Kichikuou Rance:Walkthrough/Monster Realm

Demon Realm
The war against the Demons can only be started after the Demon Realm is unified under Keipuris' flag. If the player doesn't provoke the Demons, the Demon will still attack after a while.

The Demon Offensive Forces
Each demon count as a separate army. Each army will attack twice unless they have conquered a city. Unlike the harassment earlier, these demons will not retreat as soon as they get hurt, though some of them will retreat after an entire unit gets wiped out. Defeating the Demon will destroy the entire army. Most of the attacking demons have a fixed attacking route.

Territories conquered by the demons are protected by generic monster troops. Demons only appear when they are attacking, or if they are defending certain home bases.

Most demons may be defeated by brute force, though many can be killed via certain tricks.

Against Babora the blue giant, use one of the strategist captains to fight against Babora. The following week an additional city command (dig a giant hole) will be available at every city under your control. By digging a giant hole at the next city he attacks, he will be defeated without further fighting.

Against Red Eye the Fighting God Demon, there are several approaches:
 * 1) Use Freak to attack Red Eye twice. After a few turns, Freak will leave the party. The following turn Freak will return as a Fighting God, have a fight against Red Eye. Red Eye will not die even if you defeat him here, but will be severely weakened so that brute force is easier later. Rona will be brought back by Kanami. Two of the choices will kill Rona, leading to Red Eye's death. The other option will keep both Rona and Red Eye alive, but Red Eye will be weakend by Freak so it's easier to kill him via brute force. If Red Eye takes over one more territory, Rona will commit suicide, killing Red Eye.
 * 2) Let Red Eye progress all the way to Rog B. Then using the nature of the mountains, only Red Eye's own force can pass through the mountain to attack Maunes. Kill him via bruteforce there (Miki Nuking helps quite a bit).
 * 3) Fight Red Eye a few times to discover his secret. Then when he launches from Rog B to attack Mounes, Kanami will be sent to assassinate Rona, which in turn kills Red Eye.

Against Garudia, after letting him conquer your cities twice, a new option (poison food) will be available in all cities you control. Put poison in the cities he is going to conquer next. After having him eat poisoned food twice and not killing him, and if you have defeated Maruchina at cooking competition (see Zeth section), Maruchina will offer her help. The next time Garudia conquers a city, Maruchina will cook for him and get him to join your side. However every week a lot of money is spent from the treasury in order to feed him.

Against Kite the muscle demon, let him take over a few cities and learn from Maris about his visits to the Green County. Visit the Green County during exploration to H the girls there and Kite's army will automatically disband.

Paiaru the boy scientist demon will attack random locations as opposed to having a specific attack route. Use Rance to fight when defeating his troops PG-7 and PG-9. In both cases pick the top choice to H them right there (the bottom choice, to bring them back, will give them a chance to escape). After having H-ed both PG-7 and PG-9, you will be able to exlore his hideout and H his sister. He will be defeted there.

If Miki is used to fight against Baiaru, or if Miki has left you due to any reason, Baiaru will be able to capture Miki, offer her to Keipuris, and turn Keipuris into the Demon King, completly changing his looks (2 girl sitting on a guy's shoulder). The Demon King Keipuris will have 60000 HP and will proactively attack your forces. Every week he will recover 3 HP. He is extremely hard to defeat. So unless you are specifically looking for a challenge, don't let Baiaru get his hands on Miki.

Kesserurinku the blond vampire demon will start attacking once you get near his castle. While he has a fixed attack route, he flies so the route is a dotted line. Defeating him in combat will not kill him, and if you take over his house he can regain control over it without a fight. You need to defeat Katherine at least once, then talk to Satena, Meglass, or Ho Raga to learn his secret. Then let him conquer his way up to the Leazas Castle, then defend there without having used Rance to do anything that week. After the fight pick the choice to race into his house and fight him. When you defeat him this way, he will no longer resurrect.

Three months after the war agaist the Demons start, every turn there is a random probablity that Ra Saizeru will merge with Ra Haizeru into Ra Bothworld, killing Medeusa in the process. Ra Bothworld is technically not a demon, but a God of Destruction, but territories she conquer will count as being conquered by the demons. Every week she will fly to a random city to attack. She must be killed via brute force. To prevent Ra Bothworld from showing up, you can try reloading to avoid the random occurance, and defeat Medeusa early (see next section).
