Kichikuou Rance:Walkthrough/Monster Realm

Monster Realm
The war against the Dark Lords can only be started after the Monster Realm is unified under Kayblis' flag. If the player doesn't provoke the Dark Lords, the Dark Lords will still attack after a while.

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

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

Most Dark Lords 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 RedEye, there are several approaches: If you defeat Redeye using Freaks method and do not kill Rona, she will get her happy end. If you kill him normally without Freak and without assassinating Rona, she will get her unhappy ending.
 * 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 Galtia, 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 Martina at cooking competition (see Zeth section), Martina will offer her help. Martina will also help you if you raped her after losing the cooking competition, forcing her to leave. 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 Village. Visit the Green Village during exploration to H the girls there and Kite's army will automatically disband. Defeating Kite in this way will get you Calory's happy end, while killing Kite in combat will get you her unhappy end.

Pi-R the boy scientist dark lord 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 explore his hideout and H his sister. He will be defeated there.

If Miki is used to fight against Pi-R, or if Miki has left you due to any reason, Pi-R will be able to capture Miki, offer her to Kayblis, and turn Kayblis into the Demon King, completly changing his looks (2 girl sitting on a guy's shoulder). The Demon King Kayblis will have 60000 HP and will proactively attack your forces three times per week. 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 Pi-R get his hands on Miki. If you send out Satella against Demon King Kayblis, you will get her unhappy end.Even if you manage to kill Demon King Kayblis,you still get the same scene  like when you defeat him normally,so don't waste your time.

Kesselring 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 Kesselrink at least once, then talk to Satella, Megallas, or Ho-Laga 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. If you saved Shizuka in Zeth and did not pick Nagi, she will eventually become one of Kesselrings maids. If you kill Kesselring before that event happens, Nagi will get her unhappy end.

Three months after the war agaist the Dark Lords start, every turn there is a random probablity that La Saizel will merge with La Hawzel into La Vaswald, killing Medusa in the process.La Vaswald is technically not a Dark Lord, but a God of Destruction, but territories she conquer will count as being conquered by the Dark Lord. Every week she will fly to a random city to attack. She must be killed via brute force. To prevent La Vaswald from showing up, you can try reloading to avoid the random occurance, and defeat Medusa early (see next section). This is La Seizel's unhappy end, while rescuing Hawzel in Medusa's dungeon, and then clearing the dungeon on the northern path through the Helman mountains, will get you the Seizel Sisters as a unit and La Seizel's happy end.

Medusa will randomly abduct Milli, Isoroku and Kaoru (in that order if you have them all) as an end of turn event. You can reload to stop this from happening, but you can only get Isoroku and Kaoru's unhappy ends if they are abducted. Medusa can only be killed through brute force, and will not attack you herself.

If you attack the Tower of Evil, your troops will be sent back by Warg without having fought anything. You capture the location by trying to attack it once, then attacking Demon Lord's Castle but failing. Next turn, an event will trigger where Warg abandons Kayblis and joins Rance's harem, allowing you to take the tower. You MUST do this, and talk to Warg in the harem screen enough to order her to give you a dream,  in order to beat the creator phase.

The Dark Lord Defensive Forces
Not much to say about them, they are generic monster generals and often have ~500 troops.
