Shibuya HAL Clears Two Shiren 6 Dungeons in a Five-Hour Stream

NEO-PORTE — Shibuya HAL, a Neo-Porte streamer, cleared two dungeons in Shiren the Wanderer 6 during a stream of more than five hours, finishing the second shortly before closing out the broadcast.

The first was a special-rules dungeon in which every item found is unidentified and the description lists three possible identities. HAL spent the opening hours narrowing items down by elimination, throwing, reading and drinking them, and thinking aloud about which were likely to be rare. An early attempt ended at about the one-hour mark, when HAL said the armor had been too weak and that the run had burned through its resources. A second attempt reached the end at roughly 3 hours 15 minutes. HAL called the dungeon hard and said it was fun to play while guessing what each item was. As a reward, a character in the game handed over a shield that leaves the wearer at 1 HP instead of dying from a fatal hit.

HAL went straight into a second dungeon, a mountain pass called Yamakagashi, where equipment and items can be brought in. Early on HAL walked the floors carefully to avoid being pinned between enemies, and noted that the game now paints the squares the character has walked. Shops, cursed gear and an ally character that boosted an item’s strength shaped the long middle stretch, and HAL said more than once that the item slots were tight.

On the final floor, a story scene led into a boss fight that HAL won at about 5 hours 16 minutes. HAL then said the stream’s lesson was to identify everything before the last floor, since cursed items could have been fatal there, and ended the broadcast a few minutes later.

In chat, viewers congratulated HAL at both the first clear and the end of the stream. One comment during the first dungeon’s early trouble read that mistakes are the flower of Shiren.
