Kataribesou ~Ensouki~ (かたりべ荘～淵藪記～)/guide/Symbols

Overview
Here is a list of the Symbols, in the order recommended to defeat each.

Symbol of the Town: Queen
Queen (クイーン) is generally, the first symbol seen. She has red twintails and a somewhat

rockstar-like attitude. Interestingly, the filename of her charset translates to

"Blunt instruments-chan"

After she is defeated, the huge statue on the tower gives away the Beast of Shura (Enables combat with most characters) and No.9.

Her appearance resembles Hatsune Miku's and due to her themes of singing and celebrity, she's likely a parody of that Vocaloid.

She's a bit popular in fanart.

Symbol of the Jungle: Oyutari
Oyutari (オユタリ) is one of the Symbols that is also seen at first. It has a green body and a scarecrow-like pose, with a notable medal on its body. Its eyes are empty, and he has a rather interesting pose.

His name's etymology is unknown. But sometimes called "Oyutarin (お湯足りん)" in Joke, which means, amusingly enough, "Insufficient Hot Water".

It is also to note, that its head resembles slightly a heart.

Symbol of the Ruins: Imerokioku
Imerokioku (イメロキオク) is one of the toughest symbols to fight against.

Located at the Ruin Hotels, it resides inside a robot/machine-looking shell with a slightly broken head. It is also notable for being one of the first bosses who gradually "breaks" until it shows its true form.

Imerokioku's name seems to partially come from the greek ημερο (Date) and 記憶 (Memory).

Another thing to note is that his second form resembles the Beast of Shura.

Located: Ruins World, after the Hotel, at the greyed place. Be careful of holes!

Symbol of the Deep Sea: Minawamea
Minawamea (ミナワメーア) is one of the symbols that is hard to reach, due to the fact that she is located on the abyssal sea, as well as the difficulty of locomotion on the sea areas in general.

She is known for summoning sea horses, known as Minawashika, to help her in fight, as well as her long brown hair and unnaturally green skin.

Minawamea's name may come from "Meer" [Sea in german] + 水泡／水沫 [Bubble/Foam, both are pronounced Mizuawa].

Symbol of the Cyberworld: Kanrisha
Kanrisha (カンリシャ) is one of the symbols that appear early on, after the security door is defeated. Notable for having. in her first form. a rather apathetic pose, as well as quite a resemblance to Shidonoko, she is not an enemy to let your guard down, due to the fact that she can not only have a skill-sealing move, but a confusion-inducing move as well.

She has a blue robot-like body with a green vest with some scales/chips and a core on the middle, as well as one eye on her visor that scouts the surroundings. Her most notable features, though, are the black ponytail she displays on the second form, as well as her three horns.

Her name however, does not originate from [超人 K-1000 (Chojin)]

She is pretty popular in fanart, generally appearing with Queen. As a joke (Due to her appearance at Tower of Shura as a **  Symbol), she is shown sometimes to have a needle piercing her in the middle.

Located: Cyberworld, after defeating the Door Security.

Symbol of the Ancient: Sudamaou
Sudamaou (スダマオウ) is another hard-to-get symbol, due to being associated with an event in

which it needs some doll parts gotten by the Ancient-Cyber passage. That, added with the rather difficult boss battle, it creates quite a challenge.

Its appearance in the first form resembles a Shakōki-dogū, a sculpture done in the Jōmon era. The name "shakōki" (literally "light-blocking device") comes from the resemblance of the figures' eyes to traditional Inuit snow goggles.

On its second form, it resembles a teal electric eel, whose eyes are now rubies.

Sudamaou's name is thought to come from "thymidylate"/"Mountain spirit" [魑魅/魑, both pronounced as Sudama] + "King" [王. pronounced as -ō].

Located: Ancient World, after getting all the Doll parts, and putting them at the shrine.

Weak to: Skill sealing

Special attack: Rupture Art Magic

Recommended stats: Recommended equipment:

Hand(1): None (Combat instinct replaces it)/Kotodama Sword(Warehouse)/Demon Blade (Assassin drops it)/Dark Nebula [Mix Thin Ice Book (No.9 + Sphere of Good-n-Evil(Gotten by defeating the President)) and Black Ball (Gift from Kuroko at the Cyberworld)]

Head: Kotodamakanmuri (Warehouse)/Sqtopus Veil (Minawamea)

Body: Armor Skeleton of Drilling (Imerokioku)

Accessory: Dull-colored Necklace (Oyutari)

Helpers: Shogun and Yasushi.

Items: Vu-ada's fresh water (Vu-adapter), Sweet Apple (Forest Cat), Kotodama of Healing, Kotodama of 10k healing.

Attack strategy: Attack as desired. Recommended use of the Imerokioku symbol/Kanrisha Symbol. If Kanrisha symbol is used, be careful when attacking with Astro Cannon, since upon usage, it will make Shidonoko inactive for three turns. If Imerokioku is used, set up with both Yell Equations (1, then 2) then attack with Explosion. Yasushi should heal the party members, as well as use Kotodamas of healing/Dark gold strength, and Shogun should use Implied Kotodama to raise his stats, then Heavy Blade [Fade]. Be careful to keep all of the summonable helpers's HP up, because if they become lower than 60%, Sudamaou WILL use Kotodama absorb, OH-KOing the helpers and gaining their powers, as well as healing itself.
