Wetsomus Ruins

Wetsomus Ruins (ベナコンチャ遺跡, Benakoncha Iseki, Benakoncha Ruins) is a dungeon in Magical Vacation. It hovers in the skies of the Light Realm, and it is used by locals as a passageway between Oturan Village and Green Tea Village.

Magical Vacation
Thousands of years ago during the Age of Antiquity, a collective of puppets constructed the Wetsomus Ruins and raised it into the air. The floating ruins are accessible through shrines located on the ground; one near Oturan Village, and another in the Ricebird Fields.

Walkthrough
The party must follow Mille-Feuille through the ruins to reach the shrine leading to the Ricebird Fields. Most corridors are blocked off by ancient robots from a distant planet, and the only way to get past them is by challenging them to fights. The robots will summon monsters to the field, and if they are defeated, the party will be rewarded with items and passage to other parts of the ruins. Every robot in Wetsomus Ruins must be fought for Ancient Spirit 3 to appear.

This dungeon also has piranhas in some areas. If the player bumps into one, they will be forced to pay them bira. However, piranhas will drop a coin if 300 or more bira is paid. See Coins § Piranha exploit for more details.

In the final area, the party encounters Snowhair and must fight it to proceed. Before the fight begins, remove all of Ganache's equipment and stickers, as he will permanently leave the group with his equipped gear once the fight ends. Fortunately, his high stats and Dark Magic make it nearly impossible for him to fall in battle.

When the fight against Snowhair ends, the player is given the option of advancing to the Ricebird Fields shrine or returning to Oturan Village. For 100% completion, follow Mille-Feuille back to the Oturan Village shrine. Ganache appears briefly once the students leave the southern corridor. After that, choose "Go to the ruins' entrance" (遺跡の入口まで行く) and a cutscene featuring Ganache and Tiramisu will begin to play.

Once the party descends at the shrine, go to Oturan Village and learn of Tiramisu's fate, then return to the shrine and befriend Love Spirit 1. The choices described above are the only way to make this spirit appear. Once it is recruited, explore the ruins once more and touch the Ricebird Fields shrine.

Monsters
There are no random encounters in Wetsomus Ruins. Fights only occur when the player talks to ancient robots.

Name origin
Wetsomus is "sumo stew" backwards. This is derived from its Japanese name, Benakoncha (ベナコンチャ), which is the reversed spelling of "chanko nabe" (ちゃんこ鍋). Chanko nabe is a stew eaten by sumo wrestlers for gaining weight.
