Re: CardQuest2 妖怪バスター・アカネ
A little guide to the extra content. First, it's recommended that you memorise the options in battle from the main game where it's all translated. You can save whenever you want by moving your mouse to the top of the game screen. It won't be translated in the extra content, but the option with (M) is Save and the option with (J) is load. You can use that in the dungeon prior to turning around cards to give yourself the bonus and to avoid trap cards and monster cards on the first turn. Charge (second option to the right)+Vacuum cut (first option on the left) will dispose of most common monsters right away. The butterflies can still zap your energy, so watch out for that.
Lesser Oni (first boss)
Pretty easy, all things considered, if you know how it works. She will instantly defeat you if you use any items during the fight, losing that way slightly changes the game over scene. Make sure you have some energy before starting the fight against her, otherwise you're going to lose. ~4 energy should be enough. In battle she can make you drunk, that can sometimes cost you a turn. She can also interrupt your concentration when you're at two or more charges. That takes one of her gourd charges away (upper left corner). Flash will also take a bunch of those away, but it won't stun her like normal enemies. The charges will never go below 2. After some turns she accumulates miasma, it can't be interrupted. She will do damage according to her number of charges in the next turn. 2 Charges=2 damage, 3 charges= 3 damage and 4 charges=4 damage. If she gets to infinite charges and she uses her special attack it's game over. Try not to let her get above three. Lastly, she can make Akane drunk. If you use your healing ability it's instantly removed. Concentrating three times also removes it while charging your sword for massive damage. Otherwise it might stun you for a turn, which can get you in a bit of a predicament if she uses her special attack during that turn. Her game over has two variations, depending on whether you lost to her by damage or using an item.
TL;DR: Use Flash if her charges get too high and make sure that you have enough HP to survive her charge attack. NEVER use any items in this fight (arrows and pills), escaping from her gourd is impossible, if I'm not mistaken.
Afterwards you and the lesser oni will be stuck in a meat wall kinda thing. First use the second option once, then use the third option. Afterwards repeat that and you get out. Anything else will not work against this event. If your miasma reaches 100% it's also game over.
Shadow Nun (final boss)
Also pretty easy. During the fight your miasma will increase constantly. After some turns the lesser oni can use her special abilities. Oni Spark deals very high damage (pretty much equal to three charges special attack by Akane) and the Evil Purification (Gourd symbol below your items) reduces the miasma by 50%. Careful, it takes some time for her to be able to use it again and if miasma reaches 100% it's game over again. You can escape the hold of this boss by using one of the red slips, if you have one. Otherwise it's the normal procedure. High HP: Try to struggle. Low HP: Cut yourself free for 1 energy. When she charges up (red flash on the screen, nothing more) she will use a pretty powerful attack afterwards that will reduce your HP to 1 and increase miasma by ~30%. Use Flash to stun her after she charges. Try to always keep one SP for Flash, keep your miasma low with Evil Purification and you're good to go.
TL;DR: Use the lesser oni for Evil Purification, always keep 1 SP for Flash and charge your sword three times for massive damage, if you have the time.
Overall it's pretty easy when compared to the final bosses of the main game, but I thought I'd save anyone the frustration of getting stuck somewhere.

I'm back to that already and will probably update my patch there in a bit. I'm far from finished, but I'm getting there. At this point also special thanks to Stiltzkinator, without his guidance and help I'd probably never have gotten into translations of these games in the first place. He also told me of a way to fix my current problem with the patch for Card Quest 2, so I'll get to that sometime, maybe after translating all of the scenarios for Ryiru. Really, thanks a lot!
