[[File:MS Mushroom Shrine Icon.png]] Sakura Castle
Sakura Castle is a theme dungeon accessed via the Dimensional Mirror. The monsters and maps are all based on Ninja Castle. In fact, Sakura Castle replaced Zipangu's Ninja Castle in several versions. A few versions have both castles, however. You cannot face the boss unless you have completed all of the quests up to opening the barrier. The final boss is the Daimyo Toad, which transforms into the Gigatoad upon death.
 * Required level: 70.


 * General notes from Rise Against (v121) patch notes

 * You will receive a mystical book. You must turn the book in to Wiz the Librarian.
 * After talking to Wiz the Librarian, you can start "The Land Across the Sea."

 * You can also use a Dimensional Mirror to get back to Sakura Castle.
 * There is a string of 16 quests that the player has to complete to figure out what’s going on at Sakura Castle. Each quest gives the player EXP rewards.

Changes from previous versions
When Sakura Castle replaced Kaede/Ninja Castle, the entire series of maps was replaced. The outside was given two new areas with monsters, the inner walls of the castle became linear, the maze through the castle was replaced by a linear progression of maps, the jump quest was removed, and all of the monsters were made easier (to fit within the 70-80 level range).

Note that Crusader Codex cards from Ninja Castle are shared by the Sakura Castle versions of those monsters, so if you finished the set previously, it is still completed. It is now much easier to complete the set, since Kacchuu Musha (now Sakura Samurai) was replaced by a normal monster version and castellan/Emperor (now Daimyo) was replaced by an instanced area that always spawns the boss. Players no longer have to wait for spawn timers to kill these monsters. Also: Sakura Toads drop Daimyo cards.
