Dying

When anyone reaches 0 health, she is defeated. It's not technically permadeath, but enough that she decides that she has had enough and leaves. There are three basic cases of this: when you die, when a party member dies, and when any other monster dies.

## You

If you die, the game checks to see if you have a Revival Fruit in your inventory. If so, then it uses the revival fruit to restore you to full health. Only a revival fruit in your main inventory can have this effect, not one inside of a Magic Pouch. Additionally, the revival fruit must be usable, and not cursed, frozen, or sealed.

If you die and don't have a revival fruit to rescue you, then your dungeon run is over. All gear except for the few items that you have equipped will be removed from your inventory. In some dungeons, even your equipped items will also be removed. Half but not all of the money that you were carrying will be removed, though money in the strongbox in your house is safe. You will respawn back in First Village, next to Mayor Tarte, who will explain that she revived you. Dying like this does not affect the status of your friends.

Dying without a revival fruit will immediately save your game. As soon as you get to zero health, the game is saved, so you cannot go back to an older save point. Dying with a revival fruit to rescue you will not save your game. I recommend always having at least one revival fruit in your inventory, so that if something goes awry and it activates, it stops the game and lets you consider whether to carry on or close the game to reset the floor.

## Party Members

In the original game, if one of your party members dies, then the game first checks to see if you have a shield with a fully charged Girls Bressing purple mark. If so, then the skill activates, which resets its charge to zero, but it immediately revives your friend with full health.

If not, then it checks to see if you have a Girls Defenser bracelet equipped. If so, then it will break the bracelet, but immediately revive your friend at full health. The bracelet functions much like a revival fruit for your friends in this way. I haven't actually checked what happens if you have both a Girls Bressing mark charged and also a Girls Defenser bracelet equipped, but I think that the order listed is the rational one.

If you have neither of the methods of reviving your friend available, then she leaves your party. If you had previously registered her with Mayor Tarte as one of your permanent friends, then your friend's love will drop, but she will remain available to recruit for future runs. If her love was 100, it will drop to 50. I haven't tested to see what happens if her love is lower when she is defeated. If a friend who was recruited earlier in the same dungeon run is defeated, she leaves your party permanently and will not be available for future dungeon runs.

The sequel doesn't have the same purple shield mark, and purple marks work differently in the sequel anyway. It does have a Friend Resume Bracelet for the bracelet effect. Regardless any of the methods of reviving a friend are rare in both games.

## Other Monsters

When any other monster is defeated, she is simply removed from the floor. If she was hostile, you'll generally gain some experience for it. If she was originally neutral before you attacked, it will lower your reputation. The only penalty for friendly monsters being defeated is that they will no longer help you.
