I've been promising you something big related to Ogre Battle. So, here it is. For the first time in the English-speaking world, information on the new stages in the Sega Saturn of Ogre Battle!
Map name: アイザンセン地方 (AIZANSEN chihou - Aizansen Region)
Chapter name: デネブのカボチャ (DENEBU no KABOCHA - Deneb's Pumpkin)
Becomes available when Deneb joins.
Stage boss: ゴブ (GOBU - Gob)
One of Deneb's failed experiments, who is now wreaking havoc on the Aizansen region.
Shop items: Heal, Cure All, Bell, Joker, Moonbeam
Buried treasures: 2
Boss unit: Gob (L13 Halloween), L12 Pumpkin 2x
This is an interesting unit for two reasons. First of all, Gob is the only enemy Halloween in the game. Second of all, he's a stage boss when Halloweens normally can't even be unit leaders.
Special dialogue: Confront the boss with Deneb.

Other notes:
- When you liberate the city of キノ (Kino), a thief will offer to sell you a きりゅうのツノ (kiryuu no TSUNO - Demon Dragon Horn) for 50,000 Goth. If you refuse, he will offer you lower prices, the lowest being 25,000 Goth. Accepting any offer will reduce your Reputation by 3.
- When you liberate the city of オウルベア (Owlbear), a woman named Inia will mention her missing daughter, Irene. Irene is at the southwestern Roshian Temple to protect her from being kidnapped by Gospel. After you've met Irene, if you return to Owlbear before clearing the stage, you'll find out that she has returned home, and Inia will give you a ポルトスグレイブ (PORUTOSUGUREIBU - Porthos Glaive).
- After you defeat Gospel, he will beg for forgiveness. If you forgive him, he will give you 100,000 Goth, but your Reputation will drop by 10.
- After clearing the stage, visiting the city of チュレンガン (Churengan) increases your Reputation by 1 if you didn't forgive Gospel.

Other notes:
- When you liberate the city of グローグン (GURO-GUN - Groagun), you will meet a man named Ruchenbein II, who will ask you to rescue his father, who went to Barza (the enemy headquarters) in search of a legendary gem. If you agree, after defeating Delmard, you will rescue Baron Ruchenbein, who looks identical to Toad. However, if you revisit Groagun afterwards, you will find that Ruchenbein is much more generous than Toad, since he gives you 100,000 Goth for saving him. Interestingly, refusing Ruchenbein II's request seems to have no effect on your reputation.
