There will be a voice that will ask you to go towards him. Find a glowing silhouette of a person in the street ahead and approach him to allow Walter to manifest. After the brief conversation, run straight ahead to another silhouette in front of the broken statue head to meet Jonathan. After the opening sequence, you’ll wake up from your nap in Lake Mikado. Your friend Issachar will greet you and will mention something about the Gauntlet Rite. The game will take you to the castle town and Issachar will attempt to ask a luxoror for directions. After the conversation, you’ll have the option to select your destination. The rite is being held in Mikado Castle. However, you can check the other locations to speak with the townspeople and learn more of the back story if you want. Mikado Castle has three locations. You may want to go to the Aquila Statue Plaza to progress with the story. During the ceremony, you’ll get your turn in the rite and as expected, the gauntlet will choose you. The head of the samurai, Sir Hope will escort you out of the plaza and to your quarters. Here, you’ll fall asleep as part of the story. When you wake up, a fellow Samurai named Walter will talk to you. He’ll mention to head to the Naraku Entranceway to start the training. The shops won’t be open for now and they’ll be marked as “???”for the meantime. You can explore the areas outside the Aquila Statue Plaza if you want. Otherwise, select Naraku Entranceway to continue. Here you’ll meet the other apprentices. Once Hope arrives, he’ll brief you of your current mission and receive basic supplies and stipends. You’ll get 300 macca and Healing Water x5. After this, you can save your macca or check the newly opened shops (Q’s Blacksmith and B’s Apothecary). Your money won’t be enough to get you some new gears and you’ll only be able to afford a few sundries. When ready, head to the Naraku Entrance. --------------------- -==Naraku Entrance==- --------------------- A few steps away lies a couple of boards that you can read. You can also interact at the edge of the ledge then press the down arrow key to jump down to the lower floor. Head towards the door and the gauntlet will display Burroughs, your gauntlet’s navigational AI. She’ll offer to explain how to use her controls and the menu. You can go ahead with the tutorial or skip it. Once you’ve unlocked the menu, save your game first. Proceed through the door and you’ll use the gauntlet to perform an area scan. During this event, you’ll automatically start your first quest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++ Training Exercise I ++++ Client: Hope Reward: 150 Macca Task: Slay some demons ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Continue inside and find some demons. Remember that once you see them in range, prepare to attack them to initiate a pre-emptive strike in your favor. As discussed in the basics section of the guide, hitting the enemy’s weakness will give you an extra turn. In this area, the Slimes are weak to physical attacks. Since you’re battling alone, it will be imperative to attack them first especially when they’re together with other demons. After your first fight, your character will level up. You’ll have to distribute the stat points to any of your stats. Once done allocating, you’ll also gain App Points which you can use to unlock Burroughs’ locked pre-programmed functions. You’ll earn App points whenever you level up. Also, after your first battle, Training Exercise I quest will be completed and you’ll get your reward. Hope will then ask you to commune with demons. This is when your second quest will start. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Training Exercise II//// Client: Hope Reward: 150 Macca Task: Recruit 3 demons into your party ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Also, Burroughs’ Scout function will become available. You can use this to recruit demons you encounter and add them to your party. Find a next demon and engage it in battle. Use the “Talk” function in your battle menu. The demon will ask a series of questions. Depending on your responses and selections, you can satisfy its requirements and convince it to join you. Choosing the wrong responsesor refusing its demands may give it a free turn to attack. In addition to answering the questions correctly, a demon will also ask for additional compensation such as items in your possession, a bit of your HP or even the life of one of your allied demons. Take note that demons have their own personalities; the answer that worked on one demon may not work on the same demontype. Remember that negotiations aren’t always successful. There will times that the demons you’re negotiating with will leave the fight after getting what it wanted. Remember to save often. You can always go back to your barracks to rest and fully replenish your party’s HP and MP. I suggest grinding a few levels so you can save up macca for better gear and have your demons level up as well. Once you collect three demons, the quest will be complete. As your demons level up, you’ll also be able to inherit “Whispered Skills”. These are skills that your allied demons may transfer to you and use them as your own. If a demon whispers a skill that you already know, it will strengthen the skill. Demons can only whisper once but you can choose multiple skills as long as you slots available. After completing the second exercise, you’ll get your rewards and the final exercise will begin. You’ll now have to find a valuable item in Naraku’s 2nd Stratum. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Final Training Exercise//// Client: Hope Reward: 500 Macca Task: Obtain the valuable item and return to Aquila Plaza. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Mapper app will be available now. You must purchase it to enable it’s function. Now with the map handy, explore the 1st Stratum and collect as many relics / treasures as you can. Once you’ve found the way leading to the 2nd Stratum, keep exploring the area until you find a sign that instructs you to look up and a ledge nearby. This ledge leads to a treasure chest with the item you need to take to complete the quest and a red demon form guarding it. If your party is at least LV4 or above, you should be able to deal against them with ease. This group is weak against wind / force attacks. The fairy-type demon Napaea has this skill called Zan that can be helpful in this battle. If not, LhamDearg’s Critical Wave will be a good substitute. Be careful of their Dream Fist attack as they can deal heavy damage. Napaea’s Dia healing skill will serve you well in this battle in addition to her Zan attack. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////To The Roof//// Client: Burroughs Reward: 0 Macca Task: Go to the rooftop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After wrapping things up with the training, you'll be given this very short story quest. From the Aquila Statue Plaza, select the "Meeting Spot" location and watch the scene. After that, you'll retire for the night in your barracks and have a similar dream that you had earlier. The next morning, head to the Tavern to continue with the story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ///To My Fellow Samurai/// Client: Navarre Reward: 100 Macca Task: Complete three quests and return to the tavern ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Upon arriving at the tavern, talk with K to learn more about your next mission. He'll also introduce you to Challenge Quests, which are basically the games' sidequests. During this conversation, Burroughs will scan the blackboard and register three challenge quests for you. The following challenge quests below can be completed in one-go. You don't need to deliver the lichen and gryphon talons immediately upon collecting them. **Tip: Some (delivery) challenge quests can be turned over repeatedly for diminishing rewards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ==A Missing Fellow Samurai== Client: Name withheld Reward: 1000 macca Task: Find the missing Navarre ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After completing the previous tasks and returning to the tavern, an unfamiliar samurai will comment about your performance but at the same time, deliver dire news. Navarre is missing and you have to return to Naraku again to find him. This will be registered as your next main quest. **Tip: Make sure at least one of your demons knows the Posumudi Skill. Naraku’s 3rd Stratum, which you’ll explore next has some poisoned areas. If you don’t have a demon that has this skill or for some reason unable to fuse one, drop by the apothecary and buy some Detox Solution. After resting, return to Naraku and breeze through the 1st and 2nd Strata to conserve your HP and MP. Before going down to the 3rd Stratum, make sure you save and bring at least one demon that can use fire attacks (Agi). It will be useful to the upcoming battle. When ready, go downstairs to the next level. Upon reaching the third Stratum, a hooded man will confront you and throw two Nagas to fight you. ########################### LV10 Naga x2= Fire: Weak Ice: Null Elec, Light and Dark: Resist ########################### The enemies will act first and will use Tarukaja to increase their attacks. Concentrate your attacks on one target at a time. This battle will be a breeze if you have more than one demon that can use agi. If you have acquired a Maragi Stone, you can use it in this battle as well. It will further help your party if you have demons that can use debuffs and buffs as well. After the battle, you can now freely explore the floor. Go past the door and engage the demon ahead. Go through a small crawlspace to find a chest containing a Detox Solution. Exit then head east. You’ll encounter Walter along the way. There’s another crawlspace here but don’t go there since there’s a wormwood blocking the path and you can only destroy it from the other side. Head north instead and pass through the poisoned corridor. Continue until you reach the intersection then turn west to find a chest containing a Dies Irae sword. If you haven’t upgraded your sword yet, equip this one immediately. Continue to the east this time and remove the poison and heal up before continuing. In another intersection to the east, go north and climb the ledge to find a medicine. Next, head south through the door. Destroy the wormwood to clear up the path to the crawlspace you saw earlier. This will serve as your alternate route around the poisoned corridor. Climb up the ledge to get more items then backtrack to the north. **Tip: Before heading further north past the intersection, swap any demons in your combat party that has weakness to ice and equip ones with fire and elec attacks. Proceed and you’ll encounter the hooded man again. This time, he’ll throw a Wendigo for you to fight with. ########################### LV10 Wendigo Weak: Fire, Elec Null: Ice Resist: Force, Light, Dark ########################### If you followed the tip earlier, then you shouldn’t worry about the Wendigo getting free turns whenever its Mabufu attack hits your party. Exploit its weakness against fire and elec, coupled with buffs and debuffs you may have. Keep your party healthy at all times while continuing attacking it. After taking the Wendigo out, the hooded man will send a horde of Wendigos and Nagas to your party. Fortunately, your fellow Samurai will arrive just in time to lend you a hand. ########################### LV10 DDS Horde Weak: Fire, Elec Null: Ice Resist: Force, Light, Dark ########################### Your allies can’t be controlled and the horde will have two turns per round. It will help using fire and elec skills that hit all enemies like Maragi and Mazio. Doing so will deal multiple damage to the horde and give you a free turn at least. If you don’t have such skills, you can attack using basic fire and elec skills such as Agi or Zio. Nonetheless, if you didn’t have problems taking out the Nagas and lone Wendigo earlier, then you should be able to manage against the horde. After the battle, you’ll have a conversation with the other samurai. They will join you afterward and will be able to assist you in battle. Heal up and save your game then proceed deeper. You’ll encounter a suspicious samurai which will warn you about a portal. As you get near the portal, more demons will simultaneously manifest so engage one and take it out to clear the area. When ready, enter the portal. ------------------- -==Naraku Domain==- ------------------- If you’re party is low in HP and MP and you’re also worried about your supplies, relax; there’s a safe spot in this domain further on. After discovering that you can’t go back to where you came from, you’ll have no choice but to explore the domain further in. There’s an exit to the northeast corner though it will just bring you back to the 3rd Stratum. Go past the exit and head south. You’ll encounter the ghastly girl for the second time along the way. Continue forth and you’ll find a door. Approach it and a strange man will make his appearance. Head inside the room ahead to have your HP and MP fully replenished. You can come back to him as many times as needed. **Tip: This may be a great time to grind and scout the demons in the area. Use this chance to fuse more demons and update your compendium as well. When you think you’re ready, heal up and proceed to the southwestern corner of the map to find another door. This leads to the domain boss. Before entering, make sure to have a demon that can heal poison and restore your party’s health. For offense, bring demons that have fire attacks and of course, buffs if you can. **Tip: The best support demon you can get at the moment is LeananSidhe. Try grinding to LV11 to reach the required level to summon her. By default, she has Media, a skill that heals all allies. Fuse her with another demon that has Posumudi to keep your party afloat in the next boss battle. In the other hand, a trained Apsaras will do the job as well. ########################### =Alraune LV11= Weak: Fire Resist: Gun, Light, Dark ########################### The boss attacks twice per round and will use Poison Breath often, which affects everyone in your party and has the chance to get poisoned. If you have LeananSidhe, have her spam Media whenever you need and use Posumudi to keep your party in top shape. Otherwise, you’ll have to resort to Detox Solutions but your supply will be very limited for a prolonged battle. It’s Dorn Gift attack deals high physical damage so be careful not to be caught off guard especially when your demons and your character is below half of their HP. It’s weak to fire attacks so use this chance to exploit its weakness and deal bonus damage. Use buffs and debuffs as well to mitigate the damage or increase your damage dealt to the boss. After the battle, the domain will disappear and the group will be taken back to Naraku’s 3rd Stratum. The quest wil be complete as well. You have to walk all the way back outside and if you’re poisoned from the last battle, the status will still carry over. Heal up then exit the labyrinth then take a rest in the barracks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Let’s Eat Breakfast//// Client: Walter Reward: 0 macca Task: Eat breakfast together ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The next morning, Walter and Jonathan will barge in and invite you to breakfast. Exit to Mikado Castle and go to the Castle City to find the Bakery. During the conversation, the baker will mention about Literatures, Sabbath and a Black Samurai. After getting your bread, the quest will be updated. Now you have to find a fine view where to have your breakfast. Head to Lake Mikado next. After arriving, you’ll find a familiar face - your old friend Issachar. After Walter offers him to join you for breakfast, he declines and states that he needs to go back to your hometown, Kiccigiorgi. After the conversation the quest will be completed. To proceed to the next main quest, you have to rest. However, there are two new Challenge quests available in the tavern. (Chagrin Slaying Competition, The Cursed Gauntlet) You can take them and finish them if you want. Refer to the guide’s Challenge Quests section for more information about these quests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Find the Survivors//// Client: Hope Reward: 1000 macca Task: Find the survivors ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To start this quest, you have to rest. Walter and Jonathan will wake you up to sneak up to the rooftop where Isabeau is hanging out. After a brief conversation, a crimson patch from a distance will lit up in the sky. You'll realize that it's from the direction of your home town, Kiccigiorgi. Head to the Aquila Plaza for an emergency meeting. As Hope stated, you can go back to the village and have your wounds be healed by the samurai healers. This is also a good stage to grind since you can always go back to fully replenish your party via allied healers. Follow the path and you’ll find a relic. The road will split to two, each with its own stationary, red demon forms, indicating they’re special demons that you must defeat. Engage the one in the eastern corner first. ###################### =LV8 Innocent Horde= Weak: Ice, Force, Light Resist: Force ###################### After defeating the horde, destroy the wormwood behind it and continue to the next area to find some survivors. Heal up if you want then defeat the next horde blocking the path. ###################### =LV8 Element Horde= Resist: Fire, Ice, Elec, Force Null: Light, Dark ###################### This horde has no weaknesses and they have two turns. It will be good to rely heavily on physical attacks when facing them. Heal your party as necessary and use buffs/debuffs to gain an upper hand in battle. Proceed to the next intersection in the path. Head to the east to find a lone survivor getting attacked by a special demon called Strix. ###################### =LV12 Strix= Weak: Gun, Elec Resist: Light, Dark Repel: Ice ###################### This demon has two turns per round but her attacks aren’t that threatening to the party. Just attack its weaknesses and it will go down in no time. Proceed to the western path this time, across where you rescued the last survivor. Engage the next Innocent Horde there and clear the path. Proceed to the next area to find two more survivors. After rescuing them, Hope will send a message regarding the source of the disaster and the most likely culprit. The quest will be updated as well. From the intersection, you’ll find two paths leading south. The one to the east is blocked by wormwood so you have to proceed through the western path. Cut through more wormwoods until the path turns. Don’t forget to pick up the relic along the way. You’ll find a ledge where you can jump off but ignore it for now. Continue forth and you’ll find a chest along the way containing a Healing Water. Go back to the ledge and jump down to find a chest containing a Revival Leaf. Backtrack again to the main path and continue east past the ledge to find Issachar. After a short conversation, you’ll have to fight him. ###################### =LV13 Issachar= Resist: Dark, Light, Poison, Panic, Sleep, Bind, Resist Null: Lost ###################### Issachar doesn’t have any weaknesses and will use Critical Wave often. Issachar has two turns but you can make him lost his chance to act for the first time by answering “I am a Casualry” when he asks you during the battle. Just have a demon with Media in your combat party to heal up your team as necessary. Use buffs and debuffs to gain a upper hand in this battle. This shouldn’t be a challenging fight since his HP is only around 560. After the battle, the quest will be updated. Continue to the east then follow the path north to find the Black Samurai. After a brief conversation, the Black Samurai will leave and will pit you against a horde of demons. After the scene with the old man, he’ll instruct you to see the girl by heading east (right) from your initial position. Head to that direction to find the girl from before. You’ll wake up from that trance and you’ll find yourself with your friends again. Hope will then ask you to report back to the forest entrance. Your quest will be completed afterward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Capture the Black Samurai//// Client: Hugo Reward: 4000 macca Task: Capture the Black Samurai ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As you’re ordered to return to the castle, you’ll have another dream. The next day, Hope will inform you to assemble in Aquila Plaza. Before going there, you may want to visit the Blacksmith and Apothecary to sell the relics and to resupply if needed. Once ready, head to the Emergency Meeting Ground to proceed with the story. After the briefing with Hugo and Gabby, you’ll have to head to K’s tavern to start with the main quest and pick up some Challenge Quests as well. Before proceeding with the long, main quest, check your gauntlet to find two more challenge quests (I want a Classy Down Quilt, Slaying the Dragon of the Lake, Dance of the Dead) Refer to the Challenge quest section of this guide for the individual walkthroughs of these side quests. **Tip: The Dance of the Dead challenge quest will be quite troublesome in your current level. You may want to try it after finishing the lengthy main quest. ---------------------------- -== Naraku – 4th Stratum ==- ---------------------------- Head to Naraku and skip through the first and second levels. Upon reaching the third Stratum, you can take the alternate route to the east through a crawlspace to avoid going through the poisoned corridor. Make your way to the northwestern path of the 3rd level to meet up with the master samurais guarding the place. They’ll then allow you to go deeper in the labyrinth. There are new demons that you can scout and fuse here. The place also has different elevations which will require you to use the ladders. Refer to the map to find the relics in the area. Make your way to the northeast ledge to find a Red Earring. Continue down south through a narrow bridge. Be prepared though since three demons will ambush you in the front and back. After crossing the first bridge, head to the southeast through a waterfall to find another chest ahead containing The Key to Naraku.Now backtrack a bit then jump to the west over the broken bridge. Head to the north first to find a ledge with a chest containing a Bufula Stone. From there, head south to reach the next level. ---------------------------- -==Naraku – 5th Stratum==- ---------------------------- Run through the straight path until you reach a door. Pick up the relic to the left and open the chest to the right to find a Revival Leaf. Now before opening the door, get your toughest demons and carry at least one with Media and Bufu. To make the battle easier as well, it will help bringing in demons with buff skills. There’s a boss fight in the door ahead and you’ll need as much help as you can get. ###################### =LV13 Minotaur= Weak: Ice Null: Fire, Light, Dark, :pst Resist: Poison, Panic, Sleep, Bind, Sick ###################### This boss has over 2700 HP which will make this battle last a lot longer. Don’t let your guard down since it also has three press turn icons. Fortunately, it has a weakness: Ice. Use ice attacks and items to gain as many free turns as you can. This boss will use War Cry to lower your party’s attack and defense then follow up with a multi-hit, all-party attack called Labrys Strike. During the battle, the Minotaur will ask you questions. Depending on your answers, you can gain an upper hand in the battle. First question: “We are determined to win” (increases your attack) Second question: “Indeed not” (lowers the enemy’s accuracy) Near the end of the battle, the Minotaur will start using Oni-Kagura which can deals massive damage and can instantly take out low HP demons you have. Continue with the assault and you should be able to outlast him in battle. There will be two paths available. Take the western arc as it contains several relic spawn points. Continue to the middle north and take the ladder down to the next area. ----------------------------------------- -==Naraku – Excavation Worker Quarters==- ----------------------------------------- This area has several treasure chests. From the ladder, check the small room past the sign to find a red chest with Dx Incense. Continue forth and an event will take place. Here you’ll find a Bruce Gun which will be added to your combat menu. It will be loaded with FMJ rounds. There will be two chests in small alcoves nearby. Loot the chests nearby to get a Patra Stone and Light Grimoire. Continue to the next alcove to find an Ag Incense. Another event will take place as you walk further south and the group will find themselves in the Sky Terminal. This will allow you to travel instantly to Naraku and Aquila plaza. Very convenient! Name the terminal with whatever you want and the link will be completely established. You can now use it to return to the surface to rest and resupply. A new quest will be added as well though this will a long, ongoing one as it requires you to find all terminals in Naraku. It will be a good time to upgrade your equipment as well since the shops will have new inventory. There are two new challenge quests (Missing Child Search, A Drunkard’s Best Friend) that you can register in your gauntlet by looking at the tavern blackboard. These two can be completed now if you want. When ready, grab the Lu Incense from the alcove in front of the terminal. Head further south and exit through the door to reach the next area. -------------------------------------- -== Naraku – Temporary Scaffolding ==- -------------------------------------- Proceed and Stephen will appear before you again. Here, the DDS or Digital Demon Service will be enabled. This will allow you to connect with other demon summoners via Streetpass. You can exchange demons attached to cards and exchange it with other SMT players. Attached demons via DDS may gain levels or come back with items. If another user receives the card, the DDS Skill that corresponds the number of received cards can be used in battle. To activate this, open the menu and select Burroughs Streetpass. Continue down the ramp to get a Revival Bead from the chest. This is a straightforward path so just follow the ramps and pick up any relics along the way until you reach the elevator. Take the elevator for a scene. -------------------------------------- -==Naraku – 1st Observation Platform==- -------------------------------------- Once you reach a new area, Burroughs will warn you about a strong demon nearby. That indicates a boss fight ahead. It will be a good idea to avoid unnecessary battles for now and just collect the chests along the way. There are only two chests here containing a Chakra Drop to the west and a Zanma Stone to the right. Before heading to the exit, you have to prepare for a boss fight. ###################### =LV15 Medusa= Weak: Force Resist: Gun, All status ailments Drain: Elec Null: Light, Dark, Lost ###################### Best prepare demons with resistance against Elec attacks and those who can use Force attacks. As usual, having demons with healing, buffs and debuffs is recommended to win this battle. This boss has three turns and will use Zionga, a more powerful form of Zio. She can also use Tathlum Shot which can cause over 100 damage. Her Rapid Needle and Snake’s Fangs doesn’t deal that much damage but can hit everybody in your party. Her life is around 2800 so this battle will be probably as tough as Minotaur. Like Minotaur, there will be two instances that Medusa will chat with you in the middle of battle. Answer her correctly and the odds of the battle will tip to your favor. First question: “Indeed, they’re beautiful” (Decreased attack) 2nd: Give her a side glance. (Defense decreased) Don’t let up on your attacks and she’ll eventually fall. After the battle, continue downstairs to the next elevator. After the scene and getting out of the building, a new mission will be available to you. At this point, you’ll have three active Main Quests that overlap each other and go hand-in-hand. Please follow the walkthrough for "Find the Military Base" for the continuation of this main quest: http://www.supercheats.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv/walkthrough/ find-the-military-base ---------------------------------------------- -==After completing Find the Military Base==- ---------------------------------------------- You’ll continue in this main quest after completing “Find the Military Base” and activating the terminal in Kasumigaseki. For now, head back to Mikado and use the barracks to heal everybody. Next, head to K’s tavern to receive some new challenge quests.(Relic Recovery: Small Fridge, PC, Power Cable and Wind Turbine) You can also drop by the Hunter Association in Ueno and accept some new challenge quests. These quests are probably too much for you at this point so they may have to wait until you’re at least LV30. (The Secret to Durable Clothing, Samurai and Hunters United and Hunter Tournament Prelims). Please consult the Challenge Quests section of my online guide for the individual walkthroughs of these sidequests. (check the link at the top of this guide) When you’re ready to proceed, head north of Sakura-dori/ Tokyo Station area past the guide NPC in the city map. Enter the marker there to find a hunter that will help you cross the river to the new area for 500 macca. ---------------- -== Shinjuku ==- ---------------- In the first intersection to the west, past the poisonous swap is a tunnel that leads to Ikebukuro region. There’s nothing much you can do there at the moment but there’s a chest to the northwest containing a Bead. The only accessible area is through a group of buildings to the southwest of the tunnel but you can’t proceed anywhere at this point of the game. In Shinjuku, keep heading west past the tunnel across the poisonous swamp until you reach the other side of the city. There are demon domains here but don’t be fooled; the bosses of these domains are WAY too high for your current level. (Unless you’ve been grinding with DLC challenge quests) You can explore the vast Shinjuku area and grab some items and relics along the way. ++ Relics spawn points: Park Tower, Yoyogi Stadium, Nakano Building ++ Items: Chakra Pot, chest in the southwest corner Bead Chain, chest northwest, past the poisonous swamp ++ Demon Domains: Yoroi Shrine Further south are more locations of interests. However, be warned that the demons here can be too much to handle if your current level. ++ Relic points: 4 Towers ++ Domains: Cameron Building Once ready, make your way to the south and turn east in the 4th intersection. You’ll get past the Park Tower relic point and you’ll find the Shinjuku South Entrance and the Shinjuku National Park. The latter is not your objective yet but you can get a couple of items there. -------------------------------------------- -== Shinjuku National Park – Pond Garden ==- -------------------------------------------- This is not your objective yet but you can explore the area to find some items and relics. ++ Chest, southeast corner: Balm of Rising ++ Chest, west: Summon Stone ------------------------------- -==Shinjuku – South Entrance==- ------------------------------- This is a large area with lots of relics and treasures to loot. On your way in, you’ll find a young girl named Hikaru. She’ll give you a tip to check out the Juraku Bookstore in Ikebukuro. This will also update the quest and unlock two new apps: Skill Augment and Gift Augment. Examine the corpse to the northwest corner of the first area to find a Dis-Poison. Head to the east and check the wall to find a vent you can climb in. This will lead you to another room with a chest. Open it for a Chakra Pot. Now head to the middle and enter through the narrow passage. There’s another hunter corpse in the northeast corner of the inner area, beside a closed grate. Examine it to get a nerve gas. There’s also an elevator in the middle though your access is limited for now. Head to the other side of the station to find relic and a ladder that will allow you to climb up the roof of a small convenience store. Loot a Bead from there. Now go back down and go to the southwest of the convenience store to find another ladder. Climb it to reach an enclosed area with two chests containing a 10-point card and Summon Stone. Due west of the convenience store is a room that you can enter. Here, you’ll find another female hunter which happens to be a friend of Nozomi. She’ll ask for your help in taking pics. This will be registered as a new challenge quest. (Shelter Inspection) After talking to her, exit this immediate area (don’t leave to the city map!) and find the stairs leading to Shinjuku’s Underground District. ------------------------------------ -==Shinjuku Station - Underground==- ------------------------------------ Before doing anything else, go straight up to find a red button. Push it to open the gates. To the west lies the elevator that will take you back to the surface and to the right is the terminal that’s currently occupied by a demon. There are also some new items in the stores here so you may want to upgrade your gear and prepare your party before attempting to clear it. ############ =LV24: Ose= Resist: Dark ############ This demon has around 900 HP and has no weaknesses. Its main attack is Fatal Sword, which deals 150+ damage to a target. You need to bring out high-HP demons as well as those that can increase your party’s defense and/or lower the enemy’s attacks. If you have a demon that can innately nullify/repel/ absorb physical attacks then by all means use it. Having a demon with a skill buff that can repel physical attacks will do as well. Defeating this demon will unlock the Shinjuku Terminal and update the main quest “Activate All Terminals”. You can now check the tavern in Mikado to receive a new challenge quest (Creating Fireproof Clothing). Use this chance to conveniently use the barracks and rest up. Talk to the man in a black suit to the west of the station to update your main quest. Head to the east this time to find the shops and Shinjuku Hunter Association. Check the bulletin board to register new quests. (Corpse Disposal, Quality Food, Phantom of Madness, Training Battle 1, Training Battle 2). Refer to the challenge quests section of this guide for more information. ** Note: Of all the available Challenge Quests available, Corpse Disposal is very lengthy since it is required for the main plot to continue. After completing Corpse Disposal, the main quest will be updated. To proceed further to the story, return to the Shinjuku Underground District and talk to the Heavily Accented Man for him to open the shutter and give you access to the western side of the Shinjuku Underground District. A new main quest will become available as well. (The Seat of Government) There are also a couple of new Challenge Quests that you need to trigger by talking to certain NPCs. (Her Memories, Ikebukuro Free District) Refer to the challenge quests section of this guide for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------ -==After completing the main quest The Seat of Government==- ------------------------------------------------------------ From the Government Office Plaza, return to the West Entrance Buildings and go through the manhole to the south. Follow the straightforward path until you reach the Shinjuku Underground District. You can accept a new quest from the Hunter Association (Demon Guarding the Shrine) though it can wait since you need to face a LV45 demon for that specific challenge quest. Finish whatever extra business you may have then prepare to move out. From Shinjuku, head north to where the poisoned swamp is and enter the tunnel leading to Ikebukuro. ------------ -==Sugamo==- ------------ After exiting the tunnel, hug the rock wall to the north until you run across a hole that will allow you to explore the area further north. There is a relic spots there and a building that has a demon’s domain at the end of the road to the west. The master of this domain is a LV44 Grendel. Defeating it will render a SDF Equipment, which is a valuable relic. Facing this strong foe is entirely optional and you can just fight it later once your party’s level is near it. If you still haven’t looted the chest to the northwest, follow the road to that direction from the other side of the rock wall. To proceed with the mission, head to the southwest and follow the ramp leading to an entry point. -------------------------------- -==Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front==- -------------------------------- Approach the barrier and a woman named Kaga will approach your group. Since you have the Jirae Talisman from completing the last main quest, you should be able to use it on the barrier. After a brief conversation with her, a new main quest will be registered. (Hunting Xi Wangmu) For the walkthrough of this quest, please follow the link above. ------------------------------------------ ===After completing “Hunting Xi Wangmu”=== ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- -==Ikebukuro – East Entrance==- ------------------------------- After defeating Xi Wangmu in the main quest “Hunting Xi Wangmu”, the path leading to this area from the Ikebukuro Underground District will become open. This is a fairly large area so you’ll have to rely on the map to know the locations of the relics and hunters’ corpses for loot. There is also a large portion of the area that’s poisoned so you have to have a demon that has Amrita or Me Patra to help you cope with it. If you have accepted the challenge quest “Sunset for a Demonnapper”, search the room on the western side of the area, south of the stairs leading to the station. If you have the challenge quest “Ikebukuro Free District”, the spot where you can take a photo of the Ikebukuro East Gate is located in the middle portion of the map, north of the taxis enclosed in a railing. After looting the area, make your way to the southeast where you’ll find the Juraku Bookstore. It currently has a demon’s domain which you need to explore and clear. ------------------------ -== Juraku Bookstore ==- ------------------------ As you run around the domain, you’ll encounter the same horde of Lilim demons shortly. They were the same horde that you encountered in the Kiccigiorgi Forest mission. ################### =LV30 Lilim Horde= Weak: Ice Null: Elec, Light, Dark ################### Pummel these demons with your party-based ice skills like Mabufu/-la/-dyne and Ice Breath. You shouldn’t have problems defeating them since their HP is only around 1100. After defeating the horde, explore the domain further until you reach the door that leads to the Black Samurai. After a short dialogue, she’ll finally surrender and you’ll finally be able to complete this quest. You’ll be back to Mikado automatically as part of the story. Read through the next dialogues and part ways with your friends. Drop by K’s Tavern to register new challenge quests. (I’m No Good at Demon Fusion, Training Battle 3, Training Battle 4) To proceed with the story, head to Mikado Castle and select Obelisk Plaza to attend the public execution. The next morning, head to the Monastery to receive a new main quest. Please refer to Rescue the VIPs for more information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Find the Military Base//// Client: Hugo Reward: 3000 macca Task: Find the Counter-Demon Force Base ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After Burroughs scans the area, the map will be different. The glitchy blue forms represent demons so you have to be careful when approaching them. There are several locations and items to be collected in the area. Northeast of the tower is a chest containing a Chakra Pot.From there, head north a bit to find a chest by the river containing a Dx Incense. From the tower, go southeast to find another chest with Balm of Rising at the end of a wide highway. Further to the west you’ll find another chest containing a Bead. Head further west and you’ll find Ueno Station. Enter it and explore the area. ----------------------------------- -==Ueno Station – Front Entrance==- ----------------------------------- There are several relics in the area that you can gather. There are some relics that replenish over time, like the Delivery Door beside the station entrance and Ambulance in the far west of the entrance. Beside the Delivery Door relic point is a hanging ladder which you can climb to find a relic pile near the ledge. Destroy wormwood beside the station entrance as well to acquire the Lu Incense from a chest at the end of the path. When ready, head downstairs to the station. ----------------------------------- -== Ueno Underground District ==- ----------------------------------- Upon arriving, you’ll be greeted by a smirking man. This is a safe zone, which will provide you relief after battling Medusa and exploring the immediate area. There’s a nearby vent leading to Ameyoko Way, the area south of the station. Ignore it for now then head west. Save your game and prepare for another battle. Beyond the door right beside the vent is the terminal but you have to clear the demon’s domain there. ################### =LV14 KoppaTengu= Weak: Elec Resist: Force, Light ################### ################### =LV20 KarasuTengu= Weak: Elec, Ice Repel: Fire Null: Light ################### This battle will be quick if you have Mazio. The larger Tengu is also weak to Ice to use that to exploit their weaknesses and get more turns. This horde will often use regular attacks. Just make sure to heal if necessary and don’t bring out demons that are weak against force attacks. After clearing out the station and lifting the domain, the Ueno Station will become available. This will also update the main quest “Activate All Terminals”. Now you can go back to Mikado instantly. You can also go further west and explore the Central Underground District. There’s a tavern/bar there that has new Challenge Quests. (Eggs for One Hundred, I Want to Make the City Bright) Now is the best time to finish any challenge quests you left behind in Mikado. Of the two new challenge quests, you can quickly do Eggs for One Hundred then just proceed with the main story since you’ll come across the other challenge quest on the way there. You have to talk to the Cold Man inside the bar to get a new Main Quest. There’s also a black market here weapons, guns and ammo. Talk to the old man and type in “Erawan” to gain access to this store. To proceed with the story, head to the Hunter Association and talk to the Cold Man. Another main quest “Peallaidh Extermination” will be added to your list. For the complete walkthrough, that quest's section in this guide. After completing Peallaidh Extermination and obtaining the boss demon’s head, you may want to check the Hunter Association to register two new Challenge Quests. (Competition for Blood, Deliver the Film) Between the two, you can immediately complete “Deliver the Film”. The other challenge quest will require you to defeat certain demons that are available outside the Military Base so we’ll get to that along the way. Refer to the Challenge Quests section for more information. When ready, return to the city map and head east a bit from the Ueno Station. Once you find the river, go south to find two markers close to each other. You need to go to the lower marker to find a horde of demons waiting by the riverside. They’ll ask for Peallaidh’s head. To return the favor, they can act as a bridge for you to reach the next area. After crossing to the new area, talk to the guide in the street to learn where Shinjuku, Tokyo Station and Kasumigaseki are located. The main quest takes place to Tokyo Station. Head west past the guide and take the road south. You should find a chest containing a Bead. If you head north of the guide, you’ll find a relic spawn point in Teito College. Follow the main roads to the southeast and you’ll find Tokyo Station. You canenter it and just explore the area a bit but you’ll only be limited to talking to NPCs. If you head to the southwest portion of the station and you’ll be blocked by a Ring of Gaea member. Should you choose to ignore this location, continue further to the southwest of the station to find the next area. ---------------------------------- -==Kasumigaseki – Sakurada Dori==- ---------------------------------- This area is wide but small. There are two relic spawn points here and an inaccessible chest at the moment. Your main objective is to find a working elevator to reach the Counter-Demon Base. The other elevators in the area are locked down, except for the one in the middle-left side of the map. Don’t forget to get the Bead from the chest to the south as well. When checking the elevator to the west, two humans will block your way and will attempt to shoo you away. Ignore their warning and you’ll have to battle their demon pet. ################### == LV21 Tsuchigumo == Weak: Ice, Force Resist: Phys, Light, Dark ################### This battle shouldn’t be that hard since this demon has two elemental weaknesses and only have around 1140 HP. It has strong attacks but can only hit one target at a time. Avoid using demons weak against elec to avoid giving the enemy free turns. After taking out the demons, the underlings will leave your party. Activate the elevator and head to B1F. ------------------------------------------- -==Kasumigaseki –Nagatacho Passage (B1F)==- ------------------------------------------- If you have the challenge quest “Competition for Blood”, this is where you’ll encounter Strix demons. Defeat them to get the required number of blood for the quest. There’s also a vent you can enter before reaching the other elevator. This will take you back to the fenced area in Sakurada-dori. There’s a relic spawn point and a chest containing a Balm of Rising there. Return to the vent and take the elevator to the next floor. ------------------------------------------- -==Kasumigaseki –Counter-Demon Base (B2F)==- ------------------------------------------- The first room to the west is a terminal but you have to defeat the boss demon that created a domain there to be able to use the terminal. For now, enter the room to the southwest corner for a short scene. You’ll obtain a new gun called Lock Steyr, a Demonica armor set and an ID Card. This will update the other main quest “Capture the Black Samurai”. Once done, use the ID card to open one of the locked doors there to get a Chakra Drop. Open the large door to the south next using the ID card. You’ll stumble upon the abandoned briefing room of the Counter-Demon force. Burroughs will download the data and send it to the monastery. After a short scene, this mission will be complete. For the continuation of the main objectives, refer to the Capture the Black Samurai quest walkthrough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Peallaidh Extermination//// Client: Wall-Eyed Jun Reward: 3000 macca Task: Defeat Peallaidh, who has occupied Shinobazu Pond. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You’ll get this main quest by talking to the Cold Man in Ueno Station’s bar. This will be active alongside other main quests available at the moment. Head to the terminal and go through the vent beside it to reach Ameyoko Way. ----------------- -==Ameyoko Way==- ----------------- This is just a small area with two relic spawn points that you can find in the middle and southeast. There’s also a ledge in the middle, to the east that you can climb. You can find a greedy hunter here for the meantime. The stairs to the southwest leads back to the Central Underground District so just ignore it for now. Go west from the manhole to reach Central Way. ----------------- -==Central Way==- ----------------- There are several relic points in this area, especially in the eastern side of the area. There’s also a Friendly Hunter on the top of the subway entrance to the southern part of the area who offers to trade Expanse Meat at triple the market price. You should come back and talk to him when you have it. To the southwest of Central Way lie two wormwoods. There’s a chest behind it containing a Bead and a manhole leading back to the Undeground District’s inaccessible stairwell which has a chest containing a Summon Stone. There are multiple relic spawn points here, especially in Central Way’s eastern side. One of those spawn points, lead to a demon domain as part of the challenge quest I Want to Make the City Bright. Refer to the Challenge Quests section for the walkthrough of this sidequest. The path to the northeast corner leads back to the Ueno Station Entrance. Destroy the wormwood blocking the path so you can easily access Central Way from that area. Loot any relics that may have respawned then return back to the Underground District. Use the terminal to teleport back to Mikado and use the barracks to heal up for free. Return to the Underground District and go to the district’s second area where the shops are. There’s a path to the southwest leading to the Underground Passage. The vent and the stairs here will lead back to the same area: Shinobazu Pond. For convenience, enter through the vent first. -------------------- -==Shinobazu Pond==- -------------------- There are relic points in the southwest and northeast , along the pond’s outer ring. There’s an exit to the middle-north part of the area which leads you back to the city map. You can enter another building there however there’s no one there yet so you can just ignore that exit for now. Continue east of the outer ring to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot and ledges where you can jump off. Ignore them for now then check the middle path of the pond. Jump off from the broken fence so you can hop on the floating platforms. Find a ladder in the pagoda’s northwest side and climb it to find a chest with a Hawthorn Spear.This is a good weapon to equip since it can hit 1-3 times and can target all enemies. Plus, it can cause the Sleep status ailment as well. However, you should also remember that your pre-emptive strike will be a thrust instead of a slash so you have to adjust your distance accordingly. There’s a relic on a floating platform to the southwest. After getting it, continue to the southeast and destroy the wormwoods there to open up the path. Your target is located in the small dock with small boats. Before entering it, climb up the roof to find a chest containing a Balm of Rising. You can take this time to go back to the district to heal up, especially if you happen to engage several demons while exploring the whole area. Bring demons with sizable HP and primarily those with fire skills. When ready, enter the dock to find Peallaidh. Once the battle starts, Peallaidh will summon a horde of demons. #################### =LV17 Mou-Ryo Horde= Resist: Phys Repel: Ice Null: Gun, Dark #################### This horde has no weaknesses so your main attacks should focus on the types they’re not strong against. Use elec, fire and force attacks to whittle their HP away. Their HP is only around 830 so it shouldn’t take that long to eliminate them. They use Mudo and their physical attacks deal multiple hits. After taking out the horde, the main boss will appear. #################### =LV17 Peallaidh= Weak: Fire Resist: Ice, Light, Dark #################### Its HP is around 1200 only so you can quickly take it down with continuous fire attacks. The only attack you should worry is its Axel Claw that deals moderate damage to multiple targets. This battle shouldn’t be hard, as long as you have 2-3 demons exploiting its weakness and getting free turns. The quest will be completed and you’ll obtain Peallaidh’s head. This is necessary to proceed with your ongoing main quest, “Find the Military Base”. There will be two new quests in the Hunter’s Association so don’t forget to register them in your gauntlet too. (Competition for Blood, Deliver the Film) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////The Seat of Government//// Client: Shinjuku Ashura-Kai Reward: Jirae Talisman Task: Slay the demon at the Metropolitan Government Office ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This main quest will be given by the heavily accented man who’s blocking the western side of the Shinjuku Underground District. You have to complete first the challenge quest “Corpse Disposal”. Once done, head further to the underground district’s western side and exit through the stairs leading to the Shinjuku Station – West Entrance. -------------------------------------- -==Shinjuku Station – West Entrance==- -------------------------------------- A few steps away from the stairs is an open door. Enter it to find an Ambitious Hunter inside. Talk to him and show him your camera to start a new challenge quest. (Ikebukuro Free District) Find a ladder behind the closed subway entrance and climb it to find a chest on the roof containing a Balm of Rising. Next, find the open manhole in the middle and go through it to find a chest with another Balm of Rising inside. Finally, go behind the stairs to the north of the street to find a Dx Incense inside a chest. After clearing the entire area, exit west to reach the next area. ----------------------------------------------- -==Shinjuku Station –West Entrance Buildings==- ----------------------------------------------- This is a very small area with very few loots as well. Do not go through the manhole to the south as it will just bring you back to the West Entrance Passage. Continue to the west to reach the next area. --------------------------------------- -==Shinjuku- Government Office Plaza==- --------------------------------------- Both main paths are blocked by wormwood barriers so you have to jump off from the broken railings. Let’s start by jumping off from the southern railing. Search the southwest corner to find a chest containing a Chainsaw. Be careful since there’s a pitfall trap along the way. After looting the chest, go upstairs to find a hunter corpse. Loot it to find a Revival Bead. Continue upstairs until you find two chests containing a Chakra Pot and Gold Jet. Now go upstairs and destroy the wormwood barrier in the same level where you jumped off. Next, backtrack to the broken railings and jump off from the other railing to the north. After landing, you can loot a hunter corpse behind to get a Nerve Gas. Go upstairs and destroy a wormwood barrier to find a chest behind it. Loot the Ag Incense from the chest. Continue upstairs and destroy another wormwood barrier. Head to the west this time and go downstairs. There’s a relic spawn point in the middle of the street in the middle of the street and a hunter corpse behind the bushes to the middle-south. You can loot a Revival Bead from it. Finally, go upstairs to the southwest to find the last wormwood barrier in the area. Destroy it to clear the path. Save your game and head to the government office building entrance. You’ll find some men talking to the target demon. After the negotiations have broken down, you’ll be given the option to kill the demon or not. If you decide to slay the demon, you’ll have to face it in battle. #################### =LV26 Jirae Kuebiko= Weak: Fire Drain: Force Null: Light, Dark #################### Spam this boss with fire attacks and use buffs/debuffs to further increase your advantage in battle. Avoid using force attacks and physical attacks (since it can counter). It uses Wind Breath, Rakunda and a devastating phys attack called Axel Claw. It’s HP is almost 2000 so keep burning it with fire until it succumbs. After defeating the enemy, you’ll obtain the cash reward and the mission will be complete. You’ll also obtain the key item Jirae Talisman. If you refuse killing it, you’ll have to face a Harpy Horde instead. #################### =LV26 Harpy Horde= Weak: Gun, Elec Resist: Phys, Ice, Fire, Force Null: Light / Dark #################### For this battle, spam the horde with your gun and elec attacks. Multi-hit attacks should work best in shredding the horde’s 1900HP. After defeating the horde, the Ashura-kai man will leave. You won’t get the cash reward for this but you’ll still earn the same experience and the Jirae Talisman nonetheless. This key item is necessary to break the barrier in Ikebukuro. Refer to the main quest “Capture the Black Samurai” for the continuation of the main story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Hunting Xi Wangmu//// Client: Burroughs Reward: 0 Macca Task: Slay Xi Wangmu ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You’ll get this quest after breaking the demonic barrier in Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front and after talking to Kaga. -------------------------------- -==Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front==- -------------------------------- Start by collecting the relic in the black car ahead. If you have accepted the challenge quest “Ikebukuro Free District”, you should be able to climb up the car to take a photo of the Ikebukuro Sun Building. After taking the pic, continue to the northwest until you reach the next area. ------------------------------------ -==Ikebukuro- 60 Street Crosswalk==- ------------------------------------ There are a couple of hunter corpses here where you can loot a Chakra Drop and Poison Gas. The blue car also contains a relic. To the southwest blockaded portion you’ll find a chest containing a Balm of Rising. After collecting the treasures, return to the previous area and jump off from the broken concrete wall. ---------------------------------------- -==Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front (lower)==- ---------------------------------------- Beware of the purple sludge in the streets since it can poison your characters. Explore the area for relics and items. From your landing point, head to the northwest to find a chest with an Ag Incense inside. The ladder nearby will allow you to climb back up to the flyover. The chest to the northeast corner contains a Light Grimoire. There’s an exit to the southeast leading back to the city map though it only leads to a relic spawn point. Xi Wangmu’s domain is located to the southeast, where a Ring of Gaea member is standing outside. If you want to heal up before facing this demon, you can visit the Ikebukuro Underground District and clear the demon domain that’s occupying its terminal. Head to the southwest to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot and a relic. From there, you can exit to the city map. ---------------------- -==Ikebukuro Region==- ---------------------- Once in the city map, you can enter the nearby temple to find Hariti. If you have the challenge quest “Sunset for a Demonnapper”, this is where you can find her and continue the quest later on. Make your way to the west and pick up the relic along the way.Go north to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot. From there, follow the road east to find the Ikebukuro Underground District. ------------------------------------ -==Ikebukuro Underground District==- ------------------------------------ The first thing you’ll notice is that this isn’t a safe zone unlike other underground districts. There are a few rooms with NPCs but they won’t be of any help. Just go follow the path and go around. There’s a room with a Lifeless Woman to the east and she’ll ask you if you’re a demon or a human. Either choice will prompt the woman to leave. Proceed further to the northwest and destroy the wormwood barrier. Save your game and enter the terminal door to a demon’s domain. You have to defeat a group of demons afterward. ############# =LV28 Kaiwan= Weak: Ice Null: Dark LV28 Incubus x2 Weak: Elec Resist: Force, Light, Dark ############# This shouldn’t be a hard battle, considering their HPs are practically low. Just exploit their weaknesses to win the battle. If you have an all-out ice skill, you can use that to exploit Kaiwan’s weakness while damaging the incubi as well. Otherwise, you can do the other way around, by exploiting the incubi’s weakness using all-party elec skills. After clearing the terminal, the main quest “Activate All Terminals” will be updated. You can now head back to Mikado and conveniently rest in the barracks before returning here. Once ready, head back to Ikebukuro – Sunshine Front (lower) and enter the domain to hunt for Xi Wangmu. -------------------------- -==Domain – Sunshine 60==- -------------------------- This domain has a fixed map so it’s easy to navigate. Just ignore the other rooms since there are no way of saving those trapped NPCs without defeating Xi Wangmu. Head east then north then west to find Kaga fighting a couple of demons. She’ll let you take out one of them. ################## =LV28 Qing Niugai= Resist: Dark Null: Light ################## This demon doesn’t have any weaknesses but its HP is just around 1000. You just need to attack and heal normally to take it out. After defeating the demon, heal up and have some demons that can dish out Force skills and has anything to counter elec skills. Lastly, having demons that can debuff will be practically helpful in the upcoming boss battle. Save your game when ready then open the door ahead to face the boss. ################## =LV30 Xi Wangmu= Weak: Force Resist: Phys Null: Light, Dark ################## For the first round, don’t bother attacking her. Instead, buff your party and/or use debuffs on her. Once you used your non-offensive skills, try attacking her only to discover that you’re dealing very minimal damage on her. During this scene, the other Ring of Gaea members will arrive and attack her as one. Finally, Kaga will also lose her life along with the other members. This unfortunate incident will render Xi Wangmu susceptible to your attacks. This is the time also to go all out and chip her 4500 HP away. She will start the battle using Orchard Guardian, a skill that will raise all her stats. If you have Dekaja, you can use this skill to nullify the enemy’s buffs. Other debuffing skills like Fog Breath, Acid Breath and War Cry can also help even out her advantage. Xi Wangmu can use Maziodyne, which can be pretty destructive to any demon that has no resistance or has weakness against it. Her another skill is Megaton Press which can be easily repelled if you have Tetrakarn. When she’s critically injured, she will use Queen’s Feast, which will deal considerable damage to everyone and will heal her in the process. Continue dealing damage to her using force skills and heal up your party as necessary. After defeating her, the quest will be complete. In addition to the exp reward, you can now also fuse Lady Xi Wangmu through special fusion. Defeating Xi Wangmu will allow you to finish the following ongoing challenge quests: Ikebukuro Free District and Sunset for a Demonnapper. Refer to the Challenge Quests section for details. For the continuation of this quest, refer back to “Capture the Black Samurai”. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Rescue the VIPs//// Client: Gabby Reward: 4000 Macca Task: Rescue the three VIPs imprisoned at Shinjuku National Park. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After receiving this quest from Gabby, travel back to Tokyo and head to the Hunter Association in Shinjuku Underground District to get some new challenge quests. (The Malevolent Star Falls, Excavate Coffee Beans, Protect the Tower) -------------------------------------------- -== Shinjuku National Park – Pond Garden ==- -------------------------------------------- When ready, travel to Shinjuku Underground using the terminal and exit to the city map. Enter the nearby location to the south of the station to enter the Shinjuku National Park. If you haven’t explore the area yet, head to the west to find a chest containing a Summon Stone. The path will be blocked by wormwood and you have to break it from the other side so turn back and follow the path leading east this time. Approach the magical barrier and check the gap to the left to find another chest. Stand in front of the barrier and examine it. The hexagram barrier will react; use it to destroy the barrier and continue forth. Check the alcove to the southeast to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot. Further to the west lies a hunter corpse that will net you an Expanse Meat. Proceed further to the west to destroy the wormwood barrier. Head to the south next only to be stopped by the guard. You’ll have to fight him and his demon to proceed. #################### =LV31 Balor= Resist: Force, Light Null: Fire, Dark #################### This demon doesn’t have any weaknesses so you’ll have to rely on healing and buffs/debuffs to gain advantage in battle. Balor is also fond of using Maragion and Mudoon so bringing demons that has defenses against these attacks will help. He also uses Megaton Press which can be reflected using Tetrakarn though you don’t have any idea when he’s going to use it. Its HP is around 1,100 so you shouldn’t encounter problems in the long run as long as you keep your party healthy. After defeating the demon, proceed south to enter a new area. -------------------------------- -==Kagome Tower- Lower Level==- -------------------------------- Turn east to find a chest containing a 10-point card. Next, follow the path and make your way to the room to the south. This area has some really interesting demons so you can fight and recruit, maybe fuse to new more powerful demons. Return to the Underground district if you need to heal up but if you just want to complete your objectives (and if you’re confident that your team is powerful enough), you can just avoid as much battles as possible. After reaching the next door, save your game and enter. Here, you’ll have to face one special demon. ################## =LV33 Murmur= Weak: Fire, Ice Repel: Elec, Force Null: Light, Dark ################## Keep on the offensive by exploiting its weaknesses. It’s Axel Claw is an attack to look out for since it deals multiple hits on a target. You may want to reflect it or just keep your party’s HP up. Bring out a demon that has defenses against Murmur’s Mazionga, to force him to lose his press turn icons. His HP is only around 1300 which can be pretty short especially if you get full press turns from attacking his weaknesses. After defeating Murmur, you’ll be able to free one of your captured fellows. The quest will be updated as well. Continue forth and take the stairs. Be wary of an ambush that will trigger when you’re near the exit to the next floor. Collect the relic here and move on. ------------------------------- -==Kagome Tower- Upper Level==- ------------------------------- This is yet another straightforward path. As usual, be careful of enemy ambushes along the way then continue until you reach the next door. Save your game and fight the next demon guarding the cage. ################## =LV33 Gemori= Weak: Ice Drain: Fire Null: Light, Dark ################## This demon has practically low HP (around 900) so just exploit its weakness and you should be able to take it out in one turn by taking advantage of extra press turn icons. After defeating the demon guardian, Walter will open the cage and escort the captive outside of the tower. Proceed forth to the next door in the same level. Be careful of the paralyzing trap on the way to the second door as it can ensnare you and leave you vulnerable for demon attacks. Save your game outside the door and face the next guardian. ################## =LV33 Asmodeus= Weak: Force Drain: Fire Null: Light, Dark ################## This demon is a bit dangerous compared to the other two guardians you have faced so far. It has around 2600 HP so expect the battle to drag on longer. Consider using buffs and debuffs since this demon can buff and even heal itself. Asmodeus’ attacks are diverse so its really hard to determine what attack to defend against. It’s Hell’s Torment can deal heavy damage to everyone, proportionate to their max HP so keep everyone afloat using Mediarama. Exploit his weakness to force skills to get extra turns. After defeating the demon and rescuing the last VIP, exit the tower and head back to the Shinjuku Underground. From there, take the terminal back to Mikado. Go to the Monastery to complete the quest. You’ll also get two main quests. (Kill the Black Samurai and Onward to Shibuya) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Onward to Shibuya//// Client: Burroughs Reawrd: 0 Macca Task: Follow Tayama’s directions to Shibuya ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Prepare your party before heading out, and maybe complete some challenge quests available. When ready, take the terminal and travel to the Shinjuku terminal. Exit the underground district back to the city map. From the Shinjuku Station, head west a bit then proceed to the south. If you haven’t explored the area yet, you’ll find a chest near an NPC by the sandy area near the rock barrier. A short walk to the east you’ll find a hunter woman that will give you a general idea about the district. Head to the west to find a tunnel you can enter. There’s also a relic spawn point nearby and a demon’s domain. Enter the tunnel and the guard will let you pass through. --------------- -== Roppongi==- --------------- Once you’ve reached the next area, you can explore it a bit. To the north of the tunnel lies a demon’s domain where a LV40 Demonee-ho resides as the domain’s boss. Clearing this domain will net you a Firearm Box. Head south from the tunnel then follow the road east to find a chest containing a Bead. You’ll find the Tokyo Tower further to the east but there’s currently no locations of interest here except a lone relic spawn point near the tower. There’s a demon’s domain in Camp Meguro to the southeast that has a LV47 War Horde (Drain: Fire, Weak: Force) as the domain boss so you may have to save it for later until you’re around that level. If you manage to clear it out, you’ll get a Bazooka Set. To the southwest corner is a chest containing a Summon Stone. When ready, return to the tunnel and enter the location directly next to it to get to Shibuya. As soon as you enter, Burroughs will inform you about an incoming message. Tayama himself will inform you to make your way to Club Milton. -------------------------------------- -==Shibuya Station – Front Crosswal==- -------------------------------------- This is an enclosed area. Start by checking the relic and random treasure location in the southeast corner, from the entrance. Head a bit to the west to find another relic spawn point and a hunter corpse that has Charkra Drop in the middle of the street. Continuing to the west will lead you to the next area but explore the northern side of this area first for more loot. Go through the opening in the steel fence then turn left immediately to find a Gold Jet from the chest and a random treasure in the dead end. There’s a chest to the northeast containing a Bead, a hunter corpse to the northwest that has a Knockout Gas and a relic spawn point at the closed door. There’s a room to the northwest as well that has a demon but just ignore it since it will just talk to you. The subway entrance to the northeast leads to Underground District D but it’s closed from the other side. Ignore this then leave the fenced area. Continue to the west. ----------------------------- -==Shibuya – 108 Building==- ----------------------------- There’s some stairs leading to Shibuya’s large underground district. It is a safe area that has shops and the hunter association in case you need some healing and supplies. You need to head there to reach Club Milton but for now explore the next areas for more relics and loot. Loot the hunter corpse in front of the stairs to get a Nerve Gas. Exit to the southwest to reach an enclosed area in Shibuya – Dogenzaka. Open the chest to get a #1 Bazooka. Return to 108 Building afterward. Head to the middle west to find a relic spawn point in the building entrance. Go upstairs beside it to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot. Continue to the northwest to reach the next area. ----------------------------- -==Shibuya – Inokashira-dori==- ----------------------------- Don’t get discouraged by the wormwood barriers you’ll immediately see in front you. Approach them then take a left to find a hunter corpse. Get a Dis-Poison from it then follow the path until you reach the main road. Be careful since there’s a fairy horde among the random demons in the area. Head south of the street to find a random treasure and relic point. Head north this time to find more relics and a hunter corpse to the northeast backstreet. Get an Expanse Meat from it then destroy the wormwood barriers. This area is now clear so you can just go back to the Underground District. ------------------------- -==Shibuya Underground==- ------------------------- District A has the weapon shop where you can find good upgrades to your current melee weapon, gun and ammo. Proceed to the northeast to reach District B. To the northwest corner you’ll find the terminal entrance. Save your game and heal up your best party to clear the demon domain. ################ =LV33 Orochi= Weak: Elec Null: Fire, Ice, Light, Dark ################ This demon’s weak to Elec so use demons that can exploit that weakness. Its main offensive element is ice so forget about bringing demons weak to it. It will debuff the party using War Cry so it will help using your own buffs to level out the battle. Its HP is just around 1,500 so it shouldn’t be that much of a battle, if you’re able to utilize your bonus press turns. After defeating Orochi, the main quest “Activate All Terminals” will be updated. From the terminal, continue to the northeast and climb up the ledge to reach the next section of the Underground. Check the deadend to the north to find a Light Grimoire. Next, go upstairs to the east to find ladder going up. This leads to Miyashita Park, an enclosed area where you’ll find some items. Check the chests for Balm of Rising, Summon Stone and Ag Incense and some relics. Go back underground and exit south of District B to reach District D. From there, find the exit leading to Shibuya’s Front Crosswalk and press the button to raise the railing. There’s a chest to the district’s west side but it’s protected by some objects so ignore it for now. Continue south to exit to District C. In this district, you’ll find the Hunter Associate to the southwest. Enter it to get some new Challenge Quests and/or heal up. (Help Me Get Some Servers, Banquet of Flames, Hunter Tournament Finals, Training Battle 5 and Training Battle 6) After getting the quests, exit to the southeast but don’t take the stairs yet. Enter the vent to reach the unreachable chest in District D. Obtain a Chakra Pot from the chest then go back to District C. Exit using the stairs. ---------------------------------- -==Shibuya Station West Entrance==- ---------------------------------- A bit to the southwest is a relic point. In front of it is a shed that you can climb on. Loot the chest there to find a Lu Incense. Head south and go upstairs to find a couple of hunter’s corpses containing a Revival Bead and Nerve Gas. There’s another relic point in the bus and another one near the stairs to the southwest. After checking the whole area out, enter the underground entrance to the west. -------------------------------- -==Shibuya – Inside Mark City==- -------------------------------- There’s nothing much to do here aside from checking the rooms and talking to NPCs. There’s a relic spawn point here but that’s about it. Exit the area. ------------------------- -==Shibuya – Dogenzaka==- ------------------------- Loot the hunter corpse nearby to get a Revival Bead. Head to the east to find a couple of relic spawn points and a chest containing skull rounds. The west and middle paths are blocked by wormwood so take the path to the east and destroy the barriers. Loot the corpse in the western path to get a Poison Gas. Continue north and follow the path until you reach a dimly lit alley. An accented manager will meet your party. The quest will be complete afterward. During the conversation, a new main quest will be added. (Off Koga Saburo) Koga Saburo is located ahead so heal up your party and bring out demons that can dish out Ice attacks and has defenses against physical, force or elec. You’ll prefer demons that has defenses against Phys attacks since the next boss’ most damaging attacks belong to this type. Better yet, have some demons that can heal and buff as well. When ready, enter the alley to meet Koga Saburo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Off Koga Saburo//// Client: Shibuya Ashura-kai Reward: 9000 Macca Task: Defeat Koga Saburo ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After receiving this quest, continue to the dark alley to find this boss demon. You’ll have the option to challenge it or walk away. Challenge it to battle. ################## =LV35 Koga Saburo= Weak: Ice Resist: Phys, Gun, Elec Repel: Force Null: Light, Dark ################## Koga Saburo has three press turns and will start off using Sukukaja to increase his hit and evasion rates. He’ll also use Javelin Rain, Fatal Sword or a quick combination of Zandyne or Ziodyne. If you don’t have any demons that can counter those skills, don’t use demons that are weak against those attacks instead. Its HP is around 2200 so the battle can drag on for a while or end quickly depending on how much your party can withstand his attacks or how you offensively take advantage of extra press turns. After defeating Koga Saburo, the quest will be complete. After a short scene with the Ashura-kai man, you’ll get a new main quest. (Onward to Roppongi) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Onward to Roppongi//// Client: Burroughs Reward: 0 Macca Task: Go to the Hills Building in Roppongi and meet with Tayama ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From Shibuya Station, exit to the city map then head east and enter the tall building there. The guard will tell you to use the elevator to reach the 52nd floor and meet Tayama himself. He will ask one more favor before the hostage is released. He will give you an option to accept the quest or refuse. Whatever you choose, you’ll get a new main quest. The quest will be completed after the conversation ends and after your party returns to the city map. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////Kill Yuriko//// Client: Tayama Reward: 5000 Macca Task: Kill Yuriko of the Ring of Gaea ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Use a terminal to travel to Kasumigaseki then exit to the city map. You need to enter Tokyo Station, a short walk to the east. ------------------- -==Tokyo Station==- ------------------- Once inside, head to the southwest corridor where a Ring of Gaea man will stop you. You’ll have to choose if you’ll tell him that you’ve come to kill Yuriko or if you want to join the Ring of Gaea. Either option will still put you in a fight against him and two of his demons. This battle shouldn’t be that hard. Just head the demons with force attacks and use the extra press turns to deal more damage or concentrate your attacks on the remaining targets until all of them are defeated. After defeating the man, he’ll tell you to take the entrance test. The quest will be updated. Continue to the next area afterward. --------------------------------- -==Ginza- Underground District==- --------------------------------- Move forward a bit for your gauntlet to scan the area and create a map for you. Head to the east and you’ll find Ginza’s terminal. It is unguarded so you just need to head there and activate the terminal. This will also update the main quest Activate All Terminals. There is some new equipment here as well. Browse the weapon shop’s inventory and upgrade your arsenal if you can afford it. For the main objective, you have to head south to Hongwanji Passage. You’ll find Ginza’s Hunter Associate to the west. Check the bulletin board to get another challenge quest. (The Great Drunkenness)The stairs nearby leads to Ginza – 4th District Crosswalk. This is an enclosed area with gates where you need to pay the gatekeepers for them to let you through.(See the “I will Give You My Black Card” quest) The following part of this walkthrough is optional. If you want to continue with the main story, go to Hongwanji Passage then exit to the city map in the area called Ginza Region. ----------------------------------- -=Ginza – 4th District Crosswalk==- ----------------------------------- The other gates will be locked and the only one accessible is to the west. However, the Ring of Gaea man guarding it will ask you to pay 5000 macca. Do so and you’ll be able to access the other areas beyond the gate. ------------------ -==Harumi Way A==- ------------------ This is small area with several relic points. After collecting the relics, you can go to the southwest corner of the area to find a staircase that leads to the next area. ------------------------- -== Southwest Passage ==- ------------------------- This passage is filled with toxic mist. This won’t cause you to get the poison status immediately however every few steps will slowly drain your party’s HP. This place is worth exploring since there are two chests that contain good loot. Follow the path south until you see another path leading north. Destroy the wormwood barrier then continue forth until you find a chest. Open it to get a Battle Earring. Return to the main path in the middle then continue east. Get close to the rubble to reveal a vent that you can enter on the ceiling. Ignore it for now. Take the path going south and destroy the wormwood barrier in another path along the way. Loot the 10-point card from the chest there then destroy the other wormwood barrier in the same corridor if you want. The path further south is a deadend. Backtrack to the vent beside the rubble to the east to reach the next area. ----------------------- -==Southeast Passage==- ----------------------- The room to the north contains a shabby man that will sell a Silver Coin. This is part of a challenge quest later on so you won’t be able to buy it from him for now. You have to go back again after getting the Platinum Card from the southern gate in the 4th District Crosswalk and once you have 100,000 in your pocket. There’s also a chest to the northeast and southeast though you can’t access them yet. Enter the room to the middle-right to find a hunter that sells a Gold Card for 5,000 macca. However, he will increase the price to 10,000 macca. Buy it from him if you have the cash. The Southeast Passage has two more vents you can enter, one in the southeast corner and one to the southwest. The southwest vent leads to a chest containing a Balm of Rising while the vent in the southeast takes you the enclosed chest containing a Bead. You have to walk your way back to Ginza – 4th District Crosswalk. ------------------------------------ -==Ginza – 4th District Crosswalk==- ------------------------------------ Head to the south to reach the southern gate. The Ring of Gaea woman there will ask you to pay 50,000 macca before she lets you through. ------------------- -==Central Way A==- ------------------- This is a small, enclosed area. There are two relic points to the western side and two ladders on both ends of the Kabuki Theater’s entrance. The northern ladder leads to a Chakra Pot while the other ladder leads you to the Platinum Card. You can now head back to the 4th District Crosswalk. ------------------------------------ -==Ginza – 4th District Crosswalk==- ------------------------------------ Once you have the Platinum Card, you can now buy the Silver Coin from the man in the Southeast Passage for 100,000. If you head back to the Ginza Hunter Association , you’ll get the challenge quest “I will Give You My Black Card”. Deliver the Silver Coin you bought earlier to finish the quest. Completing this challenge quest allow you complete another challenge quest since you’ll need to use the Black Card to access the last locked down gate. ------------------ -==Harumi Way B==- ------------------ This is a small enclosed area with multiple spawn points. These spawn points yield 3-star and 4-star relics that you can sell for much higher prices. Other than that, there’s no other interesting objects in the area. --------------------------------------- -==Central Way B – Shopping District==- --------------------------------------- This gate to the north requires the Black Card to access. This immediate area doesn’t have anything of interest aside from a few relic points. Exit to the west to reach the Shopping District. The district has the Members-only Item and Weapon Shops, that sell unbelievably expensive (yet top-quality) items and equipment. If you have accepted the challenge quest “The Great Drunkenness”, you’ll find a red demon in the northwest corner of the shopping district, right outside the Members-only Weapon Shop. There’s a minor scene where Isabeau finds one of the chapters of the manga she’s reading in a shop behind the weapons shop. There’s also a group of bickering demons inside a shop to the south of the weapons shop which will ask you which one is the “heroine”. Choose any one of them to receive an item. There are also a few relic points here. After exploring the area, you can now return to the Ginza Underground District to proceed with the main story. Go through the Hongwanji passage and exit to Ginza Region. ------------------ -==Ginza Region==- ------------------ You need to enter the temple that’s right outside of the passage where you came from. However before entering it, you can explore some of the accessible areas in this region. There’s a chest to the south that contains a Bead. The two locations on the way to the desert portion to the north have demon domains in them. Get past these domains and head further east will lead you to a relic point and a chest containing a Summon Stone. Enter the temple when ready. Domains: ++ St. John’s Hospital: LV44 Ghoul x3 ++ Kabuto Shrine: LV75 Alciel (Reward: Kusanagi Tsurugi) Once inside, a Ring of Gaea member will greet you. You’ll learn that you have to pass their entrance test. He will upload a new Challenge Quest in your terminal, “Overcome the Trial”. //// OVERCOME THE TRIAL //// Client: Ring of Gaea Member Reward: 3000 Macca Task: Get through the trial put upon you This is a mandatory challenge quest that’s part of the main quest "Kill Yuriko". Accept the quest from your gauntlet to proceed. You have to reach the main temple before your candle goes out. The candle’s status will be displayed while you’re exploring the place and during the battle. The lesser damage you receive from combat, the better. ------------------------- === Tsukiji Hongwanji === ------------------------- Your allies will go separate ways so you’ll have to rely on your demons in battle. The battles will be mandatory so don’t bother going around the stationary demons. From the entrance, refer to your mini-map and head east. Defeat the demon there and follow the path east, pass the other hallways blocked by wormwood barriers then south until you find a portal. Enter it to reach another hallway in the room. --------------------- === Main Temple === --------------------- Destroy the wormwood barrier straight ahead then enter the next portal to the left. In the next corridor, defeat two more demon groups ahead and enter the next portal. ------------------------- === 1st Training Hall === ------------------------- After emerging in a new area, open the chest nearby to get a Balm of Rising. The path in the middle is blocked by wormwood so you either have to go through the east or western portals. The eastern portal will transport you back to the entrance so head west instead and defeat the demon. Enter the western portal. In the next hallway, go around to the east and follow the corridor until you find a demon along the way. Defeat it and destroy the two wormwood barriers. Enter the portal to reach the next area. ------------------------- === 2nd Training Hall === ------------------------- Defeat the demon around the corner and you’ll find two more portals to the north and south. Take the portal to the south to reach the main temple entrance. Before moving forth, save your game. A Ring of Gaea member is waiting there and will serve as your last test before you can proceed further. ############ LV40 Taraka Null: Light, dark ############ This enemy has no elemental strength or weakness and immune to Light and Dark insta-kills. Its HP is around 2700-2800. It can use Tetrakarn and Mudoon that can easily take out your party one at a time. Concentrate in attacking it using elemental skills to bypass the effects of Tetrakarn. Since its only means of damaging you is by using ordinary attacks, you can use your own Tetrakarn skill if you have. Bring out demons that have defenses against dark attacks to increase your chances of winning. After defeating the boss, you’ll need to go through the door to complete the challenge. However, you can take the portal where you came from to return to the entrance and fully explore the area to get the other items you may have missed. If you don’t want to bother, just skip the steps below. ---------------------- === Main Temple === ---------------------- (Starting from the entrance) Head west then enter the portal there. In the next corridor, follow the corridor to the west then go around to the north. Defeat the demon along the way then continue along the corridor heading east. Enter the portal there to be transported to the other corridor in the same area that’s blockaded by wormwood. Open the chest containing a Chakra Pot then destroy the wormwood. We’re done in this area so let’s go back to the entrance. Take the portal where you came from a few seconds ago to return to the entrance. (Starting from the entrance again) Head west then enter the portal there. Instead of going west, head north and enter the portal. (1st Training Hall) Enter the portal in the middle. (2nd Training Hall) Enter the portal to the north. Destroy the wormwood barrier to your immediate left. The portal to the northeast will transport you back to the entrance so take the southwest corridor and defeat the demon there. Enter the portal to get back to enclosed area in the Main Temple.

After getting the treasures, make your way to the entrance again then follow the steps below to reach the Main Temple. (Main Hall) Go west, enter the portal. In the next corridor, go north and enter the portal again. (1st Training Hall) Enter the portal in the middle. (2nd Training Hall) Follow the corridor to the northwest then enter the southern portal. Enter the large door ahead. You’ll find your allies in the next room as they have completed the task as well. This challenge quest will be complete. However, your celebration is cut short since you’ll be caught in a trap. ------------------------- -== Passage of Ethics ==- ------------------------- After landing on the dungeon-like passage under the temple, the mission will be updated. Continue forth and you’ll find a split path. You’ll be presented with choices which will affect your alignment. Jonathan’s suggestions tend to incline towards “Law” while Walter’s choices incline toward “Chaos”. You’ll have to make your choices on three different paths along the way. -First Question- ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ You are the ruler of a country. You have called upon your people to gather en masse for a game. Among those who attend, one is extraordinarily tall. What would you do? If you would exclude this person for the sake of fairness, go right. If you accept one's height is merely a part of their individuality and include this person, go left. -Second Question- ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ You are the chief of a village which has lived the same way for 1,000 years. One day, a man visits your village, carrying with him revolutionary technology. This technology would greatly ease your people's lives, but would also do away with their current lifestyle. What would you do? Go right if you would expel the visitor in order to preserve the lifestyle you have always known. Go left if you would welcome the visitor in order to adopt his technology for your village. -Third Question- ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ The love of your life lies in front of you, unconscious. There is no hope that they will ever wake again. You have already tried many things, to no avail. What would you do? If you would care for this person for the rest of your life, go right. If you would stop all treatment and allow this person to perish naturally, go left. After making your choices, you’ll meet Yuriko herself. After the scene, this quest will be completed and you’ll get another main quest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ////The Face of True Evil//// Client: Lilith Reward: 9000 Macca Task: Inspect the facility beneath the Hills Building in Roppongi ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------- -==Tsuki Hongwanji – Shelter Ruins==- ------------------------------------- You’ll continue exploring the ruins underneath the Ring of Gaea temple. There are some traps along the way but there are no demons you’ll encounter yet. Go around the path to the west to find a chest containing a St Incense and the other side of the wormwood barrier that you can destroy. Take the ladder in the middle north to reach the next corridor. Continue forth and follow the path. Like the room, go around to the west to find another chest (Summon Stone) and the other side of the wormwood barrier. Take the ladder to the northeast to continue. In this room, go around the corridor and grab the Bead Chain from the chest and destroy the barrier if you want. Open the door to the north to reach the Main Temple. When asked where you want to go, exit to the main building then take the portal to return to the entrance. Exit to the city map next. Return to the Ginza Underground District . -------------------------------- -==Ginza Underground District==- -------------------------------- Head to the fountain and you’ll meet Hikaru and Walter there. After the conversation, you’ll obtain the Matchbox and the quest will be updated. While you’re at it, you may want to visit the Tavern in Mikado first to get a couple new Challenge Quests: Require Ample Weaponry, Heavy Weapon Recovery. Travel to Shinjuku next. ----------------------------------- -==Shinjuku Underground District==- ----------------------------------- Head to the Hunter Association to get two new challenge quests. (RxW Smacktacular XIII, Serial Kidnapping + Arson) From there, head to Shinjuku East Entrance Main Street then exit north to Kabuki-cho. ---------------- -==Kabuki-Cho==- ---------------- Head to the café to the northeastern corner of the area. Show the matchbox to gain entrance. Inside, you’ll find Hikaru, Skins and Fujiwara himself. After the conversation, head back to the underground district and take the terminal to Shibuya. ------------- -==Shibuya==- ------------- Exit the underground district and make your way back to the city map. Head east past Tayama’s tower, save your game and enter the next accessible building to find a demon inside. ------------------------- -==Roppongi-Midtown 1F==- ------------------------- You have to defeat Tenkai in order to proceed. This LV44 Famed demon has resistance to phys, gun and all elemental attacks and can nullify both light and dark. It uses Megido to deal almighty attack to your party and will even increase its resiliency further by using Rakukaja. Heal as necessary and compensate with Tenkai’s natural defense by using buffs and debuffs. If possible, use your own almighty attacks. After dealing around 600+ damage to him, he’ll ask you a question about your ideal Tokyo. Select the answer that best describes your alignment. Continue dealing damage and he’ll ask you what you’ll do if you learn about Ashura-kai’s secret. If you happen to answer that you don’t know, Tenkai will just become stronger. Continue dealing damage to him and he’ll eventually tell you to defeat him. This means his HP is critically low and just push forward with more damage and he’ll go down. Tenkai will leave behind a slab of stone after he’s defeated. Take note of it since you’ll have to pick something up from that stone later on. Head north instead and check the northeast corner to find a chest containing a Bead. Backtrack to the stone and follow the corridor east. You can’t go further because of the barrier but you can go through a vent around the corner. This will take you to a closed balcony with a chest containing a Balm of Rising inside. Go back to the vent and take the elevator to the east, near the barrier to reach the 33rd floor. ----------------- -==Midtown 33F==- ----------------- Go to the west first then check the door to the southwest. You’ll obtain a St Incense from there. In the same office room, check the cubicles to the east to find a hunter corpse, a 10-point card from the chest and a relic spawn point by the large door. Run to the north and follow the hallway to the east. Enter the room around the corner to get a Dx Incense. South of that room is an open vent and another relic point. Get the relic and enter the vent to reach the chest in the western room to get a Sleep Harpe from it. Head east and destroy the wormwood barrier in the corridor to the south. Follow the path northeast to reach the next elevator. Don’t forget to get the Summon Stone from the chest in front of the elevator. Use the elevator to reach 43F ----------------- -==Midtown 43F==- ----------------- After exiting the elevator, head to the southeast to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot. Backtrack a bit then head west this time. Pick up the relic from the door along the way then go around the corner to reach the next room. There are two more spawn points by the doors along the way. Go around the dividers and examine the room to the southwest. You’ll get an Ag Incense. Follow the path until you reach the elevator lobby. Don’t take the elevator yet. Instead, go north and destroy the wormwood barrier. Enter the room nearby to get a Ma Incense. Return to the elevator and use it to reach the 54th floor. ----------------- -==Midtown 54F==- ----------------- Head to the south and check the corner beside some vending machines to get a St Incense. Enter the nearby security room to a Lu Incense. Head to the north and examine the door there. Burroughs will warn you about a strong demon ahead. Don’t worry about it since you won’t fight it. After the conversation with Mastema, he’ll take down the barriers. You’ll be outside the room after this so head to the east and use the elevator to reach 1F. From there, take the stairs nearby to reach the next area. -------------------------------- -==Midtown – Employee Passage==- -------------------------------- This is just a short area so just follow the path until you reach the trapdoor leading to the area below. -------------------------------- Midtown – Former Army Shelter==- -------------------------------- Go straight ahead then turn to the first right to find a chest containing a Chakra Pot. Return to the main path and follow it until you stumble upon a hunter corpse. From there, you’ll come across another intersection a few steps to the west. Head north then west to find a chest containing a Bead Chain. Make your way to the south and follow the path until you reach the door. Exit to the next area. ------------------------- -==Reverse Hills – B7F==- ------------------------- There are smaller rooms here that contain gas-masked men and their victims. Just ignore them if you want and enter the room with the glass door to the southeast corner to find a Chakra Pot from the chest. Take the path in the middle and destroy the wormwood barrier there. Head to the northeast corner and destroy another wormwood barrier there. The glass door’s switch seems to be broken so ignore it for now. From there, head west for a bit then enter the next small room before reaching the glass door in the northwest corner. You’ll find a gas-masked man here that will give you Key #2. Head to the elevator to the south and use the Card Key there. This will give you access to floors B8F and B9F. Go down to B8F first. ------------------------- -==Reverse Hills – B8F==- ------------------------- This floor has the same layout as the previous floor. Enter the glass room to the southeast corner to find a chest containing a Bead. Head to the room in the middle-north to find a gas-masked man teaching a couple of kids. He’ll give you Card Key #3. Enter the glass room in the northwest corner and go up the broken vent up in the ceiling. This will take you to the enclosed glass room in B7F. Loot the Gold Bulldozer from the chest there. Go back down and head back to the elevator. Go to B9F this time. ------------------------- -==Reverse Hills – B9F==- ------------------------- Check the glass room to the southeast and you’ll find a hunter corpse inside. Next, check the glass room to the southwest corner and open it. Go up the vent opening on the ceiling and do it once again to reach the enclosed glass room in B7F that has a chest that contains a Great Chakra. Return back to B9F and go around the middle hallway. Destroy the wormwood barriers and make your way to the northeast corner glass room. Open the door and climb the ceiling vents to reach the chest on B7F containing Gouma Rounds. Continue to the northwest and destroy the other wormwood barriers. Go to the corner glass room this time and open the door. Loot the Summon Stone from the chest inside. Finally enter the room beside the glass room to find a gas-masked man in the middle of an extraction. You’ll have to fight the demon horde he’ll send at you. This horde isn’t that difficult. It’s weak against fire so use an all-party fire attack to decimate the horde quickly. You’ll obtain a Brown Bottle and Card Key 4 in this room. Head to the elevator to the north and use that Card Key to reach the next floor. ------------------------- -==Reverse Hills – B51F==- ------------------------- From this floor, just go downstairs to the south and enter the door. After the dialogue, the quest will be complete. Head north towards the elevator for another scene. Just go through a few more scenes and another main quest will become available. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ================TO BE CONTINUED - GUIDE STILL IN PROGRESS================
