Rescue the VIPs

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

Map and Demon List

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

Demon List

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

Demon List

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)
