You'll get this new main Quest after exiting Naraku and reaching Tokyo. This will go alongside with "Capture the Black Samurai" and "Activate All Terminals"
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.
This area is comprised of three different sections. Each section has a shortcut from inside the Underground District. 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.
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 Koppa Tengu
Weak: Elec
Resist: Force, Light
LV20 Karasu Tengu
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. (Egg 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.
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, refer to its quest page.
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”. 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 can enter 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.
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.
If you have the Challenge Quest “Competition for Blood”, this is where you’ll first 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.
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.
