Shinjuku Ashura-Kai | Jirae Talisman | 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.
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.
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.
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.
