Yuito Sumeragi: Phase 2

After regaining control in the Sumeragi Tomb, leave the area.

Accept a quest near the western walkway near headquarters.

Enter headquarters for scenes, then proceed into the Kikuchiba Simulation dungeon with Kagero and Shinden.

Follow the linear path, defeating enemies. Shinden's electricity is effective against water-based attacks.

Reach a flag, defeat enemies, and open a path forward.

Go up stairs to an open space, defeat enemies, and beware of flyers that shoot electricity.

Take the northern path down stairs to a flag, collect it, and return upstairs.

Go up the western staircase.

Upon reaching the save point and shop on the 3rd floor, stock up on Light Jelly.

Prepare to fight Kasane alone. She uses melee attacks and psychokinesis to throw objects. Intercepting thrown objects is difficult and still deals damage.

Focus on avoiding Kasane's attacks and finding opportunities to use special object attacks to damage her crush gauge.

Be ready for a button mash QTE when Kasane counters your special object attacks.

Depleting Kasane's crush gauge allows for a Brain Crush, but it is not an instant kill. Continue fighting, avoiding direct hits from thrown objects, and healing.

After the fight, scenes play, and you will receive a power enhance Mk1.

Return to the Sumeragi tomb grounds. After a monologue, your next mission begins.

After scenes in the Abandoned Subway: Suou Line 9, you will unlock Brain Drive and the Brain Map will expand with related skills. Your team will be Kagero and Tsugumi.

Locate the nearby shop and item/data spots. Proceed down the linear path.

Use Tsugumi's SAS (Struggle Arms System) to see invisible enemies.

Advance, defeating enemies. You will receive a tutorial on train special object attacks.

In an open space, defeat initial enemies, then a strong enemy (similar to the tutorial boss) will appear.

This Other goes underground and uses a long-range laser. Use Tsugumi's SAS to avoid hits and counter. Attack its side arms, which are weakpoints. Use nearby special objects for heavy crush damage.

Defeat enemies in the next section to proceed.

In the Inside Abandoned Line area, defeat a group of enemies, then take the northeast path to defeat another group and a mini-boss to pick up a gift item.

Backtrack and take the other path. Defeat Others until you reach a save point.

Proceed east, ignoring inaccessible rooms.

Go down stairs, and in the next room, go invisible and use the train to instantly defeat enemies.

Enter the northeastern room and defeat a Sabbat to get 2 items.

Go in the opposite direction, fight through enemies, and reach the next save point. Continue for a scene.

Defeat enemies (three vases and a burrowing Other).

Enter the eastern room and defeat 2 Others for another gift item.

Continue on the linear path.

In the next large open area, pick up a medium jelly (needed for a quest) and find a Data spot.

Proceed to the next area.

In Osukuni Station, go through the western part with escalators to find 2 items: one hand All: Light Jelly and one hand Medium Jelly. You can complete the quest from the main menu quest section immediately.

Go up the opposite escalators for a scene.

Defeat a few Others with Tsugumi as your ally.

Prepare for a boss battle against Other Naomi, who has 2 phases.

Phase 1: Other Naomi will only use a small yell shockwave. Use Gemma's SAS (Struggle Arms System) to close in and land combos and chains with psychokinesis.

Phase 2 (after 25% damage): Other Naomi gains a crush gauge that does not deplete normally. Avoid attacks until she uses a blinding attack. Then, use Tsugumi's SAS and attack her glowing red weak point to damage her crush gauge. Use psychokinesis and special object attacks to down and damage her crush gauge.

Alternatively, use melee and psychokinesis with Gemma's SAS to deal minimal damage while waiting for the smoke screen. This is useful as Other Naomi regenerates health slowly.

Use Brain Crush to deal significant damage. This must be done at least twice to end the battle.

After scenes, you will be in a party with Gemma. Follow the linear path until another scene plays.

Continue to a save point/shop.
