Yuito Sumeragi: Phase 9 to 10

After the scenes, you will immediately face Nagi. He is more offensive and proactive, avoiding psychokinesis (PK) attacks more often. Use teleportation and well-timed melee attacks to create openings for PK attacks and lower his crush gauge. Mix in Assault and Combo visions to further deplete his crush gauge.

Warning: After Nagi reaches 25% health, he unleashes a powerful, high-damage attack. Have an All:max jelly or All:medium jelly ready. Continue hit-and-run tactics until you can perform a Brain Crush.

When Nagi uses Brain Field, use Gemma or Luka to run and avoid damage until the timer expires and he reverts to Brain Drive. Then, defeat him using the same tactics.

Consider equipping defensive plug-ins for this fight. Keep track of Nagi to avoid his annoying long-range attacks. If he uses mist, immediately activate Clairvoyance.

After defeating Nagi, rush to the OSF headquarters, go to the objective marker, and watch the scene. Proceed to the safe zone for more scenes.

Head to the new location: Arahabaki Secure site.

Bridge of Purity: After scenes, advance and use PK to lower the bridge. Defeat the enemies. The path is linear; keep moving forward. A data spot can be reached with teleportation.

Reach the save point, defeat the next group of enemies, and interact with the blue device to open the gate.

Follow the path to the next open space and defeat all enemies, including a new Sabbat type. Use teleport to close distance and attack it. Utilize special objects and pyrokinesis to quickly reduce its crush gauge.

While on a moving floor, you will be attacked. Use teleport to instantly close the distance and attack the Base Paws. A barrier will appear; use teleport again to pass.

Continue to the Hallowed Grounds area.

Hallowed Grounds: Defeat the group of Others. Lower the bridge and activate the blue device to open the next gate.

Go through the gate. In the next section, find and activate the terminal to open the nearby gate. Return to the center to fight two new Sabbats.

Defeat them and proceed through the third gate.

In the triangular-shaped area, navigate the moving floor and Base Paw setups on two sides. Reach the base of the triangle to fight more Others.

Advance to the next large open space and defeat several more Others, including a new Chinery type with two weak spots but high resilience.

Continue forward; minor fights aside, it's a straightforward path to the next area.

Worship Hall: Defeat the enemies and move along the path until you reach a wide open space with two Others. Activate the terminal.

Use teleport to enter the western area, defeat the Others, and activate the terminal to open the one leading out. In the next section, defeat more Others and a final terminal.

Jump back down to the first area. Go straight north to reach the next save point.

Prepare for a round of Others, including every new large Other type encountered so far. Stay alert and focus on each enemy, dealing with weaker ones first to avoid being ambushed.

At the end of this area, watch the scenes and prepare for a boss fight against Karen.

Karen has a vast arsenal, including teleportation, ice and electricity attacks, and strong melee. To win, equip Gemma for armor and use teleport to close in. Time PK attacks and Combo visions to land effectively and deal damage.

If you can use Brain Field, do so and spam the projectile attack button for high damage and accuracy.

Warning: When Karen uses his Brain Field, your only option is to RUN. Use Luka's teleportation as much as possible, moving in any direction until the timer reaches zero. If teleportation runs out, use Gemma's SAS. Swap between them as needed.

Adapt to Karen's patterns and find counters as you fight. The fight ends when his health reaches 50%.

Watch the scenes and walk straight to talk to the designated person.

After the scenes, all members of Kasane's Group will formally join your party, granting access to all their abilities via SAS (Struggle Arms System).

Use the world map to visit Suou city for more scenes. You will then return to the hideout, which is now much more crowded.

Standby (Phase 9): The entire cast is now available in the hideout.

Kasane's group members start with SAS level 1. Speak to them, complete bonding episodes, and give them gifts to raise their SAS levels. Some may automatically reach level 2 or higher due to previously completed bonding episodes.

The Shop and Exchange Shop have been updated with weapons for the new members and new presents.

Speak to everyone with a bond symbol above their head to initiate bonding episodes or reach Rank 2 or higher instantly.
