Guide to navigating Bando Shrine in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, including lowering pillars and facing Kishin Komokuten.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find the Shinnentai near the entrance to Bando Shrine for information about the area.
  2. 2
    The target, referred to as the "great man," is located within the temple.
  3. 3
    To enter the temple, you must lower the four pillars supporting it. The Shiten-o are guarding these pillars.
  4. 4
    Head south towards a yellow light and step into it; this will teleport you to the south edge of the Inner corridor.
  5. 5
    Proceed counterclockwise along the wall until you reach a crossroads. Ignore the west branch and continue forward.
  6. 6
    You will soon arrive at another crossroads with two paths heading south. Take the westernmost path.
  7. 7
    This path leads to the South Pillar. Lower the pillar.
  8. 8
    Kishin Komokuten, the Guardian of the South, will appear and state that you must defeat him to access the Shrine.
Tips
  • Save at a terminal (a point where you can save your progress) after each Shiten-o you defeat, just in case.
  • You will need to find your own bearings since the map feature is unavailable.
