Navigate the treacherous Red Temple in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster. Learn how to handle the Land of Shadow, floor traps, and defeat Skadi.
Alright, so you've made it to the Red Temple, and its whole deal is 'Shadow.' Basically, there's this Shinnentai dude in the middle of the floor who's gonna tell you this place is run by a nasty goddess. She's cooked up this 'Land of Shadow,' and if you step into any of the shadows on the floor, BAM! You're pulled into it. It's pretty much the same layout as the regular dungeon, but it's littered with floor traps. The kicker? You can't switch between normal and Shadow Land floors while you're stuck in the Shadow Land. To get out, you'll need to find a pillar of light. You'll be jumping in and out of Shadow Land a bunch, so make sure you've got Liftma handy – it's gonna be your best friend here.

Keep going until you find a room with two doors on its south wall. Head west from there, enter the light to get to the Shadow Land, go north, and then take the east door. This'll spit you back out into the room with those two doors on the south wall. Now, facing south, take the left door first. In the next room, grab the right-most door. You'll then be faced with three doors on the west wall. Take the center one, and congrats, you can finally head to the next floor.
- Third Floor: As soon as you arrive, you'll meet Skadi. She's pretty impressed you've made it this far and will ask if you know the
