Navigate Eridanus and Carina in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, obtaining the Forma Search B upgrade and triggering new missions.
Walkthrough
- 1Navigate the dark area of Eridanus 1F by going north until you can't, then west to find a door.
- 2Go down the stairs. Exploration of this floor is optional for an achievement.
- 3On Eridanus 1F, head east to find a rare Forma [Goetite] via a secret portal.
- 4Go north to Zelenin and interact with the strange device.
- 5Return the Goetite to the Lab on the Red Sprite to upgrade your DEMONICA's search function to [Forma Search B].
- 6Consider equipping the "Nurse" Sub App for upcoming status ailment floors.
- 7Head back into the dungeon and return to Zelenin's location. Equip the Nurse or Medic Sub App to mitigate status ailments like sleep and poison from green and purple floor tiles, respectively. Running from battles wakes up sleeping characters.
- 8Collect [Amrita Soda x2] and [Me Patra Stone x3] along the pathway.
- 9Defeat Bugaboo. North of where you met him, find a sleeping Jimenez.
- 10Wake Jimenez to receive [Patra Stone x5].
- 11Continue to a terminal, save, and go up the stairs to Eridanus 2F.
- 12On Eridanus 2F, find the gate-type portal in the southwest part of the area and use it.
- 13Enter the space manipulation device and Phase Shift.
- 14Collect [Balm of Rising x1].
- 15Find a secret door on the east wall near the entry point to obtain the rare Forma [Asteria Stone].
- 16Bring the Asteria Stone to Zelenin.
- 17Take the stairs down to the north to return to Eridanus 1F.
- 18In this small area, wake a sleeping Strike Team member to receive [Dis-Poison x5].
- 19Find [Soma x1] in a box.
- 20Use the portal in the southwest to continue south.
- 21Past that, collect [Agilao Stone x3].
- 22Take the stairs up and use the portal to create a shortcut to Zelenin's area.
- 23Go to Zelenin, which activates a teleport to a new area.
- 24Return to the area south of the teleport device and take the stairs up.
- 25Ame no Uzume will give you the EX Mission: Marebito, the foreign god.
- 26Find a shortcut back to the heal and save area.
- 27Take the stairs north of where you met Zelenin, past the opened shortcut, to reach another shortcut to the heal/save area.
- 28Go back past the teleport device Zelenin activated.
- 29You will encounter another teleport device guarded by a Ghoul. You cannot pass without permission.
- 30Go up the stairs beyond the Ghoul to Eridanus 2F.
- 31A shortcut to the heal/save area opens. South of there, go up to Eridanus 3F.
- 32Use the Heal Spot on Eridanus 3F.
- 33In the west, challenge Zouchouten in a battle with specific rules for an EX Mission: The ever-steeper trial I. Defeating him unlocks him for fusion and grants Sub App items.
- 34In the east, challenge Kazfiel in a battle with specific rules for an EX Mission: Before the holy battle I. Defeating him unlocks him for fusion and grants Sub App items.
- 35Secret doors in these rooms require higher rank Unlock and Gate Search Main Apps to open for future challenges.
- 36Use the elevator in the south to reach Eridanus TOP.
- 37To the west on Eridanus TOP, find a hidden gate portal leading to a terminal and heal spot.
- 38A powerful demon is detected to the north. Approaching it triggers a scene ordering you back to the Red Sprite. You cannot progress further due to Gate Search limitations.
- 39Return to the Red Sprite.
- 40You will be assigned the main mission: Signal Investigation in Carina.
- 41Inside Carina, take the elevator in northeast 1F up to 4F.
- 42Look for a hidden door on the west wall near the terminal.
- 43Inside, find more portals on the west wall. Trigger a scene behind one of the doors, which adds the main mission: Jack's Bargain.
- 44During the scene, you will face an alignment question: "Can we establish cordial relations?" Choose between Humans should help each other (Neutral), I'd sooner trust the demons (Chaos), or I don't trust anyone easily (Law).
- 45Explore the remaining areas to find [Muscle Drink x3] and [Vi Incense x1].
- 46Pick up the EX Mission: A formal search request from a goblin.
- 47Return to Eridanus to collect Forma for Captain Jack.
- 48Go to the teleporter guarded by the Ghoul on the way to 3F. You can now use it since Captain Jack's demon grants permission.
- 49In the room the teleport drops you in, use Gate Search to open a shortcut in the south.
- 50In the southwest part of the room, find a Strike Team member corpse for the EX Mission.
