Complete Part 33 of the Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux walkthrough. Defeat Reaper Orcus and Human Jack, navigate Jack's Squad HQ, and upgrade your Visualizer.
Walkthrough
- 1After defeating Reaper Orcus, exit the area by heading northeast up the stairs. On 4F, go into the dark area, move 2 tiles west and 1 south to reach the terminal. Use it to return to the Red Sprite.
- 2A new mission, "Save Crewman Jimenez," is added. Head to the Lab and speak with Irving. He explains that the Sun Mirror and Moon Mirror can be combined with other items to create a new Main App.
- 3Prepare yourself and head to Jack's Squad HQ.
- 4Jack's Squad HQ 1F:
- 5Proceed forward and defeat the two Human Soldiers.
- 6Enter the next room, access the terminal and Heal Spot.
- 7Go west and talk to the soldiers in the middle to initiate a fight against two Human Soldiers and a Human Sergeant.
- 8Exit this room, take the east path, and enter the southeast door. You will face another fight with two Human Soldiers and a Human Sergeant.
- 9After the battle, flip the switch to the 'off' position.
- 10Explore the rest of 1F. The door to the Lightning is open, but the hatch to the ship is closed.
- 11Find the secret door in the northwest room. Inside, you'll find [Life Stone x5] and another secret door leading to a random Forma.
- 12Find the secret door in the northeast room. Obtain the rare Forma [Piercing Stone] and return it to the Red Sprite's Lab.
- 13Irving will upgrade your Visualizer to [Visualizer B].
- 14Return to Jack's Squad HQ and head down the stairs on the southern part of 1F.
- 15Jack's Squad HQ B1:
- 16The door ahead is locked. Search the room for a portal and go through it.
- 17Continue forward and enter the next door. At the fork, take the south path to find [Frag Grenade x2] in the southern room.
- 18Take the north path. You will encounter Louisa Ferre.
- 19Continue past Louisa Ferre into the dark area. Your new Visualizer B will allow you to see.
- 20Enter the first room to find [Bead x2]. Return to the dark area.
- 21Follow the linear path and enter the first room you see. Ask the scientist about Jimenez's whereabouts.
- 22Ask about him being a scientist to receive the code.
- 23Back in the dark room, take the southmost door to find [Nerve Gas x2].
- 24Return to the beginning of the floor and use the code to enter the locked door.
- 25During the subsequent scene, you can make choices, but the outcome is the same. Choosing to fuse Jimenez with Bugaboo shifts your alignment slightly towards Chaos.
- 26Head to the Lightning, located at the north end of 1F.
- 27Prepare for a difficult boss fight against Captain Jack. The strategy involves charming him while dealing as much damage as possible, ideally with demons that reflect Gun attacks.
