Tips

When distributing points for the main character (MC), do not put points into Magic unless you plan to use his best armor, which requires Magic at 10. If you want to equip all pieces of the Masakado armor set, aim for Magic at 8. This set is available late game or post-game. For general stats, focus on Strength, Endurance, and Agility. High Agility can allow you to outspeed regular bosses and enemies. You can add points to Intelligence to resist magic, but it is not strictly necessary. Luck can be useful for avoiding status effects.
For Nemissa's point distribution, avoid putting points into Strength unless you intend to use her best armor, which requires 12 Strength (8 minimum). For general stats, invest in Magic for increased magic damage, magic accuracy, and MP. Intelligence also boosts magic accuracy and MP. Agility helps with speed and dodging, while Endurance increases HP and Defense. Her best armor requires 12 in Strength, Intelligence, Endurance, and Agility, and can be obtained early through the Casino or a Dream Ticket. Alternatively, you can fuse Suzaku at MC level 56 (near the end of the game) and use Mystic Change.
When talking to demons, you can only recruit them if they have a smiley face, which depends on your level or having the necessary Apps (like Dark Man for Dark Demons). You can still talk to them to negotiate and receive an item even if you cannot recruit them.
Talking to demons during a Full Moon is risky and may not be worth the potential wipe, even with the Moon Adult App.
The usual exchange rate for recruiting demons is Magnetite (MAG) equal to the demon's level x 10, and Yen equal to the demon's level x 100. Sometimes negotiations fail even with the correct payment.
The Healing Space in Algon Soft NS uses Magnetite to heal. You should not experience Magnetite shortages if you engage in fights.

Part 3

Walkthrough

1
Summoner Carol J Boss Fight: The enemies are Preta (x2), Ippon-Datara, and Padlock. Focus on destroying the Preta first, then Ippon-Datara and Padlock. Your MC should attack, Nemissa can use magic and heal, and other demons can support. Consider using a demon like Knocker to cast Tarunda to lower enemy attack.
2
Post-Fight and Goumaden: After the fight, you will be tasked to go to the Goumaden, located northwest of the HQ. Follow the path north, west, north, and then east. You will obtain the Da Vinci App and learn about COMP Fusion. After these events, you can shop at the Shibihama Core. Remember to check shops after dungeons as stock often updates.
3
Summoner Net and Warehouse District: Head back to the South Parking Garage to receive news from the Summoner Net about the Sea Ark (currently unavailable for use). Exit Shibihama and head to the Warehouse District at Amami Bay. To reach it, go north and take the first east path.
4
Warehouse District Objectives: Upon entering, you may see Six and Yu-Ichi. Head to the middle warehouse to trigger a conversation. You need to obtain a passcode and insulated clothes. The dialogue choices for these items do not matter.
5
Warehouse 1: From the entrance, go north. In the fourth room to the left, you will find a chest containing the Jaber Foot. Proceed through the door to the north for an event and one of the required items.
6
Warehouse 3: From the entrance, go north. In the third room to the right, you can find a Dis-Poison. Proceed through the door to the north for an event and the other required item.
7
Warehouse 2 (1F): Equip the Insulated Clothes. Head north to the middle room for a conversation. Then, take an elevator on either side to B1F.
8
Warehouse 2 (B1F): Your destination is the elevator in the northeast corner. Take it to B2F.
9
Warehouse 2 (B2F): You will find a Healing Space and Terminal nearby. Follow the path, avoiding the south path at the first intersection (it's a frozen door). At the second intersection, go south through a passage to find a chest with 400 Magnetite. Continue west, ignoring the next south entrance, and follow the path to another intersection. Go south and follow the path to an elevator. Take it to B3F.
10
Warehouse 2 (B3F): Head north to initiate the boss fight against Zoma Gargantua Zero.
11
Zoma Gargantua Zero Boss Fight: This boss uses Ice-elemental attacks like Aeon Rain. Equip Insulated Clothes and use Ice demons (like Penanggal). Focus on attacks that are not Ice-elemental. The boss has low HP but high defense. Be cautious when it runs out of MP, as it will resort to physical attacks.
12
Post-Boss Exploration: After defeating Zoma Gargantua Zero, go through the previously frozen yellow doors. From the B3F elevator, take it to B1F, then go north to another elevator to 1F. At 1F, take the western elevator to B1F.
13
Warehouse 2 (B1F - Post-Boss): Head south from the elevator. You can go west or south then east. The western path leads to a chest with a Chakra Pot and 200 Magnetite. The eastern path leads to a chest with a Butterfly Knife and Lu Incense. After collecting these items, head to B2F via the elevator in the northeast corner.
14
Warehouse 2 (B2F - Post-Boss): At B2F, go through the south door at the first intersection. Follow the path to a chest containing In Incense.
15
Return and Next Steps: Make your way back to 1F and go through the door that was previously frozen to finish the dungeon. On the World Map, you will receive a call. Head back to HQ for your next destination. You will also gain access to the Sea Ark, which can be used for obtaining demons and grinding. Finally, return to the Goumaden to give Victor the doll, enabling Zoma Fusion.

Tips:

Always check shops after clearing dungeons, as their stock typically updates.
The O.E.A. (obtained by fighting battles and not negotiating or running) is a good way to earn Magnetite.
The Zoma Fusion allows you to fuse demons into the Zoma to increase its level and stats, inheriting skills from the fused demons. The Zoma changes forms based on the demon race fused and has no summoning or maintenance cost. Be mindful of its
