الوسم: RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army

As the events unfold in episode five of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, Munakata clearly thinks he can just walk away, leaving you to face two of his strongest allies, Abihiko and Nagasunehiko. He reveals his secrets and casually strolls off, putting Raidou Kuzunoha XIV and his demons up against these two sibling shikigami.

This boss fight against Abihiko and Nagasunehiko is intense, with both brothers eager to take you down. Having a balanced set of elemental magic and knowing which sibling to target with each type of magic makes all the difference!

Abihiko and Nagasunehiko’s Location and Weaknesses

Where to Find Nagasunehiko and Abihiko

The adventure continues in chapter five of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army as you infiltrate a hidden Subterranean Shipping Facility near Harumi-cho on the eastern edge of the Capitol. You can access it by navigating on Big Tarrasque and entering a code provided by one of Tae’s contacts, Sadakichi.

Venture to the lowest floor, encountering numerous elemental Nethergates on your way. You’ll need to persuade an Ippon-Datara to help dispel one of them. Once you’re ready, head towards the bottom floor where you’ll witness a scene involving Kaya and Munakata, followed by a challenging battle as the general wraps up his monologue.

Abihiko’s Weaknesses

Nagasunehiko’s Weaknesses

Best Demons for the Battle with Abihiko and Nagasunehiko

Since each brother is vulnerable to opposing elements, you’ll need to strategize your attacks carefully. Abihiko is weak to Cryo magic, so bring Frost Order demons to the battle, while Nagasunehiko is susceptible to Pyro magic, necessitating Pyro Order demons.

However, be mindful that both brothers wield elemental damage as well, putting your Frost and Pyro Order demons at risk during the fight. Gouto frequently advises you to “protect your demons” as strong attacks come your way, especially since the brothers can unleash a devastating combo once their health drops to a critical level. Therefore, ensure your demons have solid Magic and Vitality stats.

To counter this, consider having Raidou use Frost Sigil and Pyro Sigil, which you learned in the game’s first chapter. These skills can help mitigate damage to your demons with conflicting weaknesses in combat.

Additionally, it’s wise to carry demons with healing magic, especially in tough boss fights. While the brothers are manageable, their combined attacks can inflict serious damage. Prioritize healing items and demons capable of healing during battle in case of emergencies.

How to Defeat Nagasunehiko and Abihiko

When the battle kicks off, ensure you have Frost and Pyro Order demons ready to exploit each brother’s elemental vulnerabilities, making it easier to stagger them during the fight. Abihiko and Nagasunehiko are formidable adversaries, so even your strongest demons may struggle. As they each wield powerful magic, stay focused on targeting their fire and ice weaknesses.

If you’re not using Raidou’s Summoner Skills for elemental damage, issue commands to your demons to ensure they’re attacking the correct brother. Abihiko resists fire, while Nagasunehiko is less affected by ice, so avoid wasting your MAG on the wrong one.

Both brothers will occasionally perform a powerful spinning attack called Amatobi. You’ll hear some dialogue before this, giving you a heads-up. They will then embrace and spin wildly across the battlefield, targeting Raidou.

When you see this attack coming, dive out of the way, as it deals Almighty damage that can’t be blocked like regular elemental attacks.

The Amatobi attack starts with a wide range but narrows as time passes, increasing your chances of getting hit. During this attack, you can’t damage the brothers. It’s best to go on the defensive, pulling your demons back to keep them safe while waiting for the attack to conclude. Once they separate, continue the fight as before.

Stick to the strategy of dealing elemental damage to crit and stagger the brothers, then follow up with powerful sword combos while keeping an eye out for opportunities to use Devil’s Bane.

If one brother falls first, the surviving sibling will inherit their abilities, significantly increasing the challenge of the last stage of the battle. You’ll hear a brief speech about revenge from the remaining brother, who will then ramp up the offense considerably.

While the surviving brother gains the other’s magic attacks, they still retain their elemental weaknesses. For instance, if you defeat Nagasunehiko first, Abihiko will gain his ice magic but remain weak to Pyro moves and can no longer perform Amatobi on his own.

To minimize the fight time with a boosted sibling, try to take down both brothers as close together as possible, distributing your damage evenly. The chapter concludes once the fight is over, so ensure to save Kaya Daidouiji and save your game before proceeding to episode six.

In Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, it’s often Raidou Kuzunoha XIV’s job to rescue Tae Asakura whenever she goes missing. In Episode Five, she guides you to Kasumidai, the heart of government activities in the country, filled with soldiers and secrets.

Your mission requires you to search for several missing pages of an important document in the Dark Realm version of Kasumidai, all while trying to locate and save Kaya Daidouji. But brace yourself, as the story takes unexpected twists as you delve into the government’s shady operations during this imagined Taisho era.

Solve the Missing Pages Puzzle in Dark Kasumidai

After a scene at the Narumi Detective Agency, accompany Tae to Kasumidai using the streetcar to follow a lead on Kaya Daidouji. Once you arrive, take some time to explore, but your main priority should be finding a soldier with a mole on his face, who is an informant Tae is seeking. He’s rumored to be located in the northern part near the Guard Box, but you’ll encounter soldiers blocking your path.

To proceed, you’ll need to distract the guards near the entrance, as Raidou needs a way to search for clues. Keep an eye out for useful items hidden throughout Kasumidai’s expansive map that can enhance your gameplay in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. Once you’ve gathered what you can, ask the soldiers near the left building for a hint.

They’ll mention that guard shifts change with the cannon’s shot, which is the very cannon you passed on your way with Tae. You’ll need to have a Pyro Order demon use Ignite on the cannon to trigger the guard shift, allowing Raidou to sneak closer to the Guard Box. Speak to the soldier you find there, then return to Tae. Make sure to interact with the item on the ground in this now-empty area to retrieve Tae’s camera.

Gouto recommends you visit Kounno-ya to get help developing the film for clues, so take the streetcar to Kounno-ya to speak with the elderly owner. He’s willing to assist but will charge you ¥3,000. If you’re short on cash, sell some items from the shop menu, and then pay for the film development. It’ll be revealed that Tae is in the Dark Realm, so head back to the Nameless Shrine to perform the Ritual of Entry and access Dark Kasumidai in search of Tae.

In the Dark Kasumidai, you’ll meet Sadakichi, the soldier with a mole, who is standing by an unconscious Tae. He mentions he is missing some pages of a document he wanted to share with Tae to expose the government’s activities at Kasumidai, but the pages are lost. Now, it’s up to Raidou to search the area for eight missing pages.

You can get assistance from two zombie officers: the one on the left will provide hints about pages five through eight, while the one on the right covers the first four pages. Additionally, a nearby demon skull can indicate how many pages you still need to find. Once you get the locations, head to the marked spots on the map to investigate and find the pages.

All Missing Page Locations in Dark Kasumidai in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army

Once you collect all the pages, talk to Sadakichi in the center of the area, but remember to save your game first, as you’ll soon face a mini-boss battle against Nebiros. After defeating the mini-boss, find out your next target: Cannon Battery Number Four, located not far from the port in Harumi-cho. Make note of the code Sadakichi gives you—49399221—since you’ll need it shortly.

Infiltrate the Shipping Center to Rescue Kaya Daidouji

You might be tempted to summon Big Tarrasque from a dock in Kasumidai, but military blockades will prevent that. Instead, take the streetcar to Harumi-cho, where you can summon Big Tarrasque from the port, just as you did in the last episode. Then, head south to locate a small island with Cannon Battery Number Four.

When you arrive, enter Sadakichi’s code (49399221) into the telephone booth to gain access to the Subterranean Shipping Facility. As you navigate through the basement, be prepared to confront Fire, Ice, and Electric Nethergates. You can battle or confine any new demons you find in this area, but beware—the Volt Nethergate regenerates. To find the demon creating this barrier, take the nearby stairs.

To persuade this clumsy Ippon-Datara to remove the regeneration feature from the Volt Nethergate, you’ll need to negotiate with Ippon-Datara, just like you did with Big Tarrasque in a previous encounter in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Here’s how the negotiation goes:

• Offer the item or cash that Ippon-Datara requests.
• Agree to provide the second item or cash amount as well.
• Finally, select “You’re stupid” when prompted.

Once the demon agrees to break the barrier, return a level up to where the regenerating Nethergate once stood. Now, take the ladder on the other side that was previously inaccessible. Here, you’ll find additional Nethergates, but these require you to disspell three individual Bullet Nethergates one at a time. Have your demons ready and aim at the Nethergate faces to clear each one.

Rasputin has been a persistent challenge throughout every episode of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, and now, at the conclusion of chapter four, it’s time for a showdown. Make your way to the Catholic church in Harumi-cho with the aid of Big Tarrasque and locate Elfman to kick off this pivotal battle.

As you prepare for this boss fight against Rasputin and his army of mechanized matryoshka dolls, equip yourself with powerful Volt Order demons to ensure you’re ready to endure his attacks.

Monk Rasputin: Location and Affinities

How to Find Rasputin

Your encounter with Rasputin will unfold at the end of Episode Four in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. After rescuing the missing sailors in Dark Harumi-cho, speaking with the Ryugu owner, and enlisting Big Tarrasque from Daidouji Manor’s basement, you’re ready for the next step.

Return to the port in Harumi-cho and sail to the Catholic church north of town on Big Tarrasque. Locate Elfman’s spirit in the Foreigner’s Cemetery, and then head back to the ruins of the Catholic Church. An outside Dragon’s Fount offers a chance to save your game before the confrontation, so take advantage of that or visit the Goumaden to prepare your best demons for the Rasputin battle. Once you open the church door, be prepared for the fight that follows a cutscene with Rasputin.

Rasputin Affinities in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army

Best Demons for the Rasputin Battle in Episode Four

The matryoshka dolls are not as threatening as Rasputin himself, so highlight his weakness to Electric magic and consider bringing your strongest Volt Order demons.

Another tactic is to equip Volt Sigil through Raidou’s Summoner Skills. If you’ve been actively working on your Sword Alchemy at the Goumaden, you should have a variety of new Combat Skills and Sword Skills available, so make sure to set up Raidou’s skills before the battle.

Expect to take some considerable damage during the later stages of the fight against Rasputin, as one of his final moves will deal Almighty damage—an attack type that you can’t defend against. This means Raidou and the other demons will likely take hits, so it’s wise to include a healing demon with support skills like Dia or Diarama.

How to Defeat Rasputin and His Matryoshka Dolls

The battle begins right after a cutscene featuring Rasputin. He’s been a looming threat throughout the story, and now he’s here, not to mention the matryoshka dolls he summons into battle. One of Rasputin’s most dangerous abilities is his power to call forth massive matryoshka dolls that will instantly attack Raidou Kuzunoha XIV.

When these dolls come forth, Rasputin leaps into one of them. While dealing with the dolls is crucial, your main focus should be on attacking the specific doll Rasputin occupies. The dolls will move around the battlefield, similar to the classic matryoshka puzzlers, but ensure you concentrate your efforts on the doll containing Rasputin. Once you deplete this doll’s health, Rasputin will be knocked out.

When that happens, unleash your Volt Order demons if you haven’t already; Rasputin is vulnerable to electric magic. Keep in mind that electric attacks might even stun enemies, so have Raidou and his demons unleash the electric magic while Rasputin is defenseless. He’ll also be summoning the dolls to attack again, which adds an extra level of complexity to this boss fight in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

After Rasputin loses about half of his health, he will unleash his trump card: Megido, an attack dealing Almighty damage to nearby enemies that cannot be defended against. This is an excellent moment to switch to ranged attacks, allowing you to maintain distance from Rasputin and avoid this devastating move.

Additionally, he has another overwhelming attack called Trailing Death, which lets him swiftly close gaps and can inflict significant damage on both Raidou and his demons. Luckily, Rasputin often announces this move with a sassy line beforehand.

This battle requires both offense and defense, so keep a close watch on your health. Be ready to summon new demons if your current companions fall. You can heal and revive using items from the inventory menu during the battle as long as Raidou still has health, so act quickly and stay alert. Maintain this dynamic while putting pressure on Rasputin’s health to wrap up this boss fight, uncover crucial secrets, and complete Episode Four of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Chapter three of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army has been quite a ride, leading up to an epic showdown at Daidouji Factory against the enigmatic Dark Summoner, Rasputin. He summons a powerful demon to battle on his behalf, leaving Raidou and his companions to fight for survival.

The concluding boss fight with Chernobog can be particularly challenging if you’re not ready, but our guide will provide all the information you need to tackle this fierce enemy effectively.

Chernobog: Location and Affinities

As you navigate the third chapter of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, you’ll make your way through a maze inside Daidouji Factory. Along the way, you’ll need to rescue trapped workers and battle terrifying snake demons while collecting three shards to unlock the main door back at the factory.

Before returning to Daidouji Factory, consider backtracking to the central area of the puzzle. You can do this by interacting with one of the matryoshka dolls located between the two rows of three. This area is near a Dragon’s Fount, which allows you to save your progress and head to the Goumaden for fusion and recording of new demons, including Nakisawame’s Tears. This item allows you to heal Raidou and his companions back to full health without any cost.

While you’re at the Goumaden, think about which demons you want to bring into the Chernobog boss fight in chapter three. It’s essential to check Chernobog’s affinity chart to make informed decisions.

Chernobog Affinity Chart

Since Chernobog is weak against Pyro Order magic, attacking it this way can be tricky. Many of your strongest Pyro Order familiars have their own weakness to ice, which Chernobog exploits during the fight. To counteract Chernobog’s heavy ice attacks, consider using a Cryo Order demon during this encounter.

Cryo Order shikigami can typically neutralize Cryo Order magic attacks, which makes many of Chernobog’s strongest moves ineffective against them. While you may still be affected by status ailments, preventing HP drain is a key strategy. Also, ensure that you have Raidou’s Pyro Skill equipped in your Sword Skills slots on the main menu. Although your Pyro Order demons may take extra damage from Chernobog’s ice attacks, Raidou himself will not.

How to Defeat Chernobog

After you’ve completed the labyrinth puzzle and healed up, return to the main area of Daidouji Factory. Use the crystals you collected to unlock the door at the back of the matryoshka puzzle. Inside, a cutscene with Kiyoshi Daidouji and Rasputin unfolds, where Rasputin, fatigued from Raidou’s pursuit, summons a Chernobog demon for you to fight before escaping.

The Chernobog battle might take some time, as the real Chernobog will initially refrain from fighting directly. Instead, it summons copies of itself with lower HP to test your skills against Raidou Kuzunoha XIV and his companions. You will have to battle eight fake Chernobog copies at the start. Although these copies can use powerful ice magic, they only have the three-way spread version, allowing you to dodge as Raidou to counterattack with your sword magic.

The fake Chernobogs attack Raidou in waves. In the first wave, you’ll face two copies, followed by two more waves, each comprising three fakes. You’ll need to defeat all eight before the final confrontation with Chernobog.

Once you’ve managed to outsmart the eight fakes, the real Chernobog will join the fight, and this portion is more challenging. Unlike the fake versions, the real one wields powerful ice magic, including Mabufudyne, which deals substantial ice damage over a wider area. Expect this boss to have triple the HP of its copies.

If you’re having difficulties tackling the real Chernobog with your Pyro Order demons, given their shared weaknesses, consider switching to a different demon type to conserve health. With the Pyro Skill equipped on Raidou for this fight, you can alternate between offensive moves with your demons while using Raidou’s attacks to exploit Chernobog’s fire magic susceptibility.

If your demons can withstand ice while still landing strong physical attacks, Raidou can exploit Chernobog’s weakness to fire magic with his Pyro Skill. This strategy allows your demons to join in and inflict physical damage, ultimately leading to the defeat of Chernobog in the third chapter of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Your first major boss battle in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army occurs at Daidouji Manor, where you’ll face off against the formidable swordsman, Ichimokuren. You’re still in the dark about the bigger mystery, but it’s time for some action!

Returning to Daidouji Manor after your adventure in the Dark version of Tsukudo-cho will trigger this encounter. Be sure to have your strongest demons ready as you prepare to delve deeper into the Daidouji family saga.

Ichimokuren: Location and Affinities

After uncovering the secret hidden in the basement of the Daidouji residence, you’ll also have to face a challenging battle against the Gashadokuro and its allies. Once you’ve triumphed, make sure to heal up using available items or at the Goumaden, which you can access via Dragon’s Fount near the basement entrance.

Next, head back to the Narumi Detective Agency for a brief conversation, and then prepare to revisit Daidouji Manor. Before heading back, consider the following preparations for the impending battle:

• Visit Kounno-ya to gather any necessary items. This will keep Raidou Kuzunoha XIV and his companions in good shape and provide plenty of MAG to keep attacking the boss. Stock up on Medicines and Anti-Dizzy items for the fight ahead.
• Go down into the Goumaden to update your Devil Chart with any newly discovered devils and fuse together powerful familiars. Pay special attention to Volt Order Demons for this battle, but you can also begin to fuse your first Elemental Order demons at this stage.

It’s generally wise to have a mix of elemental damage at your disposal, but combining an Elemental Order Demon with an existing Volt Order Demon can help you create a stronger Volt Order demon for this upcoming challenge.

Ichimokuren Affinity Chart

For this duel, we suggest summoning a powerful Volt Order demon like Raiju, which is one of the strongest options available early in the game. Since Ichimokuren will use support demons in combat, having a Pyro Order demon such as Jack-o’-Lantern or Orthrus will be beneficial.

Even though Ichimokuren nullifies fire spells, it’s essential to keep some Pyro Order magic on hand, as the support demons he summons will take damage primarily from fire attacks.

How to Defeat Ichimokuren

Upon arriving at Daidouji Manor, a brief cutscene will play before you’re locked into the battle. Rasputin stands in your way, unwilling to let Raidou pursue Kiyoshi Daidouji, who has recently transformed into the Red Cape. To stop you, he summons the fearsome Ichimokuren.

A crucial point to remember is that you cannot attack Ichimokuren immediately, as it is immune to damage while its eye is closed. At the start of the fight, Ichimokuren will close its eye and summon two Turdak that you must defeat first.

The Turdak are weak to both Force and Pyro, so deploy any demons with fire magic and use Raidou’s swift sword maneuvers. Since you can’t harm Ichimokuren yet, focus on taking down the Turdak first.

Once you defeat the Turdak, Ichimokuren will reopen its eye, allowing you to inflict damage. Utilize Volt Order demons while its eye is open, exploiting its weakness and staggering it, which enables Raidou to land several powerful strikes. Use lighter sword attacks to replenish your MAG as needed, but this is the perfect moment for heavy attacks, as Ichimokuren will not be vulnerable for long.

When Ichimokuren’s eye closes again, it will summon another pair of Turdak before it can be attacked once more. This cycle will repeat until Ichimokuren has about a quarter of its health remaining.

At this stage, it will not only call forth another pair of Turdak but will also switch to offensive tactics. The tentacles become especially dangerous, offering Ichimokuren a significant range. The Tentacle Whip deals physical damage and may inflict Dizzy on Raidou or his allies, so watch everyone’s status closely.

As the battle enters its final phase, where Ichimokuren is actively attacking, you can concentrate on taking it down. You don’t need to finish off the last Turdak pair if Ichimokuren is nearing defeat. Instead, let your demons handle them while you dodge the Tentacle Whip and get up close, using your Volt Skills to exploit its weakness until you secure the win.

After completing your trial to officially become Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery Of The Soulless Army, you’ll dive into the first chapter where your mission is to rescue a kidnapped schoolgirl from the Dark Realm and uncover the curse hidden in the basement of Daidouji Manor.

Venturing into the Dark Realm for the first time is no easy task, but it’s a great chance to capture early-game demons, explore the Goumaden, and get acquainted with various side quests in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery Of The Soulless Army.

Step Into the Dark Realm

Once you step out into 1930s Tokyo after your initial tutorial, you should take time to explore the area and interact with the locals. Your two companions, Alp and Ukobach, will be helpful with their Investigation Skills.

Explore the town after leaving the academy, but make sure to head to the Ushigome-Gaeri Bridge and discuss your recent assignment with your colleague. Use the Ignite ability on them to dig deeper into the case, leading you to Daidouji Manor. Then, hop on the streetcar to reach your destination.

At the manor, you’ll converse with various staff members who will try to prevent you from entering certain rooms. However, you’ll learn how to send a demon on an individual investigation from the menu to check out areas that are off-limits for Raidou. Have Alp check out the study on the first floor to retrieve a photo from a shelf.

There are plenty of hidden treasures to discover by letting your familiars explore extra rooms. They’ll search storage spaces and might uncover useful items, making it worthwhile to check as you go.

After this section of the investigation, head north to Kamishiro-zaka to chat with some schoolgirls at the intersection about their missing friend. Use your Investigation Skills to guide your conversation.

The girls will tell you about Rin’s recent meetings with someone. When you find Rin down an alleyway east of Fujiko Parlor and follow her to a secluded spot, she gets kidnapped and taken into the Dark Realm. It’s now up to Raidou to follow and save her.

Capturing Demons and Leveling Up

Your first trip into the Dark Realm offers much to discover, which can feel overwhelming if you’re new to the game. However, right near the entrance, there are key elements to learn for success in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery Of The Soulless Army.

Key points include:

• Dragon’s Founts allow you to save your game in the Dark Realm and unlock access to the Goumaden as you progress.
• Nakisawame provides free healing for you and your team. Make use of this often!

After saving and healing, you’ll face demons that emerge during your exploration of Dark Tsukudo-cho. A variety of them are lurking about, but initially, you’ll be limited in the number of demons you can capture.

Fortunately, as your level rises, you’ll acquire more tubes, allowing you to use the demons you’ve captured to help grind for experience (EXP). Explore Dark Tsukudo-cho to collect loot, which is typically marked on your map with a small crystal shape. Keep in mind that demons with the Investigate skill can find items while following you.

Feel free to explore and grind to your heart’s content, but be aware of the barrier that blocks your access to the area near Tamonten Shrine, indicating that you’ll need to navigate around through the Karukogawa Shopping District.

In this area, you’ll encounter a trio of Obariyons discussing what it means to be a demon summoner, warning you of a strong demon awaiting you ahead. As you approach the Narumi Detective Agency, the demons will attack, leading to a battle where you can easily win by using Pyro Order.

The Obariyons are vulnerable to Cryo and Wind magic, so summon the appropriate familiars to quickly defeat the waves of enemies. After these fights, continue onward, but tread carefully; your next challenge lies ahead.

Understanding Nethergates

This marks your introduction to Nethergates, which are gates sealed with elemental magic requiring the appropriate magic to break through. For the very first one, you’ll be advised to confine an Agathion before engaging in battle, as this particular Nethergate is weak to Volt Order demons.

With your electric magic attacks ready, challenge the Nethergate, and learn how to break elemental shields during combat. After a battle with the gate’s keepers, you’ll move on to the significant boss fight against Tsuchigumo.

This massive demon, located near the gate by the Tamonten Shrine, will discuss Rin before initiating an epic boss battle, marking your exit from Dark Tsukudo-cho for the first time.

Exploring the Abyss in Daidouji Manor’s Basement

Explore Tsukudo-cho and Capture Your Demons

Once you’ve returned from the Dark Realm to the regular Tsukudo-cho, it’s time to explore the newly unlocked areas. These include:

• The Goumaden – the demon fusion feature, where you can combine demons to enhance Raidou’s powers. Visit Kounno-ya to speak with Victor in the basement, where you can register demons and re-summon them while trying out demon fusions.
• Case Files – optional investigations that often involve solving simple puzzles, giving you various rewards such as skill books, cash, and EXP.
• Aril Rifts – located near Tamonten Shrine; Gouto-Doji will recommend addressing these early on. They provide a great opportunity to grind for EXP in the real world between investigations.

Once you’ve fully explored these options, return to Daidouji Manor and chat with the staff again. Navigate to the left path on the first floor to discover a notable study. Use a demon with Investigate ability to find a hidden switch to access the basement.

Big Tarrasque and Crossing Over

In the basement, you’ll encounter Big Tarrasque, who will request a specific type of alcohol. The staff upstairs informs you that a team member is sent to get the beverage but has yet to return. As a result, head back to Kamishiro-zaka and read the maid’s mind to uncover the situation. Speaking with her reveals you can procure the wine.

Go back to Daidouji Manor, enter the basement, and prepare for a challenging boss fight against Big Tarrasque. The battle will involve leveraging Pyro Order demons for an edge, but it can be difficult without first using the demons outside of Big Tarrasque’s area to grind for EXP.

Once defeated, Big Tarrasque will ask for some Pricey Beer, which you can find in one of the guest rooms on the manor’s second floor. Provide the beverage to Big Tarrasque, and he’ll transport you to the other side of the map in thanks.

Upon reaching the other side, inspect the bookshelf in the cage where you’ll discover Kaya’s Diary hidden within. Read it to learn more about the Daidouji family curse, then return to the living room to converse with Kiyoshi about what you’ve found.

On your way, you’ll encounter demons that were once dolls outside the jail cell, and Gashadokuro will confront you for yet another tough battle. Learning to jump to evade will be crucial for handling this boss fight.

Afterwards, make your way back to the living room to finally discuss the contents of the diary with Kiyoshi and progress in solving the first case in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Welcome to the Dark Realm in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army. Your first journey takes you through the shadowy streets of Dark Tsukudo-cho in chapter one. As you navigate these unsettling paths, take some time to level up since you’ll be facing a tough boss battle soon.

Before you can return to the normal world, you must confront Tsuchigumo, the giant demon in the Dark Realm who has kidnapped a local schoolgirl in a ploy to draw you into combat. Here’s a guide to help you defeat Tsuchigumo and rescue Rin!

How to Defeat Tsuchigumo

Once you’ve fully explored the Dark Tsukudo-cho area in your quest from chapter one, you will face Tsuchigumo after the challenging Nethergate fight, and find Rin unconscious. A brief dialogue occurs before the battle, but Gouto-Doji will interrupt to teach you how to use Devil’s Bane against Tsuchigumo. This can only be done if you:

• Perfectly evade during the fight, a skill Gouto showed you earlier in the Dark Realm.
• Unleash a flurry of attacks to throw the demon off-balance.

When Gouto signals that the time is right, unleash your attack on Tsuchigumo. Be prepared for a tough fight, as you’ll now need to take on two Tsuchigumo demons at once, and without a pre-charged Devil’s Bane.

Tsuchigumo Affinities in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army

Given these vulnerabilities, your best strategy is to use Azumi for offense, as it’s likely your strongest demon with Frost abilities. You’ll have learned how to make Raidou Kuzunoha use his Cryo Sign attack with his sword from Gouto just before engaging in battle, so make sure to utilize it and execute Cryo Sign as frequently as you can.

These Tsuchigumo spiders will put up quite a fight, as you’ll need to break their elemental shields first before you can inflict any damage. Attacking while they still have their shields intact, even with your Cryo spells and Azumi’s help, will deal no damage, so don’t waste any attacks until their shields are down.

Once their shields are offline, you will have a brief window of opportunity where Tsuchigumo is open to your sword strikes. Pay attention to the animation that signals a critical hit and make sure to unleash heavy sword attacks during this time to maximize your damage before the shields regenerate.

After the fight, Tsuchigumo will fall, revealing little information aside from mentioning a devil summoner who appears to speak Russian. Keep this in mind as you earn ¥200 and a good amount of EXP for defeating Tsuchigumo in Dark Tsukudo-cho in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.
