Guide to Lost Judgment's Chapter 8: Phantom of Ijincho. Investigate Sawa's murder scene, explore Seiryo High, and confront Soma in this detailed walkthrough.

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 8 of Lost Judgment, titled 'Phantom of Ijincho.' Even with the heavy stuff going on, you're still a detective, so we need to gather every last bit of information.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Investigate Sawa's Apartment: You'll start by examining Sawa's body. Check her face, chest, and neck for clues. Then, look at the bloodstain near her head. This will lead you to a yearbook on the bookshelf. Make sure to choose to take the yearbook. Finally, examine the door chain on her front door.
  2. 2
    Head to Seiryo High: After a few cutscenes, you'll find yourself at Seiryo High. Speak briefly with Amasawa, then make your way up to the Chairman's office. After that conversation, head down to Class 2-2 to check on the students, and then it's time to leave the school.
  3. 3
    School Stories and Yokohama 99: Once you're back in Yokohama 99, check in with Tsukumo. You'll discuss RK's real motive: finding Kuwana. Kaito managed to track down Kuwana's place by asking around at local bars. Your next objective is to head to the location marked on your map.
  4. 4
    Infiltrate Kuwana's Hideout: To get inside, step over the low rail in front of the staircase leading up to the door. Once you're in, take a good look around the place. You'll want to pay special attention to the very clean ashtray on his desk and the pack of cigarettes on his futon. Check inside the cigarette pack to find a USB stick. Grab it, and then it's time to make your exit.
  5. 5
    Street Fight: As soon as you step outside, you'll run into some RK thugs. Time to knock them around! There are eight of them, and one is a bit tougher with more health, but none of them throw any new moves at you. After the fight, a nearby couple will mention that Kuwana was first brought into town via a bar in Chinatown.
  6. 6
    Confront Soma at Siren: Head to the marked spot in Chinatown to find the bar 'Siren.' It'll be empty when you arrive, but approach the phone. Suddenly, Soma shows up!

Boss Fight: Soma

  • Warning: Soma wields a knife that inflicts the Bleeding status. Keep an eye on your health and be ready to heal up quickly.
  • Soma is fast and evasive. He can also dodge your attacks and counter, so it's often better to react to his moves rather than rush in.
  • Watch out for his deceptive attacks; some start with a fade or a short lunge before the actual strike.
  • If you can manage to avoid his hits and keep your distance when needed, you'll be able to wear him down. Defeating him concludes this chapter.
Tips
  • After leaving Seiryo High, you're free to explore and wrap up any unfinished School Stories. Most progression blockers are now gone, so you can complete everything except for the Biker Gang (which requires nighttime) and the MRC, which is the game's finale.
  • Remember to grab that USB stick from the cigarette pack in Kuwana's place – it's crucial!
