Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Harumi Warehouse, hit the switch to open the door and descend the ladder into the Great Ginza Underpass.
  2. 2
    Follow the man who runs from you. He will meet another man, and they will flee to warn their village about you.
  3. 3
    Continue following them to their village.
  4. 4
    Upon entering, the villagers (Manekata) will react fearfully, mistaking you for a demon from the Mantra Army. An elder will discern you are not a threat.
  5. 5
    Speak with the elder Manekata. He explains that the Manekata are slaves of the demons in the Mantra Army who fled their base. They were created as 'surrogate humans' to provide Magatsuhi to demons, and many serve demons in Ikebukuro. Gozu-Tenno is the boss of the Mantra Army.
  6. 6
    Visit the store in the Underpass. You will meet the Flamboyantly Gay Manekata, who will handle most shop business. Here you can purchase the Ankh Magatama (if not obtained from Pixie), Hifumi Magatama, and Kamudo Magatama.
  7. 7
    You cannot proceed further into the Ginza tunnel due to a guard. On the lower floor at the west end of the village, find the junk collector Manekata.
  8. 8
    The junk collector will offer to get you past the guard in exchange for a 'note' (human currency) for his collection.
  9. 9
    Return to Ginza and ask Loki in the bar about Notes. He will offer his stash for 20 million Makka.
  10. 10
    Ignore Loki and go the back way to find a treasure box containing a 1000-yen bill (human currency).
  11. 11
    Upon leaving the room with the treasure, you will encounter Troll, who has returned. You must fight him.
