ASAKUSA WEST:

Navigate the blood-soaked streets of Asakusa West, confront the skin-clad demon Sakahagi, and uncover the secrets of the Obelisk in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster.

Uh-oh...nasty things are afoot here. There's blood everywhere as soon as you enter. Talk to the wounded Manekata, and he'll tell you that Sakahagi did this to him, and that he is on a rampage further into the area. Follow the blood trail to the door with blood splattered all over it and go in.

Inside is a strange Manekata laughing over a victim, saying "if you gave me your Manekata you wouldn't have had to end up like this." He tells the victim that it was foolish for such a weakling to oppose him...but he was able to "get his skin" because he did. The Manekata turns around and notices you. You'll see what he is talking about--he has skinned the faces of all his victims and wears them like a coat. The Manekata gets surprised, but then lets his guard down a bit when he realizes you aren't more Manekata out to stop him. He tells you that the other Manekata themselves are weak, but they is a stronger one about that has been causing him trouble. He wishes this "troublemaker" had been killed in Ikebukuro, but says that since he brought a bunch of weaker friends with him, more Magatsuhi-fresh targets arrived. The Manekata says he's going to gather Magatsuhi and conquer the demons. He notes that you're a demon, and asks if you're after fresh Magatsuhi too. You can either say "I want it" or "I don't want it." What you say has no impact on your alignment or the story, though the Manekata will say "I bet we're gonna be good friends" if you say you do.

The skin-clad Manekata leaves, saying that maybe you'll meet again. He tells you to remember his name--he is Sakahagi, and one day he will rule the demons.

Go back to the terminal and talk to Hijiri, who says he's figured out the Nightmare System. "You've got to see this to believe it" he says and tells you to have a look. What you'll see is a massively tall tower. Hijiri tells you that it's the Obelisk, located in Chiyoda. The Obelisk is the core of the Nightmare System, and the primary location for Nihilo's Magatsuhi collection. In other words, it's the Nihilo's seat of power. Hijiri conjectures that it is probably being run by the Nihilo medium. He doesn't know what they're going to do with it, but it contains an immense amount of power. Hijiri is itching to go himself, but knows he'll be creamed if he tries. However, he says he still can't sit by and give the world to Hikawa, so yet again turns to you for help. Hijiri asks if you could go to the Obelisk, stop the Medium, and return the flow of Magatsuhi back to normal in the Vortex World. Hijiri informs you that you can get to Chiyoda via the back entrace to the Nihilo Organization headquarters. He tells you that once you get there, can use this terminal to crack its lock. Hijiri warns you that it won't be easy to get in, but is sure you can do it.

Go back to Ginza, then leave and go east until you get to the highway ramp in Harumi, near the Harumi Warehouse. However, this time instead of entering the Warehous, you'll want to take the ramp all the way to the west of the Nihilo base and enter the "back door." By the Tokyo Tower in Shiba is a treasure chest with a Succubus in it, too. (She drops a Ruby)
