Navigate Part 36 of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Learn how to pacify Jack's Squad, solve teleport mazes, and make crucial alignment choices.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You start on Grus 1F. Ignore the space manipulation device for now, as an angel won't let you use it. This floor is filled with illusions that might be walls or open passages; if they don't open when you approach, they're just walls.
  2. 2
    You can explore to find a portal in the northwest. If you have Gate Search E (from the Ame no Uzume EX Mission), you can open it to find the rare Forma [Cornucopia]. This Forma will later become [Unlock E] Main App back at the Red Sprite's lab.
  3. 3
    Near this portal, you might find a Strike Team member's corpse containing a black box, which is important if you're on the Black Box Retrieval II EX Mission.
  4. 4
    In the northeast, another portal requires Gate Search E and hides a [Bead of Life x1].
  5. 5
    Continue exploring until you meet Mastema. After a scene, you'll be called back to the Red Sprite.
  6. 6
    A new main mission, 'Pacify Jack's Squad,' will be added. Your choices during dialogue with Jimenez and Zelenin will affect your alignment:
  7. 7
    When asked if you're ready, choose 'Let's lock and load' for Chaos or 'We should wait and see' for Neutral.
  8. 8
    When asked by the main character's last name, choose 'All right' for Law or 'Out of the question' for Neutral.
  9. 9
    If you obtained the Cornucopia, it will become the [Unlock E] Main App. Remember, Unlock E only opens E-type locked doors, not all portals.
  10. 10
    Return to Grus and use the space manipulation device near the entrance to Phase Shift. The angel will now allow it.
  11. 11
    In the Phase Shifted area, navigate a teleport maze. Find the terminal and Heal Spot, then take the teleport located south of the Heal Spot.
  12. 12
    If you are Law aligned, a path north leads to a room with a [Ma Incense x1]. Otherwise, head north from your entry point to teleport elsewhere.
  13. 13
    Follow the path: go south until a wall, then east two tiles, south two tiles, then west to loop around to a door. Inside, grab [Mahama Stone x2].
  14. 14
    Return to your entry point in this area. Go south to the wall, east to the wall, north to the wall, then east again. Explore until you find another teleport. (Note: If you encounter an angel blocking a door here, it's New Game+ content and can be ignored for now.)
  15. 15
    Continue following the path, but avoid a northern dead end, which will teleport you back to the terminal and Heal Spot, forcing you to backtrack.
  16. 16
    You'll encounter Mastema again. Make your choices during this scene, which can affect your alignment:
  17. 17
    When asked about his rebirth, choose 'It's beautiful' for Law, 'It's awe-inspiring' for Neutral, or 'No problems here' for Chaos.
  18. 18
    Use the teleport you were previously told to avoid to exit this area.
  19. 19
    Return to the Red Sprite. After a scene, head to Jack's Squad HQ.
  20. 20
    Go to the Lightning in Jack's Squad HQ for another scene. The 'Pacify Jack's Squad' mission will be completed.
  21. 21
    Jimenez will give you the [Giant's Fang] rare Forma. Take it to the lab to upgrade your Phase Shifter to [Phase Shifter B].
  22. 22
    This upgrade allows access to new areas. In Grus, use the space manipulation device and Phase Shift to Area B.
  23. 23
    Explore Area B, which also features a teleport maze. After the first teleport, you can take the right teleporter for [Mamudo Stone x2] or the left to continue.
  24. 24
    At the left teleporter, there's only one path forward. After teleporting, take the first left and enter the door on the left.
  25. 25
    In this room, you can talk to Grendel about Maya. Your response can cause a minor alignment shift:
  26. 26
    Choose 'Sure' for Chaos, 'I refuse' for Law, or 'Let me think' for Neutral. This choice doesn't affect your progression.
  27. 27
    Grendel will tell you to return to the ship to talk things out.
  28. 28
    Doors west and north of Grendel's room require Chaos alignment and specific items to open, leading to [St Incense x1] and [Megido Stone x1] respectively.
  29. 29
    Use the teleport near Grendel's room to return to the terminal area. You'll meet Jimenez for a brief scene.
  30. 30
    Return to the sector entrance for a scene with Zelenin, presenting another choice that affects alignment but not progression:
  31. 31
    Choose 'By all means, sing' for Law, 'That won't be necessary' for Chaos, or 'Let me think' for Neutral.
  32. 32
    Return to the Red Sprite. You'll need to make a decision about how to lower the barrier to reach Maya, and these choices will impact your alignment.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the illusions on Grus 1F; if they don't open, they're just walls.
  • The [Unlock E] Main App is crucial for specific E-type locked doors, so don't expect it to open every portal.
  • Be mindful of your alignment choices during dialogue; they can steer you towards Law, Neutral, or Chaos paths.
  • The teleport mazes can be tricky; carefully follow the directions to avoid backtracking.
  • The [Giant's Fang] Forma is key to upgrading your Phase Shifter, opening up new exploration opportunities.
  • Mission 'Pacify Jack's Squad' completed.
  • [Giant's Fang] rare Forma obtained.
  • Phase Shifter upgraded to [Phase Shifter B].
