Walkthrough
- 1After recovering Haruka, you'll automatically return to Serena. Reina is gone, and the bar is in disarray. Check the letter on the counter.
- 2As you leave Serena, you'll notice a blood trail. Follow it past Millennium Tower towards the Champion District.
- 3In the Champion District, you'll find some thugs near the west entrance who mention Shinji went to the Hotel District.
- 4Head back to the Hotel District. You'll receive a phone call near the intersection west of Jewel. Shinji is in a building just north of your location, which will be marked on the map.
- 5Enter the building and proceed to the far side of the first floor, then go up the stairs.
- 6On the second floor, you'll encounter enemies. Fight your way through the building, clearing out all enemies. Explore side rooms for potential items.
- 7On the third floor, a man with a large chair will block your path. You can perform the "Essence of Self-Destruct" Heat Action on him.
- 8Continue through the floors, dealing with enemies, many of whom will have guns. Prioritize taking out enemies with firearms.

Boss Fight: Kazuto Arase
- Stats / Weaknesses: Arase has a small health bar (two segments). He is fast and dodges slow attacks. Rush Style is recommended.
- Phases:
- Arase will quickly move around the battlefield, firing his guns. Use Rush Style to close the distance and attack.
- Be prepared to dodge when Arase begins to flip; he will follow up with a side-dive attack.
- When Arase is cornered, he has fewer options. Try to trap him.
- As his health gets low, Arase will use a multi-shot "super" attack with armor. Dodge this attack.
- Strategy: Use Rush Style to quickly attack Arase. Focus on dodging his rapid attacks and his special dive. Try to corner him. When he uses his armored multi-shot attack, evasion is key.
