Return to Kikuchiba – Upper-Level Construction Site

Scarlet Nexus - Kikuchiba - Upper-Level Construction Site

1 After taking the quest, leave the area and transfer back to Kikuchiba – Upper-Level Construction Site.
2 From the starting zone, move forward and look for Vase Paws enemies to defeat. If there are other types of enemies focus on them first to get less distraction.
3 You can damage them from the ground before launching them mid-air using □/x + x/a.
4 You can make use of SAS Electrokinesis to damage them while mid-air. Do not use Brain Crush to finish them off since it will not count.
5 If you cannot land the last hit, you can remove Shiden and Gemma from your active party and still use their SAS abilities. You can also set the tactics of both to target other enemies by pressing the △/y in your party screen menu.
