Yoyogi Park
Yoyogi Park Walkthrough
1 | Leave a medical center for a cutscene. The world map is different due to conception. |
---|---|
2 | Move west and pass by the first city. |
3 | Go south and get in between the second city and the west entrance of Yoyogi Park. The entrance has a red marker. |
4 | Enter the park and watch another cutscene with Pixie. |
5 | We recommended keeping her in your party in order to unlock a special area later in the game. If you let her go, you will acquire the Ankh Magatama immediately but it can be purchased later on from shops. Should you part with Pixie? |
6 | After the cutscene, enter the park. Go forward and examine the floating cube (Chakra Drop x1). |
7 | Go west (compass: north) and reach the end. Enter the door to find another floating cube (Dis-Poison x1). |
8 | Leave the area and head to the other side. Go south (compass: south) and enter the door at the end. Inside the area, acquire the item from a floating cube (Life Stone x2). |
9 | Enter the door with a green mark and it will lead you to the Fountain of Life. This facility can heal, revive, and cure status and mental ailments. Unlike healing rooms and healing spirits, you need to pay Macca for this service. |
10 | Once you’re finished leave the park and head to Shibuya. |
Yoyogi Park Dialogue Choices
Here is a breakdown of dialogue choices for each conversation event in this area:
All Reason Endings | True Demon Ending |

Recommended Demons to Recruit
Enemy | Level | Demon Race | Weaknesses |

1 | Return to the world map and go south. Go to the middle of the third city to enter. |
---|---|
2 | To enter the underground mall, head to the nearby subway entrance. |
3 | There are many facilities accessible at the underground mall such as the Fountain of Life (green-marked door), Junk Shop (pink-marked door), Cathedral of Shadows (light purple-marked door), and Terminal (red-marked door). |
4 | Go east (compass: north) to find the Junk Shop. The shop sells two Magatamas such as the Iyomante and Shiranui. We recommend buying Shiranui Magatama to access fire attribute skills. Make sure to level Shiranui to level 9 to gain access to the “Fire Breath” skill. |
5 | Head south (compass: west) to find the Cathedral of Shadows. This is facility helps you fuse for new demons. For now, you don’t need to worry about it right now. (Optional: You can fuse Kodama and Shikigami to acquire Jack Frost. This demon gives you access to Bufu or ice skills. Also, you can import skills like Zan, Zio, and Tarunda to add more utility to this demon. Don’t worry about losing demons in your stock. Once the Demonic Compendium feature is unlocked how in Ikebukuro, you can see you previously acquired demons already registered) |
6 | Leave and go to the Terminal room. Just go straight north (compass: south) and SAVE your game. After that, enter the next room on your right and acquire an item from a chest (Life Stone x1). |

“west branch (compass: east)” NO that is not how compasses work it should be “left branch (east)”. I don’t know how you made the worst choice for these directions.
Can you make it even more confusing with saying “go west, oh, but the compass actually points east.” srsly, pls just stick with the compass directions. lol
note to others, you cant recruit anything in Amala network by talking to them, I wasted too much time on this lol
