Parade Route

	Objectives
1	Pursue other leads or wait until Takemura is ready. Depending on your progress through the other two quest lines you may need to advance the story before Takemura will give you a call. If you've completed them, Takemura should contact you within a day.
2	Enlarge Go to the bazaar in Japantown. Once Takemura contacts you, head back to the bazaar from the previous quest and talk to him. Take the shard and view the data, then wait for the parade to start.
3	Enlarge Neutralize the snipers. Follow the marker and get going to the snipers' locations. Weave through the parade watchers and go through the door when you come to it. Watch out for the mine as you go in. Go up and take out the first sniper then move on.
4	Enlarge Reach the second sniper. Get on the elevator and take it to the 21st floor. Climb up the ladder and jump across the gap. Be careful of the drones on your way down as they will notice you fast. Make your way down to the bottom and enter the door, then take out sniper number 2.
5	Reach the third sniper. Go through the next door but be careful of the mine immediately in front of you. Go up the stairs but be careful of Arasaka agents along the way. Reach the balcony and cross the bridge to the other side, but wait for the floats to pass or you'll get burned to death. Make your way up to the elevator and take it to the 24th floor. Keep going up and enter the area with the final sniper, but watch out for mines on the ground. Take out the sniper.
6	Enlarge Reach the netrunner.→Defeat Oda. Go through the door on the otherside of the bridge and make your way down to the unfinished apartment through the elevator. Pull out her link to the net. You will be immediately attacked by Oda. Once defeated, jack into the access point and deactivate the security systems.

Tips and Strategies

How to Beat Oda

Depending on your playstyle, this fight can be a bit annoying. Oda has fairly high resistances and will heal himself after you deal enough damage. If you're the hacking type, lower his resistances and the amount of RAM Quickhacks take with Breach Protocol, then smack him with some Quickhacks when you have the RAM for it.

Oni Mask

Oda's Oni Mask disrupts bullets from smart weapons, but can be destroyed by attacking it or using the Cyberware Malfunction quickhack. Alternatively, if you lose his attention and do a stealth takedown on him it will instantly destroy the mask.

Use Headshots or Melee Weapons

Hit him with your strongest weapons; headshots are fairly easy to land on him as he darts towards you so unload what you can and fast-swinging melee weapons such as a katana can lower his HP quickly.

Invisible Healing

Try to keep an eye on his movements, as when he goes invisible he'll be harder to track and can heal a good amount of his HP at this time. Don't let up and he will eventually go down.

Quickhacks

There are certain quickhacks that are extra useful in this battle.

• Weapon Glitch is useful for his SMG attack as it inhibits his homing bullets.
• Cyberware Malfunction instantly destroys the Oni Mask.
• Detonate Grenade detonates the one grenade Oda has on his person.
• Friendly Mode on the cameras allow you to track Oda as he goes invisible.
