Before Infiltration
| 1 |  Phantom Thieves now target Akashi With Kumi Katayama successfully detached from the palace, the Phantom Thieves reconvence at the school rooftop to discuss how to deal with theier newest target, Kei Akashi. Riko suggests that she turns herself into bait by aggrevating Akashi enough to target her as the next source of power for the Palace. After the meeting, head straight home at night and rest for the next day. |
| 2 |  Riko Clears Katayama's Name The next day, Riko's plan begins by confronting Akashi and his assistant in the faculty room to clear Katayama's name. The crew meet up again after to discuss the next steps forward After the meeting, head straight home at night and rest for the next day. |
| 3 |  Riko Exposes Akashi's Hiring The following day, Riko makes another move on her plan and exposes how Akashi got into the school board as a consultant in the first place. Afterwards, talk to Riko who can be found in the school hallway about the situation. Afterwards, head straight home at night and rest for the next day. |
| 4 |  Divine Justice Rumors Have Spread You are automatically in the school the morning after, and rumors are afoot about Riko and the Academic Coordinator in the Divine Justice site. Instead of Riko, Akashi has instead targeted Mr. Yamanashi as his new power source. The crew immediately head to the Metaverse to confirm. |
Initial Infiltration
| 1 |  Go to the Dam Entrance Katayama's Palace has officially become Akashi's Palace as of this moment. Climb up the platforms to reach a new floor of the dam, and head to the new entrance of the Dam. |
| 2 |  Investigate Akashi's Palace Go through the Twisted Passage on the left side of the entrance to unlock the Lower Control Center map. Continue down the designated path until you reach a worker about to be tortured by two others. You stop them after they transform into a Queen Mab and two Ose. Afterwards, use the same device to transfer energy to the nearby door to continue. |
| 3 |  Match Computer Lights Eventually, you will come across a computer room where the puzzle involves switching the lights of the computer to clear the path forward. Claim the computer chip once the platform is lowered, and after a mandatory fight against two Skadi it is here where how Akashi's past is revealed partially. Continuing down the path, you are forced into another fight against a Power and two Barong, then use a device to control a robot to ride it towards a green platform to open the door. Then, you get to use the brainwashing machine next to avoid another fight by altering the way they think based on a preset of thoughts. Two more Shadows show up that can be brainwashed, one for the path forward and another to a treasure chest. |
| 4 |  Remove the Brainwashing Continuing down the path, you are forced into another fight against a Power and two Barong, then use a device to control a robot to ride it towards a green platform to open the door. Then, you get to use the brainwashing machine next to avoid another fight by altering the way they think based on a preset of thoughts. Two more brainwash-able Shadows show up, one for the path forward and another to a treasure chest. |
| 5 |  Turn off the Red Lights In the next room, there are Red Lights that are forcing workers to continue working. Go through the entrance on the right side after entering and go up the stairs to reach the platforms. Turn off each individual light in order t oaccess the Computer Lights puzzle. Go down afterwards and match the lights with the pattern on-screen to claim the second chip. In the next room, the door is blocked by the aforementioned Red Light. Go to the room on the left, and ascend the lockers to get into a duct. This should move you to a platform above, where you can switch off the Red Light in order to continue to the next area. |
| 6 |  Find the First Robot The next area is blocked by 3 Mind Interferers that is covered by Red Light, making them untouchable for the time being. You need to find 3 Robots impervious to the Mind Interferer's influence. The first can be found on the southwest room, right across the door of the Safe Room. First encountering the room's own Mind Interferer forces you to fight against two Garuda. Once they're defeated, navigate through the room to turn off 5 Mental Interferers to be able to operate the First Robot. |
| 7 |  Find the Second Robot Once back outside the main area, head to the second location just north of where the first room was. Navigate the maze and find the correct switch to turn on two platforms, which you can then climb up the server machines to get to the next room. |
| 7 |  Find the Third Robot The room to the Third Robot can be found across the hall to the next room. Go inside and talk to the operator guarding the robot, then brainwash him to remove Akashi's influence. This should fix up their thinking, and allows the robot to move to the main area outside. |
| 8 |  Find The Last Chip After the robots disable the Mind Interferers, you get the third chip automatically, and you find out why Akashi turned out to be twisted as he is now. Afterwards, make your way up to the duct to move to the second floor in the Core Monitoring Room. Go to the next room, and ascend up some cabinets to go to a higher platform, the enter a duct afterwards. This brings you to a room where you are forced to fight two Rangda and two Sarasvati. Afterwards, go down the hall until you encounter yet another Computer Lights puzzle. First, take control of the robot to switch off the Red Lights blocking the way in a platform above. Once that's done, go to the brainwashing machine and target the worker on the left side. Afterwards, match the pattern of the lights on the computers with that shown on the screen. Only then can the 4th Chip can be claimed. |
| 9 |  Return to the Core Monitoring Room Once you have all four chips, alarms will blare and you have to go back to the Core Monitoring Room. Upon arrival, you are thrust into yet another mandatory fight, this time with two Kushinada. Upon their defeat, all you have to do now is place the chips in their corresponding locations to progress. |
| 10 |  Find the Treasure After the chips have been placed, it shows a panoramic model of the Dam showing the locations of the Treasures. From here, you are moved back outside to the entrance of the Dam. Simply head outside to "find the treasure", and this effectively ends the story for Chapter 3 Phase 3! |
