List of Contents

“Center of the Conception” is a location included in the “Mercy and Expectation Map Pack” DLC. It becomes accessible upon reaching Ginza for the first time.
In this area, you are able to receive items called Bulls from enemies. These Bulls can be sold for Macca, allowing you to get rich quickly.
Center of the Conception has no bearing on the main story of SMT3: Nocturne. You may skip this whole area without missing any story-related content.
