| Summary | ・An angel keeping watch fell out of contact. Investigate the massive hole at Shinagawa North Pier. ・Amanozako went berserk, and it would seem the hole itself was also her doing. You managed to return Amanozako to her senses. You should report to the Angel on what happened. ・You reported back to the angel and finished the job. |
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Talk to the Angel northwest of the Awajicho Leyline Fount. You need to have completed the Hellfire Highway main quest for this quest to apepar. |
| 2 |  Head to the Konan 3rd Block Leyline Fount in Shinagawa to investigate. Head east across the bridge, which was previously inaccessible, and reach the end, where you will find Amanozako. |
| 3 |  Talk to Amanozako when there is a Full Moon and she will go berserk. You might need to run around the place a bit to achieve a Full Moon. Defeat Amanozako to fulfill the quest objective. ・How to Beat Amanozako |
| 4 |  Return to Angel after defeating Amanozako to end the quest. You will receive 4 Small Glory Crystals and 24000 EXP as quest rewards. |
Defense debuffs are extremely vital if you wish to cut down the battle's duration by folds.
On Amanozako's first turn, she'll attack then follow up her move with Mazionga which grants your team a free turn. Her next turns will also be either Spirit Drains or Mazionga which can effectively increase your team's survival rate.
If you are running a Physical build or your demons run out of MP mid-fight, use Shards or Gems from your inventory to continue your assault. Getting as much damage as you can every turn is necessary to skip her critical HP phase.
