Things are really beginning to come to a head now in the tenth episode ofRaidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, with the launch of the Tai-Itsu satellite and Raidou’s mission to stop it from destroying the city. Head back down into the Subterranean Shipping Yard again to confront Munakata and his goons.
This episode sees Raidou Kuzunoha XIV and Gouto diving deeper into the military’s secret area to try and stop the Super Soldier program from truly taking off, but you’ll need to come prepared for some pretty wild boss fights against the demon masterminding the project.
How To Infiltrate The Shipping Facility (Again)
You’ve already been over to the Subterranean Shipping area earlier in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army – you entered from Cannon Number Four off the coast of the city using Sadakichi’s passcode and saved Kaya Daidouji herein the fifth chapter. While you were there before, you may have noticed aleft area of the facilitythat was previously inaccessible, with the game kicking you out after saving Kaya.
Now, you’ll need to find a back entrance to the Subterranean Shipyard, with Gouto stopping you if you attempt to enter from Cannon Number Four a second time. You’ll need to go to theKasumi Glade, but doing so involves summoning Big Tarrasque again andentering the Glade from the sea, if you haven’t unlocked fast travel here already via express streetcar.
When the chapter begins, Raidou will receive a pair of orbs, and you’ll need to work out where toplace your two orbs in the statues at Kasumi Glade. Here, you’ll find two large fish statues and two pressure plates on the ground in front of them, all surrounding a well full of water in the central area.
To begin, place theShiomotsu Orb in the statue on the leftside of the area, which will be the first of the two orbs on your list. After some chatter from Gouto, place theChigaeshi Orb in the statue on the rightto continue.
The statue gets stuck as it’s moving, though, so you’ll need tohave a demon that knows Use Forcecome along to unstick it for you. You’re halfway done with this section of the puzzle, but Gouto comments that something else needs to be done. As Raidou,stand on one of the platesin the ground, but you’ll notice that the pressure fixes itself if you step back off.
To solve the Kasumi Glade puzzle in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, you’ll need tohave Raidou stand on one platein the ground beforesending a demon on a Solo Investigationwhile you’re standing there, since Raidou doesn’t move during these segments. Once you’re in control ofone of your demons, navigate across the area andhave the demon stand on the second pressure plate.
You’ll see a brief scene acknowledging that you’ve solved the puzzle, so make any preparations needed beforeclimbing into the wellto re-enter the Shipyard.
How To Explore The Shipping Yard
Welcome back to the military’s Subterranean Shipping Facility, where you saved Kaya Daidouji a few chapters ago (for better or for worse). You’re now at thetop level on the left sideof the facility, surrounded by several Ippon-Datara demons with chatter bubbles over their head. They’ll offer hints on where to go or just quippy conversations, but you’ll need to remember a few of them and where they are for later puzzle segments.
While you can choose to explore the area for plenty of loot by having Raidoudrop down onto shipping containers below to bypass blocked paths, you’ll need to keep your eyes out for demons lurking throughout the shipyard. The Ippon-Datara will never fight you without any direct trigger on your part, but demons will continue appearing as normal in this area.
You’ll find several higher-level demons in fixed locations around the map, since these are often near the best loot. This is one of your first chances to grabhigher-level Sword Alchemy materials, so it’s well worth exploring. Have your most powerful demon Summoned to follow Raidou through the facility, since any demon notably weaker than it can be auto-battled to save time.
In all, your goal is to make your way down thesouthern side of the area, and you’ll need to use a combination of dropping onto shipping containers, climbing ladders, and using stairwells to reach the areas you need. There’s plenty of lootand optional battlesto the northern edge, and you’ll need to get back there eventually, but for now,use the ladders to climb down to the lowest level on the southern sideof the facility.
Here, you’ll need to defeat a series of elemental Nethergates –ice and windNethergates, to be more specific – but the final gate in the area is one of the red impenetrable spirit walls.
Gouto reminds you that the Ippon-Datara on the other side of the facility earlier in the game was able to dispel a Nethergate for you.
To proceed with this section, you’ll need tospeak with the Ippon-Datara by the stairs down to the barrierfor a hint.
One of them will tell you about a friend who would be able to do the task for you, but says that they’ve retired. The Ippon-Datara you’re looking for is back on thenorthern side of the facility, so get back up to the top level of the area and use the stairs and drop-down areas toreach the northern section of the second-lowest floor.
The Ippon-Datara here will tell you they’re retired and will require a bit of goading before they’ll follow you, sonegotiate with the retired Ippon-Dataraand convince it to come out of retirement for just a moment to come help you. Once your negotiation is a success, you’ll all be brought over to the impenetrable gate. The Ippon-Datara destroys it for you, allowing Raidou to head down into the deepest section of the puzzle.
Reach Sukuna-Hikona
With the path ahead clear, you’ll need to enter the new area andapproach Nanamiwho’s waiting by the platform to the stage where you saved Kaya. Watch the cutscene with Narumi to learn some surprising secrets, and be sure to save at the Dragon’s Fount nearby, since you’re about to head into one of the toughest boss battles in Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.
Before going up onto the stage, be sure to break the items nearby – they contain incense, which can be incredibly helpful for boosting Raidou’s stats before the battle. You’d do well to bringdemons with good Strength statsinto this fight to exploit the boss’ elemental weakness, but they takedamage from Force movesas well, so a smart combination of demons and Raidou’s sword skills are imperative for the battle ahead.
You’ll see a scene with Narumi and Munakata before being attacked bySukuna-Hikonain the middle of it, and it’ll be up to Raidou to defeat the corrupt general to try and prevent further damage from occurring outside.
Following the tough fight, you’ll need toexit the stage toward the right side, where you came from earlier in the game, and the chapter will end here.
