Meanwhile, later that night, you have another dream of a city in ruins. There, you meet Walter, who suggests that this world is beyond saving and should simply be rebooted. He parts, requesting you head to the underground. In the desert, you meet Jonathan suggests the exact opposite of that…

The next morning, you awaken, alone for once. Hope calls, requesting you to go to Aquila Plaza. Feel free to shop up first, but that is about it - head to the Emergency Meeting Ground. Hope soon calls the ground to order, before being cut off by Abbot Hugo.

He mentions little other than that you already know, but soon mentions that the Black Samurai is suspected to be in league with the Unclean Ones, those dwelling in the underworld, deep in the Naraku… which is against the samurais’ code. Not to mention the legendary demon said to swell within.

The quest is up at K’s Tavern. There, Isabeau, Walter, and Jonathan are discussing the notion of an ulterior motive to this quest - that the Monastery is trying to simply get relics from the underworld, and the Black Samurai’s appearance provides a convenient excuse.

Respond as you will to whether you think you should do the quest when Walter asks.

• Alignment +5 = We should
• Alignment -1 = It is unseemly
  If you are interested, there are several other Challenge Quests available. If you don’t want to do these, simply go to the section Capture the Black Samurai.

“I Want a Classy Down Quilt:”

Gather 5 Fuxi Feathers, found by killing Fuxis. They reside all throughout what of Naraku you’ve explored thus far; you may even already have them!

“Slaying of the Dragon of the Lake:”

In this task, you’re tasked with slaying Long. Head towards Lake Mikado - go to the Mikado Castle, then the Castle City, then the lake. Save beforehand.

Boss: Long¶

After the battle, you are asked a question as to what you think demons are…

• Alignment +1 = You are beasts to be slain
• Alignment -1 = You are holy spirits
  “Dance of the Dead:”

First rest up in the Barracks, accept the quest, then head into Naraku. Proceed along to the third level - you know, with the poison and all from last time. There, grind your way through five Calamity Hordes.

Boss: Calamity Horde¶

After winning the final battle, though…

Boss: David¶

Once you’ve rested at the Barracks, let’s take on the next mission.
