| 3 |
Defeat OyamatsumiTo prove your worth, Konohana Sakuya will ask you to defeat her father, Oyamatsumi, who is one of the early punishing foes you can encounter in the game. Simply head to the Shiba leyline fount and go left to find him. |
| 4 |
Defeat Konohana SakuyaAfter defeating Oyamatsumi, head back to Onarimon and speak to Konohana Sakuya again. Make sure to heal before talking to her, as you'll immediately be thrown into a fight against her as you speak. Once you defeat her, she will immediately join your party, so make sure you have a free space to recruit her successfully. |
| 5 |
Report Back to the ResearcherReturn to Bethel after fighting Konohana Sakuya and speak to the same researcher to complete the mission. He will reward you with three Magic Incense as you end the subquest. |
Reach Level 48 or Higher Before Facing Oyamatsumi
Oyamatsumi is a one of the punishing foes you can encounter in the Netherworld. He is a level 48 boss who can deal heavy physical damage to your team, so be sure to face him only when you're around this level. Additionally, he is weak to fire, so bring any strong demons you have with fire attacks.
How to Beat Oyamatsumi
Use Lightning Attacks Against Konohana Sakuya
When facing Konohana Sakuya, it's best to bring demons that can deal significant electric damage to exploit her weakness. Additionally, bring a support demon that can inflict debuffs to minimize her damage output, especially when she starts buffing herself with her signature skill, Sakuya Sakura.
