In this episode, I completed 8 requests: • Cooking Papa: Zenkichi needs to learn how to cook to ensure Akane is eating right. After obtaining the request from Zenkichi, talk to Haru. She sends you another request (Obanzai Ingredients) which has you hunting down some ingredients. After finishing this request, talk to Futaba, who will send you on another request (Forging the Ultimate Menu) For this one, you need to cook her two dishes. Once you complete Haru and Futaba's individual requests, you can mark Zenkichi's 'Cooking Papa' request as complete and get some BOND EXP. • Obanzai Ingredients: Haru needs you to get 3 ingredients to make Obanzai: Kamo-Nasu Eggplant, Tofu, and Beef. Thankfully, you should be able to buy some of them from the nearby shops/restaurants/super market as well as from Sophia's Shop. However, keep in mind that Tofu was not available for me at Sophia Shop's until I completed the request Elegant Experiment. • Forging the Ultimate Menu: Futaba asks that you cook her 2 dishes. You should already have plenty of ingredients to cook both Kyoto Curry and Miso Ramen at the Camper (hideout). • Sophia's Weapon Shop Redux: This one looks hard to do but is actually pretty easy. Just go to the location I went to in this video and you can find the exact spot where more than 5 Neko Shogun appear along with some stone lanterns in the area for you to use Phantom Dash in Kyoto Jail. • Sophia's Armor Shop Redux: You need to defeat 10 Koppa Tengu with Zenkichi. These are typcally found at the Corner of Fear (southwest of the map) or Parental Square. In this video, I showed you the exact spot where they spawned at and it took 2 trips for me to finish this request. • Shocking the Scum: You'll need to return to Okinawa Jail and defeat 20 Black Ooze by striking their weakness, Zio skills. The quickest way to do this: Go to the entrance of Okinawa Jail and head east. The first 2 shadows you encounter will be 6 Black Ooze each. Make sure you have Ryuji with you so you can use Zio skills. The reward for this request is totally worth it: Demon Pipe (which not only increases Skull's attack power to 154 but also increases Strength by +2)! • Elegant Experiment: Another request that looks hard but is actually very easy. Go back to Sendai Jail WITH ONLY JOKER and go to the checkpoint on Hirose St. Head south until you are near the Prison Keep where you can fight the Viscid Rotting Meat. The strategy is to wait until this shadow spawns at least 2 groups of other Slime. Now use either Hot Spots!: Okinawa, Hot Spots!: Osaka, or Soulful Jelly to increase your Showtime gauge until the meter is maxed out. Then, immediately use Joker's Showtime move and you should be done with the request once the fight ends. This will unlock more cooking ingredients at Sophia's online shop so you can finish the 'Obanzai Ingredients' request for Haru and obtain Tofu. • Trapped in Ruins: Mona needs you to get another Forgotten Desire and, this time, it's in Okinawa Jail. The fastest way to get there is go to the 'Lab: North' checkpoint and head inside the room on the east side. Don't bother fighting the shadow that's patrolling the area in the room. Just move towards the northern Hook on Rails, jump on the Hanging Scaffolding, and then use the center Hook on Rails to land on the big crates. Snag the floating box and you are done! I also finished all the special requests from the Phantom Thieves in this episode! Trophies Unlocked: What are Friends For? (Cleared all special requests from the Phantom Thieves.)
