Examine the torii gate
You will start this mission after leaving the hospital. You must go south towards Yugenzaka. On the way, avoid getting close to the fog - choose safe alleys.
The mission objective will be updated after you get close to the first torii gate. You have to deal with the surrounding enemies. You can do that however you want. However, we recommend stealth attacks and eliminating Visitors one by one. After securing the area, stand in the spot where you can cleanse the gate - do that by holding down the indicated button. This will unlock the Akisawa Shrine and get rid of nearby fog.
Search the shrine
The shrine is right behind the cleansed torii gate. You need to explore the small altar where you will find a katashiro paper doll - it is an item with "magical" properties thanks to which you can absorb and "transport" spirits.
In other shrines unlocked later in the game (also during free exploration), you will also find unique rewards. You can find out about them by hovering over the shrine icon on the world map, even before you cleanse it.
Save the spirits
You can optionally search the rest of the shrine or resume your journey to Yugenzaka. On the way, you will encounter Containment Cubes - you will learn about protecting the spirits in the cubes from the Visitors.
Attack the enemies, especially those Visitors trying to absorb spirits from the cubes (example in the picture above). You can't let the spirit bar drop to 0%.
Hold a katashiro out to the spirits
After winning the battle, you can absorb spirits using katashiro for the first time. You have to do two things:
- Face the levitating cluster of spirits and hold down the absorb button.
- Have an unused katashiro in your inventory. Each absorption fills 1 paper doll - initially, you have 10 of them. You can increase the number of katashiro by buying another one in stores - we have described this in more detail on the Katashiro and absorbing spirits page.
Find a phone booth
The second part of the tutorial related to spirits "caught" by katashiro is about sending them back through phone booths. The game will mark the area with the booth, you won't have problems with locating it - it's under the stairs (picture above). All phone booths you have discovered will be marked on the map.
After reaching the booth, you have to interact with the phone to send back the collected spirits and receive the rewards - XP and meiko (local currency).
Useful hint - Sending away the spirits makes the katashiro "empty" again. You can use it to absorb other spirits. Reaching the booths while carrying spirits is an excellent way to get rich and level up.
Remove the seal on the door
You can resume your march to Yugenzaka. Your destination is an apartment block. You have to take the stairs and reach KK' apartment. Unfortunately, the door has a seal that must be removed.
Breaking the seals is done with a simple mini-game - you have to use the right analog stick to repeat the moves.
Here, the correct moves are left, right, left/up, down.
This will allow you to release energy by pressing the appropriate buttons (L2/R2 on PS5). If you make a mistake, you can try again. You can also ask KK for help in solving a mini-game, but this shouldn't be necessary.
Completing the mini-game will allow you to enter the apartment.
