Let's headed for the Subway Accident site. Before I went in, I made a "Legendary Handgun". While contacting with demons, they gave me a rumor about "Legendary Handgun possessed hidden power". I spread that and still couldn't figure out what the hidden power was.

Note that you can always go back outside after gone into the Subway accident site. I recommended well-prepare before explored further inside (you won't be able to come out after gone inside AmanoTorihune).

At the area where you needed to press the switch to level down the bridge to cross over, you'll notice that you couldn't access to the lower left side due to the switching. In order to enable the bridge, first signed contract with demon WORLD Lv. 45 Hunahpu (the Mayan God who float on a cloud), use "Katsuya + Ulala + Maya" to make him happy. Keep asking him info until you got "Sekeru's Mahamagnus is powerful. It can shake open a closed bridge.". Go ahead and signed contract with TOWER Lv.50 Sekeru (use also Kat+Ulala+Maya). Make it happy next time and an new option would came up. After bridge is accessable, you can get "Niji no Kagera" (Rainbow's pieces)...I haven't figure out what that does (for making weapons?). Anyway that process took me almost 2 hours...so be patience if you kept failing to get the rumors ^^;;;

Keep going until reaching AmanoTorihune, this so-called "AmanoTorihune" (means Heavenly Bird?) was same structure as Innocent Sin's last dungeon "Silverber". I almost thought "NO WAY~~ This is the final dungeon?" Thank god it's not. ^^;; The entering scenario was funny, Katsuya-bro and BaoFu..... ^^;;

I made sure myself walking thru every squares and inches of the floors to complete the map. (you can get 2 FOOL cards for map completion!) That includes using the elevator in every floor even if you didn't need to. Using Estoma was almost ineffective at the beginning for me, because Maya's levels was too low. Headache~~~ -___-;;;

At B5F's room you'll came upon Velvet Room and Trish's Spring. Three Golden version of Jun, Eikichi & Lisa will appear. They were created from Tatsuya's guilt. Tatsuya would followed them and leave the party temporary.

At B6F's room the interior would became Araya Temple. The Metal Jun tried to stab the willingly Tatsuya. In the nick of time, Tatsuya held on the blade with his bare band. Party stormed in and battles with our dear heros/heroines from Innocent Sin began!

If you recalled how they were in Innocent Sin, you'll know Lisa (Metal) is very fast, she'll always move first. Eikichi (Metal)'s Dark element "Bloody Honeymoon" will kill-off members (so DON'T equipped Persona with weakness to darkness). Jun (Metal) will kept healing the three and his "Cross Fortune", one of the nastiest attack-all magic in last game, will give random status to members (therefore he MUST be the first one to get rid of). Anyway, I wasn't thinking of any strategy. I used all "Attack-all" combos to fight them, attempted to kill off all three of them at the same time. I have Maya+Ulala doing a Ice+Ice, the three guys doing a Fire+Earth+Mahaagidan. (the later one can hurt Eikichi over 1100 damage). All members equipped with their final Greek Mythology Personas. After few rounds I had Tatsuya equipped "Ebisu" to cure all members with "Bamboo-Plum". Baofu+Katsuya switched to use Thunder+Thunder combo. They all work pretty well. I beat them safely and rather quickly. Anyway I enjoyed this battle because we can see Jun, Lisa and Eikichi using their Greek Gods Persona again ^__- Jun's voice is scary, that same errie echo voice as IS's Joker. Lisa will say something "Tat-chan" when she punch Tatsuya...eh? ^_-

Afterward, Katsuya wrapped bandage for Tatsuya's bleeding hands. The two brothers made up with each other *__* and Katsuya cried in joy. Now the two brothers have contact combo! Either K+T or T+K were very cute...^^

Now down till the last floor 8F. You should be able to complete the map before walking inside the boss room. Some CG movies of the ancient Japanese castle looking "Sumaru Castle" rise as Sumaru City rise above the sky.

Battle with Immortal Kudahara (or Kanhara?):
He's one of the most annoying boss in the game, because he would cure himself 700+ HP each round. I couldn't figure out a way to stop that, so the only way was keep on hurting him a great deal. First I had the three guys "Magakasha" (Magic-attack Up). Then the three guys use Fire+Earth+Mahaagidan combo, that can hurt him almost 3000 in each round!!! *__* Maya and Ulala used "Wind+Wind" attack, one of them use "Cure-all" when necessary. After quite some time I defeated him.

Now back outside~~~ Ukai District is GONE!!!! Poor BaoFu, his apartment was destory~~ ^^;; (Ellie's okay right?) The Map collector's gone too (where's my FOOL card? >__<;;;) Thankfully he's now at Hirasaka's SatomiTadashi. Go exchange for FOOL cards and get the final blank map for Sumaru Castle.

Get rumor from W.Slash and Jolly Roger (see my rumor list) and you'll find Cleir de Lune and Jewelry Shops will reopen at Kainan and Aoba District!

Legends of Emperor Kiyochou, Young Samurai Suoh Tatnojin & his servant Kuroda Junoske & Princess Amano Mahime:
Sumaru Castle was built by an ancient tyrant Emperor "Kiyochou". You can find out the story of how he was defeated in ancient time by three youngster (and able to summon them as Persona!).

Go to Kissmate Publisher, go inside Mizuno's room (Maya's chief editor) and you'll find Kashihara Akirari (Jun's Father, 7th Sister History teacher). Talk to him and he'll tell you that he's researching for history about "Kiyoshou". Maya will have to choose answer (choose 1st one of course). Kashihara tells you about tyrant Emperor Kiyochou built the Sumaru Castle by using Torihune's "words soul" (the fire ceremony thing similar to beginning, also how Kandori was brought back to life). He said a young master of a Samurai family rebelled against Kiyochou. Along with his family servant (=Junoske) and the Princess, this young master fought against Kiyochou. Then Maya have a choice to ask for the young master's name, of course choose "ask him for the name". Kashihara will replied "The young samurai's name is Suoh Tatnojin". Note that the name is highlight in orange, which means you can spread its rumor at Detective Office.

note: If you chose wrong option when talking to Mizuno after joining Nanjo/Ellie, the above event will NOT happen! Beware!!!

Now go to Araya Temple, talk to "Nishidani Seji", the old lady whom you identify her name before (you MUST identify her name first in order for this to happen!) She'll tell that Kiyochou was a bad emperor who used evil spells causing his people suffered. She said a brothers-like Samurai and his servant had defeated Kiyochou for good. The Young Samurai (=Tatnojin) had prepare for death and invade the castle. He farewell to his lover, the Princess. The Princess worried and chased him after. While Tatnojin fighting the Emperor, the Princess saved Tatnojin for blocking a spear stabbed for him (Maya's ancestor had the same fate as Maya in Innocent Sin? All died from Spear's stab?). Tatnojin killed the Emperor at last. The castle fell apart. The young samurai hugged the Princess's corpse and decided to died with her together. He asked his servant (=Junoske) to built a shrine in memory of himself and the brave princess who sacrifice herself for the victory. (is that why Junoske became a monk later?) Maya have a choice to ask for the Princess's name (of course choose yes). The name is "Amano Mahime".

Go spread the rumor about Tatnojin and Mahime at Detective Office. You can summon them as Persona later at Sumaru Castle. If you fill-up the $ box at Junoske's shrine at the beginning, you'll get him as well as you summon Tatnojin. Note: Junoske requires FOOL cards, so saved all the FOOL cards gathered from Map drawing for him~~~ ^^

Obviously, Tatnojin, Mahime and Junoske are the ancestor or reincarnation of Tatsuya, Maya and Jun. Too bad Jun wasn't a usable member this time, or else we could have the three of them casting their own ancestor's Persona~ ^^;; Also Maya and Tatsuya were the "destined" lovers couple...-__-; Dunno why I just can't accept this pair (prefer Katsuya x Maya >__<) ....
