6) Proceed Back to the Shibuya Metro and prepare for a difficult dungeon run.

The map is very direct with just a few forkroads to take note. 

Battle map

First Map:

• The red dot is where you are starting. Proceed behind the red line(its a door) and prepare yourself. Once you pass the door Miasma effect will be inflicted on you.

Miasma gives continuous HP and MP damage and sets HP and MP regeneration to 0.

• The white dots are NPCs that will appear once you defeat the demons over at their area. You need to claim a Key Card from them to proceed.
