Defeat the Others and retrieve it from the ground! In Phase 2, we also found another Medium Jelly in front of the store behind the Shopping Woman. It was on West Main Street across from Sumeragi Tomb Grounds. Alternatively, you can complete the below side quest called Surprise Test Cont.

Requester: Examiner
Objective: With Brain Crush, defeat 2 Wither Sabbat
The Wither Sabbat can be found at Kikuchiba – Mid-Level Shopping District and Mizuhagawa District – Construction Site. To defeat these creatures, you can use a vending machine (L2 with psychokinesis) to knock it down then attack its weak spot on the back with melee and psychokinesis to lower the gauge. Alternatively, you can use SAS combos such as pouring water and electrokinesis. If you kill the Sabbat without Brain Crush, you will have to leave the area entirely to get it to respawn.
Reward: Medium Jelly x3

To easily get Brain Crushes, use Kyoka’s duplication on the Auger Sabbat from the front to break its face armor. Switch to Shiden’s Electrokinesis and use rising attacks from the front or psychokinesis from the front to boop its nose. Pay attention for water barrels to use with Psychokinesis to aid in stunning them with Electrokinesis.

Use a weapon attack to close the gap and recover some energy then quickly throw another object. This should break the gauge allowing a Brain Crush for an easy kill. Please note that if you have increased Psychokinesis gauge and/or Brain Crush SAS restore this should be easy to chain and complete.

The Winery Chinery can be found at Mizuhagawa District – Construction Site. If you can reduce the Crush Gauge, hit it with Arashi’s Combo Vision while stunned then execute a Brain Crush. This will count towards the quest. To reduce the Crush Gauge, attack its rear legs with Invisibility backstabs, Duplication and Psychokinesis attacks. Another option is to fight it normally. When its HP is low, do the following to ensure you can get the hit:
- Activate Invisibility to stop your allies from attacking it
- Activate Combo Vision while it does not see you
- Change your allies AI in the Party Menu to ‘Evasive Maneuvers’ to stop them from attacking
- Remove your AI allies from the active party in the Party Menu
Reward: Hanging Scroll “Speed” x1 (gift item)
What’s in the Box?!
Location: Seiran City – Town Center
Requester: Used Book Store Owner
Objective: Use a Combo Vision with Shiden, defeat 2 Saliva Santa
The Saliva Santa can be found at Mizuhagawa District – Construction Site. An easy way to accomplish this task is to first go invisible with Kagero. Use a backstab on the weak spot to fully deplete the Crush Gauge in one strike. If this fails, quickly activate Hypervelocity and follow up with psycokinesis or physical attacks to deplete the gauge. Conversely, you can use Hypervelocity before the Saliva Santa retreats and knock it over. Afterwards, attack its weak spot. Once the Saliva Santa is stunned and awaiting a Brain Crush, quickly use a Combo Vision with Shiden. When Shiden’s animation has played out, quickly finish the foe with a Brain Crush.
Reward: Lightning Photograph x1 (gift item)
Easy Victory

Requester: Spirited Soldier

Location: Seiran City – Town Center

Objective: Use a Combo Vision with Kagero, defeat 3 Bandeu Pendu
The Bandeu Pendu are found at Kunad Highway – Suoh Exit or Junction. Use Hypervelocity (and Duplication) to quickly deplete the Crush Gauge. When the enemy falls, before activating Brain Crush, use Kagero’s Combo Vision. Once the Combo Vision hits, execute the enemy with a Brain Crush.
Reward: Printed Photo Stand x1
Help With Coverage
Location: Seiran City – Town Center
Requester: Journalist
Objective: With Psychokinesis Follow-Up Attack, defeat 5 Scummy Pendu
The Scummy Pendu can be found at Kikuchiba – Mid-Level Shopping District or Upper-Level Construction Site. Use a Rising Attack into a Psychokinesis Follow-Up. The enemies are weak, so this should be enough to eliminate them!
Reward: Ogre Horn (Luminous) x1
Going to Togetsu
Location: Musubi’s – Restaurant Interior
Requester: Togetsu Faith Hopeful
Objective: During Brain Drive, defeat 5 Session Pound
The Session Pound can be found at Hieno Mountain and this challenge is exceptionally annoying. Do your best to manage the Brain Drive gauge to being close to activating in a major fight. We recommend an arena near the Psychokinetic snowboarding section. Killing so many weak enemies quickly builds Brain Drive. Just be sure to not go over. Alternatively, a method requiring Concurrent SAS skill is to use Electrokinesis and Duplication at the same time at range. If you manage to hit the Session Pound from afar, it’ll be knocked down. Follow up (made easier with Brain Drive) with another Psychokinesis attack and you should deplete the Crush Gauge allowing Brain Crush. You’ll need to hurry, though. The Session Pound will explode shortly after being knocked down after the first Psychokinesis attack. You can also use Hypervelocity and the Ice Pillars to drain their Crush Gauge in one move. Otherwise, try to use Contextual (L2) Psychokinesis in the environment to drain their health/Crush Gauge before they detonate. We highly recommend using Hypervelocity to give you as much time as possible to deplete Crush Gauge or HP before they explode. As a result, SAS Refuel Drinks are handy here to keep Hypervelocity charged.
Reward: Full-Face Mask (Luminous) x1
Standby Phase 9
Please Collect Intel
Location: Suoh City Ryujin Ward – Main Street
Requester: Beginner Council Secretary
Objective: Deliver 2 Kunad Highway Environment C

Power to Repel
Location: Seiran City – Town Center
Requester: Karen Worshipper
Objective: With intercept, defeat 3 Kitchen Rummy
The Kitchen Rummy can be found at Kikuchiba – Sub-Level Underground Facility. Use Standard melee attacks to bring down the HP to roughly 5% – 10%. From there, it’s up to executing the perfect dodge and getting the intercept prompt. So long as the HP is low enough, the intercept shot should kill it. If your allies are getting in the way, you can change their AI or remove active members to focus on dodging.
Reward: Breastplate (Luminous) x1
Seeking Your Advice
Location: OSF Hospital – Lobby
Requester: 567th New Recruit
Objective: With Psychokinesis Finish, defeat 5 Cushion Pound
The Cushion Pound can be found at Supernatural Life Research Facility – Museum Ruins. Use the contextual Psychokinesis attacks with the statues then use the statues to crush the armor of the Cushion Pound, break the shell and down it. Afterwards, activate Duplication and follow up with a Psychokinetic attack. This should lower the Crush Gauge allowing for a Brain Crush to finish the enemy. If the Psychokinesis attack does not involve the item going straight up and crashing down, you did not execute a Psychokinesis finisher and it will not count.
Reward: OSF Armband Vision (Black) x1
Standby Phase 10

Requester: OSF – Hopeful Girl
Objective: Use a Combo Vision with Luka, defeat 1 Booger Sabbat

The Fuel Pool can be found at Kikuchiba – Mid-Level Shopping District or Upper-Level Construction Site and Supernatural Life Research Facility – Museum Ruins. For this one, break the Crush Gauge, hit the stunned enemy with the Combo Vision and execute a Brain Crush. Duplication is recommended for lowing the Crush Gauge. You can use Pyrokinesis, but be careful to not let the SAS meter fall under 60% or you can’t activate the Combo Vision. Alternatively, fight them normally. When low on HP, use the Combo Vision to finish them off.
Reward: Simple Candle x1
Forecaster’s Hunch
Location: Musubi’s
Requester: Young Other Forecaster
Objective: Use a Combo Vision with Tsugumi, defeat 1 Winery Chinery
The Winery Chinery can be found at Mizuhagawa District – Construction Site. Use the “Deplete Crush Gauge, hit Combo Vision and execute Brain Crush” strategy. Otherwise, the same rules apply.
