After leaving the temple, I used a Tengu to grapple onto rooftops and hunted for strength lightning. I navigated the city's fog to transfer spirits via phone booths and encountered a ghost parade. After fighting off a Shine Dancer, I cleansed a rooftop Torii gate, revealing that the mysterious light originated from the forest park.
The first thing I did after leaving the temple was use a Tengu as a grappling hook to reach the rooftops. I missed this when I didn't have powers, so I was determined to get to the higher ground.
After a failed jump, I stayed near a local spirit who asked me to follow him. He promised to show me some hidden coins tucked away in the alleyways.
I spotted a Rain Walker nearby who was completely oblivious to my presence. I crept up behind him and performed a quick stealth takedown to clear the path.
I gathered some spirits around the city and looked for a phone booth to transfer them. Unfortunately, the nearest booth was sitting right on the edge of the dangerous fog zone, making the mission a bit more tense.
In the meantime, I spent some time grappling between buildings and slaying a few demons that crossed my path. Each fight felt like I was getting a better handle on Akito's abilities.
I noticed the ghost parade sitting right in front of me. I quickly opened photo mode to get Akito in the frame with it, but the parade was camera-shy and disappeared the moment I tried to take the shot.
Suddenly, I was ambushed by a Shine Dancer and a small group of demons. I had to pivot my strategy quickly to take care of the airborne threat before the ground troops could overwhelm me.
I used a Tengu to reach the top of a particularly tall building. From that height, I was able to spot a Torii gate sitting on a distant roof that needed cleansing.
Once I reached that roof, I had to defeat another Shine Dancer guarding the area. After the fight, I cleansed the gate, which cleared the surrounding fog and allowed me to see the source of the mysterious light more clearly.
After the gate was clear, KK pointed out that the light seemed to be coming from the forest park. He was curious about what was happening out there and urged me to hurry before things got worse.
We'll continue in another post.
