Scar and Arata battle an Humanoid Eater, and guess who shows up after the battle, Suedou! Suedou gives a long complicated speech about Humans, Eaters, evolution, and blah blah. A bunch of this and that, and like a newborn baby Uchiha the fascinated Arata decides to team up with Suedou. Further falling into the depths of darkness and corruption, abandoning Scar and hurting her feelings.
I won't bore you guys with a long detailed breakdown with what Suedou discussed between Arata and Scar. Basically, he wants Eaters to run wild and devour everything possible. Eater evolve by eating, the more they eat the more they can evolve. Suedou wants to witness the outcome of this phenomenon, he wants to see what kind of power these gluttonous programs can ascend to if they continue to feed. More or less anyway.
The man Yuuko Kamashiro had Scar and Kyoko investigate at the start of the series, a Mr. Yamashina is the man causing all the trouble at the Hospital. Being requested to investigate him this time by his actual Daughter, Scar and Yuuko agree to help Mr. Yamashina with his troubles. He request that the girls take him to same place where Crusadermon held Yuuko captivate.
When the girls and Mr. Yamashina reach the facility, he states lots of memories that had been erased from his mind start to return. He remembers that himself as well as another were lead researchers responsible for the creation of EDEN. Yamashina asks the Yuuko activate the machine and restore his memories, although something goes wrong when the machine is activated. Scar makes a connection jump into the machine and battles the Digimon responsible for the error in the retrieval of Mr. Yamashina's memories.
With Yamashina's memories returned he reveals a nasty truth about EDEN. EDEN had an closed Beta test eight years ago, during the Beta test five kids participating fell unconscious due to unknown causes. Four regained consciousness but one remained unconscious and EDEN Syndrome was born. But the cooperate heads spent way to much money developing EDEN so rather than let out the information on EDEN both the Nile Corp. and Kamashiro Ent. pretended as if nothing happened. Yamashina's partner erased the memory of the four children who regained their consciousness, as well as Yamashina so no one could report the incident.
Afterwards Scar gets a call from Matayoshi and Date, they are in danger and need help, the kind of help only a Cyber Sleuth can provide.
Scar gets a request from the sexy Police Officer Date, Date came around a Digimon named Lopmon and wants Scar to help Lopmon find her friend Tokomon. Scar starts her search in the real world, where Date found Lopmon, running into Nokia who hears the situation and agrees to help. Scar takes the search to EDEN, finding Tokomon in the EDEN Free Area with a familiar face as well.
Nokia ask Scar to meet up with her and Omnimon in Shibuya, Nokia expresses her concern for the innocent Digimon that are frightened or in danger (being detained by Military or Police Officers) and how see wants to return them to the Digital World. Omnimon wants to fight his friends who rank among the Royal Knights like himself, he thinks we should try to convince Royal Knights who aren't bent on the destruction of the Human World to join our cause. And thus Scar, Nokia, and Omnimon head out on their search.
Right away the group runs into Leopardmon, a Royal Knight who definitely is set on destroying the Human World. Since Humans are responsible for the birth of Eaters, Eaters aren't just causing trouble in the Human World they are also destroying the Digital World and at an rapid pace. Leopardmon admits it was his plan to come to the Human World, and that he is responsible for giving the order for the Royals Knights to invade and destroy the Human World.
Dynasmon (another Royal Knight) shows up beside Leopardmon, standing against Omnimon leaving him at an disadvantage. However, Gallantmon (yet another Royal Knight) shows up and stands with Omnimon evening the odds! Leopardmon and Dynasmon run with their Digi-tails between their lags, and the hunt to recruit Royal Knights begin.
Immediately after rescuing Yuuko Kamashiro from Crusadermon's clutches and the Eater that attached itself onto Yuuko, Scar is sucked into a digital shift that makes her whereabouts unknown for quite awhile. In this unknown space Scar meets none other than Yuugo Kamashiro! The first ever victim of EDEN Syndrome, and Yuuko Kamashiro's brother. Yuugo thanks Scar for looking after Yuuko, and strangely enough he mentions Nokia and Arata.. How does he know who they are though?
The silhouette of a strong looking Digimon appears before Scar, and she gets returned to the real world. The group brings Scar up to speed, and Scar tells Yuuko about Yuugo. You would think things are about to go smoothly, but of course that's never the case. Something is wrong with Scar's digital body, and to make matters worse Detective Matayoshi comes to the Kuremi Detective Agency.
Matayoshi is after Arata against his will, the higher ups of his department want to blame all the recent activities on hackers.. And luck will have it, Arata is the hacker of choice. Arata respectful declines, Matayoshi fights that Arata is just a kid and should listen to adults. Nokia, and Yuuko also agree that Arata likes to play the 'badass' but now is not the time for that. Of course, the big bad Arata Sanada has this to say: "If I am guilty then so is everyone, including Kyoko Kuremi and even yourself Matayoshi. But I'm not about to back down just because someone asked me to, I am a hacker! How can I do anything if I agree to be taken in by you, see ya around." Thus making Arata a wanted criminal, and the birth of Arata Uchiha is born!
Scar and Nokia travel through the Nakano Underpass heading for a place called Roppongi where they believe Yuuko Kamashiro is being held captive. On the way a mysterious person creeps up behind them with an urgent request, "please let me tag along with you guys to save Yuuko!"
The gang arrives in the underground facility where Yuuko Kamashiro is being held, and beside her is the vile Rei Kishibe, Yuuko's captor. Rei Kishibe reveals to the group something no one could have imaged, Rei Kishibe actually isn't Human! Rei Kishibe has another name, she is actually Crusadermon of the Royal Knights!
A massive gateway to the Digital World opens up in the sky and masses of Digimon fall into the Human World. This gateway closes not to long after it opens thanks to Arata Sanada's impressive hacking skillls, puttiong a whole is Crusadermon's plot to destroy the Human World.
An Eater attaches itself onto Yuuko Kamashiro, and a fierce battle between this vile creature begins. Will Scar and Company be able to save Yuuko?
Kamashiro Enterprises manages to pin the Eater and mass outbreak of EDEN syndrome on "hacker activities" pretending the situation had nothing to do with them. Rei Kishibe or Crusadermon disappeared for the time being, taking Yuuko Kamashiro hostage, and Digital Shifts are occurring all over Tokyo.
Omnimon informs Scar and Nokia about the seriousness of his presence in the Human World. Both the Human and Digital Worlds are at risk of being destroyed, the Digital World is being consumed by Eaters and the Human World is being preyed on by angry Digimon. The assault on the Human World is being issued by Royal Knight Digimon, and ironically it's going to take a Royal Knight Digimon's (Omnimon) help to stop their assault.
Scar and Arata prepare to break into the Valhalla Server to find Nokia before she crumbles at the mercy of Team Zaxon. When Scar and Arata find Nokia, Arata tries to distract WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon hoping to keep them at bay while Scar and Arata deal with Team Zaxon. However, that doesn't go as planned.
Team Zaxon, Team Rebels, and a few hackers under Arata's command go to war. Nokia, on the verge of losing, summons power from within. Giving birth to the one Digimon that can make a difference, Omnimon!
Yuugo of Team Zaxon request that Scar tell Nokia to disband her Rebels organization because she is in over her head, as well as in the way. A member off Nokia's Rebel teams ask for Scar to come to Kowloon because he was having trouble recruiting a stray hacker. Yuugo tags along and flexes his power with an "this is how it's done" attitude.
Shortly after, Yuugo holds a meeting on the Zaxon Forum. He declares an assault on Under Zero, he says it's time for hackers to reclaim what was lost. Yuugo wants to take the Valhalla Server, he gathers hackers all over to join them Zaxon in there raid on Under Zero.
Nokia ask Scar to help her train the weaker members of her Rebels organization to strengthen their skills, as well as their bonds with their Digimon. Yuugo stops by their training camp with a message for Nokia.
After successfully escaping Kamashiro Enterprises, Scar gets an SOS from a hacker who's in love with Nokia. He's worried about her and request that Scar meets up with her, and saves her from the dangers of Kowloon. Scar happily accepts and lucky for Nokia too, because this time Nokia got herself in over her head.
Scar, Arata, Yuuko, and Kyoko-Senpai hatch a plan to raid Kamashiro Enterprises yet again to obtain information from Kamashiro's "Secret Room" located on their Avalon server.
Yuuko mentions a "Valhalla Server" as well and Arata freaks out, what was that about??
After helping Nokia with her election for Presidency, Scar heads over to Arata to lend the lone wolf hacker a helping hand. Arata explains he thinks Akemi Suedou is a little.. Too, on the money with his "research."
Interestingly enough, a Digital Shift manifests right before Scar and Arata and they venture forth together to stabilize the area. As always, the Ghost of EDEN appears, followed by an Eater. However this time something different happens, the Eater.. Digivolved?
Rei Kishibe formally address Kamashiro Enterprises illegal activities as of recent over the airways, announcing that she fired all parties responsible for any and all violations to company policy. She also announces she is now the head of Kamashiro Enterprises, she wants to exercise her new found leadership immediately by launching a major update to EDEN.
Arata and Nokia have a lovers quarrel, going off different directions but reaching for a common goal. Scar goes to see how things are going with Nokia first to make sure Nokia doesn't land herself into trouble.
As promised, Paildramon. In my previous video ExVeemon was lacking the necessary requirements to DNA Digivolve with Stingmon, so this short video shows just that. As stated in my previous Digivolution video, Paildramon is probably the easiest DNA Digivolution you can get. Hopefully you all get yourselves one on your journey to becoming a Master Cyber Sleuth.
Showing more Digivolutions, as stated previously I'm just showing you guys the Digimon I work on as I go through the game. I am currently on Chapter 7, so every Digimon you'll see in this video can be obtained by this point in the game.
**********Spoiler**********
You can get Stingmon's and ExVeemon's DNA Divivolution, Paildramon as early as Chapter 4 if you grind a case called "A Life Crisis" given to you by Client: Hagurumon. I just haven't gotten around to it since ExVeemon is lacking the necessary strength required for the Digivolution. Both Stingmon and ExVeemon will need 100% CAM (friendship) which can be obtained easily by the following: Run the Gold Cup Offline Colosseum on Nanako's 4th floor and lose to Flamedramon. One of the rewards can get is a Friendship DX which raises friendship by 25%. You can use Digimeat in the Digifarm which raises friendship by 1% per Digimeat. Or you can have them in your active party while grinding the or processing through the story which nets 1% CAM per battle. To raise their other stats, you can either wait until Stingmon or ExVeemon reaches the requirements naturally or you can train them in the Digifarm. I believe Paildramon is the easiest DNA Digivolution you can get, I just haven't gotten around to it because I am currently trying to get Lucemon which is a huge pain in the buttocks so early on. So I do apologize for the inconvenience, I was hoping to be able to show him along with Flamedramon :(
The Digi-Egg of Courage needed to Digi-Armor Digivolve Veemon into Flamedramon can be obtained in Chapter 7. When Nokia joins your team and you guys go to Kowloon Lv. 4 in search for information about Jimiken's Demon Pilgrimage, you'll find Ryota (Sakura fanboy) being beaten on by a group of hackers. After this battle stay on this floor and stay to your right, take the life, and battle the guy with the Flamedramon. You'll get a Digi-Egg of Courage as an reward if you win! & I show you guys a Veemon Digi-Armor Digivolving into a Flamedramon at the end of the video.
Jimiken hijacks the airways convincing all his hardcore fans to partake in a "Demon Pilgrimage." Scar goes around looking for information that could lead her to finding the location of this Pilgrimage. Which leads Scar to running into Nokia, who happens to be Sakura's friend and is very eager to help.
Scar, Nokia, Agumon and Gabumon run into a group of Hackers working for Jimiken who are bullying Ryota. Nokia ask Scar to deal with the Hackers and save Ryota, but Agumon and Gabumon call Nokia out on being a coward.
Gabumon: "You need to be somewhere safe and just watch as your friend does the fighting!"
Agumon: "Uh, is that what a real friend is? Is that, uh, what friends do?
Kyoko-Senpai asks Scar how does she like being an Detective so far, and when Scar states she doesn't have a real feel for it yet. Kyoko-Senpai says the Kuremi Detective Agencies motto is "Reject not those who come, chase not those who leave, those who will not work will not eat." Ironically as she rejects a Client confusing him for a salesman of some short, lol. The Client ask us to retrieve his stolen Digimon Metal, which leads us to a Cherrymon and Bakemon mini boss battle.
Immediately after, Detective Matayoshi brings in a Client, Sakura's Mother. Sakura has been obsessing over Jimiken for quite some while, even to the point where she's been neglecting going to school just so she can watch more Jimiken. As the conversations continues, guess who hacks the airways?
Scar takes on a case from Reiko Tawa, a Client who works for the Shibyuya Record Store. Strange pranks are being played on the Record Store and Reiko wants to put an end to it. Scar happily accepts.
Kyoko-Senpai does a lot of talking and explaining in this video, to sum everything up with the quickness it would seem that Kamishiro Enterprises is responsible for the Digital Shifts that's been occurring recently. Which also can be inferred that Kamishiro Enterprises are responsible for the appearance of Eaters and EDEN Syndrome, hmm?!
Scar and Arata head to Akihabara, chasing after the Wisemon that fled from them. As soon as they arrive, a "Digital Shift" manifests within the town, turning Akihabara into a digital realm.
Scar and Arata meet none other than Professor Akemi Suedou (who also always appears in the weirdest of places) who says he predicted the probability of this strange phenomenon occurring precisely here in Akihabara. Hmmm.....
**********Important Message**********
Guys, I apologize for the mistake @ 9:40 when the video cuts straight to the boss battle. At that part of the video it was already my second attempt at the boss, I honestly forgot to save the original clip where Scar and Arata walk up to the Manga freak. When I got back up to the boss I skipped through the dialog and started the recording at the boss intro, unaware that I didn't have the actual scene with the dialog. So I do apologize for that guys, I had a scrub moment.
Police Officer Date (the crazy "I'll arrest you!!!! lady) comes to the Kuremi Detective Agency requesting our aid in a strange case of disappearances. A number of people are just vanishing all over Akihabara, and it's up to Scar to find out why this is happening.
Also, Scar handles a very strange case for a guy who is in love with this lady. He asks Scar to speak with this woman in his place, offering information that could help Scar with the case Police Officer Date entrusted her with.
After some running around Scar ends up with the familiar Arata Sanada, who strangely is always popping up in the shadiest of places. Arata tags along and will be helping Scar with her case.
Scar reaches the data she came to steal from Kamishiro Enterprises, and runs into none of then a bunch of hackers from Team Zaxon. However, our good friend Yuugo who just so happens to be Team Zaxon's leader is here as well (hmm.. I wonder why though?). Yuugo tells the group of hackers to back off, and that's when this guy appears to stir up some more trouble.
Scar catches Yuuko staring at a poster that reads "Nationwide B Level Gourmet Battle" and she was totally watering at the mouth!
Jokes aside, Yuuko Kamishiro comes to us with yet another case. Or should I say the same case, she asks us to look for her Father yet again. This time revealing the truth behind her requests and letting us know a few details about her and what she's going through. Scar accepts Yuuko's request but this time it'll be Scar who needs Yuuko's help in order to complete Yuuko's request.
Scar picks up a case called "A Life Crisis" from Client: Hagurumon, this case is extremely important!! Do NOT finish this quest unless you feel you are satisfied with were you are currently in the game.
The Digimon inside this area drop 800 - 1k EXP per battle, and you get to scan some pretty good Digimon too! Also, if you have a PlatinumSukamon on your active team the Exp you get will be greater, and greater still if you're brave enough to carry two PlatinumSukamon on your team. I believe I was getting around 2k EXP per battle before I finished up and edited this video. I'm telling you guys, this is a great grinding spot for so early in the game. As long as you do NOT talk to the Hargurumon you're free to run about the area as much as you want.
Moving on, Scar and Kyoko-Sama get another bizarre case. This time dealing with rumors and myths about bringing the dead back to life. And once this myth gets tested, the Client realizes she might have messed with forces she shouldn't have.
Scar and Arata successfully defeat an Eater, confirming some interesting and twisted information. Arata makes his exit, although he starts to seem more and more.. Mysterious, after each encounter. Just who is Arata Sanada?
Scar finds herself talking to Arata Sanada in front of some strange digital phenomenon over in Shinjuku. Although our favor police lady wants to arrest us because we are standing in front of a restricted area. Our only escape is to take a leap of faith and jump through the gateway before us!
Inside, Scar and Arata find themselves in some sort of Digital Netherworld. They learn some interesting secrets about a number of things that all seem to be linked together one way or another, and then a great challenge presents itself.
Scar challenges Jimiken and Devimon once again, determined to rescue Agumon and Gabumon. Team Zaxon seems to be undergoing some sort of power struggle, I wonder why their leader doesn't put his foot down.
Agumon and Gabumon express their thanks to Nokia, but at the same time, they reveal an interesting truth that changes Nokia's view on Digimon.
Okay, this fight with Jimiken was no joke! It actually took some grinding and understanding of the games mechanics to figure out how to take him down. I included my failures because I'd be lying if I said I beat this fight on my first try. Hopefully you all have a better first go or first couple of goes than I did.
If you really want to know how many times it took me to beat this guy, lol. Well it took me 4 tries, sadly.
The Chinese Restaurant Owner wants the Kuremi Detective Agency to deal with a problem he's having with his AC, apparently it's on and functioning but no cold air is coming out. Cyber Sleuth Scar nips that in the butt fairly easy and moves on to a bigger case.
Nokia comes to the Agency with an argent request, she pleads to Scar and Kyoko-Senpai that she's worried about two Digimon that could be in danger or worst. Nokia is to afraid to venture into the dangerous Kowloon that nasty hackers hang out in alone, so she request for Scar to escort her (do all the work while she watches). With Kyoko-Senpai's approval Cyber Sleuth Scar and Nokia begin their search for the missing DIgimon.
Mirei Mikagura and a Game Company Employee both need help from the Kuremi Detective Agency, and who better than Scar the Cyber Sleuth in training can handle these cases?
Mirei confirms that she has a zero tolerance for scumbags who treat Digimon like tools/weapons, she's complied a hit list of 30 hackers she wants dealt with. So we'll be seeing more of Mirei in the future.
The Game Company Employee created a gaming app, and for some reason it keeps crashing? Scar makes a connection jump to see what's going on inside this application, a simple task for a Cyber Sleuth.
Afters, Kyoko-Senpai places a personal request for Scar to handle. She's to help her crack down on the Mysterious Digital Face without being noticed by Matayoshi. Seems simple enough.
Scar heads to EDEN to find out some information on Account Raiding, and who exactly is doing the raiding. After asking a series of people questions about the topic, Scar discovers team Zaxon is behind the account raids. An ex Zaxon member gives us the URL to their group forum, and Scar begins her pursuit to find out who's responsible for these burglaries and hopeful find Yuuko's Father.
Kyoko-Senpai tells me to get familiar with the "White Board" (quest board), this is where Scar will be picking up her sidequest. After completing her first fetch quest, a familiar face shows up in the Kuremi Detective Agency requesting we locate her Father. Apparently he is missing, but his EDEN avatar is still active?
Thanks to Kyoko-Senpai, Scar was able to recover parts of her digital avatar, regaining her old appearance. And not a moment later, an old acquaintance of Kyoko-Senpai comes to discuss some rather disturbing news. This information ironically explains what happening to her at the moment, something called EDEN Syndrome?
Scar manages to escape from that disgusting creature that tried to eat her digital avatar, and after a few failed log out attempts Scar is able to successfully log out. Only something isn't right! She appears in the middle of the street in the form of a human shaped mass of data, she appears to have been separated from her physical body? Conveniently enough, a mysterious woman named Kyoko Kuremi rescues us, and chapter 1 begins.
Note: As stated before this is a blind playthrough on hard difficulty, so I did some "off screen" grinding while making this video. I will be uploading how I obtained the Digimon you will see featured in this video shortly, none of the Digimon were hard to get nor would I say time consuming either. In particular, I am really liking this Dorumon Digimon. Curious to see what he will digivolve into further down the line.
Picking up right where we left off, our main character runs into a strange "Ghastly Boy" while chasing after Arata. He states that Scar is a fledgling hacker and ask "what kind of hacker do you want to be?" And introduces us to a choice of three Digimon we can choose to partner up with in celebration of Scar's birth as a new hacker to-be. After careful thought and consideration, Scar chooses Palmon (Type: Data / Attribute: Plant) to be her partner Digimon. But of course, things can never go that smoothly.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is the first game I'll be sharing with you guys in 2016.
The story begins when our main character Ami (Scar), agrees to meet two people named Akkino and Blue Box in a cyberspace called Eden once an unknown user named Mr. Navit invades their private chat room stating he has a present for them. He also mentions "If you don't show up I'll hack you all!" Which get's Akkino excited and amp'd for the event.
Scar goes to Eden to meet with Akkino and Blue Box, but receives a call from Mr. Navit stating she's behind schedule, "hurry up and come to Galacta Park in Kowloon!" he says. After Scar finds her way to Galacta Park, Akkino introduces her self formally as Nokia Shiramine, and Blue Box introduces himself to be Arata Sanada. Mr. Navit shortly calls in and reveals his "gift" to the party, he hacks the group and installs a device called Digimon Capture into their systems which allows them to capture and befriend Digimon.
