The majority of Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance takes place in the Netherworld, focusing on fighting demons. There are a few things for players to do in Tokyo after unlocking the ability to travel between the Netherworld and Tokyo.

A few side quests are available and can be fairly easy to complete, giving players unique items and bonus XP for the next time they go to the Netherworld. One of these quests is In Pursuit of Knowledge, which can be found in the northern section of the Tokyo city map.

How To Complete In Pursuit Of Knowledge In Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance

In Pursuit Of Knowledge begins by talking to the green icon representing the Jouin Student on the Tokyo city map. This side quest is not time-sensitive, but can only be completed when travel between the two worlds is possible, and travel back to Tokyo will occasionally be cut off due to the main story. There are three questions players will need to answer correctly to complete the quest.

Question

Answer

The demon Onmoraki is a monstrous bird with a human face. What is its original form?

Human Corpse

Amongst the hierarchy of daemons, what is the name of the evil spirit from which the word "demon" originates?

Cacodaemon

What should you do to remove the omelet-loving spirit Aitvaras from your home?

Light a candle

This quiz can be taken as many times as needed, without any penalty for getting questions wrong. Completing this quest will give the player 700 XP for the Nahobino and any summoned demons, along with the Treacherous Order Periapt.

Is The Treacherous Order Periapt Good In Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance

The Player Completing In Pursuit Of Knowledge


The Treacherous Order Periapt needs two demons of the Dark - Law alignment and allows them to use Rains of Order. Rains of Order is a Combination Magatsuhi skill in Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance that restores a large amount of MP to all allies and adds one Press Turn Icon to your next turn. This ability has many uses, either when exploring the Netherworld or during long-drawn-out boss fights.

MP restoration items are rare, and this ability not only restores a large amount of MP but does so for all allies. Using this ability during random encounters can make exploring the Netherworld much easier, as it will save MP restoration items. Later boss fights in the game will have the player and their demons using powerful abilities that cost a lot of MP while fighting bosses with huge health bars. Having this ability in your rotation can let players fight to the fullest without the worry of proper MP management throughout the fight.
