Where the ♥♥♥♥ is murakumo.

It's not in the same spot it was in the original and this niche game has like no reliable guides up.

That doesn't really narrow it down.

WHY, I meant WHY do you need a guide to play, PLAY WITHOUT GUIDE, it is the way is meant to be played. Murakumo I got it in the last map, I meant everything in the map is clearly marked for you JUST PLAY WITH OUT A DAMN GUIDE.

[nezzzzzziru]

why is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ manchild having a mental breakdown over people using guides on this thread lol

Da'at Taito, Leyline Point Asakusa. Stay on the top ring (base level +3), and go as far north as you can, and then go west until you are at the north western part of the top ring. A miman and amalgam are in the vicinity further west and south

Also, i'd recommend using Freikugel from Nahobeeho essence instead of Murakumo, it's roughly the same damage but has high crit change for only 10MP increased cost, Combine with murderous glee (to increase crit chance) and high restore (to recover mp on crit). HFGL

Freikugel is quite substantially worse. Murakumo has increased crit damage, 320 base power on a crit (275 on a normal hit), whereas Freikugel only has 230. The increased crit chance doesn't really matter if you're using Crit Aura, which you were using with Murakumo anyway. All in all it's the same number of slots, but far more consistent and works much better with most Omagatoki strats.

Calm down you'll find the ultimate BONK-akumo

Unfortunately not all of us have the free time to search something with no clue.

Honestly it is really annoying with the elitism, "Play without a guide", say that while playing Megami Tensei 1 on the famicom.

Why do you people always ruin the game for yourselves? If you "don't have the free time" to find a super optimised build, then... don't? There are literally hundreds of viable strategies in this game. You aren't entitled to all of them for free. Find something that you enjoy with the resources you have.

Fascinating that looking around for a few minutes is harder than writing a whole thread on steam forums. Kids these days.
The map in which murakumo is located is almost fully explorable from the get go.

Considering I full cleared the map before finding it when the thread only took about 10 seconds to make. I'd say that yeah making the thread was easier.

This isn't MT1 on the famicom. This is SMTV where the game gives you plenty of directions. I mean the aogami essences are literally marked on the map, is just looking around too much to expect?.

Well no ♥♥♥♥, that’s not my argument, my argument is try playing that game without a guide, have you tried playing the game without a guide? I’m quite curious. Because I’m for sure ain’t ♥♥♥♥ going to play that game without a guide, try figuring out how to beat Lucifer or doing that Izanami puzzle without a guide or even going through the Mazurka corridor or any dungeon for that matter getting the tools to proceed through the game. Yes, I have been looking around dude, every nook and cranny.

I am barely looking at a guide when I play this game, it’s only when I’m trying to figure out the objective in the side quest because sometimes the game doesn’t show you the objective, which is really annoying. I still haven’t figured out where the virtual battler is. Shove it dude, some people don’t want to spend hours trying to figure out what to do next. This is not 1990 this is 2024.

I will only give this one to you, as it isn't 100% obvious like most of the other stuff is. Ginza DIET building (so within Da'at), warp to the thing in there, and it's the Scientist farther away from the thing.

Since this will be more helpful than anything else I can say here - you should talk with more NPCs and you will find things a little easier at times. It is also not unheard of for some of the generic "chat box" icon NPCs to have a mission or something, and you only find out by talking with them.
