SMT:SJR / Empyrean Ascent: Maps and Walkthrough Tips

Game: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Location: Empyrean Ascent.

If you haven’t got there yet, check my Womb of Grief maps .

Empyrean Ascent is a solid dungeon that is a nice addition to the gameplay of Strange Journey. It only consists of two floors, but they are full of tricks. Here are my maps and walkthrough advice.

How to get there

If you want to get the alternative ending on New Game+, you have to clear Womb of Grief before finishing sector Horologium on Neutral route. You will meet the Redux exclusive character, Alex, and learn a bit more about her storyline. The last door in Womb of Grief will lead you to Empyrean Ascent.

Be prepared

I highly recommend getting Omen Bug and Guidance Angel sub-apps before heading in. You will also need the maximum level of both Gate Search and Unlock, though some doors are lower in level.

Final boss fight strategy

Shekinah is a composite of all Cosmic Egg minibosses, plus her own instance in the beginning of the battle. She will switch her weaknesses along the battle. Demon Co-Op is essential, so it’s better to have a variety of demons with elemental skills and a good gun. In case you really want to use demons of different alignments, get yourself Co-Op Enhance W, though it will still inflict less damage. If you are a beginner in the franchise and are not afraid of spoilers, make sure to check Shekinah’s stats on SMT Wiki .

Once Shekinah’s HP is almost gone, Demeter will be summoned to heal her. After that, Shekinah will unlock Cocytus, a passive skill that reflects damage if you aim at her current weakness. Keep her busy and utilize weaknesses while you can.

Upper Layer

This level is a warp maze. The warps here are conditional, so if you use Guidance Angel sub-app, they will all point to the start of the current portion of the dungeon. Warps look like doorways with masks (?) on the sides. You need to check the number of items on each warp. Once you pass through a warp (successfully, i.e. you get teleported) you can go through warps with this number +1 without teleporting. For example, if you teleport through an empty warp, you can move through warps with 1 mask, and so on. You can reset your count by going through the first warp which is usually 0.

The overall strategy is go get to the furthest point of the maze chunk and get teleported to the next one through a zero warp. You will get through normal and one-sided doors on your way, so unlock everything you can. There are also some trapdoors and stairs to use.

Lower Layer

If you thought that the Upper Layer is hard, this one is clearly sadistic. It doesn’t have a consistent symmetrical structure or logic. The good news is that you don’t have to clear it to finish the game. You can head straight to the room in the center to beat Shekinah.

If you decide to accept Louisa Ferre’s quest, you need to get to each of the four switches to clear the way to optional superbosses. There are no conditions to warps here, and you can utilize the stairs to pass through upper layer.

Optional bosses are marked by orange tint.

Both maps have the same dimensions. Download them and click back and forth to see how stairs and trapdoors are connected.

One thought on “ SMT:SJR / Empyrean Ascent: Maps and Walkthrough Tips ”

Thank You again for the maps of the Ascent.

Below you can find and updated map of upper layer. Sadly – incomplete, as I’m on my 1st playthrough.

But I plan on going back to this game one day, that’s for sure.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

Game trailer, description.

• In the near future, a mysterious, growing, black void appears at the Earth's southern pole. Unable to determine its cause and powerless to stop its deadly encroachment, humanity sends an elite team of explorers into the heart of the phenomenon, just as Strange Journey's look and feel represent a return to the heart of Shin Megami Tensei, bringing to mind the all-time classic Nocturne. With over 300 demons to bribe, coerce, and negotiate with to gain assistance in battle, Strange Journey is every bit the deep, rewarding RPG experience fans have come to expect from the SMT franchise, yet delivered with a fresh new sci-fi story that taps into mature themes of morality and introspection.
