You’ve spent the entirety of talking with Sae Niijima, one of the detectives in the case against the Phantom Thieves, but, surprise, she has one palace as well. The elder sister of Makoto and your last chance at explaining yourselves to the police, Sae’s palace takes on the form of a casino – the one from the intro of the game.

You’ve already got the younger Niijima sibling in your team, so your new addition for this palace is Goro Akechi, the detective prince who’s been a real frenemy pain in your ass so far. If you’re looking for some help with Sae’s🅘 Casino, we’ve got you covꦕered.

For this guide, we’ll be focusing exclusively on the dungeon itself and not the goings-on outside the Metaverse. This guide walks you from your first step into the palace up to the boss fight. We’ve additionally got guides for how to defeat the boss shadows in each palace, too, as well as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a full Will Seeds walkthrough.

Preliminary Info

sae's casino palace from the outside

Sae’s palace takes the form of a casino inside the courthouse in Tokyo to depict how she views her job as win or lose, and the theme carries throughout the dungeon. You ought to be between Levels 50-60 for the smoothest sailing through this location, and it’s always important to be leveling up your teammate’ꦏs Confidant rankings to give them bonus skiꦯlls, too.

As always with dungeon-crawling in this game, take some time to check in on your teammates and Joker’s Personas. The Velvet Room should be rife by this point with fusions you can make to maximize the damage output from Joker, so be sure to stay abreast𝄹 of that.

With so many varying affinities and weaknesses in the shadows for this palace, it’s tough to recommend one Phantom Thief over the others, as they’ll all have abilities that can hurt. Because of this, your party is largely up to you. Worth noting is that Akechi is your first easy access to bless and curse attacks, and those are the two elements with the most weak points for the shadows. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Akechi is a good choice ওto deal with those, but watch out for the number of shadows that nullify those attacks, too, and use someone else to deal with them.

Like with Madarame, it isn't possible to finish this dungeon in one day. The story forces you back into the real world after a bit, since you need Sae to see you in Court to be able to progress past the second floor. Keep this in mind as you plan November's schedule.

Staff-Only Area

futaba declaring the goal of the staff only area is finding a customer terminal

When you infiltrate Sae’s palace, you’ll do so the same way you got in before. Not far from the elevator is a safe room for the main floor, so activate it and then go up the stairs into the room there. This brings you to the Staff-Only Area, where you’ll be doing the first pa🅺rt of your dungeo🦩n crawling to find a customer data terminal here.

Go straight until the hall forks, going right to grab a treasure chest then doubling back to go left to carry onward. This will lead you to a stairwell and a safe room, so activate this safe room. Unlock the shortcut using Third Eye to get back, then climb the stairs here to confront a shadow mini-boss, Queen Mab.

Defeat her using the affinities chart above to receive the Security Keycard. Open the door nearby into a hallway you’ve not been to yet, whic💯h has a locked door ahead that you can access using you🎃r Security Keycard.

The Security Keycard is also your ticket to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sae’s first Will Seed, the guide for which we’ve got right here.

Ahead, you’ll see a door blocked by guards, who you can try to sneak past or fight for XP. The fight will be against Valkyrie and Unicorn. After defeating them, you open the door to find another locked door, accessible with your Keycard.

Go through the vent in this newly unlocked room to get to the Ganesha mini-boss fight. It drops Member Cards upon defeat, and the team taꦏkes one (with Akechi also taking one of his own). You also receive the dungeon map here, so grab it, unlock the door behind you, then head back through the vent once again.

With this new Member Ca🌠rd, you can get higher up in the casino, so head back to the Main Floor elevator and use this new card to access the Members&rsquo🐼; Floor.

Members’ Floor

visiting the cashier on the member's only floor at sae's casino

When you regain control of the group, go to the Cashiers counter to learn that you’ll need to gamble to win access to the next area of the dungeon. The casino gives you 1,000 coins as seed money, and you need to find a way to turn that into 50,000. It gives the illusion of choice for what you can play, but the dice game is the way forward.

Breaking the statues and decorations littere𓄧d around the area will give coins, but no matter how many you smash, you can’t get all of them this way.

Dice

Play a few rounds of the dice game until Akechi points out that the game is rigged. If you leave the table, go left, and use Third Eye, you’ll find a vent in the room to crawl through.

Conveniently, this leads to where you can “cheat” the games yourselves. To get to the area you need, follow t🐓hese quick steဣps.

  • Go until you hit a fork in the path, then keep going straight until you hit a climbable block.
  • Climb over it, continue straight, go through the door, and up the stairs here.
  • Upstairs, go straight until you hit another staircase, and use it to get back down.
  • Follow the path (hitting the safe room if you need to prepare for the fight you’re heading to), until you hit a room at the end of the path that leads back to the dice game.
finishing the maze to stop the cheating in the dice game in sae's casino

If you see an enemy here, you’re in the right spot. You’re up against Nebiros, so use our table above to win the fight quickly. Doing so rigs the dice games in the Thieves’ favor, so go back to the dice game and head to the one marked with a ! over it.

You won’t make enough to hit the goal, but continue to choose “Between 11 and 18” until the game is over.

Slots

The other gambling option you’ve got is slot machines, so head to that section of the map after you’re done with the dice game. A major difference here is that the slot room has shadows lurking about, meani𓆏ng you’ll need to either be more careful navigating or prepare to earn some good XP through fights.

You’ll see colored terminals around the room. Keep them in mind as you ultimately head to the door in the west that brings you to a giant slot machine. It’s tempting to play, but you know the last game was rigged, so don’t do it yet. Instead, inspect the back of the machine. ꧒Climb up🔯 it and listen to Futaba tell you which terminals you’ll need.

Thankfully, the ones you need never change; they’ll always be the red and green terminals. Red can be found by the entrance to the slot room, while green is in the staff passageway. While searching for the green one, you’ll likely come across the second🐼 Will Seed, so use our🐭 guide if you’d like to get it.

After all is said and done with the terminals, go back to the big machine and activate it to get the last of the coins you need. Take them and head back to the Cashier in the lobby. Though, Sae knows you’re making progress and doesn’t want you to, so you’re in for another fight before you can continue. It’s against Norn from our tables above.

Defeating it feels good, but you learn afterwards that you can’t progress until you get Sae to recognize you in court in the real world. She’s in the middle of a case, so it’s as easy as showing up, but doing so requires an entire day outside the palace. Taꦗke care of it sooner than later, and you’ll be sent back into the palace again to progress to the next area.

High Limit Floor

Activate the safe room up here when you return before going to the counter to receive a map of this new area. If you want the third Will Seed, you can get it in this area by following our guide. Otherwise, go to the room at the back to learn you need to gather 100,000 coins to get across the bridge to the treasure. Again, you earn them by playing the 🉐games on this fl🅠oor.

House Of Darkness

When you first arrive, you can’t afford the Battle Arena, so go for the House of Darkness to begin. Activate the safe room in there j🍌ust in case you get 🃏lost ahead and go inside.

The game itself isn’t difficult, but the entire area is dark and full of shadows. Thankfully enough, Third Eye will show you where the shadows and destinations are, so make liberal use of it🉐 as you fight your way through the area.

the map of the house of darkness in niijima's casino palace

Follow the map above - the name for the g𓄧ame is incredibly fitting, as you cannot see inside. The red arrow on our map is where you begin your trek through the House of Darkness.

When you reach the door at the end, it’s unfortunately locked. There’s a vent to the left, so use it to escape this area. The door in the center of the map above is your end goal, which brings you directly to a mini-boss fight with Raja Naga from our table above.

Use the shortcut it gives you back to re𒊎ception, because you’ve now got 🥂enough coins to take on the next game.

Battle Arena

As the name suggests, you’re in for a series of fights here, but the tricky part is that Joker is the only Thief to take part, so be sure to prepare ahead of time. There’s a safe room in the Battle Arena, so activate it for eas♎y access later in case you’re defeated and need to return to try again.

The fight is against a series of progressively stronger shadows, all of which are detailed in🧸 our mini-boss table above. In order, you’ll be f🧜ighting:

  • Two Ganesha that use physical attacks.
  • Three Rangda that use curse attacks.
  • One Thor that uses Tarukaja and Megaton Raid.

Defeat them all in one shot to win the coins before going back to the manager’s floor.

Finishing Up

the scales serving as the bridge to sae's treasure in her casino palace

Sae will once again try to cheat your team, but Akechi saw it coming and knows how to counter this. Once the Thieves have accessed the treasure, Akechi has a plan for꧙ how you should proceed with꧋ formally stealing it.

You’ll be forced into the boss fight on 11/18, so use ✃the time between finishing the palace and when you take on Shadow Sa❀e to train your team and work on daily-life stuff. You’re reaching a pivotal turning point once you finish the fight against her in the coming days, so it’s a good time to tie up any loose ends and prepare for the final section of the game.
