Bank Entrance

The entrance is blocked up and you won’t be able to enter it. Head to the right and check the Pig Statue.

Front Hall

Head towards the left of the reception area and you will see that there is an elevator but it is controlled elsewhere. Head up to 2F and look for the vent above the cupboard to get inside the control room area.

Once you get the key card, head to the other locked room that you are unable to access before. Inside the room, jump down the small opening and the elevator will moved.

Banker Passageway

From here onward, you will need to avoid security camera. Use your third eye ability to look out for blind spot that you can take.

Head over to the left of the passageway first. Destroy the first electrical box to deactivate security camera.

Move on north and then south to the small room in at the end of the hallway and you will find the two more electrical boxes to destroy (see location below).

Take the stairs Northwest to cross over to the other side. You will overheard the guard mentioning two keys.

Head south to find another electrical box to destroy.

Head down the stairs and you will see the Vault entrance. Ignore it for now and turn head east and you will be noticed that your hook is glowing. Hook yourself up.

Get the treasure first before heading down to the Will Seed Room.

Now go back to where the Vault door is and head west this time. Look at the below map for where the electrical boxes are located.

Laundering Office

The door to the next section is locked. Head down to the end of the path and there is a vent that you can crawl through.

Head south first as there is a Will Seed Room below. Use your Third Eye Ability to find the path to the Will Seed Room.

From the Will Seed Room, you can hook all the way to the top floor. In the middle platform, look up and you will find a place to hook. Walk along the ledge and jump down. The treasure chest contains the rare Black Kogatana.

Now head back towards the elevator area that you can see from your mini map. Take the elevator down and move to the next room to listen to Kaneshiro conversation with the guards and battle the mini boss.

Samurai Killer

Take down the 2 shadow first
Floodbringer Demon
- Weak to Freila
Tornado Devil
- Weak to Electric
- absorb Wind
The Samurai Killer has no weakness. Try to inflict ailment on him and use technical attack to know him down.
The battle will be easy if you can knock them down and use an all out of attack

Take note of the code that Kaneshiro dropped

R=C=0
I = 1
H = 2

Take the elevator to the next area.

Underground Vault

This room is filled with code puzzle.

Check the PIN Entry Panel at the entrance. RICH = 0102

You will need to follow the steps next to get the PIN and unlock the Vault:

Vault 1F – First Control Room [P=1]
Vault 1F – Lower level [E=9 ; A=3]
Vault 1F – Enter REAP = 0931
Vault 2F – Room filled with laser barrier. Use the Vent and jump on on top of the shelves to reach the other end of the room. [U=A]
Vault 2F – Same room as the PIN entry Panel [G=P]
Vault 2F – Enter HUGE = 2319

Detailed video guide is below:

After this, you will need to battle a mini boss back in the Underground Vault. After the battle, press the left button on the panel, enter the opened area, press left button again to open the new route. Head in and you will find a strong shadow guarding the last Will Seed Room. Use ice attack and all out attack to take him down.

Head back to the second panel and press the button again. Go back and press the button on the first panel. You can now head down to Vault 3F.

You will find a PIN panel requesting for GOLD. If you want to skip exploring the area, just key in GOLD=1841. Otherwise, follow the below:

Center Room – O+H=10
End of the Area – L=U+G , D=G

See the video walkthrough below for Vault 3F

As the video time taken for PS4 is limited, for remaining steps, don’t bother with the golden door as there is nothing inside worth the 20,000 yen. It’s just a shortcut which you can enter from the other way. Just head to the panel to key in the password for GOLD.

Go back to the Underground Vault and take the elevator down.

Vault Center

You will enter the Vault Center for a cut scene. After which, go back to Safe Room to save and head back to send your calling card.

Route to Treasure is now secured!

Junya Bael Kaneshiro

Battle Tactic

Unlike Persona 5, you will face with Piggytron right from the start of the battle.
Use debuff on Piggytron to reduce its defense and attack.
There are no elemental weakness that I have discovered on Piggytron so use your best attack on it.
Beware of its skill such as Metabolic Wave and Missile Party will deal huge damage to whole party
When Piggytron HP is reduced significantly, Kaneshiro will use its Super VIP form. Guard against the March of the Piggy that will be use in his next turn Otherwise, throw any valuable item at him when Mona suggest an alternative method and he will stop spinning to loot it.
The 2nd Phase of the Battle involves Kaneshiro and his two minions. The fastest way to end this is to cast sleep on the two minions and use single attack on Kaneshiro.
When his HP is reduced significantly, he will use Make it Rain that will deal massive damage to the whole party. However when his HP is too low, he ran out of money and the two minions will automatically leave the battle as their contract with him expired (lol).
