There are a total of 16 different Demon Navigators in Vengeance, almost triple the amount found in the original game. Some of these navigators can be acquired through natural progression in the main campaign, while others require specific side quests to unlock. Each navigator has unique specialties that can aid players in various aspects of the game.
Amanozako is your tutorial Navigator and automatically follows you through different moments of the game. She’s acquired automatically and will be stationed at Nagatcho once you complete the Minato Ward. You lose access to her once you unlock her as a Demon in “The Destined Leader” side quest.
Mermaid is unlocked after finishing the side-quests “The Cursed Mermaids” and “The Demon of the Spring”. These two quests involve defeating Pazuzu and Anahita, respectively. She’s available at the Tokyo Tower leyline once you complete this.
Ippon-Datara can be recruited after reaching the Tokyo Diet Building for the first time. Climb up from the back of the building (starting east of the Aogami Husk) until you reach him. He’ll promptly offer to follow you without a quest, and will be waiting on the same leyline as Amanozako for you.
