Once you get to the Shinjuku Ward in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, your Demon Navigator might start finding Jewels hidden around the map. These Jewels can be exchanged for some very good items to help you in the long run. In this guide, we will explore how to effectively find and utilize these Jewels to enhance your gameplay experience in SMT V.
Jewels are a significant aspect of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, serving as valuable resources that can greatly improve your Demons' abilities. As you wander through the Shinjuku Ward, you will encounter various hidden Jewels that your Navigator can uncover. Knowing how to obtain and use these Jewels can give you an edge in battles and overall game progression.
Engaging with NPCs, particularly in the Kabukicho district, is crucial for your Jewel quest. Collecting the right Jewels and exchanging them for powerful items can make a substantial difference in your gameplay strategy. So, let’s dive into the specifics of where to use Jewels, how to complete the Jewel Hunt quest, and the best ways to find these hidden treasures in SMT V.
Jewels can be used with the Attis NPC in Shinjuku, located in the Kabukicho district. This area is exclusive to the Canon of Vengeance, so you won’t be getting here if you don’t take the girl’s hand. Speaking with Attis for the first time will give you the Shinjuku Jewel Hunt quest, where he asks you to help him find a small list of jewels.
Completing Attis’ quest unlocks his shop, where you can exchange the many Jewels you find around the game for Incense items, which increase your Demon’s stats. This is useful for Demons you want to keep with you throughout the game, as they may never fall behind in damage or stats due to these items.
Alternatively, Queen Mabd will offer the same exchange in the Canon of Creation. She’s located in the Chiyoda Ward at the Ginza leyline and will function similarly, exchanging your Jewels for strengthening items you can use on your Demons.
When you start the Shinjuku Jewel Hunt quest in SMT V Vengeance, Attis asks you to find certain Jewels for him, which are:
He also suggests you find a suitable navigator to help you and gives you Attis’s Business Card item. This card allows you to recruit Decarabia as a Navigator for free. Decarabia specializes in finding Jewels and can be found next to the Jingu Naien leyline teleport.
He usually demands a payment of 20,000 Macca, but the card allows you to recruit him for free. Alice (which you can recruit as a Navigator next to where you found Attis) is quite competent in finding Jewels too, so she also works. But since this is a free way to recruit an extra Navigator, remember to pick Decarabia up regardless.
Jewels are randomly found by your Demon Navigator and start appearing once you reach the Shinjuku Ward. Commercial areas such as the Kabukicho district have higher chances of yielding Jewels. The chance to find a Jewel in any Navigator spot is random, but certain Navigators such as Decarabia and Alice have a higher chance of finding them.
This doesn’t mean that other Navigators can’t find Jewels, as I often found a few with Jack-o’-Lantern and Muu Shuwuu. It all comes down to your luck, so don’t worry if you’re not using the ideal Navigator for the job. They’re all useful in some way.
