Magic from the East

By
Matt Chard

Magic from the East is a Subquest in Shin Megami Tensei V. Most Subquests will reward you with a large amount of experience, some Macca, and then you’ll receive an item of sorts. Most of the time, it’ll be a Talisman which allows you to have access to the different Magatsuhi skills in the game.

Baphomet needs the power from the Inugami Heads.

Recommended Level Location Rewards
22+ Baphomet, warehouse northwest of the Container Yard Leyline in Shinagawa. Vile Talisman, Mirage Gems x4 on repeat.

Find 5 Inugami Heads for Baphomet.

How to start Magic from the East

In order to start this Subquest, teleport to the Container Yard Leyline, and follow the path north until you reach the end. Turn to your west, and you’ll notice a row of warehouses. The warehouse you want is the one at the back furthest to the north. To get there, jump onto the roof of the second to last warehouse, and drop to the floor. Turn north, and enter the last warehouse, where you’ll see the quest giver Baphomet waiting at the back. It appears he’s been interested in oriental hexing as of late, and he wants you to help him. He needs 5….Inugami Heads as they are infused with strong hexing powers. Agree to help him, and you’ll need to find yourself some Inugami.

You can find Baphomet hiding at the back of the warehouse northwest of the Container Yard Leyline.

Where to find Inugami’s

You’ll get one head for each Inugami defeated in battle. This doesn’t have to be five separate battles, just battles with Inugami in the fight, so if you fought a battle which had two Inugami’s, you’d receive two heads. You can find Inugami’s all over Shinagawa, but there is a spawn of two Inugami’s right near the quest. Exit the warehouse, and jump on to the warehouse to the west, then drop to find two Inugami’s roaming the area.

The green arrows determine the path to get to the Inugami’s.

Defeat them, then use your Return Pillar to save the game. Go into the system menu and reload your game to respawn the enemies, and defeat them again. Keep this up until you have all the heads. You don’t have to do this method, and you can fight them whilst traversing the area, but this way saves you time having to run around the area.

Recommended Party

Although you can do this with any party as they’re not that difficult to defeat. They’re weak to Ice, and have a Fire Breath attack, so this party is great against them. When you have all the Inugami Heads, go back to Baphomet to turn them in and complete the quest. You can repeat this quest, which’ll reward you with 4 Mirage Gems for every set of 5 Inugami Heads you turn in.
