Tower of Kagutsuchi

The Tower of Kagutsuchi serves as the final dungeon for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne as the time of creation approaches.
Entering the tower will permanently lock the Demi-fiend into one of the game’s four endings (six in Maniax and all subsequent releases of the game).
==Profile==
After the events of the Diet Building and the summoning of all three Reason gods, the Demi-fiend will have a final vision of Yuko Takao, who will apologize for her weakness and return to him the empty Yahirono Himorogi, instructing him to use it at the Amala Temple. Once this was done, a vast beam of Magatsuhi was fired from the Temple at the hovering Kagutsuchi, prompting it to extend several stony, column-like "appendages," including one which kept extending until it reached the tip of the Obelisk. It drove the structure into the ground, creating a link between the Vortex World and Kagutsuchi.
Once upon entering, Kagutsuchi will again scan the Demi-fiend's heart; this act will cause the Old Man and the Lady in Black to leave the Labyrinth of Amala whether the Demi-fiend has chosen to heed the man's wish to meet at its bottom or not; if the Fifth Kalpa has not been opened before this, it will remain permanently locked.
Regardless of what Kagutsuchi finds in the Demi-fiend's heart, it will demand the handover of three stones, representatives of Reason, to grant an audience with him. Each of the Reason gods possesses one of the stones; depending on alliances and alignments, the Reason gods may hand the stone over with no fighting.
===Layout===
Floor 418 begins with a rematch against Thor in the large central chamber of the floor. Afterward, the Demi-fiend will be subjected to a teleporter maze. Head up the stairs on the west size to enter the maze. This will send the party to the northwest corner of the floor. Head east at the split and north around the passages while it turns south, continue south until the second path to the east then keep south to be teleported to a new area at the northeast corner of the floor. Head south at the split in the path, then turn south and the next branch to head through another teleport to the southeast corner of the floor. Head north and north again at the split, take the first passage heading west until the Demi-fiend reaches the wall, and there should be a Mystical Chest visible to the south that can be obtained.
After opening the chest for a Bead Chain enter the hallway on the east side of the room and go north through the hallway to be teleported to the southwest corner of the floor. There is a hidden teleport on the northeast corner of this platform. After teleporting, head north and then take the hallway heading east to be teleported again. Stay still until locating the hallway heading east just north of the Demi-fiend's position, carefully enter the hallway heading east and enter the south branch to reach a room with the next Mystical Chest which can contain a Soma. After grabbing the item, take the east hallway heading north to be teleported and head west to the teleport at the dead-end. After this teleport, head north and take the first hallway to the east and head due south at the wall until teleported again. There will be a Cache Cube to the north with 20,000 Macca. This is the last item container on the floor, head south to be teleported back to the entrance.
Take the teleporter on the west side of the stairs again to re-enter the maze. Take the east path at the split and follow it as it winds to the south, then head south until the second hallway heading east again. Follow the path south through the teleporter. Once back at the northeast corner, keep south again and south at the next split to be teleported back to the southeast corner of the floor. Head north, and then north until the first hallway to the west, then take the first path south to be teleported back to the isolated platform at the southwest corner of the floor. Take the teleporter at the northeast corner of the platform, this time heading south to reach the the dead-end with the teleporter that will take the party to the main chamber. The Demi-fiend will now be standing near the raised platform that can be lowered to create a shortcut back down. The elevator to the next floor is at the south end of the large central chamber.
