How to Complete The Demon of the Spring Sidequest in Shin Megami Tensei V

While Da’at is a dangerous place where dangerous demons roam, not every demon you will meet in Shin Megami Tensei V is out for blood. Some will ask for your help solving their troubles, and they will reward you handsomely if you do manage to help them.

Here’s how to help the Mermaid in The Demon of the Spring sidequest and what you get for helping her.

How to Complete The Demon of the Spring Sidequest in Shin Megami Tensei V

The Demon of the Spring sidequest can be started by talking with the Mermaid in the Minato ward. She can be found in the location marked on the map above.

The Mermaid will ask you to find Anahita, who is the only one that can lift the curse and help her brethren. To find Anahita, you will have to head to the location marked on the map below, which can be reached by getting to the Kamiyacho Leyline Fount. Here, get to the highest possible point to the south of the Fount and search the area to find a jumping point that can be used to reach the location where Anahita is.

After reaching Anahita, she will ask you to fight her, and if you win, she will lift the curse. She is weak against Fire and Electric attacks, so make sure to bring demons that can use Agi and Zio skills to exploit her weaknesses. She uses Ice and Light attacks, so if you have demons resistant to these elements, bring them to make her lose a few turns as well.

After you defeat Anahita, head back to the Mermaid to complete the quest and receive the Femme Talisman and 1000 EXP as reward. From now on, you will also be able to fuse Anahita.
