Chapter 1: Scrambling for Answers

Thule, the rift and a runaway train, then Shibuya and the tunnels below: the first Gates of Hell visit and the G-Pillar, three Niflheims, an angel portal, the first Medallion Shard and three Umbran Tears.

Chapter 1 starts on the island of Thule, passes through the rift of Ginnungagap and a runaway train, and ends in Shibuya and the tunnels under its streets. Gomorrah is already yours; Madama Butterfly can be summoned from the rift on, and the G-Pillar is handed over at the chapter's Gates of Hell gramophone, the first shop stop of the run. Off the path wait three Niflheims (purple portals with a set task), one golden angel portal, a Medallion Shard and the chapter's three Umbran Tears of Blood. Nothing here needs a later demon or weapon. Finish the chapter before you quit: a missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.

One go at the train and the ride

The portal at the far end of the rift drops you into a moving train, and from there the chapter runs without a break to Shibuya: a fight inside the train, a ride on Gomorrah down through falling buildings, then an Asperatus. Two Bewitchments are earned on the way, five Stratus killed inside the train and three obstacles smashed on the ride, and this run gives one attempt at each. A miss can be made up by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.

Chapter 1 Verse 5: train car and Gomorrah slideQuest step
Location
Chapter 1 · Verse 5 – After the Verse 4 fight, follow the path to its end portal; you land inside a moving train and Stratus attack at once.
