『 Have you come for your trial, sinners? Allow me to judge you. 』

Immediately upon entering, thick black nooses drop down and wrap themselves around your neck, pulling you up high into the air. The longer you hesitate and struggle to cut the ropes, the bigger your fall and the harsher your descent to the iron hot ground will be.

『 I am the Daitengu, Asaka-no-Mikoto, the embodiment of death. Repent or suffer. 』

For those without a resistance to fire, you'd find yourself having a difficult time on the barren scalding floors. You'd have to find a way to stay off the ground or risk your shoes melting and catching on fire. Or, if you're unfortunate enough and touch the floor with direct skin contact, you'd immediately suffer painful burns. Staying off the ground is a task that is easier said than done, however, as thin black threads shoot out from seemingly nowhere, ensnaring anyone who dares to stay still for a few seconds.

The longer you stay trapped, the weaker and sicker you feel as you are overwhelmed with the same toxins that ran through the first floor's waters. Pulling on the threads will only make them curl up tighter around your limbs, so use a Persona or a sharp blade to cut through before you succumb to the poison. However, the curse of the threads does not simply end there. Even if you cut through the threads and free yourself, you'd find dark black lines across your clothing and skin that mark you and are the targets of the Daitengu's sword. Cover up your markings or wash them away before you're struck down.

『 No matter what you do, your sins will always remain. 』

The narrow cylindrical-shaped room makes it difficult to maneuver around, avoiding the Daitengu, his threads, and the scorching floor. The only way to properly move is by going up. The ceiling seems nonexistent and you'd be able to properly avoid the hazards in this hell. Find someone or a Persona that can fly to increase your mobility. As the Daitengu fights solely with his weapons, using his sword to strike or his fan to send powerful gusts of wind that knock people back to the ground, disarming him will be the easiest way to defeat him. Take away his possessions and leave him vulnerable to initiate an all-out-attack.

『 ... gone, gone gone all the way over... everyone gone to the other shore... enlightenment... 』

He melts away into darkness. All that remains is his fan, black feathers, and an ofuda. It is inscribed with the Daitengu's name.
