Shin Megami Tensei 5: All Aogami Essence locations revealed

The “Essence" system in Shin Megami Tensei 5 is an excellent way of empowering both the demons in the party as well as the Nahobino.

Demon Essences are an integral part of the fusion system and allow players to teach the resulting demon skills which they otherwise would not learn through leveling up.

While some Demon Essences are great for creating a well-balanced party, Aogami Essence, on the other hand, is primarily used to help the Nahobino scale, and give it exclusive skills to make difficult encounters significantly easier.

However, it’s not easy to come across Aogami Essences in Shin Megami Tensei 5, and the open-world structure makes it quite difficult to obtain these highly coveted power-ups.

It’s important to note that hunting Treasure Boxes is not the only way to obtain Aogami Essence. While they are primarily acquired like this, the alternate method that players can employ is via the Quest Navigator.

The navigator at certain times can lead the Nahobnio to an Aogami Essence. However, it’s a rare occurrence and highly unreliable.
