Where To Find Akuma In Street Fighter 6
The prerequisite tounlocking Akuma as a Masterrequires you to progress in one of the new Missions added to World Tour. To start, head to Beat Square inMetro Cityand change the time to daytime. From here, head south to the “Master of the Styles” Mission marker on the map. Upon arriving, you will find a poster.
Proceed inside the SiRN building. After talking toSiRN Staff Liu, you will have to fight three Copy Fighters and complete different objectives of performing specific Special Attacks. Once you have collected the three data chips, hand them over to Liu, who will tell you thatRetsu, who is located in Japan, knows about Akuma.
Travel toGenbu Templeand talk to Retsu, after whichEnma’s Hollowwill open up on the World Map. Here, you will see a cutscene of Akuma, and he will disappear. Go to Genbu Temple and talk to Retsu about your recent encounter with Akuma. Go back to Enma’s Hollow after talking to Retsu, where you will face Akuma in a fight.
After his health is reduced to half, Akuma will disappear again. Make your way back to Genbu Temple and talk to Ryu to trigger the fight with him. After facingRyu, go back to Enma’s Hollow to face Akuma for the second time. This fight will end in the same way as before, and Akuma will disappear.
Your next destination will beMetro City to meetLukeand fight with him. After the fight, go back to Enma’s Hollow to fight Akuma for real this time. Once you defeat him, a cutscene will play out, and you will become his Student.
Akuma, Ryu, and Luke are all at level 80 in their fights. If you are under-leveled, it is best to level up or go for a safer approach. Most NPCs can be easily defeated by switching toJamie’s Fighting Style and spamming Heavy Punch over and over again. There are also quite a lot of Special Moves that can be used at a distance, likeBlanka’s Rolling Attack, which deals quite a lot of damage and ensures you are far away if the enemy blocks.
How To Get Akuma’s Second Outfit In Street Fighter 6
Giving Akuma Gifts
After successfully enrolling as a student under Akuma, you will have the option to talk to him at Enma’s Hollow. Here, you can Gift him all sorts of itemsto increase his Bond level.Once the Bond reaches 100, that will unlock his Outfit 2to be used in Casual, Ranked, or Battle Hub Matches.
Acquiring Fishing Hook For Akuma
Most Gifts will only increase 1 Bond, which isn’t very efficient. To level up Akuma’s bond faster, you’re able to start by going to Metro City and changing the time to nighttime. Head toBeat Street - Hong Hu Men Areaand go north of the map to reach the “The Busybody Decoy” Mission Marker. Talking to the NPC here will start a mission.
You will get several texts fromFoo, who will guide you to strong fighters in Metro City. After fighting a few of them in different locations, you will fightNeo AS Surveyor, completing this mission.
Head back to the NPC that started the previous mission to start the “Into The Shadows in Shadaloo” mission. Talk to him another time, and you will be transported toRuined Lab, where you must fight several Shadaloo soldiers. After the fight, open the box in the middle to acquireConfidential Documents.
With the documents in your possession, head back to Metro City to talk toExperimental Subject Lee. Make sure that it is nighttime; otherwise, he will not spawn. Talk to him, and this will mark the end of the mission, rewarding you with theFishing Hook. Go back to Enma’s Hollow and gift this item to Akuma to increase his Bond level by 40. If you are in possession ofTrimming Scissors, then be sure to give them as well, as increase his level by 5.
The Money Route
If you have large sum ofZenny, you may go to Genbu Temple and buyNattofrom Merchant Hawker there, which costs4550 Zenny. These increase Akuma’s Bond by 2 each, so you will need 50 of them to max out his bond. Even if you gift him the Fishing Hook, Nattos are a great way to take that 40 UP all the way to 100.
If you are low on Zenny, agreat way to farm somequickly is by heading to the Southeast part of the map in Metro City to theScrap Heapminigame. The highest difficulty can give you 15,000 Zenny in less than 30 seconds. The hard mode can take quite some time if you are new to farming it. A great strategy is to switchtoMarisa’s Fighting Style and starting the fight with four heavy punches followed by four Down Heavy Kicks and then Heavy Punches till the Truck is destroyed. This method will guarantee a lot of Zenny per run.
