My first experience with Digimon Adventure was captivating, particularly during the arc featuring Etemon and the emergence of the first Ultimate digivolutions. Fast forward to today, and I’m thrilled to assist Etemon once again while playing the vibrant Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
As you dive into the endgame, you’ll uncover a side quest aptly titled All Eyes on Me!. Similar to other intriguing missions in the game, such as Hiroko Sagisaka’s Moniker and Dr. Kuga’s Core Dump, this quest requires explorers to navigate through Shinjuku and Akihabara without precise objective markers displayed on the minimap. It’s up to the dedicated ADAMAS agents to hunt down this digital diva.
But fear not! I’m here to guide you through every step of locating Etemon’s Soul Bits in Digimon Story: Time Stranger. No need for a MetalGreymon; I’m going into battle with my trusty Alphamon.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #1
Shinjuku: A Certain Back Alley
Your journey begins in the back alley of Shinjuku. Head straight there to encounter your first Etemon. Make sure to initiate a DigiAttack for it to count, then exit south towards the shopping district.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #2
Shinjuku: East Shopping District
Continue forward and you’ll spot another Etemon shopping for groceries. Engage him, then snag a taxi to Higashi-Shinjuku: Vision Square.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #3
Higashi-Shinjuku: Vision Square
The next Etemon can be found MCing at the middle of the square. Burst his bubble with a Digital Attack and then head down the nearby stairs.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #4
Shinjuku Underground Town: Subroad
Venture a bit further to find another Etemon ready to drop a mic. Choose the southern exit to delve deeper.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #5
Marunonaka Line: Shinjuku Station
Enter the station using your metro pass and descend the stairs. Your next Etemon is lounging in the northern section, just the way many of us wish to be right now.
Return to the Subroad area and take the east exit to arrive at the Promenade.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #6
Shinjuku Underground: Promenade
Punch this Etemon and head immediately east once again.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #7
Shinjuku Station: East Gate
You will come across another Etemon here. After you take him down, catch the nearby metro to Higashi-Shinjuku: Second Avenue.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #8
Higashi-Shinjuku: Koshu-Kaido Intersection
Proceed a little further to discover an Etemon suspended from a tree. Before transitioning to the next area, head north and locate a guard blocking your path—a coffee shop entrance is just west of him. Go inside.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #9
Higashi-Shinjuku: Coffee Shop
Inside, Etemon is ordering a latte—time to disrupt his peace with an attack!
Exit the coffee shop and select the second western exit from the top (not the stairs).
Etemon’s Soul Bit #10
Seibu-Shinjuku: Overbridge Intersection
Keep moving to find an Etemon hanging around inside the tunnel. Continue running and take the northeastern exit toward the government building.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #11
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building: Exterior
Here, Etemon could be seen either promoting government policies or protesting—let your imagination run wild.
Again, take the northeastern exit towards Waterfall Plaza.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #12
Shinjuku Park: Waterfall Plaza
This plaza features trees and surprise! Etemon is hanging in one again. From here, exit east to reach the Community Forest, which oddly lacks any monkey-like Digimon. Make your way to the underground waterway.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #13
Shinjuku Underground Waterway: South Block
In the underground layer, eliminate any unsuspecting Rookie Digimon as you explore the southeastern block to locate another Etemon.
As the northeast exit is blocked, you will need to exit the waterway, catch a cab, and return to Shinjuku’s Back Alley. Utilize the northeastern entrance manhole to access the Waterway North Block.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #14
Shinjuku Underground Waterway: North Block
Discover an Etemon floating in the pristine waters, though a gate will prevent direct access from the west. Navigate around to reach him, then continue east to the Underground Reservoir.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #15
Shinjuku Underground Reservoir
You’ll find Etemon near the upper western exit. After taking him out, the quickest route back is through the In-Between Theater, followed by a time jump back to Shinjuku.
It’s now time to grab a taxi and head to Akihabara to track down the final two Etemon Soul Bits.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #16
Akihabara Station: Electric Town South Exit
Make your way up to find Etemon celebrating like a true tourist next to a maid café. Time to end the show!
Head north to access Akihabara’s back alley.
Etemon’s Soul Bit #17
Akihabara: A Certain Back Alley
In this specific back alley—why the distinction?—look near the cab entrance to spot Etemon occupying a parking space.
Congratulations, Agent! You have successfully located all the Etemon Soul Bits. Now, head back to the In-Between Theater to claim your rewards.
All Eyes on Me! Rewards
Upon entering the theater, you will earn the All Eyes on Me! bronze trophy along with the usual side mission rewards. You’ll also receive a noteworthy—though situational—accessory.
- 10, 000 Reward Money
- 150 Anomaly Points
- Etemon’s Bling (Reduces damage from Virus Attribute Digimon by 30%.)
- x6 Friendship S
Even though Etemon’s Bling may not be effective in every confrontation, it proves useful against the majority of villains, who conveniently tend to be Virus types. However, it’s prudent to consider your upcoming battles as it may occupy a valuable slot for other equipment.
