Where To Find Akuma In Street Fighter 6

The prerequisite to unlocking Akuma as a Master requires you to progress in one of the new Missions added to World Tour. To start, head to Beat Square in Metro City and 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 to SiRN 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 that Retsu, who is located in Japan, knows about Akuma.

Travel to Genbu Temple and talk to Retsu, after which Enma's Hollow will 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 facing Ryu, 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 be Metro City to meetLuke and 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 to Jamie'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, like Blanka's Rolling Attack, which deals quite a lot of damage and ensures you are far away if the enemy blocks.

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 items to increase his Bond level. Once the Bond reaches 100, that will unlock his Outfit 2 to 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 can start by going to Metro City and changing the time to nighttime. Head to Beat Street - Hong Hu Men Area and 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 from Foo, who will guide you to strong fighters in Metro City. After fighting a few of them in different locations, you will fight Neo 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 to Ruined Lab, where you must fight several Shadaloo soldiers. After the fight, open the box in the middle to acquire Confidential Documents.

With the documents in your possession, head back to Metro City to talk to Experimental 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 the Fishing 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 of Trimming Scissors, then be sure to give them as well, as increase his level by 5.

The Money Route

If you have large sum of Zenny, you can go to Genbu Temple and buy Natto from Merchant Hawker there, which costs 4550 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, a great way to farm some quickly is by heading to the Southeast part of the map in Metro City to the Scrap Heap minigame. 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 switchto Marisa'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.
