Saki Mitama is the yellow/golden variant of the Mitamas in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance. You will either find them out in the world or encounter them through the Quest Navigators while interacting with points of interest.

Once beaten they will drop:

  • Simple Undershirt: sold for 2500 Macca
  • Mouse Mummy: sold for 4000 Macca

You will be able to sell these to Gustave. However, do keep in mind that Mitamas have randomized weaknesses. So make sure you are stocked up on Spy Glass when target-farming the Saki Mitama.

2) Obtain and sell Relics

As you explore Da’at you will come across run-down vending machines. Once you interact with them, you will be able to gain Relics of the Old World like Soda, Soup Cans, and Video Game Consoles. 

You will be able to sell all of them to Gustave at the Cadaver’s Hollow. The later you go into the narrative the more valuable Relics you will obtain.
