Zone 8 — Yomi's Heart (黄泉の核)
Yomi’s Heart (黄泉の核) is zone 8 of Yomi no Sho, designed for characters between level 48 and level 99.
The heart of Yomi itself. The Yomotsu-shikome — the hags of the underworld — and the shade of Izanami herself drift here. This is the endgame: enemies with 800+ base HP, 80+ base ATK, and rewards to match. Only the well-geared survive.
Level range
Section titled “Level range”Recommended: levels 48–99. You can travel here as soon as you reach level 48, but the boss of stage 10 will be challenging until you’re closer to level 99. Pushing into this zone below level 48 is possible but not recommended — the enemies’ base stats assume level-48 gear.
Enemies
Section titled “Enemies”Two enemy archetypes spawn in this zone. Each fight picks one at random. Both archetypes use the same stage scaling and boss rules (see Bestiary for details).
| Enemy | JP | Emoji | HP | ATK | DEF | SPD | Crit | XP mult | Gold mult |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yomotsu-shikome | 黄泉醜女 | 🩸 | 820 | 78 | 28 | 20 | 18% | ×4.0 | ×3.5 |
| Izanami Shade | 伊弉冉影 | 👑 | 1200 | 92 | 32 | 18 | 22% | ×5.0 | ×4.5 |
Boss (stage 10)
Section titled “Boss (stage 10)”Every 10th stage is a boss fight. The boss is the same archetype as the rest of the zone, but with significantly inflated stats:
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| HP, ATK, DEF | ×3 (vs. base) |
| SPD | ×1.2 (vs. base) |
| Crit | ×1.5 (vs. base) |
| XP reward | ×5 |
| Gold reward | ×5 |
| Name suffix | ”— Warlord” (English) / “・名将” (Japanese) |
At stage 10, enemies are also scaled by the stage multiplier of 1.72×. So a stage-10 boss’s actual stats are roughly:
| Boss | Base HP | Stage 10 HP (with boss mod) | Base ATK | Stage 10 ATK (with boss mod) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yomotsu-shikome — Warlord | 820 | ~4231 | 78 | ~402 |
| Izanami Shade — Warlord | 1200 | ~6192 | 92 | ~475 |
Every combat victory has a 20% chance to roll an item drop. The dropped item is rolled from the game’s full item pool, but only items with minZone <= current zone are eligible. See Drop Rates for the full rarity weights.
In zone 8, the eligible items are those with minZone <= 8. This includes:
- All common items (minZone 1–8)
- All rare items (minZone 2–8)
- Some epic items (minZone 3–8)
- Some legendary items (minZone 7–8)
See the Items Index for the full list of items that can drop here.

Section titled “NPCs in this zone”No NPCs live in this zone. Return to Yomi Town for merchant/healer/quest services.
Strategy
Section titled “Strategy”The hardest zone in the game. The Yomotsu-shikome has 820 base HP, 78 ATK, 28 DEF, 20% crit. The Izanami Shade has 1200 HP, 92 ATK, 32 DEF, 22% crit. Both are endgame threats. You should be level 50+ with full legendary gear before attempting stage 10 here. The rewards, however, are the best in the game — ×5 XP and gold from the boss, plus the highest-tier drops.
Quests that involve this zone
Section titled “Quests that involve this zone”No specific quests involve this zone, but the kill-wildcard quests (e.g. “Crimson Cleansing”) can be progressed here.
