Gameplay
Following the second visit to Manipura and the story event in Muladhara, Heat rejoins the party, having mastered whichever Mantra he had equipped and gaining levels to match the highest in the party. Mystery Castle is a dungeon containing one-way doors and several puzzles related to the story told throughout the dungeon, where the party must connect the princess and the good prince while thwarting the evil prince. The boss of the dungeon is Mick the Slug's Atma: Rahu.
After the dungeon is completed, a locked chest will appear at the entrance with two Pyro Jacks watching over it. The party must give them the Sugar Key, after which the party may fight King Frost at the top of the castle.

Following the assaults on Manipura and Muladhara by the Solids, Mick the Slug manages to fight through the Embryon to secure Sera, though they spare many of their members, including Cielo, who was told where Sera would be held: Coordinate 136.
Throughout the dungeon, the party must play along with a story told through pre-recorded transmissions in order to proceed. The story involves a princess with special powers being held captive and two princes from neighboring kingdoms who she was close with: the kind "good prince" and the brash "evil prince", the former of which she was secretly in love with, and the latter being "madly in love" with her to the point of interfering with her love for the good prince. Both princes approached the tower in order to rescue the Princess, though the evil prince challenged the Good Prince to a duel to stop him. However, due to the degraded quality of a transmission, some of the story is lost; the next intelligible scene being one where the good prince is fatally struck by the evil prince, causing the princess to fall into sadness and despair that "brought forth great destruction", causing the world to fall into a "terrible darkness".
Mick the Slug and Bat await the Embryon at the top of Mystery Castle, threatening to hurt her and offering Heat a chance to be with her in Nirvana should he kill Serph, stabbing him in the abdomen in the process as retribution for their previous fight. Heat initially appears to obey their demands and begins to fight Serph, who does not retaliate, while in reality they are faking the fight in order to retrieve Sera. Their plan is interrupted as Sera escapes from Mick's grasp and attempts to jump off the roof, then uses her power to force Mick to release her when he stops her. Bat, as Camazotz, flies down to catch her, holding her hostage from everyone else and announcing his plan to join the Brutes, but is interrupted himself by a timely attack from Cielo as Dyaus, who had escaped his confinement in Muladhara. Now alone with the Embryon, Mick attempts to sneak away, but is unsuccessful, forcing him to transform into Rahu in self-defense, but is subsequently killed.
The plot developments in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2 recontextualize the story told in the Mystery Castle as a retelling of the events that caused the Black Sun from Sera's perspective, where she is the princess, Serph Sheffield is the good prince and Heat O'Brien is the evil prince. The story that had been lost due to degradation was the twist where the good prince was truly evil and the evil prince was truly good, mirroring the dissonance between how Sheffield and O'Brien presented themselves to Sera and their true intentions.
