Ajna
アジュニャー
Location	Junkyard
Subarea(s)	Brutes Base

Ajna is a location in the Junkyard in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner. It is the territory of the Brutes tribe.

Gameplay

Ajna is, at first, only accessible through the Samsara Tunnels from Svadhisthana. Until the Brutes Base is cleared, the party cannot enter or exit through the main gate. After clearing the Brutes Base, Ajna can be accessed from the overworld map like any other location.

The Brutes Base is a shapeshifting building, whose current layout is determined by which of the colored floating crystals in the entrance is active, though certain rooms exist in multiple layouts, and some doors teleport the party to another point in the dungeon. Each layout contains a mini-boss that must be defeated: Catoblepas in the red layout, Niddhoggr in the blue layout and Isis in the green layout. Upon defeating all mini-bosses, the white crystal will appear in the Hall, allowing Ravana to be fought.

An alternative entrance to B5 of the Brutes Base is available from Anahata through the Samsara Tunnels, requiring that Orochi is killed on the way, allowing acquisition of the Red Ring required to fight Metatron.

Game Appearances

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner

Prior to the events of the game, the building in Ajna mysteriously appeared, then was scouted and used by the Brutes as their new base, though Varin Omega was enraged at the innermost room. The Embryon make their way through the base, eventually reaching Varin, who attacks them while invisible and explaining how he knows each member. He uses his Hunger Wave ability on Heat, but Sera stops it before he completely loses himself. Then, Varin transforms into Ravana and begins to properly fight the Embryon in both of its forms, but is ultimately defeated. His last words reveal that the inhabitants of the Junkyard were humans who died in Nirvana and Sera is somehow responsible. Sera disappears after the fight, and the rain stops, indicating the end of the war and the opening of the gates of Nirvana.

In reality, the building is a digital recreation of Sera's home.

Nomenclature

Ajna is derived from the Sanskrit आज्ञा ājñā meaning "command" or "authority". It is one of the six chakras in Tantric tradition, located in the center of the forehead.
