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".

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.
