''"Though he achieved his vengeance, it was at the cost of another innocent life... It's unfortunate, but we haven't any time to grieve. We must hurry. I can sense 3 Stand users nearby... 2 of them are Dio's assassins. Why not take a stroll around the town until Joseph comes back? ...But be careful, of course." -''Steel's progress report

Story events

 * VS Empress
 * If your Stand is Cardigans, Mr. Big, or Carpenters, there will be extra dialogue when you first enter the area.
 * To continue the story, simply enter and leave the hotel 4 times, or use the door inside the hotel to take a rest - the party member you're with will gain 1FP and the event will begin automatically. After a cutscene, you'll take control of Joseph, who is being pursued by police - if you defeat any of the police officers, including the squad car, you'll get an instant Game Over. You can find Jotaro and Kakyoin outside, but when you speak to them, it'll turn out to be someone else entirely and they'll call more police. If you run around the map long enough, an event with Empress will automatically trigger - you can win this battle, but if 10 turns pass or you run away, you'll be kicked back to the map. Go to the alleyway between the Ganges and the construction site and approach the oil barrels from the right side to defeat Empress and end the event.

Party Events

 * The Ganges
 * Requirements: Jotaro or Kakyoin in the party (can only trigger with one)

 * Enemy(?) Stand User
 * On the middle-western end of the map, there's a man named Henning painting in his garage. Talk to him and attempt to rip up his blueprints to start a battle. Afterwards, all the miniature tanks and helicopters arond town will vanish, and if you're with Jotaro, you'll get to watch a short conversation between him and Henning. You'll get +1 FP with whoever you beat him with as well. Cannot be fought on Josuke's route.

 * Requirements: Defeated Joey in Singapore


 * Near the hospital southwest of the hotel, there's a doctor who'll offer to escort you to the clinic where Joseph is being examined. Choose to go with him to watch a cutscene followed by a battle, after which all the Murderdoll Lv. 5 enemies around town will disappear. (The Lv. 4s will remain.) You'll also recieve +1FP with whoever you beat them with.
