Mitamas can be encountered in the wild, in the base Shin Megami Tensei 5 game, however you will need to hit them to initiate an encounter. As an alternative, you can even locate one by engaging with the points of interest that your quest navigator directs you to. During the initial stages of the game, Amanozako will serve as your navigator, guiding you to certain Mitana locations where engaging with them may provide precious drops.

A point to note is that Vengeance entitles you to access all three of the SMT5 DLC packs, with which one may raise the frequency at which Mitamas spawn. You can adjust the frequency of their spawns and select which specific Mitama to encounter more frequently under the General Options tab on the main menu. This will assist you in focus-farming a specific resource.

No matter whatever Mitama-type you are farming, once the confrontation starts, their weakness will be randomly assigned. In addition, they will stop all damage kinds other than Almighty. It is recommended that you always have an abundance of Spy Glass as they will not only assist in defeating bosses, but it will also greatly simplify farming Mitama.

Gustave at Cadaver's Hollow sells spy glasses for 100 Macca apiece which can be used on a Mitama that you come across and initiate a fight with. Their weakness will become apparent, and you will have to keep giving turns to the party demon with that particular damage type in order to beat that Mitama.

Making use of Almighty skills

Make use of the Almighty skills as another alternative method of eliminating Mitama. Although Mitamas are immune to the Almighty attack type, you will need to deal more than one hit to eliminate them if you intend to avoid taking advantage of their vulnerability. Pretas can be recruited early in the game who once leveled up can one-shot any Mitama and gain access to the Almighty talent Life Drain.

Making use of Pierce effect skills

You may acquire abilities that have a pierce effect as you go through the story and defeat stronger enemies. When dealing damage, abilities with the pierce trait disregard all enemy resistances. Therefore, if a Force ability has the pierce characteristic, it will do full damage to a Mitama even if it is immune to Force damage.

Mitamas are regarded as a unique type of adversary because similar to SMT5, they cannot be recruited in Vengeance. They will just not respond to you when you approach them and use the "Talk" option. Therefore, they are only a certain enemy archetype, which is farmable for resources.
