Raids sit at the top of Devil Hunter’s difficulty curve. They demand high stats, strong weapons, good contracts, and usually a coordinated group, but they also hand out some of the best contracts, fragments, and Yen in the game.
There are currently three raids: Zombie Devil, Eternity Devil, and Katana Man. Each has a fixed respawn timer, a defined location, and its own drop table with some raid‑exclusive items.
All Devil Hunter raids, locations, and respawn timers
| Raid | Location | Approx. respawn | Baseline rewards | Notable rare drops | XP / Yen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zombie Devil Raid | Graveyard District | Every 30 minutes | Lootbox, Accessory Lootbox | Zombie Devil Contract (10%), Rotblade, Undead Sickles, Fleshbreaker, Brainsplasher, Rot and Ruin (each 10%) | 800 XP / 40,000 Yen |
| Eternity Devil Raid | Secret Area (Hotel) | Every 45 minutes | Lootbox, Accessory Lootbox | High Yen & XP; no confirmed exclusive contract | 900 XP / 50,000 Yen |
| Katana Man Raid | Samurai Temple (Hidden) | Every 60 minutes | Lootbox, Accessory Lootbox | Ghost Devil Contract (10%), Katana Fragment, Sealed World, Sealed Fang, Katana Man Cap, Iron Oath Ring, Street Justice Rope (each 10%) | 1,200 XP / 80,000 Yen |
All three raids are available from the moment you can play Devil Hunter, but the difficulty ramps up sharply from Zombie to Katana Man. For most players, it makes sense to treat Zombie as the entry point, Eternity as a mid‑game Yen and XP farm, and Katana Man as late‑game content.
How to find raids in Devil Hunter
Raids are tied to specific locations on the open world map rather than being queued from a menu, but the game does provide built‑in navigation.
Step 1: Move your character outside the Public Safety HQ building in the main city area. Raids do not appear as joinable instances while you are deep inside HQ interiors.
Step 2: Press N on your keyboard to open your in‑game phone. This interface overlays your screen and adds markers for active raids.
Step 3: Look for raid indicators that appear on your HUD once the phone is open. Each icon corresponds to one of the three raids currently in rotation.
Step 4: Follow the direction of the indicator on foot or with whatever movement tools your build supports until you reach the glowing raid entrance at the listed location.
For coordination with other players, the official Devil Hunter Discord server is the main place people organize groups before the timers reset.
Zombie Devil Raid (Graveyard District)
The Zombie Devil Raid is the most accessible raid in the game. It still hits harder than open‑world devils, but its mechanics and damage checks are tuned so that a well‑built early or mid‑game hunter can handle it, especially in a group.
Zombie Devil Raid location and timer
- Location: Graveyard District.
- Respawn: roughly every 30 minutes once the boss has been defeated.
- Recommended stage: early‑ to mid‑game, once you have a solid weapon and at least one useful contract.
The Graveyard District is a distinct zone, so once the raid marker points you there, you are looking for a raid door rather than a random field event.
Zombie Devil Raid rewards and drops
Clearing the raid grants a fixed Yen and XP payout, plus a set of rolls on its loot table.
- Guaranteed economy rewards: 40,000 Yen and 800 XP.
- Lootboxes: one Default Lootbox and one Accessory Lootbox, each with a chance to be Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Legendary.
- Contract: Zombie Devil Contract with a 10% drop rate.
- Weapons (each at 10%): Rotblade, Undead Sickles, Fleshbreaker, Brainsplasher, Rot and Ruin. Each weapon requires 30 proficiency in its category to equip.
Drop chances are independent, so you can walk away with multiple items in a single clear or hit several runs in a row with only Yen, XP, and boxes.
How hard is Zombie Devil Raid?
On the game’s internal scale, the raid lands around medium difficulty. In practice, the fight is manageable solo with a strong build, but there are clear advantages to running it with a small team using area‑of‑effect attacks to thin waves quickly.
For solo runs, using the Sea Cucumber Devil contract is a common approach. Its acid projectiles help clear clustered enemies and give you safe damage windows without forcing you into melee range.
Eternity Devil Raid (Secret hotel area)
The Eternity Devil Raid shifts the emphasis from raw lethality to endurance. It is classed as a mid‑game raid and is structurally easier than Katana Man, but fights can be lengthy without coordinated damage.
Eternity Devil Raid location and timer
- Location: a Secret Area behind the in‑game hotel raid, reached by following the hotel corridors to the Eternity Devil arena.
- Respawn: around every 45 minutes.
- Recommended stage: mid‑game with at least one high‑impact contract and decent weapons.
The unique quirk of this raid is that the Eternity Devil does not permanently kill you. You are effectively guaranteed to clear it if you keep re‑engaging, which makes it mechanically forgiving but time‑consuming.
Eternity Devil Raid rewards and drops
- Guaranteed economy rewards: 50,000 Yen and 900 XP.
- Lootboxes: one Lootbox and one Accessory Lootbox, each rolling from Common to Legendary.
There is no confirmed exclusive contract tied directly to Eternity in the raid drop list at the moment. Its main value is efficient Yen and XP farming once your build can clear it quickly, especially in a group.
How hard is Eternity Devil Raid?
In terms of actual fail states the raid is forgiving, since you are not erased from the run by a single mistake. The main challenge is the boss’s health pool and the time it takes to chip it down.
Group play helps dramatically here. Coordinated players can rotate cooldowns, keep pressure up, and cut the clear time down to something closer to Zombie Devil while still pocketing more Yen and XP per run.
Katana Man Raid (Samurai Temple)
The Katana Man Raid sits at the end of the current raid ladder. It is deliberately punishing, aimed at players with late‑game stats, optimized clans, and weapon skills they can execute under pressure.
Katana Man Raid location and timer
- Location: Samurai Temple, a hidden area accessible once you follow the raid indicator to the temple entrance.
- Respawn: roughly every 60 minutes after completion.
- Recommended stage: late‑game, ideally as a First Class Hunter with strong weapons, contracts, and weapon skills.
The Samurai Temple environment mirrors the boss’s theme: tight spaces, quick patterns, and room for very few mistakes. It is the least forgiving raid for players attempting to solo it.
Katana Man Raid rewards and drops
Katana Man has the deepest unique loot pool in the game so far.
- Guaranteed economy rewards: 80,000 Yen and 1,200 XP.
- Lootboxes: one Lootbox and one Accessory Lootbox (Common to Legendary).
- Contract: Ghost Devil Contract at a 10% drop rate.
- Materials and weapons (10% each): Katana Fragment, Sealed World (medium sword), Sealed Fang (heavy great weapon).
- Accessories (10% each): Katana Man Cap, Iron Oath Ring, Street Justice Rope. Iron Oath Ring reduces hybrid drain, while Street Justice Rope boosts Medium Weapon M1 damage by 5%.
Many late‑game builds revolve around items from this table. The Katana Fragment is also a core component for certain hybrid forms and weapon setups, which is why players grind this raid even after they have the Ghost Devil Contract.
How hard is Katana Man Raid?
Katana Man sits at the “very hard” end of the difficulty spectrum. The boss has several attack patterns that can one‑shot or two‑shot under‑geared or inattentive players, forcing you to read animations and time dodges precisely.
For that reason, most players tackle this raid as a coordinated group. Strong defensive contracts, such as Future Devil, which enables counters and can grant a chance to auto‑dodge, pair extremely well with aggressive weapon skills in this fight.
Clan choice also matters. Rerolling your Devil Hunter Clan until you land on one that supports your weapon type and preferred contract setup makes a noticeable difference to survivability and damage output over the course of the raid.
How raid contracts tie into Devil Hunter’s contract system
Raids are tightly linked to Devil Hunter’s contract system. Contracts are agreements between your human character and devils that grant powerful abilities in exchange for sacrifices like body parts, items, or lifespan. Fiend characters cannot sign contracts, so all raid contract interactions assume a human character.
Several key contracts either drop from or interact with raids:
- Zombie Devil Contract: obtained from the Zombie Devil Raid at a 10% drop rate. It unlocks zombie‑themed abilities and is also a source of zombie flesh used for crafting and certain talents.
- Ghost Devil Contract: has a 10% chance to drop from completing the Katana Man Raid. It lets you summon the Ghost Devil’s arm to grab and slam enemies from behind. With maximum favor, you can also trigger the Ghost Devil when you are knocked out to counterattack an opponent.
- Future Devil Contract: unlocked on Floor Zero of Headquarters by offering 30 Devil Eyes and completing a rhythm minigame. It provides a counter mechanic that, after three successful counters in a row, can reward you with a small chance to auto‑dodge an incoming hit. This is particularly valuable in raids with lethal single attacks, such as Katana Man.
Other contracts, such as Fox, Snake, or Mol,d are not strictly raid‑exclusive but can complement raid play, offering area damage, crowd control, or burst damage options depending on your build and the encounter.
Recommended progression and farming strategy
Because spawn timers, drop rates, and difficulty all vary, it helps to treat raids as part of a broader progression loop rather than isolated fights.
- Start with Zombie Devil Raid once your Public Safety HQ rank and stats feel comfortable in regular missions. Use it to learn raid pacing, earn your first raid contract, and pick up Rot‑series weapons.
- Transition into Eternity Devil Raid as your damage output improves. Lean on its guaranteed completion and better Yen/XP ratio to push your rank, upgrade weapons, and experiment with more expensive contracts and accessories.
- Prepare specifically for Katana Man by farming contracts like Future Devil on Floor Zero, upgrading weapons toward required proficiency thresholds, and rerolling your clan if needed. Treat early Katana clears as learning runs focused on pattern recognition rather than pure farming.
- Once consistent, loop Katana Man on cooldown to chase Katana Fragment, Sealed World, Sealed Fang, and its accessories. These items anchor many of the game’s strongest late‑game builds.
Each raid has non‑guaranteed drops, so progress comes from repetition as much as from raw difficulty clears. With timers at 30, 45, and 60 minutes, planning a rotation around all three can keep you busy with meaningful rewards for quite a while.
