Finding the Deva Rengoku boss can be found by selecting Ember 250 YC region as your spawn location and waiting for the game to load it. The Forged Rengoku Boss returns to the center of the battlefield after being defeated and the Forged Companion scroll will appear on the ground in front of him.

Deva Rengoku
