Where to Buy the Skateboard

Cost

7,600 Yen

Make sure you have enough money before visiting the shop. Run a few missions if needed.

💡 Important: Buy the skateboard as soon as you have 7,600 Yen. It's one of the best early investments you can make in the game.

Step-by-Step Purchase Guide

Follow these exact steps to buy and equip your skateboard:

Open Your Phone

Press N on your keyboard (or the phone button on console) to open your phone interface.

Navigate to Skateboard Shop

Look for the Skateboard icon in your phone menu. Click on it to see the shop location on your map.

📍 Map Feature: Your phone shows almost all important locations on the map, making it easy to find shops and key areas.

Talk to the Skateboard Seller

Head to the skateboard shop location shown on your map. When you arrive, interact with the Skateboard Seller NPC.

⚠️ Don't Walk: Walking to the shop takes much longer. Use the map to navigate efficiently or wait until you have your skateboard to travel faster in the future.

Browse the Shop

Select "Browse Shop" or the equivalent interaction option to open the skateboard store interface.

Buy the Skateboard

Purchase the skateboard for 7,600 Yen. You'll see two options in the shop:

✓ Buy Skateboard (7,600 Yen): Get the standard skateboard. This is what you want!

✗ Roll for Skins: Don't use this option unless you specifically want cosmetic skins. Just buy the basic skateboard first.

Go to Inventory and Equip

After purchasing, open your Inventory menu and find the skateboard. Click on it to equip it.

📦 Important: Buying the skateboard doesn't automatically equip it. You must manually equip it from your inventory before you can use it!

Navigation Tips with Skateboard

The skateboard is especially useful for navigating the large map in Devil Hunter. Here are some tips to help you get around efficiently:

Use Your Phone Map

Press N to open your phone and check the map. It shows almost all important locations including:

Public Safety HQ (center of the map)
Black Market location
Skateboard Shop
Various other shops and NPCs

Finding Your Way Back to HQ

If you ever get lost, use this strategy to find Public Safety HQ:

Open your phone (press N)
Look at the map and identify major landmarks like Black Market or Skateboard Shop
Head toward the center of the map - HQ is always in the middle
Use your skateboard to get there quickly

Navigation Strategy

When traveling to a destination, try to stay on main roads and head toward the city center. Don't cut through random areas or you might get lost. Use landmarks on your phone map to orient yourself, then ride your skateboard along the roads to get there quickly.

Common Routes to Practice

HQ to Black Market: Essential route for buying materials
HQ to Skateboard Shop: Know where the shop is for future reference
Mission areas to HQ: Practice getting back after missions

Common Mistakes

❌ Forgetting to Equip After Purchase

Many players buy the skateboard but forget to equip it from their inventory. Always check your inventory and equip it right after buying!

❌ Wasting Money on Skin Rolls

Don't spend money rolling for skateboard skins before buying the basic skateboard. Get the functional item first, cosmetics can wait.

❌ Not Using It Regularly

Some players buy the skateboard but forget to use it. Get in the habit of pressing H whenever you need to travel anywhere. It will save you hours of walking time.

❌ Delaying the Purchase

Don't put off buying the skateboard to save for other items. The time you save with faster travel will help you earn money back quickly through efficient mission grinding.

❌ Not Knowing the Keybind

Players often buy and equip the skateboard but don't know how to use it. Remember: press H to toggle the skateboard on and off.
