***Shiho's Lab Guide***
--What is Shiho's Lab?
Shiho's Lab is a closed-room dungeon instance which provides one of the possible ways to raise your Digitalize level (the others are: using Digitalize System as you end a Daily Mission, using Digitalize during David Fiend fights and using Digitalize during Bearcar runs). It can be accessed after unlocking the Digitalize System.
For more information on unlocking the Digitalize System, refer to brufh's very helpful guide here:

--How to access Shiho's Lab?
To enter Shiho's Lab, talk to Shiho NPC in Shinjuku Babel Cathedral of Shadows. If you have unlocked the Digitalize System, select the 1st option to access Shiho's Lab. After that, you'll be asked to choose your difficulty level. 1st option is "Easy", 2nd is "Normal", 3rd is "Hard", while 4th is back/cancel.
You will be transported to a single-room dungeon instance. Go next to the Shiho NPC (as close as the force-field allows it) and talk to Shiho. Choose the 1st option to start the run.
When you start this run, you and your partner will be hit with a Tigercat (de)buff, which will render your partner unable to use any skills and make its regular (melee) attack always deal 1 damage, as well as take only 1 damage from all attacks. You will have to fight waves of enemies until the timer runs out - with some differences depending on the difficulty level you've chosen.
Using Digitalize while the run's timer is counting down (that is, before it reaches zero) will raise your DLv with the species you Digitalized with - unless your Digitalization is interupted before ending on its own (either by dying or initializing Digitize with another partner before the previous Digitalize have ended).
--Easy difficulty (3 min):
As the run starts, 5 enemies from a random race will spawn. You have to kill them in correct order (from lowest to highest level) to spawn a 6th enemy. Killing him will increase your DLv with your currently-digitalized partner and spawn a new batch of enemies. Failing to kill the enemies in correct order will de-spawn the remaining enemies and spawn a bunch of Flies. Killing all the Flies will spawn 5 new enemies from a random race. The run lasts for 3 minutes, after which you will have to talk to Shiho and choose the 1st option to leave.
--Normal difficulty (6 min):
Several random enemies will spawn as the run starts. You have to kill 3 specific enemies (***more info required***) in order to spawn a 6th one, killing whom will raise your DLv with your currently-digitalized partner. If you kill 3 wrong enemies, the others will de-spawn and a number of Flies will spawn. Getting hit by these Flies will drain all your mana. Killing all the flies will spawn a new batch of random enemies. After 6 minutes, a Reward Box (containing 1 Jewel Box) & an exit (light) will spawn, after which you are allowed to leave the Lab.
--Hard difficulty (?? min):
//More data required;
--Extra difficulty (?? min):
//More data required;

(Notes) I'm still relatively new to this run myself, but I hope this will help you get the hang of this run.
If you'd like to add more info or suggest any improvements, feel free to post.
