You can complete Execute the D.D.O. bodyguards during your first run, but Execute the otherworldly invaders requires a later traversal ability. If you have already left the chapter, use Chapter Select to return.
Where to accept the Chapter 2 missions
After the rail sequence and the large door, interact with the DarkNest Terminal and accept the missions listed there. The Chapter 2 walkthrough lists Execute the D.D.O. bodyguards and Execute the otherworldly invaders as available objectives. Completed work can be reported at a terminal.

How to complete Execute the D.D.O. bodyguards
- Continue through the chapter until the second main monorail section.
- At the area with two shops and a flying-bird jump point, use the jump, then turn around instead of following the story route.
- Cross the gap to the left and ride the extra rail.
- Defeat the group of enemies at the end of the detour. That encounter completes the mission; report it at a terminal. (PowerPyx’s mission guide)
Why the otherworldly invaders objective is out of reach
You can accept Execute the otherworldly invaders in Chapter 2, but the objective is not reachable on the initial story pass. Return after unlocking the Dragonfly Glider, the later traversal ability identified in the route guide. The Chapter 2 walkthrough also notes that the mission cannot be completed on the first pass.

Can I return to Haunted District after finishing the story?
Yes. Use Chapter Select to replay Chapter 2 and recover missions you missed during the campaign. The replay route does not remove the glider requirement for reaching the invader objective, so unlock that ability before attempting the upper area. PowerPyx’s collectibles guide describes Chapter Select as the way to replay chapters and notes that progress saves when you reach a checkpoint. (PowerPyx’s collectibles guide)
What about the Takeminakata 50-enemy objective?
Use Takeminakata to defeat 50 enemies is a general mission, not an objective exclusive to Chapter 2. Takeminakata is Yakumo’s standard dual-blade weapon. Use it for the required defeats; ordinary fights in Haunted District can count, and you may complete the objective before reaching the terminal. (PowerPyx’s mission guide)
