They are mainly found on Eridanus Sector as a random encounter at the 2nd and 3rd floors.

There is a Dantalion on the west side of the top floor of Eridanus, reached after getting the Gate Search C from Ryan. It gives the side-quest "Tales of Investigation" and regularly will employ the protagonist to be his proxy explorer across the Schwarzwelt, paying him to fully map several floors of each Sector. Once every Sector has been fully mapped, he will gratefully hand over a cache of Incenses to the protagonist.
