but be prepared for Hell Biker
Thank you for this. I was rummaging around in the basement and gave up, completely missing the EXIT on the map.

I got a Strength Demifiend with Focus so said boss got to ate turns of Focus -> Tarukaja -> Pass -> Focus'd Attack to the tune of 600 damage per. Good poo poo

I dipped into the prison dungeon which rules so far in concept, but I actually wanted to explore the Amala network more so I went there. Got drugged and thrown out which was funny as hell. Man this game is so loving good


EDIT: this post was very topical for me

i went the same way, at some point my fusions were just way more powerful than anything in the area. worth recruiting randoms for more fusion fodder though

You should at least look into fusing hell biker, he kicks rear end. Used him all the way to the end. I even refused him with a better move set once I could

god the dungeon aesthetics in this game kick rear end. amala temples maybe the prettiest dungeon i've seen in a ps2 game and there are parts of the tower of kagutsuchi that look just as good. i just got to the "outside" section on floor 322 and i just kind of stared at it in awe for a minute. kaneko ftw and i hope 5 is just as badass

yeah a lot of those Fiend fusions basically work the entire game, I used Daisoujou and Matador for a huge part of the game too

Daisoujou and Red Rider ftw. I used Daisoujou especially up until the final dungeon and only really swapped him out for a change of pace

Daisoujou stays good for an absurdly long time for how early you get him. No weaknesses, immune to light/dark/ailments, and he get Prayer and Meditation. He barely needs anything else, maybe throw in Fog Breath or Endure or something.

Daisoujou also has the coolest back story.

I also used Daisoujou for almost the entire game because of prayer/meditation. I also used Mother Harlot for a little while since she reflects physical

i missed hell rider because i didnt realize the phases of kagutsuchi thing at the time but ive used most of the other fiends at least once. endgame party has trumpeter, mother harlot, and daisoujou in it. trumpeter was probably the only reason i beat noah, gently caress that fight. wasnt bad until he started draining hp but that just turned it into a slog.

Trumpeter is awesome. Especially useful when endgame grinding and he could just OHKO an enemy for free

wish I could replicate the noise I made when I thought I had Trumpeter on the ropes, hadn't worked out his fight gimmick yet, and he did a single doot on his trumpet which killed my MC instantly

Return of the True Demon – releasing November 12 (¥ 980 or $8.59)

In the World of Shadows, Sophia gives the protagonist a menorah, which is said to grant either great power or a swift death. With the menorah in hand, the protagonist will be forced to face the terrible Fiends that appear before him. Once a fiend is defeated, they will be unlocked for fusion. And by defeating the Demon-fiend, his Essence can be obtained. Can you survive against the Fiends and their deathly power?

yeah go for it, with 5 coming out I imagine a lot of people will probably be checking out other entries in the series anyway so it would be cool to have there be a generalized thread for SMT discussion

Not a bad idea. Most of them are single quests in-game to unlock a single demon, which sounds pretty lame tbh. The demifiend pack is the only one I think will be worth it since it adds a new element to the game having the fiends essentially chase you down just like in nocturne

Much to think about

I'll get the demi fiend one and nothing else probably. The single quest ones for SMT4 and apocalypse kinda waver in quality and the exp, app point and macca grinding dlcs are nigh game ruining imo...
