Yes, Jupiter's Fury would have been definitely better overall compared to Mazionga by a lot. And still be potentially better compared to Maziondyne. I really screwed there up. Just to show show their respective base power in comparison makes it very obvious: Mazionga: 55 Maziondyne: 80 Jupiter's Fury: 50~150 (3-6 hits on group enemies)

@@rudraslegacy4702 I don't recall if I actually asked this follow-up question before, but: do you actually (still?) have access to a complete skill list with every attack/heal skill's base power? The English-language MegaTen wiki still only has the Physical skill power values.

Yes it can be skipped. But you would need to go straight from like 91% of his max HP to <80% (+900HP as you said). But once he charges himself up with Moksha, he will use Viraj Blade the next turn, even if his HP drop below a certain point. It might be even possible to avoid all Viraj Blade. The very last one seems to be random and I haven't spotted a pattern for when he will go for Viraj Blade or Meru Thunder

@@rudraslegacy4702 I did only see one use of Viraj Blade in my "cheated skills LL" NG+ playthrough, right near the end. Conveniently enough, it only hit and KO'd two of 3 party members, allowing me to use the same ending play (except my Heat didn't miss) Surprisingly only one real attempt, barring maybe an early reset due to a missed skill or two (unless I'm thinking of one of the earlier bosses in the same area).

You probably read, then, that it's actually supposed to be called _Brahmastra,_ named after the godly weapon created by Brahma. (That's another thing that would probably be cool to see fixed if this game duology is ever remastered in HD, to be honest).

Sorry to hear. Jim Reaper was/is going for an all Boss route, while I tried to just go for the possible lowest active party member levels. The differences really wouldn't matter that much, but you are stuck with 6 skill slots if you stay below Lv20. Also I am not sure if you can keep your skills in NG+ on hard mode? But that would probably save you a ton of mantra grinding

@@rudraslegacy4702 You don't keep them. However...I did ask Jim Reaper if he had some cheats that I hadn't found, and he was able to provide _one_ code that unlocks all skills for the party member in slot 1 (and thanks to party switching, I was able to give _everyone_ all skills this way. Thanks, Jim.😉). I did max everyone's mantra grids and defeat all the bosses (including Satan) in my previous playthrough, so I felt I deserved a little "bonus" (unfortunately, I couldn't find a Karma Ring cheat). Which reminds me: I feel like NG+ in this game and in _Persona 3 Portable_ would've been slightly better if 100% completion (or at least completing the most difficult boss fights) would be rewarded with being able to carry stuff over on the respective difficulties that normally force a fresh start if picked. As for both DDS games, I also believe a fitting reward for defeating Demi-fiend and Satan would've been a special item that makes the party's mantra grids significantly easier to max out. I do wonder, though...if DDS1 had a Hard mode, would it ban NG+ carryovers (except for a similar condition as above)? And would the Demi-Fiend be nerfed so as to be effectively unaltered if he was a Hard-only superboss?

Nocturne players really know their game 😊

Way too long (at least +20h), which really isn't that necessary at all but can speed up a few later bosses. For Kumbhanda it only saves maybe like 30-40secs. At least you can just put your controller down while running in circles for c.a 9min ( <5min with speed up on emulator).

@@rudraslegacy4702 Does a higher Hunt score/rank in field hunts increase the AP gained even if all mitamas run away?

Yes, it does

Yessir! I started playing DDS2 around the same time Jim did but waited to let him upload his run first. I came up with the fastest solution for all random battles myself. But I had a few discussions with Jim about the routing and he really came up with some creative ideas how to deal with certain bosses like the Abaddon fight.

I like to imagine that this is the canon event :D

It is possible to skip both Eternal Zero's if your damage output is high enough (Impel Stone really helps a lot). Alternatively, you have to prioritise casting Dekaja or Dekunda asap.

Glad it could help you. And sorry for my late very, very respond

Do you have any plans to finish your own run in the foreseeable future? **nudge nudge, ;) ;)**

Better late than never but yeah it's me. YT seemed to not have me send notifications

good job!

Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be fun. But the optional bosses were done on a different file with DDS1 Data. So it is more like a bonus round.It's possible without DDS1 Data too. The only real difference is having access to Pyriphlegethon for Gale. Otherwise the Shiva, Vishnu & Satan fight would have rougly taken twice as long. Also Shiva is the first boss were you need to use stat increasing items. That's why these 2 restricitions have been lifted from the optional bosses on the sun. I've tried to minimize the the usage of stat increasing data items.

@@rudraslegacy4702 why do you need raise stats for shiva?

@@sampletext9426 Magic is probably the One Stat to Rule Them All in the DDS duology. It increases magic damage, magic defense, MP capacity, and possibly even magic accuracy, from what I've seen.
