Can You Beat SMT Nocturne With A Nuzlocke Ruleset?

- Watch my other challenge runs here: • Challenge Runs
We are back with another Nuzlocke but this time with a game we have never done on this channel before. Due to how RNG heavy and brutal Nocturne can be though, this time we add a little extra rules to make this less devastating as we have 3 lifes before we have to restart the run!

The pain of fighting Luci in this run I can't imagine. He could just smile and root of gacha then basic attack crit spam and it's over. Awesome run and really entertaining as usual! Also a weird thing about Luci is you can skip his Diarahan although I have no idea whether its a hp range or something? But sometimes he just will not use it
I thought it was based on which version of Nocturne. Dante’s version he doesn’t cast it while Raidou’s version actually casts Diarahan.
@@JoeyLamontagne yes but also he will not always use it in chronicles
I believe it's because he's scripted to use Diarahan after taking about 40,000 damage but he's also scripted to use Root of Evil after certain health thresholds which can overwrite the scripted Diarahan. It's pretty rare though and requires you to do a lot of damage in one turn
@@24hourPrince I believe it is something to do with thresholds for Diarahan but RoE is not a scripted move. Just insanely high odds of being used. My winning Solo 1 Press Turn attempt he didn’t use RoE or Diarahan
I remember getting this as my first ever SMT game, thinking "I'm an experienced RPG player let's start on hard" I too died in the tutorial...three times. Damn crits! :D
This is just one of the universal Megaten moments
Man you guys who do these challenges just have the patience of Gandi and the perseverance of guts
13:08 Something to think about in the future: part of the "spirit" of the Nuzlocke is to get attached to specific party members.
I think using deceased demons as fusion fodder is a fine and normal adaptation, but IMHO you should have required one "live" demon to be used. As it was done you basically got a revival out of fusions of only deceased demons.
I also think that you should have relaxed the encounter rules to the first thing that can be proactively acquired. So if you ran across a Foul during full moon it would count (or if it initiated the talk) but not impossible situations. This would also ensure that demons that you can't ever recruit via negotiation like Vile or Element didn't burn your party slot.
I mean, this is a cool challenge and already decently hard as it is, but he broke true Nuzlocke rules 10 minutes or so into the video. He traded for a bunch of elementals in Ginza, which wouldn't be allowed in Nuzlockes. You would be allowed to trade for one, but in traditional Nuzlocke rulesets, gift/game corner/etc would count as your encounter for that area.
“1 live demon during fusions”
…shit, that’s actually a good idea.
@@crazzluz1702 I wanna say Ive seen this game beat using Demi only, so would be doable
I cant imagine game where you can die in tutorial now. Imagine if Yuki coudnt beat shadows at the roof or dying to human in refantasio.
Yay! New Nocturne run! Still editing mine.
Can't wait!
Cool
I've been waiting for this, I love these ruleset runs of smt games
Awwwww shit here we go again
Oh wow funny seeing you here lol
Is that a Deus reference?
@@trentsticles6198 this reference has *N O* *W E A K N E S S*

@@trentsticles6198 yes, but it was originally a GTA San Andreas one
some nuzlocke have duplicate clause that says if you already have a pokemon in the same evolution line, you can skip that encounter and get a new one. seeing in nocturne there are some evolution lines (like the pixie, the tengu, idk what else), let's say name. i see some of the encounters that you ran into had a demon with the same name with the one you had. with yhe duplicate clause in place, you can technically get a new encounter
You messed up with pixie you could've kept her till the final labyrinth and she would turn into super pixie
Hot take: Uber Pixie is overrated. She has the same resistances as a normal Pixie (elec resistance, not even immunity, and nothing else), and she's got nothing on actual powerhouses like Shiva.
@@deandelvin9924 i think the difference is Shiva has to be fused which without knowing how to is confusing while uber pixie is practically free.
You don't need to keep the Pixie. You only need to know which demon your Pixie was fused into, e this demon turno into Super Pixie
@@kevinrimolodesouza4780 just so long as sacrificial fusion is not used on the Pixie source IIRC
@@deandelvin9924 who is overrating uber pixie? The reason she is a popular addition is you turn a net loss into a gain. You lose every other single demon you sacrifice to the door.
Another reason is her being the first pI have never heard anyone say she is on the level of Shiva, Metatron or Beelzebub.
Dante/Raidou's Provoke doesn't heal HP, it heals MP
I think everyone should play nocturne at least once in their SMT/Persona lifetime
wow, very interesting run, congrats on completing it
23:01 It actually heals MP iirc. At least the version you get when he's playable does.
Love watching these challenge runs - huge props for the win lord knows I could never attempt this haha
I know you ran into a duplicate demon but in nuzlockes you can get a new encounter one if you already own that demon/pokemon. "If the first Pokémon in an area is one the player already owns, they may continue battling until they encounter one they do not own, and then attempt to catch it."
Ah, Nocturne. Excellent game, but "we put up all buffs and debuffs and then the boss can't really do anything," is really just how this game works.
Omg this Channel is Peak Gaming.
59:21 Loki is a Tyrant demon, and cannot be recruited through negotiation. They must be fused to acquire.
Can they ask to join you after some ass whooping?
@@deandelvin9924 I'm pretty sure also no, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
I was expecting more suffering but its so much better that it wasnt
Love the video great job can’t wait for the next one
Great vid! Really enjoyed it!
I’ll admit, I did some research on boss levels in preparation for a potential run like this.
Apparently, the final level cap before the final bosses was none other than Mot (Lv. 89), which I find hilarious.
awesome idea for a challenge run
02:43 Well. This was the moment he Knew. He fucked up. 😅😅😅😅
Now you gotta do this on smt5 vengeance
It's hard cause there is no random encounter so element of surprise is ruin a bit. But maybe you can pick and choose any demon between save point.
@@SnailBot you can do it like the nuzlocke in P5, where he analyzes the encounters and pick one of the demons that spawns
the idea of a levelcap in nocturne is funny to me because nocturne's damage calcs unironically make magic attacks weaker as you level up. this obviously won't apply to strength builds and strength focused devils, but you still need magic attacks because of the press turn system, so a levelcap will technically make the game easier.
Do SMTV Vengeance randomizer next
6:03 uhh dupes clause. Reroll
Not that it really matters but Raidou's provoke actually restores 750 of his MP not HP
No Death for Demi Fiend!?! It's SMT Nocturne, how is that possible?! D:
1:15:50
Ayo... Metatron??? 🙋♂🙋♂🙋♂
Babe, Ragnar dropped a new video! 🤘
for the first game over there, were you not allowed to talk to the kodamas to instantly end the battle? That could have saved you after the massive magic up boosts.
I'm sure there's some reason you didn't do it, but I can't think of it.
goated game and run
Demons die and then you can fuse them? Lol
Max difficult Pixie only, can't fusion n must be at least 10 levels below the boss
Oof that early pixie evolution
Let goooo
I actually did something like this before
It fun
OH FUCK OFF, this game is already hard ON HARD MODE blind XD
SMT 3 fans are nuts.
