    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.

      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

    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.

    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

    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."

    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.
