@@sioneus i enjoyed this much more than persona 1 and even have the final bosses fight on my yt channel. I got neutral and glad i did cuz i vibe with it the most and want to play smt 2 but afraid the lack of guides online will get me lost.
I'm looking around and wondering if the quote "Fine then. You can pay me with your life". Does that mean that my characters are under level to recruit them?
I'm pretty sure that line can pop up both when you are too underlevelled to recruit a certain demon and when the negotiation isn't succesful in general, so I cant quite tell you
In SMT1 we only know that it's impossible to recruit at Full Moon. We know the moon affects RNG but there's no clear knowledge on whether a higher or lower moon makes it easier to recruit certain demons.
@@sioneus A lady in Megami Tensei on the NES says something to the effect of demons being affected by the light in the dark. So jumping from that o SMT1, more moon means more light and then new moon would give the best odds. That would have been a sensible design at least.
I got out of kongokai and now have to save the heroine but can't find her anywhere in the shibuya building i searched everywhere and went to go kill ozawa and free psycho diver first lol, what do i do?
She's in shibuya 2F. After you go up the stairs, if you open the map (looking north) she's in the furthest bottom left corner of the map, there's a Messian at the entrance of the room.
thanks i will try this, currently stuck at shinjuku underground (city/mall?) and I am very lost I don't know where to find the bartender that asks the questions to find the heroine. I shall try recruiting these demons so i can increase my stock only have 1 in my comp atm
Enter the mall through the eastern entrance, the one that is closest to the Lab/American Embassy and has a Messiah Church right near the door, take the second turn left after you go downstairs and go down that corridor until the last door on the right - thats where the bar is. Good luck with recruitments!
@@FlynnMegaTensei Lmao they used to do that a lot in speedruns. Get a Gandharva or someone else who has Zio or someone who has Bufu and try to stun them every turn so you kill them before they kill you. Gandharva and others in Kongo Shinkai will have the same SPD stat as the ghosts so there's a chance that they can outspeed you and kill you so if you can fuse someone even higher levelled that has Zio/Bufu you should be set. If not, Gandharva works too. Good luck!
@@sioneus random encounters be draining my hp and mp before i even get to the damn fights man... and for some reason retorarch won't let me use save states making me more paranoid of losing my progress to an encounter
When you want to make a video like this but somebody already did it waaay earlier than you thought of the idea and is much more detailed than you could ever be. At least it helps people understand the mechanics.
I made this video to help my fellow smt1 speedrunners homie. But any other negotiation guide is helpful so if you could link that video Id appreciate it
This is exactly what I needed ty
I got you bro
Ah man this video is perfect, I am playing the first smt 1 rn because of the atmosphere and creepiness

Hey. How does the moon effect stuff.

@@sioneus Thanks. After watching this video I caught a bunch of demons. It was helpful

@@sioneus okay I'm stuck in kongokai now and have been tasked with killing the ghosts but they killed me lol... any tips?

holy shit you have a you tube channel.
Indeed, I intend to use it more in the future but youtubing takes a lot of time

Video unclear, accidentally recruited a demon in smt3 instead
You're welcome : )
Tbh I expected something more comprehensive
