One time I was kicking Beelzebub's ass in Nocturne, he used Death Flies on me (I was immune to the insta kill) but immediately as he cast it, my power went off. I swear he used some 4th wall break to stop me from kicking his ass.
I still remember my most Shin Megami Tensei Moment: when I was in Shinjuku underground, I managed to map ALL the dungeon EXCEPT THE TERMINAL. I went to one of those "mandatory fight" rooms, and I met David. Now here's the thing: I was playing the GBA port, WHICH REMOVES THE FIEND THEME, so I though "wow, new silly demon. Take this!". I was level 10, he was 99. Needless to say, he used my guts as new cords for his Stradivari. And I lost over 3 hours of progress.
It's cruel they put the terminal literally right next to the entrance, but you have to go down the hall and around a corner to get to it. I spent an hour mapping that damn place before finding it.
I can seriously relate to your experience in SMT2. I nearly quit the game because I couldn’t land a single hit on any of the last bosses. I also never got any of the fusion swords so I had no particularly good swords. Fortunately, I was on track for the neutral ending so I was able to grab Masakado’s sword which let me hit the final bosses semi-consistently. Unfortunately I also got the Tarukaja glitch and had to build my attack all the way back up mid-way into the fight. No way I would’ve been able to beat the game if I had been on any other route. I’m also happy the Raidou boss in Soul Hackers came up. I loved that fight a lot and I was extremely proud of myself for beating it with my massively janky team. I grinded for a while to get Mitamas and the homie Frost Five came in clutch with innate damage reflection. Also, I’m glad to have contributed to the video once again. It came out great.
@@CarlosMWI see. I never actually used the Casino since I didn’t feel like using save-states to cheat at all the games. I had no idea how good the items from it were. I think the only time I ever actually used the casino in a Megaten game was Persona 1. It’s basically mandatory if you want to do the Snow Queen Quest towers on reverse order.
Satan is by far the hardest boss in the series. There isn't a cheese strat out there for his RNG Hell unlike every other superboss in the series, and the laundry list of criteria you need to meet to even fight him is also unbelievably grueling. Demi Fiend in DDS took me 3 hours to take down. Satan took me over 8 hours.
Satan can be killed in 2 turns. Demi Fiend is 100 percent the harder boss, even with Red Star strategy. Mamudoon is really a big problem, and I don’t have to talk about Gaea rage. I’ve beat Demi Fiend around 8 times, that’s how many times I’ve played DDS 1, and beat Satan 5 times. And I’d say Demi Fiend is harder. But I can see why people would think otherwise.
@@Megidolaon999sura Satan can be killed in 2 turns but the original vid states that it took over 300 attempts to do ALL that. If the dude didn't kill him turn 1, Satan would've literally 1 shot him due to the aliment skill fucking him over. Demi fiend is similar but people have developed just as many strategies. Hell Jim Reaper did him low level. Good strats and or luck based strats don't discredit difficulty
@@sebastiandelacruz1346 People have done all sorts of shit to both Demi Fiend and Satan. Personally, the lowest I’ve beat Demi Fiend at is level 30, and Satan level 25.

Bro, i really wasn't expecting this much work put in the video, i was expecting a simple video with 20, 30 vides at max and was like "bro, why is he taking so much time to make the video? I want to see my comment" Didn't know bro was cooking. Man this video was so good, so well made, so entertaining, the best video you've made. Continue like that brother, ur my hero
Justo ayer acabo de vencer a Beelzebub y lo logré al primer intento, por suerte no me costó tanto gracias a tener un Taotie usando Tetraja y Rakunda a cada rato, si pueden usen esa estrategia para que les ayude en la pelea. Excelente video Carlos
I think people forget Demi friend is both fair and unfair in digital débil saga It's not a simple lol get Lucky It's a puzzle that can send you to YHVH fast
One of my fondest MegaTen memories is completely cheesing the final form of the final boss for Persona 3 Portable. I just used Armageddon on it and won. LOL
Regarding the demi fiend in smt v, there’s another way to survive his Gaea rage attacks. If you farm enough vitality to reach 400, you’ll have enough defense to tank it. At that point you can reasonably beat demi fiend with a solo Nahobino party, as long as you don’t get unlucky with chaotic will. Anything less than 400 vitality will force you to play by the rules, but if you exceed the 400 vitality threshold it’s safe to say that Demi fiend isn’t the superboss of smt v anymore… *you are*. The strongest entity in the smt series (gameplay wise) is the nahobino with max stats. Even on the hardest difficulty, demi fiend has to get lucky with chaotic will just to beat nahobino, because gaea rage is only doing about 200 damage and nahobino can easily heal that off with magatsuhi wellspring. Demi fiends allies can only do 2-4 damage, even while Nahobino’s defense is debuffed to -2. At this rate it’s a one sided battle that is in your favor, and what did it cost? 94 new plus cycles farming balms!
Men algo tarde pero dijiste que stephen era el tercer ser mas poderosos de megaten el top 1 es obvio quien es pero quien es el top 2?? Posdata:te falto decir que cuando demi fiend le queda poca vida te bombardea a puro chaotic will una vez que estuve a punto de ganarle me lanzó 3 chaotic will por turnos gratis que saco su grupo con criticos y me paso lo mismo antier me lanzó 2 en el turno de su grupo y también que parvati puede curarlo asiendo todavía mas larga la pelea
El 2do sería siendo el Axiom/Great Will por obvias razones, y el primero serían siendo El, Kishe, y Uranus de Last Bible 1 por haber sido los únicos en vencer al Great Will
shadow okumura nearly caused my parents to think i was obsessed with persona 5 royal bc i struggled so much with the time management aspect that i didnt get dressed or eat breakfast that morning. if that was the hardest boss for me in p5, im terrified to find out what the other, harder smt bosses will make me do lol
Apparently, special phys skills cannot miss in smt2. So I used them against yellow head. Also, Mouth of God is tame and in its entirety, the battle is simply tedious, but not hard. Satan threatens you with Mamudoon, which can hit Aleph... while you can ensure that *record scratch* can't hit MC with instakill.
@@CarlosMW I have a record of my own attempt of YHVH fight on my channel. Tbh, Warped Mind Hazama is MUCH WORSE. The guy has instakill which for me always went to Tamaki. Without final guard spam or having Tetraja user with 21 agility or more this fight is almost impossible.
The truth is, the video is excellent, I am glad to have collaborated by contributing my grain of sand with that comment. Although I didn't see any Megami Tensei 2 boss, seeing that my comment didn't go unnoticed, I'm a happy young man. (Meanwhile my inner self: "I'm on the cover!!!!!)
There are some bosses that I wanted to feature in the video, but due of how long the video already was I had to leave them out of it. Those bosses are Astaroth from MT II, Hazama from SMT if..., and Medusa from SMT IV.
@@CarlosMW It's understandable bro, the video lasts almost an hour and a half and the dedication you put into the video is very noticeable. Maybe those bosses that you leave out, can be mentioned as an honorable mention in shorts format, so you don't lose much by mentioning them, although it is just a tip.
I'm something of an expert for the Elizabeth boss fights myself. So I think I can say some corrections here and there in those sections. 57:37 That is not true for Light/Dark skills. You can't null those. Ailments wise though, that's correct. 57:45 She doesn't exactly spam 9,999 Megidolaon. She will switch it up by using Pixie to heal and whatnot. And she can use the skills from the persona she used last. As an example, if in the 99th turn she used Cu Chullain, she can and will use Pixie and Cu Chullain moves in the 100th and the turn after that if you somehow survived. 57:55 That's not true either, her intended method to be beaten does not require the High Counter skip. It's called a skip for a reason, it isn't required as a win condition. Technically speaking, Infinity is not required as well if you're doing lowest turns. I've done that myself. All posted in the channel. 58:03 That's not true as well. When she has her turn, she will always switch to the next persona in the rotation mentioned beforehand. Regardless of only using phys attacks in that turn. This is an important detail since it tells you what element does 1.5x more damage against her (And what she drains). I call this property "Vulnerability", many bosses in P3 has this. In her case, it's the opposite element of the persona she's using last (So in this case, Fire to Ice and Wind to Elec). 58:22 There's other methods, mostly kinda niche but it has its uses. Endure + Enduring soul and Valhalla (This is relevant in P3P specifically). 58:29 She's intended to be halved HP wise twice then Armageddon in this version. First time she heals, she does this when her health goes below 10K. However, when you half her health the second time, she will not do this. As the new treshold for healing is under 6K. So no calculator is required to beat her at all. Just some intuition based on her HP bar. You're describing what's called the High Counter skip. Which does makes the fight shorter if done, but it's not the end of the fight if not achieved. 58:44 That is blatantly false. They do Diarahan. However, they'll simply go back to using the persona they used last. As an example, if I knocked her down to less than 10K for the first time after she used Jack Frost, she'll use Pixie to Diarahan and then use Jack Frost again. This happens as well on the second heal if you knocked her down to under 6K damage. Normally you would have done Armageddon already before hitting this though. Even then, I'm not sure where this misconception comes from. 59:15 Telos has never been a winning condition for the fight. I did my lowest turns (14) in Vanilla for many reasons, that one included. But really, all the complicated calculations are only a requirement when under such restrictions. Some preparation might be needed but this fight is actually pretty much alright to be freestyle'd as long as the rules are being abided. Overall in any of the first three versions, you technically only need a Surt, Odin, Helel, Satan, Ananta, Vishnu and Anubis to get through it (Technically less in P3P due to how fusion spells work there). When talking about the other versions though, I would mention that a Plume of Dusk is free in any difficulty in FES due to an added request. And that you can stack resist phys armor and resist magic sword in there. And the more streamlined preparations in P3P as reasons to think why they're easier. I'm quite an expert in Devil Survivor as well. Basically beat Lucifer, Alice, and the Tico Twins solo (It's actually simpler than many think) 1:01:18 Tyrant strategy is more popular for the simple reason that Lucifer himself is a Tyrant demon in this game. There's a passive called Race-O that boosts the attacks of demons when it's attacking a demon from the same race. Putting this into Loki basically unlocks the method how to do this with only the protagonist and his team of demons. You need a Kishin, Tyrant and a Vile demon to get through it all but it's more than possible. Technically there is a method to allow the usage of Multistrike against him if you somehow shock him with Elec spells as well. But that hasn't been properly done before, sadly. It's harder to pull off in the Vanilla version due to the game not having Extra Charge on the protagonist. Which helps a lot more than many think. But Dual Shadow is in there so it's technically doable with some more luck. Overall though, the best strategy against Lucifer involves having many tyrants with Race-O against him. For a much more faster fight overall.
Holy shit I never thought I would make THAT MANY mistakes when I talked about Elizabeth and her rules lol I really want to pin your comment to make everyone know I fucked up, unfortunately, I have to leave the already pinned comment there to make all the people know my video editor ruined some portions of the video. Although, I appreciate you taking the time to write a comment explaining each of the mistakes I made related to Elizabeth. I'm sure someone will see it and learn how Elizabeth works. Thanks man!
@@CarlosMW it's hard to beat nearly two decades of misinformation, after all. It's very understandable how the general fanbase is not aware of this. Chances are you'll also hear people say High Counter's 50% in repel rate in P3-P3P (it's just 20%), it's been ingrained to basically everyone. More or less, the things I mentioned are relatively recent in being discovered. That's another factor too.
SMT IV wasn't my first MegaTen, so I personally didn't have too much problem with Minotaur (I beat him on my second try), but I also got lucky and didn't get that idiot Walter, so I didn't have to deal with the Smirk bullshit.
SMT IV was my first SMT, but not my first MegaTen (Persona 3 Portable was) It took me two tries, because he was getting the best RNG rolls possible lol
Sector E isn't so bad once you realize its actually a set of mini dungeons you take one step at a time as opposed to one big dungeon. Sector G on the other hand is basically what people criticize Sector E for being..... a big maze thats just complete nonsense
59:54! 🙌 OMG, I still remember going up against Elizabeth for the first time, completely unprepared! It was only my 2nd “SMT” game. (It was 2007!). And while it won’t be quite the same, I swear I’m going to beat her in “P3: Reload”! 😂 (And shout out to the final boss in “SMTIV: A”! I love that game and went through the whole thing without much trouble. And then the final boss. I remember the first time I struggled through the 1st phase only to be like… “There’s MORE!”)
I find Metatron on Naoya's 8th day (kill path) to be significantly harder than Babel... IF you're trying to get the No K.O achievement Metatron is a magic powerhouse that has infinite range and will most certainly target Kaido due to his pitful magic stat, and he attacks twice iirc. But wait, just don't use Kaido if you want the No K.O title, right? Well if you decide to kill all the humans you will be stuck with MC, Naoya, Atsuro, Kaido and Black Frost... If you did recruit Black Frost to begin with, and MC and Kaido are your best fighters anyways so you do want Kaido to smack the generic enemies around. As for the Okumura fight in Royal... I love it, I adore when it takes place. The boss fight happens when you can start to build extremely powerful Personae, such as Raoul if you do a good job with the twins quests. But all that overwhelming power will not save you unless you have fully mastered the mechanics such as buffs, debuffs and baton pass. Only by combining those three mechanics with the right timing you will win in Hard Mode. Plus even if you do not have incredibly powerful Personae, Haru joins perfectly equipped to take down the green robots. The fight is amazingly designed because it expects you to have a strong collection of Personae but even if you don't, you still have a party member that is meant to counter the hardest phase if you use her well.
@@CarlosMW Everytime you beat Devil Survivor you get some achievements like "Beat x route" "Finish the game without random battles" "Finish the game without having any leader be defeated" (the one I am talking about) And so on
@@CarlosMW Omg, please do! And push through the noise farming! It only takes like 40-60 hours. I will say, while it isn’t necessary for the fight by any means, I do recommend it!
You know those superbosses that spam their super attack when low on health? Nexus dinogator does that in the first phase, spamming Pout which does roughly 300 cut damage per hit for 10 hits to random members of your party.
@@CarlosMW I am hunting those Fiends right now on Law mode any tips to make them much appear faster on certain location? Before I go fight the 2 super bosses of ancient of Days and Sanat. I am on Ginza and felt asleep while my N3DS running took me 30minutes still that Cowboy didn't appear, help.
A lot of SMT filter bosses make you go: "Oh you're gonna be a particular asshole, huh?" And make you play just as dirty because that's what the game asks you to do in SMT, play dirty.
Matador is only bad on first go around as he is the check of the game and he teaches you to prep for bosses HOWEVER there is one section and one boss that is just awful and that is the first trip into the amala network and the specter jumping at the end because once you know of matador you can prep but ever fucking play through of nocturne that first visit and fight are hell as because you are still early on you can’t really prepare matador is a surprise bitch slap if you aren’t using buffs and Debuffs and to make teams for fights and once you do that he’s a difficult but fun fight on the level of the rest of early nocturne while the first visit to the amala network and specter one are a endurance test every run Edit: I ain’t done yet what makes me say specter the hardest boss is where it is in the game as mot is in the last dungeon before the tower of kaga, Beelzebub is 4th kalpa, Lucifer is the final boss of the true demon ending so you expect these bosses to be hard the specter jumping and amala network one is the second dungeon and boss in the game and these come out of bumfuck nowhere
I would put matador at first this was my first time playing this game after I read that boss is infamous for being the most difficult boy I was dead wrong and he got me 4 times on normal setting
ese peinado me hace recordar a mediados del 2000. debido a que varios artistas tenían ese tipo de peinado... y de hecho tambien me recuerda a yo en el 2008 cuando tenia 9 años, aunque yo lo que buscaba en ese entonces no era eso si no un mohicano
I didn’t find Ouroboros that hard (I wouldn’t call her a joke either) although I respect it for being one of the only bosses that actually utilizes demon coop with the boss being basically a dps race. Here’s the thing though…The game literally gives a demon with Fire Amp in the room before you fight Ouroboros lol. By that point in the game you can easily get 3 demons with agidyne, hell by level 41 you can get both luster candy and debilitate so throw that all together and well goodbye Ouroboros lol. Contrary to popular belief you don’t need passwords to completely break Strange Journeys difficulty but that’s overkill really, Tarukaja and Rakukaja are all you need
tbf i think raidou kuzunoha 1 final boss fight was wayyyy easier than beelzebub or alice, alice boss fight i managed to archive on this channel but i never had that dog in me to manage and beat beelzebub
@@CarlosMW She is not easy, especially if you dont use commander skills, she have multiple phases and test your memory from previous boss battles in Womb of The Grief, and force player to constantly change demons between diffirent alignments. She was more problematic than Ouroboros for me, which is just test of your demon composition. Atleast Shekinah is easier than YHVH from SMT IV Apocalypse.
@CarlosMW Atleas for akuma you can rematch him I think but for rugal ,hoooh boy ,he's gonna kick your ass ,laugh at fou for being pathetic and spit on your body for wasting his time (SNK BOSS SYNDROME)
@@fardinhasan2947 wait, you can't rematch Rugal?! I thought the only super boss that you couldn't rematch was that little girl from SVC Chaos: Capcom VS SNK
@CarlosMW Nope .You have to meet specific requirements to fight him and you got only one shot at it .If you fail that's it no rematch .That's way he's the secret boss .
Hardest Boss in Megaten game angry CarlosMW. If Sega wants to go the way of Capcom (microtransactions in Dragons Dogma 2) pissed off MegaTen fans at Sega HQ and destroy them completely. So serious is the greed of the publishers and developers of the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series.
@@CarlosMW no, soy super bueno en juegos de pelea, la margaret de persona 4 en dificil es la cosa mas mortifera que existe, probre 3 formulas con guias gringas en dificil para poder matarla y ninguna funciono, al final tuve que matarla con 4 y tirar de puro rng y esquives, 4 horas de repetir rng y al final logre matarla, si la pones en normal en 1 hora la matas con formula de 1 jugador como con elizabeth, pero en dificil es simplemente masoquismo casi imposible.
Surprised Beldr wasnt mentioned for DeSu1, bro was so annoying i grinded my party up to late 20s just so i could be sure i could beat his shit in then again my first non-overeleveled attempt went mostly well until one of his basilisk reinforcements turned Kazuya to stone and then he just killed me, and even thought Yuzu COULD revive me from this in any other scenario, since one of the fail conditions was "Kazuya dies" i just lost then and there... so needless to say my salt from that may skew my view on him a little
Beldr is so braindead lmao You literally just zerg him with your mistletoe while having the others defend you. It's not hard in the slightest. There are about a hundred FE fights that are way harder than that.
I found three or four video issues while I was subtitling it into Spanish.

Justo ayer acabo de vencer a Beelzebub y lo logré al primer intento, por suerte no me costó tanto gracias a tener un Taotie usando Tetraja y Rakunda a cada rato, si pueden usen esa estrategia para que les ayude en la pelea. Excelente video Carlos
A veces se me olvida que Tetraja existe jaja
Muchas gracias! 💙
I think people forget Demi friend is both fair and unfair in digital débil saga
It's not a simple lol get Lucky
It's a puzzle that can send you to YHVH fast
Using the record scratch for yhvh is a nice touch
I've been using it for two years
Im so excited its finally out and Im finally off work to enjoy it!!
I hope you love it!
@@CarlosMW ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE VIDEO Thanks for the great after work video to watch lol it was a fun watch love the videos everytime!
Thanks bro!
I appreciate it
One of my fondest MegaTen memories is completely cheesing the final form of the final boss for Persona 3 Portable. I just used Armageddon on it and won. LOL
Classic Armageddon moment
The good ol' armageddon defeating the enemies
Shekinah from SJR made me lose my mind
Once you understand Shekinah's gimmick is quite easy to beat it tbh
Margaret from P4AU topped the list.
What a plot twist, lol
Regarding the demi fiend in smt v, there’s another way to survive his Gaea rage attacks. If you farm enough vitality to reach 400, you’ll have enough defense to tank it. At that point you can reasonably beat demi fiend with a solo Nahobino party, as long as you don’t get unlucky with chaotic will.
Anything less than 400 vitality will force you to play by the rules, but if you exceed the 400 vitality threshold it’s safe to say that Demi fiend isn’t the superboss of smt v anymore… *you are*.
The strongest entity in the smt series (gameplay wise) is the nahobino with max stats. Even on the hardest difficulty, demi fiend has to get lucky with chaotic will just to beat nahobino, because gaea rage is only doing about 200 damage and nahobino can easily heal that off with magatsuhi wellspring. Demi fiends allies can only do 2-4 damage, even while Nahobino’s defense is debuffed to -2. At this rate it’s a one sided battle that is in your favor, and what did it cost? 94 new plus cycles farming balms!
No!! My man lost his Nahobino hair!
I'm not the same bro
Help
Men algo tarde pero dijiste que stephen era el tercer ser mas poderosos de megaten el top 1 es obvio quien es pero quien es el top 2??
Posdata:te falto decir que cuando demi fiend le queda poca vida te bombardea a puro chaotic will una vez que estuve a punto de ganarle me lanzó 3 chaotic will por turnos gratis que saco su grupo con criticos y me paso lo mismo antier me lanzó 2 en el turno de su grupo y también que parvati puede curarlo asiendo todavía mas larga la pelea
El 2do sería siendo el Axiom/Great Will por obvias razones, y el primero serían siendo El, Kishe, y Uranus de Last Bible 1 por haber sido los únicos en vencer al Great Will
shadow okumura nearly caused my parents to think i was obsessed with persona 5 royal bc i struggled so much with the time management aspect that i didnt get dressed or eat breakfast that morning. if that was the hardest boss for me in p5, im terrified to find out what the other, harder smt bosses will make me do lol
That's dedication ngl
Still, remember to not waste your valuable time playing videogames; only if you have free time
Apparently, special phys skills cannot miss in smt2. So I used them against yellow head.
Also, Mouth of God is tame and in its entirety, the battle is simply tedious, but not hard. Satan threatens you with Mamudoon, which can hit Aleph... while you can ensure that *record scratch* can't hit MC with instakill.
Wait, is that true? huh, I didn't know that until now lmao
@@CarlosMW I have a record of my own attempt of YHVH fight on my channel.
Tbh, Warped Mind Hazama is MUCH WORSE. The guy has instakill which for me always went to Tamaki. Without final guard spam or having Tetraja user with 21 agility or more this fight is almost impossible.
8:30 Yhvh’s way of telling you that you should’ve invested more into agility 😭😭
YHVH: gg git gud smh m8
Came here to see PEAK for the SMT community
Thanks bro :')
The truth is, the video is excellent, I am glad to have collaborated by contributing my grain of sand with that comment. Although I didn't see any Megami Tensei 2 boss, seeing that my comment didn't go unnoticed, I'm a happy young man.
(Meanwhile my inner self: "I'm on the cover!!!!!)
There are some bosses that I wanted to feature in the video, but due of how long the video already was I had to leave them out of it.
Those bosses are Astaroth from MT II, Hazama from SMT if..., and Medusa from SMT IV.
@@CarlosMW It's understandable bro, the video lasts almost an hour and a half and the dedication you put into the video is very noticeable. Maybe those bosses that you leave out, can be mentioned as an honorable mention in shorts format, so you don't lose much by mentioning them, although it is just a tip.
That's why I also put the comments that couldn't make it in the last two minutes of the video :)
Hopefully the next upload comes in 3 months this time.
Five months or not deal
The amount of featured UA-camrs 😵💫
What not recording its own footage does to a mf
Good to see you back
Thanks bro :')
Finally… the banger video Has arrived
Thanks bro :')
I'm something of an expert for the Elizabeth boss fights myself. So I think I can say some corrections here and there in those sections.
57:37 That is not true for Light/Dark skills. You can't null those. Ailments wise though, that's correct.
57:45 She doesn't exactly spam 9,999 Megidolaon. She will switch it up by using Pixie to heal and whatnot. And she can use the skills from the persona she used last. As an example, if in the 99th turn she used Cu Chullain, she can and will use Pixie and Cu Chullain moves in the 100th and the turn after that if you somehow survived.
57:55 That's not true either, her intended method to be beaten does not require the High Counter skip. It's called a skip for a reason, it isn't required as a win condition. Technically speaking, Infinity is not required as well if you're doing lowest turns. I've done that myself. All posted in the channel.
58:03 That's not true as well. When she has her turn, she will always switch to the next persona in the rotation mentioned beforehand. Regardless of only using phys attacks in that turn. This is an important detail since it tells you what element does 1.5x more damage against her (And what she drains). I call this property "Vulnerability", many bosses in P3 has this. In her case, it's the opposite element of the persona she's using last (So in this case, Fire to Ice and Wind to Elec).
58:22 There's other methods, mostly kinda niche but it has its uses. Endure + Enduring soul and Valhalla (This is relevant in P3P specifically).
58:29 She's intended to be halved HP wise twice then Armageddon in this version. First time she heals, she does this when her health goes below 10K. However, when you half her health the second time, she will not do this. As the new treshold for healing is under 6K. So no calculator is required to beat her at all. Just some intuition based on her HP bar. You're describing what's called the High Counter skip. Which does makes the fight shorter if done, but it's not the end of the fight if not achieved.
58:44 That is blatantly false. They do Diarahan. However, they'll simply go back to using the persona they used last. As an example, if I knocked her down to less than 10K for the first time after she used Jack Frost, she'll use Pixie to Diarahan and then use Jack Frost again. This happens as well on the second heal if you knocked her down to under 6K damage. Normally you would have done Armageddon already before hitting this though. Even then, I'm not sure where this misconception comes from.
59:15 Telos has never been a winning condition for the fight. I did my lowest turns (14) in Vanilla for many reasons, that one included. But really, all the complicated calculations are only a requirement when under such restrictions. Some preparation might be needed but this fight is actually pretty much alright to be freestyle'd as long as the rules are being abided. Overall in any of the first three versions, you technically only need a Surt, Odin, Helel, Satan, Ananta, Vishnu and Anubis to get through it (Technically less in P3P due to how fusion spells work there). When talking about the other versions though, I would mention that a Plume of Dusk is free in any difficulty in FES due to an added request. And that you can stack resist phys armor and resist magic sword in there. And the more streamlined preparations in P3P as reasons to think why they're easier.
I'm quite an expert in Devil Survivor as well. Basically beat Lucifer, Alice, and the Tico Twins solo (It's actually simpler than many think)
1:01:18 Tyrant strategy is more popular for the simple reason that Lucifer himself is a Tyrant demon in this game. There's a passive called Race-O that boosts the attacks of demons when it's attacking a demon from the same race. Putting this into Loki basically unlocks the method how to do this with only the protagonist and his team of demons. You need a Kishin, Tyrant and a Vile demon to get through it all but it's more than possible. Technically there is a method to allow the usage of Multistrike against him if you somehow shock him with Elec spells as well. But that hasn't been properly done before, sadly. It's harder to pull off in the Vanilla version due to the game not having Extra Charge on the protagonist. Which helps a lot more than many think. But Dual Shadow is in there so it's technically doable with some more luck. Overall though, the best strategy against Lucifer involves having many tyrants with Race-O against him. For a much more faster fight overall.
Holy shit I never thought I would make THAT MANY mistakes when I talked about Elizabeth and her rules lol
I really want to pin your comment to make everyone know I fucked up, unfortunately, I have to leave the already pinned comment there to make all the people know my video editor ruined some portions of the video.
Although, I appreciate you taking the time to write a comment explaining each of the mistakes I made related to Elizabeth. I'm sure someone will see it and learn how Elizabeth works. Thanks man!
@@CarlosMW it's hard to beat nearly two decades of misinformation, after all. It's very understandable how the general fanbase is not aware of this. Chances are you'll also hear people say High Counter's 50% in repel rate in P3-P3P (it's just 20%), it's been ingrained to basically everyone.
More or less, the things I mentioned are relatively recent in being discovered. That's another factor too.
SMT IV wasn't my first MegaTen, so I personally didn't have too much problem with Minotaur (I beat him on my second try), but I also got lucky and didn't get that idiot Walter, so I didn't have to deal with the Smirk bullshit.
SMT IV was my first SMT, but not my first MegaTen (Persona 3 Portable was)
It took me two tries, because he was getting the best RNG rolls possible lol
Sector E isn't so bad once you realize its actually a set of mini dungeons you take one step at a time as opposed to one big dungeon. Sector G on the other hand is basically what people criticize Sector E for being..... a big maze thats just complete nonsense
59:54! 🙌 OMG, I still remember going up against Elizabeth for the first time, completely unprepared! It was only my 2nd “SMT” game. (It was 2007!). And while it won’t be quite the same, I swear I’m going to beat her in “P3: Reload”! 😂 (And shout out to the final boss in “SMTIV: A”! I love that game and went through the whole thing without much trouble. And then the final boss. I remember the first time I struggled through the 1st phase only to be like… “There’s MORE!”)
I find Metatron on Naoya's 8th day (kill path) to be significantly harder than Babel... IF you're trying to get the No K.O achievement
Metatron is a magic powerhouse that has infinite range and will most certainly target Kaido due to his pitful magic stat, and he attacks twice iirc. But wait, just don't use Kaido if you want the No K.O title, right? Well if you decide to kill all the humans you will be stuck with MC, Naoya, Atsuro, Kaido and Black Frost... If you did recruit Black Frost to begin with, and MC and Kaido are your best fighters anyways so you do want Kaido to smack the generic enemies around.
As for the Okumura fight in Royal... I love it, I adore when it takes place. The boss fight happens when you can start to build extremely powerful Personae, such as Raoul if you do a good job with the twins quests. But all that overwhelming power will not save you unless you have fully mastered the mechanics such as buffs, debuffs and baton pass. Only by combining those three mechanics with the right timing you will win in Hard Mode. Plus even if you do not have incredibly powerful Personae, Haru joins perfectly equipped to take down the green robots. The fight is amazingly designed because it expects you to have a strong collection of Personae but even if you don't, you still have a party member that is meant to counter the hardest phase if you use her well.
What's the NO K.O Tittle?
@@CarlosMW
Everytime you beat Devil Survivor you get some achievements like
"Beat x route"
"Finish the game without random battles"
"Finish the game without having any leader be defeated" (the one I am talking about)
And so on
38:34 LOOK GARY THERE I AM!!!
OMG ITS THE GAME SHELF!!!
I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN >//////
I adore the Demi Fiend DDS fight. It’s my favourite fight in the whole series, probably with Lucifer from Nocturne and Elizabeth behind it.
I really want to fight him, but first I need to start playing DDS haha
@@CarlosMW Omg, please do! And push through the noise farming! It only takes like 40-60 hours. I will say, while it isn’t necessary for the fight by any means, I do recommend it!
I still have to beat SMT VX and Soul Hackers first tho haha
@@CarlosMW Soul Hackers 2 isn’t worth your time imo. Soul Hackers 1 definitely is tho.
I forgot all about Margaret in P4 Arena Ultimax. I thought Elizabeth in Persona 4 Arena was annoying enough.
IT'S OUT
I was expecting a comment from you to feature it in the video 😭
@@CarlosMW I gotta let the other guys have the spotlight
Gracias por la traducción
Gracias a ti por mirar el video bro
Megidoladyne is still in my nightmares...
1:12 I think that could apply to any ATLUS rpg, so many hard games with tough enemies. (f**king dinogator)
Are the Dinogator from Etrian Oddysey?
Yep, the one in Nexus is especially frustrating even on picnic difficulty
@@peterwilliams1724 why exactly? I've never played an EO game
You know those superbosses that spam their super attack when low on health? Nexus dinogator does that in the first phase, spamming Pout which does roughly 300 cut damage per hit for 10 hits to random members of your party.
I just beat The Four archangel on SMT IV by over leveling them recently.
I remember I had some issues with Michael the first time I fought him lol
@@CarlosMW I am hunting those Fiends right now on Law mode any tips to make them much appear faster on certain location? Before I go fight the 2 super bosses of ancient of Days and Sanat. I am on Ginza and felt asleep while my N3DS running took me 30minutes still that Cowboy didn't appear, help.
@@markhovscrch4050 im pretty sure there are strats to make them spawn faster, but the chances to appear are like 1/256 lol
A lot of SMT filter bosses make you go: "Oh you're gonna be a particular asshole, huh?" And make you play just as dirty because that's what the game asks you to do in SMT, play dirty.
Playing dirty against the filters pretty much is doing every single thing to counter them lmao
Matador is only bad on first go around as he is the check of the game and he teaches you to prep for bosses HOWEVER there is one section and one boss that is just awful and that is the first trip into the amala network and the specter jumping at the end because once you know of matador you can prep but ever fucking play through of nocturne that first visit and fight are hell as because you are still early on you can’t really prepare matador is a surprise bitch slap if you aren’t using buffs and Debuffs and to make teams for fights and once you do that he’s a difficult but fun fight on the level of the rest of early nocturne while the first visit to the amala network and specter one are a endurance test every run
Edit: I ain’t done yet what makes me say specter the hardest boss is where it is in the game as mot is in the last dungeon before the tower of kaga, Beelzebub is 4th kalpa, Lucifer is the final boss of the true demon ending so you expect these bosses to be hard the specter jumping and amala network one is the second dungeon and boss in the game and these come out of bumfuck nowhere
16:17 that why Dante is a G
Thank you carlos for adding me :,)
Thanks to you for participating!
I would put matador at first this was my first time playing this game after I read that boss is infamous for being the most difficult boy I was dead wrong and he got me 4 times on normal setting
This isn't a list from the easiest to the hardest, it's just a video about the most known hardest bosses from the series haha

Demi fiend is built different

fun fact, you can beat dds1 demi fiend by being completely in human form all fight.
Yup
I mentioned that's possible with the correct build and an iron patience
@@CarlosMW i saw it from robins challenge run. it is insane.
okay but where was sleeping table
Not mentioned enough. However, it still appears in the last minutes of the video
What was the clip of the person picking up the original smt for the super famicom at the start? I’ve never seen it!
It's from the Shin Megami Tensei V commercial
ese peinado me hace recordar a mediados del 2000. debido a que varios artistas tenían ese tipo de peinado... y de hecho tambien me recuerda a yo en el 2008 cuando tenia 9 años, aunque yo lo que buscaba en ese entonces no era eso si no un mohicano
Peinado de los 2000 tal vez jaja

Wtf ATLUS?
Atlus pulled an "Atlus" moment
@@CarlosMW DAMN you atlus
I didn’t find Ouroboros that hard (I wouldn’t call her a joke either) although I respect it for being one of the only bosses that actually utilizes demon coop with the boss being basically a dps race. Here’s the thing though…The game literally gives a demon with Fire Amp in the room before you fight Ouroboros lol. By that point in the game you can easily get 3 demons with agidyne, hell by level 41 you can get both luster candy and debilitate so throw that all together and well goodbye Ouroboros lol. Contrary to popular belief you don’t need passwords to completely break Strange Journeys difficulty but that’s overkill really, Tarukaja and Rakukaja are all you need
Same
Maybe because I played REDUX instead of the original, but still, I don't understand how many people struggle fighting her
tbf i think raidou kuzunoha 1 final boss fight was wayyyy easier than beelzebub or alice, alice boss fight i managed to archive on this channel but i never had that dog in me to manage and beat beelzebub

Shekinah (SJR) and Huang Long (DDS1) missing, but overall great list
Huang Long might be a great candidate, but Shekinah is just a gimmick boss that is easy once you figure out what to do
@@CarlosMW She is not easy, especially if you dont use commander skills, she have multiple phases and test your memory from previous boss battles in Womb of The Grief, and force player to constantly change demons between diffirent alignments. She was more problematic than Ouroboros for me, which is just test of your demon composition. Atleast Shekinah is easier than YHVH from SMT IV Apocalypse.
And I thought Akuma in SF Alpha and Rugal in KOF 2K2UM is unfair .
THEY ARE unfair tho
@CarlosMW Atleas for akuma you can rematch him I think but for rugal ,hoooh boy ,he's gonna kick your ass ,laugh at fou for being pathetic and spit on your body for wasting his time (SNK BOSS SYNDROME)

Hardest Boss in Megaten game angry CarlosMW.
If Sega wants to go the way of Capcom (microtransactions in Dragons Dogma 2) pissed off MegaTen fans at Sega HQ and destroy them completely.
So serious is the greed of the publishers and developers of the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series.

Surprised Beldr wasnt mentioned for DeSu1, bro was so annoying i grinded my party up to late 20s just so i could be sure i could beat his shit in
then again my first non-overeleveled attempt went mostly well until one of his basilisk reinforcements turned Kazuya to stone and then he just killed me, and even thought Yuzu COULD revive me from this in any other scenario, since one of the fail conditions was "Kazuya dies" i just lost then and there... so needless to say my salt from that may skew my view on him a little
Beldr is not hard, but the most annoying part of that battle are those f...ng Basilisk with petrification. Benetnash was a lot harder in Desu 2.
Beldr is so braindead lmao
You literally just zerg him with your mistletoe while having the others defend you. It's not hard in the slightest. There are about a hundred FE fights that are way harder than that.
Another peak video Carlos. Also your Facebook site is my favourite source of Nakajima pics 🫡
Thanks man!
I find it funny that Philemons Persona is literally himself cosplaying as YHVH
