    Is Matador about equivalent to the Minotaur in 4? Or possible Medusa?

    Minotaur and Medusa messed me up a lot in 4. Mostly because I kept getting the "friend" who would cast its strong element and fuck me over. Also Medusa paralyzing everyone to the point I had to evolve a Gremlin to get Raijin that was immune to her guns.

    Then afterwards everything else was smooth sailing. Oh hello there boss monster meet Shiva, Lahkshmi, Metatron, and some dude who also has all the top elemental spells. And so do I. Discern weakness, ready, aim, Smirk.

    Matador is a press turn abuser in the first couple hours of game

    fusing some wind resistant demons + have the attack debuff or fog breathe helps alot

    SMT Nocturne is pretty perfect

    Yea Matador is basically Nocturne's way of telling you that you probably need to actually pay attention to and use ALL the mechanics of the game.

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    That... does sound like Minotaur's function, basically. I guess most SMTs probably have that

    i eventually did beat the fucker with wind resistant demons plus the wind resistant magatama (which i'd been using anyway)

    debuffs were not doing me many favors because he kept doing that spell which cancels 'em. so i'd waste valuable punching him in the face time.

    it was basically just him literally coming out of nowhere and none of my attacks landing that threw me

    it also didn't help that he kept killing my healer

    this is the reason why you debuff. he wastes a full turn casting the removal spell, which means less time spent healing for you

    he gets two moves per turn and was following it with that sword attack what hits everyone anyway, so i chose to heal and punish and heal and punish and took him out quick. because trying not to do that, he'd focus up and sword me to death

    wish i had fog breath tho...

    i started playing shin megami tensei: nocturne recently and nobody warned me about matador

    Nobody expects that Spanish Inquisition.


    There's two ways of fighting Matador: suffering until you get lucky enough to have a good pattern, or bringing Ameno Uzume and/or Null Force and having the battle on auto pilot.

    i don't know what that is and i refuse to look it up because i like these experiences pure

    that is always my goal

    There's one ability you will NEED to have if you want to make it marginally less frustrating:
    Focus.

    Another major ability can be gotten in the (optional) final labyrinth, which is also essential.

    basically the 1-2 combo of fog breath and debilitate have been carrying me thus far

    nothing has been a threat, not even thor

    i'm hoping to learn
    focus

    myself, but i got a guy with it.

    i also may have bought both devil summonet and digital devil saga games just now since they are five bucks a pop in the ps3 store

    One of the earliest Magatama teaches you it, but it might not unlock until later. If a Magatama stops moving when you have it equipped, swap to something else, because it isn't going to learn a new skill yet.

    Mine didn't get hit with that but it sucks.

    My running theory is that Amazon misinterpreted the title and thought they were selling human hearts.

    I did it. Running the last boss at 90+ with Yukiko/Chie/Kanji is not too hard, really.

    Naoto is good for late game dungeon running when you can mahamaon/mamudoon a bunch of shit. So I was running the ladies' party for a while. But Kanji just hits so goddamn hard. Yukiko is the ultimate magic-user, and Chie also hits hard and has Dragon Hustle.

    As someone who took Teddie all the way to endgame and the optional boss, I firmly disagree.

    Marakukaja made him essential. Decent healer, too.

    oh this has nothing to do with how useful he may or may not be, i just hated him so he never got to be in my party

    It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, cj. You used Teddie because you needed Marakukaja, but you needed Marakukaja because you used Teddie.

    If you just kill things before they can move, you don't need defense.

    Kanji has Matarukaja though. Hitting things harder is better.

    Shield of Justice is kind of nice too, albeit also stupid expensive and you could just mediarahan after for half the cost. But I mean it lets you not defend and just keep swinging.

    Not as good as Dragon Hustle, or Yukiko's fire nuke (can't recall the name).

    There are far too many games dropping this spring and it's just awful though.

    Naoto is good for random dungeon mooks

    Chie is better for boss battles
