there is something deeply satisfying about beating the shit out of zelenin with mastema, that's all i'm going to say
now i'm just trying to grind out a few of the highest-level demons before restarting
the level 90+ ones are too much trouble, but i'd like to get to at least level 85 before continuing, get a nice little forma collection too for new game+ funds
Hey, all my Law demons are magical beasts. How many demons are weak to physical in endgame?
As opposed to repelling it?
Yeah, we're really evil, manipulative jerks; but we have great skillset demons.
This is also pretty true in Imagine. The Law demons are magical killers, Chaos are all physical beasts.
Except their Law guys aren't really that evil, especially not compared to Mastema and co.
actually, there aren't many demons who repel physical even in the very end
and thanks to my chaos-special gun, i can bypass all defenses at will anyway, while the rare elemental weakness ends up with a 600+ damage followup with a full-chaos party
either way i do have the occasional spellcaster like huang long in there which is really all i need
Wow, for a level 93 Fiend, Mother Harlot was way easier than expected.
Titania, Nidhoggr and Yggdrasil made short work of her. Debilitate x3 followed by two Gun Amp Grand Tacks a turn. I got lucky and preemptively dropped a Mediarahan when she used her first Babylon Goblet.

I'm at B6 of Horologium now. Sheesh. But I can handle it.

Does Analysis carry over?
As much as I want to see the Chaos path to atone for Law, uh... I'm gonna need a break from first person dungeon crawlers for a while. (There's a reason I took a break from SMTII; one sadistic FPD is enough.)
I have no interest in actually doing this, but with enough source grinding for Deflect skills, you could produce a Doppelganger with all four Deflects and Null Expel and Null Curse. And then call him "Mr. Invincible".
(And then watch him die to Almighty damage. Or get petrified. Or something.)

You could also do this with a Rangda, and have a way less shitty demon. Or really, anything that has more nulls/reflects/absorb.
It also would be completely useless, because it couldn't do anything but attack and defend and wait to get flattened by an almighty spell.

So I took out Trumpeter on a fluke. Girimehkala + Vetala's Madness Crushes saved the day. (Also he didn't use Dekaja, and Horn of Fated himself twice.)
Still not entirely sure what I should be getting for Aleph. I think I might just grind and get better demons as they come, as long as I get one with Luster Candy and one with Acid Breath and War Cry.
I must have been severely overlevelled, because I didn't have much trouble with Trumpeter at all. Both times. I suppose the Tetraja Stone helped, but my Hecatoncheir and Fenrir just Madness Crushed him silly in about three rounds.

Man I am moving on from a suspend save I am kind of committed

that's what i meant, i'm almost flat broke over here
trying to fuse high-level demons means i'm dropping well over 250,000 into my compendium a pop sometimes
but that, at least, was worth it (hello, demonee-ho!)
the unique ultimate sword you get blows the others out of the water, to say nothing of
HEY CJ IT'S GREAT OVER HERE
HOW'S IT GOING WITH YOUR FASCIST ANGELS, EH

That said, I just reached B5. This will be a fun boss fight. Painful, but fun.
Also, a Japanese SJ guide.
Neat cover. Possibly has concept art too? Not paying $35 to find out, that's for sure.
and i laugh with the ability to kill trumpeter in a single turn
i laugh a laugh of FEARSOME POWER
incidentally, the enemy search C demons are kind of a pain in the ass
their forma doesn't sell for much, at least one of them has the ability to insta-kill me, and another can cut my macca in half

law has an exclusive mission path as well that should net you some nice perks
here's how to start it:
there's an angel there who should fill you in
Maps are for the weak.
Or anyone playing Etrian Odyssey's 27th floor.
The navigation is about the same. I'd say EO takes longer, but both have their difficulties.
Let's do that, and add Sanctums, so they have to do it three times!

I already hit two of the switches, but there's a third in Area B that's just out of reach.
i'm already level 87
i don't want to grind up high enough to create the last few, but i need money, so i keep getting experience while grinding for forma

Yep, figured it out not long after.
(Note: I did not use a single map; I made it through the game's dungeons on my own. So it is possible.
Just tedious. :P)
And I reached the boss not long after that.
You guys weren't kidding. This is some madness. It's like I was just a buzzing fly to her.
really
why let me keep everything except for my SOURCES
do you have any idea how hard i worked for those
As much as I want to see the Chaos path to atone for Law, uh... I'm gonna need a break from first person dungeon crawlers for a while. (There's a reason I took a break from SMTII; one sadistic FPD is enough.)
and they remove the cap for summoning, so you can create whatever you want early on
but what's the point, without sources even the highest-level demons are pretty anemic compared to your customized ones
your equipment carries over too, so you won't even need the demons
and if you've been diligently killing trumpeters and enemy search C demons like i have, well
there are a few new accessories for sale
remember the ring of varna in symphony of the night
one of them is basically that
Nocturne basically gives you jack.
Congratulations! Here's a new jacket and some pants.
Also, I ran into Trumpeter before reaching Aleph the first time.
Ouch. I got wasted. Does he have any weaknesses?
I'm kicking about at level 51, and... I think I'm going to need to Forma grind if I'm gonna take him down reliably.
Or, more attack mirrors.
Turns out his adds are weak to Hama skills, so I made use of that, leaving just... Jack himself.
The last time, I had a shot, but then he healed himself four times in a row before I just turned off the DS in defeat.
two words
I like the cut of your jib, Rust. :^:

Salvation would be nice too.
