    Man.

    Level 135 tips, anyone?

    Was this the table boss?

    EDIT: Since I think it was:
    Make the level 40 or 41 lovers persona that has diarahama so you can heal your party for 160 or so each turn. Try to keep the attack down debuff on the table and make sure you equip yourself to the immune to fear item, as I believe his wail attack will instantly kill anyone feared or whatever status ailment it is that he hits you with. The lv 30 something serpent has the item, weak against slash, immune to wind and ice one, I forget the name. Also, try to cure fear whenever you can.

    EDITx2:
    The second persona is a level 28 moon persona I think, orochio- something or other. If that helps.

    I heard that another possibility is
    Elisabeth from the Velvet room
    I still want to know how the hell that works. Can she leave the Velvet Room in Fes? I can't there's much room for romance with Igor sitting in his chair the whole time.

    Also, if you get involved with Beth I wonder if the game over sequence changes at all to show her crying over the fact that you're dead D:

    Good strat.
    The table tried casting fear and some other debuff first three turns, so that gave my team a little time to start carving away at the health. Then he opened up with attacks and I had to heal my team almost every turn from then on, only stopping to cast the attack down spell on him every few turns. Yukari ended up getting KO'd, and after one 50% HP revive just made her get KO'd the next turn, I let her take a nap while Junpei and Ken polished off the last slivers of health. Then Yukari came back, because after boss fights they get resurrected!

    So, about Death
    Does he show up if you've been running around in Tartarus for a long single session? Because I was going through for a long time trying to get a gold shadow and all of a sudden, Mitsuru was like, "Beware I sense a strong presence, it must be Death." And I then I heard chains rattle and I was like what the fuck so I ran like a woman to some stairs

    And Akihiko's
    Persona is really silly looking

    Death
    He shows up when you've been on one floor too long; about ten to thirteen minutes on a normal floor and only three or four on a "special" floor (one with more enemies, no enemies, only gold enemies, etc)

    Akihiko
    Yeah, it really does. At least he can console himself with the fact that it's not Ken's persona.

    Also he's a giant badass, so I imagine that lessens the pain as well.

    Good physical attack, though.

    Eh, I find that Mitsuri and Aigis end up spending a lot of the time casting support spells when I just want them to hit the fucking enemy. Ken's probably my least favorite fighter overall, though -- he just doesn't know when to stop with the goddamn physical spells.

    My Aigis keeps draining her HP with her attack magic.

    Akihiko's bad about this, too.

    And putting Mitsuru on Support is a solid waste of SP. She'll use Diarama if I'm down 20 HP.

    On a lighter note, my Sati & Lamia Personae are <3.

    Especially Sati. She got a great deal out of the fusion process. Lamia knows Mamudo, Magaru, and Mabufu.

    Though I'd like to know why the Hindu Personae don't get a fusion spell...

    That's how all people with healing spells are with the support tactic.

    I tend to keep Mitsuru on All Out or whatever the strategy is where they just attack and don't worry about support skills, except for boss fights so she'll use her Focus ability to double her damage. Gave her a Varna Bracer (Large increase to Ice Damage) which, coupled with her naturally learned Ice Boost/Amp skill makes her a beast.

    Guys about choosing party members, is it better to keep everyone at decent levels for the enemies you are fighting or to focus on who ever you like? Don't want to get into situations where I can't use certain characters because of the story and I'm stuck with low level party members.

    Lamia. Strong to three or four elements, and nullifies one, I think? Only weak to slash damage. Mine ended up with agilao, magaru, mazio, mamudo, marin kirin, and a couple auto-buffs. It's my go-to persona right now. My second place...is probably still a Valkyrie that learned maragi. I'm just not a big fan of most of the mid 20s options. Elephants and horses, bleh. Oberon's pretty good, if only because he's about the earliest option to spread around media, and his lightning resistance is potentially quite useful.

    Alice - Level 56 - Death - Lilim + Pixie + Nata Taishi + Narcissus

    Learns the 35 SP spell Die For Me!, which is like a suped up mamudon (listed as "very high" chance of death instead of just "high") and Mudo Boost which boosts the chance for Dark Spells to hit. Die For Me! is hitting about 85-90 percent of the time. It's beautiful.
