Snek me up inside
Lowdown on the restrictions of this challenge:
- EXP gain is only permitted in boss fights and forced encounters, and must be minimised by only having 1 character active at the end of each battle.
- Autolevelling must also be minimised as much as possible. Argilla and Roland take all XP before they leave the party to reduce the impact of this later on, and Argilla's level must not exceed 12 so it doesn't affect Sera's starting level.
- This is a cycle 2 playthrough on hard difficulty with no data transfer bonuses.
- I will be fighting all bosses rather than doing a true minimum EXP run, cuz that's more fun. And let's face it, you're only here for Satan.
- The use of Data items to permanently raise stats is forbidden for as long as possible - at least until Shiva.
Power Plant time. Nothing to see here. Cook the snakes and eat em.

![SMT: Nocturne Hardtype - Clotho/Lachesis/Atropos (Low Level)
[creepy ambient music intensifies]
Rules:
- This is a low level run of zomberos hardtype mod: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3299/
- The aim is to keep XP gain as low as possible without affecting my sanity.
- Hard mode, obviously
- No stat boosting items
- All other game mechanics are fair game!
Hardtype changes:
- Clotho HP: 2200 → 4200
- Attack → Drain Attack
- Marin Karin/Dia (?) → Stun Needle/Megido
- Diarama now heals considerably more
- Lachesis HP: 2200 → 4200
- Attack → Attack All
- Atropos HP: 2600 → 5000
The main change here is Clotho, who is way more irritating now. Her new improved Diarama heals over 1k even with her magic debuffed all the way, so you can get caught in a heal loop if youre unlucky. However, she doesnt start healing until shes lost about 1k HP, so you can skip over this annoyance altogether with good timing and a lucky crit or 2. We want to max out our defences for her and Lachesis so they dont wipe us out, but this isnt necessary for Atropos who is no threat at all to a team without elemental weaknesses. Still a rather easy gauntlet overall. The use for Nozuchi and Inugami will become clear in the next video.
