He has a devil put aside for me.
**This is a low level challenge run of SMT: Digital Devil Saga. There's only one rule this time round - no gaining EXP outside of forced encounters**
One of the tougher bosses of the challenge, but it really comes down to how soon he uses Dekunda (if at all). Start by casting Null Phys every turn, because his physical attacks hit insanely hard and his crit rate is through the roof. Like last time, you should only stack +/-3 buffs to avoid triggering instant dispel + Power Charge in the 2nd phase. After he loses about 25% health (4000 HP) he'll again announce this phase with Mind Scream. From here on you need to switch to Void Death to prevent instant wipes from Death Flies/Mamudoon.
If he uses Dekunda early on things can become unmanageable - Heat dies to Makakaja + Death Flies even at +3 defence. It's difficult to lower his magic again because every group casting of Debilitate you do exposes you to a potential wipe from Death Flies. It took a few attempts because of this, but fortunately he derped hard this time around. If I were to do this challenge again, I would definitely try to teach Heat Makanda before this fight instead of physical skills he never even ended up using, but hey (hee) ho.
