**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**
Nearly there... Null Mute on everyone and Fire Resist on Serph are essential for this one. Expel Resist is handy too. Metatron's buff removal is weird, I found if I tried to stack a variety of buffs he would Dekaja pretty quickly, yet he didn't bother at all when I just maxed magic and defence. He uses Dekunda a little more often, but still nothing to worry about. Just make sure you have buffs stacked once he loses 1/4 of his HP (he has 17000) - at this point he'll start using his almighty spells. Mind Charge + Fire of Sinai is the big threat here, especially to Cielo with his low magic. You want to be at +4 defence to have a hope of survivng this. Fortunately he will always announce it by using Makakaja twice, which gives you a little time to prepare and heal up.
