Goddamn.
Restrictions of the challenge run:
- This shall follow the New Chaos route in the game, and all battles participated in must be fought on the Expert difficulty setting.
- All bosses shall be fight in ascending order according to level, and any exp gain should be minimized where possible.
- Unless explicitly given to us in-game, the use of passwords are forbidden.
- For the sake of simplicity, the production and use of the "March to Death" sub-app is prohibited.
I had to get the Dragon Armor. MC's Magic stat is too low to deal with Mem Aleph's Lighting even with max buffs, and we need him to constantly poke his head out and run support and help deal damage in the second phase of the fight, as Expert mode damage is a fucking joke. So I used a password generator to register a lv.1 Fafnir, killed one to gain the exp as punishment, and then talked to another one to complete the side-quest and get the armor. It's too little exp to really affect the level gain at this stage, but I'm still somewhat disappointed in myself.
1st phase: It starts and we need the four Luster Candies out. I have no clue what triggers Reason's Start. It just seems to happen sometimes if you don't get at least all four out by the time she casts her first death spell, and when she decides to use it has something to do with the turn order, but what that is I have no clue. Does anyone have a clue? No, this boss has been out since 2011 and no-one has a fucking clue whatsoever.
After turn eight, she's a total punching bag. She casts kill spells every four turns so just keep Tetraja up, the way Demon Sources work in this version allows us to farm as many Null Phys as we want so Mother's Kiss is a non-threat, and Brave Heart stops bad Asura Roga and Disaster Cycle rolls. Phys Amp + Zan-Ei your way to phase 2.
2nd Phase: The Reason I needed the Dragon Armor. This phase is sloooooooow due to all the good demons needing at least 3 skill slots for resist skills, so less attack skills to go around, so we have to contend ourselves with doing little damage. Having MC being support is important as Brave Heart protects from Great Flood debuffs, and he can replenish MP. Because this fight is so long, Mem Aleph has more time to pop off MA's, but thankfully, she only used them on Asherah in this attempt, who can actually tank the damage she's dealt without additional buffs. This fight took more resources than I would've liked, and it could've been optimised better (I forgot to equip a different gun, Sabbatma probably could've been swapped), but I ain't trying this shit for a 200th time for better results.
Goddamn.
