    It came to my attention that Persona 3 bosses have limited SP pools like they do in 4 and 5, if it turns out that all of Nyx’s phases share from the same singular SP pool despite the 13 unique HP bars, you could simply let the party die at Magician or Priestess by preference and hunker down until Nyx Avatar stops casting magic. Then brute force the rest of the fight without fear of Moonless Gown or Night Queen at the Death phase. I think, this is a huge leap.

    Honestly I would've not objected to you using Save States for the Nyx Arcana Phases.
    I think it could have been a nice middle point between keeping your sanity while maintaining the "Spirit of the Run".
    In any case, great video and huge thumbs up for getting basically there! Keep the good stuff coming!

    (SPOILERS FOR THE RESULT OF THE CHALLENGE)
    There's something almost poetic about how this ended: the challenge was impossible, but you pushed to the end and fought as hard as you could despite that. Let's just call this the timeline where Ryoji was right that Nyx cannot be defeated, but SEES still fought to the bitter end for humanity's souls. FR tho, it's insane you managed to get this far in the grindiest Persona game of them all (that is the modern ones with life sim elements, not including 1 and 2). You are a madman.

    1:20:03 - Can confirm. Two other RUclipsrs gave it shot, the first was RPG challenge-runner (mainly no grinding or 0 EXP) MoogleBoss. They made it to Nyx Avatar and even fudged the rules a bit by beating The Reaper before Takaya (in part to grinding fixed damage stones and leaning on those for DPS). They had to give up though because recording the Nyx Avatar fight for hours at a time kept crashing the game during promising runs. The other was Jodi Mckillop, who actually succeeded two years ago and put the hour of footage up.

    i have seen videos of low level TDE in nocturne and from what i've seen it seems easier to do this challenge in nocturne than in persona thanks to 4 tiers of buffs and because your party members are heavily customizable demons
    persona 1 might be possible because you can get megidolaon stone from casino near the beginning

      Jim Reaper did low-level Hard TDE in Nocturne Hardtype, with on 46(?) points of EXP from anything other than bosses or other mandatory battles. Considering how this mod cranks up the difficulty, this is seriously impressive!

  • @mayborneflower
    @mayborneflower 11 месяцев назад +6

    1:16:59 - Why not split the experience with only Ken once you get him? The extra experience from two less party members hogging the EXP could let him get full-party healing AND let him do more damage on downed enemies with Cruel Attack to substitute for All-Out Attacks (which would be even more hilariously weak than they already are due to your even lower low levels across the board). Plus the stronger single meat shield with the power to heal is likely be handier than the three weakling meat shields that have to totally lean on you for everything. Doubt you’d have enough extra EXP to get Vile Assault or Diarahan though.

    there's an exploit with the carnal snakes fight. they like to cast fire break on anyone with fire immunity. idk if your aigis didn't have dekunda yet at that point, but she can cast it constantly to remove the effect of fire break forcing the snakes to recast it. have a fire immune protagonist, koromaru and junpei attack and keep taking fire breaks for an infinite loop.

    Alright, finally able to watch this video. Great job man, even though i don't know whether you be the first person to beaten Nyx Avatar without Grinding or Low Level here
    Also, the logic here is that Story Mode Boss Fights which have fixed dates (such as the Full Moon or EXP have massive EXP like a Boss Fight Should. But all Tartarus Guardians have the same EXP as Normal Random Encounters for some reason. Sometimes even worse than Random Encounters because you can use Wand/Leaves on Shuffle Time to increase EXP. Yeah, i have no idea why Tartarus Guardians have pitiful EXP, because it encourage Grinding in Tartarus perhaps? *Shrugs*

    Is say that you could say mandatory includes side quest shadows if you say your playing for 100% completion and that includes new game plus as you could say 100% includes seeing all endings. So the strategy would be to get the bad ending with as high a completion percentage possible such as side quests end and then start a gain from a better position. Yes this does mean doing repeat guardians but I'd call that what you need to get to the side quests and thus still mandatory.

    Good to know where Ann learned how to spam Dekaja, she learned from the Carnel Snake enemies.
    How fitting that Girimehkala came to your rescue here after the pain he caused during the Doing Nothing Run of P5R.
    A shame you could not finish, but I still salute you for getting as far as you did. o7
    Something I am wondering about is seeing as the party was over level 43, would Yukari have been the better choice over Ken since she would have had Mediarama, although, the fact that Nyx can use Almighty Strike twice in a row might throw a monkey wrench into that idea.
    Having recently beat P3P for the first time, I experienced the difficulty spikes of Persona 3 firsthand, even with direct commands being added in Portable, I still found some of the fights brutal and required a bit of finesse to get through.

We should be able to calculate exactly what level you'd get up to, so what level is that? And could you win using that level? It's hard to say but it's got me curious about the hypotheticals

    I was expecting you to use save states at the start of each phase during the Nyx fight (or just abuse them outright), so I'm a bit surprised you didn't even mention the possibility while listing other things you wouldn't do to beat Nyx. I'm also kinda wondering how a Makoto-only min battles run would go now...
    On a sort of related note, I've wondered for a while how hellish a run where you waited until 1/31 to fight any Tartarus guardians would be. Considering the grind it would probably require to be able to beat the Full Moon Shadows without reaching higher levels of Tartarus, I doubt it would really be worth considering unless you used cheats to get Monad early without any of the other advantages of NG+, and that would be its own hellish grind early on.

      @@nothingness4068 counter, that's not good build up at all.
      Compare it p5s build up
      The whole game builds around the topic of problems of society, every arc they mention Mementos question why it exists and how
      Now flash to persona 3
      The big build up to death doesn't happen until the very end of the game, instead of steady arc build ups all of them have their big arcs around the same time and that's forgetting the whole point of nyx is that she is here because humanity wants to die.
      That is literally not mentioned at all until the final arc of the game

      @@LightKing1237 counter counter, the player is wondering the whole game what tartarus is, and after takaya calls it the tower of demise, you become even more interested in the tower. all of strega is constantly talking about death and they appeared pretty early on. Pharos constantly mentions "the end" and he's literally the first charecter you encounter

    challenge seems fun but god damn the random complaints with overused and false jokes thrown in really makes it hard to watch
