SMT: Nocturne Hardtype - Orthrus/Yaksini/Thor (Low Level)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- "HAHAHAHA" - Lilim, 2020
Rules:
- This is a low level run of zombero's hardtype mod: www.romhacking...
- 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:
- Orthrus HP: 1000 → 1800
- XP: 150 → 300
- Yaksini HP: 1200 → 2400
- XP: 300 → 400
- Zandyne → Tornado
- Thor HP: 2000 → 3300
- Ziodyne → Mjolnir (Mega elec damage + high chance of shock)
- Diarama now heals considerably more
This trio of bosses is as basic as ever. Orthrus and Yaksini are both somewhat scripted (they seem to always use specific spells at certain HP thresholds, meaning if you rush them down quick enough they'll never use physical attacks). Yaksini is particularly funny - having spread Void Force around to everyone, the battle is literally impossible to lose. Getting Anti-Mind to upgrade to Void Mind here was essential for the upcoming fights against Dante and Daisoujou, and will remain incredibly useful throughout the game.
Thor is the only somewhat tricky customer. His crit rate is through the roof and even with max buffs a crit will one shot your demons if he lands one. Fortunately he misses a lot at +2/-2 and mostly opts to focus on electric spells, which can only hurt the Demi-Fiend. Mjolnir is scary and there's another Sketchy Hardtype Moment™ here, but hey, a win is a win. In hindsight I could've put some of the 10 million Magic Mirrors I've acquired from pester to use here, but then that would just drag the battle out and give him more chances to critspam me to death instead.
- After so many warnings about the Dante fight I couldn't resist playing just a little further.
- 10:21 tho
- Full disclosure: I did make a savestate after the Yaksini battle so I didn't lose Void Mind. I really can't take Dante on without it. I hope this doesn't sully the run for the purists among you :^)
- Orthrus and Yaksini actually give slightly more XP in hardtype, which is nice I guess.
- I never heard Lilim's Wing Buffet laugh before, but now I can't get enough of it.
- I haven't mentioned the new summon/withdraw system yet. Being able to parachute demons in and out like that is so much better, one of the best improvements of hardtype I think. Like how I can have Preta use Fog Breath in the first round vs. Thor then get him the hell out of there and still spend all 4 of my press turns on buffs. Well I've used this in most fights and will continue to do so.
save states? :O what have you become? next youll tell me you wont use dynamic attack shep for the run.
"Being able to parachute demons in and out like that is so much better, one of the best improvements of hardtype I think." This is especially true after you get Heat Riser, which is also a great improvement.
This system also makes it easier to recover from a boss killing a demon, so this mod could afford to have bosses use skills like Satan's retribution. It would be possible to create more complex situations for the player to deal with.
You've never heard Lilim's laugh but I've never heard Preta's fog breath noise. Sounds like he's farting very loudly.
@@corgisaregood this is why I love this channel, Jim is good at unearthing stuff you've never seen before
Hahahaaa
3:10 Lilim asking the most important question of this run.
09:18 That almost became one of those "nocturne is a fair and balanced game" highlights.
10:16 as well
I mean, in a way, Nocturne *is* fair and balanced when that shit happens to the enemy.
After all this time, Lilim finally got that Sukukaja.
Just realized Aeros casts spells by coughing
Doesn't even keep social distancing, what a douche...

Man really can't help himself but play more Nocturne
I dont blame him lol the game is fun af!!!
Gotta reject them gods
@‡ Nocturne is that one abusive girlfriend/boyfriend you just can't get enough of for some reason no one understands, including you.
@@AllBeganwithBBS Nice name/pfp combo
Where's that juicy new intro that you said you'll be using
It's for special occasions
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
- Preta, 2020.
Xephy holy shit when I heard that I burst out laughing. Never used Preta other than an early game fusion, so that caught me off guard.
I was in absolute awe over the power of the scream.
I suppose that's one of the beautiful things about low level runs, you get to see and hear stuff you wouldn't normally.
"Why?" vs "OoOooOOOo"
i prefer Thor's "gyyyAAAAA!!"
Ok Lilim's laugh is so cute
what does Jim smell like
probably like a gamer
smells like teen spirit.
British.
Jim making us feel his suffering
Can't wait to watch Dante fighting himself
Also, can't wait for Lilim and Koumoku to be in the same team ;')
Geez the only thing i don't like about hardtype is zombero give boss more hp too much. Anyway great content as always
Add the full Kagutsuchi encounters to the list. Getting the Foul, Haunt, and Wilder demons through negotiations are near impossible without them begging for mercy or using Jive Talk.
@@Ashcoop Yeah I like the idea of FKE but this has been a nightmare. Just had to run around until I get one in a random event. If zombero ever returns it would be good to make it so you can recruit those demons on new Kagutsuchi, or make Jive Talk an early game skill
One quirk in Hardtype is that demons that are muted are able to use items - I wonder if you can put this to some use by having a turn bot use Attack Mirrors or something.
Uh, what? Is this a feature or a bug?
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe Feature but zombero didn't included that on the patch notes (like he always do)
@@Orbitthemaster Damn. That could've been really useful vs Specter if there's a way to get muted early on, the entire party could spam Megido stones. Definitely have to keep this in mind for future battles...
I'm halfway through Hardtype and I've only heard of this now, better late than never I guess.
@@Orbitthemaster Actually this is a bug, Zombero wanted to fix it but haven't figure how to do it.
Petra deadass just blared a truck horn and called it a skill
it's the first time i ever see preta do that lmao
hahahahaa~ (^˵◕ω◕˵^)
Time to get more serious Agilao
I remember Thor giving me so much shit in the base game...
Now we’ve got Jim being a madman, destroying him in low-level hardtype.
I came
do you have a like catalogue of all the items you've gotten from demons from hours of pestering?
Just non-buyable stuff off the top of my head:
Elementals in Amala - Aquamarines (trade in 3 for Bead Chain) Opals (can be used to get 1 Attack Mirror, unfortunately the other gem required isn't farmable AFAIK) and Megido Rocks. Erthrys are better than Aeros, they have the same pool of items but ask for less money.
Datsue-Ba - Chakra Pots. All female demons can give Chakra Pots actually but I find them most common from these.
Lilim - Magic Mirrors
Angel - Occasional Soma Droplets and once I got a Soma
High Pixie - Tetraja Rocks, and very rarely Balm of Rising. Notable because you can't encounter High Pixie in Ginza in vanilla Nocturne.
There's other common stuff like Revival Beads, elemental stones etc. but those are mostly junk that I sell.
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe yo I just asked one of the developers of the randomizer of this game for a table of all the items you can get from negotiation, figured you'd appreciate it lol pastebin.com/8vmki68d
seems like the only way to get a turqoise is stone hunt an erthys at 5% :( that'd be awful to route in
set 1 appears to be items you can get from "failed" recruitment negotiations (as in they decide not to join you but part with an item), or if they ask a question (or request item) at the start of battle.
@@mpghappiness This is really cool thanks. It lines up with my recollection that from Ikebekuro onwards every demon seems to have the same lame standardized set of items they can give, seems like the devs only put thought into the barter mechanic for the early game. It would be cool if a future hardtype patch could improve this but it's not exactly a high priority mechanic (I'm sure 99% of people ignore these skills anyway)
And yeah Stone Hunt on Erthys is kinda useless, by the time you can do that you're pretty close to Tetrakarn anyway
Btw where did you find this? Love this kind of detailed info
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe my friend just compiled it after I asked; he's done a lot of reverse engineering for the game
Idk why but nocturne really makes me want smt4 apocalypse on switch too
you like shin megami tensei nocturne dont you squidward
"Diiie!"
"GWEEEEAAAAAHHH!"
Why does Shikigami have both War Cry and Tarunda?
Idk, not gonna use him again so wasn't really thinking about it. Just filling him out with buffs for the compendium.
I wonder if Jim will be bored with nocturne by the time the hd version comes out.
Mhhh that leotard ...
Straight into my veins. New sub, absolutely loving this stuff!
are magic builds viable in hardtype?
Yeah they’re really good in hardtype. The only problem is when your doing all magatama you need 24 strength which means wasting around 20 levels into strength.
Yes, but I'm not sure I can in LL :( I think I still need at least 15 strength to break the boulders in the Amala game, which is essential for money grinding. And then if I want to get Gaea to showcase the optional bosses I'll need 25 strength (EDIT: 24)
Right now I'm still just pumping vit anyway so Demi doesn't die to everything.
Now do every Eligor encounter on Assembly of Nihilo
sir are u trying to make us all unsubscribe
Always has been
I know it's super far away but I just can't imagine surviving Kagutsuchi 's Divine Light with lower stats
im sure this has been asked, but how do you recruit demons and gather items without gaining xp?
Recruit - just talk to them without killing anything else
Items - Pester skill + Amala warp zone
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe jesus fucking christ
im sure it's not as bad as it sounds but goddamn
go to bed jim
B-but Morgana, it's 9am...

Gyeaaaaaaaahhh
Well this is going to be fun
Bruh your continuing this?
Up to Daisoujou for now. Consider it my 3666 subs celebration!
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT
9:50 is that hardtype exclusive?
Yep, all elements got mega damage variants so magic wouldn't be outclassed late game, and they're compatible with Pierce to boot
Thor (as an ally) is an absolute beast in hardtype
Hype
Now, that reminds me of that one Doujin with Demi and Yaksini...
Pretty darn good if I can say so myself.
Sauce please, kind sir?
