    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:
    - HP: 20000 → 30000
    - Makakaja → Tarukaja
    - He can now use Hell Thrust without shocking a target. I don't know if this is a new move that's replaced something - maybe Maziodyne? Help me out here commenters.
    I took on the Bandou Shrine before Noah in the hope that Demi-Fiend could learn Fire Repel in time for Luci, but alas it was not so. Anyway, all the Deva are easy but Zouchou is the easiest since we have the best damage options and for some reason he still hurts himself with his own repelled element. At least we can't completely wall him with only elec immunity now, although slapping Void Phys on the birds still brings us close. We just have to be wary of thrust crits on Demi. He doesn't use it very often though - I did this battle a lot of times and found that having Demi repel elec is still better than resisting phys.
    We needed an Ice Repel here morph here and it took a looong time, probably a couple of hours of resets. After the amazing luck in the Mithra battle that seems fair enough, and it's the last morph I need to specifically gun for in this run, so I can finally retire the Diarahan morph squad. White Rider comes in at the end for a little XP boost.

    The stock comic-book style grunt of the death SFX for these guys will forever be hilarious to me. Just being able to hear it in the mix along with whatever skill was used to finish them off along with the fade to dust/dark kill animation. You're at the home stretch now Jim! Thanks for all of your suffering from this challenge series along with DDS2.
    A little background of me as a long time lurker, last Friday I bought myself another copy of the DDS games for archival purposes since I feel once SMTV comes out, any MegaTen games that aren't already $100+ on Amazon and such will only skyrocket from here on out (Till Sega finally bonks Atlus hard enough for them to understand modern console/PC ports are low risk/massive profit moves for the company)
    Anyhow this comment became an essay already lmao, sorry for that. Looking forward to the last few fights till the epic conclusion of the run!! :D

      Fishing for skill morphs a la 4:06, Diarahan has a chance to randomly mutate into elemental repels which will make Luci a cakewalk in this mod. The reason they have Mediarahan as well is to stop Diarahan from successfully upgrading (usually 50% odds) so it will go straight to the random pulls

      @JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe  3 года назад +1

      @@deandelvin9924 Well I made a poll for whether I should go all bosses or minimum level Luci and all bosses won out. It is certainly possible at level 53 (true minimum) without Masakados thanks to the element void passives but I think I would've had to route differently to get Void Elec so I could ingest a phys resist magatama. Or just ingest Adama (repels elec) and pray he doesn't use Hades Blast. At that level I would need to keep Life Bonus to survive Infinite Light with reasonable consistency. Endure wouldn't hurt either, but then that's 7 skill slots on defensive passives so all he could do is keep Pierce and throw punches. Most of the damage comes from repelled magic though so it would work out with some luck.
