Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

Part 120: Holes in the sun.




Update 66

Let's advance. This area is enormous, and advancement is slow. Many, many new enemies and not so interesting stuff, but we'll get there.


Ah, Athena.
Wikilink
Does she appear in any of the Persona games? I know that she is kindamaybesorta Aegis' Persona, but not sure if she appears in any of the other games.




And Skadi, as she appears in Nocturne.
Wikilink
It would be silly if she had skis, wouldn't it?




And at last, the dungeon that has an excuse to be incomprehensibly abstract. Not going to complain at all about thecrazy layouts, except when they are aggravatingly annoying. So far, pretty straightforward.



This is the elevator, to change between layers and such.




Not much to say, except that they do what they are supposed to do.




"Mahamaon
Rakunda
Null Expel"



And then there are these holes, that make you fall to the previous layer. Unfortunately they are also many times behind one-way doors.




Clearly, since the Soma was acquired, there is nothing to do on that area anymore.

Useless or somesuch.



Annoying, annoying one way doors.The layouts are not exactly simetrical, but at least the complexity is kind of getting higher.




Yup. Wronog turn, do the entire previous layer. Again.




Let's try this other one.



"New Banquet
Leech
MIN Critical"





And level up!



Oh my oh my!
Omoikanes!

SUCCESS! Yes! And so on and so forth. That is a very good thing.



And then I blow it up by not pressing left enough.



But that allows one to use this, and still save the day!




Oh yes.




Amazing success.





All but one were hit.



"Materadyne
Earth Resist"




"Megido
Mind Charge"




"Teradune
Heavy Rock
Earth Amp"






Woop woop.



Luck, not being the highest stat? What madness has infected me?








Notice: Roland failed to level up.
That is wrong.



It will have to be fixed.



And then almost immediately, ANOTHER level up.



Definite increase in complexity, and still being somewhat symetrical. Those one way doors leading to holes are getting in my nerves.



Meet the Life Node.




Well, that is not symetrical.





Hopefully the next elevator will lead to advancement.





And it does! What one was searching for: The Small Data Node.

New mantras are getting unlocked left and right.






Roland gets something cheap by now.




Seraph gets something already paid for.



And partially filled.




That by that point is practically a bargain.




This, affordable, nothing more.




And this works.

Next: Advancing more. Maybe starting to get tired of the dungeon, maybe.
