Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

Part 132




Update 78

Should have been posted hours ago, but I blame not Demon's Souls for this. No, this is the fualt of Jumping Jack Flash on Elite Beat Agents.



This is pretty much the final stretch. Let's move forward, shall we?



This is th second to last boss. Not counting EXTRA ones (Youtube)
It is Meganada (Viddler)
No, we never get to know who was Meganada before becoming a demon (Veoh)




And he is a huge motherfucker.



Oh boy, it has at least 3 more biteyboobs than Argilla



EXTENDABLE biteyboobs.





Meganada is very strong.
Also I could've brought Roland for the fight, but he lacked vital mantras for the situation.




He hits hard, and he hits A LOT.


And loves to do the Mad Rush.





Pyriphlegeton is more effective against it than Reincarnate, but since Gale has more pressing duties when THAT is useful, it is not used a lot in the fight.





When Meganada uses its Moksha skill, it changes shape, and affinities. It goes from a physical based asshole, to a magic based asshole with the strongest Electric attack in the game.




Elec drain is a definite must for this fight. Magic Repel is no good, since Meganada is healed by electricity. (Clearly storing the bastard in the power plant was not one of the best ideas they had, unless it was the goddamn powersource)



Other than the (not yet seen) electrical attack, he uses a variety of Dyne level skills.



Reincarnate does the job, somewhat.



Whenever it uses Black Bhatki, and is in Magic form, it will use the electric spell. It is pretty.




Well that ain't pretty.



But that is. Not pictured: Huge electric spheres. Gale would have been fucked, and likely instantly killed without the shield.



After Meru is over, this is convenient some times, since it also likes to us Fatal Charm and whatnot. It is annoying, honestly.



But NOOOO, it had to change forms. Again.




Well, at least that makes it more succeptible to Reincarnate.






Rinse, repeat, hope you don't die.





While in magic form, Meganada is weak against physical attacks.
Roland was really kind of suicidal, wasn't he?



Oh god damn it.



Oh double god damnit.





But hey, at least something good came from that.




With those two like that, it is VERY possible to get a game over.





Aw why did she have to do that?

MONEY does not grow on tress! (not like there are any trees in the sun, but whatever, and technically, plants are the biggest source of money for the party, but technicalities, technicalities)




This is a bad situation.
But it is promptly remedied when Seraph goes back to.. His? Her? Its? Their? HIr? senses. Bah.






Now shown: Biteyboobs. That does NOT count as a physical attack since I was pretty sure I had Phys Repel active.










It is a goddamn long fight.








And it can get infuriating, since the bastard speeds up the form change.





And uses the tentacled biteyboobs efficiently.



But, in the end, it had to fall.




Or maybe they are biteypenises. They go all limp when it dies. I don't know.





"Tentarafoo
Stun Wave
Null Panic
Null Poison"




"Mediarama
Closdi
Cursedi
Dormina"








Everyone levelled up.



And the last lift is reached.



And conveniently, anothr Terminal. This looks like a good spot to save.


Next: Advancement? Optional crap?
