Part 111: ALL TOGETHER NOW (With Michael)

Update 57


The next target is in a rather unintuitive place, but before, we'll see what the other humans still alive have to say.


"The order came from the Chief Director.
She mentioned using the Shaman to stop God, but that doesn't make sense...
The EGG was destroyed, and that's the only way to speak with God--and she had us dispose of the inhibitor.
Without all that, it's just not possible."




"But it was just a normal cat."







"What do you mean, he talked?"



First conjecture: It could have been added to the simulation, like the rest of the Embryon. It has stranger properties than that though.




"Serph was responsible for the Cyber Shaman's mental stability.
Heat monitored her physical health.
Argilla was a nurse who worked under Heat.
Serph brainwashed Argilla and used her as a spy, to keep Heat out of his way."

And here it is, summary of the events of the previous updates.




"Look, if it is not on my list, then I do not care!
This sale's huge, and I'm not going to miss it for anything!"




Let's check out the park.




"I would also wonder what it means to die.
Is simply existing considered life?
In that case, would disappearing be considered death?
Is life really nothing more than data--words with representation?
Then, what have we been living for?"






"I could feel everyone's solar data stabbing into me.
But, something is still missing."




Clearly Fred is an atheist.




"I feel sad...
But, it kinda feels like dey're not really gone."





"I wish I'd gone camping as a kid..."





"I'm refined!"




"I blame the educational system!"




"I used to think I could take care of myself, but I can't really do much of anything."




The airport is not yet to be visited. The last angel lies in the very first area visited.



The Occupied Sector.





The empty sector that goes to the Surface.







Behind this door. The last optional bosses to be seen before the Airport.

Also, it explains what happened to the others (Veoh)
The biggest, baddest non-fallen Angel is there. (VIDDLER)
Meet Michael! (Youtube)




There they are. All of them.
Notice: Image quality differs from what is seen in the vid.





But it is not SMT 2 :P





And with that, the hardest set of bosses (so far) appears.



They are the same as when previously encountered.
Only that they all fight one after the other. That can be a bit difficult (particularly Gabriel and big Mike himself)





Uriel is still weak against Ice, so Serph and Sera both have a good time against it.






One has to be somewhat careful with buffs in this fight. There is a reason for that.



All in all, Uriel is not a very dangerous target.







Raphael is still weak against Electricity and being annoying.







Elec Amp and Ziodyne come in handy for this fight.




Gabriel, just like in her first appearance can be VERY dangerous without voiding ailments.






Hooray for Rock-Paper-Scissors elemental weaknesses, eh?







Just like in SMT 2, she is sympathetic. But must still be fought.








Aww




When she is dead, someone else appears.
Someone that is an asshole.





This is not a good idea.
Michael does not like it if one buffs more than 2 times.






This is the number one skill that I would like to have added to the skill pools in both DDS and Nocturne.
Maybe also in Devil Survivor.




Then he either Mind Charges and Megidolaon, or Power Charges and Deathbound. Not pretty.



If the conditions for unleashing that are not met, he just uses Dyne level spells.











Hey I was wrong, it was not Deathbound.
It was Ragnarok, which is even worse.







When he is damaged to half his total health, he changes tactics.





Okay that doesn't sound pretty.



It isn't.

(Yes, that is why the video is different from the screencaps)




TO SEE HOW THE BATTLE WENT, the video is suggested.



"Full Banquet
Chakra Walk
MAX Critical"




"Hell Fang
Consume
AP Divide"









No one knows.
But we'll see. Maybe.
