Part 137

UPDATE FINAL

Now back to business.



The cat is there, waiting for Seraph to do hir business.






So enlightenment can't be teached/transferred?




Reacching nirvana, and going out of the reincarnation cycle.
But then again, the intro for DDS2 doesn't make it look like Serph and Sera got fully out of it.






And there it goes.

Yes. God is a giant brain. A giant electric blue brain. Makes sense.
Why not?








God can and will do that. See: Other SMT titles.




Is god dead?
No.





Apparently, God was not just the brain. It was something else.




Something else indeed.
What.



The hell. That is a Nocturne Terminal.



Down to the glowy bits. The same





Uh.






Well that was likely not the original plan but since God is apparently a weird... Head... Thing that goes into infinity and has Nocturne terminals everywhere, no reason why not to comply.




Meet God: Brahman.

Wikilink for Brahman
And for Brahma itself.
The boss likely references the first link's concept. Yes.




It has several phases. The first one is fire-baseed. In each phase, it is convenient to put a shield against its particular element.
Like so.



And DEFINITELY avoid using its selected element against it.





That way a lot of grief is saved.









It will sometimes also attack with element-less attacks. Seems like physical, to me.






Eventually, enough damage is dealt to it to finish that phase.





And then one is transported to the second phase. Wind.






Same rules apply. A Force/Wind shield must be up at the end of EVERY turn. Failure to do so could lead to pain.







Yeah. That can happen as well. AIlment protection is reccomended greatly for this fight.
Dormina-Calm Death is incredibly assholish too the player, as usual.








Rakukaja is definitely one of the best things to have for the solar bosses. Every single one likes to use that.






Gate of Hell does that without protection.






Damn it.




But once again, enough damage and ANOTHER switch.
This is likely the most abstract of the SMT bosses.



And now, Earth. Same deal, even if it adds a couple more moves to its repertoire.





Like this. Skull Ring deals with it.






Without appropriate protection, though...







Doing this can be risky, it is in case the next attack finishes it.







If it is done properly, it can pay off nicely, since it would make Brahman lose its turns, and heal Gale, instead of shocking him.




There it goes. If that goes wrong, the entire fight can be lost in this phase. Not fun.






Likely its most dangerous move. It debilitates the party, and CHARGES Brahman. Not good news. That is another reason why if things go wrong in this phase, everything can be lost.



Like so.




The next few turns should be used to dekunda, dekaja, debilitate and Charge.








And now, ICE.






Same rules. Etc.







A Mind Charged Reincarnate can be very effective.





But this can happen. This is distressing.






Oh god damn it.

At least it doesn't have HUNGER. Or Bat. Those would make the fight worse, I guess.




That doesn't bode well.









But it doesn't need to.




Oh man.







But in the end, it goes down. As it should.

Is it vomiting data?










They beat the crap out of god. Aleph would be proud.











Flashbacks to everything, I guess.






















Schroedinger out of nowhere. Like usual.





Transforming into something else. Why not? It can switch sizes, we've already seen that.




Feet?





... Thong and shorts?



Wait what.




Wait WHAT.






what.







...




And thus, the sun returns to its regular form. No longer stoning people, instead just giving them skin cancer.








People can go out again. No longer needing more than good sunscreen to not die horribly.





The battle has been won.




AND NOW BACK TO THE INTRO.





I wonder if reincarnated Jenna is just like the original. And now my mind feels like it needs bleach. Egh.




I like how everyone dresses just like their previous incarnation. Right down to Heat's cape.






There it goes.
