Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

by Luisfe

Part 69: Prison Pelvic Thrust.




Update 15:



Well, since there is nothing more to be done upstairs, it is time to advance and go forth. The next part is one of the most annoying parts, but slightly less horrible than the Dante Tag on Nocturne. Somehow, more disturbing, though.




Goddamn Jailer (Viddler)
The Jailer and the Jail, first Floor (Youtube)
This video was posted three times on Viddler, and each and every time it failed to be shown in any state other than "preprocessing", in no case were the title or description passed through, and I thought it had failed. It did not, but it was annoying.
It also failed to be posted on Youtube for a while, for some reason. I do not understand. The Youtube version also had to be even more compressed, so it will probably look slightly worse, I don't know.



Oh boy. Something there, waiting for the Embryon.

Ugly bastard, isn't he?



And what's worse, he makes ample use of PELVIC THRUSTS.




And he is right. He is pretty much invincible at the moment. He gets the first turn, always, and tends to either one-shot a single character, or do this.

Heeey, it isn't Monopoly.




Is this the end for the Embryon?

Of course it is not. There is a pretty annoying segment to be passed, though.

"As long as he's around, there's no way we can release the prisoners.
But we came up with a plan. Listen...
Even though the people of the Society turned into demons, most of them still don't want to eat flesh that's raw.
Cannibalism doesn't appeal to many humans--apparently not even demonized ones. So, they use this factory to process human caracasses into canned food.
Which of course, the Jailer eats.
If we can do something with his food, we may be able to catch him off guard.
Another one of us is finding out what can be done with the food. I'll open the door--hurry!
He should be in one of the cells to the east, when you knock on his door, he'll ask you about the weather. Tell him about the 'unbearable solar noise,' and he'll let you in."





"I need to hide before someone finds me. Good luck!"


When one goes out, the Jailer notices, and it is time to run away!

"Hyeh heh... But that doesn't matter. It's been a long time since I've felt the thrill of the hunt!"



Kind of hard to see, but the Jailer is moving slowly towards the party. If he happens to find himself in the same row or column as the party, he'll start running, which can get kind of unnerving, particularly in the later floors.

And something to be considered, he does NOT stop while you are in dialog with one of the doors. He will continue.

And obviously, you have to try many, many of the doors before you find the appropriate one.



This one is better if you read it with one of the House of the Dead 2 voices.

About damn time.



Obviously, there are different answers if you give the incorrect response. But, better to go and do the right thing at the moment.




"I did some research, and the Jailer prefers meat that's been... aged for 15 years. Try not to think about it. It is disgusting.
Another one of us is looking for ingredients and things... You should go help him out. He should be on B2, on the west side.
He'll ask you what's for dinner. Answer back, 'canned surprise.'"




"It wasn't easy getting the guard's key card... but I did it. You can use it to get downstairs."



"It's up to you no. Hurry! Before they see you!"

Of course, the Jailer won't let one advance easily, no sir.

Goddamnit.





Ain't that fun to get captured, you know.




"But you can't even get out of a simple jail cell!?
I guess AI's are no match for the real thing! Breehahahahahahaah!"




"You met up with the other guy, right?
If we can pull this off, we should be able to release the prisoners. We're counting on you."




Time to try it again.

Success!
Once you go to a lower level, the Jailer will follow you there, but he will stay in that particular level. That is a good thing, if one had to do all levels in one go, it would be quite terrible.



He gets a very annoying laugh. When I captured the video/screenshots they didn't look that dark. Hm, will have to mess around with the settings again.

The Jail, second floor (Viddler)
Goddamned Jailer (Youtube)



The way things blur when they move in the game is kind of annoying.




obviously, this one is not part of the video, since the video has a succesful run to the cell.





Cielo falls, the Jailer is quite simply, too much for the party at the moment. There is something far worse than the jailer to come later, though.















Once again, HOUSE OF THE DEAD VOICES.



And those are the B1 voices. Now, backto B2 and where the video is. But before, Mantra acquisition.
The delay is not significant, since the Cellblocks area does not have a single random encounter, so no wasted AP there.

"We figured out exactly what we need to feed the Jailer...
It's inside one of the cells on the south end of B3. Just throw it into the meat processing machine on the first floor.
After that, go to the control room and turn on the power... Voila! Canned Surprise a la Lokapala."




"Here's a key card, and the label for fifteen-year-olds.
You need to put the label on the can. The key card should be able to get you where you need to go."




"It'll be pretty gruesome, but we need to hurry."


And when one is out:



Oh boy. TRAPS.



They hold you down for a couple of seconds, it is very annoying.

Advancement!

Damned jailer. RETREAT, RETREAT. And to check all the other dialogs on the cells.

Gay lisp or what?







Hee.



Obligatory cheesy Star Wars reference.

Oh boy.




That's it for B2. Now, B3.

More traps and a more complicated layout. Hooray!

Eventually, the right room is found, and it is gross.






"They didn't just use prisoners. Society members who went insane ended up in cells, too. Looks like the Karma Society can't handle people who fully give in to the demon virus.
There's no point in sticking around. We need to find the control room."




Oh boy.

Running away from the Jailer for a fourth time will be done in the next update.
