Go neutral ending

Leave before you get spoiled.

you are the killer

Accept that you're going to die a lot of times and resist the urge to use a password for a demon that nulls everything.

It's a bit intense for our first SMT. Don't be afraid to look up strategy tips. Fuse a lot

dont grind too much, try to have one as many elemental spells as you can on your party, savescum if needed to try out different combination for neat demons

Trust him

It was my first SMT, I think it's a good starter because you totally feel like you've been thrown into the thick of it.

Mastema is your friend.

dont be afraid to look up each demon info, not ALL demons are worth the grind for its source

Also going to start playing soon. Since I already got my foot wet by beating 1, 2, Nocturne, and 4/4A, I want to know
>how long this is
>what level you should be at by the end
>if this is like nocturne where you can almost use whatever the fuck you want as long as your good, or always just use the best best demons available

its more like
>pray that your party is good against a boss or a new area if youre playing blind, otherwise you have to get new guys

this is my party, I'm at Bootes and need to rescue Zelenin, should I restart?

i would recomend using a backup healer AND someone with media/mediarama on your party for the boss, someone with garu spells would be optimal

>media/mediarama
what's that?
>garu spells
what demon has that?

media is a heling spell that acts on all 4 members of your party, the upgrade of "dia"

Harpy and tegu have gary spells, but i think you can summon a grill demon with higher magic stats that can use it

>what's that?
zio = lighning. zionga = level 2 of zio. zion+dyne = level 3. "ma" before every skill = multishot (this applies to all of the skills below)
garu/zan = wind
hama = light
mudo = death
agi = fire
bufu = ice
dia = heal
these are the basics

and how can I kill Norris and Macabre easily? I'm stuck in that part and decided to grind before encountering them

>Macabre
kill him in one hit with hama

well, the more luck the character has the chance of hitting it with hama increases right?

you should be able to fuse a strong phys demon by now, those help lots on that part of the game, he is level 18, but fomor is my nigger

no he's to light attacks

weak to*

some demons are weak (WK) to hama skills, that have 100% chance to kill if they hit

alright, what about Norris? that faggot seems fucking invincible

chuck norris? lel
check the wiki

I'm having a lot of trouble with this fight and have been stuck for a while, her requim skill is really bullshit and hits even with full buffs and debuffs. I've been trying to save state scum it but it's still a pain in the ass fight. I'm level 74 should I grind up more or just keep trying and hope rng fucks me less?

>chaosfags

>650 hp

how can I be law? my name tag says I'm neutral

There's certain choices you make that give you more points to chaos or law. Just choose the choices you think a law fag would say

>tfw Ouroboros

So far this is the first time I feel underlevel as fuck

What is the magic trick to beat this bitch? Im lvl 42

God I loved the DS strange journed artwork, looked like it was made in the 80s scifi

The new one looks like generic anime trash

the only way I managed to beat ouroboros was by grinding out until I had all party of the same alignment for demon co op and have them all have a fire skill.

Also buffs and debuffs, but remember not to overbuff

FInd Dis.

before I knew about SMT, I always thought it was a kamen rider game

>lawfags

>tfw I just have to get to the end of Horologium and kill Meme A. but I am too lazy to grind

>Any tips?
This is handsome herald is your friend, you should trust him.
Also, do you like Lady Gaga?

I still dont get what can be added to the plot.

Balance wise yeah sure you can change some stuff but I have no hopes for deep journey

Get Mara if you can, nice side quest if you go to Grus to start it (Grendel), Plus you get a good fucking gun out of it, the peacemaker, something that can help. Plus a lv 80 phys demon with charge if you have space. She's weak to lightning right? I think you can get thor at lv 75/76.
Is her instakill expel? Try getting armour against that.

>but remember not to overbuff
3 buffs is the safe spot

Answer questions honestly, find your own alignment instead of trusting anons telling you which one is best.

She repels lighting actually. The only time she gets a weakness is after requim and it's a physical weakness

Her instakill pierces null expel it can't be blocked

I keep trying to use hana against Macabre and he keeps blocking it, what do I do?

you need both null light and null dark

Ah. Well I'd still say go and get peacemaker, strongest gun in game, pretty good skills.
>repels lightning
Oh right, Megiddo storm she uses.

He's a boss it doesn't work on bosses (he's later a generic enemy next dungeon and has the weakness in full effect), just use other skills, best thing is to have a poison resist accessory on. You get one from a Dis if you did her mission, or you could manufacture one outside of then, otherwise use buffs and keep attacking, poison's a bitch though.

had to use a 4x XP gain cheat on this and etrian odyssey, dont have the patience to do any grinding

you are about to have massive amounts of fun if you like dungeon crawlers

strange journey is my favorite SMT game

look at him

look at him and laugh

I don't know what to say about EO but I wouldn't blame him in Neutral/law run SJ, all those good demons locked after 80's and MA.

Play SMT4/A Desu1/2 or Soulhackers instead and wait for the definitive version of Strange journey coming out instead next year, I seriously wish I had held off on playing that game for a little while longer since the enhanced version got announced about a month after I had finished it.

god fucking dammit, fucking poison, and I dont have any poison resistance things, what do I do?

Pray That or abuse your poison-di items
Either that or dick around with fusion and hope for a miracle man.

someone give him a demon code

Oh right, forgot, just in general keep having healers heal (media), Acheri and Heqet both have posumudi if that could help use that on MC if you can fuse them.

This

dame son

Hi

>people giving codes

Well this gotta be the first time I seen a smt thread this nice and friendly

hey kid, want some illegal codes?

Who wants aciel?

I had to sit back and grind some levels before the final boss. I was in the last area at level 55 or so, I actually went to 90 grinding in the area just before.

The final boss is pretty difficult, so anything you can muster forth is fair game.

Don't worry about your party until sector 4. None of the previous sectors are really that difficult, unless you try to fight David soon as he's available.

Sector D is a pain in the ass

i wish we could have those threads with the wallpaper user

Sharing is caring

Did anyone else play through with the FAKE demonica summons? I used Demonica C-N-L, I thought it was pretty enjoyable.

I want to do a playthrough where I spawn Jim, Zel, and Gore in my party, but I don't know if they're broken and can't fuse or what.

best boy incoming

best girl

i tried to use 3 jimenez but it was too hilarious for me

Fuse them now

>not a doppelganger than repels everything

final one

How does the password generator work? Do I need some specific settings or something because none of the passwords I try to make work.

eh

I made a Asherah that repelled everything and it worked
I dunno, try putting it in english instead of japanese

Could someone explain to me the best way to fuse demons? I feel Im just throwing shit at the wall until something works

>recluit/summon demons from youre compendium
>see if they produce good fusions
>load your file to recomer money from summoned demons if you dont like what you see
>do it again
>use apps.evilrobotstuff.com/strange_journey/

Anyone have Metatron as a password?
Man fuck all these 80's demons, so much macca blown on fusing them because they use steep and specific demon reqs.

...

IMAGINE 2 when?

May you be blessed

after the fan translation for if comes out

I'm not really sure, I made a few demons with skills that they could possibly have, with demons you could possibly summon, and stats correct for their level. I didn't try making anything that I couldn't get normally.

Dekaja is your friend, fusing strong demons will help you more than grinding.

is this the SMT thread?
>just got to Vishnu-Flynn in Apocalypse (massacre route)
>wiped my team in 2 turns
how do i git gud

he's the hardest boss in the game. even harder than big bald man

git gud

Ignore my last post, I misread yours.
You really should have Debilitate on this fight, what's the build on your Nanashi?

he's full on magic, has all the heavy elemental attacks + megidola and Awakened Power. Mostly relied on demons and partners for support skills up to this point.
This is only my 2nd SMT game after IV, which was pretty easy.

Magic kinda falls off at that point damage-wise, do you have the level 4 elemental magic?
On the other hand, you can be the best support, your Energy Drain will restore a lot of MP so you can spam all high cost skills like Debilitate, Mediarahan and shit. Also, there's the skill that takes out one of the enemy turns, and you can get it pretty early, I forgot the name for it though.

You should probably have a Phys orientated demon with Charge to be your main damage dealer, make sure you keep him safe.

Then there's really only one thing to do:
USE BUFFS, RETARD!

Abuse diggan'
You'll know what I mean when you reach it

I'm just getting the severe skills now, I'll probably have to do some grinding to get them on Nanashi.
yeah, after coasting through IV this game's bosses have taught me how to use buffs.

I'll give it another go soon. Game's almost over after this, right?

The hardest part of that fight by far is surviving the first turn, afterwards you can beat him with buffs
Try to get at least doping, 2 stages of buffs or debuffs, healed, and Imposing Stance if possible

>Game's almost over after this, right?
Oh you poor child

Why were Persona 5's bosses so garbage when IV:A's bosses were so great?
