Ahriman (Low Level, Hard, 4 Enemy Turns) - SMT Nocturne HD

Optimal play right here.
Rules:
- EXP gain must be minimised, limited to forced encounters where possible
- Using Bright Might or Dark Might for guaranteed crits is forbidden
- Use of demons from the Maniax/Chronicle release is forbidden (This includes Fiends, Beelzebub, Black Frost, Futomimi, Metatron, Sakahagi and Dante/Raidou)
- The goal is to collect all Magatama and achieve the True Demon Ending
Giving Ahriman 4 turns doesn't change the first phase much and all it really does to the second phase is make double Apocalypse more likely. For this reason I decided to do all of the buffing first and only after that start attacking. As long as he doesn't cast Dekunda or Dekaja you can just watch the funny 4 digit numbers and have it be over in a few turns. This could be done with 5 turns but it would look much the same. The only issue then would be the possibility for a triple Apocalypse. The only way to survive that would be with Endure which one of my demons here doesn't have.

This can't be as easy as it looks

[@ZephhyrAgain]

unfortunately it sort of is.

[@jokergear09]

It really is. Just throw dem hands

[@TurboGhast.]

Amazing how you put more of the cutscenes in this video and yet it's still shorter than the single extra press turn vid.

[@ZephhyrAgain]

I think its because I played better. better decision making and faster menu-ing because I'd already done the fight a few times.

Man, the VAs delivery of "vile deceiver!" is so flat that it frankly doesn't warrant the exclamation point.

[@jorgeperez2872]

I mean, Hikawa/Ahriman fit the stoic megalomaniac role so the VActing is on point.

Does low level just mean not doing random encounters ?

[@ZephhyrAgain]

That's exactly what it means. EXP is only gained from mandatory fights.
