you don't even need to hack, the PC version of HD has a glitch where you can use your mouse to "return to stock" demons that are already in your stock. Press down+leftclick enough times and you can dismiss the Demifiend to your bench, the only way to get him back is randomly with Beckon Call

[@lordfarquaad2319]

The fact that you and Deus decided to release a video on the same niche game on the same challenge and on the same day is just facinating, it's Cat Concerto VS Rhapsody Rabbit levels of coincidence Edit: Looks like Deus delayed the release of the video, he just said on the community post a while ago

[@LoudWaffle]

44:30 correct: it's not a glitch that he can spam Beast Eye, he just for whatever reason doesn't have a limit to the amount of times he can cast it in a turn, unlike every other enemy. It's just completely random whether he stacks them a bunch and wipes you; he's not actually calculating how many press turns he needs to get a kill or anything. That's also why some of the viral videos of him show him continuing to spam Beast Eye even he's already rammed the maximum amount of press turns at one time.

[@frankbeans6084]

@@paul.1337no it’s just a mistake

[@LoudWaffle]

@@paul.1337 It seems to be working exactly as intended because it's been maintained in the remaster of the game and every other version. It's also literally the only interesting thing about Mot as a boss. If it wasn't intended he would be puzzlingly simply and boring to fight. Everything points to it being an intentional design choice, not a glitch.

[@LoudWaffle]

@@paul.1337 And the Maniax version and the PAL and NA versions (which for countless other games DO feature bug fixes). And you can laugh at the Zio weakness and say any part of Mot is bad design, but yes that probably was the dev thought process and doesn't affect what is intentional or not. Bosses with no weaknesses = hard. Boss with weakness(es) = give them something more interesting to spice them up.

[@Paws42]

One thing to note. If you want to do this challenge (or just play the game) on Hard mode, but the increased shop prices turn you off from it. The HD remaster let's you switch difficulty mid-game, so you can simply change the difficulty to normal whenever you need to shop for items, then switch back to hard mode

There's actually a glitch on the PC version that lets you remove Demifiend from the party permanently by returning him to the stock using the mouse instead of button inputs. My friend was streaming it and it accidentally happened to him and he saved afterwards, and there was no way to undo this glitch, at least not that we could find.

[@Deafgal-c3p]

I believe you can summon from the stock and it would eventually summon Demi Fiend. Deus did this in his no Demi Fiend run and summon him a few times from the stock.

[@BobbyCorwen42]

It's pretty funny that Demi-Fiend is considered the most powerful playable in the game because it only becomes true in the late game. Even then, if you ignore items (yes they technically make him unbelievably OP) he's only the best DPS so he's definitely replaceable. Having a dead slot on the team, though, is pretty tough. That said, he's definitely a lot better than most other SMT protagonists.

[@starmaker75]

Yeah late game nocturne just becomes the "demo fiend show with healers, buffers and debuffers". This is something I do have problem post nocturne gameplay wise where the avatar becomes best attacker and everyone plays support. Thankful later games persona 5 and smt 5 have made party members and demons be more on part with protagonist.

[@patrickripleyiii134]

Yeah friekugel is absolutely nuts lol

[@Arexion5293]

In the Chronicle version on Hard mode, Lucifer's Root of Evil move also becomes a dekaja. So not only does he have more HP, his phase 3 move becomes even more dangerous.

[@VampirePrinceKRS]

the Demi-Fiend isn't the only one who can summon demons out of your stock. Baphomet learns a skill that can summon them out too & it can be passed on to others but I think it's random with who gets summoned & with how difficult the run already was I'm sure you didn't have an extra skill slot for something like that.

[@mikeysaurlol]

you're right, deus used it in his video

[@AxelRyman]

Just a quick mention, not sure if it was pointed out, but it is possible for demons to summon other demons. You need a demon with the skill Beckon Call, and there's 5 available(Baphomet, Okuninushi, Efreet, Ongyo-Ki, and Mot). They're transferable too, but the stock demon summoned is random. But you won't have to worry about using only the 3.

[@mikeysaurlol]

yeah strength is broken in nocturne, though it is in most smt games, smt 4 and 5 too mostly

[@Flutterdark_]

@@mikeysaurlol usually strength and magic share a wierd balance with eachother. strength gets the raw numbers, but magic often can take advantage of weaknesses and generate more turns as a result. pre smt4 physical skills also have the downside in some peoples eyes that they cost hp. in smt 4 it takes very long to get good strength skills from what i hear and since nothing has defense, and you need mp to use physical skills anyway, people just go magic in that game since energy drain can not only kill enemies but also restore your entire mp pool in like one use. smt5 is pretty good at the balance act, but sadly really encourages you to pick 2 elements rather then being the versatile being that mages usually are. and even then the final boss just gives you a big f u to your magic build. dds in that regard was godly for strength and magic players. simply because of the ability to change your skillset whenever. that allowed mage players to focus on an element on a per fight basis, allowing you to min max and get the weaknesses. something you cant do in 5 cause its near impossible to get some of the endgame essences back.

[@mikeysaurlol]

@@Flutterdark_ you have some good points yeah, physical skills still cost HP in persona though right? when i played persona 4 i thought it was all pretty balanced because for the main character you can swap to a magic focused persona to get extra turns, and by far the character that did the most damage wasn't even my physical mc, but it was yukiko with her severe fire skills

[@Flutterdark_]

yeah in persona they cost hp but in persona stuff also feels way more balanced because not only can mc switch, but also late game enemies just dont give you extra turns at all. and since you can swtich mid fight you dont ever feel locked into anything. in general i like these games alot more when i can adapt to the situation. not be completely f'ed cause a boss NULLS MY ENTIRE FUCKING BUILD and i cant change it (looking at you smtv final boss) yes i know smt5 gave everyone piercing skills but when the strength mc gets A SEVERE ALMIGHTY STRENGTH SKILL and magic gets JACK FUCKING SHIT it sucks. (megidolean doesnt count its damage sucks) @@mikeysaurlol

[@mikeysaurlol]

@@Flutterdark_ very fair points, though im playing smtv for the first time right now and going for a strength build lmao, maybe a good middleground would be a mix between persona and smt? i had an idea recently thats similar to equipping persona's but instead you as the protag can transfer your soul into demons???, and your full party is demons, like in deus' video of a similar challenge where he got rid of demifiend with a glitch and it changed it so that the demon in the first slot became the character that if they die you get a game over, i personally really like building a protag for the whole game, but i feel like how persona does it is a good mix between both seeing as you can always change, maybe they can just have a story where you play as demons the whole time and its like smt4 where the whole party needs to die for a game over, i think it'd be sick if you can choose your main character and change it from a bunch of demons, almost like starter pokemons lmfao

Amala Labyrinth is the optional dungeon along with its challanges, includng Lucifer. He's not a "true final boss" , but just an additional challange, a super boss, if you will. The Freedom ending is obviously intended true ending of the game. Even if it's shallow and I hate it like many people also do.

Haven't watched yet but I suspect it's not that bad if you make an ultra tanky build focusing on making demifiend as hard to kill as possible. I remember trying to play a run kinda like that though I never finished it but mostly cause I got bored lol. Though it wasn't a challenge run more like a quirky build run so I could still use items and do other useful actions which made things a lot easier. Still, the press turn system kinda makes massing not that bad as long as you aren't passing a flashing turn, and since losing demifiend is your loss condition having him be built purely for survival can make the game easier in some ways. Though losing combat items and the ability to switch up your team in combat AND to negotiate (that's a big one) is probably going to make some part of the run really tough. I suspect the early and late game will be the rough part but the vast majority of the game should be fine once you get going.
