Can You Beat SMT Nocturne Hardtype Without Using Any Demons? (ft.

Deathtouch died... and Drain Attack was given life...

I can't believe it... We truly were the Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne all along... Memes aside, it was a pleasure to be involved in this project !

WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE MAN, GET BACK IN YOUR EDITING CAVE

[@Zorothegallade-rpg]

To beat demonless the boys had to summon the entire squad of challenge run demons

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

The boys were back in town

[@pandawholikesSetItOff]

Ms. Champ having absolutely no fucking clue what's happening is so on brand and hysterical...and psychotic Nyarly is something I never thought I'd see.

[@VaskoKasko]

Gamechamp throughout the entire video has the mom vibe of "I have no clue what this is, but I'm happy you're excited!" while reading her lines and it's the best part of the whole thing for me lol

[@RobinandZephyr]

She killed all of her lines, exact vibe I wanted, from the “What am I doing here” to “You can only achieve what you set your mind to”

[@VaskoKasko]

@RobinandZephyr Absolutely! Great work from all the co-stars on this one!

[@deltaquarayza]

Unironically a romhack with challenge runners as the party members would be peak

[@furiouscorgi6614]

SMTVV?

[@Terumimi]

You know how in smt4a's dlc you get to control the former protags for a bit? Yeah that

[@jaffinator2166]

The ending of this video really got to me, for more reasons than one. But I don’t think my interest in dissecting SMT formulas would have come about if you hadn’t made you original challenge run and videos. So thank you so much Robin. For making videos like these that inspire me to dig deeper and discover more 💜

[@DLCHT]

I've recently enter the SMT fanbase. At first I thought it would a elitist group that a game for nostalgia or whatever shit… but they prove wrong. Shin Megami Tensei is not a great game… is a masterpiece given to us, and the people who are surrounding it are great. You, with Deus and Nyarly, have showed the greatness of Shin Megami Tensei 3, and thanks to them, I'm about the finish my first playthrough. I don't know if you will read this, but thanks. Thanks for introduce me to this fantastic franchise. Shin Megami Tensei and Persona will remain in my soul, and won't end until I die. Thanks a bunch, and merry Christmas and happy new year!!!!

[@RobinandZephyr]

Hell yeah! I'm glad you're enjoying the series, and I hope you continue to do so!

[@DLCHT]

Probably after my first playthrough, I'm gonna play the chronicle's version, and then play Hardtype just because is SMT3

[@Lilmont789]

big shoutout for music titles in the corner. i always try to identify the game tracks used during the videos. but amazing work! very excited to see this crazy machoistic run of smt nocturne and see what hell you face and push through somehow!

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2019">33:39</a> to quote miss gamechamp from their metroid pacifist run, nocturne hardtype is made on ductape hope and tears. Lots and lots of tears

[@RobinandZephyr]

Nocturne’s damage formulas for programmed on duct tape

[@Zorothegallade-rpg]

Also, I love the flavor of Lucifer's new skills created specifically for the hack, as they both come from the Divina Commedia: -Carnal Winds references the Second Circle of Hell, where the souls of the lustful are punished by being constantly buffeted by never-ending storm winds. Hence it inflicting Charm. -Judecca Tomb is named after Judecca, the deepest layer of Hell where Judas and others who betrayed the benefactors of mankind are encased in tombs of ice for all eternity, which is also where Lucifer resides.

[@RobinandZephyr]

Huh, more you know! Thank you; I didn't know any of that!

[@wadimiru]

Only one minus - they were added to make it easier to player) Basically, if it was replaced only basic attack it will become really harder nearly to unpassable) Basically modded Luci is easier than original)

[@Zorothegallade-rpg]

@@wadimiru Yeah, on demonless they're more opportunities to void his turn with Masakado.

[@franbh94]

Love the change to Chiaki's storyline so Deus sided with the manikins. Such a respect for the man. Awesome video, awesome edition, awesome story... I regret not watching this earlier but... Let's blame adhd, shall we? I'll miss the VODs joining me by my lunchtime, but this ending only means a new set will come forth, a new adventure to take, to share, to laugh, to meme about, and to conquer. And, please, continue uploading VODs. See you next time

[@franbh94]

Btw, I don't think I said this but having the OST tags in the video is top notch. Please, continue doing so

[@wiki_learner]

This is one of the most well-edited and heartfelt videos I have seen in the MegaTen fandom. Excellent job on the run, excellent job on your accomplishments. I loved this video thoroughly. Peak video. Will watch again when I need something while grinding my own games for sure.

[@dragonman7856]

Maybe the real Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne featuring Dante from Devil May Cry was the friends we made along the way

[@BuryTheLight-tds]

Show me your motivation

[@Flutterdark_]

you mean the friends we killed along the way, its still nocturne

[@nacunacato]

I didnt expect a multi youtuber challenger crossover smt hardtype challenge, especially before christmass but here we are and LUCIFER F*CK this was great. Good job guys and happy holidays.

[@johnt.190]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="88">1:28</a>:27 Robin went: “The demons are evil!? The angels are righteous!? These terms, these beliefs have changed over the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war will have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! The Vortex World is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!”

[@burningbox6660]

Sir this is a Wendys Also where's that quote from? I like it

[@johnt.190]

@ It’s an edit of a One Piece quote, specifically by Donquixote Doflamingo

[@Dw7freak]

But it's true. One of the oldest adages out there: "History is written by the victors." The loser is evil while the victor is righteous. The only truth is the one that lived.

[@sophiebubbles07]

This is the best challenge run I’ve ever seen. No contest. Congratulations on completing an absolutely insane feat of skill that only YOU can say you were the first to do. Also, the Ongyo-ki joke is really funny. I can’t believe Ongyo-ki was W.D Gaster this entire time.

[@agrithdragonflame3775]

I said it on the previous one and I shall say it on this one. This was a very good and entertaining video to watch. It truly was something you can say you did. I hope you enjoyed and thank you for seeing it through and making this video. Thank you and everyone who was part of making this video for doing so.

[@atmastand3485]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1907">31:47</a> Welcome to The DMC2 Experience. At least Dante didn't have the SMGs or *Record Scratch* forbid, The Stinger Missile.

Or... you know... devil trigger. ...oh wait insaniax added that back i wonder if it would work in hard type *sees the damage from showtime* ...OH NO

[@PriestOfTheHelix]

Long ago in a distant land, I: The Demi Fiend, the almighty master of Deathtouch unleashed an unspeakable evil, but a foolish shadow Oni stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck I hit him with a bugged luster spyglass, sending him far into the future where I am a Superboss. Now the fool seeks to return to the past, to undo the evil that is the Demi Fiend.

[@RobinandZephyr]

I had to read this one aloud in the voice LOL

[@thehive7598]

The irony if that final attack missed after giving that gut wrenching speech

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="356">5:56</a> he’s going to WHAT? (Robin points at end of the world) see that? You did that Gamerchamp, enjoy the fruits of your labor 😂😂

[@Pudge371]

Been constantly rewatching all of your other challenge runs, what's one more eh? Thanks Robin, Zephyr, Deus, Nyarly and everyone else in the SMT community for all the amazing content from all of these amazing games. As a live viewer when Lucifer finally fell, it really was the Iyomante Brand Thot-Be-Gone all along.

[@Jack-lo5me]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH BABY, THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR, THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!

[@siegfried1422]

I can't believe you used dark sorcery to cast Ongyo-Ki through time like that

[@zaynza562]

i just finished the video and, holy shit, this is the best challenge run i have ever had the pleasure of watching. ive waited 4 years eagerly anticipating this and boy did you deliver. i cannot say enough congratulations that you deserve, an infinite amount would be required. congratulations an infinite amount of times!

[@PhazonSpear]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3358">55:58</a> that is perfect comedic timing, complete with the mocking laugh from Hell Biker.

[@Rhythm_Haruka46]

I was literally watching the Nocturne demonless run that you made ages ago this morning! Great to have an early Christmas present in the form of one of the most crazy endeavours I've ever seen! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2111">35:11</a> I LAUGHED LIKE A HYENA WHEN I HEARD THAT XD <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a>:12 Also killed me 😂 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a>:18 Mot, once again, proves to be one of the most BS mini-bosses ever made

[@archdiangelo7930]

I actually love the plot rewrite and all the gags, this was a masterpiece of a run. Pure cinema!

[@nepjr_]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1899">31:39</a> they changed E & I so he was more like DMC 2 dante, in which you can spam gun to win.

[@HispachioZ]

I thought Robin gonna be the first one who finished Demonless on SMT V back then. Now he pay back that much failure with this much achievement

[@c-tana5937]

This video was so incredibly amazing, that anime battles and speeches flashed through my mind with every great revelation. From Deathbound to its reincarnation into Drain Attack To miraculously draining Metatron To breaking down Ahriman with a punch rush of Drain Attack Gaming's And the final speech for the final blow against Lucifer. May your futures be bright and prosperous, Robin & Zephyr, and may there always be another challenge for you to conquer.

[@Terumimi]

It was so cool being able to see the victory against lucifer live. Seriously, this run is incredibly impressive.

[@elecmanrobotmaster1702]

It's truly amazing how every time you guys make a feature film out of your challenge runs, it gets EVEN BETTER than the last one, Robin, Zephyr, you guys are the best!

[@firefly56embers33]

[@hotshowerh2o356]

I never saw the live streams, but it really hit when you said the first livestream was in 2019. So much has happened in the last 5 years, and this is a new achievement in a sea of new innovations and changes. Thank you for such a masterclass of a video and I hope the holidays treat you well before 2025.

[@tristandean7915]

Can we appreciate the audio improvement everything sounds so clear 🤩🤩🤩

My mic is no longer sitting in a coffee mug for a stand. LMAO

you dont know the indescribable joy, shock, and fear i had when i saw this appear in my notifications.

new to the channel, saw this video and am like, "huh, ive watched those guys, maybe they just joins in a call or something." only a few minutes in and i am loving it, cant wait to see the rest

[@mawillix2018]

I liked and subscribed not because I've been asked to, I'm quite early in the video, and there hasn't been an obvious plug yet. I just want to be served more content like this by youtube.

[@avestrustheone6349]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1265">21:05</a> I think I, and many others, were not prepared for *Biden Blast*

Oh boy, 3 hours of goodness, the grinding a game session with this playing on background will be fire tonight.

[@Dawn_Shimmer]

I just finished watching this and WOW. My post video comment hits so much harder now after the way you told your journey through this game. This was INCREDIBLE!

[@power0029]

Finally finished watching this amazing video. I've been watching your content since the original Nocturne Solo TDE One Press Turn video, and I can say this is by far the best video you guys have made. Congratulations and thank you for blessing us with this. I can't wait to see what you guys tackle in the future.

[@lilithramirez7719]

This is not a video. This is a masterpiece.

[@notdwaddler2013]

Peak is back gamers Side note, I find it funny that Dante can literally just fight like he's playing DMC2 and cut your lifespan down to zero

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Using the proper three hit combo lol

[@DatHarlequinOni]

Yourr channel has been an incredible resource for me as an SMT fan and i'm so happy to see you succeed at this. Well done!

[@AxelRyman]

While I've watched your runs before, I only did as KZbin vods, and it wasn't till this challenge run when, during the middle of it, I joined the stream to watch them live. I may not always be in the streams due to being busy, but I can honestly say that many of the moments I did catch from this challenge were epic, and amazing. We're all proud of you for overcoming these challenges, and look forward to the next one. If you don't feel proud of yourself Robin for this, you should, for both the work you put on this video, and successfully completing the challenge. Dummy

[@royalty_freeze3625]

Peak content like this is why I’m in the top 1% of your KZbin viewers, this is highly entertaining and something I will be recommending to anyone I can.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="801">13:21</a> math with megaten masters is my favorite guaranteed Robin and Zephyr segment in these videos

[@chessterstone]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2128">35:28</a> Ok I knew some PM things were up in the air with the lobcorp reference during the DDS2 run, but now just slapping LoR music instantly just gave me total Project Moon whiplash

[@CelestiaLily]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1899">31:39</a> oh my god. This embodies Dante's infamous gun-spamming everyone hated DMC2 for lmao

[@sokekon]

seriously tho, this is genuinely incredibly high quality and entertainment, great job for you and everyone else who played a key part in this system.

[@blackfrost8536]

on a gameplay feat, this was beyond entertaining and big brain to watch what strategies you pulled to come out on top, and on a whole with the editing, this entire video was some SAO abridged levels of funny re-imagining of the original material and thats probably the biggest compliment i can give this, absolute kudos!

[@Vivamint0]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1309">21:49</a> sounds like the most realistic and practically immediate result of an apocalypse

[@limechips4289]

its neat to see the people who inspired you to try and make stuff and challenge yourself be inspired by others. fantastic video as always.

[@DiegoG2004]

This is a collaboration i did not expect but i love that it exists.

[@gameoverguyl2577]

This was incredible. I first found this channel from the original Nocturne video and its been extremely cool to see everything since then. Seeing the redemption run after accidentally discovering AI manipulation to beat bishamon in the original run was so cool to see.

I am not a English speaker, sorry if I said something dumb. I enjoyed your video so much, haven’t seen any gaming content could be legit entertaining, making me wanna rewatch it for so many times before checking on your channel. Really appreciate the efforts you have done, you did bring me the message at the last of this video, fking inspiring. Hope you can keep it on, and thank you Robin:)

i've been watching your content since the nocturne math videos and i just need to say this is the best challenge run to grace my eyes 😭😭😭 i love it when content creators put their own spin on a narrative to fit the challenge its so good

[@TeeQueueSA]

My god, this is all the challenge runners I follow in one video. Terrifying.

I find the fact you're playing Nero's theme over the Dante description funny

Congratulations on your victory, Robin! You did well. Love your videos and challenge runs. Keep it up!

[@supermariogamer5294]

Amazing work, Robin! I wish I could have been there more often to see this roller-coaster of a run, but, seeing your videos give me the inspiration to work hard and challenge myself further in and out of gaming related things, so I thank you for that.

[@recentteen14]

You are insane, and this run was absolutely legendary. Kudos to you for doing something nobody thought was remotely possible, you magnificent bastard.

[@valletas]

Cant wait for you guys to do the same thing 5 years from now when insoniax is fully released

[@cloaking111]

This was amazing! A beautiful loveletter to the game and the mod.

[@goncalodiassilva5418]

The glitch can be also caled the "Masochistic Way" because you punche and debuf a enemy but they heal and get buffed like they are geting pleasure from pain.

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

Insane video. Literally enjoyed all 3hours. Thank you Robin for producing such amazing content.

[@Flutterdark_]

its so insane with this run, and that it worked.

[@drhatsunetweeku]

Idk why but i find it incredibly comical the way Robin yelled “SAYONARA SHITHEAD” at around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="68">1:08</a>:20. So much vitriol went into that one line lol

[@mouthwide0pen]

smh didnt even say dickhead

Great video!!!! I loved seeing the smt community all involved

Damn Robin. Just damn. You truly are the master. Congratulations. I'm looking forward to seeing your future challenges. (Keep this new style, it's a lot of fun !)

[@thexenocide6013]

your voice is so dramatic when it cuts to the stream audio of you popping off/furious i really enjoy it

[@Saruva_Eduardo]

Wow, that was crazy! I can't imagine how mentally straining tha was. Congratulations!

[@appelofdoom8211]

Law ending: become a real smt protagonist as the developers intended Chaos ending: give the manikins a good ending which goes against the very wishes of the reality of the game. Neutral ending: go against both and remove nocturne, the source of all this strife from existence. Truly peak

[@mouthwide0pen]

Reasons aren't really law/chaos. Well, Chiaki's is just Chaos I guess, but I wouldn't call Hikawa's law.

Man, this video gave me absolute goosebumps. This was amazing to watch. Absolutely wonderful you put yourself through this immense challenge. It was wicked and keep up the amazing work 🎉

[@Pokemongod777]

It feels like so long ago that I saw the original Nocturne Formula videos, and all that time ago I made that meme to "Stop Doing Levels", and yet, through the indomitable human spirit, and a SHITTON of levels, Nocturne Hardtype has been vanquished solo. Maybe I should make a reprise of that meme to KEEP doing levels.
