Shin Megami Tensei V - Lahmu Fight Strategy (Hard Mode)

[@verdethestarwarrior1088]

These boss strategy videos are really interesting, I’m eagerly waiting for my copy of the game to arrive. Also, interesting pronunciation of Succubus lol

[@EnelXC]

gonna be honest I don't know how to say half of these names lol

[@waldo8791]

Suc-cu-bus

[@ithewanderer830]

Succumbus? ... .. . ok, lets go Brandon!

[@fluffyspark798]

I will be watching these when I get the game. Thanks!

[@Wlightning25]

King frost does indeed look really funny in the thumbnail

[@s-z4893]

Churning out the content!! keep it up man

[@moberlysquad67]

The first phase of the boss with his tentacles is definitely nightmare fuel

[@joshuafoote5144]

I didn’t get why people hated Lahmu when I first played the second act. But Aogami said there were demons who feigned kindness to prey on victims.

[@franklinstone3215]

FINAL EDIT: I did like this strategy, but hated that it depended SO much on luck. Despite what the video poster says, this is not a surefire team at all, and he will attack King Frost and the fuckin fox with Dark all the time, forcing you to reload. Some people are lucky, but for the rest of us, you can use these demons with Yakshini and Lilim essences to Resist Dark. I switched King Frost with Parvati on phase 2 because he's way better for phase 1, and you need good heals for phase 2. I still think phase 1 requires a lot of luck, because without a big healer, you're depending on Cautious Cheer and light heals to protect you while you speed burn the tentacles, but you can do it if you grind to the max like video poster and I did, haha.

[@jerichtandoc7789]

Welp, unfortunately I got caught up in so much of the games side content that I think this might be the part where I skip out on these boss videos, so I guess, so I guess I'mma talk a bit about the notable optional boss fights. Daisoujou is like a 3/10 in terms of difficulty for me. Coming off the back of Fionn's fight, this one was an incredibly smooth cake walk, so much so that I killed him fast enough that he didn't even get to use Preach. Hell Biker, however, more than makes up for that disappointment, and then some, as his high agility and luck meant he ended up dodging and critting a lot, so that's a solid 8/10 difficult fight. I ended up fighting and killing the firebird and Baihu from Huang Long's quest, so that was cool, and I actually did it while I was 7 levels below them, so they, especially the latter, were incredibly tough. 8/10 and 9/10 difficulty respectively for when I fought them at lv 37ish. Gonna kill Qing Long and maybe Koumokuten when I wake up, so that's gonna be cool, and I can finally progress with the story, get the last two Mimans, and fight Lahmu again probably. Wondering, though not exactly wanting an immediate answer cuz I don't like spoilers, when I can fight Seth though.

[@EnelXC]

I did the huang long quest yesterday and found them pretty easy but I'm level 44 ish lol

[@Jazardly]

Artemis + Hell Biker + Pavarti + Magic Nahobino. Artemis for her Def -2 attack and Hell Biker because he's a heavy fire attacker that isn't weak to dark. I spent like 10 turns fully regenning MP by guarding before ending the first phase and then chunked him down with the def drop

[@Jazardly]

oh first phase I used pisaca for its fang breaker to properly stall for MP recovery

[@franklinstone3215]

This is a good idea. I think this probably works more reliably than the strategy in this video. I modified the video strat to just resist dark on the 2 weak demons, swapped out for Pavarti in phase 2, worked OK. Thank you for the guard MP restore idea. I don't think I had enough chakra drops otherwise.

[@taylorclark1048]

Level 40, went physical build, if I want to buy the recovery miracle from the shop then throw on nahobito unique recovery skill, is the healing based on my magic stat. Thought it would be cool for my naho to be a damage dealing/healer, or do yall have any suggestions / does + your support make your charge stronger?

[@DivineRainor]

Love the content... but succumbus?

[@lazerith84]

Perhaps he is dodging KZbin Censorship? with a little speech manipulation ... Demons "specifically temptation Demons" might catch the overlords watchful Gaze ... then again he might just pronounce it that way?

[@EnelXC]

I can't read dw about it

[@pencilcheck]

King frost :DD

[@Rubbe87]

I was at a lot lower level took ages to destroy a tentacle .

[@joshuafoote5144]

It’s best to target one tentacle at a time.

[@jhon1406]

What's your level up stat strategy for vit/agi/luk?

[@EnelXC]

I go str most of the time but go into agility like 20-30% of the time. Ignore magic/luck/vitality.

[@MrSpelling1]

IT'S PRONOUNCED SUCCUBUS

[@EnelXC]

true!

[@miles8233]

Which essence gave you the moves for Nahobino? Thanks

[@rpghero46]

i was at lv 23 on this fight.....im i under lv.oh this is a second fight i knew something was different.

[@joshuafoote5144]

Ironically that was around the level Lahmu was at when you first fought him.

[@thesleepiestpanda]

Theres a 2nd plase!?

[@XehanortX2]

I was over leveled lol and had idun

[@nomight273]

How you liking the game so far?

[@EnelXC]

It's very fun

[@joshuafoote5144]

It ain’t fun for a Japanese schoolgirl to fall victim to a tentacled monster.

[@ki11aqueen5]

He ALWAYS starts the fight with mudo to my king frost that instantly kills him. I hate this boss And in this boss strategy video he never ONCE hit your king frost with Mudo. I'm about to throw my switch against the wall You got lucky in this fight.

[@joshuafoote5144]

I guess the king wanted King Frost’s kingdom for himself.

[@rollinfiber8490]

How do you give the demons ability to use items?

[@EnelXC]

It's a miracle.

[@igotbit9454]

Lahmu was a pushover. My strategy: I had the little red head girl with wings and she had the wind attack that hits all foes + lil red riding hood doing an attack move that hits all with light attack. Just buffed them both and they killed his 1st and 2nd form in 3 min. with the second form I just buffed my main character and Cirronup from lil red riding hood girl and the other red head mixed with mahutsu boost (whatever it's called) and yeah, Lahmu bye bye.

[@kevlar1482]

Sorry to inform you but you had to be Level 42 to fuse Idun. Which means you're overleveled for this boss. 1. Calm down on the bragging. 2. What took you so long to progress? 3. GIT GUD.

[@joshuafoote5144]

You’re using a succubus against Lahmu?

[@gccshds9798]

how did you get the level 40 succubus?!?

[@EnelXC]

a fusion demon

[@CrobatmanIamthenight]

>two dark weak

[@EnelXC]

not really a major concern and dark dampeners do exist if this part is bad. I found he didn't use dark that frequently and it was all single target.

[@CrobatmanIamthenight]

@@EnelXC tbf, im watching aguide for hard whern im on normal difficulty, i just used uuuh quitzcoatl, mothman shiki oji and i swapped in king frost at a point

[@dishamehta3136]

I don’t like him
