Jikokuten, Zouchouten & Koumokuten (Low Level, Hard, Extra Enemy Turn) - SMT Nocturne HD

...And the other ones.
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
The 4 Heavenly Kings can be fought in any order. The only important factor to this order is that I'm going Koumokuten last so that Demi-Fiend can learn Retaliate from Kamurogi. Thankfully, compared to Bishamonten the other 3 have much more straightforward and exploitable behaviour.
Jikokuten - 0:26
Jikokuten will use ice magic and is weak to fire. Having a couple of demons that repel or absorb ice is wise because if one of your party gets frozen, he will cast Beast Eye, Focus and then attack the frozen party member for a big guaranteed crit. As long as you're prepared for that he doesn't do much else of note.
Zouchouten - 4:56
Zouchouten is very similar to Jikokuten but he will use electric magic instead of ice magic and is weak to force. I'd say he's even easier because he isn't immune to his own element so having demons that reflect electricity will slightly boost your damage output.
Koumokuten - 8:40
The second hardest of the 4 after Bishamonten. Koumokuten will use force magic occasionally but he will mostly buff his own defence, debuff yours and then use physical attacks. It can be hard to keep up with his buffs while also healing and doing damage so I decided to rely on agility buffs and hope for the best. Unfortunately Yatagarasu died but I still had Cu Chulainn as backup.

Jikokuten battle a.k.a "I am the shadow, the true self"

[@ZephhyrAgain]

Yeah, its funny how good he is against himself.

[@kichiroumitsurugi4363]

Funnily enough, Koumokuten is a bit predictable. He starts off with Rakukaja, then Rakunda, and then he does his attacks. Then after a while, he swaps to using Makakaja twice then attacking. So after he starts using Makakaja, Dekaja him to cancel his Rakukajas from earlier

this really is a hrah moment isnt it

[@metlrock5283]

the next video will be the demon lord

[@thrasher698]

Jikokuten is in all likelyhood the easiest boss in the entire game, with Zouchoten a close second. They fish for Freezes/Shocks for big physical crits, but their AI will not deviate from this pattern AT ALL even once they run out of MP. If you were able to reach him, Jikokuten would be able to be solo'd by Demifiend immediately after leaving the hospital at the start of the game, and Zouchouten would be soloable after Thor 1

[@pourygin9496]

I think Thor 2 is the easiest boss in the game because of Masakado's magatama and a blind player wouldn't know what to expect when they lower the pillars. Zouchoten is easier than Jikokuten because lightning repel does damage to him. Shikigami can put in work.
