BRAGGING RIGHTS: After a good 3+ saved hours of grinding, fusing, and preparation, I finally beaten Matador for the first time on Hard Difficulty at level 17! It was not easy. But man was it so satisfying and HUGE relief when I got to a save point. I did it with 2 dekaja stones and 1 attack mirror for the second phase when Matador used Andalucia. Demi-Fiend nullifying and Nozuchi draining the force attacks during the first phase helps a lot. And Bicorn came with Sukukaja and I fused him with Tarukaja (gained from Shikigami.) High Pixie died during the fight. Bicorn died once. But I revived, used beads and 2 bead chains. And thanks to the buffing of attacks and agility (no rakukaja), I just barely made it through the fight. Wow. If I ever play this game again, I will NEVER attempt Matador on Hard Difficulty ever again! And while I know it's nothing special bragging I beaten one of the most biggest difficulty spikes in gaming history for a game that's almost 2 decades old, I'm just glad it's over and I can continue on with the game!

I felt _so accomplished_ the first time I successfully felled him. It took, like, four hours of strategizing and demon fusing--it took even longer than usual, 'cause I was playing the PS2 edition, which requires you to reroll demons' skills to get them to inherit the ones you want. It's really up there in my list of most memorable gaming moments. Matador really made me fall in love with this game.

Well that's why I had dekaja stones, and High Pixie as my defense debuffer. Unfortunately she died in literally the first turn! And one of my demons drain force attacks which I use to guarantee he loses all his turns. But yeah. I need to either grind, or try to get better demons with debuffs, buffs, or at the least just grind for hours. One way or another, I'll make it through.

​@@NitsuaGamer I definitely suggest thinking it thru instead of blind grinding. You've unlocked enough force null/immune demons to fill up your party by now, and you can pass them some much needed skills. Just one suggestion though - dark might.

I had demons that null force and had plenty of debuff skills, but I still struggled pretty hard. Did some reading, and somebody recommended being around level 20 to be on equal footing and wow, that was a mistake. The balancing in this game is so weird. When you reach a certain level, you just start steamrolling everything for a ling time. It's like they balanced the game, intending the pkayer to just jump in level at random points instead of a gradual increase like what would really happen.

for this fight your supposed to match his buffs so it's an equal fight (he uses red capote and then you use sukukaja 4 times) then also do regular buffs like rakukaja and tarukaja/makakaja to have an advantage

I've always disliked one thing about this boss - while Matador is designed to tell the player to start using the buffs/debuffs, for some reason he'll just start using dekunda if you either debuff him below a positive agility buff threshold, or any other debuff It really makes it annoying for new players since they'd assume they should use stuff like dekaja stones to nullify his agility buff (rather than keep it at +1, which is the least brain melting method) but he'll just cast Red Capote if that condition isn't met - this isn't really communicated to the player and it makes the boss unnecessarily """difficult""" for a lot of players At least he doesn't have dekaja, that would hurt people's brains

SMT3 doesn't teach you anything. Not what are buffing and debuffing, doesn't tell you what the phases or for, that buffs can be reset, that stat buffs/debuffs have 4 stages, or even the fact you can talk to demons with right. Went through all the first dungeon wondering how I friggin talk to any of them and even then half of them in the first dungeon can't be negotiated with cause they're Haunt or Foul

@@Hakim_Balls I just beat him recently. My strat was to actually give him a debuf so that he wastes a turn with dekuja every now and then so it might still be worth using Sukunda, but any debuf should work really. I debuffed his defend for more DPS personally. Not sure if it was the best plan but I won xD. and yeah, I had dark might on Ame-no-uzume (it was just convenient). That helped a ton.

He's really not that hard, but that assumes you know how he works and are prepared for him. He's you "Tutorial Final Boss" to make sure you know how to play the game at a base level. Beat him, and you should be fine for the rest of the game for the most part. Otherwise, you're going to be hearing that "It's time to duel" speech a lot.

Problem is, I really only have debuffs at the moment and there's no good demons I can fuse at the level I'm at for buffs. They either have debuffs or nothing useful. Right now, I'm just gonna grind till I learn counter from one of my magatamas and counter for Nozuchi. May not guarantee a win, but it'll be a small help if it triggers. Honestly looking at the footage, most of my bad luck is RNG with criticals. I'm just gonna level up more cause I can't get any buffs at the moment. And I need to hope Pixie doesn't die turn one. But even if I use debuffs, Matador can still dekunda them. I mean geez. There's a reason this guy is famous. Just wish there was faster or more convenient options to guarantee that win. Maybe if I switch to Normal, but I want the true experience (and that Steam achievement.)

@@NitsuaGamer looking at the HP totals it’s also safe to assume that you’re somewhat underleveled for this fight on hard. You can adjust the difficulty back down to normal (which doesn’t affect anything just be sure to change it back to hard) when you’re grinding so the game isn’t as much of a slog. I’m 70 hours into my first play through and most of that time was grinding for levels to fuse better demons from the compendium. I’d be at 30 hours if I changed the difficulty sooner while grinding though

@@NitsuaGamer Honestly, I think Metador is more annoyingly placed than anything. He's right before you get the compendium so it's harder to fuse something, and he's in the middle of some annoying trash mobs that, from my experience had no success retreating from. You should be able to get Sukukaja. I forgot where mine came from, but I did a search and looks like Preta, Aquans, or Sudama have or get Sukukaja (mine must have came from preta. I fused him asap cause I hate him, lmao) You might be able to recruit Sudama since he's right in that area, and use him or fuse him with a better demon with Sukukaja.

Many people get Sukukaja from a Preta for this fight, and then fuse it up into a better demon. It's a bit annoying to catch one, 'cause Preta is a Jive demon, but it's not awful as long as you're prepared for grinding negotiations.

@@haruhisuzumiya6650 I know all of this, I’m not saying his skills aren’t able to be figured out, again to restate my point it’s more the insane luck factor like random hit moves, and other stuff like gameplay know how but that’s not really fair to use as a measuring stick here, for arguments sake I’ll make an example, your notes on the boss are all true, completely so, but the factors like crits, how many times Andelucia hits, how much Matador Focuses, and many other pieces of the puzzle that is the boss fight of matador can still fuck up even experience players, so all in all it’s a well designed fight banking on the systems of the game being convoluted to make the difficulty increase so the boss is still easy enough to beat at any skill level if you’ve made it there, but also difficult enough it’s not always a shoe-in victory for the player, it’s a brilliant boss fight in my opinion at least

The trick is to Sukunda him from Red Capote's +4 Agility to +1. He won't Capote if he's still technically buffed on that stat. You won't have to grind for Dekaja or Dekaja Stones, and you can always Sukukaja yourself to match or exceed his Stage 1 Agility.
