Edit: I realized I forgot to show my difficulty at the end, but try it for yourself on hard if need be and you'll get the same results.
OTK may be somewhat misleading as it's multiple turns, but it's basically all done in a single turn. This strat is also luck-based, but stacking passives means you'll only need a few attempts. This video is my second kill, which was only three runs after the first.
Some things to note:
- You need to enter the fight with 1HP and full Magatsuhi. You can easily get to 1HP by punching Rangdas in the overworld. You also need to spend a turn letting Demi-fiend hit another repel/drain phys demon so you can build more bar, hence why turn 1 I just summon Rangda and do nothing else
- The way Demi-fiend's AI works: whenever you tag anyone in, if it's not a demon he's seen before, he'll always try to hit them with a phys attack. The "not seen before" part is important when you tag Glasya-Labolas back in, they need to be in your opening line-up so Demi-fiend "recognizes" them already and doesn't attack them
- Mephisto is absolutely not required, anyone with null phys and debilitate would work fine. He's actually strictly worse because if his ailment lands, Demi-fiend sometimes misses his drain/repel target and ruins the run. Any time I hit Pixie with him, I'm just padding Magatsuhi, but I don't think it's actually necessary
- Sandalphon and Glasya-Labolas are both deliberate choices: the former has a passive that allows almighty attacks to crit, while the latter has a passive that boosts crit rate for allies with +2 evasion. A lot of the demons have unnecessary skills, but you only need to copy what is used in the video. Glasya also happens to be part of the beast race, so they give you access to Adversity. Strictly better than Loup-Garou, who I was using before I thought about the passive.
- The only way to get the fourth press turn doing the OTK turn is if the first Murakumo crits. If it does, you're literally home free
this is the second game this year where "Sandalphon" has helped me cheese a superboss

I adapted your strategy and killed him with no crits. I dumped all my stats into Magic. Then Used Heavenly Ikuyumi dibilitating and inflaming divinty 7 shots from the bow 4 from succession and then the three back outs, was enough.

I can confirm - spent hours with Murakumo + STR max like in video. Close but no success. Switched to max MAG + Heavenly Ikuyumi bow attack and was criting for 17000 and doing 7.5k regular hits vs 12000 with Murakumo and 5k regular hits. Beat demi-fiend with bow attack after two tries. All you need is one crit and you win with the other 6 shots. Everything else on Nahobino was the same build in video. Also switched out Mephisto for Demeter because I built her with Luster Candy and Debilitate and used her to debuff. No issues.

I can confirm that this strategy is, by far, much more stable. I only needed to make 2 adjustments and I got it on the first try: Switching to putting all damage into magic, Ikuyumi as a hit, and giving Mephisto Debilitate, since Ikuyumi takes all debuffs and turns them into damage, everything else is exactly the same as in the video

Wow thanks man!! was trying to kill this boss for 1 week and finally i did it! BTW guys if u are trying this strategy, demons with phys repel are mandatory ( Girimekhala, Sigfrido, Rangda ) and you need to use exactly the same nahobino build of this video ( for more crit chance )

important: make sure all of your other demons that aren't repel/drain bait null phys. i tried using yoshitsune without null phys instead of sandalphon and he kept targeting yoshitsune instead of the newly swapped demon. i switched him with ongyo-ki with null phys and the strat worked fine.

@d-hunter9801 2 күн бұрын

The strategy from this video worked perfectly, the only difference is that my demons had drain physical instead of reflect, I had a Magic Build as well so I used Heavenly Ikuyumi instead of Murakumo and it worked just as fine, actually, it worked better. I killed him on my first try with this strategy on hard, I'm not even in New Game+ so killing him with this strategy is the way to go.

I followed this but for some reason when i tagged Glasya back in, Demi-fiend went for it instead of Girimekhala the first time the second time he went for Girimekhala though the AI is weird

I’m genuinely happy that the release of Vengeance has fixed the level scaling. For those who don’t know, the level scaling in the original release of SMTV was basically “If you were under even one level against a boss, you were going to have a hard time” I’m genuinely happy they at least made it possible even for me to beat the super boss Shiva AT LEVEL 80! Shiva was level 99. edit: Keep in mind I’ve beaten the demi fiend and Shiva in the OG release as well, but this update makes the boss fights more efficient.

Is this… really the way to fight him? After looking through the internet it’s literally either you are lucky and survive the one shots in his fights or you cheese him. Is that really how atlas wants you to play against this fight? The fight just seems soo dog shit cause of how random the AI can be sometimes plus the stupid ass one shot kills. I get through the fight fine but it’s the stupid ass chaotic will that fucks me over.

@Yawar25 18 күн бұрын

No, this is a cheese strategy. It's possible to beat him in the old way with a Phys Pierce Critical damage dealer, a Elemental Caster, a Buffer/Debuffer and a Healer. There is no strategy, just dealing damage and getting extra turns, that is the way I prefer. Is important to get Resist/Null Phys for all your demons and also Inmortal Soul to your Character and Sustain demons to resist his insta kill move. Also, you have to keep doing enough damage to constantly kill some of his demons. If you don't kill a demon in 4-5 turns, he will just spam that Gaia thing. That move will sweep all your team 100%, so keep pressing on 😅

@pourygin9496 28 күн бұрын

How do you get omnipotent succession? Why can't the MC use taunt, fierce roar, or king of tales with physical immunity so the demifiend wastes his turns? I assume that would be easier than having to swap in a new physical immune demon every turn.

@JRPGLOVER 28 күн бұрын

1. You will get omnipotent succession during Vengeance story (I won't spoil when). 2. If MC and/or demon in party null/drain/reflect physical (excluding the first turn), then Demi-Fiend will Gaea Rage you (insta-kills everyone in party). Switching demons with reflect tricks his AI, since switching in any "new" demon will always trigger Demi-Fiend to physically attack said demon, no matter their affinities, thus overwriting his Gaea Rage script.

You should definitely kill him within ten attempts if you have to same setup. If your crits aren’t hitting over 10K, is something missing? You specifically need +9 almighty, level 99, similar STR, Critical Zealot, 1HP when activating adversity, and +2 buffs with -2 debuffs. Even lower damage could potentially clear with more crits, I only got 2/8 in the video.
