Oh no I just realized. The Mermaid battle is optional. That means you can’t change affinities 💀

Fusion accident rate starts at 1/128 under normal circumstances, during full moon it's always 1/16, and at new moon it's normally 1/128, but if one of the demons is dead it jumps to 1/16 and if both are dead you get the highest rate of 1/8.

I just played SMT V last month in preparation for Vengeance and not a single time in 70+ hours I saw the light of a fusion accident, to the point where (when it happened in Vengeance) I legit thought this was something that was missing in the original.

You poor soul. Next challenge, do any battle you want while playing on Safety Difficulty and defeating some Fiends for some free stat balms. Can't guarantee it will be easy, but should be less painful.

Could've fooled me instead of being a only mandatory battles run to a "oops, all accidents" run

The smtv challenge videos are always my favorites

Most other SMT low level runs: Make use of the fusion systems to create powerful low level demons and use insane stratagies to take down whatever challenge is thrown your way. Low level runs in SMTV: Use fusion accidents to get the highest level demons possible because the game designers thought damage scaling with level was a good idea.

You completed this nightmare of a challenge just in time to do it all again for Vengeance...

Mandatory battle runs are the best runs. Imo it has the most skill expression and forces people to be creative but the grinding for accidental fusions sounds like a true hell

Honestly, I’m surprised. You were able to get into the 80s just from required fights. That’s pretty cool.

Going back to the classic I see Nice Hopefully you try out Vengeance too And amazing run Can’t wait to watch it all 🎉

Amazing as always. I set this to play while working... really made my afternoon more bearable.

Got it out just about in time for Vengeance And nearly 2 and a half hours long? This is definitely gonna be good

I was just remembering about your video on persona 4 with only mandatory battles and you post this The timing could not be better

congrats man! i did a no miracles hard run of this game (also on the law route) and that was already a nightmare even with doing all the sidequests and keeping my level on par. i can't imagine being this underleveled with how brutal the level scaling is in this game. futsunushi, girimekhala, and alilat were absolutely the mvps in the endgame, along with huang long who was legal in my ruleset. the only difference was that i banned accursed poison, but it was a lot more manageable since everything did much less damage due to being equal level. on tsukuyomi after wiping a few times i came up with a strat, when he used true replication i would have MC use a fire shard and used a ruler to measure the HP bars on my screen to see which one was the longest, since the replicas take a little more damage. then i just unloaded on the real one and i was right every single time, it was a great turn to deal lots of damage. really great job, would be interested to see what this run looks like in vengeance

Finished watching the whole video. Really just hearing your experience sounded very miserable lol, but still congrats in the end man!

It hurts so much to watch the last part of the video, because you chose law ending, you could've gotten the miracle that removes the level limit for fusion if you had chosen law-sided options throught the game.

Yesterday I said this was a horrible challenge (in terms of difficulty) 3:00 in and I have the horrible realization it’s much worse than I thought

I really love these long form videos! This is essentially a movie!

Utterly outstanding, thank you for this run!! It was so fun watching through it, the perfect thing to warm me up for Vengeance!

major props to the amount of pain making this video took! 🙌

Really empathized with your frustration during certain parts of this run (and OMG the amount of grinding you had to do was RIDICULOUS!). My only critique is that certain music tracks were kind of tussling with the spoken audio in terms of being a bit distracting.

32:07 this would of tilted me to oblivion and would need a break

I was just thinking about a challenge like this the other day and here you are, posting the exact thing I was wondering about. Wonderufl

Best smt challenge run i ve ever seen. Gj.

This is your best video! I audibly gasped when I saw the fusion accidents, jesus christ This challenge should be much easier with SMTVV considering it has supposedly lessened the influence of level difference on damage and hit rate

Banger video

Lmao i actually guessed the alilat fusion time by your voice tone. Either way, really cool run, my respect!

20:29 nuts considering it's expected that you fight Nuwa at around level 20-22 in a normal run. That's the other side of the level curve in SMTV, I think. Yeah, level scaling has a big impact on damage, but the game rubber bands your xp so that it's very hard to be over- or under leveled for a particular area.

I don't know if anyone has said this already but Switching a demon in after using Omagatoki Luck actually causes that demon to not benefit from the luck bonus. Its actually more worthwhile to keep them in the stock

its so tragic to watch this knowing that vengeance removed level scaling and it came out like the day this video dropped

In order to get the fusion accident achievement i had to keep doing fusions and then reloading when i was out of macca and it still took more than an hour, i can't imagine the pain of doing this run

The sheer amount of Fusion Accident required for this run drove me into madness D:

Surt down at 69 game overs. You could say that was... lit!

3 minutes agoo! your videos are so good! keep it up and have a good day 😊

Everybody all togethwr now! MEGIDOLAON with Italics of course

Thought I was subscribed…I was not. So I now am. Now I know why I hand seen videos 😂

Awesome 👏 incredible journey

This seems insane, I had to grind to beat the first boss on normal

Now beat DemiFiend with this setup... At least this should be easier on Vengeance since level scaling is drastically reduced

The glitch you used to get to the Temple of Eternity early can also be used to access all of Shinagawa before Loup'garou spawns. This also means you can completely skip Loup'garou and Fionn since the story flag actually DOES get updated once you enter the fairy village. (But i imagine you wouldnt want to do that)

That Odin fight!

You beat surt at death counter 69 nice 😂

How would saying Isis out loud get demonetized? Could you explain?

Lol I got 3 accidents in a row during my first playthrough

Wait, is that PSG music?

Crazy and awesome

More about dat when we get dere.

Eyeball Sister or Sister Of The Eye. that's what I called her when my friend thought I was talking about what you were avoiding saying. for those wondering - "Eyeball sister is a bitch, just hit the damn target, god damnit" (4 misses in a row)

What about nocturne?

Is it better to restart the game when trying to get fusion accidents or keep fusing???

Oh you can't change your affinities... And Nuwa basically being a check for if you did that will be... a battle. Edit: Well i expected that to be tougher...

Your profile picture looks like Vaush

Dude next challenge beat any arcade mode on any fighting game with just your feet since you like to punish yourself so much (JK)

Can someone explain why he's not allowed to say isis?

This challenge should be more manageable on Vengeance due to the revamped level/damage scaling, but then again there was a new "highest" difficulty added...

Alot of commercials bro. Almost unwatchable.
