-------------------------- Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 Boss Guide Written by LightKagutsuchi Version .60 Light.Kagutsuchi@Gmail.com -------------------------- //---Table of contents---\\ I. Preface II. Version History III. Contact Information IV. Bosses V. Optional Bosses VI. Credits VII. Disclaimer //---I. Preface---\\ This is a boss guide for Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2. I've tried to provide useful information about all the bosses in the most spoiler free way possible. However, this is my first guide and any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, please note that all my Hp values are approximations. * A note on the way I list attacks: Name of Attack (Attribute [Status effects]-Target) Notes The notes are data on the special effects some attacks possess. Since most ailment and death attacks deal no damage, assume any ailment attribute attack inflicts no damage unless otherwise stated. Stone, Curse, and Death are under the Death attribute. Expel attacks carry the Expel attribute. Most of them only reduce Hp by a certain percentage listed in the notes. Death and Expel are not ailments and not covered by Null Ailment. Mute, Poison, Panic, and Charm are their own attributes and have their own Null Skills. Sleep and Stun are Nerve attribute attacks. All Ice and Elec attacks carry a chance of Freeze and Shock, respectively. Neither Freeze nor Shock can be cured by an item or spell and can only be nullified with Void Ice and Void Elec, respectively. Bind and Bat are special and cannot be blocked or cured by any means. * A note on voiding attacks: If you null an attack's attribute all of its status effects are nulled and the attacker loses a number of Press Turns. Ex: Gate of Hell (Phys [Stone]-All) If you null physical the entire attack will be nullified along with the stone effect and the attacker will lose some press turns. If you null an attack's status effects then you will not be inflicted by them, but the attack will still cause damage and the attacker will not lose any turns. Ex: Gate of Hell (Phys [Stone]-All) If you have Null Death, the attack will still cause damage and the user will lose no press turns, but the Stone effect will never happen. //---II.

Just master the Mantra your characters come with and equip their elemental skills. Recommended Level: 5-10 ---Yaksa Vetala--- Hp: 500 Weak: Force Null: Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Mind Charge Terra Burst (Earth-All) ---Aerial Andras x2--- Hp: 200 Weak: Earth Null: Death, Expel Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Void Force ---Reward--- Karma: 200 $: N/A Item(s): Brave Ration x1 This is an easy battle. One of the Andras will cast Void Force while the others just attack. Use Argilla's Tera and normal attacks to take them out first. Once his allies are gone Vetala will alternate between attacking, using Mind Charge, and then Terra Burst. Although Terra Burst is pretty powerful it shouldn't kill you in one hit. He also only has one press turn, so there are plenty of chances to heal. If you really want to make this easy, have Argilla cast Void Earth after he uses Mind Charge. Vetala should be handled with normal attacks and Gale's Zan skill. <<>> ---Preparations--- Like the first boss, your party is set as Serph, Gale, and Argilla. Since you can buy new Mantra try and teach someone Media, it will come in handy. Recommended Level: 7-12 ---Yaksa Hecantoncheires--- Hp : 1000 Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Counter (Phys-Counter) Executioner (Phys-Single) Hundred Fist (Phys-All) Doubles in power each time it is used. ---Reward--- Karma: 1000 $: 2000 Item(s): Wild Card x1 Unlike the last boss, Hecantoncheires can actually pose a threat. Mostly because of Hundred Fist, a very interesting and unique skill. It uses both of his press turns, hits the whole party and does between 20-30 damage. However, he only uses it once in a while. The first time it inflicts normal damage, the second time its power is doubled, the third tripled, the fourth quadrupled, and after that he starts using it more often and it continues to hit for 4x damage. Since this attack can become very powerful you'll want to take him out quickly. Have Argilla and anyone else with Earth spells use them while everyone else uses magic or physical attacks/skills. Be careful not to use a physical attack with less than 30 Hp or his counter could kill the attacker. Remenber to keep your Hp high using Media and you'll be fine. <<>> ---Preparations--- Kumbhanda is a force based boss, possessing the second tier force spells, Zanma and Mazanma. This makes Argilla a severe liability with her weakness, so either replace her with Gale or have someone cast void Force every turn. Make sure to have Zio on a character or two and Elec Boost if possible. Also, bring a few Dis-Stuns. Recommended Level: 12-17 ---Yaksa Kumbhanda--- * Thanks to Zeruel for the data on Gorge and Black Bind. Hp: 1070 Weak: Elec Null: Force, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Stun Wave (Stun[Stun]-All) Power Wave (Phys-All) Gorge (Almighty-Single) Drain Hp, Double damage when binded. Zanma (Force-Single) Mazanma (Force-All) Black Bind (Almigthy [Bind]-All) Does not inflict damage. ---Reward--- Karma: 1600 $: 5000 Item(s): Blood Ruby x1 Yaksa Kumbhanda is another difficult boss. Stun Wave can Stun your entire party and should be cured immediately. Gorge is a physical attack that restores Kumbhanda's Hp by the damage inflicted, about 60. Black Bind can inflict the whole party with bind, rendering them unable to act and causing most of Kumbhanda's physical attacks to critical. It usually wears off in a turn or so. Use Elec spells to exploit Kumbhanda's weakness and heal with Media often. If you're using Argilla, cast Void Force every turn. He'll go down eventually. <<>> ---Preparations--- Equip someone with Media and try to have the spells Zan, Tera, Agi, and their respective boosts on at least one character. If you have the second tier versions of any of those spells, use them, but its not neccessary. Avoid multi-target skills or spells. Recommended Level: 15-20 Part 1: ---Human Tribhvana:Air--- Hp: ???? Null: Expel, Death, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Assault Rod (Phys [Shock]-Single) Sonic Stone (Force-All) ---Human Tribhvana:Earth--- Hp: ???? Null: Expel, Death, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Rifle (Phys-Single) ---Human Tribhvana:Heaven--- Hp: ???? Null: Expel, Death, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Assault Rod (Phys [Shock]-Single) Bolt Rod (Elec-All) The first part of this battle is pretty simple. Their Hp is marked as ???? because it is meaningless; once you inflict enough damage they'll Transform and begin Part 2. Part 2: ---Yaksa Cu Sith--- Hp: 880 Weak: Fire Null: Force, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Void skills -kaja skills Zandyne (Force-Single) Dia ---Yaksa Ubelluris--- Hp: 1000 Weak: Force Null: Physical, Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Body Rush (Phys-Single) Hell Thrust (Phys-Single) Mad Rush (Phys-Random) ---Yaksa Ganga--- Hp: 700 Weak: Earth Null: Fire, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) -Dyne spells (Element-Single) Ma-Dyne spells (Element-All) ---Reward--- Karma: 1500 $: 6000 Item(s): Tiger's Eye x1 This is the real battle. Each Tribhvana here performs a specific function, Cu Sith acts as a support mage, Ubelluris as a physical attacker, and Ganga as an attack mage. Cu Sith is relatively harmless, most of his time is spent either voiding one of his alies weakness or casting boost spells. He is also capable of using Dia and Zandyne very rarely. Ubelluris will only use physical attacks including Body Rush, Hell Thrust, and Mad Rush. All but Mad Rush are single target attacks, so he shouldn't be a problem as long as you heal often. Ganga, however is the most dangerous of the trio. She knows all of the third tier elemental spells and their multi target counterparts. There is almost no possible way to avoid her hitting a weakness and gaining an extra press turn. Unfortunately, because of their properties you can only use single target skills/magic on them. Focus on taking out Ganga first, utilizing Earth magic and physical attacks. Once she's gone start taking out Ubelluris using Force spells and other magic. Finally, take out Cu Sith using Fire spells and physical attacks. As long as you keep your Hp high you should survive. <<>> ---Preparations--- Keep the same skill set you had in the last battle. Just equip Void Elec on someone. Recommended Level: 15-20 ---Yaksa Cu Sith--- Hp: 1200 Weak: Fire Null: Force, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Void skills -kaja skills Zandyne (Force-Single) Dia ---Yaksa Ubelluris--- Hp: 1700 Weak: Force Null: Physical, Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Body Rush (Phys-Single) Hell Thrust (Phys-Single) Mad Rush (Phys-Random) ---Yaksa Ganga--- Hp: 1000 Weak: Earth Null: Fire, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) -Dyne spells (Element-Single) Ma-Dyne spells (Element-All) ---Combo--- Cu Sith + Ubelluris + Ganga: Bolt Rain (Elec-All) ---Reward--- Karma: 2400 $: 9000 Item(s): Scarlet Pearl x1 Well, the Tribhvana are back, and practically the same as before. The key difference in this battle is their new combo, Bolt Rain. This extremely powerful Elec based attack hits the entire party for around 130 damage and can cause Shock. You really don't want this attack to connect, so have someone cast Void Elec every turn. Meanwhile, attack Ganga using Earth spells and physical attacks. Once she's gone the Tribhvana will be unable to use their combo. From that point on this is almost the same as the last fight. Keep your Hp high and you'll win eventually. <<>> ---Preparation--- Equip your party members with Ice magic and Ice Boost. If you want to use Serph give someone Void Fire. Equip Media on someone. Recommended Level: 25-30 Part 1: ---Human Karma Soldier x4--- Hp: 130 Null: Death, Expel Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Rifle (Phys-Single) Various Elem. Items (Element-All) These guys are almost exactly like normal Karma Soldiers. They can use Rifle and various elemental items like Land Mine and Ice Blast. However, they are terribly weak, just kill them with multi target physical skills and/or magic to make Agni appear. Part 2: ---Asura Agni--- Hp: 2000 Weak: Ice Drain: Fire Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) High Counter (Phys-Counter) Agidyne (Fire-Single) Double Slash (Phys-Random) Hell Fang (Phys-Single) ---Beast Gdon x2--- Hp: 800 Weak: Ice Drain: Fire Null: Death, Expel Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Counter (Phys-Counter) Drain Ice ---Reward--- Karma: 4292 $: 2160 Item(s): Molotov x1, Soma x1 This battle shouldn't be too difficult, provided you have void Fire. Agni loves to cast Agidyne, usually on Serph, and he can also use Double Slash and Hell Fang. He will also occassionally use Mind Charge and then Agidyne. One of his allies will cast Ice Drain every turn, the other will usually just attack. Be careful, his allies have Counter and he has High Counter. Cast Void Fire every turn ang focus on killing his allies while keeping your party healed. Once they're gone finish Agni using Ice spells. <<>> ---Preparations--- This battle can be extrmely difficult, you're stuck with Cielo for this battle and if you haven't leveled him you'll be in for some difficulty. You'll want the Fire, Earth, and Force elemental spells of the second tier or higher between your characters. Also, equip the corressponding Boost spells, have at least two characters equipped with Media, and bring Sukunda and/or Sukukaja. Recommended Level: 25-30 ---Yaksa Abaddon--- Hp: 3700 Properties Vary Press Turns: 3 Attacks Vary ---Reward--- Karma: 3000 $: 20000 Item(s): Great Chakra x1 ---Phase 1:--- Weak: Force Null: Physical, Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Body Rush (Phys-Single) Mad Rush (Phys-Random) Power Wave (Phys-All) Hell Thrust (Phys-Single) *Gate to Abyss *Bellow *Noxious Cloud (Phys(?) [Poison]-All) *Regurgitate Abaddon's first phase mimics Ubelluris in properties and strategy. He'll focus on physical attacks in this mode, some of which can be quite strong and tend to critical quite often. To cause him to change phases attack with Force based magic and any other spells besides Earth. Keep your Hp close to max using Media, or Angelic Grace, which increases your defense too. Cast Sukunda and/or Sukukaja to the max as well. * Once enough damage has been inflicted he'll eat one of your allies with Gate to Abyss, rendering them unable to act. He'll spit them out if you continue to damage him or after a set amount of time (although he'll also use Noxious Cloud). He'll then use Bellow to change his properties, and use his final press turn to attack, moving to the next phase. ---Phase 2:--- Weak: Earth Null: Fire, Death, Expel, Ailments Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) -Dyne spells (Element-Single) Ma-Dyne spells (Element-All) *Gate to Abyss *Bellow *Noxious Cloud (Phys(?) [Poison]-All) *Regurgitate During this phase he mimics Ganga's properties and attacks. This can be a very difficult phase, his spells are strong and hit weaknesses very often. You can have one of your characters cast a Void spell to compensate for a weakness, but this means you get less turns and will only reduce the chance of him hitting a weakness. Alternately, you could attack him relentlessly with Eart spells until he switches. Obviously keep your Hp at nearly max value. * Once enough damage has been inflicted he'll eat one of your allies with Gate to Abyss, rendering them unable to act. He'll spit them out if you continue to damage him or after a set amount of time (although he'll also use Noxious Cloud). He'll then use Bellow to change his properties, and use his final press turn to attack, moving to the next phase. ---Phase 3:--- Weak: Fire Null: Force, Death, Expel, Ailments Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) -kaja skills -nda skills Silent Howl (Mute damage [Mute]-All)) Zandyne (Force-Single) *Gate to Abyss *Bellow *Noxious Cloud (Phys(?) [Poison]-All) *Regurgitate This phase mimics Cu sith's attacks and properties. This phase is probably the least dangerous, the only powerful skill is Zandyne. He can mute and weaken you characters while boosting his own stats. However, he is far easier than the other phases. Just exploit his weakness and stay healed until he switches. * Once enough damage has been inflicted he'll eat one of your allies with Gate to Abyss, rendering them unable to act. He'll spit them out if you continue to damage him or after a set amount of time (although he'll also use Noxious Cloud). He'll then use Bellow to change his properties, and use his final press turn to attack, moving to the next phase. * After Phase 3 Abaddon will continue to cycle through his 3 phases until his Hp is depleted. <<>> ---Preparations--- This really isn't a boss, but it can be troublesome, so I'll count it as one. You'll want a party with few elemental weaknesses, so include Cielo and two other people Also, equip one of your other party members with the Hee-Ho Ring, if you have it. Equip Zionga or Mazionga and Elec Boost on most of your characters. Also, equip Media on someone. Recommended Level: 30-35 ---Device Laser Cannon x2--- Hp: 1500 Weak: Elec Resist: Physical Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Flare Ray (Fire-All) Magna Ray (Earth-All) Sonic Blast (Force-All) Plasma Ray (Elec-All) Freeze Ray (Ice-All) Revert Pulse Reverts a character. ---Reward--- Karma: 3000 $: 15000 Item(s): None This battle can be difficult if you don't know what you're doing. The cannons can use multi target attacks from every elemental and can occassionaly revert your characters to human form. The cannons will hit your weaknesses often. The best way to win is to keep yourself healed and pummel the cannons with Elec spells until they are destroyed. <<>> ---Preparations--- This battle is almost exactly like the first except no elemental attacks. So, you don't have to use Cielo. Besides that, just use the same skills as the last battle. Recommended Level: 30-35 ---Device 20mm Machinegun x2--- Hp: 1500 Weak: Elec Resist: Physical Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Fire (Phys [Sleep]-Single) Fire (Phys [Stun]-Single) Fire (Phys [Poison]-Single) Barrage (Phys-Random) Sharpshoot (Phys-Single) High critical rate. ---Reward--- Karma: 3000 $: 15000 Item(s): None Unlike the last battle these guns prefer physical attacks to elemental ones. The three Fire skills are exactly the same except for the statuses they can cause. Barrage is a multi target and multi hit attack that can be very dangerous. Sharpshoot is a powerful physical attack that has a very high critical rate. This battle is a lot like the last one; simply keep your Hp high and exploit their weaknesses, you should be fine. <<>> <<< Device 20mm Machinegun >>> ---Preparations--- You should include Cielo in your party for this battle, and equip the Hee-Ho Ring if you have it. Also put the skill Void Fire on someone. Beside that just use the same skills as the last battle. Recommended Level: 30-35 ---Device Gate Core (Closed)--- Hp: 2200 Resist: Physical, Elements Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Load Open ---Device Gate Core (Open)--- Weak: Elec Null: Death, Expel Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Flare Cannon (Fire-All) Close ---Device Laser Cannon--- Hp: 1500 Weak: Elec Resist: Physical Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Flare Ray (Fire-All) Magna Ray (Earth-All) Sonic Blast (Force-All) Plasma Ray (Elec-All) Freeze Ray (Ice-All) Revert Pulse Reverts a character. ---Device 20mm Machinegun--- Hp: 1500 Weak: Elec Resist: Physical Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Fire (Phys [Sleep]-Single) Fire (Phys [Stun]-Single) Fire (Phys [Poison]-Single) Barrage (Phys-Random) Sharpshoot (Phys-Single) ---Reward--- Karma: 3000 $: 16000 Item(s): Wild Bomb x1 This battle is very similar to the other two. The two guns will do the exact same thing as they did in the last two battles. However, the Gate Core in the center is new. It will use its turn to count down from five every turn. When it reaches one it will use Load, which does nothing. The next turn it will open, and the turn after that it will use the extremely powerful Flare Cannon. You really do not want this attack to connect, so cast Void Fire after the Gate Core opens. Besides that, simply continue attacking the other guns with Elec attacks, starting with the Laser Cannon. Once both of the guns are gone, the Gate Core will enter Genocide Mode and remain open permanently. During this mode it uses Flare Cannon every turn. You must cast Void Fire every turn during this mode or you'll be healing constantly. Just continue using Elec attacks and it will die eventually. <<>> ---Preparations--- Remove Gale from your party for this battle; equip your party members with single target Earth and Fire magic with their respective boosts. Also equip Media or better on at least one of your characters. Bring along a few Dis-Mute items as well. Recommended Level: 30-35 Part: 1 ---3x Dragon Naga--- Hp: 650 Weak: Earth, Fire Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Repel: Elec Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Void Fire Ziodyne (Elec-Single) Maziodyne (Elec-All) Makajam (Mute [Mute]-Single) Makajamon (Mute [Mute]-All) These guys are just a warm up. Cast Earth and Fire spells and they will die very quickly. Part 2: ---Yaksa Raja Naga--- Hp: 2500 Weak: Fire Null: Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Repel: Elec Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Mute Blow (Phys [Mute]-Single) Maziodyne (Elec-All) Vanity (Almighty [Ailmemts]-All) Reinforcement ---2x Dragon Naga--- Hp: 650 Weak: Earth, Fire Null: Death, Expel Repel: Elec Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Void Fire Ziodyne (Elec-Single) Maziodyne (Elec-All) Makajam (Mute [Mute]-Single) Makajamon (Mute [Mute]-All) ---Combo--- Raja Naga + 2x Naga: Conviction (Phys-All) Kills Muted character 100% ---Reward--- Karma: 7000 $: 18000 Item: Hope Diamond x1 The only part of this battle that can pose a serious threat is Conviction. All of the other attacks these guys can use are pretty weak. Cielo and Roland resist Elec attacks, while the mute status and Vanity are mere annoyances. The best way to tackle this battle is to take out at least one Naga on the first turn using Fire and Earth attacks. Once one of them is gone they won't be able to use Convivtion anymore. After that kill the other one and start attacking Raja Naga with Fire and physical attacks. He can use Reinforcement to summon new Nagas, but only one at a time. As long as you keep killing them and attacking Raja Naga you'll win, eventually. <<>> ---Preparations--- Equip Zionga/Mazionga and Elec Boost on all of your party members. Also, equip someone with Void/Drain Fire and at least one character with Mediarama. Bring someone with Sukunda and/or Sukukaja as well. If possible equip the Hee-Ho Ring and Dragon Ring on two of your party members. Bring along around 10-20 Dis-Mute items. Recommended Level: 35-40 ---Yaksa Vritra--- Hp: 3000 Weak: Elec Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Drain: Fire Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Silent Howl (Mute damage [Mute]-All) Agidyne (Fire-Single) -nda spells Gelid Torrent (Ice-All) Power Wave (Phys-All) Inferno Roar (Almighty-All) Sonic Wave Regenerate ---2x Yaksa Tentacle--- Hp: 500 Null: Fire, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Sweep (Phys-All) ---Rewards--- Karma: 9230 $: 37500 Item(s): Soma Drop x1 This battle can be very challenging if you don't know what you're doing. While his tentacles are alive Vritra will use Silent Howl, -unda skills, and Agidyne a lot. Only occassionaly will he use Gelid Torrent, a powerful ice attack that hits everyone. It can freeze you, but if someone has the Hee-Ho Ring you should be fine. The only thing his tentacles can do besides attack is use Sweep, which is just a physical attack that hits your whole party. Start the battle by casting Sukunda and/or Sukukaja to the limit. While his tentacles are alive cast Void/Drain Fire every turn and attack them evenly with whatever you have. Once both of them are gone Vritra will change his pattern. He'll still use Agidyne, but he'll also use Inferno Roar, an immensly powerful Almighty attack. Since it can't be blocked you'll have to heal immediately after he uses it. Use Mediarama, since Media is useless against an attack dealing that much damage. Attack his head using Elec attacks until he decides to Regenerate his tentacles. Repeat the process until he dies, which will take awhile. <<>> *Thanks to Zeruel for the data on Black Impulse and White Impulse. ---Preparations--- None ---Yaksa Real Varna--- Hp: 1800 Weak: None Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Black Impulse (Death damage-Single) ---Yaksa Fake Varna--- Hp: 1800 Weak: None Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) White Impulse (Expel damage-Single) ---Reward--- Karma: 80000 $: 0 Item(s): Soma x1 The key to this battle is Agni. He possesses Agidyne, which is capable of causing huge damage to either Varna. Winning this battle is very simple, have Agni use Agidyne while Serph heals every few turns. Seriously this battle is very easy, you really shouldn't have any trouble. ***There are 4 optional bosses available now. If you do not defeat them before you finish the Airport they become unavaiable. Info available in the optional boss section. Use Ctrl-F and search for <<<**4 Archangels**>>>. <<>> ---Preparations--- Have a party of Serph, Sera, and someone else. Unequip all of their skills. Equip them all with some Fire attack and Fire Boost. Equip one of them with Mediarama and Void/Drain Fire. You can equip one with Void Phys if you wish, but it's unneccessary. Recommended Level: 46-51 ---Yaksa Chernobog--- Hp: 3300 Weak: Fire Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Rage Calamity Dark Slumber Dark Awakening Power Charge Gate of Hell (Phys [Stone]-All) Death Blow (Phys [Curse]-All) Wicked Curse (Death damage [Curse]-All) ---Shadow ****--- Hp: abou 2x that of the original Weak: Same as original Resist: Same as original Null: Same as original Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Same as original ---Reward--- Karma: 15000 $: 100000 Item(s): Purple Crystal x1 At the outset of this battle Chernobog will use Calamity to make shadow clones of two of your characters. He then use Dark Slumber and becomes a sword, making any attacks you target him with miss. He won't act during this time either, and the clones get his Press Turns. The clones share the attacks of the originals, which is why I suggested you unequiup all but the neccessary skills. Provided you took my advice, All you need to do is cast Void/Drain Fire every turn and attack the clones using Fire spells and the Attack command. Once they're dead Chernobog will use Dark Awakening and you'll be able to attack him. All you need is Fire attacks, use them and keep your Hp high and he should go down without much trouble. If you really want an easy time just cast Void Phys every turn once his clones are gone and he'll be completely helpless. <<>> ---Preparations--- Use a party of Serph, Sera, and Cielo. You'll want the Dekunda combo, 2x -kaja skills. You can bring the Dekaja combo, 2x -unda skills or just use the Dekaja Rock. As always, equip Mediarama. If you want, equip either Void Force or Void Elec. Recommended Level: 48-53 ---Yaksa Kartikeya--- Hp: 4000 Weak: Gun Null: Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Mazandyne (Force-All) Maziodyne (Elec-All) Vivid Gust Taunt Chi Blast (Phys-All) Makakaja Tarukaja Tempest (Force-Random) Jupiter's Fury (Elec-Random) Myriad Spears (Phys-All) ---Reward--- Karma: 20000 $: 120000 Item(s): Malachite x1 This battle is pretty standard. He mostly uses Force and Elec attacks, one of which you can void if you so choose. He can also use some powerful physical attacks, which are survivable, provided you dispell his boosts and heal regularly. The only attack that can be problematic is Vivid Gust. As long as it's in effect your accurracy is reduced to almost nothing. Keep trying to attack, if one of them connects Vivid Gust is dispelled. His only weakness is Gun, so just attack him with your best skills until he goes down, or revert someone to human form to exploit his weakness. <<>> ---Preparations--- Equip everyone with Ice spells and Ice Boost. Equip someone with Void/Drain Fire and someone with Mediarama. Recommended Level: 50-55 ---Asura Hayagriva--- Hp: 3000 Weak: Ice Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Drain: Fire Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Firestorm (Fire-All) Void Ice Psycho Rage Skewer (Fire-Single) ---Reward--- Karma: 15300 $: 150000 Item(s): Soma Drop x1 Just like in the last game Hayagriva only has Fire attacks. Just cast Void/Drain Fire every turn and attack using Ice spells or physical attacks. This battle really shouldn't be much trouble. <<>> ---Preparations--- Equip your characters with Elec and Earth spells and their respective Boosts/Amps. Equip someone with Void/Drain/Repel Force and someone with Mediarama and Enervate or Tarunda. Recommended Level: 55-60 ---Asura Camazotz(Normal)--- * Thanks to Zeruel for the data on Zotzilha Bane. Hp: 4600 Weak: Elec Null: Earth, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Spiral Edge (Phys-All) Rage Winds of Hell (Force-All) Psycho rage Zotzilha Bane (Almighty [Bat]-Single) Drains Hp *Guard ---Asura Camazotz(Guard) Weak: Earth Everything Else: About 1 Damage ---Reward--- Karma: 20000 $: 300000 Item(s): Purple Crystal x1 Camazotz is almost the same as in the first game. Only difference is that he is now weak to Elec and Zotzilha Bane restores a very small amount of his Hp. You'll want to use the opening turns of the battle to cast Enervate, and Void/Drain/Repel Force if you're using Argilla. Attack him using Elec spells and he'll use Guard eventually. Once he uses it every attack will do about 1 damage, but he becomes weak to Earth attacks. After a while he'll start using Zotzilha Bane on your characters. This attack inflicts the Bat status, which turns your characters into bats, making them weak to Force and greatly decreasing their stats. There is no way to cure it, so just use Void/Drain/Repel Force and heal yourself until it wears off. Continue attacking Camazotz until he dies. <<>> ---Preparations--- Equip your characters with Fire and Force attacks and their respective Boosts/Amps. Equip one or more characters with a healing spell and Void/ Drain/Repel Earth. Recommended Level: 60-65 ---Asura Rahu(Head)--- Hp: 3500 Weak: Force Null: Elec, Fire, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Dragon Thrash Reunite *Attack (Phys-Single) *Mind Charge *Rage *Power Charge *Ziodyne (Elec-Single) *Diarama ---Asura Rahu(Body)--- Hp: 3500 Weak: Fire Null: Ice, Force, Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 1 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) High Counter (Phys-Counter) Dragon Quake (Earth-All) Gate of Hell (Phys [Stone]-All) Tarukaja Rakukaja Rakunda Psycho Rage ---Reward--- Karma: 30000 $: 300000 Item(s): Malachite x1 Attacks marked with an * are only used once his body is dead. Rahu is the same as he was in the last game. The only dangerous attack here is Dragon Quake, Null it if you so desire with Void/Drain/Repel Earth. The head can use Dragon Thrash, which captures one of your characters and renders them unable to act. The head will absorb some of their Hp after every action as long as he has them. There isn't anything you can do about Dragon Thrash, so just continue to attack the body with Fire attacks and cast Void/Drain/ Repel Earth every turn. Once the body dies the head will stop using Dragon Thrash. At this point the battle should be a breeze, just attack using Force attacks and he'll go down quickly. <<>> ---Preparations--- Don't use Gale for this battle, the Elec attacks later on will kill him fast. Make sure all your characters have a -dyne spell and coresponding Amp, the element dosen't matter. Equip someone with Void/Drain/Repel Force and someone with Enervate and/or Spell Gloom and Dekaja. Having a good Almighty spell, like Reincarnate is a must. Like always, equip someone with your best healing spell. Recommended Level: 67-72 ---Asura Ravana--- Hp: 11000 Weak: None Resist: Physical Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Executioner (Phys-Single) Skull Cleave (Phys-Single) Infinite Wind (Force-All) Rage Jupiter's Fury (Elec-Random) Maziodyne (Elec-All) Magic Repel Makakaja Genocide (Phys-All) Psycho Rage Mind Charge Tentarafoo (Panic damage [Panic]-All) ---Reward--- Karma: 30000 $: 500000 Item(s): Medical Gear x1 Ravana's physical attacks can be quite annoying, so start the battle by using Enervate and Dark Mirage to weaken him. He won't start using Infinite Wind until he takes some damage, so you should focus on debuffing him and healing for the first few turns. Once he's weakened start attacking him with your -dyne spells and healing as neccessary. Once he takes around 2000 damage he'll start using Infinite Wind. At this point you should start casting Void/Repel/Drain Force every turn while attacking and healing. Another 3000 damage and he'll start using Rage and Magic Repel. You'll want to start using any Almighty attacks you may have while casting Void/Repel/Drain Force and healing. If he starts using Makakaja make sure to use Dekaja after he casts two of them. Once his Hp is in the red he'll start using Psycho Rage. At this point continue to attack, heal and cast Void/Repel/Drain Force until he dies. <<>> ---Preparations--- Equip someone in your party with Void/Drain Phys and someone with Void/Drain Elec. You'll want Debilitate or the combo, Mind Charge and any -nda skill, with the Synchro Ring. It is also helpful to bring Rakukaja. You'll also want at least Null Charm and Null Panic or Null Ailment on all of your characters. At least one person should have Mediarahan as well. Recommended Level: 68-72 ---Yaksa Meganada (Physical)--- Hp: 9000 Weak: None Null: Physical, Death, Expel, Ailments Drain: Elec Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Mad Rush (Phys-Random) Black Bhakti Viraj Blade (Almighty-Random) *Moksha ---Yaksa Meganada (Magic)--- Weak: None Null: Fire, Earth, Ice, Force, Death, Expel, Ailments Drain: Elec Press Turns: 4 Attacks: Dekunda Tentarafoo (Panic damage [Panic]-All) Fatal Charm (Charm damage [Charm]-All) Vanity (Almighty [Ailments]-All) Black Bhakti Meru Thunder (Elec-All) *Moksha ---Reward--- Karma: 40000 $: 500000 Item(s): Great Chakra x1 * Moksha is used to change Meganada's state. Meganada begins this battle in his physical state. His physical attacks are immensly powerful, you must cast Void/Drain Phys evey turn if you want to survive. You should use the first few turns of the battle to cast Debilitate on him four times and Rakukaja on yourself four times. Do not attack during this period, just cast Void/Drain Phys. Once you're ready start attacking him using Almighty and any magic attacks besides Elec. After a short while he'll use Black Bhakti and then Attack. On the next turn he will use Viraj Blade, an unblockable and extremely powerful attack. Make sure he is fully debilitated and your Hp is at full. He'll do this intermittently during his physical state, just continue to attack and cast Void/Drain Phys every turn until he uses Moksha to change his state. When he change states he'll most likely cast Dekunda, but it really shouldn't be a big deal, but he also gains two more Press Turns. He can use numerous status altering spells, but with Null Panic and Null Charm you should be fine. Like his last form he will use Black Bhakti, but this time he'll use Meru Thunder on the next turn. You must cast Void/Drain Elec after he use Black Bhakti or you will die. Other than that, just attack using Physical attacks and Almighty attacks. He will use Moksha to switch back to his physical state after a while. He'll use his remaining three Press Turns to Attack your characters, but he shouldn't kill anyone. Once he changes you should recast Debilitate and Rakukaja at least twice if he casted Dekunda. Just keep attacking and following the strategy for each state. He will start to speed up his use of Moksha and Black Bhakti as he lose Hp, but you should be fine as long as you follow the strategy. <<>> ---Prepartaions--- Between your characters you'll want Fire, Earth, Ice, Force, and Elec Drain spells. Dekaja and Dekunda are a requirement. You'll want Mediarahan on at least one character. You should try to have Null Death and Null Expel on almost everyone. You'll want Debilitate or the combo, Mind Charge and any -nda skill, with the Synchro Ring. Null Ailment can be helpful, but is far from a neccessity. I like to use Mind Charge and Last Word together to devestate him, but anything will do really. Recommended Level: 69-74 ---God Brahman One--- Hp: 4000 Weak: None Drain: Fire Press Turns: 5 Attacks: Light (Almighty-All) Trisagion (Fire-All) Agidyne (Fire-Single) Makanda Mind Charge Hamaon (Expel-Single) 80% Hp reduction. Xanadu (Expel damage-All) Megidolaon (Almighty-All) During this form Brahman will use Fire attacks almost exclusively. Just cast Drain fire every turn and use anything but Fire spells to attack him. Cast Debilitate four times. Once his Hp is gone cast Drain Force instead of Drain Fire sice he'll switch next turn. ---God Brahman Two--- Hp: 4000 Weak: None Drain: Fire Press Turns: 5 Attacks: Light (Almighty-All) Vayviva (Force-All) Zandyne (Force-Single) Fatal Charm (Charm damage [Charm]-All) Power Charge Gate of Hell (Phys [Stone]-All) Much like the last battle, cast Drain Force while attacking with anything but Force attacks. Once his Hp is depleted cast Drain Earth since he'll switch next turn. ---God Brahman Three--- Hp: 4000 Weak: None Drain: Earth Press Turns: 5 Attacks: Light (Almighty-All) Titanomachia (Earth-All) Teradyne (Earth-Single) Wicked Curse (Death damage [Curse]-All) Eternal Zero Much like the last battle, cast Drain Earth while attacking with anything but Earth attacks. He can now use Eternal Zero, which maximizes his stats and minimizes yours. Cast Dekaja and Dekunda immediately afterward. Remember to recast Debilitate as well. Once his Hp is depleted cast Drain Elec since he'll switch next turn. ---God Brahman Four--- Hp: 6000 Weak: None Drain: Elec Press Turns: 5 Attacks: Light (Almighty-All) Narukami (Elec-All) Ziodyne (Elec-Single) Neural Shock (Nerve damage[Stun]-All) Power Charge Mind Charge Eternal Zero Much like the last battle, cast Drain Elec while attacking with anything but Elec attacks. He can still use Eternal Zero, which maximizes his stats and minimizes yours. Cast Dekaja and Dekunda immediately afterward. Remember to recast Debilitate as well. Once his Hp is depleted cast Drain Ice since he'll switch next turn. ---God Brahman Final--- Hp: 6000 Weak: None Drain: Ice Press Turns: 5 Attacks: Light (Almighty-All) Nilfheim (Ice-All) Bufudyne (Ice-Single) Silent Howl (Mute damage [Mute]-All) Mind Charge Eternal Zero Marevert Revert Much like the last battle, cast Drain Ice while attacking with anything but Ice attacks. He can still use Eternal Zero, which maximizes his stats and minimizes yours. Cast Dekaja and Dekunda immediately afterward. Remember to recast Debilitate as well. This time he also has a new attack he'll use once his Hp is in the red. It doubles in power each time it is used and can be very dangerous if he uses Eternal Zero before. It may be a good idea to use an Impel Stone and kill him as soon as his Hp becomes red. Either way, keep attackind and he'll die eventually. (I never saw his almighty attack, so if someone could tell me what it's called I would be grateful) <<>> //---V.Optional Bosses---\\ <<<**4 Archangels**>>> ---To Unlock--- To unlock the following four bosses reenter the EGG and talk to the scientist near the entrance.

During this part of the battle just keep your Hp high and use ice attacks. Once half of his Hp has been depleted he'll start using Judgement and Jupiter's Fury. Both are very powerful, but Judgement, a Fire attack, is the most dangerous. However, if you cast Void/Drain Fire every turn the attack will be rendered harmless.

He can use Zandyne, but only on once in a very long while. Just use Elec attacks until he loses half his Hp. At this point he'll start using Winged Fury and Blood Bath. Winged Fury is a powerful force attack and can lower your accurracy/agility. Just cast Void/Drain Force every turn and keep using Elec attacks until he dies. <<>> ---Location--- The Karma Society Tower, where you fought the Tribhvana the first time. ---Preparations--- Have a party of Serph, Sera, and Gale. Equip everyone with Force attacks and Force Boost. Equip someone with Mediarama and Void Charm if possible. If you have it, equip the Skull Ring. Bring along a lot of status curing items.

Demon Rage (Phys-All) ---Reward--- Karma: 1538 $: 37500 Item(s): Star Sapphire x1 Gabriel is only capable of inflicting minimal damage. However, she can inflict your party with every ststus effect imaginable. For the first half of the battle, she follows a predictable pattern of Tentarafoo, Silent Howl, Neural Shock, Fatal Charm, Wicked Curse, and Mamudoon used in that order. Once you deplete half her Hp she'll use Heavenly Smile, which can cause random ailments. Then she'll follow her usual pattern. Once you deplete three quarters of her Hp, she'll start using her attacks randomly. The best way to win this battle is to cast Void Charm either every turn or when she is going to cast Fatal Charmor Heavenly Smile. Attack using Force skills, heal, and cure other status ailments until she dies. <<>> ---Location--- In the Occupied Sector, on the highest level, Surface. ---Preparations--- You'll want a party of Serph, Sera, and Cielo. You'll want the Force, Elec, and Ice elemental spells on as many of them as possible. If you can, include the Boosts as well. Equip at least one, preferably two of them with Mediarama. You'll want someone with Void/Drain Fire and Void Charm. Bring along at least Sukunda and Sukukaja. If possible Rakukaja is also helpful. Equip your party with the Skull Ring, Divine Ring, and Hee-Ho Ring if you have them. Bring along numerous status curing items, and an Impel Stone for emergencies.

Part 4: ---Light Michael--- Hp: 4800 Weak: None Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Press Turns: 2 Attacks: -Dyne spells (Element-Single) Demon Rage (Phys-All) Explode (Fire-Random) Cold Wave (Ice-Random) Tempest (Force-Random) Jupiter's Fury (Elec-Random) Vanity (Almighty [Ailments]-All) No damage. *Rage *Dekunda *Dekaja *Mind Charge *Power Charge Megidolaon (Almighty-All) *Ragnarok (Almighty-All) Omnipotence (Phys-All) Bloodbath (Phys-All) ---Reward--- Karma: 6614 $: 412500 Item(s): Gospel x1 ---Unlocks--- Dragonslayer Mantra Make sure you return Cielo to your party if you removed him for Gabriel. Attacks marked with an * are only used if a -kaja or -unda spell is used thrice or more. If you cast three or more of a -kaja spell, he'll use Rage, Dekaja, Mind Charge, and then Megidolaon. If you cast three or more of a -unda spell he'll use Rage, Dekunda, Power Charge, and then Ragnarok. For his normal pattern he'll spend his time using various -dyne spells and Demon Rage. Start by casting Sukunda on him only twice and Sukukaja/Rakukaja on yourself twice. Heal constantly and attack him whenever possible with whatever you have, while casting Void/Drain Fire every turn. Once half his Hp is gone he'll stop using the -dyne spells and begin using everything from Explode to Vanity. Just keep doing the same thing and cure the status effects as neccessary. Once he only has one quarter of his Hp remaining he'll start using the extremely powerful Omnipotence and Megidolaon. At this point keep doing the same thing, but try to end the battle quickly. If you find yourself in trouble, use the Impel Stone to get back on your feet. <<<**Jack Frost**>>> ---To Unlock--- Answer all 100 of Jack Frost's questions correctly to get the Certificate. <<>> ---Location--- Sun, 3rd Layer 2nd floor, up an elevator near the Large Data Node. ---Preparations--- Your preparations will depend upon what startegy you want to use: Strat 1: Equip everyone with Agidyne, Fire Amp and Fire Boost. Equip someone with the Hee-Ho Ring if you have it and someone with Repel/Drain Phys. Also, make sure someone has Spell Gloom and Dark Mirage. As always equip someone with your best healing spell. If at all possible, learn Null Panic as it can be very useful. Strat 2: Equip everyone with Agidyne, Fire Amp and Fire Boost. Equip someone with the Hee-Ho Ring if you have it and someone with Void Ice. Also, make sure someone has Spell Gloom and Dark Mirage. As always equip someone with your best healing spell. If at all possible, learn Null Panic as it can be very useful. Recommended Level: 65-70 ---Nether Jack Frost--- Hp: 6000 Weak: Fire Resist: Force, Elec, Physical Null: Death, Expel, Ailments Drain: Ice Press Turns: 2 Attacks: Attack (Phys-Single) Breath (Ice-Single/Multi hit) Tentarafoo (Panic damage [Panic]-All) Megidolaon (Almighty-All) Dekunda Zandyne (Force-Single) ---Reward--- Karma: 20000 $: 300000 Item(s): None ---Unlocks--- Access to the Magatama Ammo and Pass Ring contained in the strange objects in his room. Jack Frost is much harder than he looks. He is also very smart. His best attack is Breath, a very powerful Ice attack that can hit one character up to two times and almost always Freezes them. Afterward, he'll use Psycho Rage and Attack the frozen character relentlessly until they die. You might think you can avoid this by casting Void Ice. But Jack won't attack any character who is immune to Ice attacks, and if your whole party is immune, he'll use double Megidolaons instead. There are two ways to approach this battle: Strat 1: Use Spell Gloom to lower his magic attack and Dark Mirage to lower his Accuracy/Agility. Cast Repel/Drain Phys every turn and attack him with Agidyne. He'll still be able to use Breath, but his physical attacks will be rendered useless. You'll have to heal often and recast Spell Gloom and Dark Mirage when he uses Dekunda. Just watch out for Tentarafoo, it can really mess you up if you don't have Null Panic. Strat 2: Use Spell Gloom to lower his magic attack and Dark Mirage to lower his Accuracy/Agility. Cast Void Ice every turn and attack using Agidyne. Jack will use two Megidolaons almost every turn. You'll have to heal a lot in order to survive. Just remember to recast Spell Gloom and Dark Mirage when he uses Dekunda. Just watch out for Tentarafoo, it can really mess you up if you don't have Null Panic. Neither approach is easier than the other. You should choose which one to use based upon the skills you have available. //---VI.
