- Now with 80% less cheese!

Rules:
This is a low level run of zombero's hardtype mod: www.romhacking...
The aim is to keep XP gain as low as possible without affecting my sanity.
Hard mode, obviously
No stat boosting items
All other game mechanics are fair game!
We jump quite far ahead in this part. Kalpa 1 had all the FKE's for the next few dungeons so we already dealt with everything up to Kalpa 2. With 10 more levels and all the extra options that brings this is nowhere near as dicey as the previous part.
SECOND KALPA
Hell Biker (0:18) - Not too bad compared to FKE Matador. It's just like fighting a version of boss Hell Biker that starts at half HP, gets one less press turn and doesn't have Dekunda. He's much less threatening with War Cry and Fog Breath stacks so we can quite easily pummel him with the exact same team.
Daisoujou (4:30) - Again not bad as long he doesn't immediately snipe you with instakills. Thankfully everything here was built with Void Mind for the Mizuchi boss fight. Daisoujou doesn't resist everything like his boss variant so this is less of a drag. It's worth noting that I only found him in the cursed hallway so it took a little manipulation with the battle radar to start out on full HP.
Shadow (9:29) - Kinda scary together since they can spam buffs, Mahama Rocks quickly take them out though and one on its own is easily dealt with.
Shiki-Ouji (12:26) - Easy as hell as long as you have some fire spells, I think this mostly exists to catch you unawares with cheap instakills :(
Hresvelgr (14:29) - Ah, gotta love these ludicrously overlevelled encounters. You could actually find these here in vanilla too, but of course now they're on steroids. Iron Claw in the opening round will OHKO anything, so hope for spells. He doesn't have Unshaken Will so it's easy to land a stun, which should buy you enough time to set up and roast the birdie.
IKEBUKURO TUNNEL
Sarasvati (16:53) - Lol. This one is almost bullying since all she does is spam force spells and our teams were already built for Fuu-Ki. There was a glitch where she can get stuck casting Dragon Eye repeatedly and you're forced to reset - not sure if that was fixed in an update though.
MAP #4
Suzaku/Feng Huang (18:17) - This one's a runner like Makami, but this time it's not too unreasonable to take him out before he flees. We've got to be quick though. Carry plenty of elemental protection to interrupt his turns. I had literally no ice attackers (Genbu didn't learn Bufula yet) so aimed for a round 3 kill with focussed physicals. You could probably manage round 2 with ice spells, looking at how quickly Sarasvati went down.
ASAKUSA
Valkyrie (20:10) - This one's kinda tricky. She hits like a truck and summons Titans on a whim. I found it best to leave one alive on low HP, otherwise she just keeps summoning more. She doesn't cast Startle when they're present and is hopefully distracted with healing.
OBELISK
Kurama (23:49) - Ah yes, DUMMY man. What can I say? Another force user, another lol. The only threat is Mahama from the Karasu. You can mute them or throw Tetraja Stones.

I can't be the only one who kinda wished Daisoujou and Hell Biker teamed up.
preach and hell burner at the same time, don't get me started
Rad skeles team up I’ll take it
@@TrueCobalion you mean "startled", amirite?
@@karotconcarne3325 amirita, amirite?
Episode 3? What next, Episode 4?
Daisoujou shows up in cursed hallway. A free encounter, basically. Compared to the actual level like 65 encounters in there
Well, as long as he doesn't immediately snipe you with insta-kills or simply because you're on low HP from the curse damage. But assuming you survive that initial turn then yeah, you save yourself a Smoke Ball :P
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe well, not for you because youre on low level XD but if you come here before fighting flyboi, daisoujou is definitely less scary.
Can confirm, the Sarasvati Dragon Eye loop can still happen on the most recent version of Hardtype.
Any ideas what triggers it?
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe I've seen it happen multiple times, but I haven't really seen much to indicate why. Could be interesting to look into if I have a couple hours to kill today
If you have a demon weak to force, sarasvati loops into dragon eye
i thought it was intentional tbh
I can't believe that Zombero went out of his way to make a FKE exclusive to the Cursed Corridor, an area already designed specifically to give you a Game Over. Speaking of which, I still don't understand how it's possible to get the 250,000 macca in Hardtype without a properly fuctioning Estoma. Unless you go out of your way to farm Smoke Balls, chances are you won't have enough to make it to the end assuming you never get ambushed.
Hey bucketgetter, Quick question: Who are the best demons in smt iv and apocalypse respectively?
Not really a quick question at all.
SMT IV is really screwed up because of how bad the stat distributions are and how easy it is to pass skills down, so all that really matters are resistances and innate skills.
Dantalian has great elemental resistances and gets both Tetrakarn and Makarakarn...by level 34. Both of which are skills that destroy the game.
Thoth has good elemental resistances but really I’m just mentioning him because he gets Doping at level 33, which is also really ridiculous.
Ouroboros has great resistances all around and learns Null Nerve and Null Mind.
Alice is like Ouroboros but better in most respects. Innately nulls all ailments, great resistances, and gets Debilitate at level 51.
Rangda repels physical and gun and also has Debilitate and Endure.
All of those might not work well for some battles since most of them have low HP, but they’ll never be bad even if you don’t pass down other skills to them and they’ll be great choices for a lot of battles.
In Apocalypse, they did a much better job with balancing stat distribution, resistances, and not providing broken skills early. With the addition of affinities, it’s a lot harder to pick demons that are objectively superior since a lot of demons have niche roles that they perform better than others in a particular level range. Unlike other games, nothing’s really going to carry you through the game.
The ones that stand out most to me are Alice again and Ukano Mitama. Alice still nulls all ailments and has amazing offensive capabilities with Dye for Me!, +5 dark affinity, High Dark Pleroma, and good stats. Ukano Mitama is amazing for a support demon with ridiculous HP and MP, Mediarama with High Healing Pleroma and +3 healing, and Healing Knowhow. At the endgame there are demons that obviously fill their role much better than other demons like Shiva, Inanna, and Krishna when excluding fiends and DLC but that’s at the end of the game anyway.
@@Bucketgetter endgame DLC cleopatra
@@Bucketgetter dye for me lmao
So you can run into fiends in the kalpas in this mod? Well shit.
only at full Kagestuchi and you have to have already beaten them in main story fights
@@dracula103192 "and you have to have already beaten them in main story fights"
Although this is true in general (usually you have to beat a fiend in order to unlock the kalpa that contains them) there is one exception. Defeating Pale Rider is not a requirement to unlocking the 3rd kalpa, but he appears there anyway. Little tidbit for ya.
@@JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe well shit. I figured it was a mere they wouldnt show up in kalpas til their defeat in the other areas first.
using shiisaa for anything other than dog breath is sacrilege
Sometimes he didn’t even dip
May Satan forgive me
when will Atlus make Super Paper Nocturne
I was totally hoping Parivarti would do the dragon eye spam until they run out of MP
I question the some farts part of the description.
But great job regardless lol
If you have a better explanation for what Shadow and other Foul demons are I'd like to hear it
Until then they are fart clouds. Canon.
Will dynamic sheep appear next episode
was shiki changed to FKE only? because in vanilla he appears as a normal enemy in the second kalpa. i remember because he killed me twice with mahamaon (i still love him though)
I think so. Same with hresvelgr. Although they also show up as regular enemies later on in the game
I'm pretty sure Shiki still appears normally later o (I swear I remember owning them with Prominence but not one-hitting each one)
@@steam-powereddolphin5449 yes they appear in asakusa after the invasion and in mifunashiro
i love hell bikers english voice in the remaster
So Jim, Who are the best demons in hardtype?
Most of the endgame stuff that's good in vanilla is still good in hardtype (Surt, Beelzebub, Metatron etc) ...Thor is now one of the best demons in the game for sure. Niflheim makes Skadi top tier. Black Rider is meant to be god-like - makes a great Prayerbot with his natural ailment immunity and Soul Divide destroys random encounters with their beefy HP pools. And of course anything that regularly appeared in my run is still great - get yourself an Anti-Force Choronzon early on, and upgrade to an Anti-everything Arahabaki later on ;) Wu Kong is still top tier too.
Could I fight the reasons bosses in kalpa?
Not as FKEs, but in the graveyards as with vanilla yes.
Low level Paper Mario playthrough?
Someone's already done one of TTYD, at least. However, they did exploit glitches to skip some fights that are otherwise mandatory and consequently end up at a lower level.
Stryder7x did it already at permanent level 1
Hey guys I wanna do a Jack only run is their any other jacks in the game except black frost and pyro jack and jack frost obviously

I tried this run on hardtype and it was hell! Finally quit at Girimekhala with about 150 hours ...
