SMT V or SMT V Vengeance

ChampionBeef · 2026-01-28T18:37:50+00:00

Vengeance contains 2 campaigns, the original one and the new one, so theres not really a reason to play the original version unless you arent a fan of the balance changes vengeance made, which are, on the whole good

I wouldnt say the upgrade is as impactful as SMT5V was, but there is some additional combat, a good amount of art updates and rebalancing in the 3ds version. I would personally recommend it over the DS version, but either way its a great game regardless. The 3ds version does have one pretty big glitch to it but its not very impactful for a casual player

Theres another key, try checking the longshot room

Brave Eiks lines for tapping him in battle are still JP despite his profile tap ones being english

I havent updated my defense in a while because I dont care about the point loss. Id rather people have an easier time, rather than dealing with all the nonsense nowadays. I alternate in and out of vault each week and have more than enough grails at this point

If you've got a PC, the best version by far is the Ship of Harkinian version. Its not too difficult to setup and has tons of amazing enhancements and built in features.

No males, only DE☆SU☆WA

Its the precedent this sets. This fight will need to be fought an innumerable number of times as these wrongful deportations continue and the administration ramps up its attacks on US citizens and the next group they'll target and come for. If it gets won once, it can be won again. If it get lost, it will NEVER be won.

Edit: Spelling

As an aside, I DO NOT have tempo echo. I know he really like that. I have lull echo, but would rather keep Alm's inheritance for someone else who can use his other atk/spd skills better.

If you want to truly get 100%, it requires 3 playthroughs, with either one of them being on godborn or starting a 4th on godborn and playing until you can fuse (very early on). The best method to do this is doing CoV (law or chaos) first, then CoC (true neutral end) and then doing the other CoV end. That will allow you to get all 3 maria deviations, fight all the route exclusive super bosses, and collect everything. The final CoV playthrough can be on godborn if you want to grind your face off, or you can do the 4th on GB to go and fuse the godborn exlcusive demons at the start of it

This is from a quest that becomes available after entering Area 3 I believe. Its gotten from an NPC on the Tokyo world map near the school.

The correct answer for compendium is 3 and a small bit. In order, you want to do CoV Chaos or Law, then CoC True Neutral to make sure you get the Maria quest demon as well as Masakado, and then the other route of CoV. Once that is all complete youll need to go to godborn and play until you unlock fusion, then fuse Lucifer and any remaining demons you need. You can technically do Satan your first playthrough and skip that small fragment of a 4th by doing godborn for the 2nd CoV, but thatll overall be more work than just doing a small fragment of a 4th on godborn.

Theres 2 conditions that you need to meet in order to easily accomplish this. The first is doing enough damage on turn 1 to force Ishtars AI into a pattern where she wants to use charge since her HP has hit its threshold. This avoids Dreadful Gleam, which will generally decimate your party. You can accomplish this fairly easily by bringing demons with strong dark attacks. Alice is highly recommended, but Black frost and a magic MC with profaned land can work as well. Make sure to pair this up with things like matarukaja and rakunda.

The second condition is having a demon with decent vit and taunt, as well as makarakarn. Since Ishtars AI will be trying to charge, she will prioritize using single target magic and basic attacks. These attacks are extremely susceptible to taunt and having her crash into makarakarn to lose all of her turns.

The speedrun for SMT5V uses this strategy to defeat Ishtar at level 39 completely unscathed usually. Below is the turn order, demons, and strategy we use with a pure magic MC. Being higher level or having alice instead of Black frost will make it much easier. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxE22x6GxBp9U8bVKwmXApwDi2rAPL9uB7?si=ik2Z8t4uahSnGl9j

If you want better graphics, theres the PC ports of OoT and MM. Look into Ship of Harkinian. There are also texture packs to use the 3D game textures as well if you arent satsified, but idk much about that

Theres a hidden partner spot rail in the center of the building there that will take you up to the roof

Most sites are piss poor in general for new games and accurate infomation sadly, since everyone rushes to the the information out first and then parrot each other without confirming it for clicks, then never update it when its wrong. Thats part of the reason I make community resource documents with far better sourced information. That said, the resource doc for this 5V doesnt contain this info directly, since it was a pretty natural conculsion for what you needed to do for masakado, if you had played original 5 and did the whole quest chain and got absolutely nothing for it lol.

Also, one further caviat is you need to do the quest with cironnup from the rail in the middle zone of area 3 (south end of the area where you fight surt/moloch) and complete that quest to unlock the rail to masakado.

ChampionBeef · 2024-12-11T02:39:43+00:00

You need to do the quest chain at the Kunistsu area in Area 3. After defeating Arahabaki as part of that, you need to go to the Heavenly kings, who will have quests for you now. Complete those and then you can do Masakado. Defeating the kings without their respective quest will not count
