SMT: Nocturne Hardtype - Eligor (Low Level)
Dis appeared!
Rules:
This is a low level run of zombero's hardtype mod: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3299/
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!
Hardtype changes:
HP: 700 → 1500
XP: 200 → 500
There's a forced encounter with some mooks at the start of this dungeon, which is a good opporunity to get a skill change. I wanted Force Drain which is useful for later skill change shenanigans, but I decided Retaliate was worth keeping and I'd get Force Drain later.
To minimize XP gain from Eligor you must Hama him in the first round before he summons a second demon. This may take a few attempts since he has 50% resistance and dodges a lot. This is also possible in vanilla, but I didn't know that last time I played, which means technically I've still never completed a true minimum XP run of this game despite this being my 4th LL run. I'm fuming.
