Description

After my last video completely ridiculing Luci... I wanted something more. At this point whatever Megaten game it is it is like we both have a rivalry. I know the Nocturne Lucifer fight like the back of my hand so I went back to do something more. Shoutout to @lordraiden1038 and @Doos for being huge inspirations, this is for you guys! ♡

The Mod I used to give the enemies an extra turn was done by Matthiew Purple and is found here: https://gamebanana.com/mods/412716

If for some reason you aren't checking out any of these awesome people you should really consider it, both Raiden and Deus have beaten Lucifer Solo 1 Press Turn so go watch those!

And a big thanks to the PSMT Discord for always supporting me! ♡

I knew this was mathematically possible. Once you setup buffs and debuffs to max at the absolute worst case scenario Lucifer's most damaging attack (his basic attack) does 150 max roll on a crit. This meant with the extra press turn he could deal 900... this is less than 999 meaning I can survive... so my inner masochist wanted to try this. However the issue is phase 2 and 3. Phase 2 he will spam Dekaja, Dekunda and either of those it's basically an instant gameover and Phase 3 he will use his worst move Root Of Evil which can do a multitude of things. 50% 75% 90% of damage. When playing against him with 2 turns this is still lethal... with 3 turns to his name AND the fact specifically on Chronicles Hard Mode RoE has a Dekaja effect the chance of me surviving 1 turn in phase 3 were basically none.

The solution to the phase 2 issue is drain his mp. This will render 90% of his moves unusable and prevent him from removing buffs or debuffs. The problem lies in that he has 65,535mp which is the absolute max the game allows.... Thankfully yes it is not infinite like newer games so by stretching my heal items as much as I can and stalling him out of mp I can safely get to Phase 2 without dying. Now his High King does more than Basic Attack Crit however this does not generate a half action for him and he only seems to use it once a turn so I don't think you can die or it never happened during any attempts of this or my prior completion.

He has 2 moves in Phase 1 that use mp. Megidola and Mabufudyne with Megidola costing slightly higher. Along with these and Mana Drain doing a whopping 22-24 mp steal per use this can take anywhere from 6 to 8 hours depending on how cooperative his AI is. You'll notice a lot of times I actually am slightly in kill range if he were to get 6 crit max rolls but for whatever reason I noticed it is so rare despite his high crit rate, it is better to gamble for extra drains and not waste heal items as I barely had any left even using muscle drinks and having 99 of all of them and if I used them carelessly I would have run out by the end.

Once his mp is drained I can now go on the offensive. I had a calculator tracking his mp roughly, I was off slightly but so I could see how efficient I was with my heals and then used it to keep track of his remaining hp. Like I stated before, Phase 3... Even with 0mp I will still most certainly die if RoE is used. Phase 2 begins at 49835hp left and Phase 3 beginning at 26875hp remaining. In testing a Focus Freikugel Crit would do anywhere between 18900-21200 damage and a regular Freikugel Crit could do around 7,000-8500. (Take these values with a grain of salt but that's a rough estimate from what I've seen). By getting as close to the phase 3 threshold as possible, Focusing Up then doing 2 Freikugel Crits on the same turn I could straight up skip his last phase and the dreaded Root of Gacha. There were 2 issues however, getting a double crit in the first place and even if I got them it was STILL a damage roll on whether it would be enough, as long as one was a high roll the other should be enough. This attempt was actually perfect. My attacks leading upto the final phase put me extremely close. I was scared of over damaging but 1 Megido Rock pushed me within 40 damage of his phase change and then it was just a matter of praying to the Gods it worked. If not the run wasn't over as many prior attempts weren't but RoE removing buffs would make it a race against time if I even survived his first turn and because my defence is neutral and attack is neutral I am also doing less to him so at the point it's just a hail mary or reset. But the Crit Gods were on my side this attempt and now I am finally satisfied that Lucifer has been not just beaten, but destroyed.
