* DemonicSpiders: The Pistachio and Dragon Killer enemies in the Final Chapter. Both are resistant to all physical attacks and completely immune to all elemental attacks and have a huge amount of defense alongside a high dodge rate. Pistachios don't attack, but counter everything with "Hellish Fragrance", which hits the entire field and inflicts random status ailments on the party, often knocking them out for a few turns. The latter is often the "controller" of the Pistachios and has fewer hit points, but defeating it to eliminate the underlings will make you lose your chance of getting Power Parts for Cube, and it may use Steel Titan's "Marduk's Rage" to bring your party members down.

** Oboromaru's chapter is the hardest of the initial seven, especially for players who play the game in chronological order and choose it as their second or third. It's the longest chapter and the most complex, revolving around a massive castle maze with trap-filled attics that kick you back to the dungeon, groups of enemies to be snuck around (and enemies disguising themselves as normal [=NPCs=]), and a password-swapping gimmick that's hard to keep track of in the original version. Oboro is alone for most of the chapter, and while he's not weak, his reliance on tile hazards and lack of good ailments leaves him struggling on a lot of fights. Attempting a PacifistRun and/or going after the two {{superboss}}es heightens the difficulty even more; the ways to avoid certain scripted encounters are hidden well and not all fights can be escaped from, there's only a couple respawning non-human enemies to grind levels on, and one optional party member who could help with the superbosses can easily get permanently destroyed while backtracking to them.
** Akira's chapter, while not terribly hard to finish, usually wears out its welcome over time. Akira is the weakest of the player characters to start off (the remake buffs his stats and lessens his number of charged moves, but the power gap is still visible), and most fights require him to kill enemy commanders as fast as possible before he gets hit too much. Taro and Matsu help a lot when they join, but the chapter dungeon can still be rough regardless if they aren't equipped the best. Besides that, progression in the chapter sometimes gets confusing due to odd event flags and plenty of backtracking across the overworld. Thankfully, the ending of the chapter is a breather, and the coolness factor somewhat makes up for the shortcomings of the first portion.

** The Muramasa in the Twilight of Edo Japan chapter. This requires fighting one of two [[{{Superboss}} superbosses]], being Majin Ryuunosuke. While the fight itself can be quite hard given that Majin Ryuunosuke is a superboss, ''finding'' him is hard enough as it requires walking in a specific manner in the Path of Shuttered Lanterns to find the room where the Muramasa is. Like with the Basic Rock in Pogo's chapter, the method is tedious but doable, the catch is that there is absolutely no indication in the game that hints on ''knowing'' this method in the first place. The remake provides some tips about the Path of Shuttered Lanterns but otherwise is still cryptic in the hint.
** If you want to finish the Captain Square Minigame, chances are that you're going to loathe the Uranus level. The majority of the stage is taken by square enemies that cast Electric Caress, which does damage and electrifies the panels it hits. The issue with this? ''Every enemy in this stage is healed by electric panels''. And even if you know that Spacephage is the best method to kill them, it's still a long and tedious method, since it requires you to be at specific angles. And the thing is that you HAVE to clear as many as you can if you want to defeat El-Mirage, which is the enemy that actually matters. Only two things can damage it and one is an attack that takes an ungodly ammount of time to charge and El-Mirage can easily interrupt it. And you need to hit twice. Your only real option is using Supernova and baiting the enemy into a fire panel. That's why you need to get rid of as many of his mooks as possible, or else they will turn the panels into electricity once more.
