Been a while since I played so the only advice I can really offer you is use Doping and fuse pleroma centric demons.

Don't have anyone with doping. So that's a problem.

Man. I just got done with a buttload of fusions too. Not I gotta fuse new guys.

Well, I do think I have demons that null Phys as well, and I'm already using dudes who No-Sell Ice in some way.

Does he have any weaknesses I can exploit?

yeah a lot of bosses, including astaroth, go mental if you protect against their attacks. you wanna make sure you leave at least one of his elements open to hurt you, cuz otherwise he will just spam almighty.

For big bad Beelzebub in IV I would say get someone who can use healing, someone who can block physical, and someone who is immune to sickness. Also try fusing someone who can use Doping like a previous user suggested.

So apparently one of Amon's demonic powers is reconciling feuds between friends. Hrm.

Blocking via spell, or via natural ability?

Hmm. So should I not use any demons who Null, Repel or Absorb certain attacks, or should I just use a few and hope I can tank it so that I can reduce the amount of damage he does?

I do remember being told there were demons like that (who punish you for blocking their attacks in anyway) so I'm wondering if it's worth it, or if I should just use dudes who only resist?

It really sucks he has no weaknesses too. If I could get a few extra turns, it would be a bit easier.

[up]Resisting their attacks should be fine (I think Fiends were okay with resisting their attacks, at least).

Their attacks need to hit at least one active person- Resistance doesn't prevent hits, so three null-repel-absorb members and one resistor is optimal.

I sure said that!

Got it.

I think I know who the resistor should be. Now I just need to figure things out.

I think I'll stop the quest for now and re-gather my cash. I spent a lot on a Fusion spree earlier, and now I'm a little low. I don't want to run out.

Fortunately, I can do that Money making DLC quest.

So Amon's reconciliation powers might possibly maybe speculatively let you save Zelenin and Jimenez and I have absolutely no idea how I feel about that. Those two seriously deserve some happiness but on the other hand SJ Neutral is my favorite ending in the series and I'd kind of hate to see it reduced to a runner-up.

Inb 4 the Chaos demon only reconciles with Jimenez and Zelenin still dies because fuck the Law!

I hope this time around they actually explain where Jack's Squad came from and where they got their tech.

[up] It was briefly touched on in the game - they apparently work for one of the corporations that helped develop the Demonica tech, and were allowed to keep the prototypes, which, per standard in fiction, are way better than the production model.

Pity Zelenin and Jimenez were never friends.

I want a route where you can save Arthur.

When you go Chaos you shake hands with Jimenez as proof of your friendship at least. Such camradarie is uneeded in a world of Law. Just listen to YHVH's Greatest Hits instead.

I really want to kick Mastema's teeth down his throat on Neutral. I'd even accept it being immediately after Zelenin a la Maitreya, though it'd probably be painful.

That's unfair. I'm sure Zelenin'd shake your hand if she wasn't a statue.
