BOSS: JASHIN MADA

Learn how to beat the annoying Jashin Mada boss in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster. Get tips on his weaknesses, skills, and the best party setup to overcome his status effects and attacks.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• HP: 2500
• MP: 750
• Affinity: Absorbs Physical, Boss Immunities
• Resistances: None specifically mentioned, but fire attacks are effective.

Skills:

• Grand Inebriation
• Meikai-Ha
• Agidain
• Randomizer
• De-Kunda
• Summon Pazuzu
• Beast's Eye

Strategy:

• Jashin Mada's biggest threat isn't his direct damage, but his ability to inflict status ailments that can cost you valuable resources.
• Grand Inebriation is his signature move, acting like a super-powered Tentarafu. It inflicts Panic on your party, causing them to waste turns and, more critically, throw away money. Since your party is likely high-level, this can be a significant loss.
• Randomizer can also mess with your buffs and debuffs, so having a demon that can cast De-Kunda to clear them off is highly recommended.
• To counter these status effects, bring demons that are immune to ailments. If you don't have full immunity, having at least one demon with Me-Patra can help cure confusion.
• Consider equipping your Hero with the Muspel Magatama and using Iwakura Water to keep your party's status effects in check.
• Mada is surprisingly not resistant to fire, so feel free to exploit this weakness with Agidain or other fire-based skills.
• Despite his intimidating presence and annoying tactics, Mada's low HP means he can be defeated relatively quickly once you manage his status-inflicting abilities. Focus on keeping your party lucid and attacking with fire, and you'll overcome this frustrating encounter.
