Defeat Ouroboros and Tyrant Moloch in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Learn strategies, weaknesses, and rewards.
Walkthrough
- 1First, defeat Ouroboros. Avoid buffing or debuffing to +4 or -4, as Ouroboros uses Silent Prayer to cancel all parameter changes. Her attacks include Mahama (Expel instant death), Wild Thunder (hit-all Elec), a double-hit physical attack, and Disaster Cycle (random status ailments). Aim to defeat her in 6-7 turns.
- 2After the battle, you will be forced out of the boss room. Destroy the 4 energy sources marked on your map; these are encounters with regular enemies with slightly more HP.
- 3You must then fight Ouroboros again. This time, she has 3200 HP and no regeneration, but more attacks including Wave of Death (hit-all Phys). Consider equipping Strong to Phys armor that retains Expel resistance for your Main Character. Use the same buffing strategy as before and focus on Fire skills for Co-Op attacks.
- 4Upon defeating Ouroboros the second time, you will unlock Snake Ouroboros fusion and receive the [Klein Bottle] and [Formless Mass] key items. The main mission Find the Vanishing Point is complete.
- 5Return to the Red Sprite for scenes and dialogue choices with Jimenez. These choices do not seem to affect alignment.
- 6A new main mission, Fornax's Exotic Matter, is added. The Klein Bottle will unlock new Sub Apps: HP Regen II, MP Regen I, and Green Grass.
- 7You can now enter Sector Fornax.
- 8Explore Fornax 1F. Take the east door to find [Balm of Rising x1] and [Amrita Soda x2].
- 9In the west hall, you may find the Demon Futotama. If you completed the EX Mission from Ame no Uzume in Eridanus, he will give you [Tamashiro Mirror].
- 10Continue to find [Soma Drop x1] before reaching a terminal. Save your game.
- 11South of the terminal, you will find a warning about a powerful demon and a secret shortcut door. Ensure you do not have a fire weakness before proceeding.
- 12East of this area, you will encounter Morax, who reveals his true self as Tyrant Moloch. An alignment choice will occur before the fight: "Learn the greatness of demons!" with options for Chaos, Neutral, or Law alignment.
- 13Boss: Tyrant Moloch [HP: 2200 / MP: 9999] [Weak: Ice / Strong: Gun, Elec / Null: Expel, Curse / Resist: Fire].
