Tips
- For the Moloch/Morax fight, use Ice attacks for Co-Ops if using same-aligned demons. Moloch has Maragidyne instead of Maragi. Ensure the main character is not weak to Fire. Buff to +4 with Luster Candy, debuff his attack, and attack. Use Me Patra Stones for the fear effect from Gehenna.
- For Fallen Mithras, use Wind attacks or Co-Ops. Abuse parameter buffing and attack.
- For Horkos, Fire spells are effective.
- When navigating dark areas, pay close attention to directional cues and tile counts.
- Save frequently, especially before boss fights and after using terminals.
