Part 48

Defeat Mother Mem Aleph and Empty Mem Aleph in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Includes strategy for the final boss and Meta Gore.

Boss: Mother Mem Aleph

[ HP: 7300 / MP: 9999 ]

Resistances: Nullifies Gun, Expel, Curse.

Mother Mem Aleph uses hit-all elemental spells, Asura's "Asura Roga", Ouroboros' ailment skill "Disaster Cycle", "Mother's Kiss" (a 6-8 hit physical skill), and "Reason's Start" which removes all buffs and debuffs and heals her for around 600 HP. "Great Flood" damages all party members and lowers Agility.

Strategy: Focus on high damage output and healing. Buff/debuff spells are less effective due to "Reason's Start". Spam your demons' strongest spells, such as Jihad or high-tier elemental/almighty skills.

Equip your Main Character with the best armor, preferably the Dragon Vest from the Fafnir EX mission, and the Dragon Ring accessory for a one-time revival.

Boss: Empty Mem Aleph

[ HP: 9000 / MP: 9999 ]

Resistances: Changes each turn. Examples include: Weak to Phys, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Elec, Wind; Weak to Gun, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Phys, Wind; Weak to Fire, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Phys, Gun; Weak to Ice, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Gun, Fire; Weak to Elec, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Fire, Ice; Weak to Wind, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Ice, Elec.

Empty Mem Aleph uses the same skills as Mother Mem Aleph, plus "Mem Aleph" which returns demons of a randomly chosen alignment to your stock, and "MA" which deals damage equal to the target's current HP and heals Mem Aleph. The Dragon Ring is crucial for surviving "MA".

Strategy: Use the Gibo Eyes Sub App to identify effective attacks against the changing resistances. Maintain the same strategy as the previous fight, focusing on strong attacks and healing. If "Mem Aleph" is used, recall or summon demons, or use skills like Sabbatma or Invitation. Use restoration items judiciously.

Boss: Meta Gore (Chaos Path Only)

[ HP: 15000 / MP: 9999 ]

Resistances: Weak to Wind, Nullifies Expel, Curse, Resists Phys, Gun.

Meta Gore uses Physical and Gun attacks. His skills include "Self-Denial" (heals and casts Tarukaja), "Charge" (powers up next physical attack), "Heaven Strike" (multiple random physical hits), "E.N.D." (random physical damage with Fear chance), "Adaptation" (powerful physical attack, often targets MC), "Gore is bursting with power!" (heals 7500 HP and clears debuffs), and "Rain Strike" (heavy random gun damage).

Strategy: A team strong against Phys and/or Gun is recommended. Exploit his Wind weakness. Be prepared for "Adaptation" and "Gore is bursting with power!".
