Endurance Run

Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 144

Just a heads up everybody, anything named "Deathbound" is probably bad news.

Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

Sep. 3 2009

Cast: Jeff, Vinny

Hey guys, I was thinking about how you have Chie set up.
 
You gave her the Icicle Vow (or whatever it's called) to boost her ice.  Her ice is useless to you at this point; it doesn't do enough damage for it to matter.  The only thing you need it for is to knock down enemies who are weak to ice.  If you give her the demon shoes, you can swap out the Icicle Vow for something with better defense to balance out losing the evade phys.  Alternatively, you could give her an accessory that boosts her attack even more and turn her into a paper tiger.  Doesn't she have more HP than the rest of the party anyway?

So the wait begins. ^_^ I wonder whether anything will wipe them again at some point. Eh, they seem to be doing pretty well for now.

I fucking hate Deathbound. The last 3 times I went into the Persona 3 'dungeon', one particular Shadow (can't remember which) would cast Deathbound. No matter what Persona I had, it would get two critical hits on ME every time, killing me instantly. Fucking infuriating to go through the same levels and the same dungeon 4 times.
 
EDIT: Jeff's comment at 6:24 is intriguing - P5 should totally have double-property attacks/skills. It still bothers me that my mighty Odin Hammer from P3 does only Electric attacks, and not bash attacks as well.

Garuda's fast, making it a good starting persona, as you can often go first in any given fight, and switch as necessary. However, whenever those spinning ghost guys appear, always equip something with death protection (Trumpeter is perfect, being immune to both, as well as strong against ice and lightning).

They are a little frightening at first.  But be brave. . .you can handle the great responsibility of staring into her eyes and not her chest.  Be strong and fight the urge.

Heh, since Persona already is quite difficult at times with all the mixed attacks in fights this would make it even more hellish. Perhaps a nice thought for the 'hard'-mode they always put in it. Might be a bit too overwhelming at some bosses for normal play.

Heh, the early death reminded me of the thing I hate most about dying in RPG's.
Not the dying itself, but the fact that the game just starts up again, going through the intro etc. 
Would be a lot nicer to just have a quickload to your last savepoint :)

As soon as you hit 72 fuse Belial and Nebiros to create Alice. She is the only Persona that can learn Die for Me which instantly kills every enemy in a battle with near 100% odds. After you have if you pretty much only have to worry about bosses and your SP.

The reason you level Chie up is because once you get God Hand this song replaces the standard battle music.

That was one crazy fight in the middle there - where all kinds of repelling and dying was going on while you didn't even have a turn.
 
In response about the wind amp stacking - the guy from yesterday in the comments was saying that wind amp, wind boost and then the wind power enhancing ring don't all stack together.  I know people have said wind amp and wind boost stack loads of times but maybe it can't stack those and the ring (don't know - just going on what others have said)?  In related news it looks like Vinny's reading the comments again if he saw that, unless someone PMed him as well.
 
Also, this Die for Me spell: is it the final thing Alice learns?  Because if so, they are unlikely to reach it since they're only rank 3 in the Death s.link.

Sukukaja is Hit/Evasion I think.  So its technically both offense and defense (you hit them more often, you evade their attacks more often)
 
Also the fusion you almost did that had Auto-Matarukukaja- that would be Tarukukaja (Attack up) on the whole party for the first 3 turns.... Pretty useful for moving through a dungeon.

You can only unlock Alice when your Death Social Link has been maxed. But yes, Die For Me is her final spell.
