I got really REALLY close (by means I got him half way down in life) My party was Akihiko (might have been a bad idea sense death kept hitting his weakness every 3 seconds!) Junpei and Aigis. I had Junpei buffing and myself on heal/de-buffing death aking junpei off buffing when I was tapped off, same with Aigis, we were doing pretty boss until I ran out of SP and tried to tap off, which meant I couldn't heal (i didn't have the SP to do so) and boom, dead.
 
I was a little dissapointed but I'm pretty damn proud of myself for getting him that far on a crackpot of a try. (I decided to go for it because well... i was bored XD) I had no real plan of action, but I figured I'd ask what tactic did you use to defeat him.
 
I'm Lvl 92 right now Party is high 80's (near 90 this means everyone) when i fought death I was 80 and party was high 70's. I figure I could grind it out in monad (which i am doing) and try again to get that bloody button and feel like a champ XD...
 
Anyway.. no more rambling, what tactic did you use?
 
OH and I have Susano-O (which I used pretty much for the whole fight)

Thunder reign to make him dizzy, then 2 standard attacks, then do nothing.
 
Rinse and repeat!

You know, that seems to be the tactic everyone is fond of. Isn't it Ares who has it? "

If I remember correctly. Death isn't that hard, I just cheesed him to get into the underground area for fast levels "

I think Odin had it too, which is what i used to beat him. Or at least he did in P3 FES. "

Run like a bitch? Actually I don't remember the tactic I used.

Well.. I beat death! 2 mins flat without using much other than having Aigis buff the party and me de-buff death everything else was just normal attacks.

Congrats! My strategy was to watch a youtube video and run like fuck whenever Mitsuru/Fuuka sensed death was near. Haven't encountered him in P3P yet, but that's only because I know better than to even try taking him on. "

Armageddon. Cheap I know, but it was NG+.... I was just testing it out.

Death scares the crap out of me.
The sound of those chains rattling *shudder*

" @Catolf: That's because it's actually based on how long you stay on any one particular floor. It's kind of a way to keep you from staying on one floor and grinding forever.  And yeah, I've totally forgotten to pause the game a number of times, only to come back just in time for the "death is near" line. Then it becomes a survival-horror game as I make for the nearest exit before he can reach me.   Ah, video games where a mini-boss is infinitely more powerful than the game's final boss... "
