Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux (3DS 2017) (No Commentary) [Part 16]
0Before resuming the new sector, we are able to continue in the Womb of Grief and in doing so, learn lore about Alex, the mysterious woman who seems hellbent on taking us, along with Jimenez and Zelenin out. Along with that we fight this floors boss and a surprise second boss afterwards.
We also fight one of the five optional mini-bosses that become available at arriving floor 4, the Wardens. They are high-level demons that the game tells you to not fight if you can't win, allowing you to escape with 100% chance. If you do win, you'll unlock them for fusing and gain a bunch of EXP along with the ability to fight the next in line, once you find them.

Taken from the original wiki, as Redux lacks one:
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is a role-playing video game developed by Atlus and Lancarse for the Nintendo DS. The game is the sixth entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series, which forms the core of the Megami Tensei franchise. It was released in Japan in 2009, and in North America in 2010. An enhanced port for the Nintendo 3DS, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, was released in Japan in 2017, and was released internationally in 2018 by Atlus in North America and Deep Silver in Europe.
The story follows a special task force sent by the United Nations to investigate the Schwarzwelt, a spatial distortion that appears in Antarctica and threatens to engulf the world. Players take control of an unnamed protagonist, navigating the environments of the Schwarzwelt in first-person. Combat involves the player and recruited demons fighting against various enemies, with the protagonist having the option of talking with and recruiting enemies. Depending on choices taken in the story, multiple endings are unlocked. Strange Journey Redux adds an additional character and story route.
The game originated from the team's wish to develop a large-scale role-playing game for the DS. Many of the main staff had worked on previous Megami Tensei titles in some capacity, including producer and designer Kazuma Kaneko, director Eiji Ishida, writer Shogo Isogai, and composer Shoji Meguro. The setting in Antarctica was chosen to appeal to an overseas audience. Alongside the new setting, the game featured multiple science fiction elements new to the series, taking inspiration from films such as Damnation Alley and The Thing. For the music, Meguro used grander musical styles than his previous works, incorporating choir music using a special synthesizer. Reception of the game was generally positive for its story and gameplay, but many disliked its first-person navigation.
