- The final battle all you SMT-fans were waiting for.. LL vs Hitoshura, known as probably the hardest optional boss in RPG history (that does not resort in using absurd cheap attacks or absurd parameter status).
Plus when Hitoshura (SMT: Nocturne Main Character) random battle music is playing, you must realize you are "normal random monsters" in his eyes. Scary...

[ Preparation ]
- I did not use Red Star. While it is a genius method to win (and the fact Pixie pretty much gives off that clue in the whole game), I rather fight him demon to demon. I want to be satisfied I won via the man's game.
- At least three times have my tactic changed, which my last new setup won (on my first attempt too).
[ Tactics ]
- Hito has six demons total (with two out all the time):
Cu Chulainn (loves to debuff)
Girimehkala (debuffs Taunt & nonstop Mamudoon)
Pixie (Megidolaon spam, Red Star Strategy can be used)
Arahabaki (an ass, Red Star Strategy can be used)
Titania (debuffs & nuke)
Parvati (buffs and debuffs)
Every third demon (Pixie & Parvati) he uses Gaea Rage which instant kills unless you avoid it (mentioned more below)
After 30 turns for each demon (dispel buffs isn't counted as turn), it will use Recarmdra which will sacrifice itself to restore HP & MP to their allies. Hence the demon must die before that 30th turn.
Like P3 and P4 battle, when Hito's HP drops half (9000 HP out of 18000 HP), he or his demon will full heal everyone, which only happens once.
- LL's main three keys:
01) Avoid Gaea Rage as long as possible.
This is done by vaguely keeping track of each demon's turns and trying to deal enough damage to Hito before it happens.
02) Always take out both demons at the same time (kill the 3rd & 6th separately).
This is important as this will keep you from getting instant killed by the other demons after Gaea Rage (giving you a round or two to recover before the onslaught continues).
03) Play Defensive as hell but also take risks!
Debuffs will own you, it's that simple. Always dispel debuffs on yourself and your enemies' buffs.
Take some risk in offense too sometimes, the outcome maybe better sometimes (like don't dispel debuffs all the time if you can take advantage of the enemies' tactics).
