- Use them on enemies until level 9 - they don’t work on Ghouls and Sudama.

Now there’s two options:
More Fusions, More Recruitments (Option 1)

Go to South Section B1F through the Underground, recruit an Angel (14). Jack Lantern/Jack Frost also spawn here.
Walk to the fusion mansion in the underground, fuse:
- Kinnari x Ihika = Hag
OR
Harder Recruitments (Option 2)
Transfer to the Underground and walk to South Section, recruit an Angel (14), Hag (15) and a Jack Lantern (9?) / Jack Frost (8?). You can kill some enemies for EXP or money here by buying some ノロイの木馬 from the Gaia close by. Most enemies are probably not so worth it to kill - except for Gagison as he drops decent money. You can escape from the encounters of this area.
After getting all the recruits, walk back to Underground B2F and transfer to South Section and walk back to the shop in B4F. Buy more ノロイの木馬, a Megidola Stone and grind levels and money until you can buy (in this order):
- SPAS-12 on Hero (12000 macca)
- 神経弾 Bullets (1800 macca) on Hero
- 2x 5800 gloves for each character
Summon Hag and Angel to help you in the fights. Hero and Heroine throw the items, Hag uses Mudo. Angel uses Hama if its a reasonable number of Lilims, most other enemies resist Hama. Once you have the gun, you can shoot everything down.
Fights:
- Multiple Ocypete/Gaian - Megidola Stones
- Lilim - Hama or Run Away
- Others - ノロイの木馬/Mudo
Once you hit level 18, recruit a Ocypete!
Once you’ve bought everything, walk back to the terminal.
Head to the Colosseum, fight round 2 by autoing sword - make sure you equipped the Rocket Hammer.

(Option 1) Fuse:
- Pixie x Jack Lantern = Aquanz
- Aquanz x Ocypete = Celeano
(Option 2) Alternatively, if you really couldn’t find an Ocyupete or Jack Lantern, recruit a Celeano once you’re level 22.
Head to B2F and walk to the door to the West Section.

Go to the Shop and buy:
- 5~10 Smoke Bombs
Go to colosseum.
Pick up items -> this is referencing the location of the items in SMT2, if you haven’t played/run SMT2 this will make no sense -> (2nd, 5th Slicer, Desert Eagle) <- and fight Adonis:
- AUTO
You can sell some items now to afford some smoke bombs. Really make sure to have a handful.
Virtuals 5. Be careful with some encounters, go for Gun + Trafuri by default. 6x Jin use a smoke bomb and Oyamatsumi resists Gun so if he shows up after a door, you’re basically stuck if you’re out of Hikobaris.
Be careful to not let Celeano die too early because if you’re chaos you won’t be able to resummon it. If he dies, just fight the encounters and try to run away when possible. Dangerous fights use a smoke bomb.
If he runs out of MP, use a Soma. Don’t let him get under 30 MP, this is extremely important for the last boss fight.
Fight Tarrasque:
- Sword, Zionga
Go to Colosseum. Pick up items (1st and 4th) and fight Okamoto:

Center B10F

Center B11F
Use Amulet.

Center B12F
Use Amulet.

Grab Hangonkou and Soma.
Summon Knocker.
Fight Metatron (3000HP):
- Sword, Use Necroma Item on Celeano, try to Tarukaja with Knocker
- Sword, Diarama and Rakunda (4x). But react accordingly with the Diarama, especially if a strong attack comes out, you dont want Ain or the Hero to die.
- If health is good, use Necroma Item on Knocker, keep 1x Tarukaja up at all times. Metatron doesn’t have Dekunda but he has Dekaja, so if he uses Dekaja set up Tarukaja again.
- Rest of the fight is taking turns healing Ain or the Hero with Diarama, trying to attack with Sword every turn and if HP is up because he used Dekaja/Mahama/Marin Karin then use a Megidola Stone or Hamaya.
- In a very dangerous situation, like he just used Megidoalon and both are low HP, use Soma with Hero on Ain and try to heal Hero with Diarama. At this level (30-32 iirc) we should outspeed Metatron
- If the Hero dies, you can revive him with the Hangonkou we get on the 12th floor but only once.
