Making my way up the Tower of Kagutsuchi in #SMT3. I went through a ton of random encounters on my way to the first boss and after beating him my level was 77, which allowed me to fuse Trumpeter.

I’ve been holding on to Daisoujou for so long since he can drain MP and transfer it to other members of my party, but Trumpeter has a skill that can pretty much replace that so now I can free up a much needed spot in my stock of demons.

I think I am able to fight the second boss now. I assume there is three total and then some sort of mega final boss or something.

This game is great. #ShinMegamiTenseiIII

Update: Just beat the second boss!

I’ve been stuck at the Trumpeter battle in #ShinMegamiTenseiIII for a few days now. The challenge is he fully restores his health on a regular basis so the key is beating him as soon as possible. I spent time this morning curating the best group of demons with the ideal set of skills and managed to win the battle!

Not being able to save anywhere in this game is not only annoying as it introduces long run-backs for battles like this, but finding a save point after the battle was very intense as I kept getting in random encounters where I could get instakilled at any time and have to do the battle all over again!

Luckily I found one and saved and am ready to make steady progress in this game with hopes to finish it in the near future!

After several days of setup, I am now ready to continue my playthroughs of #ShinMegamiTenseiIII and #DragonQuestXI on PC after playing approximately the first halves of both games on Switch.

With #SMT3 I was able to resume from the exact same location thanks to a great set of save files I found. And, using a very handy save file editor, I also have the exact same items, stats, and amount of macca. I do have different demons, along with one extra magatama, and there is some discrepancy regarding menorahs that I haven't figured out yet.

On #DQXI I started a new game and used the Debug Console to warp me to the beginning of Act 2 which is not too far from where I am on Switch. I thought about adding all the items I collected to my new PC save but there are just way too many. I added all the "important items" but I'll do anything else I want on an as-needed basis.

I also got a bunch of awesome mods for both games and will be enjoying the fruits of my labor just as soon as I finish doing taxes!

Alright all you #ShinMegamiTensei fans! 📣

Finished this gem again, this time Remaster. I don't remember Nocturne being this hard. I guess I blocked out all the time spent grinding?

Best ending, btw.
