Shin Megami Tensai Nocturne Devil Survivor After the Battle
Lucifer: haha… Belzaboul was doomed
No soul should possess your wisdom, strength, and beauty.
… Go Abel. Belberith will fall before you.
The Scarlet Snake is at your side…
Atsuro: Wh-What the hell was that!?
No one told me there’d be a monster like that!
Amane: The Morning Star, Lucifer…
The one who rebelled against god with the sin of pride…
I never even imagined that he would appear in this world himself…
But… you never cease to amaze me. I cannot believe you were able to claim, victory!
Atsuro: That’s right we beat him!
Okay… Let’s keep this up and beat the unholy crap out of Belberith too!
Lets go Seraph!

Strategies for Victory
Lucifer will not attack as soon as the battle begins, or at all until you attack him, so use these free moves to position your teams in a straight line in front of Lucifer, for counterattacks.
Even if you eliminate all of Lucifer’s health points in stage one or two, he will always keep one. This means you cannot rush him or I would have defeated him in one turn.
Lucifer’s attack range is infinite.
The pierce skill will not defeat physical repel if it is set as a characters skill, it will however defeat the physical drain and buffer skill set. Pierce only works on reflect spells, including all the Automatic Skills that happen when a battle begins.
When you revive a character, their turn icon is forced behind the current teams turn icon.
Used effectively this can give any team infinite turns.
At least one Tyrant class is required in this battle, to counteract Lucifer’s Tyranny skill.
Ignore the demons Lucifer summons; destroy them only during a counterattack. This conserves your turns, and you will need all of them. If you cannot destroy these demons with one or two spells your team is to weak.
Recarm for Infinite turns
You can only perform this technique on stage three.
The team that you decide will do all the attacking must consist of demons, and a team leader that all have agility higher than Lucifer’s. The leader however must have agility higher than Lucifer’s, but lower than the demons on their team. The demons should have the drain skill equipped, and the leader with the Deathbound skill. Do not equip the lead character with a skill set that reduces, absorbs, or reflects physical damage. The demons should use Drain while the leader uses Deathbound. The leader should be the last in battle to attack, just beating out Lucifer. The Deathbound skill will hit Lucifer’s physical repel, and kill the leader. The team that follows them should consist of any two demons equipped with the Prayer, Samarecarm, and Blood Wine skills. The leader should also be equipped with the Prayer and Samarecarm skills. Revive the previous team, pass this teams turn and repeat the process, using the Blood Wine skill to regain magic points as necessary. If done correctly Lucifer should never have another attack.

Shin Megami Tensai Nocturne Devil Survivor Second and third play through revelations
I choose to follow Naoya/Cain during my first play through the game.
I choose to follow Amane during my second play through of the game.
Upon retrospect, I should have done this in reverse.
To unlock Remiel, you must follow Naoya’s route.
To unlock the Metatron, you must follow and defeat Amane’s route in the game.
The Metatron fusion will become available after the credits roll.
To unlock Lucifer, all you must do is defeat him. This fusion becomes available once you create a Metatron angel. You can see Lucifer’s statistics by looking at the demons necessary to fuse Loki.
To unlock Loki, you must follow Amane’s route, and defeat him atop the Diet Building.
To unlock Bishamon, Koumoku, and Zouchou follow any route except Yuzu’s, and defeat each guardian in their respective temple during the final day.
Upon defeating the game for a second time, I decided to improve upon my Lucifer strategy.
Now that I have access to higher-level Tyrant fusions, I decided to try a “Tyrant lock”.
To create a “Tyrant lock”, just put a Tyrant class demon in everyone’s team. The Tyranny auto skill will infinitely push the opponents turns away.
The base strategy consists of the following.
Step 1: Position everyone directly in front of Lucifer.
Step 2: Attack him with the assault team only.
Step 3: Regardless of the damage Lucifer takes, he will begin to summon demons.
This will interrupt the Double up ability.
Step 4: Continue your attack with the assault team.
Step 5: You should have dealt enough damage to Lucifer to cause him to enter state 2.
Step 6: Once Lucifer enters state 2, he will immediately cast Megilodyane.
Step 7: Heal each team and pass their turns until the assault teams turn.
Step 8: Attack him with the assault team; they should be able to cause enough damage in two turns to make Lucifer enter stage 3.
Step 9: If you are using the “Tyrant lock”, just defeat the demons Lucifer summons, then concentrate on him.
If you are using the “Recarm” trick, just look for an opening to initiate it.
After the above revelations I made a few adjustments to my teams to better deal with Lucifer.
I replaced Remiel in team one with the Tyrant Lucifer.
Tyrant: Lucifer Level: 99 Health and Magic Points:
Drain Pierce Tyranny
Deathbound Phys Jump
Samarecarm Phys Repel
I replaced the goddess Amaterasu in team three with the Tyrant Loki.
Tyrant: Loki Level: 99 Health and Magic Points:

Samarecarm Dual Shadow
I replaced Shiva in team four with the Metatron angel.
Divine: Metatron Level: 99 Health and Magic Points:
