Early on in December, you’ll have to make some key decisions to get access to Adachi’s dungeon, and bring him to justice. In order to get access, and to accuse Adachi, you’ll need to do a few things first:
- Firstly, don’t throw Namatame into the TV. On December 3rd, say the following options:
- “Wait a second here…”
- “We're missing something.”
- “Namatame's true feelings.”
- “Something's bothering me.”
- “We're missing something…”
- “Calm the hell down!”
- Then, on December 5th, when it gives you the option, accuse Adachi.
Magatsu Inaba is an interesting dungeon. When you get to the second floor, you’ll come across a door that’s sealed, that you won't be able to open. To open it you need to drop down the hole in the middle of the map, which takes you to Magatsu Mandala World. In that offshoot of a dungeon you’ll have to beat 2 bosses: one on the 3rd floor (use party attack buffs to be able to clear the floor in one turn); and one on the 6th floor.
Quick note: on the 3rd floor, make sure you’re not seen by a shadow (i.e. get into a fight), because if you are Adachi will boot you out the dungeon and you’ll have to go through all the Magatsu Mandala levels again to get back to the 3rd floor.
Once you’ve beaten both bosses, you can then return to the Magatsu Inaba’s 2F door, giving you access to the Adachi fight.
Adachi is incredibly simple. Just debuff his defence with Rakunda, and then go to town on him, with Yukiko healing periodically. Use Chie to buff with Tarukaja too. Chie using Power Charge and then God’s Hand is very handy here as well.
In terms of moves Adachi will use: Heat Riser (use Purifying Water on him to counteract); Mudoon; Evil Smile (use Yukiko’s Salvation to cure the party); Maziodyne and Vorpal Blade (and a few more). It’s actually a really easy fight, especially if your party is around level 75/76, which they should be at this point. That’s not it though…
Ameno-sagiri is the big fight, the actual main boss fight. And the worst part is that if he kills you, you’ll have to start from the beginning of the floor again - meaning you’ll have to beat Adachi again too. Ugh.
Unlike Adachi, who has 1 turn per round. Ameno-sagiri has 2. The first stage is relatively straightforward: debuff his defence, buff your team, do damage where you can. Yukiko should be healing every turn. Without fail.
Ameno-sagiri has a ton of different attacks:
- Ziodyne; Garudyen; Agidyne or Bufudyne (plus the group hitting equivalents)
- Various stat debuffing spells, if the elemental spells hit a weakness on your party - use Purifying Salt to nullify this
- Foolish Whisper, which causes Silence (use Yukiko’s Salvation to cure that… However, if she gets Silenced, use a Hiranya or a Amrita Soda on her)
- God’s Judgement (which deals decent damage to one player)
- Nebula Opus (decent damage to all players)
- Agneyastra (heavy Physical damage to all foes 1-3 times)
Stage 2 happens when you get it down to 50% health, and always kicks off the same way: Bewildering Fog, some stat buffs and then Mind Charge. It then does a devastating version of one of its main attacks (usually Nebula Opus). I’d guard it all out all the way, just to be safe, as you can do no damage here anyway. Just make sure your party has full health and focus on what happens after his Mind Charged attack.
Stage 2 is similar to stage 1, but Ameno-sagiri uses Quake as well. And periodically uses the aforementioned Bewildering Fog combo.
Be careful with the Mind Charged Nebula Opus, and you should be okay in stage 2. You 100% have to block that attack otherwise it could potentially be game over.
In stage 2 it also uses Dekunda (which wastes a turn) and Galgalim Eyes (drops health down to 1 for 1 character and gives them Enervation). If you buff someone in this phase too, he’ll also cast Dekaja and Dekunda. Meaning, you can waste his goes by using 2 of your 4 characters to buff you and debuff him. Genius.
And once you get it down to 0%, it’s done and dusted. The last main boss is killed. The rest from here is optional, but not if you want all the achievements, of course.
