In this video I go back to my first challenge run and return to SMTIV with a new challenge; minimum battles. In this run of Shin Megami Tensei IV, I play through the entire game without doing any grinding, only doing battles that are necessary to beat the game!

Jump into the action and get started on your exciting campaign in Nikke right now, and check out the new content for the Nier: Automata collaboration going on for a limited time: wehy.pe/y/2/Nyarly

“69 battles for the chaos ending, nice.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
-
Fun fact: There's actually a third Terminal you have access to in this run. Because the Terminal Guardian is working for the Asher's-kai, he's not allowed into Ginza, meaning that Terminal is free to enter.

wake up babe new Nyarly challenge run just dropped
-
Next challenge run: Can you get neutral ending without looking to a 100pages pdf?
-
Can confirm…. You can fail to recruit Centaur…. I was terrible at the recruiting for a looong time…. Not amazing at it now but I can hold my own most the time…. He either smacks you or leaves, like every other demon. But he will reappear every battle until you’re successful.

Bit of an oof doing this challange only to have the citra team finally fix the black square glitch two days before posting the video lol. Still fun even with it tho <3
-
Great challenge run! 30:30 Interestingly you can inflict almost any ailment onto even bosses and they'll have a LOT of unique dialogue that probably most people have never seen. Some of it is hilarious, you can even take money from the final bosses and they have so much unique dialog.

"I picked chaos ending because I just did law" I don't believe you, we know you went with the haha funny 69 on purpose Nyarly.

Love to see castlevania influencing the smt video with its music. Richter's theme is such a banger
-
Funnily enough I played this game to completion exactly once. I figured for my first run I'd answer the questions the way I would if they were posed to me. Ended up in the neutral ending. It was only later that I realized how unlikely that is.
-
You can grind for money without increasing the number of battles. It's called "collecting relics."
-
I hope your next SMT challenge is Strange Journey! My favorite Megaten game and it'd be pretty interesting to see what kind of challenge you'd come up for that game.
-
Fun fact: the only guide I found in which it explained which sidequests are obligatory and which aren't was made in a gameplay serie made by a youtuber called FatalRagnarok. In spanish, it's so random I love it.
-
I had no idea about the Seraph gimmick. I was running a DEX build so when I couldn't damage it, I went and fused a Demonee-ho and whispered Desperate Hit on Flynn and finished the rest of the game with it
-
A trip back to SMT4 is always nice on this channel.
-
25:47 Actually, there’s one big exception to the optional Terminals. In Ginza, the only thing in the way is an Ashura-Kai man who, in short, says “You want to use this? Go ahead. Also, fuck Tayama.”
-
An almost 50 minutes video of Nyarly on my birthday ? A suprised for sure but a welcome one
-
4:36 In my first playthrough of SMT IV, I failed the first demon negotiation with Centaur, so yeah it´s possible
-
Thanks for the upload Nyarly! awesome video as always. I'd love to see a 3ds Soul Hackers challenge run. Really fell in love with the cast of characters, and unique mechanics around their idea of a devil summoner and what that means.
