quick and overwhelming defeat!

After defeating Dante in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster, learn about the fabricated goddess Aradia and prepare to enter the 4th Calpa.

Upon Dante's defeat, you will get (IMO) the dumbest cutscene of the entire game. Despite the fact that you just beat the tar out of him, Dante postures like an idiot, saying he "won't kill you" because "that's what the old man would want." Actually, that's exactly what the old man WOULDN'T want, but maybe Dante's just punch-drunk. In any case, he gives you his Menorah, saying that he hoped he could find the truth by gathering them, but "changed his mind" and doesn't want it anyway. (Too proud to admit you unceremoniously made him kiss the floor perhaps?) Instead, he says he's going to try and find out what the old man is really after. He leaves. And that's fortunately the last you'll ever see of him, save for an incredibly minor cutscene later on where you're given the chance to hire him into your party.

With Dante out of the way, you can finally proceed on to the peephole--look in for your reward of juicy information from the nurse & and the old guy in the wheelchair. This time, the nurse gives you some information on Aradia, the goddess that Yuko prayed to.

Aradia is a "fabricated" goddess that is not permitted to be in the Vortex world, and wandered in from another dimension. As an uncountable number of Vortexes exist in the Amara universe, Aradia originates one of those others, but not in a "legitimate" vortex. Vortexes are normally born from the power of the universes they used to be in the cycle of creation and destruction. However, there are other Vortexes that exist in the shadow of the "legitimate" Vortexes, and Aradia is from one such "Shadow Vortex". The residents of these Shadow Vortexes are fabrications, generated from the wishes, beliefs, and desires of the people that live in the "legitimate" vortexes--their thoughts essentially become crystallized in a semi-"real" form. However, to become full-fledged, "real" deities, these "shadow gods" have to leave their Shadow Vortexes and seek out "legitimate" vortexes that are in the process of being Created and having their Kotowari decided. If they successfully incorporate themselves in such a world, they can become fully "real" gods like all the others. Aradia is just one such goddess, a "sad savior goddess" that is born from the dreams and visions of others. The nurse tells you that Aradia herself originated from the prayers of the Wiccans, who where seeking a refuge from the persecution of a "more powerful god"--they prayed to Aradia to save them from oppression and to help all those that suffer. However, being a "shadow deity," Aradia was more or less powerless to save anyone, and could do nothing but give hope to those that believed in her. Still being a Shadow Goddess and a foreign entity, Aradia can not do much -she is a "doomed freedom goddess" as the nurse puts it.

Before leaving, the nurse tells you that you have probably been hearing a lot of different things from a lot of different people--the Majin, the voice from the second Calpa, the people in the Vortex, and her and her master. She leaves you to decide for yourself who to believe and who not to, but asks you to remember that she and her master have been waiting an eternity in the Amara for your arrival..."the source of the Deep Zone, the Menorah, and the new Demon of Chaos everyone yearns for. And the final hour my master awaits..." She says you probably don't understand what she's talking about, but promises to tell you everything the next time you see her.

Your path to the 4th Calpa is now open. Head on in. (Or turn back if you don't have the requisite Menorahs--there's no event in the Menorah Chamber you have to see at this point)
