Defeat Ouroboros and Tyrant Moloch in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Learn strategies, weaknesses, and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First, defeat Ouroboros. Avoid buffing or debuffing to +4 or -4, as Ouroboros uses Silent Prayer to cancel all parameter changes. Her attacks include Mahama (Expel instant death), Wild Thunder (hit-all Elec), a double-hit physical attack, and Disaster Cycle (random status ailments). Aim to defeat her in 6-7 turns.
  2. 2
    After the battle, you will be forced out of the boss room. Destroy the 4 energy sources marked on your map; these are encounters with regular enemies with slightly more HP.
  3. 3
    You must then fight Ouroboros again. This time, she has 3200 HP and no regeneration, but more attacks including Wave of Death (hit-all Phys). Consider equipping Strong to Phys armor that retains Expel resistance for your Main Character. Use the same buffing strategy as before and focus on Fire skills for Co-Op attacks.
  4. 4
    Upon defeating Ouroboros the second time, you will unlock Snake Ouroboros fusion and receive the [Klein Bottle] and [Formless Mass] key items. The main mission Find the Vanishing Point is complete.
  5. 5
    Return to the Red Sprite for scenes and dialogue choices with Jimenez. These choices do not seem to affect alignment.
  6. 6
    A new main mission, Fornax's Exotic Matter, is added. The Klein Bottle will unlock new Sub Apps: HP Regen II, MP Regen I, and Green Grass.
  7. 7
    You can now enter Sector Fornax.
  8. 8
    Explore Fornax 1F. Take the east door to find [Balm of Rising x1] and [Amrita Soda x2].
  9. 9
    In the west hall, you may find the Demon Futotama. If you completed the EX Mission from Ame no Uzume in Eridanus, he will give you [Tamashiro Mirror].
  10. 10
    Continue to find [Soma Drop x1] before reaching a terminal. Save your game.
  11. 11
    South of the terminal, you will find a warning about a powerful demon and a secret shortcut door. Ensure you do not have a fire weakness before proceeding.
  12. 12
    East of this area, you will encounter Morax, who reveals his true self as Tyrant Moloch. An alignment choice will occur before the fight: "Learn the greatness of demons!" with options for Chaos, Neutral, or Law alignment.
  13. 13
    Boss: Tyrant Moloch [HP: 2200 / MP: 9999] [Weak: Ice / Strong: Gun, Elec / Null: Expel, Curse / Resist: Fire].
Tips
  • For the first Ouroboros fight, focus on dealing enough damage to offset her regeneration.
  • For the second Ouroboros fight, equip armor that resists Physical attacks if possible, while maintaining Expel resistance.
  • The fight against Tyrant Moloch is almost the same as the previous one.
  • Snake Ouroboros fusion unlocked.
  • [Klein Bottle] key item.
  • [Formless Mass] key item.
  • Completion of the main mission Find the Vanishing Point.
  • Access to Sector Fornax.
