Defeat Divine Cherub (1200 HP) and Israfel (1500 HP) in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Learn weaknesses and rewards like the Destiny Jewel.
Walkthrough
- 1You will encounter and must fight Divine Cherub (HP: 1200 / MP: 9999). Its weaknesses are Elec, and it is Null to Expel and Curse. It resists Wind. Use Elec attacks for maximum efficiency with Co-Ops, or physical/gun attribute skills. The fight should take approximately 3 rounds. Divine Cherub knows Megidola and Mahamaon; wearing armors that protect against Expel can mitigate Hama skills.
- 2After defeating Divine Cherub, you will receive Cosmic Egg #4. Jimenez will contact you, instructing you to visit Mem Aleph again. Leave Delphinus and return to Horologium.
- 3Navigate to Horologium 1F. Equip yourself to be strong against or to nullify both Expel and Curse.
- 4Enter Horologium and attempt to ride the elevator down to B9F. Israfel will appear and destroy the elevator, initiating a boss fight.
- 5You must fight Herald Israfel (HP: 1500 / MP: 9999). Its weakness is Fire, and it is Null to Ice, Expel, and Curse. Israfel has low HP, around 1500. While physical attacks or Fire skills are effective, be aware that Israfel uses Horn of Fate, which can instantly kill you if you are not protected against Expel and Curse. Israfel also knows Luster Candy and Diarahan, so ensure your damage output is sufficient to prevent it from healing to full health repeatedly.
- 6Upon defeating Israfel, you will obtain the rare Forma, Destiny Jewel. Return this to the Red Sprite's Lab to unlock the Gate Search D function.
- 7Head back into Horologium. Take the door east of the entrance and search for a portal in the hall. This leads to a dark area. Navigate as follows: go west as far as possible, then north as far as possible, then south as far as possible, then east two tiles and north two tiles. Go through the door.
- 8In the new area, take the portal in the far west to enter another dark area. Navigate this area by going north all the way, east all the way, north all the way, east all the way, then through the door. Ride the elevator here.
- 9Elevator access: B1F has a terminal past ailment/damage fields, but is currently a dead end. B4F has a heal point and damage/ailment fields, but is also a dead end for now. Proceed down to B2F.
- 10In Horologium B2F, find the obvious portal to continue. This area is linear. Go west until you reach an elevator and ride it down to B4F.
- 11In Horologium B4F, go south into poison fields, then east. At the fork, go south. In the damage tiles, go east until you reach a door and enter to obtain Summon Stone x1. Return to the damage tile area, go all the way west, and search for a portal. Go through it to clear the path to an elevator. Ride it up to 1F.
- 12Back in Horologium 1F, search the southeast wall to open a shortcut to the dungeon's entrance. Ignore the stairs, as they lead to an EX Mission accessible via C-type dark areas that you cannot yet see in.
- 13Take the elevator back down to B3F.
- 14In Horologium B3F, go east and open the portal on the wall. Continue east until you reach a fork, then take the northwest path. Near the end of this path, search the south wall to find a portal. Open it and go through to obtain 30000 Macca and Bead Chain x1. Exit this room via the only door. Return to the central part of the floor and take the south path. You will find a Heal Spot and a terminal. Search the west wall, 3 tiles above the terminal, to find a portal. Go through it to obtain Soma x2 and Great Chakra x1.
- 15East of the terminal, go up the stairs to Horologium B2F.
- 16This floor is filled with conveyors. To obtain Chakra Pot x1, take the conveyors in this order: Southmost, west, east, northwest, west, north, east, east, east, then east four tiles south of where that conveyor ends. Go north 3 tiles from where this conveyor ends, then go east to the wall. Go south two tiles, then east to and ride the next conveyor. Go south three tiles, then east to the wall, south to the wall, west one tile, then south onto the conveyor. When this one stops, go two tiles west and step onto the conveyor. Go east to the wall, then south onto the conveyor. Avoid all other conveyors and find a treasure box containing the Chakra Pot. Ride the next conveyor to return to the start of the floor.
- 17To access a pitfall leading to an area of B3F not otherwise accessible and obtain 50000 Macca, take the conveyors in this order: Southmost, west, east, northwest, west, north, east, east, east, then east four tiles south of where that conveyor ends. . . Go north and ride the conveyor. When it stops, search north for a portal and go through it. In the new area, search the west wall for a portal and go through it. You will ride a conveyor into a pitfall to B3F. In the west path of this room, a box at the end contains the 50000 Macca. The south path from that room leads back to a portal that opens near the terminal on B3F, providing access to the stairs back up to B2F.
- 18To proceed through the dungeon, take the conveyors in this order: Southmost, west, east, northwest, west, north, east, east, east, then east four tiles south of where that conveyor ends. . . Go south three tiles, then east to the wall, south to the wall, west one tile, then south onto the conveyor. From here, go west and ride the west conveyor. This allows access to a terminal and stairs up to B1F.
