- For 'The wise man's library V', the demon password SUNMONTUESWEDNESDAYTHURSFRISATURDAY creates a level 83 Vile Seth with Agidyne, Bufudyne, Ziodyne, Garudyne, and Concentrate.
- When fighting Zouchouten, remember that healing items are permitted even though healing skills on demons are not.
- For Koumokuten, focus on using items for healing as your MP will be severely limited at the start of the battle.
- Jikokuten can be defeated solo by the player character, especially if using debuff or buff spells.
