Megami Tensei II World Guidance: Chapter I - Let The Games Begin!
The Beginning Getting Started
According to an ancient legend,
There was once a rebellion of the winged ones
But they were thwarted, and stripped of their glory
Their white wings were torn from their bodies
And they were sent to the pits of the dark earth.

Now we will regain our former glory.


KYUUYAKU MEGAMI TENSEI
Reincarnation of the Goddess: Old Testament

Once you reach the title screen proper, select "II" to start Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei 2.

199X: The history of civilisation ends.
Time passes...

When you start the game, you'll be introduced by the following message:

Caution For Devil Busters
From now on, you are a Devil Buster.
Defeat the evil demons, and return peace to the world.
If everything you experience in this game is like real events, it should aid your own experience. The hero of the game will, together with you, surmount various dangers and grow.
However, it's not the case that the hero will have sufficient strength from the start. Please go through the game carefully and without pushing yourself too far.
Well then, let the games begin.

Once the introduction has finished, you'll be taken to character creation screens. First, you'll be asked:

Please enter a name for the hero, a young man who you could say is your other self.

When that's done:

Please enter a name for your partner, a young girl who is important to you.

And then finally:

Your friend is pestering you to enter his name in too. Please enter his name as well.

When all the names are decided on, you'll next be prompted to divide up the stat points for each character. (For the purpose of this walkthrough, I've named the hero Tatsuya, the partner Yuki and the friend Shiro.) The different stats are:

  • Constitution
  • Intelligence
  • Strength
  • Speed
  • Luck

    Generally speaking, constitution will affect your HP, Intelligence your magic-based stats, Strength your attack power, Speed your accuracy and evasion rates, and god knows what Luck does, but it's probably worth spending points on. However, over long-term development, these rules blur a bit.


  • Devil Buster/Daedalus' Tower The first dungeon

    When your character creation is all finished, you'll be taken to an overhead-style dungeon. Don't worry, it doesn't last. This place is the town of Micon. Conversations in Micon:

    Elderly Man
    "I am the elder of Micon Town."
    What will you do?
    -Quit Devil Buster
    -Continue Devil Buster

    If you pick "Quit", your friend will nag at you to hurry up and show him the Minotauros. You'll then quit the game, and go outside into the real world. For the sake of keeping this readable, let's leave the real world for later. Picking "Continue" will continue Devil Buster as normally.

    Young Man
    "You can talk to the Yousei and Chirei, you know."
    Man with Staff
    "Everyone is healthy."
    (This is because you haven't had the chance to get beaten up yet. Wait for it, but don't forget you can get healed here ;D.)
    Elevator
    "The elevator isn't working."
    Woman
    "This is Micon Town, on the 8th floor of Daedalus' Tower. Isn't there someone dear to you in here?
    I love that kind of visitor!"
    Young Man
    "Your mission is to defeat the Minotaur."

    You'll find 1000 makka and a Jewel in a treasure chest room, to the south-east. You can promptly blow all this Makka at a nearby show. Pay close attention to the gender symbols next to the item names: male characters can't equip female equipment and vice-versa. The items for sale are:

  • Jack Knife (F)
  • Bronze Sword (M)
  • Scimitar (MF)
  • Broadsword (M)
  • Battle Suit (M)
  • High-Leg Armour (F)
  • Kevlar Vest (M)
  • Iron Headgear (F)

    You start the game totally unequipped, so it's probably a good idea to equip yourself before you head out and face the demon hordes.

    There's also a Jakyou Manor to the top right of the floor. You can always tell a Jakyou by the man in a blue dress.

    Before you go and fight evil, you may want to see what the real world looks like. Go to the Elder's place (the L-shaped "building"), and pick the first option. You'll be taken to the underground shelter your character lives in. Encounters:

    Kid
    "Big brother, are you going out to explore?
    I wanna go too..."
    Soldier
    "The surface world isn't easy like it is in a game!"
    Man in sunglasses
    "Oh, it's Tatsuya.
    How're you?
    If you beat Devil Buster, I'll give you 750 makka."
    Pink Girl
    "I couldn't even think of leaving this shelter.
    The surface world is full of demons!"
    Girl
    (Shiro's girlfriend, Hiroko's room)
    "You're always together, aren't you?
    I'm a little jealous.
    Hey, Tatsuya... who's this "Yuki" in Devil Buster?"
    Weapons Guy
    "Our world is being destroyed because of the demons.
    This shelter should be safe, but this place is equipped so that when, if by some chance, a demon appears, weapons will be secured here.
    Come here if something happens."
    Girl
    "The bar is full of knowledgeable people.
    If you treat them to a drink or something, they might tell you something."

    The Poison Bar:

    Barmaid
    "Welcome!"
    -Talk to customers
    -Order food and drink
    -Leave

    The choices for the first option are "Young Man", "Long-haired Girl" and "Suspicious Man".

    Young Man
    "It seems there are even some towns outside.
    But, there's nowhere safer than here."
    Long-haired Girl
    "Oh, are you treating me?
    I want a Super Milk."

    She'll get mad at you if you refuse or can't afford it.

    Suspicious Man
    "There's an infirmary on B3F, you know.
    Don't you think the nurse there is cute?"

    The drinks you can choose, should you pick the second option, are Super Milk and Miracle Tonic. However, you don't have the money to sit around drinking instead of saving the world at the moment.

    The elevator on this floor is out of service, so rather than checking out the nurse on B3F, let's go back to the computer room. You'll get three options:

  • Devil Buster
  • Leave the room
  • Save progress

    Selecting Devil Buster will bring up the following text:

    "Devil Buster... ... ...
    Load complete, starting"

    Hit Yes and you'll be back in Micon. Hooray! Go down the stairs, and get ready to start killing stuff. Encounters on this floor:

    Man:
    "As the moon becomes bigger, the demons get wilder.
    During full moons, please be careful as they won't even be able to talk."
    Man
    "Minion have their own special skills, but whether they use them or not depends on the circumstances at the time."
    Room
    "There's something written on the wall...
    The one with exceeding intelligence art one who withstands magic;
    The one with exceeding luck, the one who is protected by the power
    of the gods, and is protected from diverse hardships by an unseen hand"
    Woman
    "Minion don't level up!
    You power them up by fusing them at the Jakyou Manor.
    By fusing Fire/Wind/Earth/Water Slimes or Salamander, Sylph, Gnome and Undine with a demon of the corresponding race, you can increase its rank by one level.
    Man:
    "The guys in the front of your party are tough!
    Enemies will come aiming for the front!"
    Man
    "Magnetite is the source of the demons' energy.
    When summoned demons eat up all the magnetite, their HP will be reduced instead, so be careful!"
    Room
    "The Orb of Silence lies inside the Minotaur."

    In one room, you'll be greeted by a demon.

    Demon "I've been waiting for you, brat!"

    It's a boss - Jaki Minotaur. He has around 50 HP, and attacks using physical attacks and Mahazio. If you win, you get the Orb of Silence (Ë). Don't forget you can always go back to Micon to upgrade your equipment, buy new items, get healing or fuse demons.

    If you go upstairs from the floor Jaki Minotaur was on, you'll find another room.

    Room
    "There's something written on the wall...
    Offer it to the statue of the evil god!
    Offer the blue light of the Orb of Silence!
    Listen, seekers! Listen to the sound of the storm awakening from the edge of deep slumber!

    In another room, you'll find a statue.

    Will you offer something to the statue of the evil god?

    Picking Yes will take you to some more options:

  • Offer Jewel
  • Offer Orb of Silence
  • Leave the room

    Picking the first option will result in nothing happening. (Idiot.)

    Picking the second will result in the following:

    Tatsuya offered the Orb of Silence to the evil god statue.
    The evil god statue absorbed the Orb of Silence!

    "I am Maou Pazuzu, born in the midst of flame and storm...
    Now, released from the seal, I will leave here with the light...

    My saviours...
    My name is Pazuzu.
    Under the orders of God I have come to give you an important mission.
    At the end of the 20th century, the war obliterated the world's civilisation in an instant. Now, 35 years after the great war, humanity is being threatened by a fearful enemy.
    One after another, the demons came into this world through the dimensional tear caused as a result of the war.
    That split is here in Tokyo.
    When I descended to this land as a messenger of God, I was sealed into a computer by Maou Bael, who rules Tokyo. You are the ones who saved me from that.
    My saviours, you are not just MY saviours. You are in fact the children of God, who will save humanity from this peril. My duty is to aid you whilst guiding you towards the right objective.

    I will give the Devil Summoning Programme to you, Tatsuya.
    If you use your computer, you can summon demons you've made into Minion anywhere. I will transmit the demons you've made into Minion in Devil Buster to your computer. I'll also give you the Auto-Mapping Program. Places you've walked through once will automatically be recorded on your computer.
    To Shiro, I shall give the spells "Di" and "Mappala".
    Because the seal has been broken, the demons coming through the connection to the computers in the shelter have begun to invade. Now, you must go and defeat the Necromancer Nebiros, who has appeared on B1F!
    Well then, take care!"

    What was that just now?
    Tatsuya, who had been playing the virtual reality RPG Devil Buster in the computer room, finally returned to reality.
    Barely able to speak due to the surprise, his friend Shiro, who was watching dumb-founded next to him, spoke agitatedly.
    "That wasn't a game just now, was it?!
    It looks like you've somehow involved us in some terrible situation!
    But... it seems it's not like we can just run away.
    Why don't we accept it and try being these Saviours or whatever?
    First, let's go to the weapons store and get some kinda weaponry!"
