What's up everyone! This is vinheim and presenting you this Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Guide. It's the first SMT game I've played and I liked it a lot... and I MEAN A LOT! It's a bit different from the games I usually write for, but I'll do my best to make it as understandable and easy to follow as possible. I'm writing this on my second playthrough, so I "may" have things missing, but you can help me out by emailing me ;). There's also some things I want to address, so please read the following paragraphs: - My walkthrough is pretty dry to me. I'm writing this for free and because I love this game (just like I mentioned above). If you are looking for tons of eloquent ways for me to say "move here and start a battle", you are going to be so disappointed. This guide is way, way too big to begin with, and lofty language does not help. - If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find the explanations for battle basics, main menu, saving-loading, etc. Why, you ask? Well, because the game manual and in-game tutorials do a perfect job explaining the battle system. - The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for GameFAQ's or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions, people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea how helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you think. - My guide is not the only one out there (but almost). I'm not forcing you to use mine, but if you use others, then you better be prepared for lots of spoilers, which will ruin the element of surprise for you. Also, people that have problems with how I write my guide are in great minority. - The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game, just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely by myself, with a little help from DarkenedSakura's FAQ. I didn't read any spoilers, therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such effect. And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you. With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy this guide and remember that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't have to worry about important info of the game being spoiled. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 1.1] Contact Rules ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx101.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' Any critics, suggestions, spelling mistakes, contributions are welcome, so please send them at the following e-mail: --> vinheim@gmail.com <-- I always reply to all the mails I get, since feedback is the best reward of all.

Why? Well, first and most important, I'm a lazy ass and second, the in game tutorials teach you everything you need. I don't have an Instruction Manual and I did just fine. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 2.1] Story ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx201.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' In seven days, Tokyo will fall. The entire city has been locked down. No one enters, and no one leaves. Demons have invaded the city, attacking innocent people who have no means of fighting back. Inside the lockdown, fear and chaos reign. You are inside a lockdown. You will forge contracts with demons who will fight by your side. You will make decisions that will mean life for some and death for others. But what about your own life? Will you survive? Seven days remain. The clock is ticking. - Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Official Website =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 2.2] Controls ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx202.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' The controls for the game.

Let's start with the layout of the days (hours), then let's pass on to the battle layout. D A Y S' L A Y O U T ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I'll be writing each day by hours. There are certain events that consume 30 minutes of your time. These are marked with a light blue clock marked on the area. Sometimes, you're given more than 2 events that consume time and you can only choose one. These selections (not all, but most) are called character's path (when a main character is involved). These character paths only affect the ending (yeah, almost every character has their own ending). The decisions you pick affects the ending. In the main walkthrough, the events that are in capital letters, are events that are plot-wise and are needed to advance in the game. Also, use the Laplace Mails you'll get each day to manage your time, as it's essential in this game. I'll also be writing below the event the which character path it affects (if it affects any, of course). B A T T L E L A Y O U T ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ok, a little explanation of the layout of my battle layout. I'll paste it in parts and explain each one. O B J E C T I V E S ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ .--------------------------------------.--------------------------------------. | Victory | Defeat | |======================================|======================================| | | | | | | |--------------------------------------'--------------------------------------| | Required | |=============================================================================| | | | | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------' In each battle, before anything, you're told of your objectives for victory, objectives for defeat and objectives that are required (like the dispatchment of a character). When you meet all victory objectives, you win the battle. If you fail a defeat objective, you'll lose the battle immediately. And those required objectives, you need to do them in order to start the battle.

Watch the totally kick ass opening scene where you're shown the main characters of the game. Afterwards, write down your First Name, Last Name and a nickname. Me? Since the space for inputting the name is short, I'm called Alex Klein (Kleinheider won't fit) aka vin. But for the rest of the walkthrough, I'll call him Hero (just like DQ8). -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Day Before :: An End to the Ordinary sx501 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- - Laplace Mail: Event at 16:00 in Shibuya-ku. Someone is killed. Event at 19:00 in Minato-ku. Explosion. Event at 21:00 at all Tokyo Metropolitan area. Blackout. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Alrighty, we start at Shibuya 901. We meet 2 of Hero's friends, Atsuro and Yuzu. You will also receive your first Laplace Mail. I won't spoil anything, so you'll just have to wait until it's explained. When you get to the area selection, a list of all the locations you can visit are listed there. The little spinning thingy next to the places (like in Shibuya, there's a green one [Atsuro]). There's also a blue clock. These blue clocks add 30 minutes to the clock. At this point, it's 16:00. If you check any action that has a clock, after the event, it'll be 16:30. Keep in mind the hours shown in the Laplace Mail, so you don't mess it up. When there's a red "!", it means there's a battle there, whether it's plot-wise or not. Also, if the name of the place is in capital letters, that means it's plot- wise so there's no mistake. I'll start adding the time of each day, just to simplify things a little. --== 16:00 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This hour, we have 2 events. You can only pick one though. - Shinjuku :: ??? = Amane's Path - Shibuya :: Atsuro = Atsuro's Path --== 16:30 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There's only one thing to do. - OMOTESANDO :: YUZU = Yuzu's Path IIRC --== 17:00 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Only plot event. - AOYAMA :: RESIDENTAL AREA --== 17:30 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Save your game before moving to Shibuya, as there's our first battle here. - SHIBUYA :: ATSURO As we enter, read all the text and it's time for the first battle.

Don't worry about him, since the character guest Amane will take care of him. Hero will start at L06, meaning that he'll take care of both teams that are on the southern side of the cemetery. Just have him use Agi (fire-based spell) over and over, being that both the Ogre and the Kobolds are weak against fire. Atsuro should take care of the Pixie team at E02 (only attackable on your second turn), having Atsuro just attack or using Zio (lightning-based spell) and Kabuso use Agi; while Yuzu takes care of the Kobold team at L01. This is it about this battle. Pretty easy, huh? Well, it's only the beginning, my friend. You'll receive 50 XP and 150 Macca for ending the battle. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle and the scenes, read the email from Atsuro and the one from Naoya. Then save your game and prepare for Day 1. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- 1st Day :: Tokyo Lockdown sx502 -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- - Laplace Mail: Blackout continues. Poisonous gas escapes from underground. Event at 13:00 in Chiyoda-ku Bunkyo. 3 casualties. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o We wake up in the Cemetery. After some talk, you get 2 more emails. 1 from Naoya and the other is the Laplace Mail. Naoyas' explains the number over the heads of people. You arrive to Shibuya Station, just to find out that the station is closed and you won't be able to leave the Yamanote Circle anytime soon. --== 09:00 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Four events we can pick from here, but we can only pick 3 of these 4 and both Kaido's Path and the event at Ebisu are plot-wise and cannot be skipped, you you'll have to pick either Yuzu's event, or Atsuro's. I recommend thinking about the path you want to follow the rest of the game (Yuzu's by default and I recommend you starting with this one). - Shibuya :: Atsuro = Atsuro's Path - Shibuya :: Yuzu = Yuzu's Path - SHIBUYA :: ??? = Kaido's Path - EBISU :: LOOK AT YAMANOTE LINE There's a free battle option at Shibuya. Use this to level up a bit and the best of all, it doesn't consume time (How? I dunno). Also, at 10:00, you receive 2 emails. Now you can use the Devil Auction option from your COMPs. You should have around 330 Macca at this point, so save your game and go to the Devil Auction. There are Pixies, Kabuso's, Kobold's and the newest Devil, Ogre. I recommend bidding for the strongest Ogre and set it up at Yuzu's team, being that her team lacks physical strength. You could add a Pixie or a Kabuso to Hero's team and a Kobold/Ogre to Atsuro's team. If you're out of Macca, fight some battles at Shibuya. --== 10:30 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Two more plot wise events. You have time to do both events. - SHINJUKU :: LOOK AT YAMANOTE LINE - OMOTESANDO :: ??? = Gin's Path --== 11:00 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Two more events here. You have time to do both events.

Far harder that the previous battles, but still manageable. Yuzu will start. Have her and Hero gang up on the Moh Shuyuu group that's at M02. The Moh Shuyuu will pose more of a problem than the other Demons, being that they are at Lv. 7. Just kill the Kobold first, then direct all your attacks on the Moh Shuyuu. Have Atsuro firstly attack the Pixie group at B02. They should go down in the first turn. Atsuro should take care of both Pixie groups, while Hero and Yuzu take care of both Moh Shuyuu groups (remember to take these down one on one). After 2 groups of enemies are defeated, another group of Demons appear out of nowhere. I'll be calling these kind of Demons "Enemy Raid groups". This Waira is a bitch. His Race Skill, Demon Speed, gives him Move: 7, so he can get to any point in the map in about 2 turns, plus those 150+ HP is incredible. About the Kobold group that was at A11, have anyone attack it. Wait in the middle of the area with all 3 groups for the Waira group. When it reaches your position, surround it and attack it with all your might until defeated. Target the Pixie first because it'll heal the Waira and we don't want that. You'll receive 60 XP and 60 Macca. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read the text after the battle and you'll receive 2 emails. --== 12:00 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Read these 2 emails --== 12:30 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Alright, a new Demon is in Auction. Wairas and Moh Shuyuus. The Waira is a magic user, while the Moh Shuyuu is an average Demon, but what's good about this Moh Shuyuu is its Flight skill, which adds Move +1 and allows you to transport within the range, ignoring unavailable spaces. And the Waira, you've already seen what it does. Both are excellent choices, so I recommend picking up at least 1 of each. - IKEBUKURO :: LOOK AT YAMANOTE LINE You receive and email from Naoya telling you about the Skill Crack option. Basically, when you enter battle, you can "steal" skills from your enemies. You have to select which party is going to crack which skill and that party, and only THAT party has to kill the enemy with the skill to be cracked. --== 13:00 ==-- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Since we can now crack skills, I recommend you going to Shibuya and crack some skills, since our first Boss Battle is about to begin, and he's hard as hell, trust me. Also, we need the levels for this battle! - SUIDOBASHI :: TOKYO DOME **BATTLE** = Click on the "Listen to people here" to receive 50 Macca (you can do this in any part of the day IIRC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== O B J E C T I V E S ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ .--------------------------------------.--------------------------------------. | Victory | Defeat | |======================================|======================================| | o Defeat all Demons | o All characters die | '--------------------------------------'--------------------------------------' P A R T Y ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ :===========.=====: :===========.=====: :===========.=====: | Character | Lv. | | Character | Lv. | | Character | Lv. | |-----------|-----| |-----------|-----| |-----------|-----| | HERO | 9 | | ATSURO | 8 | | YUZU | 8 | | Moh Shuyuu| 8 | | Waira | 7 | | Pixie | 6 | | Pixie | 6 | | Ogre | 7 | | Ogre | 7 | :==========='=====: :==========='=====: :==========='=====: E N E M Y P A R T I E S ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ \==================/=====/==========/ _________\================\=======/ | Demon Name | Lv. | Location | | No. #2 | Ogre | 4 | |----------------|-----|----------| \===========| Ogre | 4 | | WENDIGO | 17 | I02 | | B02 | KOBOLD | 3 | | Moh Shuyuu | 7 |==========+ |----------|----------------|-----| | Moh Shuyuu | 7 | No. #1 | | Location | Demon Name | Lv. | +================+=====+ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ +==========+================+=====+ \==================/=====/==========/ _________\================\=======/ | Demon Name | Lv. | Location | | No. #4 | Kabuso | 2 | |----------------|-----|----------| \===========| Kabuso | 2 | | PIXIE | 2 | B07 | | N08 | MOH SHUYUU | 7 | | Kabuso | 2 |==========+ |----------|----------------|-----| | Kabuso | 2 | No. #3 | | Location | Demon Name | Lv. | +================+=====+ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ +==========+================+=====+ \==================/=====/==========/ | Demon Name | Lv. | Location | |----------------|-----|----------| | WAIRA | 8 | P08 | | Waira | 8 |==========+ | Waira | 8 | No. #5 | +================+=====+ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ M A P ŻŻŻŻŻ _01___02___03___04___05___06___07___08_ |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| A | | | | xx | xx | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| B | | RD | | xx | xx | | RD | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| C | | | | xx | xx | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| D | | | | xx | xx | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| E | | | | xx | xx | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| F | | | | | | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| G | | | | | | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| H | | | | xx | xx | xx | xx | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| I | | RD | | xx | xx | xx | xx | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| J | | | | xx | xx | xx | xx | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| K | | | | xx | xx | xx | xx | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| L | | | | xx | xx | xx | xx | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| M | | | | xx | xx | xx | xx | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| N | BL | BL | BL | xx | xx | xx | xx | RD | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| O | BL | BL | BL | BL | | | | | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| P | | | | | | | | RD | |----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ o--- K E Y ----------------o o----------------- L E G E N D ---o | ŻŻŻŻŻ | | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ | | xx :: Space unavailable | | B02 | Enemy #2 position | | BL :: Character Position | | B07 | Enemy #3 position | | available Spaces | | I02 | Enemy #1 position | | EL :: Escape Line | | N01 | Hero's position | | RD :: Enemy Position Space | | N08 | Enemy #4 position | | GU :: Character Guest | | O02 | Yuzu's position | | ER :: Enemy Raid Position | | O03 | Atsuro's position | | OB :: Random Object | | P08 | Enemy #5 position | o----------------------------o o-----------------------------------o S T R A T E G Y ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ok, the victory of this battle depends on how well you move and who you attack first and PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CRACK WENDIGO'S ICE DANCE. Take out the Moh Shuyuu group from N08. Having to Lv.2 Kabusos is really easy and should probably go down in one turn. If you have to use 2, then that's ok. While running away from Wendigo, gang on the Waira group, which is the second hardest group of the battle. After you defeat the Waira group, gang on Wendigo. It's hard as hell, being at Lv.17, but the key to this battle is to take care of the Moh Shuyuus as fast as possible. Even without the Moh Shuyuus, Wendigo is one tough cookie. He'll deal around 50 dmg. per hit, so stay healed all the time. If the northern-most groups (Kobold and Pixie) engages in battle with you, don't fear as they are weak as hell. Hero's Agi is quite powerful against Wendigo, so don't waste your MP on the other Demons. If you're having trouble with this battle, level up a bit and/or make some changes on your formation. You'll receive 100 XP and 70 Macca. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now out Death Clock is 2.
