Prologue - Shinjuku Hospital Boss Fights

Forneus

Forneus will be your first battle but don't be too easy going! With a wrong setup, it is possible to have trouble with Forneus.

It is highly suggested to bring Demons with lightning elemental attacks to abuse Forneus' weakness and get extra turns per round! Aside from zapping Forneus non-stop, just keep your party's HP high with healing and the battle should be over quickly.

Prologue - Shinjuku Hospital General Tips

Talk to the soul before the Forneus Battle

There is a daring soul that will doubt your victory against Forneus. He'll bet all of his Macca that you won't be able to emerge victorious. After proving him wrong, return to him and talk to him to gain a hefty amount of Macca!

How to Farm Macca

Recruit a Shikigami to your party

Shikigami is a demon that can use Zio. Forneus is weak to the lightning element and the additional Zio you use in the fight will greatly speed up the battle.
