Demi-Fiend ❝Return of the Demon❞ DLC Contents

Includes All Fiend Bosses

Aside from the DLCs main meat, the Return of the Demon DLC also includes the entirety of all Fiend Bosses and unlocks them later via fusion.

An Uber Boss Demi-Fiend for Post-Game

It has also been stated that the Demi-Fiend is a Post-Game boss fight which means its going to be a hyper difficult fight. In its previous appearance in Digital Devil Saga, an optimized, non-cheesed boss fight will take roughly 40 - 50 minutes. Just goes to show the battle's difficulty.

What to Expect in the Demi-Fiend DLC Boss Fight

An SMT Protagonist with Inflated HP Values

It is best to treat the upcoming batlle similarly to how you would a battle against yourself. The main protagonist will have his original set of moves and weaknesses so plan out your strategy with this in mind.

Summons New Demons to Battle

As an SMT protagonist, the Demi-Fiend wll also be summoning demon as reinforcements. This is highly likely as it was shown in the DLC that he is together with Uber Pixie in the opening scene.

Avoiding Instant Death

In Digital Devil Saga, equipping a null-skill will cause the Demi-Fiend to go berserk and end the fight immediately. The same can be said for this DLC Boss Fight, but in a different way. Failing to defeat an ally of the Demi-Fiend every 6 turns will cause him to use Gaea Rage and end the fight right then and there.
