How to Beat Amanozako

Apply Attack and Defense Debuffs

Defense debuffs are extremely vital if you wish to cut down the battle's duration by folds.

Start the Battle With Electric-Immune Fighters

On Amanozako's first turn, she'll attack then follow up her move with Mazionga which grants your team a free turn. Her next turns will also be either Spirit Drains or Mazionga which can effectively increase your team's survival rate.

Use Shards/Gems to Maximize Turns

If you are running a Physical build or your demons run out of MP mid-fight, use Shards or Gems from your inventory to continue your assault. Getting as much damage as you can every turn is necessary to skip her critical HP phase.

Same anon. It has to be a full moon.

Note: if you’re doing this quest on a second playthrough, I think you can’t have Amanozako in the party, otherwise the fight doesn’t start. You also have to stand in a particular spot to trigger the cutscene.
