Megaten Frequently Asked Questions

Megaten Frequently Asked Questions by gmpeanut

• What should i do after Act 0?
  You should talk to Snakeman, he will tell you what to do next. You should also talk to Father Figure Guard outside of Virtual Battle, he has some quests that will help you to better understand the world of Megaten.
• I didn’t read the tutorial in Virtual Battle, is there a way to redo it?
  Yes, you can always come and talk to Snakeman again.
• I completed the Virtual Battle Tutorial what do i do next?
  When in doubt ask Snakeman, he will be the main NPC (non-Player-Character) who will direct you on your path.
• I can’t contract Leader Pixie or any other Demon.
  You have to use the negotiation skills (Talk, Threaten) several times before a demon joins you. Sometimes you might need to try talking with another demon of the same kind, before you find the one that will want to join you.
• I got a demon but cannot call it to my side, what do i need to do it?
  You need a special item, called Magnetite, to be able to summon your demon. Magnetite can be obtained from looting demons you defeat in battle.
• My Demon Friend died, how do i bring it back to life?
  You need to go to Pharmacy and buy an item called Revivial Orbs and just use them.
• Why is my weapon greyed out and i am dealing less damage?
  Your weapon is probably damaged and it’s durability decreased to 0, you just need to go to the Weapon Shop and talk with the NPC to repair it. Weapons become less effective as you use them and loose durability.
• My clothes are greyed out too, what do i do?
  You will have to repair your clothes from time to time, you can do it in Accessory Shops, in any City.
• My Top had 30 durability now it only has 28, why?
  While repairing you always have the small chance to permanently lower the items durabilty by a few points.
• How do i prevent it?
  You can look for Repair Kits/Tools, the first can be found in reward boxes in some dungeon runs, the second can be bought for AP (Aeria Points) by going here.
• I got a gun but i cannot shoot, why?
  You need to buy some bullets and make sure they are equipped, otherwise you cannot use your shooting skills.
• What is Expertise?
  To put it simply Expertise is your skill level. The higher the Expertise rank the stronger your skills.
• How do i start learning Expertise?
  You need to unlock the skills, you do it by clicking the small rectangle on the right side of the window.
• I unlocked the Expertise, but it’s still not going up, why?
  In Megaten you learn by repeating the skills, for example to raise Attack, you need to use Attack skills.
• What are Ranks and Classes?
  Ranks and Classes tell you how strong your Expertise is, the higher the Class and Rank the better the skills.
• How do i learn the skills in each Expertise?
  You need to double click on the Expertise and choose what skill you want to learn. Some of the classes and ranks give you only one skill, in others you need to choose which one you think will benefit your more.
• How many Expertise Points do i have?
  At the begining you have 17,000 points, the number grows with each 10 levels by 1,000, the total amount of points you can have is 26,000. This means that you WILL NOT be able to master every skill. For further information about expertises, check out the Expertise section
• Are there any items that lower the Expertise Class?
  You can buy Water/Bottle of Forgetfull in Magic Shop in any City, they lower your Expertise by one rank/class respectively. The only requierment for those is that your Character is below level 30. If your Character is above level 30 you need to buy Lethe Water/Bottle for AP. You can obtain some Non-Trade Lethe Bottles from NPC Quests and Demon Friend Quests.
• How do I get a demon mount? At Shinjuku Babel, one of the cities you will come across during the game, you’ll find an NPC called DB Okabe, who is riding a Cerberus (the white lion-like demon). Talk to him and take his ‘lessons’ to receive a free Nimble Cerberus and its Intaglio (a ring that once equipped, allows you to mount a certain demon).
  However, Nimble Cerberus is level 20, so in order to summon it and mount him you must be level 20 or higher.

  If you happen to have an Intaglio for another demon mount, you can talk to DB Okabe again, and he will offer you to train your demon as Nimble (meaning it’s trained to be mounted). Your demon must be one of the ones in his list, and has to be level 20 or up, to be made Nimble. Also, make sure you have the Intaglio ring for that demon, so you can mount it. Also, keep in mind that demons trained as Nimble, will lose any other skill, keeping only the basic ones.

• What are these demon cards for?Some demons may drop “demon cards” (like, Jack Frost card, etc.) You can trade these demon card to Card Maniacs NPC’s (non-Player-Character) for some special items (mostly, equipment). They will ask you to get a set of certain demon cards in order to give you a reward in exchange.
• What are Fortune Cards?
  Fortune Cards are AP items that give random prizes. The list or prizes is changed frequently, and posted in forum. To look at the list, click the “List” option when a FC is highlighted, a window will pop up like a shop screen, displaying all the items, and even lets you try them on.
• How can I do a dungeon run?
  Buy a key called a “Plate” at the Yagiya in the dungeon lobby. Click the glowing Tablet and select the Plate from the list.
  There are different kind of Plates but the most common are Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each category is related to the level of difficulty of the same dungeon, with Gold the hardest.
• Why do some players have equipment with special names?
  It’s because their equipment/weapon was modified to improve it. These modifications add special names to the equipment. This is a more advanced feature that you shouldn’t worry about yet. For more information about this, check the Synthesis section on the MegaTen Wiki.
• Why can’t I make a second character in my account?
  To make more than one character, you must purchase Character Tickets with AP from the Character Select screen. However, keep in mind that if you delete a character created with a Character Ticket, you’ll have to buy another in order to create one again.

.::COMBAT SYSTEM::.
Shin Megami Tensei Imagine has a very diverse combat system. It’s not something you can just hit one button and expect to destroy life itself without expecting yourself to die. To remedy this, let’s go over the combat system in depth.

Attacking
There are several different methods of attacking. Here’s a brief overview of basic attacks.

Close-Range Abilities
These abilities are usable only with melee weapons such as swords, spears, axes, and other assorted close-range weapons.

• Attack:
  
  This targets one enemy and allows the user to make combos with a melee weapon.

• Spin:
  
  This attacks the enemies around the user by using a melee weapon.
• Rush:
  
  This attack charges an enemy with a melee weapon and typically does more damage than a standard attack.

Ranged Abilities
These abilities are usable only with long-range weapons such as handguns, rifles and shotguns.
You must have bullets equipped to use these skills.

• Shot:
  
  This is a ranged attack that requires a gun. It fires single shots from a long distance away at slow intervals.

• Rapid:
  
  This is another ranged attack that requires a gun. It fires multiple shots at close range. This can be considered a gunner’s equivalent to a melee’s basic attack.
• Destruction Magic:
  
  This is a ranged that is not restricted to melee weapons or guns. This is similar to shot but has a shorter distance.

Defending:
There are also defensive abilities to protect and defend against these attacks.

Defensive Techniques

• Guard:
  
  Halves spin and attack damage and stuns the attacker momentarily. Can be broken by rush and ranged attacks.

• Counter:
  
  Reflects melee attacks and rushes back at the attacker, knocking them back. Can be broken by spin and ranged attacks.
• Dodge:
  
  Allows the user to dodge an incoming ranged attack. The attacker is forced to pause momentarily before using another action. Can be broken by any melee attack.

Application

Now that you have a rough idea as to the basic attacks, let’s apply them in actual combat scenarios. When fighting demons, they are capable of all of these same basic moves. There are a few things to take note of:

• When a demon is guarding, they will circle your character.
  In this instance, you can either shoot them with a ranged attack, or use a rush to break through their guard.

• When a demon is stationary, they are preparing to counter you.
  In this scenario, the demon could be preparing to use rapid shots on you, preparing a spin, ready to counter, or ready to dodge.

If you have observed how a demon attacks, you can typically guess if it has a rapid or spin technique. You may also notice that some demons may use just counter or just dodge.

Approaching with guard or creeping closer with dodge is typically the smartest way to do it determine what this demon is going to do.

Here is an example of combat:

• Player attacks Kodama.
  
• Kodama attacks player, but player uses guard.
  
• Kodama cannot attack momentarily.
  
• The player uses attack to knock back and damage the kodama.
  
• The Kodama is stationary.
  
• The player uses spin, expecting the Kodama to use counter.
  

• The Kodama’s counter is broken and is knocked back.

.::USEFUL ITEMS::.
To use an item double click it in your inventory, or click once to select the item and then press the Use button to the bottom left of your inventory.

Revival Orbs

• When a party member or a demonic companion dies they can be resurrected by using Revival Items and Skills. Skills such as Recarm can be used on a fallen teammate or demon, items like Revival Orb has the same effect.

Ointment

• Items such as Ointments can be used to regain 30 HP when injured. It is used the same way as revival orbs with the exception that you cannot target it on another player

Chakra Gum

• Chakra Gums are used to restore 10 MP, it is used the same way as an ointment.

Magic Stone

• Magic Stones are used to restore 30 HP and 15 MP to your summoned Demon partner.

Medical Powder

• Medical Powders are used to heal yourself and those around you.

Traesto Stone

• Traesto Stones are used to teleport your character back to it’s Home Point. Your default Home Point is Virtual Battle, but can be set in any City or Dungeon as well.

Expertise
Expertise allows you to customize your character however you see fit. It’s one aspect in Megaten that contains one of the greatest degrees of customization next to demons.

Expertise is one of the most complex things in Megaten. How you work on Expertise will determine how well your character can function. Your character’s strengths and abilities are essentially dominated by how well you work on your expertise.

Raising Expertise

As a player, you start off with 16000 points of expertise. Every 10 levels gives you 1000 points. At the moment, the level cap is 93, so the maximum expertise you have is 26000.

1 Class = 1000 Points
1 Rank = 100 Points

Using the default keyboard configuration, if you hit H you will pull up your expertise.

• 1.) MAX is how much expertise you have available. TOTAL is how much expertise you have used up.
• 2.) This Green Square opens up what is available in that expertise.
• 3.) This shows the amount of classes and ranks in one expertise.
• 4.) This bar displays how much you have raised in one rank toward the next one.
• 5.) This tick is on, allowing the expertise to rise.
• 6.) This tick is off and the expertise will not rise.
• 7.) This shows a numerical value for the bar, displaying how many points you have in between ranks.

As you can see from this example, Attack is highlighted. This has Two Classes which means 2000 points have been invested in the Expertise Highlighted. Now, looking at Attack, you see a beside it with an arrow pointing up. If this is displaying, then that expertise will grow. If you see a , like the one with Spin, the expertise will not grow.

Expertise will only increase if you perform the actions in that expertise repeatedly (ex. Using Attack on enemies will slowly raise the Attack Expertise).

In order to learn the skills from expertise, click the next to them. That will pull up what you can learn from the expertise.

Chain Expertise[

Chain Expertise spawns from raising specific types of expertise. These Chain Expertise are incredibly useful and could be the make it or break it factors in one’s build.

• 1.) This shows what Chain Expertise you have unlocked.
• 2.) These are the required skills in that expertise and their respective class and levels.
• 3.) This displays how many points that specific Expertise contributes to the Chain Expertise.
• 4.) This shows how much each point is worth in one Expertise in relation to the Chain Expertise

This is what the chain expertise tab looks like. Each chain expertise has specific requirements that you must meet to unlock it. By raising each required expertise, the chain expertise also increases as well. The Class and Ranks within the chain expertise do NOT count toward your total Expertise.

Here is a list of the Expertise currently available in Megaten. Clicking on their respective names will link you to the Wiki article, which contains a more in-depth information on each one as well as the requirements for each Chain Expertise.

Arms Maker: Allows the creation of guns by using materials obtained by deconstructing items.
Curse of the Wretched: Allows the user to throw a variety of debilliating status ailments and debuffs on an enemy.
Demolition Dasher: A powerful spell-based rush.
Enhancement: Allows the ability to throw down powerful support and healing spells on allies.
Magic Bullet: Allows the user to throw down a variety of status ailments on enemies while allowing gun shots augmented with elements.
Retaliation: A Melee chain expertise that allows for a variety of weapon-based support toggles with different effects.
Sharpshooter: Allows the user to deal increased damage to specific demonic classes.
Swordsmith: Allows the creation of melee weapons by using materials obtained by deconstructing items.
Synthesizer: Allows the user to crystallize and fuse demons into various pieces of equipment.

Finalizing Your Expertise

Now that you know a bit about Expertise, you’ll notice that when you raise your expertise that it’s a little messy. Everything won’t stop at exactly Rank 1 or Class 1. To remedy this, there are items available to perfect your build.

There are two items available to players below level 30 and can be bought with Macca in the magic shop. If “Cannot use” appears on the item, then the player is too high of a level to use the item.

This item reduces your expertise by one Rank. If it’s at Rank 2 with 54 points, it’ll just go down to Rank 1. The AP equivalent of this that can be used for all levels is called a Lethe’s Water.

This item reduces your expertise by one class. The AP equivalent of this that can be used for all levels is called a Lethe’s Bottle.

.::DEMONS & DEMONIC FUSION::.

The world of Megaten is widely inhabited by creatures called Demons. Demons can be friendly companions or nasty foes. Demons are a very important part of gameplay in Shin Megami Tensei Imagine. You can use Demon partners to attack, heal, buff your characters, and many other things.

Demonic Negotiation

• In order to contract new Demon partners, you must go through a negotiation process with them. Negotiation is done in two ways: by Talking or Threatening. Both ways work very similarly.
• You are only allowed to contract new Demon partners that are at or below your current level.
• To determine whether a wild Demon is above or below your current level you can take a look at what color the Demon’s emblem is. The emblem is located to the left of the demons name.
• If the emblem is red that means that the Demon you’re facing is above your current level.
• If the emblem is blue the Demon is at or below your current level.
• You must make several attempts to contract a Demon using Talk or Threaten.

Friendship Levels

Demons will have a certain bond with you depending on how well you treat them. This is called a Friendship Level. The higher your Demon partner’s Friendship Level is, the more powerful your Demon partner’s Skills are. The order of Friendship Levels is as follows (on a scale from worst to best):

Wishes Death – Looking to Betray – Used Like a Slave – Contracted – Good Friends – Trusting – Open Hearts – Linked By Fate

Ways to increase your Demon partner’s Friendship Level:

• Leveling up your Demon partner
• Using the “Care” Command on it (found under the Skills/Commands Menu, usable every 20 hours in real-time)
• Using Friendship Level increasing items (such as Gift Melons)

Ways your Demon partner’s Friendship Level can decrease:

• Allowing your Demon partner to fall in combat
• Killing wild Demons of the same species as your Demon partner (i.e. killing Pixies while you have a Pixie summoned)
• Using the “Mooch” command (found under the Skills/Commands Menu, usable every 3 hours in real-time)

Demonic Fusion
This image has been resized. Click to view the full Size Image.
Another way of gaining new Demon partners in Shin Megami Tensei Imagine is by way of a process called Demonic Fusion.

• Demonic Fusion takes place in the Cathedral of Shadows. Demonic Fusion requires you to have two demons available to merge into one new demon altogether. The resulting demon will have Skills from the original two demons your merged together. Some Demons are only available to you through Demonic Fusion. This allows you to create new Demons whenever you want with custom Skills.
• Demonic Fusion costs macca in order to attempt.
• There is a certain percentage a Demonic Fusion will succeed. Upon failure the only thing lost will be any macca that is required to perform the fusion.
• Not all demons are able to be fused together, as fusion is dependent on what species the Demons you fuse are.
• You can plan out fusion by downloading a Fusion Tool, which is highly recommended. This helps to simplify the fusion system.
• Another form of Demonic Fusion is known as Triangle Fusion. This requires three players with one Demon each that has a friendship level at Good Friends or higher. The player hosting the Triangle Fusion receives the resulting Demon. Some Demons are only available to you through Triangle Fusion, and most require a Plug-In to fuse.

For more advanced information on Demons check out the following Megaten Wiki Entries:
