"Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne" - Mother Harlot Quiz

Answer: Sakahagi

Sakahagi being defeated will restore all of the Fairies in the area to their prior state. Enhanced security in the area will prompt Mother Harlot to finally enter a part of Yoyogi Park the player can access.

Answer: Mother Harlot is immune to Physical

Using Focus-boosted Physical skills can very easily cause the player to kill themselves and end the fight on the spot, as Mother Harlot repels Physical. The usage of HP to use a Physical skill combined with the reflected damage will almost certainly end the fight in a very abrupt defeat.

Answer: Focus

Mother Harlot has an enormous Attack stat, to the point where even a Focus-boosted basic attack could one shot any of the player's units. Focus cannot be negated by Dekaja either, so the player must maintain some semblance of defense buffs or offense debuffs on Mother Harlot if they don't want to get steamrolled by her Focus boosted attacks.

Answer: Charm

This is the main course as far as fighting Mother Harlot goes. Defending against Charm is extremely important, especially due to her repel against Physical attacks. The player is advised to come with teammates immune or at least resistant to Ailments. Either way, carrying plenty of Dis-Charms on hand will be needed as well.

Daisoujou's immunity to Curse, Ailments and ability to cure Charmed teammates with Prayer makes him an exceptionally strong choice for his ability to peerlessly deal with Mother Harlot's Death Lust.

Answer: Heal to self

Beast Roar is deliberately a move Mother Harlot will not use unless the fight reaches a 25th turn. It does not end the fight per se, but it will heal Mother Harlot for most, if not all of her health and likely deal a lot of damage. It will make it difficult for the player to come back from, and to then eventually claim victory.

Answer: Dekunda

Curiously, she will actually not use Dekunda at all until she's at 75% HP or lower. Perhaps this was a means of tricking the player into unloading MP debuffing her before really starting to attack her.

Answer: Electric

This is particularly annoying, as quite a lot of Electric resistant demons in this game, such as Thor or Take Mikazuchi, mainly use Physical skills off their higher Strength scores, which won't do any good here due to Mother Harlot's Physical immunity. Given that she is a late game boss, this was most likely done deliberately by Atlus.

Answer: Seven

In all, Mother Harlot is immune to Light, Dark, Curse, Mind, Ailments, Repels Physical and Drains Electric. Given how critical immunities are in this game, this alone without even considering anything else can make Mother Harlot incredibly valuable.

Answer: 69

This is a whole eight levels after the previous Fiend, Black Rider. Of course, there is a noticeable uptick in (at least, defensive) quality to compensate.

Answer: Tyrant

Given how Mother Harlot is very frequently referred to as being proud, dominant, subjugating, as someone who has been endlessly lusted for, a fusion such as Tyrant makes perfect sense.

Fortunately, the Tyrant line has a litany of useful skills Mother Harlot could inherit. Abaddon can give her Attack All to pair with Focus, or Repel Ice to further bolster her defensive might. Loki could pass her Mana Gain to further her staying power, or Mabufudyne if that coverage would be desired. Finally, the player could go the extra mile and acquire higher levelled Tyrants, as Mother Harlot is certainly worth the extra legwork. In that regard, Aciel could give her Victory Cry to give her the ultimate longevity for longer dungeon crawls.
