Level Up your Demons to Evolve them for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster

Level Up your Demons to Evolve them

Not all demons can be recruited or fused and in order to complete your Demon Compendium you will need to evolve them. First though you will need to access the Demon Compendium which is unlocked when you complete the first few story quests in Ginza and the Great Underpass of Ginza. Once Collector Manikin gives you the letter that allows passage to Ikebukuro where the Demon Compendium will be available at the Cathedral of Shadows.

Any demons you have recruited will automatically be registered into the Demon Compendium, if your demon has different skills from those existing on record you will be given the option to overwrite them. You can use the item Divining Water to tell if a demon is capable of evolving. If the demon is able to evolve into a new form, it must learn all of it's hidden skills from leveling up, and the protagonist's level must at least be 4 less than the resultant demon's. When a demon is close to hitting the right level to evolve, a message will appear on screen saying changes are visible on their body.
