Pay Attention to the Phases of Kagutsuchi for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster

Pay Attention to the Phases of Kagutsuchi

The post-apocalyptic world of Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remastered is dominated by Kagutsuchi, a celestial being in the center of the Vortex World who radiates energy that affects several mechanics in the game. Kagutsuchi acts like a lunar cycle that starts from the New Moon Phase, eventually becoming a Full Moon, then reverting back to a New Moon.

During the New Moon Phase demons are easier to negotiate with and more likely to join your party. This will change when it is the Full Moon Phase, during this time demons will be more aggressive and less likely to negotiate or let you run from a battle. The fuller Kagutsuchi is, the more damage demons will do during battle and your chances of getting a rare item from a treasure chest will increase substantially. You will also be able to sacrifice more demons at the Cathedral of Shadows to increase the power of the demons you are fusing. You can keep track of the different phases of Kagutsuchi by looking in the top-left corner of your screen, and it is important that you do so.
