Shin Megami Tensei V: How to defeat Boss Pale Rider - Game Guide

 

In the DLC "Return of the True Demon", you will have the opportunity to face the nine Cursed as well as a last boss who will surely be very happy to the regulars of the series. Similar to Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, the Cursed appear in certain places and you will have to face them to advance to the next Cursed. So here is a detailed guide on how to beat Pale Rider.

Pale Rider uses Call of the Ma l at the start of the fight to summon two level 54 Loa , and will summon them again when you kill one. As with all other fights against the Cavaliers, it is still interesting to try to kill one per turn for the same reasons: on the one hand, it reduces the number of base turns at the start of the enemy's turn. and, most importantly, it forces Pale Rider to waste a turn using Evil Call and summon them again.

Here, killing at least one Loa should clearly be a priority as they can use Debuff , which will make the fight much harder than it should be. Since they are weak in the Light , come with a demon who knows Hamaon to get rid of them quickly ( Domination is still effective around level 57). Also imperatively come with Dekaja in case a Loa manages to use Debuff.

For the rest of your demons, the challenge will be to find a demon that is capable of having good Fire Potential to exploit Pale Rider's fire weakness, without being weak to his Mabufudyne . For this, Cybele and Chimera perfectly fulfill this role and will be able to inflict good damage since they are very offensive demons. Also consider putting Me Patra on one of your demons to counter Toxic Cloud . You especially don't want to stay poisoned because if he uses Pestilence afterwards, you probably won't survive.
