Shin Megami Tensei : Strange Journey Redux low level challenge with impossible difficulty. i'm doing it for fun lets see how far this challenge will be.

rules :
- All exp gained are minimize from boss, forced encounter(for gaining specific forma)
- Any kind of fusion is forbidden
- Password will be used to summon demon that can't be recruited or hard to recruit, or just for easy way to collect forma and bypass dungeon without me going crazy.
- all subapp is fair game except white album.

[INTRODUCTION]
sorry for the lag in the beginning. its just citra still not optimized in my pc.

well lets me say this first. this battle is run killer. i can't kill ouroboros II with convenient method. why ? because wave of death can kill any demon under 280 hp with PHYS RESIST. meaning that demon with no phys resist isn't usable and you only have few demon that you can use. and even if the demon can withstand wave of death you need lot of bead chain to keep them alive. AFAIK bead chain is farmable by negotiatiate with demon and satisfy their question which is pretty RNG involved and unreliable. also not all of phys resist demon CAN resist hama meaning that mahama can kill your party anytime. so how can i achieve this ? read all the description below.

[AI Behaviour]
she can only use 4 skill. wave of death, lightning, mahama, and disaster cycle. i don't know if its 100% true i find ouroboros always use disaster cycle in turn 6 and every 5-6 turn. it deals around 200 damage ? and around 80-150 if ouroboros -3 attack.

next is wave of death ? it deals around 500-600 damage to demon with no phys resistant and around 250 with phys resistant. debuffing her doesn't fix how big wave of damage damage is.

thunder is actually pretty tame. and there is lot of demon that strong against thunder that we can use.

mahama is mahama

[GAME Mechanics]
ok first of all i don't think this is cheat. idk if most of you already know or not. but RNG in strange journey redux kinda fixed because of quick save. meaning that you can abuse that to know what boss attack will be. but not only that i found a way to make ouroboros only use thunder attack and ignore wave of death. this is pretty useful and i believe this is the only way to beat ouroboros in this kinda restriction.

ok how does this works? lets say there are 4 allies. and their turn are
agi,warcry,agi,agi
lets say ouroboros will use wave of death then you get game over.
lets reload. and try something.
lets say for some reason you try again to input
agi,warcry,agi,agi
but for some reason you missclick agi into bufu and cancel it and click agi. the game decide that ouroboros will use different moveset. idk if this only ouroboros thing or every boss in strange journey works like this.

this mechanics make ouroboros kinda beatable. i'll try this as last resort for mem aleph and shekinah.

[LINEUP]
the perfect lineup if you abuse the game mechanics should be demon with thunder resist and fire spell.

[Strategy]
if you read the game mechanics section and understand. this is my turn order. i just write it everytime ouroboros use lightning.

fire-►arm,raku,agi,agi = lightning
fire,change[shiisaa],agi,agi = lightning
gun-►fire,warcry,agi,agi = lightning
fire,warcry-►att, agi, agi = lightning
bead[neko],zionga-►att,agi,agi = lightning
brave,att,agi,agi = disaster
fire,att,def-►agi,agi = lightning
bead-►bead chain,att,agi,agi =lightning
fire,att,agi,agi = lightning
fire,att,agi,agi =lightning
