Then stealing Sae’s heart makes so much sense. Playing through the game I was (very stupidly, I admit) confused why the Sae in interrogation was so much different than the Sae we see with Makoto and at work, and I guess that’s it.
Every conversation he has in that mask I expect him to take someone's eye out.
I love the music in this dungeon
I want him to smurf me with his nose tbqh
Is part of it in Japanese, or am I just mishearing? It ends up sounding like Simmish, honestly, but I like it too. MUCH MUCH better than the last dungeon. So far I liked the basement music in the bank and Futaba's palace music best. This is fun, though.
Oh no, it's all in English. It's just completely unintelligible. xD
What seems to be the issue?
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I can’t do it. I’m completely smurfing lost in there. Following the left wall—the oldest maze trick—doesn’t work. Hiding from enemies is really difficult, so at best I’m triggering a normal battle, and most of them in there are two shotting me.
Its incredibly frustrating and not fun. I spent over two hours on it last night.
What Personas are you using, and who is your team? Chances are you may just need to upgrade your Personas with the MC since that tends to "fix" most difficulty spikes. From the looks of the enemy layout, all but three enemies are weak to at least one element, so any team build should work as long as the MC has easy access to the missing elements from the rest of the party.
Of anything, try to run from any of the Nordic demons (Valkyrie, Norn, and Skadi) as they have no weaknesses and have some powerful attacks to mess you up, so you'll need to focus on using defenses to stay alive against them like resistance to Physical or Bufu/Garu magic. If these gals are giving you issues, try to run instead.
You might also just be rushing things and may simply need to slow down and be far more cautious so enemies don't get the jump on you. This section is kind of annoying but is thankfully the worst her dungeon has to offer. If you do need to make some Personas cause you've been slacking, I highly advise creating a Rangda with Zio skills (or at least try to recruit one in the dungeon) as well as a Persona with Psychic abilities and possibly resistance/immunity to Zio and physical skills. This will pretty much help with the section after the Maze of Darkness.
For the maze part, just keep using Thief Vision to see your way around and be mindful of grates cause there are at least two points where you'll be blocked and have to use a detour to get around the barrier. Overall, see if you can't upgrade your Personas and just play the dungeon extra cautiously so you don't let it frustrate you.

Yeah have thief vision on all the time - it makes navigation easier and helps you spot the grates that you need to get through.
I agree it is a terrible part of the game but once everything goes right it is only a 10-15 minute section. If you need to watch a walkthrough on Youtube or something to do it - do. If you can endure it there are no other areas this bad.
One tip from me: make as many characters as possible immune to Fear for this section. One of the Shadows in there has 1 move that inflicts the entire party with Fear, and another that insta-kills anyone afflicted by Fear.
Well, after a good night's sleep, a bit of sobering up, and a lot of calming down, I'm back at it. Give into temptation, indeed.
Fwiw, I've kept my Persona's upgraded and have skills of all elements! And I have been using thief vision. I'm not sure what exactly isn't working for me, as several guides say the same thing and I've been doing that--like I said, I started doing the left side of the maze thing before I even stooped to using a guide. This is only the second time in the game I've done so, the first being Futaba's palace when I unlocked a switch in a sarcophagus but couldn't find it. So I'm incredibly frustrated that I'm failing at this.
Hopefully being sober and rested helps some.
