Can You Beat Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne Without Any Demons?
Ойындар
It's done... IT'S FINALLY DONE. MY BABY IS DONE.
That's right; it's time to answer the question: Can you beat SMT Nocturne with no demons?
This was a journey that last my entire year, and I'm happy to have it finally out. I wanted to have this out much sooner, but I couldn't get the script into a state I actually liked until now. But after the other Nocturne videos I've done, I feel satisfied with this. So, here it is!
Please leave a like or subscribe if you liked the video; I bled for this video and this challenge, so more than any other video, it would mean the world to me.

You kicked ass man, that's some dedication. Also, German here. Freikugel comes from a German opera and while it hilariously translates to Free Ball, it also translates to Free Bullet, since kugel means both. The Freikugeln were a set of seven bullets that never missed their targets thanks to a deal with the devil, with the target of the seventh bullet being chosen by the devil.

For such a small KZreadr, I'm utterly impressed by the amount of effort and quality put into this video. The script was sharp, and aside from the boring montage with the bishaman guy (still very impressive!), I was hooked the whole way through.

The insane methods and skill and luck you did with the complete stubbornness to push yourself so far. It’s impressive and inspiring. Good job! Wish you luck with whatever more you take on!

This was a fantastic Challenge run video. Definitely one of the best I've seen. The comedy was on point, the explanations about the challenge itself, the gameplay, and just about everything was great. I would definitely love to see more videos like this, maybe a Persona 3 /Persona 5 run? Now that would be interesting.
Never thought someone could one up nyarly with his nocturnal challenge, I was proven wrong.
Just found this video in my recommended and I'm so disappointed it didn't pop up sooner, what an amazing well constructed video and the fact it hasn't blown up yet at least some what makes me lose further faith in this platform. Keep it up man this was nothing short of incredible I was sad to see it was over.
ik this has probably been said a lot, but this is one of if not the best challenge run vids on the site, if the audio and resolution (of nocturne) was better it'd be perfect
I may be late but this is an amazing video man! This is genuinely a new favorite of mine keep it up!

By philemon this was intense massive round of applause for this absolute unit doing a challenge run like this and on a more or less blind play through of the game the absolute legend
The fact you used the Hoenn Gym battle theme for Trumpeter is absolute gold
"This fight is like playing blackjack" "While the dealer is playing texas hold em, and you need to find a way to beat his hand five times in a row. Or, he'll shoot you in the face and steal your $%^&%#$ wallet." "Counting cards is not an option; IT IS A REQUIREMENT" this is a lot of effort and thought to write one joke, and I respect that 🤣
"I don't have time for new game+" Trumpeter.exe activated
Man, the script was hella perfect. 😂 I look forward to more of your SMT content just for that!
You got yourself a new sub! Good job and I can't wait for a new video.
This was an excellent challenge run, it was actually fun to watch unlike a lot of them, good job!
Man this is insane. That last bishamon and trumpeter had me hooked and dying of laughter.
I just realized that you guessed Tails to Dante's coin flip. It kind of makes me wonder a couple of things: 1. How many people failed that coin flip? 2. How many people know that the result is not random? 3. How many people know that the coin is double sided...which ties into... 4. How many people have played DMC2? The revelation that the coin is double sided is such a Dante thing, it fits his personality perfectly. On one hand, I can't recommend people play DMC2...because it was horrible. On the other hand, I feel bad for the people that don't know Dante that well.
Incredible video even for me, someone who never played Nocturne! Amazing job!
Just discovered your channel through this video, and my god you have balls of titanium to even attempt this. Looking forward to you doing something similar for SMT V (Nahobino only, Aogami Essences only).
