Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey Redux FINAL Boss Shekinah (NEUTRAL) [EXPERT] 

Actually she is the avatar of YHVH, since they did say to not interfere with the god of law's creation, they'll just let him go. But then again the great will and YHVH might be the same being in smt though.

​@@miyujiperez3612YHVH is sometimes referred to as The Great Will

​@dzigayu4944 Didt Smt4 Apoc establish that the Great Will is trying to get rid of YHVH with messiah or did I interpret that incorrectly?

​@@kidhavii That's the Axiom, a different entity from the Great Will

@@SEGAEnjoyer_2008 Ooooooooo ok thanks

Pretty much every plant on Demeter was made wilted when she healed Shekinah. It's a very good detail to show the goddess of harvest is dying.

I noticed she has blood coming from her mouth too. Easy to miss.

that was fucking discusting i hate energry drain

He's literally DOOM Guy. What did you expect ?

Nihil Ego that made me wheeze, bless your soul

He actually is doom guy, doom guy but less angry and can summon demons

Space marine is actually pretty weak campered to other protagonists. Aleph, hideto, nanashi, Abel, raidou, demi fiend, Nahobino, Hibiki, serph, seraph, devil's colosseum protagonist, Akira and more protagonists can beat him easily.

@@jackour8167 What? More than half of what you listed he can beat their ass. Of course, him alone is weak but with a demonica (and a gun) he can tear most of them. That just shows how powerful that suit is because it never stops getting stronger.

JanusHoW They reffer to him in Apocalypse but Atlus change his name in the english release to Axion, now he back to being name Great Will

The great will is not yhwh. They are enemies

It's pretty strongly indicated in SMT III Nocturne that the Great Will (or the Axiom, if you use SMTIV Apocalypse's version) is the real "God". YHVH is an _aspect_ of the Great Will - a dogmatic, power-hungry aspect, but an aspect nonetheless. Perhaps YHVH is akin to Ialadboth or Demiurge.

Actually, the Great Will and Axiom are different from each other. It's probably a bit more apparent if you know their Japanese names; not only are the names different, but the names also have very different meanings from each other.

dragonfire5000 Oh, I ran into a comment of your's on another video just today that posited the same thing. Unfortunately, I can't remember which video, nor all of the points I made on my response. TL;DR for that one, though: I believe the names are not appreciably different and serve mainly to distinguish the 'Great Will' (大いなる意思) as the aspect associated with YHVH (who I added was akin to an extension, or limb, for the Axiom before separating), from the 'Axiom' (大いなる理) as the complete whole, rather than the names being of two utterly distinct entities. Especially given that they share the same characters for 'Great', so even if the 'Great Will' uses the characters for "philosophical will" and 'Axiom' uses the character for the Neo-Confucian concept of "Li" (which I boiled down to 'order', in the sense that all of reality has a set 'it-is-what-it-is' structure to it - basically translating the Japanese name literally to 'Great Order', take that with a grain of salt), they both imply a concept so similar that, in context, they're likely not MEANT to be separate entities. In a sense, JanusHoW's mention of YHVH being the Demiruge is correct, as YHVH separated from the Axiom to covetously gain control over the universe - perhaps going so far as to use humans as the loophole preventing the Axiom from being more direct in eradicating Him. (But that leads into conjecture.) I know I also brought up the idea in the previous comment that YHVH riffed off of the "Great Will" title as an arrogant declaration of being the one true God, and that the title could be attributed either to YHVH or to the Axiom proper, but it's likely been YHVH for most of the series, with Kagutsuchi instead one of the exceptions referencing the Axiom. Etc.

Oh I-know-hee-who

Me-hee-too!

me three-hee ho! the-hee best demon one could ask for, ho!

YHVH YHVH YHVH YHVH YHVH

Her weakness is based on which fruit she used

Domo origato mister roboto

Not like he's the voice of God or anything.

@@EternityVoid_ so God is a fax machine?

@@krisgeno8049 Yes

YHVH is faxing what he wants to say.

that only really happens in this game.

@@christopherbravo1813 Happens in apocalypse,and even 2 to an extent.

@@bearandthebull2372 YHVH didn't really break down in the same way Shekinah did. his final words were warnings of the future, as opposed to Shekinah's lamentations for her failure and the destructive nature of mankind.

"Die for me!" is the best for farming, and her D. source alows you to make a demon to abuse it, I save it for endgame

She's the final boss of Law+ too

Actually, shekinah is the female avatar of YHVH

Wha? I thought she was supposed to represent the Holy Spirit. Yah-Vah is God, the Father.

She''s neither of those things, she represents "The Presence of God"

Funnily enough, yes. Which is just plain weird, considering the Demiurge and Metatron are in this game as well. I suppose next I'll be told Mem Aleph is an avatar of Lucifer... LOL (And yes, Louisa, I KNOW, geez)

The same goes for smt1 mc

"i will beat you with the power of demons and this gun i found"

​@@dandman9373 vernias reference?

And rocks Don't forget about all of the actual stones thrown in this video💀

Aleph did the same thing lmao

@@sock312 he didnt have the cool suit, tho :P

T-Universe Gamer you’re right he was too strong without it

He beat actual god whereas space marine beats an avatar of god

Sock ....and became God-The DoomSlayer

It is indeed an error I think. And yes, Lucifer made trolling everyone his job in this game since he is likely weakened or doesn't want to interfere.

AtlusUSA *Q U A L I T Y* localizations. Devil Survivor (DS version) is the best example.

Welp, at least its not "mistress jimenez"

@@gabrieldoyen692 doesn't want to interfere. The Strange Journey manga shows that Lucifer sees this all like some sort of movie, so direct interference would be ruining the show. However, he can play the part of the audience influencing the author. Hence his trolling stats being maxed.

@@cripplingdepression8067 Lucy-boy (or girl in this case) partakes in a little tomfoolery.

JC Little Demon Guns

Demi-Fiend of Time It's fun to see the protagonist sprite holding a gun like that against God/Shekinah... xD

Strange Journey is basically SMT meets Doom. Naoki is essentially another Doomguy who doesn’t rip and tear...

Nguyen Gia Khanh Of course he rips and tears. Well, he at least rips, what with using combat knives and such. Maybe he tears with his guns.

@@toastcrunch9387 Plus he essentially becomes Doomguy in the Neutral Ending lol.

To be honest, I felt better after seeing her dying like that. She used you, betrayed you, left you on your own after you did everything. And now, she is about to get killed by the reason for which she did all that, while showing signs of hesitation. Very pleasant if you ask me.

maximitus1 wait she did.... DAMMIT. Haagh this is what I get for trusting a loli in a smt game that I haven't played.... well there are many trustworthy adorable characters in other series. Whispers dammit atlus.

Yeah, I had a lot of faith in her as well since she saved you when you were literally dead. But regardless, she still did that in order to help Shekinah to create the world that they both wanted.

maximitus1 is there any trustable adorable characters in this series. Haru from P5 doesn't count.

No one can ever be trusted in a mainline SMT game.

But she forgot ABOUT the supereffectiveness of guns

héctor de la fuente garcía Yep. Shekinah: You can't kill God! Space Marine: *shoots*

Don't they always?

hjt091 I swear, endgame bosses are way too smug or way too insane in this franchise.

CRASHjester wasn't that the reason we love them

You bet he was

Once a law rep Always a law rep

Shekinah: 🌪🌪 Surt: 😍🤪

@@enderdrew14 Thor: *misses a few times* everyone: guys, a traitor! get him!

Thanks

FEAR THE GIANT FLOATING HEAD

To be fair, Shekinah caused me more game overs than YHVH ever did in any game.

@@WhiteFangofWar how many game overs did the Demiurge cause?

Lad, check the vids for new law and new chaos and you'll see that you're wrong, they just didn't include the battles in the recording.

@@buntado6 what

Is it because God is "I am that I am"...?

Avatar of the Great Will seems to adopt the forms of spherical shapes in general.

Why?

@@krisgeno8049 he's like, the right hand of god, and he's helping you kill it lol

@@DharcVasquez he probably assumed that Shekinah was going rogue when she proclaimed herself to be God, and decided to give this archangel gestalt the Lucifer treatment.

@@christopherbravo1813 the thing is that Shekinah IS God, or at least one of the Avatar of the Great Will, so basically the same as YHVH

@@DharcVasquez well YHVH apparently was an avatar of the Axiom, but that didn't stop him from going rogue. perhaps Shekinah intended to do the same?

Lazy

@@giornogiovannatheultimateb8553 this or Apocalypse?

@@christopherbravo1813 apocalypse

@@giornogiovannatheultimateb8553 ah. well, yeah I agree there. honestly the background works a lot better when used here.

Recycled Background lmao

Pretty sure she refers 'man' as human rather than the gender itself. But sure

@@frds_skce Wow you're right I should have made a joke about that.

Gee, i wonder where's the joke would be

No. Even if you take down all of its health, it'll hold on with 1 HP until Demeter shows up at the end of the turn.

@@finalsurvivor1 I hate that so much.

@@CamelotGaming yeah, right? like, fuck you atlus! why cant i cheat?!

Nope the Demeter healing is scripted

​@@finalsurvivor1 omegaevolution confirmed it

Having each demon with all 4 elements would lessen the struggle, as only coops can damage it on 2nd phase. Know what her change shifting does and what to expect, also the weakness, and when to expect her barrier reflect.

I'll keep trying, got the weakness written down just in case I forget. Thanks for your advice!

I beat her :) I was able to really hurt her when she was vunerable against gun damage.

@@noobtubephailsyou're goated. Congrats.

Its a sub app

A sub-app that allows the MC to participate in any coop

CRASHjester Axiom is the universe itself, is more a concept than a being, I don't think you can destroy a concept... without killing you and basically everything in the universe.

Buitronthecrazy Meh, fair point. At least have the Axiom take a human form or something so it can talk. I wanna hear the true god of the universe speak

At the very least, I'd want Stephen to train me. He's like the Axiom's freakin' Metatron.

Buitronthecrazy Not to mention that the Great Will/Axiom have the rouge avatars throughout multiverse.

Buitronthecrazy it's smt we will find a way

i'm pretty sure the last three and Zelenin fused to create Shekinah.

Actually the bad guys in this game (3 wise man) are (in spain) something with relation to Christmas, they follow a star and gave present to Jesus. I think the 3 faces in her are the three wise men

A S She's a fragment of YHVH, she's supposed to be creepy.

That's the point, dude.

Okay... But if the Sphinx in Egypt comes to life or Drakengard white singing statue is here irl, I'd just sit in the corner and cry like a sitting duck. 😩😭

A S Don't play Bayonetta; this game is filled with nightmarish """angelic""" statues.

Isn't she a floating head (or bust )

Quang Anh Cát Pretty sure she's available on New Game + if you don't have her already.

You need to do this route to unlock her, but its still NG+ as this is the final boss.

BuffMaister wait, she is actually playable?! Show proof, everyone thinks she is not.

lol what, search Google, you should find pictures dating weeks ago from the Japanese players. As soon as you have access to the Compendium on NG+ (even on Impossible difficulty), she shows up in the "Special Fusion" library.

BuffMaister Sweet, I guessed it. Welp, off to the FFRK Record Dungeons! *dashes* I'M COMING, ELARRA!

Maybe it's the buff amounts? Shekinah's Preening does give her 4 Luster Candies at once.

Kai Li Kwoh oh, I didn’t notice it was 4 luster candies. I would just drop her stats once with the almighty attack formally known as Jihad. Thanks!

Space marine kills god because she was a dick, not the first time someone kills god because of that...

Maoh *laughs in Aleph and Nanashi*

@@maohemu262 I'm pretty sure Shekinah was trying to become God instead of actually being God, judging from her dialogue.

@@christopherbravo1813 she's already a fragment/aspect of YHVH so i doubt it

@@Notaro_D_Ryogami I seriously doubt that is the case.

Oh no ! Our fertility goddess ! She's broken !

It's the final boss of this route in a Shin Megami Tensei game It has a ton of HP (about 9000+), and you can only do so much damage per turn Boss gets a free full-heal when you kill it once. Then erects a barrier near the end, slowing down the fight even more.

Firion316 That sound frustrating more than fun

It's an ultimate test of all the lessons the player has learned throughout the game. Shifting elemental weakness, rotating your demons to prevent total party annihilation, hoping your armor and weapons can keep up a manageable DPS output, managing your MP and items so you can heal and keep up the buff/debuffs. SMT games are more than just a game of power-leveling your way to victory. You are forced to *EARN* your ending (happy or no).

Its a final boss in an SMT game, this is hardly the hardest or longest one. That honor still belongs to Lucifer in SMT3: Nocturne

Yes yes. Doesnt mean its not frustrating. Mem Aleph is difficult but doesnt sound bullshit compare to this one

It's a 3ds game

@@agcz789 and strange journey is a ds game. Your point?

@@dannyd4339 @Danny D this is the remake not the DS version

@@agcz789 strange journey redux is also a 3ds game, so i dont understad this argument

@@tendatonda1634 it doesn't make much sense, but it sure does look cool. *must be a J J Abrams film*

Imagine if New Neutral has you fight a buffed up version of Demeter. No idea what could be done for New Chaos tho

i don't get it

Me either.

I don't think you know what those words mean.

Two different and conflicting things.

Being both woke and redpilled is the most Neutral thing to do.
