Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster Recommended Article List

The recommendation for when to start this is also wrong. You can beat the first Kalpa when you finished Assembly of Nihilo, the second after you beat the Prison, the third after the Obilisk and the 4th and 5th when you are able to defeat the 4 horsemen. Though you also skilled your MC wrong so I can see why you might have trouble.
This guide doesnt have the second deathstone ifyou want to unlock all the fiends
on step 20 there is a discrepancy, it’s not possible to go 3 tiles north, the first tile in that direction drops you down and not where the item is. Also in following this guide I’ve been getting different items than the guide says I’ll get.
Also when it says go north it will say “compass west” in different colors… Why not just say west? It’s not helpful to have 2 different directions like that
This guide absolutely sucks. Why tf is it so inconsistent with directions? What’s wrong with left right backwards and forwards? Just cause you’re facing a direction doesn’t mean it’s north! The compass is in the game for a reason! I’m honestly better off just playing the game with no guide.
The directions are fine, they say north, south, etc from the direction your facing. If it says go North but you’re not facing north then turn north genius, you can’t be this stupid
