”Before leaving Ginza make sure to acquire Angel and Chronzon as your demon ally.”
I have no idea why you’re telling people to ”make sure” to acquire a Choronzon, since it isn’t possible to communicate with them and thus not recruit them by any normal means. The only way to do so is if you’re extremely lucky with RNG and a Choronzon chooses to approach you itself, but for most people, we’re probably talking hours of farming to make that happen.
Thanks sooooo much
