Should you decide to help Futsunushi drive out the invading demon, this is the quest to take. You will get some Strength Balms for you trouble and Futsunushi will join the group. His skills did not look impressive, but it is possible that he is simply good fusion material, I don't know and never will as I went for the other route this time. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy9qpa4CxIc
I managed to find a little time to record part of the next case, so here we go. The parts are broken up by when the game asks you to save, which is why two of them are here. If you notice, the first one happens only like 20 minutes in which is your exposition for the case, then we spend the next 70 minutes learning the players and pieces.
The context for this one is that we are researching the Eye at the local academy at the same time a murder takes place. Since the accused was with us at the time, Tyrion takes on the case and we need to unravel all of the chaos taking place at said academy.

With Daisoujou and the Hell Biker defeated, we now have the Candelabra we need to enter the Second Kalpa. Additionally, I do recommend doing this one ASAP because you need to get to the next Kalpa in order to get the next set of Fiends to appear. I don't know exactly why the devs chose to have you clear this one before the Four Horsemen set out, but I do find it annoying, and it is part of the reason why I hate the Second Kalpa. Pretty much after this, I won't be returning to the Labyrinth until ALL of the Fiends are defeated, so once I leave this place, we're not coming back for some time.
As for the Kalpa, this one has the gimmick of the Invisible Maze, which I find extremely obnoxious. There are 2 ways to enter the maze, and the thing itself is partitioned into 2 areas. Basically, each half has access to 2 doors and you have to use the other entrance to hit the other 2. Without knowing this, you can spend around an hour trying to explore this place in futility. And to further complicate things, this early in the game, you do not have a lot of resources to defend yourself and the enemies here seem to love to cast Mudo. I cannot stress enough how much I hate this place. Not even the later Kalpas are this bad, but hopefully this video can make navigating things a little easier for you should you find yourself here.
We have to take a detour from our journey to conquer the different gyms and investigate the three lakes around the Sinnoh region. We visit the two that we have already seen and deal with the goons there. However, to reach the last one, we have to cross more of Mt. Coronet and access the northern regions of Sinnoh. There, we have to deal with a gym leader who stands in our way. Luckily, on the way there, we happen to achieve the final evolution of a Pokemon that has been pulling heavy duty work.

There is a hidden quest here, but since it is just the one (I don't count Hide and Seek), I am not planning to cut it out from the video and upload it separately (unless requested soon). Other than that, we spend time in the amusement park and get to go on rides with people to generate affection. Then when we are out of tickets, the scenario comes to an end and we get ready for dinner, which plays out a little different than expected.
As for the two quests in the video, to summarize. We have to exterminate monsters at the beach and you only get one character with you. There are 6 enemies to scan, so I grabbed Noel for this one.
The other is playing Hide and Seek in the amusement park, which is fairly simple as the cat will hide on each screen once. When you know that, it becomes easier to track them down as process of elimination takes effect.

Cosette and her pirates stand in our way, and sadly, they haven't really gained any new tricks since their last beat down. The only thing they have going for them here is that they are spaced out enough that Icari can't instantly make short work of them, but instead Sola and Kryska can shred them instead. Overall, this should be a fairly simple fight and you need to be able to clear this with ease for the battles that are about to follow.

This variant is crazy. That is putting it very mildly. To explain, you sacrifice a card from your hand to give a surge of tokens to a spell, possibly funding even a powerful master spell to go off. With some relics, cantrips, or a specific spell, you can start a ridiculous loop here that can spiral out of control if a game goes too long.
To unlock this monster of a card, you need to be against Malador, reduce his HP to 0 or lower while he is on his normal side, all 4 master spells must be in Eldritch's play area with enough tokens to power them. Finally, just lose.
If you pay attention to the spells Malador has in play, you may be able to trap him on his normal side to make this very easy provided you have the DPS. In the event things just go horribly, remember that his flipped mask card can destroy problem spells and generate tokens to flip him, so make sure to abuse it. Eldritch can provide out of turn power plays to speed this along if needed.
Overall, a somewhat easy unlock that is just on the time consuming side. Also, remember that I triggered the first part of the Lantern Jack unlock here, so we will need to finish that tomorrow.

People are trying to determine if the Demeter sidequest is actually needed for the true ending, but it is starting to look like it is not. However, Baal is a very high level demon you can fuse in the end game provided you take him out here. He is vastly weaker now than he will be later, so you can bring him down without much trouble here.
Like with Khonsu, I think the devs had to cut where he was intended to be and they just slapped him somewhere, in this case, where we fought Belphegor earlier. When I am making my case later that Atlus shipped out an unfinished game, this is going to be one of the instances I use as my proof.

No combat to be found here. Instead, Bleublanc has struck and Olivert and Schera need to find the missing dress before the wedding. Don't worry, Olivert will be joining the fray later, but Schera needs to stay on the sidelines for other reasons...

It is only fitting for the shortest chapter to have the shortest scene, but this is probably my favorite of the bunch. During the Great Aja fight, if you can position him in the bottom right of the grid (to be clear: he does not need to be in the corner, just against the ropes of either the right or bottom), then wait for him to use his Bite, the elder Watanabe will intervene on your behalf, causing Aja to leave the ring to make an example out of him right in front of his son.
I don't know if it was ever confirmed, but I believe the trigger here is supposed to be a reference to the Tyson-Holyfield fight where Tyson bit him. I don't know if fans starting throw stuff at Tyson after it happened. Ultimately, this is just speculation on my part and maybe someone in the comments knows more.
