WELL DONE!! I did the Solo Lavenza No DLC challenge myself two years ago, and you're the first person I've seen successfully do it since then (there were two before me). It took me 10 hours of grinding the fight for the RNG I needed, and I used every Persona available to me. I can only imagine how long this must have taken with just these three. Congratulations, my guy! :)
Idk why, but listening to the sound effects from p5 just make me relaxed. I'm not even watching, just listening. Love the little edits, though. Rip yoshizawa lmao

Wow, you are truly a trickster! Great work on beating this insane challenge. If I understand it correctly, burn was the key for surviving that phase, right?
@@justjay9995 It's to provoke Lavenza to aim for a Technical Hit. Technicals function similarly to hitting a weakness or landing a Critical, but the key difference is that you can only land a Technical under certain conditions. The condition in this case was using a Nuclear attack on a Burned enemy. If I wasn't burned she would have no Technical to aim for and would probably cast Tetrakarn, ending the run on the spot.
Is her Tetrakarn boosted and pierces resistances or something?, so you can't just resist and be done with it, or is it that she would use it her every second move, making her invulnerable? Also is Tetrakarn the magic or physical reflecting one?
@@vulthurmir2478 During Phase 3 you MUST land at least one Crit. each turn to proceed. If she cast Tetrakarn (Repels Physical), Joker alone cannot remove the barrier and land a critical in the same turn, effectively sealing your fate.

6:18 You were so lucky you got inflicted with Burn. Plus the fact you had an accessory equipped with Fortify Spirit (decreases the chance of being inflicted with ailments) made this solo run next to impossible. I'm assuming this was the phase that makes or breaks the solo run.
Usually is. I remember this taking days to complete, and there were many times I considered calling it quits. At the same time, I knew deep down it was something that could be done, and if anyone was going to do it it'd probably have to be me. That was then though - If I were to take another crack at it I'm sure I could optimize it further and remove a lot of RNG.
Speaking of Joker's pistol, can it still pierce Tetrakarn with MAX Tower rank or is it not viable to knock Lavenza down with his pistol? I understand it was used for the second phase for freezing & technical hit.
I am genuinely surprised Atlus allowed ailments into the SUPERBOSS of all fights. It almost makes up for the shtick they pulled in P2 with Philemon and Armageddon, Elizabeth's rules in P3 and the banning of the Omnipotence Orb in P4.
@@TrueXTrickster yeah i looked that up after posting. Quick question: does lavenza go Almighty if you bring personas that are completely immune to her attacks? I know alot of SMT bosses like Zeus and Shiva from SMT 5 and the party fights from Answers will Megi spam if you have nulls/makarakarn.
@@ogre589 iirc, the twins don’t ban omnipotent orb, or if you have any nulling skills on your personas, and i believe same applies to lavenza, but you wouldn’t be able to fulfill her requirements with just a repel all persona
How did you surfive Concentrate/Megidoleon? That should've Destroyed you? Could you pls give me the details? I would like to do this myself one day. (Also I believe is a way cooler song for this fight)
@@TrueXTrickster lol, i beat her not to long ago. Still huge thanks for telling me this! Such a dificuld boss to take down. Had to really build my most op team. PS. Love your video's
Not Every Word Needs To Be Capitalized In A Sentence Like This. Just the first word of each sentence should have its first letter capitalized, unless it's a proper noun, like a name or title.
It’s a technical bait for Lavenza, it’s like you were weak against nuke and psy, she will prioritize to exploit your weakness or in this case she prioritize that she can deal a technical over use her tetrakarn.
Technical bait, since you would want to follow up on an ailment by doing Technical damage, and since enemies are coded to go for Technical Damage, being burned and countering the attacks makes lavenza take extra damage
My memory's a bit hazy, but... If I recall Lavenza resists magic during that phase, including Ice. This is relevant because Ice resistant enemies (and allies) are less prone to getting froze. By removing that resistance we greatly increase our chance of inflicting Freeze - which is vital for the run. ...Conversely, those with an Ice weakness are more prone to getting froze. The same is true for Burn and Shock. This is a little known fact, and I'm not even sure if the concept exists outside of P5, but... Did that answer your question?
@@TrueXTrickster I didn't know that the various elemental breaks influenced burn/freeze/shock chances. The more you know. Yes, it answered my question. Thank you for your time.
@lavistalimited4747 It'd be more accurate to say that your affinity to an element influences your chances. If resistant enemies have a low chance of being inflicted, and weak enemies have a high chance, then being neutral to an element gives you about a medium chance. The Break skills on their own don't have any direct influence on ailments. Using a Break skill on an enemy who is already neutral to that element will not increase your odds by any means, if that makes sense.
@@TrueXTrickster Oh, gotcha. Yeah that does make a lot of sense. Medium is better than low and you want that freeze, I never thought to use the breaks like that. That's good information.

GG but the real question is, how many tries did you need 1,2 or a number that is higher than i can imagine
I lost count.
Understandable… But you didn’t turn back and won in the end.
So, would this be the hardest fight in the persona series to do? A solo fight against Lavenza?

Awesome video! also, how did you freeze her with the pistol?
It's a gun custom from Iwai iirc. You can use shock or ice element on joker's gun for technicals
Old comment, but also, the Ice Break on Satanael helped, me thinks.
Speaking of Joker's pistol, can it still pierce Tetrakarn with MAX Tower rank or is it not viable to knock Lavenza down with his pistol? I understand it was used for the second phase for freezing & technical hit.
