Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne got me fucked up

Forum: Games

I'm stuck on the infamous battle with matador, anyone familiar with the game knows what I'm going through rn.

ANY ADVICE?????? My entire party nulls force but that andalucia attack or whatever its called keeps whiping out my whole party in almost a single turn.... I am using buff/debuff skills but it's pointless. 

Also, I see the game being called smt 3 Nocturne but I have a physical copy that calls it smt 3 lucifers call. Any reason for why?

Omg hey! I am a big SMT/Megaten fan :D
For the first half of the fight, he will focus on debuffing you, and in the second half he will focus on buffing himself (past a certain HP threshold ) It never hurts to over-level yourself a little bit. This fight is a total bitch! It's probably the second worst mainline SMT game fight behind the Minotaur in IV. 

Found this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Megaten/comments/130yz05/update_full_matador_guide_for_nocturne/ it's an overly-safe way to fight, but an ok plan nonetheless

Also, it's called Nocturne everywhere else but Europe! ATLUS never really said why- but there was already a game called Nocturne that was out. However, people will probably assume you mean the SMT Nocturne if you talk about the game online. Also, Lucifer plays a crucial role in the story as he does most SMT games, but I won't spoil anything! :D

I hope you enjoy the game! Nocturne is probably my second favorite game of all time (With SMT IV being first) Make sure to be cautious of your decisions, as they can greatly alter which ending you get ^_^
