Shin Megami Tensei 5: How To Beat Abdiel (Nahobino)
Shin Megami Tensei 5 has never been a pushover. Even gimmicky bosses like Arkangel Abdiel posed a unique threat that could leave even the hardiest Nahbino weeping in the sand. If you thought Abdiel was a pain before, then Abdiel in her true Nahobino form will be akin to a fiery nightmare.
