Chthonian Fiend (ゴウエンマ or 業焔魔, Gouenma) is a giant demon and one of the mascot characters of the game, commonly seen in packaging and merchandise. Since it has the power to dominate over groups of lesser demons, it is viewed as a commanding officer of sorts within the demon forces.

The protagonist first encounters the demon in a dream for their first battle tutorial. It is later fought again in the main story at the end of chapter 4. The Chthonian Fiend is described as the director of the demon horde surrounding Utakata Village; its fall signals the end of a major threat for the village residents.

As a part of a collaboration effort, Soul Sacrifice players can face it in a special multi-player only quest.

Battle Data[]

When it reaches half of its health, it changes into a different form. Each form has its own special attack patterns. Characters can get hurt if they stand too close to its footsteps in either form.

First Form[]

Stomps around as a bipedal giant.

  1. breathes fire to the front.
  2. stamps back a few steps before performing a shoulder ram forward.
  3. conjures fire into one of its fists. Runs towards its target and slams the ground.
  4. whips tail to hit anything behind it.
  5. crouches and pounds the ground with its fist.
  6. rears head and fires three fireballs in front of it.
  7. rears upper body and pounds fist into ground. Several curses pop around the field to injure and stun characters. Red circles indicate the area of effect. Demon vulnerable during attack.

Kiwami removes the last attack and adds a strengthened version of this manifestation. It has a few new attacks.

  1. breathes fire in a fan formation while stomping forward.
  2. pounds fists onto the ground for fire damage.

Second Form[]

This creature moves on all fours and can grow back its lost arms, legs, and tail when it transforms. When it punches the ground, it creates a circle of magma that can harm characters if they step on it.

  1. hops forward to smash both fists onto the ground.
  2. breathes fire in a fan formation to its sides and front.
  3. smashes both fists onto the ground for a large explosion. Short range yet most damaging of this form.
  4. plunges fist into ground to generate curse circles. This form temporarily negates a characters' soul abilities if it hits. Cannot be blocked.

Kiwami restores Chthonian Fiend's health to maximum once changing into this form. Lava trail has been removed. It has a few new attacks.

  1. hops forward three times for squashing damage.
  2. whips tail to protect backside.
  3. hurls multiple fireballs around itself in random directions.

Strategy[]

The Chthonian Fiend is a strong but slow enemy. It gives clear signals before attacking, so it's easy to dodge by quickly moving to the side. Cutting off its tail can reduce the damage it deals from behind. Removing its arms weakens its ability to attack. Using a Soul that protects against burning can be helpful.

In its second form, the Chthonian Fiend is faster and harder to predict. Close-range fighters have an advantage in reaching its low weak spots. Dodge its charges and focus on attacking its arms. When it breathes fire, it stays still and vulnerable.

In "Kiwami" mode, the Chthonian Fiend targets anyone who locks onto it, making it challenging for solo players with a defensive strategy. It is more mobile and aggressive than the regular version. Cutting off its limbs doesn't reduce its fire attacks much. It recovers quickly after attacking, but it still has exploitable weaknesses.

Parts[]

Drops are random. Broken body parts can be used to create the Chthonian Fiend themed weaponry and armor for the protagonist. His weapons are Rank 4 fire types, and his armor offers high fire resistance when fully assembled.
