How to defeat Mara
Mara is a level 75 demon of the Tyrant race in SMT4: Apocalypse.
Weaknesses :
Mara is weak to ice skills, has resistance against light and dark skills, and absorbs gun and electric skills. He mainly uses physical attacks and a magic repelling skill to avoid being attacked by ice skills (its weakness).
Mara uses the following skills :
During my battle with it, I used skills such as Debilitate, Acid Breath, etc (any stat reducing skills will be effective, primarily defense lowering skills) and kept hitting it with Cold World, Bufudyne and/or Mabufudyne (heavy damaging ice skills).
It helps if your assist gauge is filled up when you enter battle.
The questions it asks you :
After damaging him a bit, he will tell you how you have no obligation to save the host and how you should just let him be. You will have three choices to choose from to reply to his question :
Damaging him further will result in another question. This time he will tell you about seeing new things and asks if you want to go with it to an even more arousing land. Just like before, you will have choices to choose :
After he asks you this question, it might be the final nail in the coffin since it is extremely weak at this point. Continue using heavy ice skills to finally finish it out once and for good.
