It took me 𝟐 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 to beat this challenge

On the 21st of October 2023, I began what would quickly become the most insane challenge I've ever attempted: beating Shin Megami Tensei IV without demons, and without demon whisper ( I cannot learn skills). And today, almost 3 years later, I am finally ready to tell you the tale of the craziest SMTIV challenge run you'll ever see. This video is dedicated to my Father and my Grandfather. Thank you for everything that you did for me. As you two would always say: la lutte continue. Special thanks to my good friend ‪@Ziroikabi‬ for doing this very same challenge run alongside me. Brainstorming with someone else who could relate to me was a blessing.
