Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 is one of the few times that Atlus has released a direct sequel to one of their titles. This sequel is a must-play for fans of the first game as it directly follows the events of the previous title. So if you are interested in the full picture, then purchasing or emulating this title is absolutely necessary. Not only is this game a step forward in the narrative, but it’s a step forward in the franchise’s design as well.

Digital Devil Saga 2 Premise
After the first game, this title picks up with the original cast as they emerge from the Junkyard. This title introduced a few new mechanics such as the berserk form which increases attack power while sacrificing defenses. Another new mechanic is the Karma Ring equipment that player characters can equip to increase their stats further. Other than these new mechanics the game is pretty similar to its predecessor, so fans of the original will be right at home here with Digital Devil Saga 2.

Digital Devil Saga 2 Cheat Codes
Unlockables
Berserker Ring
After beating the game, load up your clear game file and start a new game on either Normal or Hard. Play the game as normal and get to the battle where a Ghoul says he has a Power Ring on. Upon winning, you’ll also receive the Berserker Ring, which allows you to always fight in Berserk Mode without having the Solar Data be 7/8 or MAX.
Hard Difficulty
In order to access this difficulty you must load a clear save from the first Digital Devil Saga, or complete Digital Devil Saga 2. Afterward, you can select your difficulty of either Normal or Hard. Hard mode makes it harder to escape, (3/10ths the chance of normal mode) enemies hit you for 1.5 times more damage, enemies have a 1.5 times higher critical hit ratio, you hitting an enemy’s weakness results in 2 times damage, and allows you to face an extra secret boss.

Easter Eggs
Girimehkala Sarge
To fight this upgraded version of the normal Girimehkala enemy fight the normal Girimehkala enemy but DO NOT kill it, instead, kill any enemies that might appear with it but don’t do anything to itself once you have his health down to less than 25% (red damage text) simply pass the remaining turns and it will talk about its Seargant, it will then run away and a much bigger Girimehkala will appear as reinforcements, this version has more health and is bigger but has the same attacks, strengths, and weaknesses, it will also grant additional exp and atma upon defeat.
