Shin Megami Tensei V

How to defeat Quetzalcoatl

By
Jarrod Garripoli

During Subquests, you will sometimes have to fight a boss while doing the quest. This page will pertain to the fight against Quetzalcoatl.

You will fight Quetzalcoatl during A Goddess in Training

Where to Find Quetzalcoatl

Quetzalcoatl will be a boss you face during the quest, A Goddess in Training. Once you have logged the quest, you will go to the Tokyo Tower area to find Artemis. She will ask you to find Quetzalcoatl, as a potential training partner for her. Artemis doesn’t actually tell you where Quetzalcoatl is located, but if you go to the Nagatacho Leyline, then run towards the Diet Building, you will see Quetzalcoatl on top of a rock. It will come after you when you get close enough.

You will find Quetzalcoatl in front of the Tokyo Diet Building in Minato. It is sitting on top of a rock and as you approach, it will fly towards you, so make sure you are ready before getting too close. Quetzalcoatl is pretty simple in terms of a battle, as it is able to use both Fire and Force attacks. That means you don’t want to have any weaknesses to either of those, with a possibility of someone blocking Fire, at least, since Maragion hits the entire party. The Force skill it has, Zanma, only hits a single target, so you don’t have to worry about someone blocking it, but it might be a good idea if you want to abuse the whole thing around making Quetzalcoatl losing turns.

(1 of 2) Quetzalcoatl will be on a rock in front of the Diet Building

Quetzalcoatl will be on a rock in front of the Diet Building (left), If you still have Ruinous Thunder, it will help greatly with Quetzalcoatl (right)

Outside of the two above skills, you will find this foe has access to Masukunda, meaning you will either want Sukunda or Masukukaja (Jatayu has this and absorbs Force). You definitely don’t want to be losing turns due to missing your attacks. The last skill for Quetzalcoatl is Toxic Cloud, which gives a chance to inflict Poison on the entire party. Unless your demons are resistant or immune to Poison, there’s nothing you can really do to stop it. It’s a good idea to keep a healthy supply of Amrita Sodas in your inventory, just in case. Note that Quetzalcoatl is weak to Electric, while blocking Fire. The Nahobino should have Ruinous Thunder still, which will be a huge help here; other demons should have Zionga or be using Shards/Gems. Quetzalcoatl will likely always do Maragion after Magatsuhi, although he isn’t limited to using it then.
