How To Start The Horn Of Plenty
After completing the Tyrant of Tennozu, Demeter will move to Shinjuku, in a building justsouth of the Shinjuku 3rd Block Leyline Fount. Demeter will not appear if the previous quest hasn’t been turned in, and will immediately travel to this location if players need to backtrack to unlock this quest. Demeter will ask for the Horn of Plenty, which is dropped by a Chimera found back at the beginning of Shinjuku. If players have already found and defeated this demon, they will already have the Horn and can turn in the quest immediately.
The Chimera is found in a small valley in thesoutheastern corner of Shinjukuand can be easily reached by traveling back to the first Leyline fount and traveling southwest before climbing up the hill and following the path straight east. Chimera will attack as soon as you approach, so be prepared before getting too close.
Chimera is a powerful level 50 demon, but its weakness to poison should be immediately taken advantage of. While it is best tofuse a demonthat has a poison ability, players can alsouse a Poison Gem to poison Chimera during the first turnto maximize damage from the status effect. If you chose amagic build for the Nahobino, be sure to bring a powerful force spell and focus only on dealing damage and adding more press turn icons.
Chimera has a few options of its own, and players should focus on demons that resist or block fire and electric attacks. Having a block or absorb fire demon oressence on the Nahobinois best as its only fire spell isMaragion which will hit the whole party and end its turn. Players should also bring Amrita Drops or other status healing spells as Frenzied Chomp has a chance of inflicting poison, confusion, or charm.
What Should You Tell Demeter & Rewards
After defeating Chimera players will be given the Horn of Plenty and can take it back to Demeter. She will ask about sacrifices and players can choose between, “Sacrifices are necessary” or, “Sacrifices should be avoided”.No matter what option you choose, the end results for this quest will be the same, and Demeter can be found again later in the game to continue her quest line.
Upon completing this quest, players will begiven the Megami Talisman. This Talisman gives Megami demons access to the Magatsuhi skillEternal Prayer, which restores HP, cures status ailments, and revives all allies even in your stock. This is one of the best healing Magatsuhi skills in the game and is a great last-resort option against difficult bosses.
