How to fuse a demon with all 8 skill slots EARLY GAME | Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne

CONTEXT
I have just recently finished a low level run on SMT 3 Nocturne, and I have received many comments asking me how I managed to get all 8 skills on my demons so early. I said that I would make a video, so here it is. I will show you how I STARTED the process to fuse my demons with 8 skills. But here in the description will have all of the important Information that you need to know.

GRINDING/MACCA
The Demon Compendium can get very expensive... Playing on Hard triples the Junk Shop and Compendium prices, and if you don't have the Macca to use the compendium, your going to have a hard time fusing. Ginza is a great place to farm Macca with Plead. Lilim, Apsaras, and Angel respond to plead very well, and can give a variety of items that if sold in quantity can earn you a decent amount of Macca. Those items being Revival Bread, Chakra drops, Chakra Pots, and Soma Droplets. Lilim can give Magic Mirrors, and I also had Angle give me a Soma once. After running around Ginza and gathering a bunch of stuff, go to the Junk Shop and sell what you got, but make sure to keep some for yourself. Just to put it out there... This can be a very painful process if your doing a low level run, you are going to get random encounters you don't want. And a lot of you may know this already, but on hard mode, It's almost impossible to escape random encounters. The only advice I can give is to save frequently, and get Trafuri ASAP. In the early game, this is the only farming method THAT I KNOW OF to make a decent amount of Macca. Just beware that doing this will take time, but if your playing the game normally you should be fine.

FUSION
After following the steps in the video, and you have a demon with 8 skills. I would like to reiterate what I said at the end of the video. "This does not guarantee what you fuse to have all 8 skills." The main reason I said this, is because I don't know what point in the game your at, or what your current situations like. But I can help you get fusion material, to fuse a demon you want. So, starting with the demon with 8 skills we just made, in this case Apsaras, make sure she is saved into the compendium, and use her as a sacrifice for a fusion, then buy her back. The demon you just fused should have 6 to 7 skills, save them into the compendium, And then repeat the process. Fuse them, buy them back, over and over again. Once you have a bunch of demons with 6 to 7 skills, you shouldn't have any problem fusing a demon with all 8 skills. The entire point to this is to build as many demons, with as many skills as possible. Just make sure that you carryover skills you want, and to always do Sacrificial Fusion.

BONUS FUSION
I don't know how wildly know this is, but you can manipulate your demons stats when doing a Sacrificial fusion. If your demon is going to level up when you fuse them, just back out of fusion, reselect your sacrifice, and the stats will change.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As you can see, Fusing a demon with all 8 skills is not that difficult to do. However, it is harder to do if your doing a low level run. If you look at my party from my "Orthrus, Yaksini, & Thor" Video (which is when I started doing this), you will see most of my demons have 6 to 7 skills, and Apsaras is the only one with 8. Apsaras is actually one of the easiest to fuse with all 8 skills, because of how you can fuse her. Most of you may know, but the more skills you have on your demons when you fuse, the more you can carryover. Jack Frost, Zhen, and Apsaras have 3 skill on them naturally. This makes giving them more skills a lot easier, with Sacrificial Fusion. The reason why it's easier is because most demons at this point in a low level run only have 2 skills.
