Lilith. What's the big deal?




So I may be jumping back and forth again between the JP and NA servers and hopefully reach lvl 92 and acquire the plug-ins for Lilith. But I was recently asked why do I like this particular demon so much?

Apart from being freaky sexy, she was an interesting tragic character in SMT. Since most of us know of Lilith's Biblical origins I'll spare the info, y'all can just look it up yourselves later.

But in the game depending on what alignment choice you took, you get a slightly deeper insight into Lilith's motives. In Law and Neutral you just simply fight and kill her, but in Chaos route after you kill her, she dies in your arms asking for forgiveness and regrets attacking you and joining up with the Chaos Hero and other transgressions she did. All she wanted was to be close to the main protagonist and become your new Eve in the world you will help re-create. May seem such a selfish character flaw, but it added a level of empathy for the character.

Being pretty alone and displaced by God and Adam due to her forceful actions during the Time of Creation which brought about the downfall of Mankind, I really don't blame Lilith for being such a spiteful bitch, but she displays that human quality of acceptance but fails due to the fact that she went about using the wrong methods to be accepted and loved.

Anyways, just as with all mythos you fellow readers may have a different take on it, but this viewpoint is from a Megaten perspective, thus this is no in-depth study of Lilith but merely a reason why I love the character and looking forward to fusing her in the Jakyou Manor. (If I still can considering it was an anniversary event *crosses fingers to see if he still can*)

  1. I completely understand your motivation, Lilith is an all-time favorite demon for me too. when I read about her role in SMT...2? i suppose, it really broke my heart. also in Nocturne she was cut out unfortunately... but the video with her still exists. I really wish to see her by my side in imagine. can you tell me how to fuse this beauty?
