How do I grind for Soma??

[Nyarlathotep]

I'm at the end of the game and I just want to be able to beat the superbosses. I'm trying to kill the Chi You things but they NEVER drop it for me, I got one in like 40 minutes. Surely there is a better way?

Honestly, what unfun ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ design. I just want to have fun, I didn't need to grind at all for exp, now I need for an item?? Bs.

Why do you feel like you need to grind Somas in order to stand a chance against superbosses? Especially when demons like Konohana Sakuya exist.

Konohana Sakuya doesn't negate the need for MP recovery items especially against Demi-fiend if you're using only one team.

Bold of you to assume everyone bought the DLC and actually feels like using her.

Anyways, if you want to grind for Somas, I'd recommend punching Chi Yous in the Temple of Eternity until they drop them. As far as I know, they're the only mob demon that drop Somas (albeit a low chance).

Uh, what exactly are you trying to say?
I JUST told you that her Unique does not negate the need for MP recovery items in drawn out battles, especially Demi-fiend and when using a Nahobino and 3 demons. You NEED MP recovery items in that scenario.
And as that dude said, it's a DLC demon so you should go with the assumption people don't spend money on it.

Maybe saying the exact same thing but using more words will make you understand. Or are you just gonna parrot one line like an NPC?

And I just told you about "Blossoming Sakura", which is her Magatsuhi skill. I am not sure if "Bowl of Hygieia" affects the MP recovery part, but every time I use it, it restores about 500+ MP, which is almost the entire MP bar on any Level 99 demon.

EDIT: Besides, if OP's concern is strictly MP restoration, wouldn't it be better to grind some Chakra Pots (since you can hold more of 'em) and leave the HP restoration to someone with Mediarahan or Mediarama + High Heal Pleroma?

My bad, got things mixed up. That is indeed powerful and possibly the solution to the MP issues.

And yes, farming Chakra Pots should be good enough for OP if he doesn't have Sakuya.
Metatron and Sandalphon have an unique Magatsuhi skill called Bounty that makes all the enemies drop items on defeat so that's something to consider but I don't know if it'll make Chi You's drop Soma consistently.

EDIT: NVM, you get that at 100% demon compendium, therefore it's useless.

is the chakra elixir just that bad at end game?
