Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse

During the Challenge Quest "Messiahs in the Diamond Realm", Stephen transported the Demi-fiend's soul to the Diamond Realm alongside the Hero, Aleph, and Flynn. Each of them met an unavoidable fate in their original worlds as a result of YHVH's machinations; in the Demi-fiend's case, he was killed by Lucifer after defeating Kagutsuchi. Nanashi would eventually restore the bodies and memories of the four messiahs, culminating in a fight against Stephen himself. Once the battle was over, a portal opened in the Diamond Realm, allowing Demi-fiend and the other messiahs to return to their original worlds.

Shin Megami Tensei V

The Demi-fiend is the final boss that can be faced in the subquest "Return of the True Demon," where after defeating the various fiends who allude to his power, he will appear in the Hall of Chaos. He fights alongside the demons Cu Chulainn, Girimekhala, Pixie, Cerberus, Thor, Jack Frost and Parvati, which are replaced upon defeat in a set order. After being defeated, he drops the Demi-fiend Essence, and remains in place to be refought should the Nahobino wish for it. The subquest becomes available upon purchase of the downloadable content of the same name.[1]

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
