Gameplay
- See also: Argilla § Gameplay
Prithivi is Argilla's Atma, which she transforms into at the beginning of battles unless the party is ambushed. She is weak to Force and resists Earth. Prithivi cannot use Argilla's rifle, but is capable of using all of her set skills. The skills she can access are determined by the Mantra she has mastered, where any of the skills she has learned can be freely added to or removed from her skill set outside of battle.
Prithivi's stats have a high focus on Magic. She starts with 4 skill slots, gaining 2 at level 10 and another 2 at level 20.
She starts with the Earth Spirit Mantra equipped and with 550 AP, though she does not gain AP or recover HP after battle until after the first visit to Svadhisthana.

Prithivi behaves the same as in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner. She starts with the Earth Spirit Mantra and 360 AP for it.
If the player transferred data from Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, Prithivi will start with bonus stats depending on how many Mantra Argilla had mastered, up to +5 in all stats. Additionally, if the player selected the correct dialogue options in the first game, Argilla will learn Seraph Lore when the party reaches the final dungeon.

Game Appearances
Prithivi is Argilla's Atma, which she acquires at Ground Zero once the Atma virus is unleased on the Junkyard. Argilla sees her demonization as a curse and seeks to rid herself of it, refraining from devouring while hunting for Harley, which nearly causes her to succumb to hunger if not for Sera singing "Pray". Even after she starts devouring enemies, she does not devour those she sees as "comrades" even when she is in her right to, such as Bat after his initial defeat and Jinana after she succumbed to hunger.
In the Deserted Ship, Argilla transforms into Prithivi to fight Bat, buying the Embryon time to plant explosives in the ship, help Argilla defeat Bat and escape, leaving Bat to be blown up.
Argilla retains Prithivi from her time in the Junkyard.
In the Power Plant, Argilla leaves the Embryon to help Roland destroy the facility and kill Meganada. She finds Meganada devouring Roland and attempts to engage him herself, but is overpowered. However, Roland was still alive, and Argilla bought enough time for him to overload the Power Plant, killing the three of them.
In the Sun, Argilla may receive Seraph Lore from Jinana's Solar Data.
