====Strategy====
The player can either level-build to the 70s and use a standard strategy, or try their hand against him at high 40s.

It is heavily advised to have several characters in the [[Hero]] vocation, with two {{MP}}-heavy characters as [[Sage]]s (equip the [[Duplic Hat]] on one.). The caster focusing on [[Omniheal]] user should have a [[Meteorite Bracer]] equipped at all times. Keep [[Buff]]s to a minimum to avoid Nokturnus' negation; he appears to use [[Disruptive Wave]] more often when more than one character has [[Oomph]] up, or several supportive buffs are in place. To prevent buffs from getting nulled, have one [[Oomph]] and one [[Kabuff]] put in place. Otherwise, reapply support spells after each [[Disruptive Wave]].

Heroes should attack by using [[Gigaslash]] every round. A Hero with [Oomph]] active should use [[Focus Strength]] and [[Knuckle Sandwich]]. The Sages should unleash [[Magic Burst]] as soon as possible. Once both Sages drop their attacks, switch one of them for another Hero, who will be a dedicated [[Hustle Dance]]r to keep health up. If a Hero should run out of {{MP}} using [[Gigaslash]], the [[Hustle Dance]]r will exchange roles with him/her. Swap in your healer at any moment should more healing power be necessary.

Alternatively, one party member can master the [[Liquid Metal Slime]] and [[Paladin]] classes. That one member will act as the party's shield by using the Paladin's [[Forbearance]] skill, with one [[Buff]] always active to reduce the damage caused by Nokturnus. Liquid Metal Slime vocation mastery yields high defence and immunity to all elements, proving as a very useful tank for the {{Party 6}}. The other members should use the same attack strategies as above. Keep in mind Nokturnus has abilities that can slip by [[Forbearance]], so an occasional [[Hustle Dance]] should be done to keep the party safe. Again, an [[Omniheal]] user is always a good idea in case the tank begins to falter. Reapply [[Buff]] on the {{Party 6}} defender if Nokturnus negates it.

If you defeat Nokturnus, there is a chance that he will drop a [[Liquid Metal Mind]]. If he is defeated  in less than 20 turns, you will be treated to a special scene.
