Profile
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
Dantalion, a demon who mocks humanity's materialism, is fought in the Museum. He petrifies Rei Reiho and takes her to a room across where Dantalion is fought. During the battle against Dantalion, the protagonist can stun him for three turns by using the art he can take from the museum.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
"One of the 72 demons of the Goetia. He is a duke with many faces that change constantly. He holds a heavy book in his right hand which has the thoughts of all living beings, past, present and future, written in a language only he can read."
They are mainly found on Eridanus Sector as a random encounter at the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is a Dantalion NPC on the west side of the top floor of Eridanus, reached after getting the Gate Search C from Ryan. It gives the side-quest "Tales of Investigation" and regularly will employ the protagonist to be his proxy explorer across the Schwarzwelt, paying him to fully map several floors of each Sector. Once every Sector has been fully mapped, he will gratefully hand over a cache of Incenses to the protagonist.
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Known as Dantalian, he appears in the New Game Plus Challenge Quest, Slay the Demon in Hidng. Talking to the Baker at the Bakery in Mikado Castle has him state his desire to learn more and transforms into Dantalian, telling Flynn that he doesn't care if he becomes a demon as long as he learns. In the battle Dantalian tells that those who seek to learn will become nourishment for him and in turn have their wishes granted. During the battle his face becomes the Bakers and asks him to stop as he only wants to learn, but this is a trap and agreeing will have Dantalian call Flynn a fool. He is surprised at his defeat, unable to understand how even with his infinite knowledge that he could be defeated by a mere human. Dantalian's final words are in the Bakers voice, asking if it's so wrong to want to know.
