Reaper

Reaper, or Death is a unique NPC encountered in Monster Girl Quest: Paradox. Her current relevance to the plot is unknown but she does provide certain services to Luka should he require them. Should Luka die, his soul will be sent to Hades where Reaper will direct him to a magic circle which will revive him at the last place he prayed. She can also be met in Hades, physically, after Luka receives The Key to Hades in Iliasburg and returns to Ilias Temple. While physically in Hades, Luka can ask Reaper to change the Difficulty, challenge her to a fight, and erase all memory of any male companions Luka has recruited. Additionally, after completing Part 1, Reaper will direct Luka to the Labyrinth of Chaos for an additional challenge. Alternatively, you may proceed to New Game +, keeping all companions (Except Alice or Ilias), all items, most key items, gold, etc.

Biography
Reaper is potentially first met upon Luka's death and all subsequent deaths. She'll instruct him to take the magic circle back to the world of the living. If he tries to leave Hades, the other way, she'll tell him there is no turning back from there and forces him away.

Reaper is first properly met after gaining the Key to Hades and entering Hades physically instead of spiritually like when he dies.

Strategy
While Reaper was not intended to be defeated in Part 1, it is still possible.

Endure is now patched to activate only once during combat like it's supposed to, so the strategy of Endure and constant healing now doesn't work.

One solid way to defeat Reaper is to get any Harpy, level up the race Wing Harpy and have her keep up the dance Sky Dance, which will boost Physical and Magic Evasion by 50% for all characters. Companions with high base evasion like Fairies are preferable.

The summoning skills Carbuncle (Summoner) and Vicarious Clara (Necromancer) are also recommended if you cannot get 100% Physical and Magical Evasion. Carbuncle gives the whole team 100% Magic Deflection for three turns and Vicarious Clara gives the caster a shield which will last for three hits. Vicarious Clara can be stacked to get multiple shields.

She can inflict party-wide Instant Death so choose Companions who are immune to Instant Death like Minor Chaos or Ghosts or recruit a Kitsune-type monster girl with the Fox Geisha Race class for the Anti-Death Song available upon reaching level 7 of said class to make your party immune to Instant Death for a total of ten turns each time it is activated.
