Alice/Hades

Alipheese the 16th (Hades) (アリスフィーズ16世（冥府）, Arisufīzu 16-sei (Meifu)) is one of the Monster Lords, who appears in Monster Girl Quest: Paradox.

Whether or not this is the same Alice from the original trilogy is unknown.

If you talk to her when fighting her in Hades, she may ask you the reason why you left her to die, which is an event that can happen in the original trilogy should Luka ignore Alice instead of helping her when finding her unconscious at the beginning of the game. This seems to confirm that this Alice is the one from the original timeline, but one where Luka abandoned her when rushing to get to his baptism. Other dialogues confirm that this occurrence led her to develop a negative opinion of humans, just as it did in the original game should Luka decide not to help her.

Biography
Alipheese the 16th can be encountered in Hades by choosing to challenge Reaper to a fight. Beating Alice once after asking to fight Reaper will make her available to fight like the rest of the bosses in Hades.

Monsterpedia Entry
''“A mysterious monster only matched by her mysterious power. With her identity unknown, it’s unsure if there are even any monsters who can match her strength. Though it appears she means no harm to humans, she is merciless if one dares to challenge her. The price for challenging her is pricey, indeed.”''

Strategy
Beating her require a little preparation. You should be at least level 25-30, with part 1 completed (She's roughly as tough as Mephisto). If you’ve done this, just fight her like you would any boss. Use evasion increasing skills like Sky Dance (from the Wing Harpy) to avoid most of her attacks.

Her only attack that might give you trouble is Monster Lord’s Cruelty due to it hitting automatically and multiple times. But if you’re evading most of her other attacks, you should be able to survive it. Increasing your resistance to death through an anti-death song or with an auto-revive will prevent a statistically likey (4*4*10=160%) chance of someone dying.

Using magic reflect like carbuncle can also help you a great deal, as she will take a lot of damage from her magical attacks.

Evaluation
''“It seems you were buried without being able to resist at all. Something feels a bit off, I wonder why… Alipheese XVI is the strongest monster currently alive. By no means can you defeat her at the beginning of your adventure. She uses Fire, Ice, and Lightning Magics aimed at your whole party. She can also use a powerful Dark Art. You have no chance of winning if you cannot withstand it. You may be able to oppose her by raising your resistances to those three attributes, but dealing with Dark attacks is very difficult, so you’ll have to resist them with your own power. She has a high resistance to all status ailments, but Time Magic is reasonably effective. Don’t even try to fight her if you cannot Slow or Stop her. All of her attribute resistances are high. Among them, only her Holy resistance seems to be ordinary. All you can do after that is use all the Support Magic you know when you challenge her. If you take all of this advice to heart, I’m sure you can attain victory. Now go, oh brave Luka. I will wait for the day in which you slay the Monster Lord.”''
