Biography
[Work in Progress, all details below are as remembered by this editor, please fix if anything is off.] She first appeared when Sara tries to make an audience with the Queen of Grand Noah for assisiting with the investigations of Esta and the Tartarus RIft in the lake. Mephisto suggested that Luka and his companions first participate in the Queen's Cup before being able to investigate Esta. After leaving, Alice/Ilias figures something odd about Mephisto and how she knows Luka as a Hero and Sara agrees that the Queen of Grand Noah just goes along what with her advisor does. Mephisto appears again before the finals that the plan was to have Luka participate and make Alma Elma appears so that the events in the true history follows. On Ilias route she is aware on who will show up, on Alice route she wonders who could it be. After Luka defeats Alma Elma, Mephisto shows up along with reinforcements in attempts to lure and capture Alma Elma since she betrayed the Monster Lord. Alma Elma isn't pleased with the Monster Lord's method and likes to do as she wants. Granberia hated her actions and tries straightening Alma Elma out. After Granberia was defeated, Mephisto leaves claiming that she underestimated one of the Four Heavenly Knights.

After her appearance at the Queen Cup, Mephisto retreats back to the Magic Academy. Luka and Co then head in, meeting a disguised Alma Elma along the way who notes that Mephisto is talking to someone, and that they might be able to catch her in the act. Indeed, upon arrival to the second floor and reaching the head master’s room, Lilith is there along with Mephisto. She reveals that she in league with the Monster Lord Alipheese the 15th and Lilith states that Alipheese the 15th is helping their plan instead. Seeing that the two are there, Luka and friends see that they would be overpowered, and begins to retreat… but is blocked by Lilith moving behind them in a flash. They prepare to finish off the party, but Alma Elma bursts in from off screen and flies off with Lilith in tow, leaving only Mephisto to fight. She notes that while she isn’t as powerful as before, she used to be someone quite feared throughout the land, and transforms into her battle form and engages combat.

One beatdown later, Luka and party bring Mephisto back to Grand Noah before the Queen, expecting her to be punished. However, to their surprise, the Queen allows her to stay as the advisor in return for providing information.

Mephisto mentions that the Monster Lord already had control over Grangold and used them to wage war, Alice/Ilias assumes that it would be Queen Ant doing the control over the King of Grangold.

Mephisto then tells the party that there is a conflict in Plantsect Village that they should go solve. Alice/Ilias says that Alipheese the 17th ended the conflict however Mephisto speculates that someone has re-ignite the war themselves.

Mephisto is pleased with Luka solving the Plansect Village, she assisted the Queen of Grand Noah despite her loyalty to the Monster Lord to fight against Grangold's army. Mephisto assigned Luka and his party to infiltrate Gold Fort and make their way to a town called Goddard to meet with someone who can help them get pass Grangold while the army is attacking on the front lines.

She later can be seen at the Toxic Swamp East of Goddard after Luka meets up with the spy as the bridge to Grangold is destroyed.

Mephisto joins Luka's party to get rid of the golems at the Marching Hill as she knows how to deal with Grangold's Golems but Sonya still doesn't trust her and Mephisto replies that she hasn't played enough games that anyone who looks like a traitor isn't one as they appear to be and it could be one of Luka's friend that could be the traitor.

Mephisto says that to get to the Grangold Castle they need to meet up with their last helper to make a distraction and later Sonya is shocked to see her Uncle Lazarus and Don Father Merlin working on a plan to get to the Castle. Mephisto didn't know any of this and apologises.

Mephisto later can be seen at the banquet after the victory over Grangold. When surprisingly the Monster Lord declared war over all the world, the Queen of Grand Noah asked Mephisto to still keep accompanying Luka and his companions over the journey, she later discuss of preparing for war against the Monster Lord and Alice/Ilias mentions that they should be looking for the 6 orbs to revive the Garuda Girl and get to Hellgondo but the mountains cuts off travelers and the caverns are inaccessible due to the Great Disaster.

After getting to the Gold Region Tartarus and on to the Succubus Village (alt) she received an urgent message from the Queen of Grand Noah that the city is under attacked but the party wonders how she is receiving the message from another world, Mephisto answers that she is using Luka as an antenna to receive the message. The party leaves and made their quick transport to Grand Noah only to find out that its under attacked by an army of Elves and Fairies.

She also helped the Queen of Grand Noah staged a counter-attack on the leaders of the armies namingly Spider Princess, Queen Mermaid, Queen Fairy and Queen Vampire.

Monsterpedia Entry
''“A confidant of Alipheese the Fifteenth who is also serving as Grand Noah’s magic advisor. Wielding very powerful magic, she knows spells from all eras and regions. Her true form is that of an evil serpent, and is extremely formidable in combat. She is also very cruel and will swallow her prey alive. Anyone who angers her will have their semen squeezed as she preys upon them.''

''She is very cunning and methodical, but there is one aspect of her that deeply values ancient Youma traditions, and she is very respectful of contracts and commitments. It appears Mephisto’s devotion to a contract sometimes exceeds even her own loyalties.”''

Strategy
She’s a spell caster, but has some non-magical attacks. If you can, magic reflect is very good against her, but beware of Mass Dispel, as it will remove it. As a Youma, she is resistant to Fire, but weak against Ice and Holy. Otherwise, just bring people strong against the magical elements and beat her down. She has rather low agi, so your team should go before her.

Evaluation
''“So you ended up as the prey of a female teacher. I think you'd fit perfectly living in modern day Japan... Mephisto is a tough opponent that has various magic at her disposal. If you fight properly, you really shouldn't have much trouble. Ice is very effective against her because she is a lamia. Silence works on her and you will have a great advantage if you seal her magic. Now go on, immoral(and at the same time)brave Luka. If you become more immoral, you will ruin your companion's lives.”''
