A Goddess in Training is a DLC quest in Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance. Whereas this DLC was an extra purchase in the original SMT V, it’s included in the Vengeance version of the game, so you don’t need to take any additional steps to get this content.

After you’ve cleared the first act of the game and left Minato Ward, head to the exit of the Diet Building and talk to the Female Scientist to offer your help. Next, speak with the male researcher, who’s called Researcher C, on the staircase to officially accept the quest.

To complete a Goddess in Training in Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance, you must meet Artemis in Tokyo Tower, defeat Quetzalcoatl, and accept Artemis’s challenge to battle her. When she’s defeated, she joins your party and you can report to the Bethel Researcher.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

How to beat Quetzalcoatl

Quetzalcoatl uses Force attacks and Fire attacks to deal damage. This is Zanma and Maragion, which deals party-wide damage.

To counter Quetzalcoatl, bring a party of Demons resistant to these elements to mitigate damage. Quetzalcoatl’s weakness is Electric, so your offensive Demons must have Zio or stronger variations equipped.

  • Assemble a team that can endure her heavy attacks. Focus on durability and resilience.

  • Use debuffs like Tarunda to weaken her and outlast her powerful attacks.
