Alice/Decus aren't that hard. Just always go for Alice until she's dead and leave the other 3 for Decus. After Alice is dead it's easy.

Btw, if you ever do a second playthrough, do the Alice/Decus sidequest. They have good backstories.

That's what I did both times.  One monster fought Decus while Emil/Marta/monster attacked Alice.  Then Decus uses his Mystic Arte, Emil/Marta go down to 1 HP, and Alice goes *swipe* *swipe* for a game over.  It went really fast.  Marta never even got her item use off.

Did you teach your monsters to heal? Since they will save you if they do...I loved my undead horsemen...
