This can be a little tricky. With all the four base personas (Lilim, Vetala, Incubus, Succubus), none of them can learn Mabufudyne innately. This means you need to create one of them via fusion and inherit Mabufudyne from another persona. With the four base personas, only Succubus can learn Mabufudyne.
Consider the following combinations for Succubus. One of the base personas for Succubus SHOULD HAVE Mabufudyne.
Empress + Chariot\ Death
Emperor + Justice
Hanged Man + Death
Lovers + Death
Magician + Chariot\ Hanged Man
Strength + Tower
Temperance + Devil
Defeating the Reaper (1)
I suggest to be at least level 70+ minimum before facing this Shadow. The higher, the better. This enemy is still a threat even if all your characters are at LV99. First tip, DO NOT USE MAGIC/ATTACK MIRRORs. This will trigger the Reaper to use Megidolaon EVERY TURN. Even with Mediarahan, that will pose a problem.
Next: Have a party member or two take care of the support/ healing. When I battled the Reaper, my preferred party was Yukari, Mitsuru and Aigis. Yukari is essential for healing/ reviving allies while Aigis party affecting support skills on Heal/Support mode helps a lot in keeping the party afloat. You can replace Mitsuru with any strong attacker you may have.
For the offensive, use MEGIDOLAON. This enemy has very strong damage resistance and good evasion rate. Megido skills are almost always accurate (96-99%) and has no attribute (sure to pierce through any resistance) so this is your attack skill of choice.
Death is dangerous for having high level attacks, damaging spells and instant death attacks. As long as you have a good supply of Homunculus, you will be safe from these kinds of attacks Dont hesitate to use your rare consumables such as Balms of Life, Soma, etc. You wont need them in your last battles since you could be strong as hell that you would laugh out at Nyx.
Defeating the Reaper (2)
The Reaper only has around 9999 HP. Simply cast the fusion spell Armageddon (Helel + Satan) to deal 9999 damage and end the battle in one turn.

Successfully hide from the girls during the Hotspring scene
1. First, hide on the east side of the central rock, staying close to it. Wait until the girls say that they found nothing.
2. When the girls decide to check the other side, slowly looped around the bottom of the rock and hide on the west side, again close to the rock, just behind Mitsuru. Wait until the girls found nothing again.
3. When the girls decide split up, slowly walk to the center gap, interact with it and select hide. Wait patiently until they decide to stop looking.
Unfortunately, you don't get anything for your efforts, but the following scenes are more amusing then the alternative with Mitsuru joking that Fuuka's detection is worthless without her clothes and Aigis muses about the difference in human bodies.
