bradigor Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Yeah, I am not following any guides, which is why I have the questions, more refreshers than anything. I've found myself under leveled for the third palace, so need to grind mementos for a bit now. Completed the previous two palaces in plenty of time. So hoping I am good to waste a few days levelling up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMD Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Don't forget that fusing better persona also helps your stats in battle, it affects your physical attack, defence, dodge and resistances/weaknesses. Trying different persona can get you through the end of a Palace just as much as grinding but you don't need to leave and come back another day.

bradigor Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 First of all. This is not a "oh when will it end!" post, because honestly I hope it never does. Hell I'd be down the an ongoing weekly Persona game that lasts for years. However I am about 60ish hours in and (September spoilers) Spoiler Just got back from Hawaii and started the next palace with Haru. It's got the feel of a mission that should be a supposed ending, but there is a swerve coming type of thing. I am still meeting new Confidants, so can you hazard a guess I am about half way through?

Qazimod Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 Yeah, I'd say you're just over halfway. I don't want to give too much away about swerves, but you'll be doing much more "significant" palace/story stuff soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradigor Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Bloody hell the Spoiler Okumura boss is kicking my arse. I get past the waves, but then I am then destroyed by his large director bot.

I get past the waves, but then I am then destroyed by his large director bot. Think I need to maybe grind mementos for a couple of days to level up and stock up okay so that was changed from vanilla, it's the notorious spike that has no business being there. recommendation: Spoiler fuse a persona that does multiple medium psi damage, i forgot what its called but you have two options for persona to have these at roughly the level you should be at if you don't want to grind. make sure you have multi medium elemental skills to cover all the drones so you have time to do damage to okumura's shadow. make judicious use of buffs/debuffs with one of your characters and make sure you have lots of sp regen or recovery. if you're still struggling, either knock it down to the easiest possible difficulty or merciless (seriously, this boss is easier on merciless than it is on hard because of the multipliers) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue there is the party order. It hasn't fallen in my favour quite yet. I'll do some research on another persona to use as I think I have one that Garu and Magaruda (sp) I do need a better option for Psi as I don't have one persona with both. Instead I have a couple with multi enemy and one with single. So ideally need to bring them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazimod Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Notes on the drone phase: Spoiler I was able to destroy them before the execution order by using the medium single-target skill on each enemy. So, Psio rather than Mapsi. Your cumulative damage output for multiple Psio knockdowns will be better than the Mapsi approach. (@SMD mentions "multiple medium psi damage", which would be Mapsio - this would work as well, but if you can't get there yet then a series of single-target Psios will work too.) The director phase is a bit less stressful if you can get the drones phase over and have plenty of time to spare... Spoiler Do what you can to counter the nerfs on your party and the buffs on himself. E.g. if he hits your party with Marakunda, get someone to cast Marakukaja. Also guard after Big Bang Order so that you don't get hit too hard by Big Bang Challenge. Outside of all of that, it helps just to step back and level up a bit more so that you clear the drones quickly. If anything, it might take the edge off the time limit!

bradigor Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 It does show just how good the game is though. Usually I'd have gone "fuck this for a laugh. I'm done" and moved on to a different game.

Qazimod Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 I've added a couple more things to the OP: Atlus have a web manual online which will help with a lot of gameplay concepts.

bradigor Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 By the by... One tip I used for that boss was to Spoiler Put the difficulty up to Merciless as you get bigger amounts of attack damage. Honestly, even the couple of enemies I had to take on whilst I made my way up were piss easy at that level. So should I just keep it? Or will it kick my arse?

bradigor Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Quick one regarding catching personas. I am obliterating most of them in one hit (even on highest difficulty) which makes it near impossible to negotiate. Is the only way to use items to expose weaknesses? Rather than persona abilities?

Qazimod Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 You could always go to the Velvet Room and deliberately create something (or find something you've registered) with weaker skills (e.g. Agi instead of Agidyne)?
