Current Events > Fighting the final boss in Persona 3. One of my characters got charmed.

(+) Yeah! (+)

When a character gets charmed, they switch sides - they attack the party and support the enemies.

The final boss of Persona 3 is a total damage sponge. It has 6000 HP, and all damage against it is halved. It also has a move that deflects all damage, which makes the fight even longer. So I've been chipping away at this bastard for about an hour.

I'm down to the last eighth of its healthbar. And out of nowhere, it drops a party-spanning attack with the chance of charming each of the characters.

Yukari, my main healer, gets charmed.

She uses Mediarahan on the final boss.

The final boss recovers all of its health.

The worst part is this Moonlight Gown move which deflects all damage. It doubles the amount of time this fight would take otherwise, and it's gone back to using it because it went back to the phases I already played through.

It's pretty painful to continue. But there are 12 stages of this fight I already beat which took up enough time on its own, so I'm in it for the long haul. But fuck, this sucks.

Ok

evasion buff reduces the chance of status effects landing iirc, tho you should have two stacks of all 3 buffs on everyone and 2x debilitate on nyx all the time anyway

could also swear there are accessories that null status effects

pretty shitty boss, iirc, due to all of that BS.

I think I used Lucifer to make it a lot easier, but it was still really annoying.

almost every party member has a healing spell that will fully heal the final boss
it makes the final boss annoying to fight

you need to get anti charm accessories through fusion to win

I fought it three times, and I keep losing. Again - this boss fight has 13 stages, and the last stage has buffed defense and a damage-shielding move that extends the fight artificially. It's just a game, but it's an endurance test and it's taking a lot out of me.

I'm gonna recall some old Personas, equip some new equipment and give it one more go. But after that, I'm done for the time being.

The arcana is the means by which all is revealed, tbqh fr fr

Between this and Wily Capsule 7...

I'd still probably take this tbh.

---

I kept back-up saves, so I think I'm gonna go back and train more for the final boss.

its not a matter of training
its a matter of getting null charm equipment
there is a persona that gives an item at a certain level which is a null charm accessory
level it up to just before it would give the item. register it in the compenduim and then keep rebuying it to get multiple copies of it

dont remember which persona but if you do this the boss fight becomes a lot easier because the boss fight itself isnt hard its only real threat is charming someone and then having that character full heal the final boss
which is going to happen cause only like 2 party members dont learn any healing skills

Narcissus, if you went all the way with Yukari just fusing her should boost her to the needed level, makes it pretty easy to get multiple copies.

Also this happened twice with DSP and it made him ragequit the game people paid $1500 to get him to play lol.

this is some BS.

this dude gets paid thousands of dollars to play through games, and he has the nerve to drop some of them until he's offered even more hundreds or thousands.
