The current levels are used to determine the order they will be fused in for determining arcana, the highest being used last. As for the determining the level, add the base levels of the personas used, divide by three, add five, then round up. At least, that's what this gamefaqs guide says.

I wanted to max the s-links without a guide, but was not being all OCD about it. I'm doing pretty well. I'm at the (end of october spoiler) bathhouse scene, and Adachi's s-link is only at level 3. For the longest time he wasn't around during the days at Junes even though his s-link at the time was a daytime s-link, and I always did the dungeon runs on the first rainy day after the dungeons became available. It was just lovely luck. So yeah I read that he becomes unavailable on November 1, forever? Is that true? that sucks.

Oh god. Out of nostalgia I've tried replaying the Playstation Final Fantasy games when PSN had a sale a few weeks back and it's like pulling teeth. Jumping into Persona 4 having not played it before is like high-fiving a hand made entirely out of breasts. This is fantastic.

Spoilers for end game contained. So I got the true ending and read Adachi's letter but I didn't see anything pop up to say I had maxed the social link. I had it at level 6 before Nanako got kidnapped. Am I missing something? My NG+ doesn't have an item for it either.

You needed to have met with him alone when the game prompted you in December and it will change arcana. Then going through and completing the dungeon will have gotten it up to 9. Then it maxes with the letter in March, with an extra bit of writing not in the vanilla game.

Nate RFB posted:This partly the reason why it's best scheduling-wise to complete the dungeons on the first day they are unlocked, rather than the first rainy day. I am not sure this is 100% correct if you are going for completing all S-links. Certain things could work better if you check out some of the guides on say gamefaqs.

I did a similar thing, then paused, and started playing P3P instead. Going to come back to NG+ for P4G after that's finished (and then switch to P3P FMC NG+). Crazy amount of gameplay between these two games.

This of course doesn't apply to the April and December dungeons, which should be completed as late as possible (or the first rainy day in April's case). I skipped basically all bike dates but I was able to max every link on my first playthrough this way. Not that you should necessarily try for that, though! It just sort of happened in my case.

The chance of getting a fusion accident is directly proportional to how much you seriously need this fusion to work.

On my first NG+ I got two fusion accidents in a row on the first fusion of the game. The next attempt was successful, then I had another accident. That drained a good chunk of the money I had carried over  I managed to finish the rest of the compendium, ~60%, with only one more accident. I wonder if you can have a fusion accident on Izanagi-no-Okami...

Speaking of rareness, how rare are Death's appearances in chests? I hadn't seen him once through several dungeons, and then I ran into him twice on the same floor, in two chests around the corner from one another. After that, I didn't see him for the rest of the game.

Mara owns.  Edit: Just for the record, Mara is available through normal fusion, it's not some "oh your fusion hosed up here's this special PENIS." kind of situation. She's of the Tower Arcana.

OK, so, I am in dire need of some help here. Shadow Rise, according to my googling, is supposed to be one of the game's relatively easy fights since she's just a warm up for Shadow Teddie. However, I'm finding her to be horribly, ridiculously overpowered, due to her total lack of weaknesses. The most effective strategy I've found is to use Chie's Revolution and rush her, but the critical rate is still bad, and it takes considerable luck for me to even get her to the first bit of dialogue. The problem is just that while she has no weaknesses, I do, and when she's using hit-every-character elemental magic most of the time, she WILL get a weakness, and often ends up landing 3 or even 4 turns in a row while I'm totally unable to do the same. My current lack of revival beads doesn't help (Yukiko does have Recarm, though). How the hell do I fight an powerful boss with no weaknesses in a game where the combat is all about exploiting weaknesses?

Try fusing up a Persona with no elemental weaknesses. You also may want to fuse up a healing Persona so you can back Yukiko up, especially something with Recarm so you can revive her if she dies. Of course, if worse comes to worse, you can always drop out of the dungeon and grab some Revival Beads, assuming you're not on the last day (and even if you are, it might be a good idea to go ahead and get the game over, it'll move you back a week) Accessories that grant Dodge <Element> skills are useful for protecting your weaknesses as well, if you've got any, and make sure to cast (Ma)sukukaja and/or Sukunda. Physical attacks are a good strategy. Use Chie's Revolution and go with hard-hitting physicals with her and the MC (multi-hit ones are the best, since you get that many extra chances to crit), but stick with magic with Yukiko. If you've been leveling Kanji up, you might consider using him instead of Yosuke, so you can smash her with more powerful physical hits. Having both Kanji and Chie is kind of redundant, but it shouldn't matter too much. You don't have to drain her to 0 HP, by the way. After awhile plot will take over, I think it's something like half her heath, but I'm not sure.

Thanks. I don't know how much the Persona with the lack of weaknesses will do, though - my main problem is that she usually lands one of the others' weaknesses and gets a free turn off of that. I'm constantly getting Chie being hit by Maragi or Maragion, or Yukiko hit by Mabufu, and then she uses Bufula on Yukiko, and then uses another Ma- ability, and by that point I'm basically dead without being able to do anything at all - even stuff like Maragi when used on characters with no fire weakness still seems to nuke 50% of their health. I don't know why the hell I'm taking so much damage, my levels are around 30-32. I'll look at what accessories I have, and switch over to Kanji, but it just seems like such an unfair fight. She gets to constantly hit every character at once for huge damage and get new turns even if she only exploits a single weakness, but when I try to respond in kind the game is just like "Nope". I'll keep up the Revolution and do what I can.

Otherwise, it might work to just fuse a Persona with no weakness, and have your other party members guard every turn. If they're guarding, weaknesses are nulled.

He's not too tough, just a gigantic slog. The good thing about him is that he doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve like Shadow Rise, just wail on him while keeping your HP and defenses up. Running out of MP is the real danger, I find. He also has a super powerful gimmick move that Rise warns you about, and is nullified completely if you guard. So that's fairly easy to deal with.

Sorry, but he just completely wiped me out. He hit everyone so loving hard with one attack that Yukiko went from 100% health to dead immediately. Now I have to beat Shadow Rise all over again, and I'll have to beat her all over again every time Shadow Teddie kills me. gently caress you, Atlus. It's this kind of poo poo that makes people want to just stop playing a game. I just wish there was a Regen-like spell - I keep ending up spending every turn healing and this unable to progress, because of the huge damage dealt to everyone.

In regards to strategies for bosses in P4G: I really found Physical based Personas were way more useful in P4G than in P4 originally. Kanji became one of my most valuable characters by end game by doing way more damage to most enemies/bosses.

Ok, I beat Shadow Teddie. I see the point that he's more of a HP wall than actually 'tough'. Still, I did end up having to do some leveling - the key to victory ended up being a Ganga that I got to learn Mediarama. That combined with the Ganga's ice absorption was about 80% of how I won. And yes, constant smart guarding whenever he did a charge was very much my friend. Thanks for the help in showing up that rear end in a top hat nihilist.
