GAMERDOME put down LOSER
I see they kept the wonderful design that is that Macabre miniboss that ambushes you after a ton of cutscenes, that's nice. Can't get rid of that memorable fight.

The other response wasn't correct. After you get Unlock B, you unlock an area on the first floor, and move up to the second floor. There will be a room where it says Horkos isn't there, although he sounds like next door. There should be a hidden door near there (you have to look at the wall) on the floor. Go into the room that leads to. I don't know if you still need help with this, but hopefully it will help people that have this problem in the future.

too many hidden doors and areas for me to remember :sweatdrop:

can nebiros please get some chill

i show up for a jolly good new game + boss fight and he just oneshots half my party with an almighty move that hits harder than anything else in the game so far and gives everyone random status effects

he uses this move every single turn

gonna need you to take it from a 10 down to a 3 bud

and apparently these bosses just straight-up instakill you if you take too long fighting them

looks like it's time to either farm up a ton of d-cores or, more likely, just scale the difficulty down to casual because wow gently caress this

Is it that you took too long, or is it because you fully maxed out a Kaja/nda, because that also triggers instant game overs.

took too long, you can actually max out buffs/debuffs on most of them(except for one, who will instakill you if you debuff him at all) and it's necessary to survive their attacks most of the time

whenever I start to stabilize or almost win they just fart out Doomsday, an almighty attack that hits everyone for like 2000 damage

basically you can't war of attrition these guys, you need to steamroll them with maxed-out demons

oh and did i mention they change weaknesses every time you hit theirs, and also the data resets so you have to guess all over again every time

e: nebiros is probably the worst one since he starts vulnerable to gun but also instakills anyone who attacks him with phys/gun even if they miss

"I'm Jack Frost, ho! Nice to meet ya, hee ho!"



Speaking of fights that are angering...

I'm currently stuck at the Fornax fight against Asherah. It is really annoying, as they consistently enrage all of my guys right from the get go, and they kill one another. I'm guessing the solution is to either give the protagonist an anti physical armor (and have a anti physical demon team). I could do that, but I really hate bosses that spam statuses where your members do random things. At least the charm status has a decent chance of missing in my experience. The rage thing seems to hit every time.

^ Raged characters can't hit themselves. It's a power boost that only has one drawback in that you lose control. You can have real Fire resistance for the MC. If you're really having trouble with the easiest of the Fornax minibosses, then just solo her. Thanks to item priority and Rage's low duration, she has no response to that so it makes the fight a complete joke :v:

Does it matter if I start with Persona 5 or should I just grab a cheap copy of 4 to start?

Start with whatever Persona you want. 5 is really good. Going back to 3 and 4 will be more painful after the polish that you get in 5, but there is no reason that you need to play the games in any particular order.

Fighting the party member A.I in Persona 3 combined with game overs for MC death is WAY more frustrating than anything in Persona 2's combat system.

I never had any idea what the gently caress I was doing in Persona 2 but the party AI is easy enough to wrangle in 3. I don't even think 3 is a very good game anymore, though.
