Learn how to defeat The Reaper in Persona 3 FES with this detailed walkthrough. Includes strategies, party member AI settings, and item drops for Part 59.

This section of the guide focuses on strategies for defeating The Reaper, a powerful optional boss in Persona 3 FES. It also details the Monad dungeon, which becomes accessible after defeating The Reaper.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Encountering The Reaper: Wait on any non-boss floors in Tartarus until The Reaper appears. Having Enemy Advantage increases the chance he'll use Break spells on your team.
  2. 2
    Battle Flow: Aim for a specific turn order: MC > Koro > Ai > Reaper > Aki. If the order is not met, use a Persona with Trafuri to escape and re-equip a Persona with dual-absorb to make The Reaper reappear.
  3. 3
    Party Settings: Set Ai and Koro to "Knock Down" and Aki to "Support."
  4. 4
    Strategy (Direct Combat): On MC's first turn, cast Thunder Reign to inflict Shock. Use All-Out Attack (AoA) after Koro attacks. Cancel Ai's AoA to ensure The Reaper is knocked down again. Aki should cast Matarunda, Marakunda, and Masukunda to lower The Reaper's Agility and Evasion, making Odin's Thunder Reign more effective. Aki may also cast Ziodyne. If The Reaper is Shocked, MC can attack or use this turn to restore SP or cast buffs. Continue with Koro's AoA and cancel Ai's AoA. If MC misses Thunder Reign, The Reaper will likely cast Break spells, which is manageable. Missing more than twice is problematic.
  5. 5
    Strategy (Indirect Combat - Cheating): If you are Lv 88+, you can let your party members defeat The Reaper. Set their priority to "Defeat Shadows." Heal them with Diarahan, Medical Powders, or Beads. After about ten minutes, use Soma to heal everyone and attack. This method is less guaranteed and can be tedious.
Tips
  • Summon Personas with Trafuri (e.g., Pixie, Black Frost, Sati) and Lv 65 Odin for the direct combat strategy.
  • Dual-absorb Personas can help manage The Reaper's attacks.
  • Masukunda is crucial for lowering The Reaper's Agility and Evasion.
  • If MC misses Thunder Reign, The Reaper will likely cast Break spells, which is not ideal but survivable.
  • The indirect combat method requires patience and is not guaranteed to work.
  • Dropped Item(s): Bloody Button
  • Link(s): Rank 2-X Judgment
