Complete Persona 5 Strikers post game requests, including fighting the Reaper for Joker's ultimate weapon and unlocking NG+.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by accepting approximately 9 new requests.
  2. 2
    For the Trapped in the Great Tree request, find the desire on the Path of Surrender, in the same location as the southwestern chest (a chest is a container for items). This rewards you with the Master Coffee recipe.
  3. 3
    The A Thief's Special Challenge request is self-explanatory and rewards the Master Curry recipe.
  4. 4
    The Painful Past Demiurge request requires you to replay the final boss, including all of its phases. Ensure you are well-prepared.
  5. 5
    Junk Collection Part 9 is also self-explanatory.
  6. 6
    Next are the Painful Past+ requests, which are harder versions of story bosses with increased health, attack power, and more dangerous skills.
  7. 7
    Completing the first 3 Painful Past+ requests unlocks the remaining 2, including the final boss version.
  8. 8
    Your reward for each Painful Past+ request is the related party member's strongest weapon.
  9. 9
    A new fusion boss battle request becomes available, featuring a powered-up Metatron. The strategy is similar to the previous fight, but bring more items.
  10. 10
    As most requests are boss battles, restock at the shop. Since city shops are unavailable, run up the Tree of Knowledge from the first floor to the Hall of Contracts to earn money and items; enemies here are weak to gun attacks.
  11. 11
    Fuse high-level Personas and level them up significantly.
  12. 12
    After clearing all previous requests, a final request to fight the Reaper will appear.

Fighting the Reaper:

  • The Reaper has immense health and shields, is resistant to all elements, and can cast powerful Almighty attacks that can one-hit KO or severely injure party members. He also has a lower critical hit rate.
  • Stockpile a large quantity of healing and revival items. SP items are less crucial as elemental damage is not very effective against him.
  • Fuse a Persona with 99 in all stats (e.g., Yoshitsune or a Persona with severe/colossal physical damage attacks). Focus on dealing critical damage with physical skills and healing with items when necessary. Use SP for buffs and occasional Almighty attacks.
  • Continuously attack with Joker's combos for higher damage per second.
  • Bring several Personas that Null or Drain each element to safely attack without reprisal. The Reaper's attacks cannot be interrupted by breaking shields.
  • When the Reaper's health drops to half, he increases his damage output, uses more elemental attacks, and casts Megidolaon directly at your position. Dodge away from the Reaper and your teammates when the indicator appears to avoid the blast, as he only targets Joker.
  • Upon defeating the Reaper and completing the request, you receive Joker's ultimate weapon.
  • Speak to Lavenza to receive the Spiral Bookmark, unlock New Game+ (NG+), and Merciless difficulty.
  • NG+ includes new features like fusing Lucifer and buying incense from Sophia's shop.
Tips
  • Restock healing and revival items before tackling post-game requests, as city shops are closed.
  • Consider grinding in the Tree of Knowledge for money and items before difficult boss fights.
  • Focus on creating powerful Personas with high stats and strong physical attacks for the Reaper.
  • Bring Personas with elemental resistances to counter the Reaper's varied attacks.
  • Continuously attack with Joker's combos to maximize damage output.
  • Dodge Megidolaon carefully by moving away from the target area.
  • Master Coffee recipe (Trapped in the Great Tree)
  • Master Curry recipe (A Thief's Special Challenge)
  • Related party member's strongest weapon (for each Painful Past+ request)
  • Joker's ultimate weapon (Fighting the Reaper)
  • Spiral Bookmark (after defeating the Reaper)
  • Unlock NG+ and Merciless difficulty (after defeating the Reaper)
