A detailed walkthrough for Persona 5's True Ending (2) path, covering bosses like Herald of Death, Cleanser of Heaven, Declarer of Anguish, Apocalyptic Guide, and The Holy Grail.
Walkthrough
- 1Path to the Holy Grail: Before starting, ensure you have a Persona with Curse skills. Access the Velvet Room for healing from Lavenza. In the first area, find two chests: one east after ascending (contains Over Guard) and another after jumping a gap (contains Kongou Ofuda). Proceed to the first boss.
- 2BOSS - Herald of Death: This boss summons Zealous Messengers (Angels) weak to Curse skills. Prioritize defeating the Messengers as they can buff the boss and heal him significantly. The boss resists Bless and can be knocked down with critical hits. His attacks include physical skills like Bloodbath, Myriad Slashes, Deathbound, and Megidola. He can resummon Messengers.
- 3After Herald of Death: Return to Lavenza for healing. The second area has patrolling enemies but no treasures. Use this area for grinding or acquiring new Personas. Proceed to the next boss.
- 4BOSS - Cleanser of Heaven: This boss uses Heat Riser on himself, followed by Charge, and then Sword Dance. He repeats this pattern. A Persona that repels or blocks physical attacks is recommended, as is a character with Dekaja to remove buffs.
- 5After Cleanser of Heaven: The third area has more enemies. Proceed to the next boss.
- 6BOSS - Declarer of Anguish: This boss uses Divine Judgement (reduces HP by 50%) twice, then Maziodyne and Mabufudyne. Be mindful of elemental weaknesses. The fight is straightforward due to her predictable pattern.
- 7After Declarer of Anguish: The fourth area has two chests guarded by enemies. Defeat the enemies to obtain a Soma and an Empathy Cape. Proceed to the next boss.
- 8BOSS - Apocalyptic Guide: This boss combines moves from previous bosses. He summons Zealous Messengers (defeat them first), uses Charge and Sword Dance, and Divine Judgement followed by Maziodyne. He can also use Debilitate and Megidolaon. If Messengers are alive, he may attack normally or get critical hits. Use Charge/Concentrate for high damage.
- 9After Apocalyptic Guide: The platform is a safe room. Return to Lavenza for healing and Persona fusion. Prepare for the final boss.
- 10BOSS - The Holy Grail: This refight has an expanded move set. At the start, send a character (e.g., Ryuji) to cut the lines at the top to prevent the boss from healing via Will of the People, while others distract it. The boss uses Arrow of Light, Light Edge (party-wide), and Diffraction Arrow (hits multiple characters, can inflict Forget).
