Pro tip: stop calling a game Broken because it has strong equipment in it. Doesn’t mean the game is broken. It just means it has powerful items for you to obtain.

[@Gongibongi]

As someone forced to be efficient with games due to IRL time issues, these guides have been a lifesaver to waste as little time as possible, thanks!

[@JRPGSamurai]

Glad to hear this Gong, we are the same, meaning I need to be efficient with my time so I can create more content. Always welcome and more guides to come!

[@Ryne91]

Me: Watching this with rapt attention Also me: Already platinumed the game and finished New Game+

[@JRPGSamurai]

Lovely Ryne and congrats on getting the Platinum Trophy. Great game.

[@SaiyanGamer95]

I'll be honest, if I knew about the King's Sovereignity beforehand finishing the game, I would have done so before taking on the final boss. I also kinda regret not farming those giant Homo Tenta enemies, as I didn't know they dropped HP and MP-increasing items. I was really hurting for MP during the final boss and those Magla Potions were basically placing an adhesive bandage over a gash.

[@JRPGSamurai]

It's nice to have some real challenges at times. But you made it. Final Boss is fun indeed. But can be an ass at times XD.

[@yovnx]

I'm already on NG+ and I managed to max all virtues (eloquence was the last for a reason) and all confidants were also maxed out. I could not complete the devour of flames because or its BS 9999 fire attack and I could not get enough equipment resistant to fire, I didn't make any debates because I didn't really care, could not fight all the arena fights required for the achievement because of the weather at the end of the game and some royal archetypes were also not activated because I also did not grind enough to level enough archetypes. This is what I'm doing now on NG+

[@JRPGSamurai]

It's alright, good job on finishing the game still and no worries, you will have a lot of time in NG+ to prep enough for the challenges. Thanks for sharing!

[@BladeSerph]

To be fair, they mislead you by the boss order and you need to defeat the two other dragons to get TWO of the null fire armor and then you get the third null fire from golden beetle. With the LAST anti fire item being from a dungeon which is a repel fire boots that can be repeatedly purified like many other armor pieces to change to any of the 4 main damage elements for easy repel flexibility gearing. The only thing I believe I ACTUALLY missed out besides free stats, would be the FULLY MASTERED Royal archetypes of all characters to get the chronicles of end key item so you got the most broken synthesis skill to deal 9999 damage to enemies at a staggering mp cost. But since you could combine it with other synthesis enhancement gear and passives, that mp cost should be far easy to abuse for wiping out higher level stuff and maybe even use it to farm certain difficult fights if they have less then 9999 hp.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Spot on!

[@alvinvalentino5797]

Here's a trick Give the thing fire weakness Give your tank a repel fire equipment Use a taunt skill Profit

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@alvinvalentino5797 Yeap I tried this lol, toasted man.

[@worldshaking0502]

I agree that NG+ is weak, but I really enjoyed this game and it’s my personal GOTY.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Ah no, what I am referring to is that the thumbnail design is people should avoid having a weak NG+ Start. But man, my experience in this game is stellar in many aspects.

[@worldshaking0502]

@@JRPGSamurai well NG+ is indeed weak. Haha. Just one super boss and nothing else.

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@worldshaking0502 yeah if we are talking about its own aspect, its really disappointing imo just one additional content and poof.

[@lens_hunter]

It's a fun game but I've played much better this year. It's certainly no Persona 5.

[@JRPGSamurai]

yes Lens it is certainly a great game. Having so much fun with it till now. I was only referring to its NG+ content.

[@SimonHendry-w5x]

Samurai strikes again. Thanks dude

[@JRPGSamurai]

Thanks Si as always!

[@raen5256]

I recommend eveyone to max out their bond with Basilio asap because it has an invisible deadline for the final tier.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Thanks for the Tip raen! I remember the days that I was rushing Bas's Bond haha! Fun times.

[@pawep2966]

I already beat ng+ on regicide and only died once outside turn base mode because I was too lazy to heal and other time to big tooth enemy. Good tips though. PS. It was very boring playthrough. I would glady play again on merciless difficulty from persona 5 than regicide.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Congrats on beating the game! Would love to cover Persona 5 as well soon. For me, it is such a bummer that the super boss is the sole new content in NG+. The reason why it was boring as well, NG+ I mean is we will spend the rest of free time trying to sleep or increasing our stats haha!

[@pawep2966]

@JRPGSamurai or fishing xD

[@JRPGSamurai]

LOL! Yeah. Haven't done much of fishing. Will try it for the lols.

[@robertsilvermyst7325]

I was not able to get Bas's follower up by the end because I did not know that you have to be riding your runner in order to start it up until the last few days.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Its ok, mistakes happens and it is part of the game. Enjoy every part of it and yeah, there were certain bonds that can only be leveled up in the runner Robert. Hope you can max him in NG+!

[@BladeSerph]

To be fair, you having to wait till the last month of the 2nd to last dungeon didn’t do the game any favors and I started it 2 weeks late but since I always cleared dungeons in a single day I ended up having around 9 extra days before I started skybound avatar after maxing out all arenas, followers maxed, all side quests done, all FOUR trial boss fights and so on and of course all virtues done. I could optimize better by save scumming every day to get gauntlet runner mushrooms and and did every idlesday toliet dumps to get every single +1 luck bonus from every 5 day period.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Yeah same, I was around 13 days when I maxed it all. Speaking of Ba's, I dunno what ATLUS is thinking, they are notorious of unlocking party members pretty late. Bas is indeed the victim now.

[@Mr.Glitch]

I killed the last dragon on the last free day, I didnt realise there'd be additional steps afterwards so didnt complete that questline. Gutted!

[@JRPGSamurai]

You are referring to the tower trials? If yes oh man yeah, there's a secret boss still after that. Its ok, let's go NG+!

[@Mr.Glitch]

@JRPGSamurai Getting on it today! ❤️

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@Mr.Glitch Have fun and let's go!

[@jamezn7729]

So all of your teammates will have to have the archetype tree near maxed out or fully maxed to get their weapons??

[@JRPGSamurai]

Each party member provides a different archetype lineage weapon at 90% and their own Archetype Lineage weapon at 100%

[@thatkenesu9843]

I have about 21 days left before the deadline, im only about level 55 and struggled at early parts of the sky avatar. I completed most of the side quests so idk why im so underlevelled. Any tips on where i can farm levels? Level 55 seems low to take on the dragon trials :/

[@JRPGSamurai]

First is I commend you, meaning you straightly progged naturally in the game and it take skills. We are the same in this regard. I usually do straight progression especially during my first playthroughs to be accurate in my reviews. So for your question, since you've accepted the Trials and the quest is active, you can farm in Dragon Temple, most efficient to boost you up till you are strong enough to access the best spots in the final dungeon. You can check my Mid Game and End Game Farming Spots Guide as both videos covered the Dragon Temple spot.

[@thatkenesu9843]

i checked your video, the thing is i dont have access to the places and its tough to beat the boss cos my damage is peanuts for some reason. Im in sky avatar but i cant get to the spots u showed cos i think thats the later parts. Am i screwed should i just restart the game lol

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@thatkenesu9843 Oh, you can actually level up in Sky Avatar. You think you can level a full tycoon setup? Because you can use this broken setup to level up in Sky Avatar, now, if its ok to you, you can even lower the difficulty on easy. But I think it will be fine on normal. Such a waste to restart.

[@anthonyschlott916]

​@@JRPGSamurai I'm about the same boat here and I feel very much unprepared. Think I spent most of my mag and time rather unwisely, chasing 'ideal' skills I wanted to inherit.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Sad to hear but in my honest opinions, if someone is stuck in Sky Avatar, it is still redeemable. We do have a lot of setup to take advantage of and the game can be set on easy to be able to farm in the Avatar. Gain some levels in the Avatar and then, take advantage of the best spots in the final dungeon.

[@nicholasnajibi3082]

It has such a good new game +

[@JRPGSamurai]

Nothing much to be honest other than a bonus boss. I would love to see a better implementation next time.

[@raen5256]

It's my first Atlus game and I totally mismanaged some of my time so I probably won't be able to max out my bond with all my Followers members. Alonzo and Bardon are underdeveloped for the time I have left. Unless I can do that after idk

[@Shillian88]

Just a couple of days is not a problem. I lost 3 entire days on trips and i completed all social bond like 2 weeks before the end. An advice, if you are tempted for the arena's rewards, you can do it both in day and night, except when it rains.

[@JRPGSamurai]

Yeap, its ok, enjoy every decision, bad or good, its part of the game. I have also wasted some of the days but I think you will still do fine at your final days. Even if you missed maxing all the bonds, you still have NG+. I hope you enjoy your first ATLUS experience!

[@JRPGSamurai]

Agree, mentioned that you can do this at night as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@sozaj]

Are you saying "Bad Souls" or "bath salts"?

[@JRPGSamurai]

Bath Salts indeed.

[@solomani-42]

So character levels don’t carry over? You are level 1?

[@JRPGSamurai]

Yes they don't carry over also your stats. But your Archetype level does.

[@solomani-42]

@ so it’s a bit different to normal NG+. Thanks. Another question when you master an archetype it will say “X received +2 to Luck” or similiar. Are those permanent or linked to the archetype (ie you need to have the archetype equipped to get the bonus)?

[@XxChronOblivionxX]

Going to be using a modded fresh save file for my Regicide run, because honestly I've never really understood the appeal of carrying over so much stuff for future runs.

[@JRPGSamurai]

My only concern is really, we need more time and content to use the Royals. Unlocks pretty late in the game and no significant content in NG+. I am sure it will be corrected on the next re release lol.

[@dev2revved216]

Does anyone know in Gold Beetles transfer to NG+

[@JRPGSamurai]

It does Dev. I mentioned all of the things that carries over to NG+.

[@ThatBoiTurbo]

Even Georgia's insiders have Crystall Balled Juju to Colorado, they know he's not committing there. Also, you're right their QB room is already full and they have 4* Ryan Montgomery out of Findlay, Ohio in this 2025 recruiting class.

[@Megidolaon999]

Worst ever ATLUS NG+

[@JRPGSamurai]

Sadly yeah, not feeling it very rewarding in a lot of cases.

[@daeft]

I honestly don’t understand Atlus’ priorities for what they include in NG+. In P3, P3R, & SMTV, items, demon/persona progress, and levels are carried over; in P5R & Metaphor, items and persona/archetype progress is carried over, but NOT levels; and in P4G, ONLY persona progress is carried over.

[@JRPGSamurai]

@@daeft Yeah I've been wondering too myself. Such an empty NG+. Not to mentioned that horrendous Royal Archetype window time.

[@Megidolaon999]

@@daeft 💯 percent agree with you on this.
