How to beat Elizabeth! Complete No Orpheus Telos/DLC Guide - Persona 3 Reload

[@bainz]

Reminder that you don't have to beat the fight the exact way I did! As long as you know the rules, there are a lot of ways to beat Elizabeth, even if you go into Phase 3. I just like completing the fight quickly lol

[@storba3860]

The guide online said "Just spam Morningstar". Why in the Hell would I pick a move that barely breaks 1k?

[@davidwatson1217]

hi, I can't seem to do the saki fusion path, thor and masakado create hele for me. what can i do?

[@jschannel6319]

I think another useful tip is to scan Liz as many times as you can to further increase Fuuka’s Theurgy Gauge. Not completely necessary, but it did help me on a few attempts

[@bainz]

Yeah, that can be good to do! I just didn't do it in this vid because it didn't help me get another Fuuka Theurgy in time

[@Leo_Turtle]

Breaking her rules to do some damage and prevent the boss from healing was genius. It reminds me of a strat in P5R where you can solo Lavenza by intentionally using a Persona weak to Psi and Nuke to keep her distracted.

[@Ziroikabi]

*yawn* Megidolaon something something... All jokes aside really great video! Not just from the builds and the fight but how you explained everything as it happened and why. Super clear and a great guide! I dont think anyone should have trouble following this. Hopefully this means a lot more people will be able to beat her now!

[@tamalpodrido8960]

Struggled a little with doing too much dmg and skipping to phase 3, but at the end, it really worked. Nice vid.

[@mug8171]

Hey, just a tip for you guys who are playing on hard mode: if you don't have any shock personas and you're going to use Skadi to deal damage in the first phase, try removing Ice Boost instead of Ice Amp. It'll deal around 6k damage against her fire persona. This little extra damage was what finally helped me defeat her. Skadi with only Ice Boost didn't deal enough damage, so Elizabeth always survived my Armageddon in the end. Hope it helps. Great video, thanks for the guide!

[@bainz]

Ah, nice call! That'll be useful for anyone playing on Hard, thanks!

[@Merciless_Zero]

@@bainz removing ice boost? Wouldn’t ice boost help boost damage and stack ontop of ice amp? Why would removing it cause more damage?

[@devilmayshart]

Best guide for this on YT. thank you much 😎😎😎

[@DienF]

Thanks for the video! It worked out great!

[@uchihakeyblade]

I followed a similar style as far as the elements and workings go with the following personas and got it done. HUGE THANK YOU FOR THIS! After multiple instances of her using double megidoloan..... Scathach - Persona I have the auto skills on. Messiah - Support Persona with Concentrate, Heat Riser, Debilitate, and Charge. Satan - Ice Build Odin - Lightning Build (couldn't use Thunder Reign otherwise she would heal back to normal, but Maziodyne did the work funny enough). Lucifer - Almighty Build with Morning Star and Endure. Asura - Mainly for the final moment (added repel strike to make it work) and has Enduring Soul.

[@iwantitpaintedblack542]

thank you

[@Megidolaon999]

Soooo much easier then the FES fight. At least a lot of its charm is still here!!

[@tuviaso]

Saki mitama mentioned!!! 💯

[@AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

Thank you for including an extra but at the end about hard mode! I’ll keep that in mind for my fight.

[@rustyshackleford2672]

I beat this on Merciless exactly as the video said to, beat for beat, without using incense on recommended Personas and just getting them to level 99. Except Satan, because I did an almighty build of him with amp, boost and max magic stat, maybe making up for any lost damage. I also only needed to hold an accessory with Enduring Soul and Sid's Jacket for Endure. Great tips, but overkill. Knowing this channel, hey, I get it; big number makes for bigger satisfaction. :) Satan -Black Viper (Learned and unique to only Satan) -Morning Star (Inherit from Helel) -Almighty Amp (Inherit. Mutation, easily achieved from passing Almighty Boost amongst cheap Personas repeatedly) -Almighty Boost (Inherit from Helel) -Single-Target Boost (Card) -Multi-Target Boost (Card) -Spell Master (Card or inherit) - Free Space (Repel Strike for boss fight, otherwise Enduring Soul, Victory Cry, Insta-Heal, or keep Repel Wind from movepool) Make a vid of this build if you want, it's the best vanilla Almighty build and the info should be spread.

[@bainz]

Thanks for the comment and yes aha, some tips are a bit overkill. Using incenses just meant that every player's damage if they attempted this would be roughly the same (stats after fusion can be slightly different depending on growth RNG). And they wouldn't need Almighty Amp, which takes a bit of RNG to get. Armor of Light/Divine Pillar definitely aren't required either, as you said the Enduring Soul/Endure equips work fine. Armor of Light/Divine Pillar could be slightly more useful if someone is trying to do the whole fight without heal skip

[@feliperojas9567]

Hey could I also use helen or thanatos(with morning star) as an alternetive ? cuz I have them build similiar to your lucifer.

[@rustyshackleford2672]

@@feliperojas9567 You absolutely can, but choosing Satan for Black Viper alongside Morning Star lets you have the most versatile vanilla Almighty build. Since I made this comment, I realized the best way to build this is have my previously mentioned 'free-space' be shift boost and wear the Hallowed Boots for it's Shift Amp ability. On all my other builds I cap off with shift boost using this setup. You don't need Ali Dance once you get omnipotent orb, so shoes of light is better for most party members instead. Anyways I get it, Satan is an ugly persona, but it is the most optimal. Unless you have DLC, Rebellion Blade from Loki A outshines Black Viper if its downed requirement is met... I think. I don't have DLC so I can't confirm.

my worst nightmare was when she said "i bring you megidolaon" and now i have no more worries excellent guide 9999/10 (get it? cuz megidolaon? (ok i stop my jokes are trash))

[@pre-violetmelain2984]

I did it in the worst way possible lmao. I played in peaceful, with orpheus for buffing, lucifer when she was going to use a movement where orpheus was weak, masakado for dmg (Slash boost+amp+apt pupil+the other one that increases crit+single target boost). I died like 10 times due to rng (she froze me, shocked me, etc. And i had lets say immunity to just the next attack lmao) Other 10 times due to my stupidity (blocked her attack when i knew that attacks was coming lmao). Now i downloaded the game again to do it in hard but i forgot to hang out with her lmaaaoooooo

[@Joker-eo6pq]

It’s okay

[@jefferyfosterjf]

@bainz Update I realized that resist physical meant resistance to pierce, strike, and slash. Wish they were more specific about it because when I looked it up others were saying different things also had to do something a bit different with saki because dlc. But I finally beat her last night!!!! After preparation for 1 day and 8 hours I finally did it and this strategy helped lots so thanks dude!! Even though you were doing a little bit more damage then me I couldn’t get her down enough at first she would survive Armageddon with a little bit of health. So sense my lighting persona wasn’t strong enough I had to wait a little bit and use debilitate on her an extra time which helped me dodge her Masakado megadolan and then I concentrated and heat rise myself an extra time so I could do almost 4k damage with Skadi diamond dust. Doing that got me into the second phase and helped me also do enough so Satan strategy could finish her off!!!! I regret waiting to do it right before the answer lol but I did it just in time!!

[@leorelic]

i FINALLY did it

[@ant7830]

For whatever reason my king and I with skadi and all of the boosts on it only does around 3k damage and not 5k. Don’t know why

[@leorelic]

for me its even lower , i fused everything the same way he did. i guess the main difference is that his Persona's stats are maxed when it comes to Strength and Magic , mine is St 92 and Ma 78 so unless i grind hard enough for Incenses to raise them i don't know what else i can do to beat her

[@ChaosSower99]

Soloing her is actually easier than Lavenza, since this fight doesn't require as much rng as soloing Lavenza

[@Spher0]

Because this fight is made for soloing, lavenza is not

[@Cheress11]

Lmao, you actually named your MC "Door". Nice guide btw!

[@halflight3236]

Very detailed and excellent guide that actually works! My only suggestion is that if you don’t want to go through the hassle of leveling Saki Mitama, Thanatos works fine as a replacement.

[@fapencio1236]

Tysm for the guide! I was struggling with she because i was in normal difficult and I dealt 10k damage and automaticallh enter phase 2, i put the game on hard and remove ice boost from skadi and I did 6k, then i since i didnt have a thunder persona, i just wait for her to get the fire persona she use at the beginning and deal damage with diamond dust around 2K then i just did what you did onthe video and everything works perfectly :D

[@cwp24]

I finally maxed all of my social links. I’m leveling up metatron and shiva to get their gems and then I’ll fuse your Saki mitama build and fuse my wind/ice focused Orpheus telos build. After that I’ll go fight Elizabeth on camera.

[@cwp24]

Update: I screwed up and forgot to buy the incenses. I ended up losing with my ice/wind build as it was just highly unviable. I decided to go a different route, instead of the Ice/Wind build on Orpheus telos, I decided to go with an almighty build with Orpheus telos, run the saki mitama build for buffing and debuffing. I decided I’m going to use Odin to hit the electric weakness for extra damage and use almighty damage on Orpheus telos on other turns until the electric weakness can be targeted again. Strategy is as follows: Phase 1: Debuff Elizabeth, buff MC until the electric weakness is exposed, after I hit the weakness then spam morning stars until Masakado comes out to play, after that repeat the beginning pattern of debuffs and buffs until said weakness is revealed. If you haven’t used Fuukas theurgy yet then save it for Phase 2. Same goes for trickster. Phase 2: When this phase starts use Fuukas theurgy and hope she cast’s concentrate. If it does then use an atrophying sutra or a debilitating sutra and unleash trickster after the first instakill megidoloan for big damage. Then cast concentrate and use morning star to get to phase 3. If she doesn’t cast concentrate then just use trickster immediately. After the instakill megidoloan just spam morning stars until you get to phase 3. Phase 3: Use the same strategy as phase 1 but due to her using 2 personas per turn, just keep buffing and debuffing until one of her turns ends on Cu Chulainn and strike the electric weakness and just spam the everliving fuck out of morning stars and if Fuuka casts concentrate use trickster. Keep this up until the fight is over. This hasn’t been tested yet, this is just my plan of attack. I will give this a try tomorrow. I’ll report back once I do. Edit: I forgot to Mention that I grabbed a concentrate buff from a cups card to start the fight with concentrate.

-Spoiler Alert / partially- Elizabeth’s eyes on first Megidolaon, she may be possessed by her “evil” shadow self. Igor is always trying to escape his “evil” shadow.

Idk if u can. Minimum u need 2 personas for resisting the double megidolaon

[@Dr-Deimos..]

A problem I encounter during this fight is not getting the heal skip, which is a hell of a pain considering now this would be my 5th attempt in my 3rd playthrough. And also just the J cup card never being the right one every shuffle time I get. Granted this is on hard so I don't know if its because I do too much damage with skadi considering I have both single target and multitarget boost along with ice amp. Or that my Odin deals too much (Edit: I have both elec boost and amp on my odin, and I don't know if removing elec amp is going to help me at all in terms of damage)

[@bainz]

Maybe try on a separate save file removing Ice Amp on Skadi (like I did during the Hard run in the vid), it may let you reach the right damage thresholds. If builds are the same as mine, it should work

[@Dr-Deimos..]

@@bainz But is elec amp on odin a bit much or should I keep it, because it always seems to stop the phase 2 dialogue from even showing

[@Dr-Deimos..]

And no matter how hard I try, I can never get Armageddon damage range on elizabeth no matter how much damage the gods hand does (Edit: I figured out my mistake, I forgot to put ice boost on skadi, lol)

[@lexycoarts]

Sorry but does the antique store really sells the card Resist Phys? Cause I really cannot find in the store 🤔 or maybe it's a quest?

[@UncleLarrrry]

Some tips for this bossfight if you happen to use this video as a guide and you happen to read this comment and happen to be struggling: 1: When you get the “Charge/Focus” card from Shuffle Time, you can’t go back to the lobby of Tartarus because it will reset and you’ll have to get another one. 2: For the King and I attack, don’t forget to switch to your ice persona. I was wondering why I wasn’t doing the same damage and this is why. 3: Right before the first megidolaon, don’t use Debilitate or a Debilitating Sutra as this lowers her attack as well as defense so Elizabeth wont do enough damage to herself to make the plan work, just stick with the Atrophying Sutra. 4: It’s still important to keep track of how much damage you’ve done to Elizabeth with a calculator. In one of my attempts, I used Black Viper and it did enough damage to accidentally send her into phase 3. Good luck, you’ll need it!

[@Cheids]

My repel strike deals so little damage, anyone knows why?

[@bainz]

Maybe difficulty? Or maybe Liz attack was lowered

[@bainz]

You need both Endure and Enduring Soul, and not use up one of them prior. It’s on the build

[@cwp24]

When I finally get to doing this fight after I max all my social links in my max links run I’ll beat Elizabeth my way. While also using this guide as a reference. My plan is to use Orpheus telos as a dual element build using diamond dust and Panta Rhei, with magic ability, Ice Amp, Wind Amp and spell master and any other skills through skill cards if necessary. Make a similar Saka mitama build to yours and make Orpheus my entrance buffer. No theragys except for Armageddon at the end as I’m not going for the fastest kill.

Keep in mind that Magic Ability is on MC's weapon, so it doesn't need to be on any build

Definitely not required, you just have to make up for it by maxing a few other social links and it's a bit more roundabout to fuse Odin and Satan. You also might have to use some skill cards to get certain buffs that are otherwise innate.
