Persona 3 Reload - Lovers Boss Fight (PS5)

[@Rubhen925]

This battle sucked. Constantly getting charmed lol. I am glad I picked some Dis-Charms along the way in tartarus...

[@zanok7796]

In this remake I never thought that some characters have some particular voices (ex. the lovers shadow has a suave voice)

[@yokuboutozetsubou]

it was a cool run

[@dcyoung8887]

I love that Yukari’s theurgy gauge fills up to max instantly when you start the boss fight.

[@greengreen5785]

Oh yeah, cuz emotions or whatever?

[@unclebuns5286]

She’s just mad she clapped makoto’s cheek when it should’ve been the other way around

[@antony2206]

​@@unclebuns5286That's wild.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

This fight was absolutely f**king grueling. Ran out of Dis-Charms halfway through the fight, but I had Power (the persona) at a high level to block gunshots, slashes, and blessings, so I was able to survive the attrition war. Good lord I never wanna do that fight again, lol.

[@inplane9970]

Unless both MC and Yukari constantly get charmed, you should always be able to Patra the next acting member and just Dis-Charm them. I think I only used 4 Dis-Charms and Patra'd the rest within a turn. It's always helpful to see which member is acting next, so you can plan for their act. Most of the time, people just cure ailments in a random order and they keep getting debuff'd by enemies.

[@phntom7312]

I was lv 29 doing it, it was annoying but i was never in any real danger. not Sure if i was overleveled.

[@Penguin-pebble]

I hated this fight everyone but akhiko kept getting charmed but i eventually won

[@murasakino101]

​@@inplane9970I must have the worst luck then because those were the 2 people getting charmed for me lol; especially yukari. I didn't have a persona that could cure charm at the time so that made it worse since I had to mainly depend on her so my dis-charms wouldn't run out right away. Only died once thanks to the heartbreaker move, but this was not a fun boss for me lol.

[@Dieg0_616]

It's mad annoying, but I actually did the fight with lvl. 25 or something, don't remember exactly. I took one game over but it was fine

[@inplane9970]

Staying true to the original Persona 3 experience with Mitsuru using Marin Karin.

[@RageGS]

Bruh lol it has to be for th meme

[@jaybuck12321]

This boss was such a pain. Beat it first try in hard but took a lot of items and time

[@skyhavender]

This boss is a nightmare on merciless...

[@heart4784]

ts bout to make me shoot myself in the head

[@Danganronpa_Forgotten]

Facts I got Crit 4 in a row

[@wannabestrega]

Even on hard it took way too long

[@skyhavender]

@@wannabestrega and lets not forget that yukari is mandatory soo if you dont have anyway to remove charm effectively she will heal the boss over and over. If you unlucky. 😬

[@Danganronpa_Forgotten]

@@skyhavender Only Yukari had Patra and I had De charms

[@dragonvessel6510]

Throw Marin Karin a shadow based on the lovers arcana? rly? 😅

[@bwisetkaletche7120]

Who does use Marin Karin? 😂 I've been a Persona Fan since p2 But I never used marin karin once.

[@samueltavarsy6626]

Bruh really Marin Karin on boss lover Arcana

[@zaqareemalcolm]

prolly for the meme lmao

[@spooky2216]

imagine not being able to tell when something is done for the meme LOL

[@RageGS]

​@daveh71bro you have no room to talk

[@angelpearson696]

Is it just me or is anyone ❤ Akihiko's new VA?

[@pre-violetmelain2984]

Sounds too old

[@shihiroikiba6412]

​@@pre-violetmelain2984 The old VA literally sounds like a chainsmoker

[@ajmosutra7667]

He sounds hot af

[@murasakino101]

​@@ajmosutra7667I didn't like the voice at first but I have to agree now lol. It definitely grew on me and I love akihiko so that helps lmao

[@cc-ms5ud]

3:14 why he sound like that

[@randomnobody2145]

i didnt think this boss was that hard. then again when i fought it for the first time was last year in portable and was playing on normal while this time i am playing on merciless. so what did we learn today? to always bring charms that decreases the chance of being inflicted with a status effects and passives that null said status effects

[@Nyxo1000]

This boss take your debuffs atacks on the ass even if you debuff his accuracy its charms you every time

[@artemkoropotkin3047]

First time playing Persona 3 here. I had no idea how much charm spam this boss was going to do. Managed to beat it first try on hard without too many issues but went through about 10 items to remove charm. I'm going through the first playthrough mostly blind and it's been great so far except for this boss. When I saw his 1.5k heal I almost shit my pants thinking ok is this going to be his regular move going forward 😅

[@murasakino101]

​@@Nyxo1000plus when your teammates are charmed, they can give the boss buffs. Akihiko gave the boss an accuracy/evasion buff 3 times in a row and I almost rage quit lol. Ended up dying the first try anyway and got it the second time luckily

[@Loispealz34]

Me, who went into Aohige every saturday, to make sure my stocks of every medicine type (including cat food) were topped up, and had both yukari and the protag with patra, and a souped up Junpei "Crit fiend" iori: easy fight, gg no re.

[@Tristanl0l]

I just played this fight, and i've been ignoring junpei since akihiko and mitsuru were available. Is he always pissed at the end of this scene or is it a player choice that made it like this? Or is he forced to sit out of this? I didn't even attempt to bring him with me.

[@pogiteddy]

i’ve been bringing him every time, so i think it’s regardless he will get pissed so don’t worry!

[@yukiyuhi1993]

He LITERALLY got the killing blow when I went against this boss and then him acting all pissy really annoyed me, lol.

[@CookieTwoStep]

⁠@@yukiyuhi1993Junpei did 1000+ with his theurgy which finished off the fight on my play through so I was confused too

[@wholelottafloppa]

this fight was such a pain in the asss, i spend like 20 patras and gems to quit the manipulation, almost died before kill the mf but akihiko double tap fortunetly

[@MartinHermans-dw3is]

I coudnt get anywhere on this fight. I feel like i didn't have enough revive and charm items. I ended up cheesing it. If you put this on auto-fight the lover will keep giving the MC health until the boss is eventually beaten. took about 15 minutes, but you can go do something else while it plays out

[@Pastelbluesox]

What difficulty are you on lol

[@MartinHermans-dw3is]

Normal

[@crimsonslayer6641]

I brought dis charms so that I would never deal with yukari being charmed and using heals on the boss💀

[@MiguelRPD]

I beat it on my 2nd try. Had to rewind. Pick up +resist charm accessories from the police station. And I brought a high physical stat persona with counter, +crit chance and +slash damage. Excellent fight honestly lol. Despite how annoying it was. I'm glad it challenged me.

[@pwner369]

If you use junpei, does the dialogue change for this part?

[@Optimatum]

Nope. I used Junpei instead of Akihiko and he still gets mad. Which is some great gameplay-story segregation because my whole party was just healing off the charm, so only the slowest member, Junpei, got to do any damage at all

[@pwner369]

@@Optimatum I see, thanks for clearing that up. I knew his insecurity was always part of the story but I thought that if he actually participated in this fight, something would change

[@FreshTillDeath56]

No, Junpei was a trooper in my run. I ran out of dis-charms and Junpei and I were able to kinda brute force the charmed heals the boss was doing. Power also helped too to block damage for the MC.

[@unknowed5048]

Thank god I had a resist charm on MC. I died to this boss once because it managed to charm every single one of the party and they straight up killed each other.

[@Nyxo1000]

This boss was so hard i barely managed to beat it in hard... And was lucky honestly

[@user-wu8qc9bb3e]

So are the Moon bosses more difficult now? Or are the Tartarus still more tough? The og/portable suffer from this Lmao.

[@nikodem123asdf]

Real question is, does it still take like a week of grinding to beat the Sleeping Table? Probably not, I mean that fight was mostly impossibru because of how limited the AI was and it was basically over when Yukari died and Akihiko went from debuffs to pitiful healing.

[@pre-violetmelain2984]

Moon bosses are way harder than tartarus bosses now. I'm at like floor 140 so i can't tell if every boss is easier (btw, there are floors with 2 gatekeepers in a row and i think they're still easier than moon bosses)

[@pre-violetmelain2984]

​@@nikodem123asdfi'll fight him in like 8 hours, answer this comment if u want to know

[@nikodem123asdf]

@@pre-violetmelain2984 That would be nice thank you. That boss was so annoying in FES, I replayed that version recently and my god it's such a mess, not just that boss I mean the game in general is like nobody actually playtested it and just went with "well it seems like a good idea, I don't see why this would be bad, if it works on paper it will work in gameplay for sure, we've made games before right"

[@pre-violetmelain2984]

@@nikodem123asdf complete. It's easy as long as u have immunity to light and some persona with dekunda if u want ur team alive. Now he spams Hamaon and Mahama so it's pure luck/immunity. He has a lot of life but someone as mitsuru with rakunda should be easier (i did it with koromaru. Anyways he died at the start of the battle lol) Forgot to mention that sometimes he uses foul breath but i don't understand why since he has no ailment abilities

[@mitchhychaa]

thank god for theurgys

[@meijinraditya2887]

Well that was tedious with all the charms, can't wait for the next boss though.

[@Neuvillotter-j3x]

Am i the only one who loved this fight to death and thought it was really fun? I mean to beat it i just built up everyones theurgys and hit like 4000 with oracle and mitsuru lowering def on the enemy

[@Kanzuki]

God damn this boss was irritating. I never died once, but my team was constantly getting charmed. Luckily I had enough items to deal with it

[@lagc5103]

i thought spending all my money on discharms before this fight was overkill but it isnt one bit

[@MiguelRPD]

I wish poison would work on this boss 😅

[@demonbloodpal]

i need the ost of this battle

They are more annoying lol. Know when to recast charms and fears

[@falayyou]

Is it me or is this boss annoying and tanky

[@AdamasOldblade]

This boss got me to quit the game and delete it… Tried really hard to like Persona 3, but just couldn’t by this point. I honestly had stopped caring about the plot here. This sure isn’t the masterpiece that Persona 5 was.

[@ajmosutra7667]

Bullshit boss

[@LubricatedMelon]

Turned my difficulty to peaceful to beat this boss
