So minium requirement : Hifumi Togo - lv 9 (instant escape ability) or - Craft plenty of Vanish ball November - 13th, 14th, 15th December - 8th, 9th. (Reminder for me).

[@77ale]

Hanaihau Hargous you don’t need rank 9 on her but it’s definitely better so if you’re low on time and there’s no way you can get her ranked up In time id say don’t worry about it

[@hargous]

Could you tell me what do I need instead of her lvl 9 ? I want to correct and avoid a misslead dire the people who come and might read my comment.

[@hargous]

But I did ranked her up in time to level 10. Unless there’s something I misunderstand.

[@zakman4584]

@@77ale do you think it'll be easy for me since i only have her lvl 4 and I'm behind in levels. I'm wondering if the reaper can one shot me right away

[@77ale]

Zakman you *might* still be able to do it just put on your best gear. And the reaper’s first turn he charges up, so make sure to escape before. Also I heard if you let him ambush you he only does one attack per turn instead of two. If it’s November for you make sure to get her to level nine if you plan to do it in December too just to make your life easier

[@luchovargas9357]

Did you beat him?

[@gt3racer2187]

If you max her out she will give you a parting item at the end of the game that lets you use Touryuou in your new game plus. You do NOT need to romance her for this, just Rank 10. However, you do not get the effects of the item until you restart the social link with her, which cannot be done until the end of June. You will need to max her out again if you want the rest of her moves though.

[@loveyuiz]

No longer possible in Royal, the reaper will never spawn with despair, i think the devs know about this exploit and patch this up

I know this is 2 years late. but... if he ambushes you then he only gets one attack a turn. and he only does concentrate for his first turn. and if you have the one ability for hifumi you can escape every time.

Um seems pretty shit that you can kill the reaper at all to me, let alone cheat and grind it! WTF I mean, it seems like it does not qualify as an extra boss OR a game mechanic, once you can do this.

[@MegamiTensei2]

its because the reaper isnt an extra boss at all, its just another encounter the velvet sibilings count as an extra boss

[@luansomething380]

man, what a cool way to kill it! And I think without the confidant at level 9 you can just restart the game if it kills you, so it's fine.

[@Despondencymusic]

I tried leveling up Hifumi's confidant to lvl 9, but couldn't do it in time. So I just saved at a rest spot....went in and tried my best with each opportunity. I was actually able to escape more times than not. I killed him 4 times with this method in an hour.

If you’re doing ng+ tho you can get all your personas back and farm him without fly season you just gotta be able to fight. Will prob be a joker solo since other teammates too weak early on

[@umu8912]

So since you can’t despair the reaper anymore I’ll share my easy strategy. Your gonna need to have heat riser unlocked on Haru and put the ring of greed on Makoto. You also need a debillitate persona. Last thing you need is an Alice with an almighty build. First let the reaper ambush you, second cast debilitate, third use presidents insight on joker (ring of greed), then use heat riser on joker, fourth and final step is to use megidolaon from Alice and then you repeat till he dies. I’m on hard mode and my Alice deals 1.3k damage from each megidolaon when the reaper is defense downed and joker is buffed fully. Hope this is helpful and happy farming!

[@zeroL21]

Best method ever today I am playing it again I’m at 11/13 I was level 45 and and doing this method 3 hours later I’m on level 90 I thought this game when it came out and I’ve been in it like so many times already and I just love replaying it but I never knew I could do this you are awesome!!!

[@77ale]

Zero L I’m definitely doing this especially since in my first play through I had to grind shadows before the final boss I was so underleveled took forever lmao

[@RayAkuma]

Or to skip Hifumi(will take longer) Save in a save spot, go into mementos and wait. Reload if he doesnt have despair. After defeat, go back to save and repeat.

[@alrightythen1171]

I know this video was posted 2 years ago but your comment about him ambushing you meaning you get one-shotted isnt strictly true. The Reaper will normally use his first turn to use concentrate and getting ambushed means he only has one action per turn. I also found it means you can have Hifumi at Rank 5 and you can use her ability to escape while ambushed and normally gets you out immediately.

[@nitroschannel1597]

I defeated the Reaper via this method yesterday because I wanted quick exp and because I was below level 60. When I defeated him I immediatelly jumped to level 60. He almost killed me in the first encounter because I was lvl 52 and I could not easilly escape, I did escape when only 2 characters were alive, then I pressed Square button so that I could heal everyone and immediatelly on the second encounter he got the Despair thing. Talk about luck ^^"

[@raymondrivers4482]

Thank for the tip. I haven’t encounter with the Reaper while staying in the train subway in phantom dimension for a long time. I think it’s probably glitch. Oh well, I’m so lucky. I spent much time to find more treasure.

[@ceruleansky6670]

Although you can't do this in royal the reaper is still easy in royal, grinded from level 58 to 99 using the reaper! (Plus if you decide to do it all in one day, best day to do it is probably 12/24 because you can just go to the entrance of Mementos and get full heal and SP recovery for free)

Or if you have a persona that has evil touch and ghastly whale will work. I know it uses a good amount of sp but hopefully if you do this you can make coffee which will give you sp.

So is it possible to farm exp from the reaper most 5 times (11/13-15 & 12/08-09 I believe) if you have Togo at least level 9 or MAXed? Do you get the same amount of exp points each time?

From personal experience Star Rank 9 is not required. IT IS VERY MUCH ADVISED THOUGH. Seriously, don't be me. Get that Star confidant up to rank 9 before you try this if you're not a glutton for punishment and despair.

[@Flareboxx]

Ok so I'm on 11/13. I haven't beaten Sae's palace yet and It's Flu season for the first time. I just got the skill from Hifumi so I'm ready to go. However I read online that farming the reaper makes the rest of the game not fun anymore. Is that true? Do you just destroy everything in your path because you're so over leveled? I'm afraid it'll ruin the game for me.

[@LuciidDreamz]

Flareboxx Well yeah thats how it is in every game. I would really only use it in Ng+ so that you can get the high level personas for the trophy. I would also use it to get to the appropriate level for the last boss, because I was lvl 79 playing on normal and was still having a bit of trouble. Whether or not it makes the game not fun is entirely up to personal opinion. If you really want a challenge then simply dont do it, but if your itching to get money, or get lvl'd quickly then by all means go ahead.

[@Flareboxx]

I created a new save file and beat him once and jumped from level 51 to 57. Do you think the game will be a cake walk if I just keep this one reaper kill? It's my first playthrough. I always grind at the end of palaces, so it'd be nice not to have to do that anymore, but I don't want it to be completely ruined.

[@LuciidDreamz]

Flareboxx What difficulty are you on

[@Flareboxx]

Normal

[@LuciidDreamz]

Flareboxx Just use him as an alternative. If you're tryna level up fast then do it. If you want it to take longer than dont do it. Dont over level and you'll be fine
