When scaling the massive Tartarus Labyrinth inPersona 3 Reload, players will encounter several large and small boss encounters that test their limits. These fights work as gatekeepers, ensuring that the party is prepared to face the increasing danger of the floors that follow. Many of these encounters provide some ofPersona 3 Reload’s toughest challenges, especially early in the game, when players are still learning the ropes.
TheHeretic Magus and Grievous Tablefight is a perfect example of this encounter type. If done early, this battle will be one of the last major tests of the party as a trio, and as such, is meant to push it as far as possible. As the first ofP3R’s back-to-back boss fight encounters, players must be adequately equipped before jumping in. This guide will help players do just that.
While it is not necessary, if players struggle to complete this fight, it is possible to wait until Akihiko’s return to the party on May 23rd. However, if players follow the strategy outlined in this guide, it is still possible to complete as one of the last fights as a three-member party. Waiting may be a more logical option for players utilizingPersona 3 Reload’shighest difficulty options.
