00:00:04
what
00:00:05
is up everybody welcome to what is
00:00:08
probably my most requested video ever
00:00:12
can you beat persona 4 using only
00:00:14
izanagi
00:00:16
just to refresh your memory in persona 4
00:00:19
izanagi is your starting persona
00:00:21
because of this he's purposefully
00:00:23
designed to be as weak as possible and
00:00:25
only useful for the very beginning of
00:00:27
the game because the developers want you to fuse
00:00:29
him off for a better persona once you
00:00:31
reach higher level
00:00:32
but is it possible to beat the game
00:00:35
using only
00:00:36
your default persona in persona 4. i
00:00:38
already did a similar challenge with
00:00:40
orpheus in persona 3 portable which is
00:00:42
why this video was so requested and
00:00:44
to tell you the truth i actually did
00:00:46
want to do it earlier
00:00:47
but couldn't because the only version
00:00:49
that this challenge can realistically be
00:00:51
completed in
00:00:52
is golden which is exclusive to the ps
00:00:54
vita
00:00:55
and there's no way to emulate it so the
00:00:57
only way to record footage of it is with
00:00:59
a pstv
00:01:01
however the pstv has hd copy protection
00:01:04
so if you try hooking it up to a capture
00:01:06
card
00:01:07
it just gives you a black screen well it
00:01:10
turns out there actually
00:01:11
is a workaround if you get an hdmi
00:01:13
splitter it will let you bypass the hd
00:01:15
copy protection
00:01:16
so if you want to record footage of
00:01:18
persona 4 golden with your capture card
00:01:20
get an hdmi splitter and tell that hd
00:01:23
copy protection to go [ __ ] itself
00:01:26
at least that's what i would be telling
00:01:28
you to do
00:01:29
but just a couple of weeks after i
00:01:31
recorded all the footage of this video
00:01:34
persona 4 golden out of nowhere was
00:01:36
released for pc
00:01:38
so yeah you could do what i just said or
00:01:41
you can just get the pc version and
00:01:43
record with obs
00:01:45
unfortunately when i started working on
00:01:47
this video i never in a million years
00:01:49
would have thought that persona 4 golden
00:01:51
would be coming to pc so
00:01:52
all the footage you're about to see will
00:01:54
be from the vita version
00:01:55
i'm gonna be honest with you guys
00:01:57
another one of the reasons this video
00:01:58
took so long is because i was struggling
00:02:01
to find the motivation to finish it
00:02:03
because now i'm working with an obsolete
00:02:04
version but then again i guess that
00:02:06
wouldn't be the first time that would
00:02:07
happen
00:02:08
but now that that's out of the way let's
00:02:10
lay down our list of rules
00:02:12
obviously this is an izanagi only
00:02:14
challenge so i can only have izanagi
00:02:16
equipped for the entirety of the game i
00:02:18
cannot switch personas at any time for
00:02:21
any reason other than that it's the same
00:02:23
as the last one no cheat codes no new
00:02:25
game plus and i have to be playing on
00:02:27
the highest difficulty
00:02:28
now that that's out of the way let's get
00:02:34
started
00:02:41
after watching the opening i get to the
00:02:43
title screen
00:02:44
choose new game choose very hard as the
00:02:46
difficulty and then get to the velvet
00:02:48
room where i am introduced to igor along
00:02:50
with his assistant
00:02:51
margaret i wake up on the train get off
00:02:54
to meet dojima and nanako
00:02:56
and then get another dream sequence with
00:02:58
our first scripted battle
00:03:00
after that we go to school and meet
00:03:02
three of our main cast members
00:03:04
chie yukiko and yosuke where they tell
00:03:06
us about the midnight channel
00:03:08
which is a secret channel where if you
00:03:10
turn on your tv on a rainy night
00:03:12
you'll see your soulmate so being the
00:03:15
naive teenager that we are we decide to
00:03:17
check it out and we almost get sucked
00:03:19
into the tv
00:03:25
are you okay so the next day we go to
00:03:28
june s to try it with some bigger tvs
00:03:30
and the same thing happens we wind up in
00:03:32
the tv world where we meet
00:03:38
[Music]
00:03:45
so anyway uh who's actually named teddy
00:03:48
shows us the way out what's going on
00:03:54
the next morning we wake up and find out
00:03:56
that yosuke's girlfriend has been found
00:03:59
dead so we decide to go back to the tv
00:04:01
world to investigate and get our first
00:04:03
real battle now i know with my editing
00:04:06
it doesn't seem like it's very long
00:04:08
but one of my biggest pet peeves with
00:04:10
this game is how long the intro is
00:04:12
i mean i've been playing for almost two
00:04:14
hours and not until now do i finally get
00:04:16
a non-scripted fight
00:04:18
but yeah these enemies are weak to
00:04:20
electricity which izanagi specializes in
00:04:23
so it's no problem we then get to the next
00:04:28
area where we see yosuke shadow and
00:04:30
yosuke denies it's him by saying you're
00:04:33
not me
00:04:35
that's right say it again you're not me
00:04:40
you're nothing like me yeah get used to
00:04:43
the character saying that
00:04:45
but anyway he evolves into a boss and
00:04:47
now
00:04:48
we gotta beat it so this boss is
00:04:50
actually pretty easy as long as you know
00:04:52
what you're doing
00:04:53
just spam zeo guard when he does and
00:04:55
then heal when your health gets low
00:04:57
unfortunately i underestimate how much
00:04:59
damage he can do the first time and he
00:05:01
kills me so i gotta watch the cut scenes
00:05:03
again and do the tutorial battle again
00:05:05
but after this i'm able to beat him with
00:05:06
ease and then izanagi levels up
00:05:09
after yosuke accepts the shadow he gets
00:05:11
his persona and then we go back
00:05:13
then the next day we start the magician
00:05:15
social link with yosuke
00:05:17
after that we tune into the midnight
00:05:18
channel to see our friend yukiko on
00:05:20
screen and it turns out she's missing so
00:05:23
back to the tv world to find her we get
00:05:25
to her dungeon and now we can actually
00:05:27
start upgrading izanagi now i should
00:05:30
also take this time to point out that
00:05:32
izanagi is by default a much better
00:05:35
persona than orpheus
00:05:36
orpheus had two weaknesses and no
00:05:38
resistance however izanagi only has
00:05:40
one weakness and is resistant to
00:05:42
electricity while also being completely
00:05:45
immune to darkness
00:05:46
so that's less weaknesses to worry about
00:05:48
but other than that this challenge is
00:05:50
pretty much gonna be the same way
00:05:52
we'll have to upgrade izanagi's stats
00:05:54
while also updating his skill set by
00:05:55
using skill cards
00:05:57
now even though we'll be doing a lot of
00:05:59
the same stuff that we were doing in the
00:06:01
orpheus only run
00:06:02
the way we go about doing most of them
00:06:04
is completely different
00:06:06
pretty much everything from skill cards
00:06:08
to stat increases in persona 4 is done
00:06:10
in shuffle time
00:06:11
if you remember this from persona 3 you
00:06:13
should know that it happens at the end
00:06:15
of some battles where cards are shuffled
00:06:17
and then you get to choose one
00:06:18
these cards may contain a persona or an
00:06:20
increase in money or exp
00:06:22
or heal you however in golden there are
00:06:25
many more cards available
00:06:27
you can get cards that increase your
00:06:28
persona stats give you skill cards and
00:06:30
in rare cases level up your persona or
00:06:33
upgrade a skill
00:06:34
but not only that in golden there are
00:06:36
also some cards that have negative
00:06:38
effects but give you more draws
00:06:40
if you literally play your cards right
00:06:42
and get all the cards
00:06:43
you get what's called a sweet bonus
00:06:45
which guarantees you'll be getting
00:06:47
shuffle time at the end of the next
00:06:48
battle
00:06:49
and it gives you two additional draws
00:06:52
this makes it really easy to get all the
00:06:54
cards and you can just keep getting
00:06:55
sweet bonus after sweet bonus and
00:06:57
getting all the bonuses that are
00:06:58
included
00:06:59
so yeah i think it goes without saying
00:07:02
but we're gonna be spending a lot of
00:07:04
time in shuffle time
00:07:05
but anyway we go through the first floor
00:07:07
of the dungeon and on the second one we
00:07:09
see chie
00:07:10
and it's pretty much the same deal with
00:07:12
yosuke she denies the shadow so now we
00:07:14
gotta fight it
00:07:17
so this boss isn't particularly hard
00:07:20
either but with
00:07:21
only two party members it's kinda slow
00:07:25
so the biggest issue with this boss is
00:07:28
that it has mozilla which is yosuke's
00:07:30
weakness
00:07:31
sometimes the game will say she'll look
00:07:32
scornfully at yosuke which means that
00:07:34
she's gonna use mozillo the next turn
00:07:36
so whenever this happens i have to
00:07:38
defend with yosuke but sometimes she
00:07:40
just goes ahead and uses mozilla without
00:07:42
warning
00:07:43
she also has green wall which makes her
00:07:45
resistant to wind
00:07:46
which covers her weakness and that makes
00:07:48
things even slower
00:07:50
basically the strategy for this fight is
00:07:52
to knock her down with garu when green
00:07:54
wall isn't active and then just defend
00:07:56
and hit her with whatever we can while
00:07:58
it is active
00:07:59
we also don't have many options for
00:08:01
healing so a lot of yosuke's turns that
00:08:03
he's not defending are spent using his
00:08:05
dia
00:08:06
but despite all this this boss doesn't
00:08:08
actually give us too much trouble we're
00:08:10
able to beat it on our first try
00:08:13
[Music]
00:08:23
after that chie awakens and with her we
00:08:26
form the investigation team which starts
00:08:28
the full social link
00:08:29
after that we head out and then start
00:08:31
the chariot social link with chie
00:08:33
now this is the point in the game where
00:08:35
the game finally gives us free time and
00:08:37
lets us do whatever we want
00:08:39
that is provided there's anything to do
00:08:41
and here there's really not much to do
00:08:43
other than go back into the tv to save
00:08:45
yukiko
00:08:46
now just like persona 3 you can pretty
00:08:49
much complete any dungeon in one run
00:08:51
unless the game requires otherwise so
00:08:53
that's what i'm going to try to be doing
00:08:54
in pretty much every dungeon
00:08:56
though with my limited sp at this point
00:08:59
in the game
00:09:00
i'm not so confident that i'll be able
00:09:02
to do it
00:09:03
once i'm back in the dungeon that things
00:09:04
go okay and i actually get
00:09:06
a tarun to skill card which is great
00:09:09
until a shadow catches me off guard and
00:09:11
kills me in one hit
00:09:12
making me lose all my progress
00:09:16
so anyway i go through the dungeon again
00:09:19
and i get the patra
00:09:20
mewtwody and sukukaja skill cards but
00:09:23
then
00:09:24
i decide to head back after the fifth
00:09:25
floor because by this time i'm clean out
00:09:28
of sp and healing items and there's really
00:09:30
nothing i can use at this point
00:09:32
i do go back the next day and it's more
00:09:34
the same i gotta fight a mini
00:09:36
boss which isn't hard but you know
00:09:38
taruno would have been real helpful
00:09:40
during this fight
00:09:41
but most of this part is just me running
00:09:43
around from enemies that are too strong
00:09:45
because i don't have anything that
00:09:46
covers their weakness which i
00:09:48
kind of need so that i can get that
00:09:49
guaranteed shuffle time
00:09:51
but eventually i do get to the end where
00:09:53
yukiko is but again
00:09:55
i'm drained of spn items so i decide not
00:09:57
to do it but i do go back to the first
00:09:59
floor to do some grinding during which
00:10:01
time i get the aagi
00:10:02
sukunda and dia skill cards other than
00:10:06
that nothing really happens other than me
00:10:09
just getting a whole bunch of stat
00:10:10
bonuses
00:10:11
and also a whole bunch of skill cards
00:10:13
that i don't want
00:10:14
however in addition to the skill and
00:10:16
point cards
00:10:17
there are also cards that restore your
00:10:19
hp and sp
00:10:20
so by doing this i'm actually able to
00:10:23
get back up to a pretty decent amount of
00:10:25
sp so now that i have my sp back
00:10:29
i actually do decide to go and challenge
00:10:31
shadow yukiko
00:10:32
now the thing about bosses in this game
00:10:35
as you may have already noticed from the
00:10:37
fight against shadow chie
00:10:38
is that they're not really that hard
00:10:41
they're just
00:10:42
spongy like they take forever to kill
00:10:44
and in most cases they don't use their
00:10:46
strongest moves until they're low on hp
00:10:49
now yukiko's shadow specializes in fire
00:10:52
attacks and is weak to chiefs bufo
00:10:55
but she also has white wall which makes
00:10:57
her resistant to ice so really
00:11:00
all you can do when this is up is just
00:11:02
use physical moves
00:11:03
her attacks aren't strong and chie also
00:11:05
has dodge fire thanks to her accessory
00:11:08
but midway through the fight she'll start
00:11:10
using terror voice which makes a target
00:11:12
fearful
00:11:13
and usually follows this up with
00:11:15
shivering rondo which can
00:11:16
easily kill you in one hit she also
00:11:19
summons a minion called charming prince
00:11:21
which also casts
00:11:22
fear and can heal her which is pretty
00:11:24
annoying but her main attack is burnt to
00:11:27
ashes a
00:11:28
fire attack that hits everyone normally
00:11:30
she gives a warning before using it so
00:11:32
you can guard but close to the end she
00:11:34
doesn't and kills everyone in my party except
00:11:36
for you
00:11:38
after that i heal and she uses terror
00:11:40
voice and then shivering rondo
00:11:42
but at this point izanagi's endurance is
00:11:44
so high that you just takes it like an
00:11:46
absolute boss
00:11:47
and from there i'm able to revive chie
00:11:50
and yosuke and then finish her off not
00:11:52
long after
00:11:56
[Music]
00:12:02
once the fight is over yukiko accepts
00:12:04
her shadow awakens to her persona
00:12:07
and that concludes the first dungeon
00:12:09
after this
00:12:10
it's pretty much our free time to do
00:12:11
whatever we want one thing to keep in
00:12:13
mind about persona 4 is that it's not
00:12:15
as lenient with free time as persona 3
00:12:18
social links are harder to rank up and
00:12:20
may or may not be available depending on
00:12:22
the weather
00:12:23
on rainy days most people won't be
00:12:24
available so on those days you're best
00:12:26
off just working on your stats or
00:12:28
grinding
00:12:29
oh and also one thing that's cool about
00:12:31
golden is that if you click on this
00:12:32
little bubble
00:12:33
you can see what other people did which
00:12:35
is pretty cool though i don't actually
00:12:37
recommend
00:12:38
doing what it says most of the time at
00:12:40
this point
00:12:41
i'm mostly just focusing on leveling up
00:12:44
my social stats almost
00:12:45
all of which is done in your room the
00:12:47
only new social links i start during
00:12:49
this period are the aeon with marie
00:12:51
the justice with nautica and the hermit
00:12:53
with the fox
00:12:54
the thing is there's really not much i
00:12:56
can do at this point
00:12:58
unlike iwatodi where there was lots of
00:13:00
stuff to do in the city in inaba there's
00:13:02
really not much to do other than just
00:13:05
talk to npcs
00:13:06
[Music]
00:13:11
the boy's name is after yukiko recovers
00:13:15
we find out that exams are coming up so
00:13:17
i decided to spend most of my time
00:13:19
studying before long we see kanji on the
00:13:21
midnight channel and after staking him
00:13:23
out
00:13:24
talking to a very feminine looking boy
00:13:26
and starting yukiko's social inc
00:13:28
we see him again and confirm that he is
00:13:31
indeed the next victim so it's back to
00:13:33
the tv world to save him
00:13:34
now once i get to kanji's dungeon i find
00:13:37
out that i am
00:13:38
extremely under leveled thankfully
00:13:40
though the enemies aren't that strong
00:13:42
and chie's galactic punt
00:13:43
definitely helps along with twin dragons
00:13:46
but
00:13:47
in most cases it's not enough to kill
00:13:49
them all in one turn
00:13:50
so i grind till level 14. during which
00:13:53
time i get really lucky and get the
00:13:55
absolutely essential skill card for apt
00:13:58
pupil
00:13:59
this makes normally difficult encounters
00:14:01
much easier with critical hit knockdowns
00:14:03
and then after that i get the sonic
00:14:05
punch skill card so i can finally get
00:14:07
rid of cleve
00:14:08
and i also take every stat increase card
00:14:10
i find
00:14:11
now the mid boss is one of many strong
00:14:14
physical tanky bosses he uses power
00:14:16
charge
00:14:17
rebellion and tarukaja but he also has
00:14:19
really low agility
00:14:21
after i use secunda on him he can't
00:14:23
touch me and i beat him without a whole
00:14:25
lot of trouble
00:14:28
after this i continue through the
00:14:30
dungeon some more until i get low on mp
00:14:32
after which i go to yukiko's castle to
00:14:34
grind some more
00:14:35
now you may be wondering why i'm
00:14:37
grinding in such a low level area and
00:14:39
this is because despite me being super over
00:14:42
leveled in this area
00:14:43
the cards that i get from beating the
00:14:45
enemies are the same and the hp and np
00:14:47
restoring cards are based on a
00:14:49
percentage not a set value
00:14:51
so by beating enemies in a low level
00:14:53
area i can basically farm for unlimited
00:14:55
mp and stat bonuses with minimal effort
00:14:58
during this time i get the tyrone to
00:14:59
skill card and once i head back
00:15:01
i get the dodge win skill card and then
00:15:03
the single shot skill card which is even
00:15:05
better than sonic punch
00:15:07
before long i do make it to the end of
00:15:09
kanji's dungeon but
00:15:10
at this point i'm basically burnt out
00:15:12
with this dungeon and i also want to
00:15:14
upgrade items before i challenge the
00:15:16
boss so i go home upgrade items and then come
00:15:19
back the next day
00:15:21
so the way the fight against shadow
00:15:23
kanji works is that he has two minions
00:15:25
the nice guy who is weak to fire and the
00:15:27
tough guy who is weak to ice
00:15:29
the tough guy uses just physical attacks
00:15:31
while the nice guy likes to use buffs
00:15:33
and heal so i recommend going for the nice guy
00:15:35
first now
00:15:37
the main body itself specializes in
00:15:39
electric attacks and ailment attacks
00:15:41
those two ailment attacks being roar of
00:15:43
wrath which enrages chie and yukiko and
00:15:45
forbidden murmur which poisons you and
00:15:48
yosuke he likes to spam these pretty much every
00:15:50
turn so unless you want to spend a crazy
00:15:52
amount of money on ailment healing items
00:15:54
i don't think healing these ailments is
00:15:56
worth it you're better off just living
00:15:58
with the poison and waiting for the rage
00:15:59
to wear off
00:16:00
like most bosses in this game it's not
00:16:03
that strong the minions
00:16:04
may give you some trouble but once
00:16:06
they're gone this fight is a breeze
00:16:09
now the boss's trump card is fanatical
00:16:11
spark which is a strong electric move
00:16:13
but it's resisted by izanagi and yosuke
00:16:16
can't do that much damage anyway so i
00:16:18
recommend just defending with him
00:16:20
my strategy for this fight is to beat
00:16:22
the minions first debuff the main body
00:16:24
heal with yukiko when necessary and just
00:16:26
keep repeating
00:16:28
he does take down a few of our party
00:16:30
members but not you thankfully because
00:16:32
of his insanely high endurance and
00:16:34
overall this fight is pretty easy this
00:16:36
boss goes down
00:16:37
after about 20 minutes
00:16:52
after that kanji awakens and the day is
00:16:55
saved and now we just have to wait for
00:16:57
him to recover and we're pretty much
00:16:58
free until then
00:16:59
during this period i do start the
00:17:01
empress social link with margaret and
00:17:03
the jester with adachi though
00:17:05
for now i'm mostly going to be focusing
00:17:07
on the party members since it actually
00:17:09
gives them abilities that they can use
00:17:11
in battle
00:17:12
eventually the fog does come in and
00:17:13
nobody appears on the tv meaning the
00:17:15
perpetrator has been thwarted once again
00:17:18
and kanji joins our party but that
00:17:21
doesn't mean we're done with the tv
00:17:22
world just yet
00:17:24
i go back a few days later to the tv
00:17:26
world to grind and beat the optional
00:17:27
bosses
00:17:28
yeah after you beat the main boss of a
00:17:30
dungeon you can go back a few days later
00:17:32
and an optional boss will be there
00:17:34
and if you beat it you get courage
00:17:36
points and an item
00:17:37
i remember these bosses being really
00:17:40
hard when i played this game as a kid
00:17:41
but i also had less experience with mega
00:17:44
10 back backman so
00:17:45
let's see how bad these are well the
00:17:48
boss at yukiko's palace certainly isn't
00:17:50
hard it's only strong move is rampage
00:17:53
and the boss of kanji's dungeon is a
00:17:55
little harder it has some elemental
00:17:57
attacks and some physical moves and it
00:17:59
keeps targeting yukiko with bufula
00:18:01
and it even kills her a few times but it
00:18:04
is also weak to electricity so i just
00:18:06
spam that while keeping its attack down
00:18:08
with tarunda and it goes down without
00:18:10
too many problems
00:18:12
a few days after that we get access to
00:18:14
the motor scooter
00:18:15
now this thing lets us drive around to
00:18:17
unlock new places and once we drive
00:18:19
around three times we get access to
00:18:21
okina city which has a place called
00:18:23
chagall cafe
00:18:24
now remember what i said in the
00:18:26
beginning about being able to get skill
00:18:27
cards from personas
00:18:29
well in chagall cafe you can spend 5 000
00:18:32
yen and walter white here will give you
00:18:34
his special coffee which will knock you
00:18:36
out and give you a skill card
00:18:38
you know that skill card icon that's
00:18:39
next to some skills on personas
00:18:41
that's the skill card that you're gonna
00:18:43
get from your persona if you do this
00:18:45
this is how i'm going to be getting
00:18:46
skill cards from personas
00:18:49
at least that's what i would be saying
00:18:52
but right at this moment i realized that in
00:18:54
order to get the skill
00:18:56
card you actually need to have that
00:18:58
persona equipped
00:18:59
and that would be breaking the rules i
00:19:02
mean i suppose i could make an exception for
00:19:04
this since it's not in battle which is
00:19:06
what matters
00:19:07
but at the same time i feel like so far
00:19:10
this challenge has been much easier than
00:19:12
i was expecting
00:19:13
and i i do want to keep things
00:19:15
interesting and
00:19:16
also the whole randomness factor to it
00:19:18
all kind of makes it more fun so
00:19:20
for now i think i'm going to ban the use
00:19:23
of chagall cafe
00:19:24
however this also makes doing most
00:19:27
non-party social links
00:19:28
kind of pointless i'm still going to do
00:19:30
them for story reasons and also marie so
00:19:32
i can get her dungeon
00:19:34
but i'm not going to be sweating over
00:19:36
getting the right answers to them every
00:19:37
time and i'm gonna prioritize party
00:19:40
members social links
00:19:41
since it gets them skills and abilities
00:19:43
that i can actually use
00:19:45
anyway after a failed attempt to pick up
00:19:47
girls and a camping trip later
00:19:48
we max out yosuke's social inc and he
00:19:51
awakens to his ultimate persona
00:19:53
after that we get back in the swing of
00:19:55
things and we suspect that the next
00:19:57
victim is going to be ryse kujikawa
00:19:59
a few days later our suspicions are
00:20:02
confirmed
00:20:03
so we gather info and go to her dungeon
00:20:05
which
00:20:06
is one of my favorites in this game when
00:20:08
we get here it's
00:20:10
basically the same deal as kanji's
00:20:11
dungeon where the enemies are
00:20:13
super over leveled though they're still
00:20:16
pretty easy and most are weight to electricity they
00:20:19
don't actually become a challenge until
00:20:20
about the 7th or 8th floor
00:20:22
now one thing that's cool about this
00:20:24
dungeon is that this is where i start
00:20:26
getting magician arcana cards
00:20:29
these are the cards that upgrade your
00:20:30
skills aki becomes muragi and tarunda
00:20:33
becomes
00:20:34
matarunda through doing this i also get
00:20:36
a few decent skill cards from the sword
00:20:38
cards like dodge fizz muhammad and
00:20:40
mamudo but most of it is just ailment
00:20:42
skills and support skills that i don't
00:20:44
need
00:20:45
eventually i make it to the end and then
00:20:47
i decide to grind
00:20:48
i take every stat boost i find in every
00:20:50
emperor and magician skill card during
00:20:52
this time the new skills i get are evade
00:20:54
wind
00:20:55
power slash maracunda and masukunda
00:20:58
but the best thing i get though without
00:21:00
doubt is the patient
00:21:02
caller which contains endure an absolute
00:21:05
godsend since i can't get endure from
00:21:07
shuffle time sword cards
00:21:09
after doing enough grinding i come back
00:21:11
the next day to challenge her
00:21:14
no don't say it you're
00:21:18
not me i'm finally myself
00:21:22
[Music]
00:21:28
as for this boss there's really not a
00:21:30
lot to say
00:21:31
it has all elemental attacks all the
00:21:33
brake skills and mind slice and spirit
00:21:35
drain
00:21:36
just like with shadow kanji it may look
00:21:38
threatening on paper but
00:21:39
it's really not it's just another damage
00:21:41
sponge this fight
00:21:43
pretty much goes normally until she uses
00:21:45
supreme analysis which prevents us from
00:21:47
hitting her
00:21:48
like at all yeah you don't actually
00:21:51
defeat this boss because risa accepts
00:21:53
her shadow before we can actually beat
00:21:55
it
00:21:56
but we're not done yet because teddy now
00:21:58
has a shadow
00:21:59
and teddy denies his shadow
00:22:03
and i said shut up
00:22:07
yeah kind of weird that the guy who told
00:22:10
everybody not to deny the shadow does
00:22:12
the same thing
00:22:13
but then again this is teddy we're
00:22:14
talking about
00:22:16
i shall give you the truth
00:22:22
everyone has uno did it it came free
00:22:24
with your [ __ ] xbox
00:22:26
now shadow teddy's fight is much more
00:22:29
difficult than shadow reesay
00:22:31
he only has ice magic attacks but he
00:22:33
also has some very strong physical
00:22:35
attacks and likes to use mara kunda
00:22:37
and de kunda but what really makes him
00:22:40
threatening is that he charges up his
00:22:41
attacks however this also makes him much
00:22:44
more predictable
00:22:45
he usually charges before using mabufula
00:22:47
or nihilhan so make sure you defend
00:22:50
he also has another attack that knocks
00:22:52
down party members but he
00:22:54
rarely uses it he also has foolish
00:22:56
whisper which silences the party but
00:22:58
we're going to be using mostly physical
00:23:00
attacks anyway
00:23:01
so i really wouldn't worry about that
00:23:04
the strategy is basically to heal with
00:23:06
yosuke while just spamming physical
00:23:08
attacks with everyone else
00:23:09
after about 20 minutes shadow teddy goes
00:23:15
[Music]
00:23:20
down
00:23:22
during this next free period i start
00:23:24
kanji's social link and max out she a
00:23:26
social inc and thankfully in p4
00:23:29
i can do female character social links
00:23:31
without actually romancing them but this
00:23:33
game doesn't punish you anyway
00:23:34
so if you want to romance them all knock
00:23:36
yourself out
00:23:38
but anyway the fog comes in nobody shows
00:23:40
up on the tv
00:23:41
and the day is saved once again or so we
00:23:45
think
00:23:46
the next morning we find out that there
00:23:48
is another victim
00:23:50
our very own king [ __ ] so now
00:23:53
we're at a standstill with the case at
00:23:55
least that's what i thought at first but
00:23:57
i guess
00:23:58
it must not be too important because
00:24:00
everyone seems to forget about him once
00:24:01
teddy shows his human form
00:24:03
after that that feminine boy from
00:24:05
earlier introduces himself as naoto
00:24:07
shiragane
00:24:08
rysei then joins as arnav meaning teddy
00:24:11
is now our new fighting party member and
00:24:13
then igor explains advanced fusion to us
00:24:16
even though we won't be using it
00:24:18
the next day naoto comes to us and
00:24:20
surprise they supposedly found the guy
00:24:22
behind it all
00:24:23
but we still can't do anything so i go
00:24:26
back into the tv where i fight the
00:24:28
optional boss in recess dungeon and on
00:24:30
the way there
00:24:31
augie lau becomes maragion and then
00:24:33
power slash becomes mighty swing which
00:24:35
becomes gigantic fist which then becomes
00:24:39
brave blade that's the third strongest
00:24:42
move
00:24:43
in the game and i have it on the third
00:24:45
dungeon
00:24:47
talk about game breaking mechanics
00:24:50
anyway just like all the other optional
00:24:52
bosses this boss isn't hard at all
00:24:54
brave blade doesn't really make the boss
00:24:56
any less spongier but it does do an
00:24:58
insane amount of damage compared to
00:25:00
everyone else
00:25:01
overall this fight is pretty easy it
00:25:03
just spams physical attacks with the
00:25:04
occasional rebellion on itself
00:25:06
i figure if it's going to do that
00:25:08
there's no reason not to have chia use
00:25:10
revolution
00:25:11
so i do that and then izanagi becomes an
00:25:13
absolute
00:25:14
critical hit machine and brave light is
00:25:16
so strong it actually does
00:25:17
more damage than an all-out attack i
00:25:20
mean i didn't even realize it was weak
00:25:22
to ice until halfway through the fight
00:25:24
although some cheese does happened at
00:25:26
the very end though
00:25:27
he gets a critical hit with rampage
00:25:29
kills kanji
00:25:30
uses it again kills teddy and then uses
00:25:33
it again
00:25:34
on you which would have killed him but
00:25:36
thankfully he survives thanks to the
00:25:38
patient caller
00:25:39
and then i'm able to finish it off with
00:25:40
chies buffula
00:25:49
remember in my intro to smt video where
00:25:51
i said to always use endure
00:25:54
i wasn't kidding and this is a perfect
00:25:56
example of why
00:25:58
but after that not much happens not that
00:26:00
i need it i do start dojima social inc
00:26:03
and max out my knowledge meaning i now
00:26:05
get the highest score on every exam
00:26:07
and after the exam i start rhysay
00:26:09
socialing
00:26:11
then at the end of july we see someone
00:26:13
on the midnight channel again
00:26:15
and after investigating we identify the
00:26:17
guy as mitsuo kubo who is believed to be
00:26:19
the killer
00:26:20
he's apparently hiding in the tv world
00:26:22
to avoid the cops so it's up to us to
00:26:24
catch him
00:26:25
and let me just say this is probably my
00:26:28
favorite dungeon in the entire game
00:26:30
everything from the design to the music
00:26:32
now the enemies in this dungeon
00:26:34
aren't as overleveled as past dungeons
00:26:37
but either
00:26:38
way brave blade makes all these
00:26:40
encounters a complete joke
00:26:41
if it doesn't kill them in one hit it'll
00:26:44
knock them down with a critical and resa
00:26:46
also helps with all-out attacks that's
00:26:48
pretty much what i do for every
00:26:49
encounter
00:26:50
brave blade and then all out attack
00:26:52
while going through i do get the skill
00:26:54
card for summary carm which is a great
00:26:56
skill
00:26:57
but i don't see myself using it so
00:27:00
i decide to teach izanagi megido instead
00:27:03
but besides that nothing interesting happens
00:27:05
i don't even think the mid boss is worth
00:27:07
going over because it's just a black
00:27:09
hand that goes down
00:27:10
super fast by the time i reach the main
00:27:12
boss izanagi is level 40 and has over 70
00:27:15
in strength magic and
00:27:16
endurance and this time since the
00:27:18
dungeon was so easy
00:27:20
i decided to fight mitsuo shadow on the
00:27:22
same day
00:27:23
now i remember this boss being extremely
00:27:26
difficult while i fought it as a kid so
00:27:29
let's see how we do now so the way this
00:27:31
boss works is that he's this floating
00:27:34
baby who hides in some kind of minecraft
00:27:37
pixel art and before we can do any
00:27:38
damage to him
00:27:39
we have to beat the minecraft pixel art
00:27:41
and this thing takes a lot of hits
00:27:44
brave blade does around 200 to 300
00:27:46
against it but even with all that damage
00:27:48
it still takes a while to bring him down
00:27:50
once his true form is exposed we then
00:27:52
get a chance to do an all-out attack but
00:27:55
gosh dang this true form has a ton of hp as
00:27:57
well but not only is he bulky
00:28:00
he also has all elemental magic and
00:28:02
megidola
00:28:03
but worst of all is that he has evil
00:28:05
smile the skill that gives everyone fear
00:28:07
which he likes to go for
00:28:09
a lot and he also has ghastly whale
00:28:12
which kills any enemies that are
00:28:14
inflicted with fear
00:28:15
so yeah that's kind of a big problem
00:28:18
eventually after fighting his real form
00:28:20
for a bit he'll start to rebuild and if
00:28:22
he rebuilds fully
00:28:23
you'll have to fight his minecraft form
00:28:25
again so it's best to start hitting him
00:28:27
as soon as he starts rebuilding because
00:28:28
that way
00:28:29
you knock him down faster and you can
00:28:31
all out attack him again
00:28:33
so this first fight does not go well
00:28:37
like i mentioned earlier he likes to
00:28:38
spam fear and innervate skills which
00:28:41
there isn't much i can do anything about
00:28:43
eventually he starts killing my party
00:28:45
members and i keep trying to revive them
00:28:47
but before long i run out of revival
00:28:50
beats after that my party members start
00:28:52
dropping like flies and it comes down to
00:28:54
a 1v1 between him and you
00:28:56
and then he kills me yeah
00:28:59
as much as i've been criticizing this
00:29:01
game for being too easy
00:29:03
this is definitely a very difficult boss
00:29:06
so i'm gonna have to rethink my strategy
00:29:08
thankfully
00:29:09
i do have a backup plan yukiko got
00:29:11
amrita from me doing her social link but
00:29:13
she
00:29:14
is very under leveled which means i'm
00:29:16
gonna have to grind her
00:29:17
thankfully when i do grind her we run
00:29:19
into a lot of golden hands which give a
00:29:21
ton of experience so
00:29:23
getting her back up to level with
00:29:24
everyone else doesn't take that long
00:29:26
and i give yukiko an accessory that
00:29:28
makes her resist fear just to be safe
00:29:30
the second attempt against the boss goes
00:29:32
much better even though we do get off to
00:29:35
a pretty bad start
00:29:36
he starts by using mabufula early on
00:29:38
which yukiko is weak to
00:29:40
and then follows it up with a megidola
00:29:41
which kills everyone except for you
00:29:44
thankfully i have plenty of revival
00:29:45
beads and after that it's pretty easy
00:29:48
brave blade is still doing a ton of
00:29:49
damage against him and after repeatedly
00:29:51
knocking him down
00:29:52
we're able to finish him off with a few
00:29:54
more brave blades and all-out attacks
00:30:11
after that we apprehend meet suo and now
00:30:14
all we can do is wait
00:30:16
during this period it's more of the same
00:30:18
working on social links prioritizing the
00:30:20
party members of course and during it i
00:30:22
maximize my social links with nanako and
00:30:25
yukiko
00:30:26
after that the fog comes in mitsuo gets
00:30:28
apprehended and the town is saved
00:30:31
that's it ladies and gentlemen the
00:30:33
killer has been caught
00:30:34
and they all lived happily ever after
00:30:39
or do they well you look at how much
00:30:42
time is left in the video and you tell
00:30:43
me
00:30:44
well anyway i do go back to meet suo's
00:30:47
dungeon to fight the optional boss while
00:30:49
in there i get another magician skill
00:30:51
card to make brave blade get upgraded to
00:30:53
god's hand
00:30:54
though to be perfectly honest i kind of
00:30:56
miss brave blade because
00:30:58
even though it is weaker it does cost
00:31:00
less and it also has a higher critical
00:31:02
hit rate
00:31:03
unfortunately there's nothing i can do
00:31:05
but hopefully i'll be able to upgrade
00:31:07
god's hand to primal force later on
00:31:10
anyway the boss is really easy it's one
00:31:12
of those gundam shadows and seems to be
00:31:14
extremely weak to physical attacks
00:31:16
because it goes down in just a few god's
00:31:18
hands anyway the next day we go on a trip to
00:31:20
the beach which doesn't really have much
00:31:22
story significance but what it means for
00:31:24
us
00:31:25
is that now everyone has a scooter and
00:31:27
we can go on road trips with them
00:31:29
doing this will teach them special
00:31:30
skills or have them remember old skills
00:31:33
it's especially important to do it with
00:31:34
resa though because doing this with her
00:31:36
will strengthen your all-out attacks
00:31:38
whenever she chips in
00:31:40
anyway during this time i maximize my
00:31:42
social link with kanji and after the
00:31:44
fireworks festival
00:31:45
school starts again and we find out now
00:31:47
toe is now a student
00:31:49
a few days later we go on a field trip
00:31:51
to guess where
00:31:52
tatsumi port island from persona 3.
00:31:55
again this doesn't have much story
00:31:57
significance but it's some cool fan
00:31:59
service for fans of persona 3 and it's
00:32:01
nice getting to see characters like chi
00:32:03
hero that nurse dude and also some of the
00:32:05
locations like kekko khan hai and club
00:32:07
escapade
00:32:09
but what most people remember for this
00:32:11
part is when everyone gets together in
00:32:12
the club and gets drunk
00:32:14
not off the drinks but off the
00:32:17
atmosphere
00:32:18
yeah i don't get it but at least we got
00:32:20
a devil summoner reference out of it
00:32:22
generations now for generations
00:32:26
wow it's like that guy from a movie i
00:32:29
watched before
00:32:30
what was his name
00:32:37
so anyway once we get back to inaba
00:32:39
things go back to normal again but on a
00:32:41
rainy night someone shows up on the
00:32:43
midnight channel again and this time
00:32:45
it is none other than naoto but not only
00:32:48
that this also means that mitsuo wasn't the
00:32:50
killer he was only a copycat and the
00:32:52
real one is still at large
00:32:55
so of course this means there's another
00:32:56
dungeon and
00:32:58
yeah we're pretty under-leveled though
00:33:00
to be honest
00:33:01
despite being under-leveled i'm actually
00:33:04
not having that much trouble with this
00:33:06
game because
00:33:07
let's be real here persona 4 golden is a
00:33:10
very easy game and
00:33:11
i do want to keep things interesting so
00:33:14
for now
00:33:15
i'm not going to grind i'm just going to
00:33:17
see how i continue to do while being
00:33:19
under level
00:33:20
but anyway this is a very cool dungeon
00:33:23
and it's also one of the few you
00:33:24
actually have to backtrack in
00:33:26
you do this because in order to progress
00:33:28
you need the leader card which is
00:33:30
guarded by the mid boss
00:33:31
this boss is another gundam that likes
00:33:33
to spam power charge and herculean
00:33:35
strike and has a ton of hp may sound
00:33:38
difficult but at this point in the game
00:33:40
izanagi has so much endurance that we're
00:33:42
taking those hits like they're
00:33:43
absolutely nothing and before long we
00:33:45
bring the boss down to zero help
00:33:47
anyway before i reach the end izanagi
00:33:49
learns mickey dolan from a magician
00:33:51
skill card and i also get the vicious
00:33:53
strike skill card
00:33:54
giving me a much needed all-targeting
00:33:57
physical attack
00:33:58
so yeah i get to nauto and in her
00:34:01
argument with her shadow we find out
00:34:02
that naoto
00:34:03
is actually a girl
00:34:07
but a name doesn't change the truth it
00:34:10
doesn't let you cross the barrier
00:34:12
between the sexes
00:34:14
how could you become an ideal man when
00:34:17
you were never
00:34:18
male to begin with what
00:34:21
you mean the character that so many
00:34:22
people call their waifu and flood my
00:34:24
twitter feed with suggestive artwork of
00:34:26
is actually a girl but yeah jokes aside
00:34:30
shadow nauto is definitely the hardest
00:34:32
boss so far
00:34:33
this thing has a wide range of attacks
00:34:35
including all elemental magic
00:34:37
brave blade tetracarn macar carn heat
00:34:40
riser debilitate and mine charge just to name
00:34:43
a few and then you have her exclusive attacks
00:34:45
element zero which cancels all your
00:34:47
elemental resistances
00:34:49
mute ray which deals damage to both your
00:34:51
hp and sp
00:34:52
and mutes you and gal gallim eyes which
00:34:54
reduces the target's hp to one and may
00:34:57
innervate so yeah this is the second
00:35:00
boss that's actually given me a good
00:35:01
amount of trouble
00:35:02
though unlike most other bosses this one
00:35:04
doesn't really have any gimmicks it's
00:35:06
basically just keep attacking until it's
00:35:08
out of hp
00:35:09
to me that translates to do nothing but
00:35:11
spam god's hand with izanagi
00:35:13
however you can't take her on alone and
00:35:16
on top of all that stuff i mentioned a
00:35:17
second ago
00:35:18
shadow naoto also hits like a freight
00:35:20
train her attacks are one-shotting my
00:35:22
party members left and right except for
00:35:24
you because of izanagi's crazy high
00:35:26
stats
00:35:27
but it's still a problem it's not like i
00:35:29
have a lot of opportunities to heal
00:35:30
either because of how much she keeps
00:35:32
spamming mute ray
00:35:33
you pretty much have to have tarunda on
00:35:35
her at all times or else your party
00:35:36
members will die in one hit
00:35:38
once i get to runed up it goes okay
00:35:41
until she kills yukiko
00:35:43
at this point i don't have any more
00:35:45
revival beads so i can't revive my party
00:35:47
members anymore
00:35:48
and after that she kills teddy followed
00:35:50
by yosuke
00:35:51
making it come down to a 1v1 between her
00:35:54
and you
00:35:55
at this point things are looking pretty
00:35:56
grim especially with her mute ray but
00:35:59
she's also extremely low on help
00:36:01
so i decide to hold out to see if i can
00:36:02
do it and i can
00:36:04
i'm able to finish her off with a hell
00:36:10
magatama
00:36:13
[Music]
00:36:20
that definitely took the cake for being
00:36:22
the hardest boss battle so far but it
00:36:24
did only take one attempt so
00:36:26
i'll take it anyway i think you all know
00:36:29
what's gonna happen by now naoto accepts
00:36:31
her shadow gets her persona
00:36:33
and then becomes our next party member
00:36:35
blah blah blah
00:36:36
and now that naoto's dungeon is out of
00:36:38
the way i don't really have much else to
00:36:40
do
00:36:41
i've already maxed out everyone i need
00:36:42
to except for risay and that's because
00:36:45
she's only available on weekends
00:36:47
so i mostly spend these weeks taking
00:36:49
everyone for scooter rides but
00:36:51
sadly ninety percent of these skills are
00:36:52
completely useless if you're doing a
00:36:54
normal run i really don't recommend
00:36:56
doing any of these except for resays and
00:36:58
naotos
00:36:59
during this time i also max out marie's
00:37:01
social inc which unlocks her dungeon
00:37:03
later in the game
00:37:04
now one thing that's kind of cool that i
00:37:06
actually didn't know about until just
00:37:08
now is that you can actually level up
00:37:10
characters at the theater
00:37:12
yeah you can only do it once for each
00:37:14
movie but it's a great way to get your
00:37:16
characters to level up if you need that
00:37:17
little push to get them to learn that
00:37:19
skill you need
00:37:20
oh yeah i also got my social stats maxed
00:37:22
out not
00:37:23
that i really need them anymore but yeah
00:37:26
this whole break between dungeons is a
00:37:27
pretty long one or
00:37:29
at least it feels that way there's even
00:37:31
this pointless filler segment where we
00:37:32
put on a concert at june s
00:37:34
how is it that people with no musical
00:37:37
experience are able to put on a concert
00:37:39
in just two days
00:37:40
oh but because i do have max social
00:37:43
stats i can now finish the beef bowl challenge
00:37:46
for which my reward
00:37:47
is absolutely nothing
00:37:51
well finally the game lets us go back
00:37:54
into the tv world where there's a new
00:37:55
optional boss and now
00:37:57
we have naoto as a party member and let
00:37:59
me tell you
00:38:00
naoto is without doubt the best party
00:38:03
member she has no weakness has multiple
00:38:05
elemental coverage
00:38:06
has one hit kill and almighty attacks
00:38:09
pretty much any enemies that you doesn't
00:38:11
one shot in the first turn naoto can
00:38:13
easily finish off with either haman or
00:38:15
mudu
00:38:16
now on our way to the optional boss
00:38:18
izanagi learns a forkful blade and
00:38:20
reaches 99 in both strength and magic
00:38:23
and with all the stuff we have this
00:38:25
optional boss is a complete joke
00:38:27
it's weak to win and now thanks to the
00:38:29
all out attack bonuses with resay
00:38:31
using it on bosses is now actually a
00:38:33
viable strategy
00:38:35
the only time things go against our
00:38:36
favor is at the end when it goes from
00:38:38
garudan which knocks you down and then
00:38:41
hits him again with garudine which would
00:38:43
have killed him
00:38:44
but doesn't thanks to a patient caller
00:38:46
after that it's just a few more hits and
00:38:48
the boss is dead
00:38:50
shortly after that i max out resa social
00:38:52
link and then start
00:38:53
naoto social inc our last party member
00:38:56
social link
00:38:57
and it's kind of the same deal as is in
00:38:59
persona 3
00:39:00
though a bit more forgiving and it's one
00:39:03
of the few social links that you can
00:39:04
actually do in the rain so that
00:39:06
definitely helps
00:39:07
oh yeah there's also the culture
00:39:09
festival and
00:39:10
yeah not much story significance just
00:39:13
more
00:39:14
filler i thought this was an rpg where
00:39:16
we were trying to catch a serial killer
00:39:19
well whatever we watched the cross
00:39:20
dressing in the swimsuit contest get our
00:39:22
mandatory hot springs arc because of
00:39:24
course
00:39:25
and thankfully after that we can finally
00:39:28
move on with the story
00:39:29
as we expect during the next rainy day
00:39:32
someone does appear on the midnight
00:39:33
channel but
00:39:34
now we have no idea who then we get a
00:39:37
letter from the supposed killer and then
00:39:39
dojima gets on to us about the
00:39:41
investigation
00:39:42
and takes us to the police station
00:39:44
during which time nanako gets kidnapped
00:39:46
yeah real smart move dojima so after
00:39:49
some reasoning and a chase scene we
00:39:51
identify the culprit as taru namatame
00:39:53
and now it's time to go into the tv to
00:39:55
save nautica
00:39:57
and this is another pretty awesome
00:39:59
dungeon because it's basically a perfect
00:40:01
representation about what a child's idea
00:40:03
of heaven is
00:40:04
but yeah thankfully i'm not as under
00:40:06
leveled as i was in the previous dungeon
00:40:08
and the enemies here are especially easy
00:40:10
because they have lots of weaknesses
00:40:12
nauto can easily down almost every enemy
00:40:15
with her coverage and finish them off
00:40:16
with rysay's now rank 4 all-out attack
00:40:19
which is pretty much an instant kill
00:40:20
whenever we get it
00:40:21
it also helps that i can easily see
00:40:23
their weaknesses with rhys scanning
00:40:25
ability
00:40:26
during this time izanagi's endurance and
00:40:28
luck both get maxed leaving me with only
00:40:30
agility left
00:40:32
now as for skill cards this is when we
00:40:34
start being able to get some really
00:40:36
useful moves however
00:40:38
i'm still getting extremely unlucky with
00:40:40
them and i also can't rank up any more
00:40:42
of izanagi's skills with the magician
00:40:44
meaning that i'm pretty much stuck with
00:40:46
god's hand unless i find a skill card
00:40:48
for primal force which i don't seem to
00:40:51
get
00:40:52
now the mid boss here as expected is
00:40:54
extremely easy it has no weakness but
00:40:56
dies after two or three gods hands
00:40:59
before long we get to namatame and now
00:41:01
we have to fight his shadow
00:41:02
but this isn't just namatame shadow this
00:41:05
is kunino sagiri the japanese god of fog
00:41:08
the best way to describe kuni no sigiri
00:41:11
as a boss is
00:41:12
basically naoto on steroids just like
00:41:15
naoto
00:41:16
kuni no sigiri has all elemental magic
00:41:18
all the break skills and unerring
00:41:20
justice which is a heavy almighty attack
00:41:23
and just like naoto he's really freaking
00:41:25
strong able to easily one shot my party
00:41:27
members without debuff so
00:41:29
make sure you either debuff his attack
00:41:31
or buff your defense at all times
00:41:33
but unlike naoto this boss actually does
00:41:36
have a gimmick he has this thing where he can take
00:41:38
control of a party member even though he
00:41:40
only does this once in this entire fight
00:41:43
and he also has a thing where he can
00:41:44
change the effectiveness of certain
00:41:46
elements while lowering all the others
00:41:48
this may sound bad but it doesn't affect
00:41:50
physical attacks or almighty attacks
00:41:52
which is pretty much everything i'm
00:41:54
using anyway
00:41:55
the strategy for this boss is pretty
00:41:57
much the same as it was for naoto
00:41:59
god's hand with you heal with yukiko
00:42:01
buff with teddy and do whatever with
00:42:03
naoto usually that being megidola
00:42:06
nothing really all that interesting
00:42:08
happens in this fight i do underestimate
00:42:10
how strong he is at the beginning so
00:42:12
some party members go down but i'm able
00:42:14
to quickly revive them after that
00:42:16
and after that it's pretty much a
00:42:17
cakewalk a very long and spongy cakewalk
00:42:20
but still a cakewalk
00:42:33
we save nautical and once again all
00:42:35
there
00:42:36
is to do is wait i take this remaining
00:42:39
time to max out naoto's social inc but
00:42:41
after that there's really nothing else
00:42:45
to do
00:42:46
no really there's almost nothing left
00:42:48
for me to do in this game besides wait
00:42:50
for the next dungeon to be available
00:42:52
i mean i can do stuff like level up in
00:42:54
the theater and go on bike rides and
00:42:56
stuff but i don't have any more social links
00:42:59
or
00:43:00
well i do but there's no reason to and
00:43:02
there's almost
00:43:03
nothing to do at night either because
00:43:05
there's pretty much nothing to do i
00:43:07
decide to work on social links even
00:43:09
though it doesn't really matter and i'm
00:43:10
probably not gonna be able to finish
00:43:12
them and then eventually the fog does come in
00:43:15
dojima and nanaka wake up but
00:43:17
namatame can't talk so we can't get full
00:43:20
closure on the case just yet
00:43:22
on top of that the fog won't die down
00:43:24
which is causing everyone to panic
00:43:26
i actually really love this part because
00:43:28
it gives you this eerie and ominous
00:43:30
feeling which is helped even more with
00:43:31
the lack of music
00:43:33
though there's still nothing else we can
00:43:35
do but wait and by wait i mean grind and
00:43:38
fight the optional boss in nanako's
00:43:39
dungeon
00:43:40
on the way to the boss in nauticus
00:43:42
dungeon i max out izanagi's agility so
00:43:44
he is now
00:43:45
fully maxed out in all stats but
00:43:48
unfortunately i still get garbage skill
00:43:51
cards well not total garbage i do get
00:43:53
regenerate 3 which is the best
00:43:54
alternative to arms master which i don't
00:43:57
have access to
00:43:58
and mine charge which might help later
00:44:01
but what i really need is recessed wind
00:44:04
you can get this from level 5 sword
00:44:06
cards which are extremely common in this
00:44:08
dungeon
00:44:09
however i seem to get everything from
00:44:12
these cards
00:44:13
except for that oh yeah and i should
00:44:15
also mention that once ryse reaches
00:44:17
level 61
00:44:18
she learns relaxing wave which heals our
00:44:20
sp by 5
00:44:21
after every battle because of this it's
00:44:24
pretty much impossible for you to run
00:44:25
out of sp
00:44:26
i have like 90 percent of my max sp by
00:44:29
the time i reach the boss
00:44:30
and as expected it's really easy the
00:44:33
only difficult thing about it is that it
00:44:34
knows physical but it doesn't really
00:44:36
seem to matter because it has pretty
00:44:38
branded ai
00:44:39
and no real strong moves i just buff
00:44:41
with teddy
00:44:42
spam strong magic and it goes down
00:44:44
pretty quickly
00:44:46
but going back to the story we later
00:44:48
find out that the glasses we got from
00:44:50
the tv world
00:44:51
actually work on the fog in the real
00:44:53
world we then get a call from adachi
00:44:55
saying that nanako's condition
00:44:57
is getting worse we then hurry back to
00:44:59
the hospital and once we get there we
00:45:01
also find out that namatame can't be
00:45:03
tried because of his method of throwing
00:45:05
people into the tv
00:45:07
but then something happens nautical's
00:45:10
condition takes a turn for the worse and
00:45:14
[Music]
00:45:16
well
00:45:20
[Music]
00:45:28
[Music]
00:45:44
nanako
00:45:53
i'm sorry sir
00:46:02
yeah i already knew about what happened
00:46:04
and
00:46:05
as much as i criticized this game for
00:46:07
its storytelling this scene still really
00:46:09
does get to me
00:46:10
it's rare in a video game or a movie for
00:46:12
a child to die but in this case
00:46:14
atlas did an excellent job of handling
00:46:17
this but now it's time to confront
00:46:19
namatame and this part is
00:46:21
very easy to mess up if you make one
00:46:23
wrong choice here you'll be locked into
00:46:25
the bad ending
00:46:26
just tell yosuke that you don't have the
00:46:28
right evidence and you'll be good
00:46:30
once everyone calms down that maxes out
00:46:32
the full social link and then starts the
00:46:34
judgment socially
00:46:35
and then we step outside to discuss what
00:46:38
we know
00:46:39
and then guess what nautica is alive
00:46:42
oh and also teddy's missing
00:46:45
okay i gotta ask why did they have to
00:46:47
ruin this part with this stupid subplot
00:46:49
where teddy goes missing
00:46:51
it just takes so much of the impact away
00:46:54
but i guess it's at least done better
00:46:56
than when morgana ran off in persona 5.
00:47:00
so anyway we meet up the next day and
00:47:01
discuss our evidence and decide to
00:47:03
confront namatame again
00:47:05
after hearing his story we conclude that
00:47:08
he is not the killer
00:47:09
after doing some investigating we meet
00:47:11
up at the diner to discuss what we know
00:47:13
and after analyzing the evidence we
00:47:15
conclude that the killer
00:47:17
is nautical
00:47:25
nah just kidding it's toru adachi we
00:47:27
confront him
00:47:28
he blows his cover and now it's time to
00:47:31
go after him
00:47:32
oh yeah that same night i also see teddy
00:47:34
in the velvet room and i max out my
00:47:36
social link with him and then
00:47:38
he sadly comes back but at least it
00:47:41
finally puts an end to this stupid
00:47:42
storyline about teddy disappearing
00:47:45
and also his new persona is pretty good
00:47:47
so that's a plus
00:47:49
but yeah we go into the tv find adachi
00:47:51
learn how he became the killer and then
00:47:53
get to his dungeon magatsu
00:47:55
inaba and magatsu mandala depending on
00:47:58
which ending you plan to do
00:48:00
this may or may not be the final dungeon
00:48:02
but anyway at this point i've pretty
00:48:04
much decided that my final team will be
00:48:06
teddy yukiko
00:48:07
and naoto i should also mention that
00:48:09
this dungeon has a gimmick as well and
00:48:11
probably my favorite one in the game
00:48:13
it involves you going through portals to
00:48:15
reach the spot you need to go to
00:48:16
progress on each floor
00:48:18
the enemies here are a complete joke now
00:48:21
toe can pretty much steamroll through
00:48:22
them all
00:48:23
and they don't put up any kind of a
00:48:25
challenge i do decide to swap maziongo
00:48:28
with meragidein
00:48:29
but then with mind charge since i have
00:48:31
meggie dolon
00:48:32
and i'm glad i decided to do this
00:48:34
because minechart gives me just the
00:48:36
power i need
00:48:37
to defeat most of the golden hands but
00:48:39
now most of you are probably wondering
00:48:41
what happens in this dungeon
00:48:43
well get this close to the end of the
00:48:45
dungeon i get the biggest stroke of luck
00:48:48
ever i get the rebirth prophecy which is
00:48:51
the accessory that gives me enduring
00:48:52
soul
00:48:53
but i also finally get the skill card
00:48:57
for resist wind we finally did it
00:49:00
everyone we're close to the end of the game but
00:49:02
we finally have a
00:49:04
weakness free izanagi oh but my luck
00:49:07
doesn't stop there
00:49:08
immediately after that i get firm stance
00:49:10
which is a skill that halves all the
00:49:12
damage you take
00:49:13
but prevents you from dodging which may
00:49:16
sound like a bad deal
00:49:17
especially with the existence of skills
00:49:19
like hama and mudo
00:49:20
but keep in mind that it only prevents
00:49:22
you from dodging it doesn't prevent the
00:49:24
enemy from missing so
00:49:25
if you ask me sacrificing your ability
00:49:28
to dodge while having all damage is more
00:49:30
than worth it in my opinion
00:49:32
but yeah i'm also able to upgrade my
00:49:34
resist win to nolwind with magician
00:49:36
skill cards but for some reason i can't
00:49:38
upgrade it to drain or repel but
00:49:40
then again as long as my weakness is
00:49:42
covered i'm not going to complain
00:49:44
now getting back to the dungeon i get to
00:49:46
adachi and he gives a society speech
00:49:49
and then we fight him now adachi is
00:49:52
without doubt the spongiest boss so far
00:49:55
even with our buffs and debuffs our
00:49:56
attacks are barely putting a dent in his
00:49:59
health he also has heat riser which is annoying
00:50:02
but for the most part this fight is
00:50:04
pretty easy he doesn't have any exclusive moves and
00:50:06
the moves that he does have
00:50:08
barely put a scratch on any of our party
00:50:10
members he basically just spams magaru
00:50:13
dynavorpal blade
00:50:14
neither of which are doing anything
00:50:17
still though adachi is just bulky as heck he can eat
00:50:20
up my god's hands like they're nothing
00:50:22
also for some reason magic seems to be
00:50:25
much more effective here despite him not
00:50:27
resisting physical
00:50:28
and god's hand having a much higher base
00:50:31
power than pretty much
00:50:32
any magic attack in the entire game i
00:50:35
don't know the way damage works in
00:50:36
persona 4
00:50:37
but it's just really weird sometimes
00:50:40
attacks do a lot
00:50:41
other times they do almost nothing but
00:50:43
either way
00:50:44
for this fight magic is much more
00:50:46
effective than physical attacks
00:50:48
well the fight goes on for a while but
00:50:50
eventually we do defeat adachi but we're
00:50:52
not done yet once we defeat adachi
00:50:55
we find out that the source of the fog
00:50:57
was amino sigiri
00:50:59
like most mega 10 games he gives you
00:51:01
some exposition about the will of
00:51:02
mankind
00:51:03
and we basically tell him up yours and
00:51:05
then he turns into a giant eyeball and
00:51:07
now we gotta fight him
00:51:10
so amino sigiri is very similar to kuni
00:51:13
no sigiri all elemental magic some
00:51:15
almighty attacks some exclusive attacks
00:51:17
but he doesn't have any of the brake
00:51:19
skills though he does have buffs which
00:51:21
is pretty annoying and as you would
00:51:23
expect he has
00:51:24
a crap ton of hp though he doesn't
00:51:28
seem to be hitting as heavy as [ __ ] you
00:51:30
know sigiri his attacks do
00:51:31
absolute diddly squat to you thanks to
00:51:34
firm stance however it does do a decent amount to
00:51:36
the rest of the party but
00:51:38
not enough to kill us easily one thing
00:51:40
that's pretty annoying is his quake
00:51:42
attack which has a chance to knock us
00:51:43
all down when it hits and he also has
00:51:45
bewildering fog which prevents us from
00:51:47
hitting him when it's active
00:51:49
combine this with the aforementioned
00:51:51
high hp and you're in for a pretty long
00:51:53
battle and if i die on this difficulty i'll
00:51:56
have to fight adachi again so i gotta
00:51:57
make double sure that i don't screw this
00:51:59
up
00:52:00
the battle strategy is pretty much the
00:52:02
same as the last few bosses just keep
00:52:03
his
00:52:04
attack down at all times heal with
00:52:05
yukiko buff with teddy and attack with
00:52:08
you and naoto
00:52:09
i just keep this up and there's not much
00:52:11
he can do to me
00:52:12
he does start spamming to kunda every
00:52:14
turn toward the end but again
00:52:16
i just keep hitting him with debuffs
00:52:18
over and over and yeah
00:52:20
20 or 30 minutes later he goes down
00:52:32
[Music]
00:52:38
we did it everybody we caught the killer
00:52:41
the fog clears up
00:52:42
we max the judgment social link and the
00:52:45
day is saved
00:52:47
and they all lived happily ever after
00:52:51
[Music]
00:52:55
or do they well you're about to find out
00:52:58
but what you need to know
00:53:00
is that right now it's back to just
00:53:01
doing normal stuff
00:53:03
it's almost like the game's not over
00:53:06
once again we return to the velvet room
00:53:08
and then we see that marie is no longer
00:53:10
there
00:53:11
she's apparently gone missing and now
00:53:13
margaret is looking for her
00:53:15
but again all we can do is wait because
00:53:17
we also find out that we're sick which
00:53:20
puts us into a coma where we see visions
00:53:22
of marie
00:53:23
now after you wake up things go back to
00:53:25
normal but again there's not much to do
00:53:28
one thing you can do during this time is
00:53:30
talk to the characters and their
00:53:32
personas will evolve again and they
00:53:34
learn new skills
00:53:35
they're pretty good but honestly some of
00:53:37
them are way too costly in my opinion
00:53:39
for example naoto's shield of justice
00:53:42
cost 160 sp
00:53:44
like dang but doing it does give them
00:53:48
better resistances so i'd say that alone
00:53:50
makes it worth doing it for every
00:53:52
character
00:53:53
so i do this with everyone and now
00:53:55
there's actually
00:53:56
another optional boss i get to fight one
00:53:58
that i completely forgot about in my
00:54:00
persona 3 video
00:54:02
and that boss is the reaper in persona 3
00:54:05
the reaper existed as kind of a way to
00:54:08
prevent players from staying on a floor
00:54:10
for too long or as sort of punishment for drawing
00:54:12
cursed cards
00:54:14
if you get into a fight with him early
00:54:15
in the game you're pretty much dead
00:54:17
now the reaper does exist in persona 4
00:54:20
but here he's more of a secret boss
00:54:22
it's pretty much impossible to encounter
00:54:24
him without trying in fact if we were
00:54:26
playing the vanilla version
00:54:27
we wouldn't be able to encounter him at
00:54:29
all unless we were playing on new game
00:54:31
plus what you have to do is you have to open
00:54:33
21 chests after which you'll start
00:54:35
hearing
00:54:36
chains rattling which means a random
00:54:38
chest on that floor contains the reaper
00:54:40
if you're not ready this can easily be
00:54:42
avoided by just going to a different
00:54:44
floor and even if you do try to open a
00:54:46
chest that contains him
00:54:47
you'll get a warning but for those of us
00:54:49
that are ready
00:54:50
we're just going to ignore the warning
00:54:52
and let the fight begin
00:54:54
so in persona 4 the reaper basically
00:54:57
functions identically to the way he does
00:54:59
in persona 3.
00:55:00
he usually likes to spend his turns
00:55:02
going for the break skills and just
00:55:03
spamming random elemental magic stacks
00:55:05
with the occasional megadoll on her mind
00:55:08
charge he also has muhammad and mamu doon but
00:55:11
he doesn't seem to go for them that much
00:55:13
he does have a lot of hp but nowhere
00:55:16
near as much as amino sigiri but he does
00:55:18
have some pretty strong offensive stats
00:55:20
as usual make sure you keep his attack
00:55:23
down and your defense up otherwise he
00:55:25
will obliterate you
00:55:26
however one thing that's kind of
00:55:28
annoying about him is that just like
00:55:30
nix in persona 3 because he has two
00:55:32
turns
00:55:33
debuffs on him only last half as long so
00:55:36
if you want to keep his attack down
00:55:38
you have to pretty much spam tarun to
00:55:40
every turn it's bullcrap but
00:55:42
if you want to live you're gonna have to
00:55:43
do it other than that i think you all
00:55:46
know the drill by now yuki go to heal
00:55:47
buff with teddy
00:55:49
attack with you and naoto nothing really
00:55:51
interesting happens in this fight it
00:55:53
pretty much goes according to plan
00:55:55
he does knock down yukiko once but this
00:55:57
isn't much of a problem
00:55:59
i also get a lucky critical hit toward
00:56:01
the end and after that it's just a few
00:56:02
more hits and the reaper goes down
00:56:10
congrats guys
00:56:14
now defeating the reaper will give you
00:56:16
the ultimate weapon for one of your
00:56:17
party members that participated in that
00:56:19
battle
00:56:20
because i don't have any of them it
00:56:21
gives me the blade of totsuko which is
00:56:23
u's best weapon
00:56:25
if you want you can keep farming him to
00:56:27
get all the ultimate weapons after which
00:56:28
he'll start giving you the ultimate
00:56:30
armors and if you defeat him once you have all
00:56:32
those you'll get the omnipotence orb
00:56:34
which knows all attacks
00:56:35
except almighty honestly this fight
00:56:38
wasn't that hard so i suppose i could do
00:56:41
that but it would also take an insanely long
00:56:43
time and i'm almost done with this game
00:56:45
anyway
00:56:46
i really just wanted to get that fight
00:56:48
to cross another boss off the list
00:56:50
so i'm gonna take what i got for now
00:56:53
but i mean for now there's really
00:56:55
nothing to do
00:56:56
after two weeks of just going to the
00:56:58
movies bike riding and reading my
00:57:00
remaining books
00:57:01
we go on a ski trip and i know what
00:57:03
you're all thinking
00:57:04
another filler segment well unlike most
00:57:07
of the vacations or field trips or
00:57:08
whatever in persona 4 this one actually
00:57:10
does play a part in the plot
00:57:12
on the last day you and whoever you
00:57:15
decide to go skiing with
00:57:16
in this case the guys all get stranded
00:57:18
in an old cottage due to a blizzard
00:57:20
an old tv turns on and everyone else
00:57:23
shows up and then they all fall
00:57:25
into the tv yeah how did they all fit
00:57:27
inside that thing
00:57:29
so we get to this place and oh hey it's
00:57:32
margaret
00:57:33
she explains that this is where marie is
00:57:35
hiding so
00:57:36
yeah this place is the hall of forest
00:57:39
it's the optional dungeon that you get
00:57:40
for completing marie's social link
00:57:42
now unlike the others this dungeon has
00:57:45
to be completed in one sitting
00:57:47
and it's also the most gimmicky dungeon
00:57:49
in the entire game
00:57:50
the first thing you'll notice is that it
00:57:52
takes away all of your items including
00:57:54
your equipment
00:57:55
and the next thing you'll notice is that
00:57:57
on certain floors including the first
00:57:59
one
00:58:00
there aren't any shadows crawling around
00:58:02
to get around in this dungeon you have
00:58:04
to cut these ropes
00:58:05
doing this has a chance to send you into
00:58:07
battle with a shadow but most important
00:58:09
of all is that your sp is halved after every
00:58:12
battle the idea of this dungeon is that
00:58:14
throughout it you'll find
00:58:15
equipment and armor that you'll only
00:58:16
have access to in this dungeon
00:58:18
some of it voids your weaknesses and
00:58:20
some of it will restore your sp every
00:58:22
turn
00:58:23
so you gotta have to use what the game
00:58:25
gives you in order to scrape up as much
00:58:27
sp as you can to fight the enemies i know
00:58:30
there are a lot of people that don't
00:58:31
like this dungeon
00:58:32
and personally i'm a little mixed on it
00:58:35
on one hand i really like the idea of
00:58:37
the game taking away your stuff and
00:58:39
forcing you to come up with a new
00:58:40
strategy on the spot
00:58:42
but at the same time not only are the
00:58:44
enemies here really weak
00:58:45
they also give you almost no exp and
00:58:48
zero money so unless you get into a
00:58:50
fight with him from opening a chest or
00:58:52
cutting a rope
00:58:53
you're better off just running past them
00:58:55
the mid-boss though
00:58:57
is freaking awesome it's the tokyo sky
00:58:59
tree
00:59:00
no i'm serious look at it what else
00:59:01
could it be but
00:59:03
it's also actually kind of challenging
00:59:05
this is one of the few mid bosses that
00:59:07
actually puts up a decent fight
00:59:09
it knows everything in the game except
00:59:11
for physical and almighty
00:59:12
which it resists and is also decently
00:59:15
strong
00:59:16
i wouldn't say it's hard though despite
00:59:18
it resisting it
00:59:19
god's hand still does a ton of damage
00:59:21
and i get a lucky critical in the
00:59:22
beginning
00:59:23
where i follow it up with an all-out
00:59:25
attack for some massive damage
00:59:27
which gets rid of most of its hp and not
00:59:29
long after that
00:59:30
it goes down
00:59:37
after that i make it to marie pretty
00:59:39
quickly because thankfully this dungeon
00:59:41
is pretty short and straightforward
00:59:43
once there marie explains that she is
00:59:45
izanami nomikoto and that she carries
00:59:48
the fog meaning that she has to die or else the
00:59:51
world will disappear
00:59:52
and now we have to fight her so
00:59:55
marie may not seem so bad at first her
00:59:58
moves aren't terribly strong her most
01:00:00
used move is hot lightning which is an
01:00:02
electric attack that may inflict dizzy
01:00:04
she also has megy dolon and mine charge
01:00:06
but she doesn't go for these as often
01:00:09
however she also reflects all physical
01:00:12
attacks so forget about using god's hand
01:00:15
overall this fight isn't too terribly
01:00:17
hard but you're limited to only using
01:00:19
magic
01:00:20
however once you knock away a good third
01:00:23
of her health
01:00:24
she'll cast shield of denial which makes
01:00:26
her reflect everything so don't even
01:00:28
try just guard a few turns after she
01:00:30
uses this
01:00:31
she'll go into her second form kusumi no
01:00:34
okami
01:00:35
and this is where things start to get
01:00:36
tricky kusumi no okami reflects
01:00:39
everything in the game except for
01:00:40
almighty
01:00:41
this may sound horrible but while
01:00:43
running around the hall of force you
01:00:44
should have gotten some items that let
01:00:46
you use the brake skills and if you
01:00:48
still have any of the brake skills
01:00:50
you should be fine on top of this every
01:00:52
time she uses bewildering fog
01:00:54
she'll do 250 damage to herself as far
01:00:57
as her other moves go
01:00:58
she has all elemental magic but
01:01:01
hopefully you got the element resisting
01:01:03
armor from the hall of force
01:01:04
if you did this won't be too much of a
01:01:06
problem she also has a move called run
01:01:09
amok which is an almighty attack that
01:01:10
hits everyone
01:01:11
overall it's not too problematic but
01:01:14
once you do a good amount of damage to
01:01:15
her she'll start going for hot lightning
01:01:17
again which makes things much more
01:01:19
frustrating
01:01:20
her most annoying moves though are
01:01:22
enclosure shell which temporarily knows
01:01:24
all attacks
01:01:25
and cry of denial which removes debuffs
01:01:27
and inflicts mute on the party
01:01:29
the best way to describe this fight is
01:01:31
that you basically have to be very smart
01:01:33
about it
01:01:34
if you're not it'll be the worst fight
01:01:35
ever but if you know what you're doing
01:01:37
it's really
01:01:38
not that bad you just have to make good
01:01:40
use of your element breaking items and
01:01:41
your limited sp
01:01:43
what i do is i use the breaker items
01:01:46
spam whatever element that breaks until
01:01:48
it wears off and rinse and repeat because of her
01:01:50
attacks you will be inflicting a lot of
01:01:52
ailments but yukiko can easily cure them
01:01:55
thankfully this boss also doesn't have
01:01:57
great defense so our attacks are doing a
01:01:59
pretty good amount of damage and before
01:02:01
long and after a lot of stalling and a lot of
01:02:03
items we finally bring kusumi
01:02:06
no okami down
01:02:10
[Music]
01:02:19
the fog is officially gone for good
01:02:22
and we have officially saved marie
01:02:25
so now what do we do well go to the hot
01:02:28
spring of course
01:02:29
where of course teddy and yosuke try to
01:02:32
peep and knock over the wall
01:02:34
because of course and then marie gets
01:02:37
pissed and zaps us
01:02:53
welcome back and then we go back home
01:02:57
you seems pretty okay for just getting
01:02:59
hit with a giant bolt of lightning
01:03:02
but after that well that's just about it
01:03:05
this game automatically skips ahead to
01:03:07
march 31st which is the day before the
01:03:09
day you is supposed to go back home
01:03:12
we mostly spend this day walking around
01:03:14
and saying goodbye to our social link
01:03:16
characters and then the game will ask us
01:03:18
if we want to leave
01:03:19
most people that played this game for
01:03:21
the first time probably just said yes
01:03:23
without giving it a second thought
01:03:25
but what happens if you say no this
01:03:28
is what you have to do if you want to
01:03:29
get the true ending and it is
01:03:31
extremely easy to miss i'm sure most
01:03:33
people that played this game back in
01:03:35
2008 missed it without even realizing it
01:03:38
after this you have to go to junes where
01:03:40
you'll have dinner with everyone and
01:03:41
then
01:03:42
you'll get a letter from adachi after
01:03:44
reading it they'll all be wondering what
01:03:45
the source of everything is
01:03:47
and then the gang will ask you to find
01:03:49
the first person you made physical
01:03:50
contact with in inaba
01:03:52
but who was it was it dojima was it
01:03:56
nanako
01:03:57
no it was that gas station attendant
01:04:00
remember
01:04:01
so you talk to her and keep pestering
01:04:03
her for more information
01:04:04
and then she'll eventually reveal who
01:04:07
she really is
01:04:08
the one behind everything izanami
01:04:12
and now we've locked ourselves into the
01:04:15
true ending
01:04:16
this is it everybody this is the final
01:04:19
dungeon
01:04:20
we have one day to do this last dungeon
01:04:23
in one run
01:04:24
now as you would expect for the last
01:04:26
dungeon this game is starting to throw
01:04:28
some really strong enemies at us but
01:04:30
with everything we've got it's really no
01:04:32
big deal
01:04:33
there are also two mid bosses the neo
01:04:35
minotaur which spans rampage and the
01:04:38
infamous sleeping table which spams maggie dolan
01:04:41
neither of these bosses are hard and go
01:04:43
down pretty quickly
01:04:44
and there are also no gimmicks to this
01:04:46
dungeon either you just head to the top
01:04:48
and reach izanami which doesn't take
01:04:50
long
01:04:51
this is it guys the final battle but
01:04:54
before we fight izanami
01:04:56
let's take one last look at our izanagi
01:04:59
level 91 with 99 in all stats with
01:05:02
mind charge god's hand vorpal blade apt
01:05:05
pupil
01:05:06
no wind regenerate 3 meggy dolon
01:05:09
and firm stance we then go through the
01:05:11
door
01:05:12
and after some dialogue the battle
01:05:15
begins
01:05:16
now let's talk about izanami's boss
01:05:19
battle though i think you all know what to
01:05:22
expect of late game bosses by this point
01:05:24
all elemental attacks check make it olan
01:05:27
check mind charge check ailment attacks check
01:05:31
though oddly enough she doesn't have any
01:05:34
exclusive special moves
01:05:36
it basically works like the last several
01:05:38
bosses we've already fought though
01:05:39
izanagi especially seems to have some
01:05:42
crazy high endurance
01:05:43
i lead off with god's hand which only
01:05:45
does around 90 damage and then i follow
01:05:47
it up with a maggie dolon which only
01:05:49
does 80. so the next turn after buffing my
01:05:52
attack i have naotoyu's augie dyne and
01:05:55
it only does a hundred damage
01:05:57
the only way i can do a decent amount is
01:05:59
with mine charge
01:06:00
thankfully this boss doesn't have a huge
01:06:02
amount of hp but with defenses like
01:06:05
these it's going to be a while before we
01:06:06
bring her down
01:06:07
especially when we have to heal every
01:06:09
turn and make sure our buffs are
01:06:10
constantly up
01:06:12
oh yeah and as you'd expect without her
01:06:14
attack debuffed
01:06:15
she can easily kill most of your party
01:06:17
members in one hit
01:06:18
that being said overall this fight
01:06:20
pretty much goes the way i want it to
01:06:22
i do get a few unlucky misses but none
01:06:25
of the party members go down during this
01:06:27
fight at all once you get izunami to zero hp
01:06:30
she'll then become impervious this is
01:06:33
another one of those story based
01:06:35
sequences so just guard with everyone
01:06:37
except for you
01:06:38
and then you'll hear igor and margaret's
01:06:40
voices in your head
01:06:41
you'll use the orb of sight and izanami
01:06:45
will now be defeated but if you think
01:06:48
we're done
01:06:49
well you must be new to the jrpg genre
01:06:52
like pretty much every jrpg boss in
01:06:55
history izanami has a second form izanami no
01:06:58
okami and holy crap
01:07:02
talk about a weird design oh and
01:07:05
also you're not healed after she
01:07:07
transforms so make sure you either save
01:07:09
your sp or have plenty of sp restoring
01:07:11
items
01:07:12
now izanami no okami deals about the
01:07:15
same amount of damage she did in her
01:07:17
first form however she
01:07:18
now actually does have several more
01:07:21
attacks including exclusive attacks
01:07:23
her favorite one seems to be fury of
01:07:25
yasugami which is a heavy almighty
01:07:28
attack
01:07:29
her strategy pretty much every turn
01:07:31
seems to be using an elemental magic
01:07:33
attack and then following it up with a fury of
01:07:35
yasugami
01:07:36
but she does have some other strategies
01:07:38
too like sometimes she'll go for a power
01:07:40
charge followed by agni astra
01:07:43
sometimes she'll use kuro ikazuchi which
01:07:46
is another almighty move and
01:07:47
occasionally use
01:07:48
masukunda matarunda or debilitate
01:07:51
once you get her low enough she'll then
01:07:53
start using ailment moves like
01:07:55
galagalim eyes and world's end a heavy
01:07:57
almighty attack that inflicts a random
01:07:59
ailment
01:08:00
now these by themselves aren't a problem
01:08:02
but pretty much every time she'll follow
01:08:04
this up with a summons to yomi which
01:08:06
actually kills all party members
01:08:08
suffering from ailments
01:08:09
thankfully she usually goes for my
01:08:11
charge before using world's end so as
01:08:13
long as you guard
01:08:14
you won't have to worry about the
01:08:15
ailments overall i wouldn't call this
01:08:18
fight
01:08:19
hard i'd say it's comparable to the
01:08:21
issumu fight in smt nocturne
01:08:24
not really difficult just very long and
01:08:26
tedious
01:08:27
it's one of those bosses that takes
01:08:28
forever to beat but you can do it if you
01:08:31
know what you're doing
01:08:32
but you can't get impatient because if
01:08:33
you do you're probably gonna die
01:08:36
in fact something like that actually did
01:08:38
almost happen close to the end of the
01:08:39
fight where i got careless
01:08:41
and forgot to guard with you after she
01:08:43
mind charged causing him to get poisoned
01:08:45
by world's end
01:08:46
which she then would have killed him
01:08:48
with a summons to yomi
01:08:49
but you is revived thanks to the rebirth
01:08:51
prophecy
01:08:53
thankfully by the time this happened she
01:08:54
was already pretty low and it didn't
01:08:56
take me long to finish her off after
01:08:58
that but don't think that once she's at zero
01:09:00
hp the fight is over
01:09:02
it goes into a scripted sequence where
01:09:04
izanami won't take any more damage and
01:09:06
will cast
01:09:07
thousand curses on your entire party
01:09:09
until she gets to you
01:09:11
once she gets to us we get some
01:09:13
motivation for our friends
01:09:15
get back up and cast myriad truths
01:09:27
[Music]
01:09:44
[Music]
01:09:46
rigger
01:09:48
[Music]
01:09:57
and that concludes the fight with
01:10:00
izanami
01:10:01
this time for good
01:10:19
the next day we meet everyone at the
01:10:21
train station
01:10:22
say our goodbyes get on the train back
01:10:25
home
01:10:26
and that is the end of persona 4.
01:10:32
[Music]
01:10:35
you'll always be my sensei forever
01:10:38
please don't forget about us over there
01:10:42
i'll do my best you better not run away
01:10:45
too senpai i'll always remember our time
01:10:47
together
01:10:48
distance doesn't matter to us even if
01:10:50
we're separated we're still
01:10:52
[Music]
01:10:57
thank friends
01:10:59
[Music]

epilogue
01:11:23
yeah in golden there's this epilogue
01:11:25
where you return to inaba a year later
01:11:27
and get to see all the characters with
01:11:29
their different clothes and haircuts and
01:11:31
yeah that's about it it's good to see
01:11:33
you senpai
01:11:35
kanji it was welcome back how could you
01:11:38
mess that up hey just shut up all right i just got
01:11:41
staged
01:11:42
well i figured someone would blow it
01:11:49
after that the credits roll and that
01:11:52
concludes
01:11:53
persona 4. there you have it ladies and
01:11:56
gentlemen it is more than possible to beat persona
01:11:59
4 golden
01:12:00
using only izanagi now i already know
01:12:04
what some of you are thinking you're
01:12:05
probably going to tell me that this was
01:12:07
hardly a challenge
01:12:08
because how much the mechanics of
01:12:09
persona 4 golden break the game and make
01:12:11
it way too easy
01:12:12
and for those of you you're right this
01:12:15
challenge was extremely easy
01:12:17
not to say it wasn't fun though i did
01:12:18
have a lot of fun playing this game
01:12:20
relying on only one persona and it also
01:12:22
gave me an excuse to play persona 4
01:12:24
again i know i give this game a lot of
01:12:26
criticism in this video but
01:12:28
despite some pretty glaring flaws i do
01:12:30
think persona 4 is a great game and it
01:12:32
does have a lot of nostalgic value for
01:12:34
me as well
01:12:36
now i'm sure a bunch of people are
01:12:38
already wondering what my next challenge
01:12:40
video will be
01:12:41
and to be perfectly honest with you guys
01:12:44
i think i'm going to be taking a break
01:12:45
from challenge runs for a while
01:12:47
i'm still going to be doing my devil
01:12:48
survivor 2 no fusion streams on my
01:12:50
second channel
01:12:51
but it's going to be a while before i do
01:12:54
another video
01:12:55
of a mega 10 challenge i want to get my
01:12:57
other planned
01:12:58
non-challenge videos out of the way
01:13:00
before i start doing challenge videos
01:13:02
again
01:13:03

01:13:04

01:13:38
[Music]
01:13:44
no such thing as citizen sin and i know
01:13:46
cause i've committed many convert my
01:13:48
volunteer to extreme melodies my own
01:13:49
mind oh i keep me oblique i bring my
01:13:51
piece to the diner we could get busy
01:13:52
pop once i get you i swear to send a
01:13:54
girl see really nothing but gods of a
01:13:55
rumor since i'm real
01:13:56
you have forgotten me i've been tied to
01:13:58
another world that has already been lost
01:13:59
to our side by memories as you remember
01:14:01
me everything you love is gone
01:14:02
once a dimensional i got this soul to
01:14:04
the heavens above what's the glock film
01:14:05
in this world you can get killed by
01:14:06
ideas but it's really no secret that
01:14:08
doesn't like cause

Just like in my Persona 3 challenge video, in this video I try to beat Persona 4 Golden using only my starting Persona. Without being able to use other personas, I'm forced to make the most use of shuffle time's skill cards, stat increasing cards, and other items to get through the game. Not many people would play the game like this, but it's a much more viable strategy than you may think. If you have any more ideas for MegaTen challenge videos, let me know in the comments!
