Persona 3 Reloadfeatures a seemingly never-ending stream of bosses and enemies for players to fight. From the moment they enter Tartarus, each new floor serves as a puzzle that is solved when discovering the weaknesses of new shadows. While the enemies that roam each floor remain fairly consistent in difficulty, there is one type that provides a much bigger challenge:Formidable Shadows.

Enslaved Beastis one ofPersona 3 Reload’s earliest Formidable Shadows, introduced in the Arqa region of Tartarus. This enemy, like all Formidable Shadows, presents a challenge that is well beyond the average fight in Tartarus. These encounters are much closer to the mini-bosses that often act as a barrier to progression. This guide will explain how to easily defeat the Enslaved Beast every time it is encountered.

This fight is likely to occur near the date of Akihiko’s return. If players struggle with this fight, especially when playing atP3R’s higher difficulty levels, it may help to wait until a full party is available on and after May 23rd.

Enslaved Beast is weak to Fire

Players should have access to Agi through Orpheus, though it is possible to accidentally release or fuse that Persona. If the player is without a Persona with Agi, the best way to quickly change that is by heading to theVelvet Room.There, theSummonfeature will allow you to purchase a Persona and summon it to your inventory. Players can also attempt to usePersona 3 Reload’sFusionmechanic to create a higher-powered Persona with boosted fire-based spells.

How to Beat the Enslaved Beast in Persona 3 Reload

TheEnslaved Beastis one of the easier Formidable Shadow fight inPersona 3 Reload.BecauseJunpei’s Persona Hermes has Agi, it is possible to get multipleAll-Out Attacksper round. This will make the fight somewhat trivial, even with a three-person party.

If playing at a higher difficulty level, it may be wise to wait until Akihiko’s return before heading to the higher levels of Arqa where the Enslaved Beast is likely to be found. With a four-person party, the player character and Junpei can act as the primary attackers, while Yukari and Akihiko can provide support. This will end the fight quickly.
