I'm wondering if Akihiko would've learned Elec Break if you brought him for the Justice/Chariot boss fight since that skill can pair up with Ken's makarakarn to deflect massive electric damage from Hermit's charge move, especially if you have makarakarn on everyone. The reason why Elec Break is so important is because the Hermit drains electric. With that resistance gone, it'll take damage from electric.
For the hierophant you couldve used guard strats, guarding makes it so he cant crit and cant inflict ailements. He always follows a set pattern as well so you could always know when to guard and when to attack/heal
This was a very on the fly run so i was much less knowledgeable than i am now. I recently did another run with only jack frost and never went back to tartarus at all. (I also remembered to work at be blue)
This vid is so cool! Challenge runs like these make the game so much more interesting. I thought it was cool how you had to sell old equipment to finance other stuff, which I never did in my basic playthrough. I did not even know what I had in my inventory because I just equipped the best stuff and moved on. Also I've learned so much more about the game, makes me wanna start a NG+ run.
Shuffle time does trigger if you are much stronger than the enemies on the first floor as long as you do an attack that usually leads to an all out attack. Source: I was lvl 99 grinding reaper by armageddon on the 6th floor
No, you get a LOT more than just costumes. Edit: Just found out Merciless doesn't let you carry over anything BUT costumes. That's so garbage, I hope there's a mod or something letting you bypass that. I don't wanna go to hard on NG+
@@MalachiLper I didn't realize that Merciless didn't let you carry over jack, even though other Persona games do (at least 5 did), so it's an incredibly weird decision for Atlus to do. Found a mod to change that AND keep your level at Level 1 when starting up.
@@fabuloussuperstar Granted, I think the other difficulty modes carry TOO MUCH over, since you get the MC's level, the full compendium, items, equipment, etc. I'd much prefer if they carried increasingly fewer things or had a selectable menu for what is actually carried over, since it really demotivates me to even make Ultimate Personas if I'm SO powerful I can get through the entire hard mode with just a lacklustre Persona and anything remotely trained on top of crazy stats is beyond overkill. If I could carry over my Compendium and not my levels, I at least have the option of trying to play naturally and only bust out the OP ultimate Personas during the final stretch of the game or when I hit an optional challenge. Also, Persona 4 let you carry everything over on the hardest difficulty mode, so this is just a new thing for Persona 3 Reload. ...For some reason.
@@MalachiLper If you have the PC version of P3R, try getting Mod Menu. With that, just start NG+ on hard, then force change the difficulty to Merciless and then set your levels to 1 for yourself, and then whatever your partners usually come at when they first join. I think Shinji is the only one I wouldn't change just due to his circumstances. If you do just that, it shouldn't mess up anything else. I don't know if they ended up fixing the HP/SP issue where it stays the same as it was before and not relative to level, but I'm sure there's another thing in the Mod Menu somewhere if they hadn't already fixed that issue.
His gameplay is just my life, work at my job then play videogames . . . . . . Then go into a unworldly hour of darkness to fight creatures with a power of one's inner self
On my first play through, I somehow missed the fact that evening hangouts were for personality traits, and I didn’t unlock any (other than Koro’s) until like November 😭
since persona 5 had a 67% max critrate you would think that the crit boosts dont stack, but they do, all of em. casually siegfried and bishamonten are especially busted because of this cause their skillsets are nuts
I know you said "ran out of SP because it only started using physical attacks" around 31:30 but it's not the case. I actually drained it of all SP (Spirit Drain + Drain Ability) and it was somehow still able to use Agidyne and Sexy Dance. I panicked during my playthrough and wanted to see if I could drain it of SP to prevent it from using Diarama or Diarahan (fearing it would prolong the fight). No, they are kind of "special" versions of the skills that don't use up SP. In fairness, this was during the very last phase of the fight where it was charmy mist all around.
You are so right! I was fighting the floor bosses on stream and one of em kept spamming megido and he did it FOREVER the only conclusion I could draw was that it was a 0 cost spell that he used when there were no options left. I guess I just got super lucky against lovers!
@@DillonWithaBlankieI have a SUSPICION as to why that's the case, and it's likely to maintain an "intended" AI loop or pattern so some new skills with 0 HP/SP costs are introduced specifically for those fights. that's my guess but from what you've said it likely just reinforces this. WEIRDLY, when you hack in those skills that are supposed to have 0 cost like certain boss-only skills or Theurgies like Armageddon, it will show up as 0 HP or SP cost (in Armageddon's case, it will still drop your HP/SP to 1 but doesn't cost anything if used like a regular skill)
far as i know the Fuuka tartarus visit treats all enemies like they are on the first floor since you are alone and all. or at least they are weak as shit
Letting you know now, mitsuru builds theurgy from doing rakunda too. It's a really good way for her to play passively while powering herself up Don't sleep on her
Legitimately shocked that you have such a few amount of subscribers. This video was very high quality and I can tell you put a lot of hard work and time into this video. Liked and subbed. Can't wait for part 2! Oh and here's 2,500 yen so you can CELEBRATE AT THE ARCADE
...........Having played reloaded on gamepass, and hence gotten the season pass for free, I am looking forward to finally playing the answer in september.
You probably knwo this by now but difficulty only affects damage taken and dealt and does not affect exp and money from my little testing i did during my playthrough
Internet guides are fucking useless especially just after a game has come out. A lot of them are simply wrong or misunderstanding, usually because they saw someone else's misinformation and decided to run with it.
Mitsuru forces you to go one time and she only does that if you dont visit tartarus at all once you are given the ability to go freely. You have to finish some tutorial stuff before leaving that particular day I believe? Like you have to pass floor 5 at least then you can leave
Wait a minute, isn't Fusion technically allowed as long you had the money for it? Since you had Orpheus, and Apsaras to start with? Also, Yukari is mandatory for Hierophant and Lovers anyway, so... It didn't matter.
We celebrate defeating Nyx, by going to the arcade- oh
Seeing Mitsuru say stuff like "you're in command, dude" feels so surreal. Also, given how broke you are, let's call this the Yusuke challenge.
Bless the algorithm for putting this on my feed. This is a great video, it's criminal that you only have a few hundred subs!
Thank you! Honestly I've been at it for years but the algo really hates to promote me. Glad it took this one lol
I agree this is a high quality video, good job blanket guy I’ll give you a like and sub.
Subs are great and all but you got any pizza instead? Also thank you papa
A thing about the Lovers is that it doesn't need to hit 75% HP for it to use Diarama. It only needs to hit the turn threshold.
Really well done video man can tell how much time you spent on the challenge and editing keep at it 🔥
Thank you 😭 im doing my best. To celebrate this comment I go to the arcade
Eventual part 2 gonna hit like crack, amazing video!!

Mitsuru saying dude at 18:47 is real damn funny, it's so ooc of her lol. Another plus to being called "My Dude"
That strega battle on the bridge was actually amazing! Also this video was such a blast too watch definitely made me subsribe!
didnt expect this to be a small channel, good shit
This should have more views its such an obvious yet interesting idea
the editing on those hard bosses went crazy bro, great video
So glad this showed up on my feed. Looking forward to part 2!

This randomly showed up on my feed...good vid. Subbed :)
Glad to have you!
35:46 Kenji is offended 😭😭
You're gonna try and do all of Tartarus in one visit? That should be fun to see, I've always wondered what that would be like, looking forward to it!
Shuffle time does trigger if you are much stronger than the enemies on the first floor as long as you do an attack that usually leads to an all out attack.
Source: I was lvl 99 grinding reaper by armageddon on the 6th floor
In my experience, ending any non-boss battle with a theurgy always triggers shuffle time.
@@axiological5468 yup, leme guess, you found this out by trying it on the wealth hand that absorbs or repels all attacks?
51:58 yeah i also agree that nemesis is cooler than Kala-Nemi
5:15 I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this 😂
6:07 I choked on my Mad Bull
To celebrate this amazing video, I went to the arcade
This video had me at "They fixed your accuracy" lmao
Even if you used NG+ on Merciless mode, you don't carry anything over other than costumes...

I found out completely by accident, I just decided to hang out with yukari a few times and I saw the new ability dialog
since persona 5 had a 67% max critrate you would think that the crit boosts dont stack, but they do, all of em.
casually siegfried and bishamonten are especially busted because of this cause their skillsets are nuts
I thought about what if this challenge was possible. And then the algorithm reads my minds and brings me to this. Colossal W.

dude i got recommended this video and I flippin love it. Your channel is a hidden gem dude, Hopefully you get big I like your editing style
Thank you!
Great video dude can't wait for part 2

They really announced episode Aigis on March SIX, iykyk
banger video, keep up the good work
Just fyi, Magic didn't actually help your magic defense, that's all Endurance in P3-5.
Cool run anyway!
persona 3 reload but makoto is a GAMER
Very lovely narrator voice and entertaining video!
Forget Persona 3 Dancing All Night.... WE'VE GOT PERSONA 3 RELOAD ARCADE ALL NIGHT!!!
To celebrate...
...i go to the arcade
Very awesome video 🙏
Breakin at least 10 views with this one!
I watched this video, the celebrate i went to the arcade......... oh wait they all closed down
I wonder how high you can fuse those Personas. It might have been expensive, but I wonder if it would have been possible with use of the compendium.
That was a fun video to watch and to celebrate i go to the Arcade.
You probably knwo this by now but difficulty only affects damage taken and dealt and does not affect exp and money from my little testing i did during my playthrough
I havent even finished the game and these runs have begun already shit
I.mean if you go for the bad ending sure
Hey an ending is an ending amirite? Im working on the good ending right now 😉
Very fun video love watching long form challenges
Oh boy do I have a channel for you! Its this one
I love finding "Small" Channels whenever im hyperfixating on my fav game series and seeing such a fun challenge run ^^
Amazing video!!!!❤
GREAT VIDEO!!!! I hope you make more videos like this, you got a new subscriber lol
There goes my challenge run idea
Great work I subbed
A lot of people just stumbled into this, myself included, but why has this guy just appeared in everyone’s feed?

YEEEEEEEES DILLON YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION
Please please i put my blanket on one arm at a time like everyone else
celebrating this video going to the arcade
RUclips algorithm gold. So to celebrate, I hit the arcade🎉
3:34 if you know you know
Nice Orpheus only run
Well you still need to go to Tartarus for the intro tutorial
i celebrate by going to the arcade
ALL OF TARTARUS IN ONE DAY
Love Mitsuru jinggle
9:21 whait wha?
wait wai twait shift is HARD LOCKED to floor 5? bruh
one thing, during the mitsuru ordained visits can’t you leave straight away? genq cuz i was never forced by her to go to tartarus

The only thing bigger is...
U can change merciless difficulty
Wait a minute, isn't Fusion technically allowed as long you had the money for it? Since you had Orpheus, and Apsaras to start with?
Also, Yukari is mandatory for Hierophant and Lovers anyway, so... It didn't matter.
