Persona 5: Royal is an RPG where you have to spend some time working on the levels of your characters to make sure they are ready to handle the next big threat in the game. They won't always be able to rely on standard leveling. that they receive while walking in a palace. Instead, you have to take them through the memories to fight off the many different shadows you can find there. One powerful entity that you can potentially harness is the Reaper, but it's a bit tricky.
Morgana warns players to avoid the Reaper at all costs. He is an extremely powerful enemy in the game, able to defeat a party member with a single attack. However, if you are able to defeat the Reaper, you and your party members can receive plenty of experience points for doing so, increasing your level, as well as your teammates. To summon it, you must remain inactive in Mementos for two minutes. After that, Morgana notices how he can hear chains clicking in the distance, and the Grim Reaper comes to the level somewhere. You want to look for it and do your best to remove it.
Previously, you could exploit the reaper by attacking it during a flu day and have it in all three terms, much like all the other shadows in Mementos. This feature has been removed from Royal, which means players must now fight him directly to take him down.
You don't want to do this when you're at a low level. Instead, you want to do this when you and your party members are roughly between 50 and 60, probably closer to the mid-60s. At this point, you have a chance to remove it. Outfit everyone in your party with the best gear available to you. You also want to make sure they have these spells available during combat:
- Make sure one of your party members has the Divine Pillar accessory, which ensures that the enemy attack still hits but does half the damage.
- Have a healer able to cast Mediarahan (it heals all party members present)
- Bring someone who can cast Makarakarn (you want to use it immediately in a fight).
When you start the fight you want any party member who uses Makarakarn first. When they do, they force the reaper into a specific loop where he regularly throws Megidolaon. You want your squishy party members to focus on their defense while the Reaper charges. If you can, give specific party members who can reliably throw attack and defense buffs during this time, giving each team member a decent enough boost to damage the Reaper when it's yours. tower.
Unfortunately, there is no fixed way to reliably farm and kill Reaper like players could during flu season in November and December in the original Persona 5 game. Royal prevents players from remove it during this time after three turns. Now it's all about complementing your party members who have the best care and trying to force the Grim Reaper into a cycling loop where she uses Megidolaon.
