Yukiko's Castle serves as the first major dungeon in Persona 4 Golden. Despite its relatively short length (seven floors), it provides a significant learning experience, gradually introducing players to the game's mechanics and combat.
While the initial floors present minimal difficulty, later levels introduce the Magical Magus, a formidable random encounter. This guide details its weaknesses and effective strategies for defeating it.
Magical Magus Weakness & Skills in Persona 4 Golden
| Null | Strong | Weak |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Wind | Light |
The Magical Magus utilizes skills capable of inflicting substantial damage on unprepared players. Its attacks primarily focus on fire-based damage; therefore, acquiring fire-resistance accessories (found in golden chests within Yukiko's Castle) is highly recommended. These accessories prove beneficial not only in this encounter but also during the final boss battle.
When the Magical Magus begins charging its magic, utilize the Guard command on your next turn. It frequently employs Agilao, a powerful tier-two spell that can easily eliminate unprepared party members. While Hysterical Slap inflicts significant physical damage (hitting twice), Agilao poses the more considerable threat. Strategically, it's advisable for Chie and Yosuke to focus on guarding, minimizing their risk of being incapacitated, while the protagonist, who has access to light skills at this early stage, takes the offensive.
Early-Game Persona with a Light Skill in Persona 4 Golden
Archangel is the optimal early-game Persona possessing a light skill, naturally equipped with Hama. It also learns Media at level 12, a valuable skill for the final boss fight. This level 11 Persona can be easily fused using:
- Slime (Level 2)
- Forneus (Level 6)
In Persona 4 Golden, light and dark skills function as instant-kill attacks, targeting enemy weaknesses. Hama's high success rate, coupled with its instant-kill potential, makes the Magical Magus a surprisingly easy target. Given Archangel's high level, farming the Magical Magus can be advantageous, provided you have sufficient SP-restoring items or are willing to enter the boss fight with reduced SP.
