Yukiko's Castle serves as the first significant dungeon in Persona 4 Golden. Despite its relatively short length (seven floors), it provides a crucial introduction to the game's mechanics and combat system.
While the initial floors present minimal difficulty, later levels introduce the Magical Magus, a formidable random encounter. This guide details its weaknesses and optimal strategies for defeating it.
Magical Magus Weakness & Skills in Persona 4 Golden
| Null | Strong | Weak |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Wind | Light |
The Magical Magus employs several high-damage skills, primarily fire-based attacks. Equipping fire-resistant accessories, obtainable from golden chests within Yukiko's Castle, is highly recommended. These accessories also prove beneficial during the final boss battle.
When the Magical Magus begins charging its magic, utilize the Guard command on your next turn. It frequently casts Agilao, a powerful fire spell capable of severely damaging or incapacitating unprepared party members. While Hysterical Slap inflicts substantial physical damage (two hits), Agilao poses the greater threat. Strategically, it's advisable for Chie and Yosuke to focus on guarding, minimizing their risk, while the protagonist, possessing early access to light skills, takes the offensive.
Early-Game Persona with a Light Skill in Persona 4 Golden
Archangel is the ideal early-game Persona with a light skill. It naturally possesses Hama and learns Media at level 12, a valuable skill for the final boss fight. Archangel is a level 11 Persona, 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 against the Magical Magus's weakness results in swift and decisive victories. Farming this enemy can be advantageous, provided you have sufficient SP-restoring items or are willing to enter the boss fight with reduced SP.
