Yukiko’s Castle is the first real dungeon players will be exploring inPersona 4 Golden. While it’s only seven floors long, players will experience a lot and learn about the ins and outs of the game while being eased into the combat.
While the first few floors don’t pose as much of a challenge, the later floors will introduce players to the Magical Magus, the strongest enemy you’ll randomlyfind in the dungeon. Here’s its affinities and how to beat it easily.
Wind
Light
The Magical Magus has a few skills that can deal a lot of damage to those who are unprepared. They focus mostly on fire damage so your best bet is tograb fire-resistance accessories found in golden cheststhroughout Yukiko’s Castle. These accessories can also be helpful for theboss fight at the end, so they are worthwhile items to grab.
Whenever you see the Magical Magus gathering magic power,guard that next turn as it will often use Agilao, a tier two magic spellthat will do boosted damage, and can easily knock out anunprepared party member. Hysterical Slap can also do a lot of physical damage as it hits twice, but not as hard as Agilao which is its real threat. The protagonist is the only character able to get light skills this early in the game, and it’s best if Chie and Yosuke sit this fight out and focus on guarding so they don’t go down.
Early-Game Persona With A Light Skill In Persona 4 Golden
The bestearly-game Personathat has a light skill isArchangel, which comes with Hamanaturally Archangel also learns Media at level 12, which will be a very useful skill to bring to the boss fight on the final floor. It is a level 11 Persona, and can easily be fused with:
InPersona 4 Golden, light, and dark skills are only the insta-kill variants, meaningHama will be an insta-kill attack hitting the enemy’s weakness. Because of this, it will almost always hit, and when it does the enemy will die instantly, making one of the strongest enemies in this dungeon one of the easiest to take down. Due to its high level, these can be a great enemy to farm as long as you have items to restore your SP or if you’re okay with going into the boss fight with less than usual.
