Part 20

Preparation: Equip the MC with a Power Enhancer (PE) or a Persona with Auto-Tarukaja. If you have extra PEs, distribute them to other party members. Bring Aki along and set him to Knock Down, others to Stand By.

Opening Moves: Ask Fuuka to analyze the enemy. On the MC's first turn, cast Mazio and cancel the All-Out Attack (AOA). Cast your own Tarukaja (or use Fierce Sutra) on two PE-less friends over two turns, using Mazio and canceling AOA.

Offensive Strategy: On the MC's third turn, cast Mazio and use AOA to end the battle quickly. Alternatively, if Aki has managed to knock down all enemies and weaken them, you can attempt an AOA if Aki has the last or second-to-last turn. Be cautious, as they may retaliate with Kill Rush if they have a chance.

Ghoul: Nulls Garu.

Hua Po: Knows Agilao.

High Pixie: Knows Bufula.

Take-Mikazuchi: Knows Zionga.

Bow of Affection: For MC to attack and potentially trigger Charm.

Yukari should cast Garu, Mitsuru Bufu, and Aki Tarunda (lowers enemy attack by 50%).

MC can heal, use attack items (Agilao, Zionga), or assist Aki with Tarunda. He can also cast Rakukaja on himself.

Switch Aki's tactics periodically: Support/Heal every three turns, then Knock Down or Act Freely to ensure he casts Tarunda when needed.

Yukari's primary role is healing. Mitsuru can assist with healing or act freely.

Be prepared to use Revival Beads frequently, especially on Aki and Mitsuru.

Critical hits can result in AOA damage of 120-150 HP.

Try to inflict Shock status with Zio or Zionga before critical hits.

If the Intrepid Knight is charmed, switch to Hua Po and cast Agilao (approx. 70 HP damage). Charm can last up to five turns.

After a few turns of charm, use a Revival Bead on Aki if needed to maintain Tarunda. You can leave Mitsuru down if reviving her wastes too many turns.

Post-Battle: Continue upstairs to the 64th floor. Obtain Old Document 03 and return. A free day is available later if you cannot defeat the Intrepid Knight initially.

Treasure(s): Megido Gem x 2, Soma
