Defeat the Hanged Man in Persona 3 FES. Learn boss stats, weaknesses, and recommended strategies for the November 4th Full Moon.

  • Persona with Null Strike (Thor recommended).
  • Junpei set to Support, others to Full Assault.
  • Masukukaja (if available).
  • Mind Charge and Charged Ragnarok (optional, risky).
  • TWENTY cans of Cielo Mist (for Request #084).
  • Scrub Brush (for Request #082).
  • Completed Request #059 to unlock Request #083.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Equip Thor before engaging the final boss.
  2. 2
    Set Junpei to Support and others to Full Assault.
  3. 3
    On the first turn, have Junpei cast Marakukaja, Koro cast Agidyne, and Ken cast his best spell.
  4. 4
    If you have Masukukaja, cast it on the MC's first turn.
  5. 5
    Use Vicious Strike to defeat all three Statues.
  6. 6
    This will cause the Hanged Man (HM) to fall, exposing him. Use Akasha Arts (AoA) for over 800 HP damage, more if Matarukaja is active.
  7. 7
    While downed, HM uses Summon Statues and Summon Devious Maya.
  8. 8
    Once HM is on the ground, he will use Akasha Arts, a multi-hit Strike attack that can deal over 500 HP damage if critical. God's Hand is a single-hit Strike attack dealing about 300 HP damage.
  9. 9
    Warning: Finish HM quickly when he becomes limp to avoid losing a large EXP bonus. He can use Akasha Arts up to three times in a row.
  10. 10
    If you have Mind Charge and Charged Ragnarok, use it for over 1,200 HP damage. Warning: Switching Personas other than Thor exposes MC to Akasha Arts.
