Defeat the Jotun of Grief in Persona 3 FES with this strategy, including recommended gear and party members. Learn how to beat The Reaper.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Bring the Support Trio (Junpei, Koromaru, and Mitsuru are implied by context, though not explicitly named as the Trio). Set all party members to 'Support'.
  2. 2
    On your first turn, have the MC 'Wait'.
  3. 3
    Allow the Trio to cast their usual support spells like Marakukaja, Masukukaja, and Matarunda.
  4. 4
    After the first or second turn, Junpei should cast Fire Break to reduce the Jotun of Grief's resistance to Agi attacks.
  5. 5
    Ai (implied to be part of the Trio, likely Mitsuru or Yukari based on typical party composition and support roles) will continuously cast Ma~kaja spells to keep your team protected.
  6. 6
    The Jotun of Grief will likely focus on debuffing your team with Ma~kunda and may use Strike Attack (150-200 HP damage) and Primal Force (over 350 HP damage, over 500 HP on critical).
  7. 7
    For the MC's actions, you can have him attack with Laevateinn or switch to Surt and use Ragnarok for increased damage.
  8. 8
    Consider equipping MC with Laevateinn, and Junpei with Laevateinn if available. Equip Ai with Frenzy Beads.
Tips
  • The Jotun of Grief nulls all physical attacks and absorbs Strike attacks.
  • Its Primal Force attack deals significant damage, especially on critical hits.
  • Jotun of Grief can cast Stagnant Air followed by Infuriate to inflict Enrage on your party.
  • Equip weapons that are not Pierce-based, such as bows or spears, for the MC. Ai's weapon and Athena's (Persona) null Pierce ability are helpful.
  • You can swap MC's Vitality Ring with an Agni Bracer if you are confident the Jotun of Grief will not use Megidolaon, but this is risky.
  • The Jotun of Grief drops a Fine Statuette and its treasure is Soma x 2.
  • After defeating the Jotun of Grief, proceed to the 254th floor of Adamah to end the Tartarus for now.
  • Activating the Rank 9 Judgment Link on the 252nd floor of Adamah allows the creation of the Lv 90 Messiah, the Savior.
  • If the MC is healthy, you can fight the optional boss, The Reaper.
  • The Reaper is Level 80 with 4,444 HP. He uses powerful attacks including Megidola (approx. 600 HP damage) and uncharged Megidolaon (over 900 HP damage).
  • Recommended party for The Reaper: MC, Ai, and Koro.
  • Recommended equipment for The Reaper fight:
    • MC: Weapon: SP +, Armor: SP +, Shoes: Any, Accessory: Magic Ring (+30% SP).
  • Ai: Weapon: Agility +, Armor: Agility +, Shoes: Any, Accessory: Lightning Gloves (Odin).
  • Aki (Koromaru): Weapon: Strength +, Armor: Strength +, Shoes: Any, Accessory: Frozen Stone (Gabriel).
  • Koro (Koromaru): Weapon: Agility +, Armor: Agility +, Shoes: Any, Accessory: Radiant Halo (Melchizedek).
  • Equip Personas that absorb at least two elements (e.g., Norn's Absorb Wind and Elec). Avoid Personas with only Null.
