Strategy:

This is a two-part boss fight against the true culprit and his Persona.

Part 1: Tohru Adachi

Adachi uses various elemental attacks (Ma-dyne spells), Almighty skills (Megidolaon), and can inflict 'Mute' and 'Fear'. He also has 'Evil Smile' (inflicts Fear) and 'Heat Riser' (buffs himself).

  • Focus on dealing consistent damage. Adachi has no weaknesses.
  • Keep your HP high and cure 'Mute' and 'Fear' immediately.
  • Use buffs (Matarukaja, Marakukaja) and debuffs (Tarunda, Rakunda, Sukunda, Debilitate) to counter his buffs and weaken him.
  • He can hit hard, so be prepared for a long fight.

Part 2: Ameno-sagiri

After defeating Adachi, he summons Ameno-sagiri. Ameno-sagiri has no weaknesses and can absorb various elements. It uses powerful Almighty attacks (Nebula Opus, God's Judgment) and can inflict 'Silence' and 'Enervation'.

  • Ameno-sagiri will frequently change its elemental affinity, absorbing one element. Avoid using that element.
  • Its most dangerous attack is 'Nebula Opus', which hits all party members for massive Almighty damage. When it charges this, Guard with all party members.
  • Use Debilitate (Naoto) to lower its stats and Heat Riser (Naoto) to boost your main attacker.
  • Keep your HP high with Mediarahan.
  • This is a battle of attrition. Focus on consistent damage, healing, and managing buffs/debuffs.

Rewards:

  • Adachi is defeated and arrested.
  • Progresses the story towards the true ending path.
