Treasure Demon Items

Navigate Persona 5 Royal's Mementos Requests, including Black Frost and Shadow Aino. Learn effective strategies and the unique weaknesses of these bosses.

Mementos Requests offer valuable EXP and items, even if not strictly tied to Confidants. One such request, "One Who Bullies Bullies," involves a boss fight against Black Frost/Shadow Sakoda on Aiyatsubus 5th Floor. This unique enemy repels Fire, drains Ice, and is immune to Nuclear and Curse. Avoid using Mudoon, as a reflection can lead to a Game Over. Black Frost uses a powerful Physical attack, Mamudo (low-level Curse skill with instant kill chance), and Mabufu (Ice damage to all).

For this fight, consider leaving Ann behind due to Mabufu. Yusuke can help with resistances. A Persona that resists Curse is highly recommended to counter Mamudo. Morgana's Lucky Punch and Ryuji/Yusuke's physical attacks are effective. Personas like Inugami (Null Curse) and Jack Frost (Drain Ice), found in Madarame's Palace, can be very useful.
