Yukiko's Castle serves as the first major dungeon in Persona 4 Golden. Despite its relatively short length (seven floors), it provides a crucial introduction to the game's mechanics and combat. While the initial floors present minimal difficulty, later encounters introduce the Magical Magus, a formidable random enemy. This guide details its weaknesses and effective strategies for defeating it.
Magical Magus Weakness & Skills in Persona 4 Golden
The Magical Magus utilizes powerful skills, primarily fire-based attacks. Equipping fire-resistant accessories, obtainable from golden chests within Yukiko's Castle, is highly recommended. These accessories also prove beneficial during the final boss battle.
When the Magical Magus begins charging magic, utilize the Guard command on your next turn. It frequently employs Agilao, a potent magic spell capable of significantly damaging, or even eliminating, unprepared party members. While Hysterical Slap inflicts considerable physical damage (two hits), Agilao poses the greater threat. Strategically, it's advisable for Chie and Yosuke to focus on guarding, minimizing their risk, while the protagonist, the only character with access to early-game light skills, takes the offensive.
Early-Game Persona with a Light Skill in Persona 4 Golden
Archangel is the optimal early-game Persona possessing a light skill, Hama. Archangel also learns Media at level 12, a valuable skill for the final boss fight. A level 11 Persona, it can be fused using:
- Slime (Level 2)
- Forneus (Level 6)
In Persona 4 Golden, light and dark skills function as instant-kill moves. Hama, targeting the enemy's weakness, boasts a near-guaranteed instant kill, making even the dungeon's toughest enemy easily defeated. Given Archangel's high level, farming Magical Magi can be advantageous, provided you have sufficient SP recovery items, or if you're willing to enter the boss fight with reduced SP.
