Persona 3 Reload presents a variety of challenging battles across Tartarus and the overworld. While facing Tartarus bosses and the 12 Arcana Shadows is daunting, the remake introduces new story encounters, including the Shadow of the Abyss.
Persona 3 Reload: Shadow of the Abyss
The Shadow of the Abyss emerges on Aug. 14, during a story event where the Protagonist encounters Takaya confronting a Shadow resembling Abaddon of the Devil Arcana. After a brief exchange, the Protagonist teams up with Takaya to confront and defeat the Shadow.
Depending on your chosen difficulty level, this battle can range from straightforward to challenging. If playing on Hard or Merciless difficulty in Persona 3 Reload, understanding the weaknesses of the Shadow of the Abyss and the best strategies for defeating it is crucial.
How to defeat the Shadow of the Abyss
Regrettably, the Shadow of the Abyss has no discernible weaknesses to exploit and is resistant to all attacks. However, since this is a story-driven battle, you won’t need to switch Personas. For higher difficulty levels, consider fusing a Healing Persona to endure the three-turn battle.
After surviving three turns, Takaya intervenes with a potent attack, obliterating the Persona and vanquishing the Shadow of the Abyss, concluding the story encounter.
