Secrets

0/1

Shoot the giant ballistas located throughout the upper chambers to smash distant stone walls, creating shortcuts and opening paths forward.

Enemies

Anubis

Has no weaknesses and repels Bless and Curse; rely on status effects like Sleep or high-crit physical skills to knock him down.

Thoth

Weak to Psycho

Uses heavy Nuclear attacks; hit him with Psy skills for an easy knockdown.

Isis

Weak to Psycho

Resistant to magic elements except Psy; frequently heals other shadows if not eliminated quickly.

Lamia

Weak to Ice

Casts despair and fire spells; weak to Ice attacks.

Mot (Cognitive Beast fight minion)

Weak to Wind

Summoned by the boss during the fight; vulnerable to Wind damage.

Shops and people

Jose (Mementos): Trades stat-boosting incense, recovery items, and accessories in exchange for flowers and stamps found in Mementos.

Tips

Bring plenty of Relax Gel or items that cure Despair, as the boss and several dungeon enemies use status effects that cause affected party members to die after three turns.
Use physical or gun-focused party members for the first phase of the boss fight, because the boss flies out of melee range until knocked down by the ballista.
