Mastering The Challenge: How To Defeat Elizabeth In Persona 3 Reload

Persona 3 Reload is a tough enough game on its own, but if you’re looking for an even greater challenge, you’ll be glad to know that this game also features one of the hardest secret bosses in the series. Here’s how to fight Elizabeth in Persona 3 Reload.

What You Will Learn

  • Understanding the requirements to unlock the Elizabeth boss fight.
  • Essential gear and equipment needed to face Elizabeth.
  • Recommended Personas to enhance your chances of victory.
  • Strategies for defeating Elizabeth and overcoming her powerful moves.

Unlocking the Elizabeth Secret Boss Fight in Persona 3 Reload

They don’t call it a secret boss for a reason. Unlocking the fight with Elizabeth can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing. But if you’ve been keeping up with all her requests, then you’re on the right track.

There are two conditions to unlocking the fight in Persona 3 Reload: by beating the game once, or by defeating the Reaper on your first playthrough.

Fighting the Reaper

Once you’ve made it to the top of Tartarus, you can speak with Elizabeth to accept a new request that tasks you with fighting the Reaper. The Reaper itself has a higher chance of appearing in Tartarus if you dawdle on any one particular floor for too long. All you have to do is spend more than five minutes on any floor in Tartarus, and Fuuka will let you know that a dangerous Shadow is heading your way.

Once the Reaper appears, slash at it with your sword to begin the fight. Upon defeating the Reaper, you can report back to Elizabeth to complete the quest. Doing so will unlock request 55 and a new Monad dungeon on the 255th floor of Tartarus.

At the end of the Monad dungeon, you’ll face off against Elizabeth.

Fighting Her on New Game Plus

Alternatively, if you didn’t fight the Reaper during your first playthrough in Persona 3 Reload, you can still unlock the Elizabeth fight on new game plus.

On your second run, reach the top of Tartarus, then speak with Elizabeth to accept request 55 and enter the Monad dungeon. Get to the end of the dungeon to find Elizabeth.

Required Gear and Equipment

Beating Elizabeth also requires you to have the right gear setup. We’ve listed all of the items down below:

Alternatively, you can also consider the Excalibur for your weapon or the Eternal Plate for your armor. These will give you additional SP and physical damage reduction.

Which Personas to Bring

The main Persona you need to bring to this fight is Orpheus Telos, which can be very hard to fuse on a first playthrough, which is why I recommend doing this on new game plus. That said, here are the two main Personas to bring to the fight:

PersonaSkills
Orpheus TelosSpell Master
Heat Riser
Concentrate
Almighty Boost
Debilitate
Morning Star
Invigorate 3
HelelEndure
Almighty Boost
Multi-Target Boost

You’ll use Orpheus Telos for most of the fight, while Helel comes in for the last section. You need Endure to be able to survive Megidolaon. You may also want to consider bringing in another Persona with Enduring Soul just in case you need it for any emergency instakill situations.

All Elizabeth Personas and Moves

Elizabeth has eight Personas she can use, and while there is a set pattern you need to follow to win, it can’t hurt to get familiar with her moveset either.
