Yukiko's Castle, the first major dungeon in Persona 4 Golden, presents a gradual difficulty curve. While early floors are manageable, later encounters introduce the formidable Magical Magus, a powerful random enemy. This guide details its weaknesses and optimal strategies for defeating it.

Magical Magus Weakness & Skills In Persona 4 Golden

Null Strong Weak Fire Wind Light

The Magical Magus utilizes potent fire-based attacks. Equip fire-resistant accessories, obtainable from golden chests within Yukiko's Castle, to mitigate this threat. These accessories are also beneficial for the final boss battle.

When the Magical Magus begins charging, guard on your next turn. It frequently casts Agilao, a high-damage fire spell capable of instantly defeating unprepared party members. While Hysterical Slap inflicts physical damage (hitting twice), Agilao poses the greater danger. Strategically, it's advisable for Chie and Yosuke to focus on guarding, allowing the protagonist, the only character with access to early light skills, to take the offensive.

Early-Game Persona With A Light Skill In Persona 4 Golden

Archangel, a level 11 Persona, is the ideal early-game choice, possessing the innate Hama skill. It also learns Media at level 12, a valuable healing spell for the final boss fight. Archangel can be fused using:

• Slime (Level 2)
• Forneus (Level 6)

In Persona 4 Golden, Hama (and other light/dark skills) are instant-kill moves, effective against enemy weaknesses. This high success rate, coupled with its instant-kill potential, makes the Magical Magus a surprisingly easy target. Farming this enemy is viable, provided you have sufficient SP recovery items, or are willing to enter the boss fight with reduced SP.
