Hell yeah. I just killed the first boss. I'm at the airport, excited about my 2-hour flight.

I've fought that cock sucker about 40 times. I did a challenge to see if i could kill him with only reflects for another user, and that was 31 of them. But the other 9 times, hardest boss fight in any game for sure, especially on fes. In p3p i can get my rhythm going so it's a little easier but still. Nyx is a slimy cocksucker on hard

Nyx is painfully unfun to fight, this is a normal occurrence unfortunately.

I ended up painfully grinding to 99 and fused Lucifer and Satan for Armaggedon. At that level with my gear and personas, I solo'd Nyx up until the last stage and used Armaggedon.

You should be about level 70. It's far too easy to be overleveled in Reload, but I don't actually think they made the fight any easier. I managed to beat it in the original P3 at level 95 and the only reason Yukari and Ken died is because I couldn't change their tactics. Don't be overleveled or have too good Personas and it'll be challenging.

Complete joke.

I beat nyx on hard with only my lv 75 siegfreid. It's so easy that I'm disappointed.

according to my friend, easy

Well presumably you mean isshin, it depends where you are failing at, if you can post a video of an average attempt you can get better feedback

Phase 1 is fairly easy. He swings his sword and has very limited moveset. You can either deflect his ashina cross or run away to the left and he'll miss and you can hit him. He has a sweep you can jump on his head.

Phase 2 is the real challenge of the fight. He throws you a curveball and now has a very diverse moveset and punishes you for not knowing it. His spear has some serious reach and between the slower spear attacks and faster sword followups, you gotta be on your toes to deflect properly or he's gonna knock your ass on the ground and punish you. You can dodge his overhead jump slam he does with his spear to get a hit in. When he does the jump back spear attack you can dodge forward and get 1 hit in and then prepare to deflect

Phase 3 is phase 2 but with the benefit that he does does lightning. That's good. Reversing lightning on him stuns him and does massive posture damage and if you're lucky, he will spam the attack enough to where phase 3 can be shorter than phase 1. If you're unlucky or refuse to reverse lightning, it's phase 2 all over again

Look up vids on how to defeat him, no shame in that. It’s akin to a boxer studying his opponent’s previous fights. Thats how I figured out how to beat him. Realized my approach was wrong, he was still a bitch to take down but I did it!

Have you gotten to his third phase?

Have you tried killing the final boss?

There is 3h video on YT analyzing his moveset.

Watch the part that covers phase 1 then try to spot different visual clues as you are playing.

I had a very hard time connecting the visual clue with the reaction as I just did not know what to look for exactly.

When you already know his body language the rest is just a bit of practice and consistency

Awesome honestly lost a bit of a faith I could do it myself at first but after coming back from a good night's sleep with a clear head it only took me a couple more attempts after struggling for a good while beforehand.(Like over a week or so of failure)

Nice job dude! I beat it last night MY GOD it was hard.

One of the best feelings lmao. most of my friends are actually into bullet hells so it took them a small amount of time to beat it but after a few hours i managed to do it and it felt so nice

That took me much more than 5 tries and i couldnt even ragequit because that would set me back to like an hour worth of prior phases lol

That’s the reason I didn’t ragequit either. I thought “oh no do I have to do all the phases again”

Octoslash ruined my life when I almost had him beat. Really loved these sets of boss battles

You're scared because you fear he's going to break out, right? I fear that too, but I'm ready for if he suddenly starts talking directly to the player at any point during the game.

This took me so many hours the first time honestly.

In the case of the vanilla final boss? Same way I beat most bosses. Beat on them until their HP reached 0. My preference was to deal the final blow with Messiah, appropriate to the boss' namesake in Gnosticism.

It was a 4 hour struggle the first time. Because I was really bad with time management, Morgana and Igor were the only confidants I had maxed, so I didn't really have any good healing or revive items. So each time I went through the fight it was a war of attrition as to what would crack first, my SP or Yaldaboath's HP. And considering it took I think 18 tries to beat him, I think you know the answer. It was much easier the second time since I knew what I was doing by that point, and I expect it to be extremely easy when I get to it at the end of my third playthrough. Because this time I have Satanael, and have had him since like halfway through the first palace.

Idk I didn't have any problems. Just usual buffs and charge then ded

Hassou Tobi'd his ass

I was over leveled. I had the auto-teamwide buffs equipped. Brought Ryuji, Ann, and Makoto (with President’s Insight equip). I debilitated Yaldaboth, then I kept charging and concentrating to do as much damage a possible. Guarded and healed when I needed to and defeated him before he could bring out the 3rd arm.

This feels poetic.

Shido screwing himself over in the end.

Yeah. The best is when his first skill oneshots himself

bro this exactly so hype winning like this! congrats!

That's glorious. I needed someone to get their comeuppance as well. I just watched episode seven of Blackout: Snow White Must Die and the amount of people in that show that need karma to slap them down had me seething. So, great timing with this and congrats. 

Had something similar happen, I decided to go into the fight with only the persona metatron which is the one you got from the justice confidant akechi, shido used a wind attack that metatron reflects and it killed him. Feels poetic, like shidos actions against akechi coming back to bite him and in the end being what does him in.
