Elizabeth uses Diarahn first time when her HP is below 10000. 2nd time is when her HP is below 7000, but then she uses 9999 Megidolaon every turn. So you might be able to get a counter to bring her HP below 7000 so she doesn’t do a second Diarahn. This way, you could finish her with a Therugy that ISN’T Armageddon.
The whole thing pretty much relies on RNG. Need to hit upper limit for damage values while critting. Also, Fuuka ruined probably a quarter of my attempts xD
Even if you do 7 turns kill without DLCs, you still need to mid-highroll crit SH (and highroll crit Akasha if you go for 6 turns kill) and pray that Elisabeth doesn't rakukaja on 2nd turn and/or tarunda on 3rd before entering 2nd phase on top of Fuuka charge/focus instead of heatrise the already heatrisen protag. At least with DLCs you can skip 2 of her action RNGs.
@@rwgarchia5187 random in what effect it will do between buff or fully charge. For healing it seems to proc more the more you are actually hurt/have low SP. But I’ve only ever had the healing trigger if my HP was low.
This boss was so stupid when i didnt understand and just continually got megidolon spamed because i didnt know the null penalty until I figured it out from sheer force.
You can use any persona technically. However I chose pixie cuz of the mirror swag and also because its one of the personas with the lowest stats. This means reflect damage is also higher? (not too sure of this tho since I didn't test with other personas) Maybe someone in here knows.
@@JiggehFly does it? Could be wrong but I always thought the damage calculation would be done with the recipients endurance. So Elizabeths attack vs her endurance but I have never thought about it. I'll do some testing later on
@@JiggehFly it goes off Elizabeth’s stats I’m pretty sure because she takes more damage from the reflect in higher difficulties. It’s 600-800 in normal and I know it’s around 1k-1.2k damage In merciless. Not sure about hard.
Trying to copy this might be the most miserable thing I've ever attempted in any game. I've only succeeded at doing the 7k damage crit once ever. Most of the time, it hits for like 4-5k. Even tried lowering the difficulty to see if that would help.
hope this gets show nto more people i went to challenge elizabeth without prior knowledge and essentially went frick this and left as much as i love p3 this boss is pretty bs due to the fact that you have to follow rules and idc if she has 20k health or a 9999 megidlaon i just want to fight her on fair terms
RNGsus has abandoned me, it seems. I just cannot clear that 7k minimum on the first turn. My Cendrillon is maxed out and everything. 40 attempts now and I only cleared 7k 3 times. Of those two, Fuuka didn't charge and on the other my gauge didn't fill up completely. What a mess.
My Scarlet Havoc is only doing like 6150 damage with crit. my cendrillon is max strength, so im confused why its not doing 7k+, but does is matter that it has extra stats due to equipped armor, cause im using lucifers blade which is +7 and a charm that is +3 which means the actualy St is about 90 not 99
You should be able to hit 7k+ with the same build and max stats. Probably just not hitting those high rolls on SH. As far as I know the extra stats past 99 don't matter unlike in persona 5. In my experience I remember that I tried testing with mitsuru and koromaru agility and bonus stats but protag still moved first with no bonus stats and all are at 99 agi.
You know what's really funny. I just defeated her by clutching an extra crit after the first one didn't deal enough damage. I just spoke a little too soon. However, thank you for the guide & the fast response, I really appreciate it.@@JiggehFly
You can actually cheese her easier. Merciless runs you make a goemon and use king and i when she is on surt. Should do between 8-9k. Then you just reflect as normal and Armageddon
How did you make the pixie? I tried to fuse for her, but she only has one skill inheritance slot. Did you use skill cards? I can't find any record online on how to get the repel skill cards
You can get the repel skill cards for strike, slash and pierce from shuffle time Swords. You'll need to activate arcana burst to unlock the higher tier skill cards. Also, these skill cards are only obtainable from the last block of Tartarus in the true ending route. For the complete list of skills you can also look up the complete list made by aqiu384 on github.
Sorry first few seconds in but I gotta ask: Are you Filipino? Secondly that’s freakin’ wild amazing run! FINISH HER. 🎉🎉. Bro came in his pajamas and ATE 😂😂
Yep, any persona can fill in for Pixie here. Turn 3, you want to use Rakunda (use the persona skill, don't use items to debuff defense) since this will allow you to have full theurgy to Armageddon on turn 4.
does this work on hard the same way, or does it fuck it up due to her dealing less dmg with the repel, or is it the same because we also deal more dmg?
Hmm haven't tried on hard but should be more or less the same. Definitely easier to do the first check for 7k+ damage. Just make sure you end phase 2 with reflect to skip
I'll be honest, I had around 6 hours of footage total (wasn't counting the number of attempts) until I finally got the run. It's all about luck tho so yeah just pray the stars align if you wanna attempt this
Never mind, I just learned getting a Crit charges theogony faster and I just beat her .... Well this is awkward (I'm not doing this strat specific, but I did do the phase 3 skip)
Its from shuffle time swords. You need arcana burst and shuffle time from shadows on floor 250+. This can also only be done on the final day of the true ending route if i'm not mistaken.
@@JiggehFly I know but if you can beat her in 4 turns can you beat her in two with full party. Everyone with endure and enduring soul? For example if you skip first phase with scarlet havoc does she cast rakunda and charge or goes straight for megidoloan?
@@pawep2966 Yeah, even if you did that she will still always cast Rakunda and mind charge before using her first megidolaon. Remember, this only happens in phase 2 above 10k HP. If you knock her down to below 10k on turn one with damage then you won't get to do the diarahan skip. So basically if you want this done faster you're probably going to have to 1 shot her.
A lot of people have had the same issue, just keep trying, its definitely possible. Probably one of the hardest checks to clear if you're trying to do this
@@JiggehFly Thanks! I have been stuck in that part for quite a while because either I enter her third phase or I try not to and not get close to 10,000.
All the skills in these builds have skill cards for them if I'm not mistaken. Only the driver skills (slash and strike driver) are inherent to Cendrillon and Johanna.
I think she was still pretty decent challenge if you aren't familiar with the boss fight yet. Pretty sure majority of people who aren't probably had to look up a guide to defeat her. Once you know the mechanics and attack pattern the fight becomes way more manageable.
Okay so yes but no. I like that they dumbed her down a bit because the original required way more prep because of how bad random fusion results are and that she wouldn’t even let you block status ailments in the original. I fused an Orpheus Telos for 8 hours to get the skills I wanted, and because skill cards weren’t a thing, I blocked rage. Only thing I nulled. Got instantly megidolaoned. I said fuck this I’m not spending another 8 hours fusing this and moves on to other games. So I’m finally glad I got to actually pseudo beat her in this version of the game. The QOL and being able to block status ailments is a blessing. I like a boss to be hard but not annoyingly so like P3 Elizabeth was.
@@InfinityZeroEXDemi-Fiend may be more annoying on DDS and SMTV but at least you can manage which skills to choose. Not sure about Imagine though. (There's a Demi-Fiend boss fight in SMT imagine.)
@@ryanp7546 all SMT bosses are annoying, but for the most part they are still more fair then Elizabeth because they don’t restrict your access to your full party.

Been meaning to get around to it, but my 3DS that I’ve had for awhile no longer holds a charge.

Nope. You can do this in a NG playthrough. You just have to keep doing her requests. She'll eventually ask you to defeat the reaper and after that she'll challenge you herself.
Pretty much same as the builds I've shown if you're using DLC. Without DLC will just take an additional turn because of significantly less damage. Also depends on the difficulty. Fastest ive seen: Peaceful - 2 turns, 1hit kill (Rakunda Scarlet Havoc) Merciless - 4 turns with DLC and 5 without.
Since Elizabeth has 20k total HP, Armageddon won't be enough to take her down from the get go. Also if you do Armageddon and she survives, she'll start spamming diarahan to flex on you and kill you with Megidolaon.
