My brothers first time fighting Nyx was hillarious. He had one more hit to defeat her. Aigis and Koromaru were his only partners alive. My brother was low on health and Koromaru had half his health still. All Aigis had to do was heal him and he would have won. But, no Aigis had to be a bitch and heal the dog! Nyx does his final blow killing my brother. My brother sits in silence for a minute then screams "AIGISSSSSS!!"
So can I talk about some cool symbolism real quick? Your starting persona is Orpheus, who failed at saving his wife from Hades because he didn’t trust that she was following. Your ultimate persona is Messiah, who saves everyone through self sacrifice, showing trust in all those he sacrifices himself for. You fuse Messiah by fusing Orpheus, the failed savior, and Thanatos the God of death, and the symbolic representation of the fate of all living things. You can chose to accept your fate and you will not be able to fuse Messiah, but if you choose to go down this path of self-sacrifice you can use Messiah.
The other interesting thing is that your character doesn’t even use messiah in his final battle. Which is interesting because even the velvet room’s form for him is symbolic of ascension and transcendence. Which he essentially transcends needing to use a persona.
Another symbolism, I might add, is that Messiah's fusion of Orpheus and Thanatos can be a nod to the biblical quote "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
Creepy awesome form - check 13+ health bars - check epic battle music - check epic battle scene - check epic speech while battle - check Nyx Avatar here is an example of final boss done right
Ario Firdaus I was more surprised that the final boss in Persona 3 actively encourage the player throughout the whole battle. I never seen any boss in other video game did that before. All I hear is "You must die!" "I am invincible!" "Resistance is futile" "Die already, vermin!" or something to that effect.
Actually this was a upgrade of izanami and persona four is newer you see nix had a great concept of the arcana no you awaken your real power and just break through izanami never breaking health bar this boss actually had a amazing design and would accept his her bi fate
+machaiping While Persona 4's final boss was a huge plot twist, having two of the same entity fighting each other at once, all because of one certain someone wandering the path away from death itself, in silence, confusion, anger and denial, Nyx here purposely encourages you to give it your all. It's as if Nyx actually WANTS you to live, to prove his statements wrong, to let you do the physically impossible.
There's a little thing everyone may have missed. In one of your classes, Mr Erogawa gives a lecture about all the arcana cards, and what they mean. Nyx is almost word for word saying what Mr Erogawa said, albeit more threatening. A class lecture has now turned into a battle for your dear life. And if you paid attention to Mr Erogawas lecture, he hinted at each arcana's weakness. So if you were a good student, his lecture could help. I LOVE how a lecture you thought was going to be just filler, turns into a huge plot device
There's also the possibility of taking extra classes with him during vacation and he explains each of the Arcana's history, their origin and their meaning depending on the way they were drawn.
@@nekogamer2508 it's actually 100% possible. We've seen in some Megaten games that supporting characters are a guy named Stephen in disguise. And he is, infact, from a higher plane of existence.
To be fair, everyone playing this for the first time probably feared that Nyx would go through all of the 21 arcanas. I was personally relieved to hear Fuuka say those words even though it was kinda predictable.
"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed... Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you." Really ignites your think tank.
The Battle In a Nutshell: Nyx say some philosophical shit INEDURHALP AHHHHH AHH! I CUMMAND THEE dont mess it ALL SHALL PERISH (ATTACK BLOCKED) THE TIME HAS COME (ATTACK DOES 23 DMG)
fool magician high priestess emperor empress hierophan lovers chariot justice hermit fortune strenght hanged man and death 14 all in all nix avatar true arcana is a boss
Take a shot everytime someone mentions life or death. Take a shot everytime Nyx changes Arcana. Take a shot everytime Nyx says "All shall perish." Take a shot everytime the protagonist starts to sound like Yosuke from P4 (Actually do this one with shots of ketchup or a non-alcholic beverage because they're both voiced by Yuri Lohenthal. I might have spelt that wrong.) Take a shot everytime on Akihiko's turn because he'll never lose.
Izanagi above, you can HEAR the Yosuke/Minato in Nyx's voice! Also, there are three things you should know by now. 1) Aigis NEEDSURHALP! 2) All Shall Perish. 3) The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed.
Mr Everything 70 Her voice actress did a pretty awful job in this game, but when you listen to her in Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight, you can really tell that she’s improved as a voice actress and does a great job at giving Fuuka the emotion she lacked in P3FES. Practice makes perfect!
You know, this boss battle is the definition of a true boss battle. Nyx Avatar will forever haunt me every time I face up against another boss from a different game. The amount of tears and self-fulfilment that rushed into me after beating Nyx was indescribable. Playing on normal in my 1st playthrough of the game, my characters where a bit underlevel (Lev 73) facing Nyx (I figured it wouldnt be AS challenging as I thought) , and well, it wasnt until Nyx destoys you when it has just a few 100s left in its final arcane form, that you may actually cry. My 1st time facing Nyx, I was an hour and a half in, thinking I'm going to beat Persona 3! , and bam, Nyx destroys me. An hour and a half wasted... Just to do it again. And i did break my controller. Twice. The self-fulfillment of beating Nyx (About 5 more rematches later) really felt like facing death head on, at least in gaming terms. You could bet I was crying on my knees after the battle.
Bro Nyx fucking charmed Aigis in my first playthrough and Aigis used Diarahan when he was ALMOST DEAD. I raged man. Then I get charmed and kill Aigis and Yukari then Nyx finished me off. I wasted an hour and a half of my life. I went to sleep after that because I was so done.

Wakka: Made in Yevon I know happened to me as well only a little earlier than you seriously just say final boss otherwise spoilers without asking but I guess that is a little silly as this game IS old
@@WakkaMadeInYevon I remember seeing a video in my sidebar with a Junpei thumbnail saying something along the lines of "SEES vs. Nyx" while I was halfway through the game. I didn't know what Nyx was, though, so outside of the name spoiler, it didn't affect me much.
This the best final battle music I have ever heard at this point. It does everything right. The tension, the buildup, the chorus and piano...10/10 perfect
I'm kinda sad when I finished watching this video. You really don't find these kinds of fights in modern games nowadays. Instead, its all a matter of "cinematic" cutscenes, gameplay, and voice acting that AAA devs pump out, thinking they'll be the next Steven Spielberg. Persona 3 is amazing because it embraces itself as a video game, instead of going against it to try to mimic another medium like movies. It allow us to pursue social links not just as a gameplay mechanic to level up Personas, but as means to give the player an incentive to fight for this world. It didn't take away all of that from us, and just throw in some two minute cutscenes with a few NPCs as an excuse to fight to the end in this game. It gave us a choice to find value in living life and by doing so, we were willing to go up against Nyx even if it meant death. Fighting Nyx was epic as well, because there was so much at stake at that point and providing you didn't grind yourself to death; it was an overall challenging fight that put our skills to test. There's no amount of flashy cutscenes can ever surpass a boss fight like this, because we as players, conquered what was thought to be the impossible. Its those kind of moments that modern games lack nowadays, because they're so focused on telling over showing their story, that they fall flat on their face because of it (i.e. Metroid Other M).
Julie Way What can I say? The sixth generation of gaming was arguably the best time for gaming. Kids these days don't know what they missed out on lol.
majema007 u know, I'm 31 (and brazilian, btw, so I'm sorry for the awful english) and stoped playing videogames when was about 15 (or less, don't remember), the last one was a megadrive. Without a motive, just living a diferent moment. And after all these years, decided to get a PS2, last year (quite modern, ahn?). Started with Okami, then God of War and then Devil May Cry. Then Persona. And what an experience! Just finished The Journey, started The Answer today haha and I'm already missing the chars, really sad.
majema007 I was about to start Persona 4, don't even knew about this Nocturne. I mean, saw something about on web, but tought it was just and manga/anime spiff of or something. Well, thanks a lot (A LOT) for the tip I'll look for it. You're a lovely persona, oh, I mean, PERSON. ^_^
When I fought this boss for the first time. I really felt like I was there on the edge of the world with my friends facing death. It was unforgettable. it still gives me chills. I love this game. It really made me think about my life and what kinds of fears are holding me back from being alive
Random facts : in french Tarot death is "l'arcane sans nom" or "the arcane without name" Persona 5 uses it that's why it's the only arcana that's blank
It took me about half an hour to an hour... Maybe because I was playing on easy, so I had plumes. Though, I didn't need them. I saved all my stat cards and added it to a single persona, maxing their stats. as a result, every demon it fused with had a large stat increase
damn agree . nyx is so hard to beat esp for the first time player . i managed to beat him in my first try but hell im like 2 hours straight fighting him . the best experience , the best challenge for me . im crying after i beat him huhu . persona 4 n 5 final boss cant compare their difficulties compared to nyx
Nyx: "This outcome only delays the inevitable. The ones who will come after me will attempt to complete my plan and fail but I will be called back to finish the job. Next time, you will not have a savior or seal to hold me back."
I love the way the camera is in this fight. It focuses up on the world's biggest threat, but it also focuses on the unsettling green sky and the full moon. It signifies that you're at the end, You're almost done. You just have one more obstacle in your path: Nyx.
I loved this battle. "The Arcana is the means by which ALL is reavealed..." There was a poetic rhythm to this battle. It summed up the whole game--fighting Death masquerading under rotating Arcanas, with the Aria of Everyone's Souls in the background....
Most player's teams are almost completely dead by the end of the fight, and that's with 13 phases, he'd have to be greatly nerfed to actually be beatable with the 25(?) phases having every arcana would give him.
Years later I was finally able to beat Nyx, my younger self would be so proud, it only took about 20+ attempts with my favorite one being reaching Night Queen stage, Nyx is literally a hit or two away from death but he manages to charm Aigis, who then proceeded to heal Nyx back up to full health…the willpower it took not to break something…
I think they should have implemented dynamic levelling to this boss. So that he stays a few levels ahead of you no matter how much you grind , so as to keep the image of him being some impossible unbeatable boss. Basically this fight should have been something along the lines of a dark souls boss, mainly how powerful Nyx is supposed to be , someone who is almost impossible to defeat and yet you overcome those odds

So can I talk about some cool symbolism real quick?
Your starting persona is Orpheus, who failed at saving his wife from Hades because he didn’t trust that she was following.
Your ultimate persona is Messiah, who saves everyone through self sacrifice, showing trust in all those he sacrifices himself for.
You fuse Messiah by fusing Orpheus, the failed savior, and Thanatos the God of death, and the symbolic representation of the fate of all living things.
You can chose to accept your fate and you will not be able to fuse Messiah, but if you choose to go down this path of self-sacrifice you can use Messiah.
Or you didnt have the patience to grind up to lv 90 XD I pretended that Thanatos was my awakened Persona XD
The other interesting thing is that your character doesn’t even use messiah in his final battle. Which is interesting because even the velvet room’s form for him is symbolic of ascension and transcendence. Which he essentially transcends needing to use a persona.
My name is Messiah, which is cool
Another symbolism, I might add, is that Messiah's fusion of Orpheus and Thanatos can be a nod to the biblical quote "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
Just beat Nyx, I used Messiah (and it was an easy battle, no wonder why, I got to lvl. 90).

My 1st time facing Nyx, I was an hour and a half in, thinking I'm going to beat Persona 3! , and bam, Nyx destroys me. An hour and a half wasted... Just to do it again. And i did break my controller. Twice. The self-fulfillment of beating Nyx (About 5 more rematches later) really felt like facing death head on, at least in gaming terms. You could bet I was crying on my knees after the battle.
LOL I remember that happened to me on my first playthrough too, I honestly just gave up on life for the rest of the day XD
***** don't forget about Virtual Hydlide :)
Bro Nyx fucking charmed Aigis in my first playthrough and Aigis used Diarahan when he was ALMOST DEAD. I raged man. Then I get charmed and kill Aigis and Yukari then Nyx finished me off. I wasted an hour and a half of my life. I went to sleep after that because I was so done.

When Mitsuru says *This ends now!* I always get chills down my spine. That line delivery is one of the most satisfying things I always hear
It's also extremely funny when the attack gets reflected back at her and she gets downed xD
"This ends now!"
[fucking dies]
Mitsuru had one job at the end
Mitsuru is reliable
Y u serious?
Marin Karin?
*scrolling through my recommended vids*
*see this*
*just started FES*
Well fuck me I guess
Wakka: Made in Yevon I know happened to me as well only a little earlier than you seriously just say final boss otherwise spoilers without asking but I guess that is a little silly as this game IS old
Yeah, it has spoiler immunity, which is why I just said "fuck it" instead of getting angry.
I guess it's still fine without actual context.
I saw the fight way before buying fes so....
Ruined a teensy bit
@@WakkaMadeInYevon I remember seeing a video in my sidebar with a Junpei thumbnail saying something along the lines of "SEES vs. Nyx" while I was halfway through the game. I didn't know what Nyx was, though, so outside of the name spoiler, it didn't affect me much.
6:18 yo the way he summoned his persona and the music timing was fucking badass
Goosebumps
Believe in the heart of the cards! Literally...I mean those personas have hearts...and they are in cards
WebbedMann cool
I thought it was Yugi-oh
Imagine that youre sleeping, you wake up and suddenly you hear: "The Arcana is the means by wich all is revealed..."
Damn I wish that would happen if I were to die lol
This the best final battle music I have ever heard at this point. It does everything right. The tension, the buildup, the chorus and piano...10/10 perfect
I hope Reload make this fight even more sick than already is
Good news. It already did.
Mitsuru: shoots herself in the head
Mitsuru is focused now
Figthing this boss at level 57 was a nightmare -_-
you should be level 57 halfway through the game
how did u even survive lmfao
I hated grinding so I pretty much just pushed on. Avoided reaper and stuff. I died like 11 times to final phase.
That Mono Red Guy might I say well done to you, that's crazy
same there was 1 point where i should just kill the guy.
I gotta say. Doing this fight at only level 70 with only Thor and Titania was absolute hell.
ChristianPlaysGames Glad to see I'm not the only one who went through the final part of the game relying mostly on Thor lmao
Lol, I did it with Orpheus
chuggajr Orpheus or Orpheus Telos?
Try with Orpheus lol
I did it with elemental personas
I'm kinda sad when I finished watching this video. You really don't find these kinds of fights in modern games nowadays. Instead, its all a matter of "cinematic" cutscenes, gameplay, and voice acting that AAA devs pump out, thinking they'll be the next Steven Spielberg.
Persona 3 is amazing because it embraces itself as a video game, instead of going against it to try to mimic another medium like movies. It allow us to pursue social links not just as a gameplay mechanic to level up Personas, but as means to give the player an incentive to fight for this world. It didn't take away all of that from us, and just throw in some two minute cutscenes with a few NPCs as an excuse to fight to the end in this game. It gave us a choice to find value in living life and by doing so, we were willing to go up against Nyx even if it meant death.
Fighting Nyx was epic as well, because there was so much at stake at that point and providing you didn't grind yourself to death; it was an overall challenging fight that put our skills to test. There's no amount of flashy cutscenes can ever surpass a boss fight like this, because we as players, conquered what was thought to be the impossible. Its those kind of moments that modern games lack nowadays, because they're so focused on telling over showing their story, that they fall flat on their face because of it (i.e. Metroid Other M).
And that comment deserves a prize. "Amazing, senpai!"
Seriously, great words. Pretty mature analysis, and yet, so passional. I love you right now
Julie Way What can I say? The sixth generation of gaming was arguably the best time for gaming.
Kids these days don't know what they missed out on lol.
majema007 u know, I'm 31 (and brazilian, btw, so I'm sorry for the awful english) and stoped playing videogames when was about 15 (or less, don't remember), the last one was a megadrive. Without a motive, just living a diferent moment. And after all these years, decided to get a PS2, last year (quite modern, ahn?). Started with Okami, then God of War and then Devil May Cry. Then Persona. And what an experience! Just finished The Journey, started The Answer today haha and I'm already missing the chars, really sad.
Julie Way You should also consider checking out Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne for the PS2, it's a fantastic game.
majema007 I was about to start Persona 4, don't even knew about this Nocturne. I mean, saw something about on web, but tought it was just and manga/anime spiff of or something. Well, thanks a lot (A LOT) for the tip I'll look for it. You're a lovely persona, oh, I mean, PERSON. ^_^
I was looking for Nyx Quest but found guys who fight by....committing suicide over and over

I took a shot every time he said the "arcana is the means by rich all is revealed" and I puked at 12 min
it is only 13 times . i know you jokin but maaan lmao
Death = Nyx
Incomplete Death = Thanatos
Thanatos is the son of Nyx
The writers were symbolic af
When I fought this boss for the first time. I really felt like I was there on the edge of the world with my friends facing death. It was unforgettable. it still gives me chills. I love this game. It really made me think about my life and what kinds of fears are holding me back from being alive
Wow I didn't know Aigis was the best supporter after all this time of me playing..
I WONT MISS
*misses*
I’ve only heard her say that whenever she either missed or got a critical
HIT OR MISS
Yukari: I won't miss...! *misses Nyx* Geez that one's FAT--I uhh mean, FAST!!
Nyx: *blushes shyly and looks down* Yeah yeah, rub it in why dont ya~?
Random facts : in french Tarot death is "l'arcane sans nom" or "the arcane without name"
Persona 5 uses it that's why it's the only arcana that's blank
Me: *Beats Nyx first form*
Nyx: There is another
another one
@@dsfmdiya7500 another one
That's cool and all ... but what reveals the arcana?
By the means which all is revealed.
DarkBandit Google
flipping the card from upside down to right side up
@@mreverything7056 Hahaha lol
Social Links, duh.
The arcana is the means by which- **gets shot**
LMAOOO
Nyx: ....Oh....
23:56 God the way she says I'm sorry in that broken robot voice of hers just terrifies me..
That moment when the evoker shoots in perfect timing with the music is PURE ECSTASY 🤪🤤🥴
P3 game: 4 of us are up while reserve party members need to back up by stopping the shadows beneath
P3 movie: lol protago can solo, byee
you made this fight look so much easier than it actually is. It took me 3 hours 3 FUCKING HOURS to beat this boss!
wow 3 hours??? thats as long as yiasmat
Justin Ekholm ff XII ?
annas dzikrullah Yeah
It took me about half an hour to an hour... Maybe because I was playing on easy, so I had plumes. Though, I didn't need them. I saved all my stat cards and added it to a single persona, maxing their stats. as a result, every demon it fused with had a large stat increase
Nairat Isn't that a little overkill for someone who plays on easy?
How to kill Gods
Broke: Divine Magics
Woke: *fisticuffs*
If Nyx in P3 Reload doesn't say these lines or a variation thereof, I'm gonna be pissed.
just beat persona 5 a few days ago. nyx is still the hardest final boss ive fought in comparison to p4 and p5's.
damn agree . nyx is so hard to beat esp for the first time player . i managed to beat him in my first try but hell im like 2 hours straight fighting him . the best experience , the best challenge for me . im crying after i beat him huhu . persona 4 n 5 final boss cant compare their difficulties compared to nyx
Don’t forget how Elizabeth still is a rage monster compared to the other attendants as well
Twins in games:
Terraria: A very frustrating battle where two mech eyes want your blood
P5: Please don't use Diarhan- I spoke too soon
Nyx was easy for me and I beat it first try.
@@thehurrikain4139 maybe cus u were overlevled to oblivion
"It matters not who you are, Death awaits" Queen Elizabeth II: Those bastards lied to me
Omg HAHAHHAHAHHAHHHAHH
Nyx: "This outcome only delays the inevitable. The ones who will come after me will attempt to complete my plan and fail but I will be called back to finish the job. Next time, you will not have a savior or seal to hold me back."
I love the way the camera is in this fight. It focuses up on the world's biggest threat, but it also focuses on the unsettling green sky and the full moon. It signifies that you're at the end, You're almost done. You just have one more obstacle in your path: Nyx.
“RRRRAAAGH” “PERSONA” “THIS ENDS NOW” “Don’t mess with me”
"I NEED YOUR HELP"
At first I thought you were gonna use Soma at 19:54 and I was like: NO NOT THE SOMA.
I swear Soma is like a fucking masterball..
I mean it is the final boss, you do kinda have the right to go mad with items
I had like 15 somas when I fought NYX lol
I used My somas on the secret boss fight... Yeah we know that one.
@@ThyFloorestFloor Elizabeth or Death?

"The arcana is the means by which all is revealed" Thanks for telling me im sure i didnt know after hearing it from a mask a million times

Akihiko: Punch
Akihiko landing the last punch "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS."
I loved this battle.
"The Arcana is the means by which ALL is reavealed..." There was a poetic rhythm to this battle. It summed up the whole game--fighting Death masquerading under rotating Arcanas, with the Aria of Everyone's Souls in the background....
The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed
NO SHIT
+Alice Twilight Yet the arcana is the means by which all is revealed
didn't understand what it means :P why? (cuz I'm a Filipino)
im a filipino too =_=
Hasta la vista, baby
Imagine this boss but with ALL the arcanas, including the world or the universe.
death
Most player's teams are almost completely dead by the end of the fight, and that's with 13 phases, he'd have to be greatly nerfed to actually be beatable with the 25(?) phases having every arcana would give him.
Idk why some of them were surprised that Ryoji was Nyx Avatar, didn't he tell them that he is the usher?
I think it is because he became the Nyx Avatar, being the Appriser does not mean you fuse with Nyx.
"Happy Easter, Xbox."
Years later I was finally able to beat Nyx, my younger self would be so proud, it only took about 20+ attempts with my favorite one being reaching Night Queen stage, Nyx is literally a hit or two away from death but he manages to charm Aigis, who then proceeded to heal Nyx back up to full health…the willpower it took not to break something…
23:55 I love the noises Aigis makes whenever she gets knocked out
I think they should have implemented dynamic levelling to this boss. So that he stays a few levels ahead of you no matter how much you grind , so as to keep the image of him being some impossible unbeatable boss.
Basically this fight should have been something along the lines of a dark souls boss, mainly how powerful Nyx is supposed to be , someone who is almost impossible to defeat and yet you overcome those odds
i struggled more on Nyx than any Dark Souls boss lol
Nah this boss takes like an hour and a half if you're unprepared
Akihiko: *beats Nyx* "YOU SEE THAT SHINJI!"
By far my most beloved battle in the series.
Nyx's quotes when she switches to the death arcana gives me chills everytime
I cant stress enough how important this video was back in 2017 to my exposure to Persona 3. Thank you for your service kind sir👍👍👍
Man the guy who made those headphones never would've expected the guy who would wear will fight against the mother of death
21:30 the music timing. Dear lord that was perfect.
The arcana isn't the means by which all is revealed...
This is the perfect example of what a final boss should be
"I need your HAAALLPP!!" lol Aigis
It's REMAKE TIME BABY
Can we all take a minute to appreciate how much the boss theme fits here?
