Below is a list of Requests that unlocks the Reaper secret boss battle. The Metatron Request is locked in the Post-Game also so you need to clear the main story first. We recommended defeating Powerful Shadows when you already unlocked Wolf as a party member in the game.

Brilliant Dragonslayer Siegfried Strategies

Carry HP and SP Recovery Items

Before engaging the boss, bring a stock of HP and SP recovery items. These items can be bought from accessible vending machines, food stands, stores, and restaurants. You can also buy ingredients from Sophia’s Shop and other real-world stores. Then, cook these ingredients for additional HP and SP items through Joker’s Kitchen.

Joker’s Kitchen Guide

Land Debuffs

Start the battle by landing multiple debuffs on Siegfried. Debuffs can be in the form of attack power decrease (Tarunda), defense power decrease (Rakunda), and evasion/critical evasion power decrease (Sukunda). These debuffs can be accessed by Joker (from Arsene and other Personas), Mona, and Panther. Another option is by using Debilitate for an all-in-one debuff. This special debuff can be accessed by Joker (from other Personas).

Remove Enemy Buffs

Siegfried has an all-in-one buff skill similar to Heat Riser. In order to remove it, use a Dekaja debuff skill. The debuff can be accessed by Joker (from other Personas) and Queen.

Cast Buffs

Follow-up the debuffs with party members buffs. Buffs can be in the form of attack power increase (Tarukaja or Matarukaja), defense power increase (Rakukaja or Marakukaja), and evasion/critical evasion increase (Sukukaja or Masukukaja). These buffs can be accessed by Joker (from other Personas) and Queen. Another option is by using Heat Riser for an all-in-one buff. This special buff can be accessed by Joker (from other Personas).

Dodge Phys Attacks

Keep evading physical attacks like Megaton Raid and Vorpal Blade from Siegfried. Otherwise, your character or party member may end up in Dizzy status. In addition, getting susceptible to upcoming technical damage from the boss.

Cure Inflicted Ailments

If a party member got inflicted with a mental ailment such as Dizzy, make sure that you have access to a Status Recovery skill called Amrita Drop or Amrita Shower to cure it. You can also use status recovery items to remove the mental ailment if available. Status Recovery skills can be accessed by Joker (from other Personas).

Use Wind and Nuke Attacks

Siegfried is weak to Wind and Nuclear attacks which Mona, Queen, and Joker can capitalize. Continue on using elemental attacks in order to break the shields and stagger the boss. Make use of narrow range elemental skills if you’re close and wide range elemental skills if you’re far from the boss.

Capitalize on Terrain Gimmicks

Lure the boss near the motorbike and destroy it. Apart from the massive damage to Siegfried, it will also inflict a Burn status effect on the boss. This gives your more opportunities to deal technical damage.

Deal Technical Damage using Wind and Nuke Attacks

When the boss is inflicted with a status ailment such as Burn, deal technical damage by using Wind and Nuclear attacks. Switch between Joker, Mona, and Queen to avoid running out of SP.

Unleash Showtime Attacks

While engaging Siegfried, you may build up your showtime gauge. When it’s available, unleash the showtime attack against the boss. If Joker’s showtime attack is available, make sure he has the right Persona that can capitalize on the weakness of the boss. Also, there is a consumable item that will quickly boost your Showtime gauge build up so feel free to use it against the boss.
