Persona 3 Reload: Every Boss Ranked From Worst To Best

11. The Priestess

The first boss of the game, and naturally, the least interesting of the bunch.

The Priestess serves as the player's introduction to two important details. First, it shows the damage the 12 Arcana Shadows can do if left alone, as even its weakest member can seize control of a train. Secondly, the ensuing fight demonstrates the first wrinkle in the affinity system: some enemies are just not affected by some elements. These are both important lessons for the player, giving tangible context to the threat, while also hinting at the difficulty of the road ahead.

Such a shame, then, that the fight itself is just kinda meh.

This is to be expected, of course. The Priestess is the very first boss, and thus has to be the easiest boss fight in the game. It is an introduction to gameplay ideas, rather than a test of your knowledge of them. That's by no means a problem, but it does make the boss nowhere near as memorable as what comes after.
