10 Hard Video Game Bosses With Weaknesses You Utilised

5. The Reaper - Persona 5

Persona 5 is a game that improved upon its predecessor in so many ways, but also knew what to take from the likes of Persona 3 and Persona 4 Golden to make it great.

The presentation is stunning and gameplay is a refined version of what fans have come to know and love. No clearer can these factors be experienced when fighting The Reaper in the depths of grinders paradise, Mementos.

The Reaper can be found from the second area of the seemingly endless dungeon and onwards, and like other titles in which he appears, the fight is near impossible without the appropriate strategy and a lot of luck.

That is, unless players encounter the entity during Flu Season.

The season has a huge effect on the shadows that inhabit Mementos, and The Reaper is no exception. Should he be inflicted by Despair, it will take just three turns from the player before he falls down dead.

This trick no longer works in Persona 5 Royal, and players will have to bear the full force of his attacks. Royal is the far superior game, but this may very well be the biggest reason to forgo its additional content and just play the original.
