Persona 3 Reload: Every Boss Ranked From Worst To Best
9. The Hermit
The Hermit is the only boss you can face with Shinjiro Aragaki in the party. Even if you don't know what awaits Aragaki, if you've run Tartarus with him, then you're likely going to bring this powerhouse of a party member along with you.
Bringing Aragaki makes an already breezy fight even easier, as the boss' pattern - while not too simple - is still very easy to learn and plan for. The Hermit boss is all about team construction and buffing/debuffing, as you need to pick both teammates who can weaken the boss and strengthen the party, and ones who can deal out a lot of damage while resisting the boss's lightning element.
If you've been taking advantage of buffs and debuffs up until now, then you should have a repertoire of personas ready to fill that gap, so it's all a matter of staying alive while wearing the boss down.
The Hermit is a simple but satisfying boss, meant to act as a celebration of finally having every party member.
