Persona 3 Reload: Every Boss Ranked From Worst To Best
4. Takaya and Jin/The Hanged Man
The finale of the game's second act is a harrowing fight on Moonlight Bridge, first against Takaya and Jin, followed by the last and strongest Arcana Shadow: The Hanged Man.
The fight with Takaya and Jin is lumped in here with The Hanged Man, due to their fight being so easy, and the Hanged Man boss starting right after. Due to various story reasons, Takaya and Jin are almost insultingly easy if you know what you're doing. While they hit pretty hard, they also go down quickly. This is good, because you'll need all of your strength for the next fight.
The Hanged Man is the ultimate test of your party management and your knowledge of how Theurgies work. The Hanged Man can only be hit when you've eliminated the three statues holding it up. Each of the statues is weak to one of the three types of melee attacks: punching, piercing, and slashing. If you've been smart about your team layout, then these guys should be no problem.
The real test of the fight is The Hanged Man itself, as you have to do as much damage as you can before it revives the statues. Theurgy attacks will perform the task just fine, especially if you've figured out tricks to speed up the charge.
The Hanged Man is a brilliant mix of being challenging and complicated, while also being fun to fight.
