Stats you need + How to summon the Reaper

The Reaper is one of the hardest bosses in P4G, it took me 2-3 tries before defeating the reaper. So you will need some intense stats to have a good chance of defeating him.

PARTY LEVEL
LV 70-99

The reaper has tons of health and get you to take a good hit, so your party gonna need high SP and HP.

HOW TO SUMMON

Yukiko's castle is the easiest way to spawn the Reaper and to find it but you can go into any dungeon you want to spawn it.

You will need to open 20-21 chests, once you hear rattling chains then your in luck! When you open another chest the reaper will spawn inside the chest, you know you found the chest when Rise says these lines,

"What's this? I have a really bad feeling about this..."
"You shouldn't open that!"
"You got that, Senpai? Don't ever open that!"

When you see the option to open it press yes to start the fight.

How to get the gear you want (NOT GUARANTEED)

Please note this is not guaranteed. But might give you a high chance of getting a weapon of what you want.

HOW TO GET

With how to get the gear that you want for a certain character, you and the character you want, lets use Chie as an example make sure it's only you two.

Chie has the Moses Sandals that you get from the Reaper, with only 2 people currently fighting the Reaper you still have a chance of getting different things like Yu's weapon or gear. Due to it only being the certain amount of party members you choose make sure they are high enough of a level to fight.

This can be super helpful if trying to get a certain gear/weapon, etc for certain characters.

Extra helpful things + My strat

EXTRA HELP

After getting NG+ and defeating the Reaper to get good gear you can easily defeat Margret but she can be pretty easy once you get good gear.

One thing after defeating the Reaper is that you get an Achievement for it!

My strat

I used Chie, Yukiko, and Naoto

I used Chie for Revolution to get our stats up and Black Spot. Also to keep spamming ice/physical attacks.

I used Yukiko for tons of support with Salvation, Mediarahan and some fire attacks

While for Naoto, she was mostly used for tetrakarn Makarakarn and Tempest Slash

Ending + Thank you!!

Thank you for reading my guide as this is my first one ever. I will try to do more once I finish my second playthough as I already finished persona 4. I will try to do way more and make them more shorter but packed with information 😅 but THANK YOU!!!
