Yaldabaoth is the final boss in Persona 5 Royal. This guide will provide helpful tips and tricks for taking it down. Persona 5 Royal takes an interesting direction with its story. Throughout the majority of the game, the player is taking control of the Phantom Thieves as they work together to change the hearts of corrupt adults. They jump from Palace and Palace as they change the hearts of pedophile adults to corrupt political leaders. Although once the player reaches the depths of Mementos, the game shifts into changing the hearts of the general public. Here, players must essentially defeat the God of Control, Yaldabaoth, to save the world. Here's how players can take it down.
Yaldabaoth is technically present throughout the entire game. Igor is introduced to the player from the very beginning as the manager of the Velvet Room. He keeps a close eye on Joker's progress and his rehabilitation as the Trickster. Although, it is eventually revealed that the Igor the player interacts with throughout the game is an imposter. This leads the player deep into Mementos to change the hearts of the general public. Here, the player battles the Holy Grail before it transforms into the powerful Yaldabaoth. Here's how players can defeat the God of Control in Persona 5 Royal.
Yaldabaoth Final Boss Tips and Tricks in Persona 5 Royal
Yaldabaoth is full of surprises as it extends its arms with different types of attacks on each end. Although, the strategy is still the same as battling The Holy Grail. Make sure to buff the team's attack while lowering the defense of the boss. Use Rakunda to lower its defenses. Wail on the boss until it begins to pull out its gun. At this point, focus fire again and reset any stat buffs and debuffs when needed. The goal is to avoid having Yaldabaoth have multiple arms out at a time. Take them out as soon as possible. Next up is the bell. Alternate between attacking the Bell, the Gun, and the boss's body while closely paying attention to the team's HP. Heal when needed.
The next arm will be wielding a sword. The sword itself will make the team use more SP when using moves so focus all your attention on taking this out first. Once the sword is gone, focus on the body again. Next up is the book. A similar approach as the sword, focus fire on this as soon as it appears. Its final trick will be the Book of Commandments. During this time, set up more stat buffs and heal exclusively. Do not focus on attacking when the book is out. Now, hit Yaldabaoth with absolutely no mercy. If he summons his minions, have half the team take them out while the other half focuses on Yaldabaoth. Keep this up until the God of Control is defeated.
The player will be rewarded with the conclusion of the game. Although, if the player has unlocked the third semester, they may continue playing and exploring more of Tokyo as well as the new story content. To unlock the third semester, the player will need to max out Kasumi's Maruki's, and Akechi's confidant before a certain date. This new third semester also comes along with a new palace to explore. Persona 5 Royal is hundreds of hours long but contains so much for the player to experience.
Persona 5 Royal is available now on PS4.
