Well, I have never play a SMT game before so I am very new to the game.
 
I need some advice. What lvl, peronas, items etc will I need to beat yukikos castle?
 
If there is anything else i need to know please tell.
 
With lots of thanks, Yukoei.

Nothing. Just play through it and you'll pick it up as you learn. Maybe pick up a slime for red wall, but that's it.

About 10 hours. It will be good, that will be 10 hours where you're not making topics on Giant Bomb.

Not entirely sure. Maybe an hour/hour and a half.
 
Just take it slow, learn how all the mechanics work and enjoy it. The persona SLIME will give you a skill called Red Wall, which can be good against the main boss to take out Chies ice weakness. But you should fuse red wall OUT of slime and ONTO a better level persona.
 
I imagine I will be yelled at for this, for people saying BE X LEVEl, or DO WHATEVER, but I think the best advice is just to learn how it plays first, and then go through it. I only had trouble on one boss, it's kind of an easy game.

Seriously, I agree with Fallen, you don't need to have tips for the beginning of the game.  Just enjoy the experience.  Trying to beast your way through it will make it less fun for you (unless, for some reason, that's how you enjoy playing a game).

Just don't rush through the floors.  It doesn't hurt to grind in the beginning.  Other than that, it's pretty easy.

go watch the endurance run they probably did it better than most of the persona freaks around here.

Red Wall

Fallen is completely right on this one. Yukiko's Castle is really the place where you get to know the battling mechanics in a pretty safe environment and, after a little while, develop your own style for fighting. It's not a terribly difficult place as long you learn from your mistakes and are willing to experiment here and there, so just roll with it and see what's for you. Persona games, especially 3 and 4, are designed to let you do things your own way and make it just as viable as somebody else's method, something that I think a lot of overly hardcore players have forgotten on their continual quest to make them seemingly just about Trumpeter, Debilitate, and Christmas. As already stated, 4 isn't really all that hard to begin, especially at Yukiko's Castle, so just mess around and see what works for you; the game is pretty straightforward enough in its mechanics where your instinct should be enough to get you through it from start to finish.

The mid boss at Yukiko's Castle I found harder than the main boss so just be prepared.

They have luck and loads of advice helping them out (but mostly luck). That's not great advice. "

I think a lot of their successes came from the fact that they had two talking heads. They took pause to consider their situation, played it safe, and didn't rush. Even a bad bufu here and there was recoverable. 
 
When I played it for the first time I was trying to rush through it as fast as I could and subsequently I died once at most bosses. This is why they died at the Heaven boss.

The boss of Yukiko's Castle was really one of the few points in the game that gave me any real trouble.  The only real piece of advice I could give is that it would be beneficial to do at least enough grinding to the point that Chie learns Mabufu.  For me, that was a good indicator that I was at about the right level for taking the boss on.  On the other hand, I made it through the entire game without use of any of the Wall spells, though Red Wall would have been a definite benefit fighting that boss.
 
Once you get through Yukiko's Castle, you should start to feel more freedom as you grow in level and gain the ability to fuse and stock more Personas.  The game should hopefully start feeling easier at that point.

I battled Yukiko when i was lvl 23 just to be sure but people said lvl 10 was good enough for Yukiko... so i kinda went over it......... and if you got a Persona Angel in the Shuffle times. I suggest you stick with it ^_^
