Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 124

USE YOUR HEALING ITEMS

I know you're effing tired of this game and all, but skipping floors as fast as possible is going to SCREW your Ateam long term. Alittle less effort now is going to mean banging your head against the wall later.

If you like Samsara, you'll LOVE Die For Me!

You guys should pick up a persona that can reflect spells.  It'll make the Heaven boss wwaaayy easier.

Hey, I'm playing Persona 4 right now, and I'm currently at Rise's Dungeon. I can't seem to open his social link and I don't know how.
Any tips or dates? Do I need Understanding or something like that?

Ditch the "B Team". It would be too time and resource (money for equips and Fox's SP recovery) intensive to make them battleworthy.
 
Keep your Hariti. She's a very good healer in case you'll need to heal out of battle or switch her in during battle. Yukiko still doesn't have Mediarahan, so she heals less then 1/2 HP.
You're right that Kikuri-Hime has Divine Grace, and right now you'll still using it, but soon you'll be using Mediarahan exclusively, so it won't be that useful.
 
Unfortunately I foresee that you'll have to pick a floor and keep fighting dudes to level up a bit. Personally here I already had a Trumpeter, and although I think I was overleveled, you're starting to be underleveled.
However, if you did manage to kill this boss, the 1st 2 floors of the next dungeon have really easy mobs, so that would probably be the better place to get some extra exp. But if you can't kill the boss...

Dude, I SO want to see the B team in action. It ain't fair to leave Kanji and Teddie in the corner.

" This is weird, im playing Persona 3 FES and watching Persona 4............................ "

As much as I am a fan of utilizing everyone, at this point, after going so long without doing that, it would just be a big waste of time. You'd have to grind forever for Kanji and Teddie to catch up, and I doubt you'd even really use them. (Maybe Teddie when see he's a much better Ice user than Chie.)
 
I would stop switching out Chie at this point too. Even though she does kind of suck at this point in the game, the longer you avoid using her the longer it will take for her to get her good skills and actually be useful. If you want to use Naoto, either switch out a different character, or stop using Chie and keep her in.

I think it's about time to surface this again.  Thinks to @Bureksasutlijom, the original poster.
 
 

If Vinny or Jeff is reading this, I'd just like to make a suggestion:
 
I HIGHLY recommend you guys fuse Throne + Jatayu (you could have fused him this episode I believe, he was the bird guy) + White Rider. You'll need to be level 62.
 
Now, the resulting Persona won't be particularly great or anything, but I GUARANTEE your reaction would be worth it (as long as you haven't seen it before, which you might have). The episode could be awesome for that alone.

I haven't watched today's episode, but I'm just saying. Chie with Power Charge + God Hand is a game breaker. Do it up you guys. Wooooo.

Hey, me too! "

The story behind Daisoujou is pretty heavy.  I got it from this wiki: 
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Daisoujou 
 
"  These were monks who preformed self-mummification by starving themselves for about three years. At the end of these three years, they were entombed alive with just enough room to sit cross-legged. A tube was placed in the ground, leading to the tomb for air. The monk had a bell with him and everyday, someone would listen for the bell to make sure the monk was still alive. When the bell no longer ran, the air tube was removed and the tomb was completely sealed. A thousand days later, the body would be exhumed. If it was preserved, it was revered as a god."

Gotta say, this time is the only time since they fought Yukikos shadow that I'm actually worried  they'll beat the boss. I remember this upcoming boss being nasty as all hell....

They're going to bring Yukiko into the next boss fight for healing. 
 
I'm not going to spoil anything of course, just watch out for those ice spells. It's not a difficult boss but it loves to dodge a lot. Good luck... for now.

Step 1: Avoiding the Bad Ending

After a major plot point the investigation team will all be together and Yosuke will begin a series of questions addressed at the the Main Character. The last word that Yosuke will say to the MC before he starts answering will be "...Leader?" After that you must answer his following questions with the following responses. Mess up once and it's bad ending for you. 

The Responses you should give to get on the True/Good ending path are...

• First Question: Third Response
  
• Second Question: First Response 
  
• Third Question: Third Response
• Fourth Question: Second Response
• Fifth Question: Third Response
• Sixth Question: Second Response

Congratulations! You're now on the path to the True/Good Ending!

Step 2: Securing the Good Ending

A number of days after the above events, the Investigation Team will do what they do best. Investigate! You will run around Inaba Investigating the case when you will initiate another important decision point. You will find the MC with Naoto and Yosuke and you will have 3 chances to make the right decision. It shouldn't be to hard to figure it out, but if you need some help, it's on the third page.

Once you've made the right choice, CONGRATS! You've ensured the Good Ending!

Step 3: Achieving the True Ending

If you ensured the good ending and you continue through the game it will eventually jump ahead in the calendar. You will then need to go around and find each of your buddies that you maxed your social link with. leave no stone unturned. 

Once you've talked to everyone, the game will prompt you to go home. Say no! 

Now head over to Junes. The game will try to get you home again. Say no once again and get your ass the Junes!!!

Once you've done the. Huzzah! You've Started the True Ending! Have Fun!

SPOLIER FREE Jeff and Vinny!

Do NOT eff up please man!

It's amazing how even though Jeff and Vinny have made it abundantly clear that they haven't been listening to the suggestions regarding party members and other such things, people still do it. 
 
 
 Seriously, knock it off. Their Endurance Run, their decisions. That's how it's been since episode 1 and that's how it will keep on going.

Unless you do decide to level Kanji and Teddie (which I'm totally on board with), you really need to fuse that Mazionga onto something useful. Charlie's the sole lightning caster, and all you have are single spells.

" Gotta say, this time is the only time since they fought Yukikos shadow that I'm actually worried  they'll beat the boss. I remember this upcoming boss being nasty as all hell.... "

" @endaround: I know, but Chie and Naoto are still gonna lag behind by a margin if they keep switching all the time. Especially when they constantly complain that Chie starts to suck - that God's Hand isn't gonna come any faster if she keeps sitting on the side lines. "

Samsara is great for wiping out multiple enemies in one go.  It has a high SP cost, but it totally pays for itself and probably my most used spell.

Sadly enough Heaven boss is 4x weak to the element he casts. That's something to remember.

That just makes it all the more exciting...I hope it's a seriously intense fight. "

Jeff, Vinny, don't puss out on us now! Fight the boss! 
 
The fact that you guys haven't died in a while means you're way overleveled. Come on, there are save points everywhere. Why grind in order to have a cakewalk when the challenging battles are supposed to be the fun part? Who would want to watch the Detroit Lions play the Colts anyways?   
  
So grow some balls and fight some bosses already! 

Just did some youtube research, and watched some guy beat the boss with a lvl 61 party (on cpu control too) using tactics that make J&V look like Persona masters...they should be fine as they are now.

HEY GUYS I HAVE A LONG-WINDED SUGGESTION TOO HERE IT GOE

During this encounter, will Rise tell them how the boss has changed automatically, or do they need Rank 10 for that?

 @Turambar:  Well that's the last level of the game where you can get the most exp possible in the game, so of course you're going to level up fast. Though I have a hard time believing it only took 10 fights to get that high a level. At one point I had Chie in my party 10 levels lower than the rest of my characters and I brought her into the most recent dungeon, and it took her like 3 or 4 fights to even gain 1 level. A 50 level gap may get you a bunch of levels at first, but by level 60 or so those level gains would definitely start tapering off.
 
@evilpaul: It's definitely not impossible, the hardest part is really just getting past the first bad ending. Once you figure out the correct responses the rest is pretty simple.

" @JohnAsscream: It's virtually impossible to get the True Ending on the first run through the game. I'm not sure that it's 100% impossible, but you'd need to be reading a FAQ while you were playing if it can be done. I'm trying to get it on my second run through P4 (the Endurance Run inspired me to pick it up).   @ monkie89: They've seen White Rider already. Last episode I believe.@Vinny & Jeff, ARGH!!!!!! You guys dumped Makarararn (however it's spelled) literally right before a fight where it would have been ZOMG FREAKING AWESOME. "

" @gakon5:   Do you mean when that boss uses "Quad converge"?Rise will tell you whether her SL is max or not. "

Aww, now there's a number on the image.

The spell you got rid of, Makarakarn, I used that in the next boss fight and all boss fights to reflect their spells to save myself and do a lot of damage to them soooo much! xD I think you need to draw that again :)

Its always funny watching the endurance run and then reading some of the comments later about Vinny/Jeff's decisions. You can bet good money that someone somewhere always goes "OMG! What did you just do?!!" whenever they decide to get rid of a spell.
