How to Beat the Emperor Beetle in Persona 3 Reload
TheEmperor Beetleis a Monad Door boss found in the mid-level Tziah region of Tartarus, roughly between the 145th and 154th floors. Like many of the Beetle class of shadows, the Emperor Beetle is something of a tank, with a considerable amount of HP at its disposal. However, by exploiting its weakness with at least two party members each round, the player can leave very little room for the enemy to mount an effective combat strategy.
When fighting the Emperor Beetle, consider using the following strategies to ensure success:
