SKILLS

- Life Drain: Drains 30 HP from one party member
- Sharp Student: Lowers chance of being struck by a Critical Hit
- Stagnant Air: Increases susceptibility to ailments
- Virus Wave: Deals Heavy Physical damage to the entire party with a chance of Poison
Amorous Snake STRATEGY
advertisem*nt
Amorous Snake will try and poison the entire party at once using a combination of Stagnant Air followed by Virus Wave. Focus on exploiting its weakness: Fire, and the fight should be a breeze.
Instead of performing an All-Out attack when its knocked down, do a second Fire attack and have everyone else use physical attacks. If you have a Persona with fire attacks, and Yukiko is in the party, cast three fire attacks. While it's down, damage will be increased. It's much more beneficial for each ally to attack instead of doing one All-Out Attack.
Shadow Rise

Rise and her Shadow are both found on Floor 11. Make sure you're all healed up with plenty of items for the battle up ahead.

Shadow Rise STRATEGY
Your Party should be around Level 33-38 (probably level 40 before Shadow Teddie) before trying to fight Shadow Rise to make things easier.
advertisem*nt
Shadow Rise always begins with Fire spells, so if you brought Chie along, have her Guard as much as necessary. A Persona with Fire resistance is optional, as Shadow Rise will use Fire Break to level the playing field.
The Boss has no Weaknesses or Resistances, so simply attack her with any powerful moves that your party specializes in. If you happen to critical hit and down it, don't use an All-Out attack. Use your team's strongest Physical and Magic Skills to deal bonus damage on the downed Rise.
About halfway through her HP bar, Shadow Rise will scan the party, and none of your attacks from here on out will connect. When this happens, you can just guard with all your party members to save time. The fight should end three turns after Supreme Insight is used.

Skills
- Ice Break: Removes resistance to Ice from one Party Member
- Mind Charge: The next Fire, Ice, Electrical, Wind, or Almighty magic attack will be 2.5 times greater in power.
- Mabufula: Inflicts Moderate Ice damage to the whole party
- Bufudyne: Inflicts Heavy Ice damage to one Party Member
- Dekaja: All Stat increases are nullified at the whole party
- Dekunda: All Stat decreases are nullified on the user
- Marakunda: Lowers Defense of the whole party
- Ultra Charge: Charges up a powerful attack. Vulnerable for one more turn.
- Nihil Hand: Severe almighty damage to the whole party and may inflict Dizzy. Can be avoided by guarding.
- Foolish Whisper: May inflict Silence to the whole party
- Heat Wave: Deals Moderate Physical damage to the whole party
- Gigantic Fist: Deals Heavy Physical damage to one Party Member
- Nullity Guidance: Heavy Almighty damage that knocks down one ally and makes them Dizzy.
Shadow Teddie Strategy
Shadow Teddie will use a Mind Charge – Mabufula combo throughout the battle. If you see him use Mind Charge, at least have Yukiko guard to withstand the damage, as she is weak to Ice. Chie should be fine here, and if you have a Persona who can resist Ice, equip them as well. Ganga, Undine and Parvati make great healing persona which resist ice and can support the team with Diarama and Mediarama. After Shadow Teddie uses Marakunda, he will mostly follow up with Heat Wave, which damage can be reduced by guarding, equipping a persona which resists physical attacks or by removing the defence reduction with Dekunda.
If any of your party members become Silenced by Foolish Whisper, use the Mouthwash item to cure them, and keep hitting with High Damage attacks. Dis makes a good persona for attacking, as it does not suffer from a weakness to Ice and it has Agidyne, which can be boosted by Mind Charge and Pyro Jack's Fire Boost. In Golden, Loa is also an alternative if you leveled the Jester Arcana strong enough.

When his HP is low enough, Shadow Teddie will begin charging up his power with Ultra Charge. This will leave him vulnerable to attacks for one turn. Once fully charged, Nihil Hand will be unleashed on the next turn. Having the whole Party use Guard will stop them from taking any damage. After it says "Shadow Teddie is Charging Up," use guard! It is not advised, but possible, to attack Shadow Teddie for ~800-900 damage, in which Teddie will lose control and will be knocked down, barring a chance for an All-Out Attack.
When his HP is lower than 25%, he will occasionally use Bufudyne, Gigantic Fist and Nullity Guidance, which deals strong almighty damage and inflicts the Dizzy Status.
Momentary Child
After clearing out the Dungeon, return to the top floor to fight a new Boss Shadow.

- Tarukaja: Increases the user's attack.
- Rebellion: Increases user's Critical Hit rate
- Herculean Strike: Medium Physical damage to the entire party
- Assault Dive: Light Physical damage on one party member
- Deathbound: Heavy Physical damage to the entire party
- Vicious Strike: Heavy Physical damage to the entire party
- Rampage: Light Physical damage to the entire party 1x to 3x
Momentary Child Strategy
Momentary Child will increase its attack at the beginning of the battle. If you noticed in the skill list, it primarily uses Physical attacks. Lower its defense and hit it with an Ice attack to knock it down. When it's down, do not use an All-Out Attack; instead, hit it with more Ice attacks and Physical attacks. The fight shouldn't be too difficult. Have your weaker characters guard whenever Momentary Child skips a turn, stating that 'Momentary Child is indignant', as it will use a heavy physical attack after the turn.
After the battle, check around the stripper pole for a new Teddie weapon:
- Bear Claw
- Effect: Counter Physical (Low odds)
- Attack: 161
- Hit: 78
