Yukiko's Castle, the first major dungeon in Persona 4 Golden, presents a gradual difficulty curve. While early floors are manageable, later encounters introduce the Magical Magus, a formidable random enemy. This guide details its weaknesses and effective strategies.

Magical Magus Weakness & Skills in Persona 4 Golden

The Magical Magus utilizes powerful fire-based attacks. Equipping fire-resistant accessories (found in golden chests within Yukiko's Castle) is crucial. These accessories also prove beneficial in the final boss battle.

When the Magical Magus begins charging, guard on your next turn. It frequently uses Agilao, a high-damage fire spell capable of incapacitating unprepared party members. While Hysterical Slap inflicts physical damage (hitting twice), Agilao poses the greater threat. It's advisable for Chie and Yosuke to focus on guarding, allowing the protagonist (who has access to light skills early in the game) to exploit the Magus's weakness.

Early-Game Persona with a Light Skill in Persona 4 Golden

Archangel, a level 11 Persona, is the optimal choice. Its innate Hama skill provides an instant-kill attack against light-weak enemies. Archangel also learns Media at level 12, a valuable healing skill for the final boss fight. It can be fused using:

• Slime (Level 2)
• Forneus (Level 6)

Hama's high hit rate and instant-kill effect make the Magical Magus a surprisingly easy target. Farming the Magical Magus is viable, provided you have sufficient SP recovery items or are willing to enter the boss fight with depleted SP.
