Conquering Tartarus: Battle Tactics Against Elizabeth in Persona 3 Reload

In the shadowy reaches of Tartarus, there lies a challenge so formidable it eclipses all others. Elizabeth, the attendant of the Velvet Room, offers a duel that only the most adept and strategic of Persona users can hope to emerge from victorious. This guide will divulge the painstaking preparations and tactical prowess required to confront Elizabeth in "Persona 3 Reload" and secure the coveted Omnipotent Orb.

Unlocking the Ultimate Duel

To even stand a chance at battling Elizabeth, players must first prove their mettle by completing her 100 varied requests. These tasks range from pedestrian collection errands to facing the dreadful Reaper, a harbinger of doom that emerges only to those willing to linger excessively in Tartarus's foreboding halls. The final request demands the Bloody Button, a token of victory over the Reaper, marking you as a worthy adversary for Elizabeth herself.

Forging Your Aegis

Amidst the multitude of Personas at your disposal, only a few bear the potential to weather Elizabeth's onslaught. The deity-like Orpheus Telos stands unrivaled, capable of neutralizing any form of aggression. Alongside it, having Personas equipped with Enduring Soul, such as the formidable Messiah or the relentless Hell Biker, ensures a chance at survival when staring down the abyss of Elizabeth's devastating attacks.

Arming for the Apocalypse

Your arsenal should be nothing short of legendary, boasting weapons like Lucifer's Blade or the mythically powerful Excalibur alongside impregnable armor such as the Armor of Light or Eternal Plate. Accessories like the Shoes of Bane, Book of Enoch, and Divine Pillar could tilt the scales in your favor, turning the tide of this monumental conflict.

The Encounter of Eons: Elizabeth's Phases

When the echoes of your steps in the Monad Passage cease, the confrontation begins, signaling the start of a three-phase ordeal. Understand that Elizabeth will unleash her full array of Personas, each with their tactics and immunities. Recognizing and countering these will push you through the first phase, slashing her mammoth health pool from its zenith down to 13,000.

The second phase is a fierce race against time as you labor to reduce Elizabeth's hit points before she delivers a shattering Megidolaon. Having a Persona with Enduring Soul at the ready could mean the difference between a premature demise and a chance to fight on. Surviving this will tip you into the harrowing third phase, a second volley of death only survivable by the same miraculous means.

Claiming Victory Over Fate

With Elizabeth's health waning and your resources likely stretched thin, it's paramount to unleash Armageddon – the ultimate expression of Theurgy, assailing your foe with an unfathomable 9,999 damage. If your strategy is sound and your resolve unshakeable, you will stand triumphant over the Ruin’s Attendant and claim the Omnipotent Orb, a treasure that nullifies all suffering.

This grueling test is not for the faint of heart or the ill-equipped. Sharpen your Personas, fortify your gear, and steel yourself for the quintessential battle Persona 3 Reload offers. May your tactics be sound and your spirits unwavering.
