Persona 4 - 2nd Run - Reaper of Death (First Look)

[sasarai95]

you only need some skills installed on 4-6 of your MC's personas to beat this piece of crap. You won't even have to use revival bead here even once even if you're level 70 below.

[leingodf8]

I feel like death should get its own battle music in this... the regular doesn't really capture the feel of it

[alkim345]

dude when the reaper came around you freakin pissed your pants because you knew if you didn't find the stairs or got out of there fast you were going to die, but after you get helel and satan your just what ever

[nicosisX]

ia it possible to beat the deaht? if it is, what is the minimun level? 99?

[Keihzaru]

@nicosisX nah, minimum level to beat Death is like 65-75 , you don't even need the bigger Personas, in P3 you only needed Take Mikazuchi and Thor and waiting for the dumb AI to cooperate with you, here you only need to use your party competently.

[nicosisX]

@Keihzaru yep i know i already beated the crap out of him (but at level 94) to test mi izanagi no okami, it was easy

[VanSensei]

Death was feeling horny so he came to a strip joint. Huh.

[ryanfireman1142]

@VanSensei hell even death wants some

[megamanx1291]

`Wow that battle music is sexy

[SOMEGUYONU2B]

You have more videos than Chugga... CANNOT COMPUTE ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!

[vilkku3]

At 2:09 I hear that Rise says. Blaa Blaa Senpai. Have Fajita :O

[joanxyla]

can i ask if if your first play through you got a bad ending does that mean it doesn't count???...because when i played my second playthrough i can't find the grim reaper:(

[brenopacheco2009]

Come on, you asked for death! You could've revived your partners and you didn't !!!!!!!

[Chef033]

UUGGGH RISE SHUT THE FUCK UP

[12rikku]

u just asked for it at the end

[ginzen2]

I like how the music says "Sorry" before the battle starts.



[gundam00lover4eva]

in Persona 3, i managed to beat the reaper before it used megidoalon, however, in Persona 4, it was a different story. and is it just me, or is Rise's voice in Japanese really annoying >.>

[YuukiYumex3]

Persona 3 tip : bring your friends, they make good decoys :D

[ein298]

i meat death in P3 at level 78 and i owned him until he used megidolan then i ran

[Jugador96]

p3, first encounter with death was on the 9th floor. As soon as I got to the 9th floor the first thing I heard was "I sense Death."

Me: O_O shit

Yukari didn't make it. She was the only one that got caught by Death all the time while I run away :)

[X111ESILENTX111]

I was playing persona 3 portable today and i never played the ps2 version. I was walking around and heard chains then i see death coming and im like wtf is that and my friends thats death you're going to get raped and i told him maybe i have a chance. Died from the first attack :(

[bbiidoublezy]

Rofl, only three members, both of which look like they are very weak compared to the main character. Your screwed.

[amerith20]

omg theres a fucking repaer in this shit too!? I used to start panicing when i used to hear those damn chains and now its in a chest. oh great im so gonna die

[fr801]

@amerith20 well at least u know where is death since the chest says :"will u really open it?" stupid reaper!

[FirestormSurtr]

I didn`t know Death likes to visit strip clubs. He seems to have a fetish for small spaces and sweaty, dying MCs.

[ElSalHaddin]

i have the game 4 times finich its easy

[chastity2221]

@ElSalHaddin lol

[chastity2221]

i beat the game two times!

[xyzero9576]

@chastity2221 oh yea i beat da game 0 times!

[MoonlightintheWindow]

Wtf??? Death went down to lvl 85!? And his health went from 4444 down to 999!?

No wonder i don't want this one... that one ''Ultimate girl'' is BS to Elizabeth.

[KitsuStef]

@MoonlightintheWindow All bosses have 999 health when it's more than three digits. A single one of those charged attacks he used was about 999 damage.

[PaulusAlone]

Man, when Death showed up in Persona 3 and Fuka would say she felt Death was near -then you heard his chains clanking and rattling - I used to get sweaty palms for real ! God's I hated that ! O_O

[hitsugayahinamori]

Lol My heart would start pounding fast when I heard death making those weird noises and rattlings XDDD

[mayuraxloki]

ah i think it's when you do arcana chance and have the TOWER in its REVERSED POSITION... duh... hate it -.-'''

[Hyde0610]

who is the persona in the minute 2:00, whats the name of this atack?

[JonathanYD]

Yoshitsune, Hassau Tobi

[Redpug987]

When you beat him you get the most powerful weapons in the game...

[AzureRolly]

lucky for me i never encounter that ^^ i was always have alertness skill xD

[MiawGuN12]

Well duh~ In persona 4 there's no Armageddon and Infinity...

So... It's make us more difficult.. to defeat the reaper..

[lilgrathia]

why did they make it game over if the main character dies same with persona 3

[EshtarWind]

Since if you lost your leader, it's pretty much a game over for the whole squad.

[mattmattmattm]

exactly, while the other characters might be could fighters, they would all be screwed if they lost their ringer Souji.

[Jacobi12345678]

I only beat him once on my second play through.

[698qwerty]

The only time I actually encountered the Reaper, I lost. I was only level 25.

[mattmattmattm]

thats gotta suck, since i've heard the prefered level is like 70+, although the reaper encounter is random, but its supposedly easier to find on the final dungeon of the normal ending run.

[kuchingmonkey]

How does the box which contains reaper look like. i din find any reaper in 2nd playthrough.. so sad

[acetek2]

lol anyone tried using satan with armeggedon on him lol?

[kuchingmonkey]

Yup Helel + Satan = Armageddon and in the end Victory Cry another full HP + SP.. Armageddon is a spam skill which kill almost everything except elizabeth

[iciiciban]

I got a question...I just realized that on my second run. All my s.link is bak too 1. I thought it gets passed down to the new game? Then how am i suppose to max out everyones s.link in time?

anyone know?

[XSilentHeroX]

It's supposed to be like that

Trust me, you can max out all your slinks in one playthrough, you just need to manage your time very accurately a FAQ says even if you finish all s links, you'll still have an extra month

[F0rteSP]

If you include the time for getting the stats or not?

[jakoblangley]

Im about to buy this one and I have a question, can you change the ingame battle song in the settings?

[escopeteroce]

No, but the songs are pretty good in most of the levels. They aren't as boring as in tartarus.

[rackslide]

At persona 3 when fuuka seys I sense death for the first time I ignored it. But then i heard chains clanging and it sent me chills like soting was wrong and before i knew it i was forced in a battle ive never been.

[FenrirWeapon]

i tried this at level 15, i had ultimate helel so i thought it would be easy...i got owned in his first attack

[shinobixa2]

Listen guys death is the second strongest boss in the game! He is a lv 85 boss. His can null light and darkness.

[audiserverhaseo]

master LL you beat me again

[meganerdz]

that move at 1:51, does it like instant kill?

[Astaroth6000]

Yeah. I believe its a hama skill. Hama is an instant kill spell.

[Harimakum]

yup,and the chance is quite high too,just that many monsters have the null or reflect for it..

[MGpictures]

Man i have nightmares when i see that thing in p3 (first meeting was when level 20) When fuuka says I SENSE DEATH , man i run like crazy to the stairs

[Astaroth6000]

Did you notice how sometimes in P3, youre on a floor for like 15 seconds and then fuuka says I sense Death? that always pissed me off.

[KeiChanPapu]

I would scream and stand from where I was sitting and quickly run my character to the stairs. ¬¬

[Astaroth6000]

i'm sure everyone would.

[xihakuix]

i think that happens more often on the smaller floors lol

[Astaroth6000]

yeah I know. There was like this tiny floor. 5 seconds, BE CAREFUL! I SENSE DEATH! I was all like OH SHI- and making a mad dash for the stairs. Man reaper is so freaky. A creature with chains, dual guns and a torn blood soaked robe. With a deformated face on the side of his head. *shivers*

[MGpictures]

Interesting, in Persona 3 and 4 you die in stupid ways, Example: You are a owning a bunch of ridiculous shadows then one of them use hama or Mudo and you FUCKIN' DIE ! THE REST OF THE PARTY CAN FUCKIN REVIVE YOU OR SOMETHIN BUT YOU FUCKIN DIE AND ITS THE END , after you die, appears a bunch of strange words, damn!

[Hakuman]

Yeah I know, I play on easy and when i did for persona 4 this is what happeneds, i had 8 plume of dusks and this my weakness was bufu so it uses bufudyne on me and kills me, then i get back up, it kills me, i get back up, it got rid of all but one of plume of dusks until i dodged...easy is still hard people...

[FirestormSurtr]

@Astaroth6000

Ya think so? Try facing him when you`re 11 years old, like I did. It`s unforgettable.

[Astaroth6000]

@FirestormSurtr

Umm ok what are you doing playing something rated M 17 at the age of 11. Then again, it IS persona.

[FirestormSurtr]

@Astaroth6000

Well, I don`t really think it... uhhh.... how to say this....`deserves` its M rating. There`s nothing in the game that makes it that way. except maybe the Reaper, alhough that isn`t M-ish either.

[Astaroth6000]

@FirestormSurtr

I actually agree with you. I guess P3 could make the M rating but P4 seemed to be at Teen at the most. I mean, i don't see what's so M rated running around in a castle fighting cartoon like shadows and some weird teddy bear yelling at you. I think the M rating comes from the strong language and some of the themes like the strip club or gay bath house <_<

[FirestormSurtr]

@Astaroth6000

It seems to me that the ESRB thinks kids can`t handle that stuff.

I mean, I don`t think P3 deserves its M rating either. The Evoker isn`t a gun, it`s an Evoker, people! I actually prefer the P3 summoning method to P4`s card crushing.

[Gigyas142]

OMG okay i was like LEVEL 6 when I was trying to get a certain persona from shuffles, then Mitsuru (yes it was that early) says "I sense death blah blah" and see a red dot on the map spawn and start moving toward me. I'm like "O ****!!!" I run for the stairs and he was like almost right behind me I made it just in time o_o;;

[Dezastico]

you know, even if he catches you, you can always successfully run from the battle since your character gets a turn before the reaper does

[fr801]

@MGpictures yeah me too xD

[joanxyla]

@MGpictures hahaha were the same:) ...well not really my first attempt was the stupidest thing a person can do face death even if your level is below 20-_-....haa when i saw him i said cool monster and after him killing me...it was damn monster....

[KaiserZephyr]

Death looks way more badass then in P3!

[Lonewulf321]

It looks the same. =P

[Francis77727]

hey just curious but what is 8-ship-hop and what does it do?

[Lonewulf321]

Hits the enemies for Phys dmg 8x.

[Francis77727]

oh thank you

[espeonofgrace]

thats the same guy from P3

[SilverElement90]

The Reaper, again? XD In Persona 4 XD I had lot's of problems with him in P3, I hope not to meet him in P4 XD

[Harimakum]

you can choose to fight him or not,there is an option,when you open a chest in your new game plus

[jrulm07]

is there a reason you are only using three people? Or r u just that good? XD

[HuskyShinobiChouji]

Kuma's so adorable,it looks like he's dancing to the battle music X3

[Gaaralver2damax]

yay!!! Death stayed the same!

[HuskyShinobiChouji]

Gaaralver2damax - no they changed his HP cause in P3 it was 4444 but in here it's 999 now

[Gaaralver2damax]

no he looks the same! I don't really care about his stats. He kept his cheap spells!

[123anime321]

Actually it says 999 but it's really is 4444. Cuz MasterLL's 8 ship hop did close to 1000 dmg. Not only one but he did two of them and the Reaper's health was almost down to half.

[wiiboychris]

That reaper looks like Darkrai in some ways. :P

[DarkAndersonEX]

AN ALMIGHTY ATTACK BLOCKED?! What Persona is that?! But you dare defy my man Death?

[HuskyShinobiChouji]

DarkAndersonEX - nah Reaper's Almighty attack was avoided,notice the "miss"

[DarkAndersonEX]

Yes, I saw it again & I sort of got stupid there... *face palm at self stupidity*

[Lynsiel]

It's not the Persona's ability I think. Watch carefully, the MC luckily dodged the Almighty skill.

[Myth3842]

This kind off battle music doesnt make the reaper kinda um...intimidating. Makes me want to dance instead...

[worderr]

u got that right :D anyway didn't anyone noticed that this game is a bit colorful...

[Myth3842]

Yeah, I mean why yellow? That's like the brightest color ever, man, my eyes are going to be all stingy and stuff when I play this at night.

[worderr]

just because of this i wont be able to play this at night cu it will make my room bright :/

[Myth3842]

Well, night is the only time I can actually play games since I get so distracted by people during the day.

[Myth3842]

Well, night is the only time I can get peace to play games, I get so distracted by people, telephones, door bell, or whatever.

[shannonsp2]

the game is going retro after persona 3's modern guy...kinda sucks but I have'nt played it so I'll have to shut up

[pronetocrash2]

Not to mention that your fighting him in a place that resembles a disco LOL

[ExplodingOdin]

I think the Reaper just wanted to dance.

[giahungphan]

why you have 3 members in your party?

[face12345678999994]

I have two things to point out...

1. If you've ever played earthbound..this new guy looks too friggen close to jeff with that haircut and those glasses.

2. Monsters in a box are nothing new..Let's all take a trip back to Narche in the final fantasy universe shall we? It's been around forever.

[Zeno1217]

Lol, he does look alot like Jeff. Earthbound is a crazy game lol!

[Pokeduns]

How about Reaper in a Box then? lol

[mior1]

hahaha pls don't pk death and you lose hahahaha....i think you really pass kick death...

[sora4126]

What's that amazing rape attack called? That red one that does a lot of hits and not too weak of hits either.

[FenrirWeapon]

its called 8-ship hop or something

[Astaroth6000]

So this is just a Monster in a box? Then does that mean that the reaper doesnt appear when youve been somewhere too long?

[Ravendov]

Umm... Just informing the guys commenting who seem to be thinking that the spell that killed the MC was Megidoloan... it was really only Megidola.

[Jedimasternate4]

wow, the musics soooo much different then it was in p3, it sounds more happy here, and in p3 it sounds so upbeat and gloomyish

[swordfish1390]

so, can you like change what they are wearing. i noticed in some other p4 vids that they were wearing something different. if so, that kicks some major ass!

[bleach200]

No you can't, they change it automaticly depend on what season they are at. They basically has different uniform for different school season.

[swordfish1390]

lol, i know, i have the game, and i beat it twice, lol, but thanks anyways! ^^

[gadumong]

dude what was that skill u used on the reaper ... it looks awesome lol

[dethkruzer]

so the reaper appears in both persona 3 & 4

[NathanWubs]

Do not forget that he also appears in 1 and 2.

[Gupppo]

It's so boring how the main character summons his Persona, I really prefered when they shot themselves...

...not to sound emo. Just pointing that out. But still, I don't like how he summons this time. Everyone else, meh.

[DotHackLegend]

i know i might get marked as spam for this but i think kuma looks gay as hell and his english voice will be horrible and sound sound something like meowth from pokemon ... i love persona but im just sayin'....

[originaldatagate]

I too, share your concerns

[Yuuraki]

Yeah, I'm a little worried about what voice they're going to give Kuma.

[Lonewulf321]

Kuma(Teddie)'s voice has been revealed.

[Yuuraki]

And does it sound okay?

[Lonewulf321]

I think its decent. He sounds kinda nerdy, but it fits IMO. check out the Atlus USA youtube cahnnel.

[iceninja2]

so this is what the reaper of death looks like.

[JazzyJames019]

I just noticed that in this 1 you can control your ppl now i guess thts better but cant you put it the p3 way? and wha else is new in this one.

[topdog2007]

i kind of miss let them do there own moves as ai that save the problem of picking moves fore them

[bleach200]

You can still let it do the same as it did in P3. It just that control them make the game much more easier at least for me.

[topdog2007]

never new that

[bleach200]

Basically, that's is default meaning that when you first get a character they are being control by AI unless you change it. The AI has lesser command than it did in P3 but it will fell like P3, I think. I didn't try it yet because I like to control my character.

[topdog2007]

they saying there making p3 for the psp now and they say they going to allow you control the ai now

[bleach200]

It doesn't matter to me at all. I mean, I am a fan of P3 but I'm not going to let them milk more money out of me like that.

[topdog2007]

i think its cool i mean at least the ai won't get it self killed like it did last time jupie got him self killed when nxy did his moonless wings what ever you call it and attack i thinking what a idiot lol

[bleach200]

You mean Stupei. I hate that guy, I don't even use him after I got new Character to play.

[topdog2007]

i used agis yurkai and jupie and main to beat nxy i uses of used the others

[nejiharuno]

Man. I hated Nyx, I think I was underleveled. Then I adopted to having Akihiko in using Debuffs on Nyx, just to for it waste a turn removing them. I forgot how many times I redo the fight, either because either the MC, Yukari, Mitsuru, or Akihiko heal Nyx while charmed... Wait... I think they removed charm in P4. ._. I never came across that status. I got to say, I love an enraged Akihiko now. xD

[topdog2007]

yeah nxy a bitch hard as hell to beat but i beat him with mc yuraki agis junpie mc using loki yuraki healing agis casting buffs same with mc casting mutch buffs as posibel and junpai attacking

[nejiharuno]

@bleach200 Female MC, changes to the story, going to Inaba as the Female, Male version of Elizabeth for the female, possible to save Shinji, control the AI. Either way, Persona is series is being milked besides the rest of the other Shin Megami games... Unless you don't want anymore Persona games here...

[eldorado112]

if you want a new smt game than you should be more than thankful cause its going to make money for a new smt game

[meirus]

Persona 4's game over isn't a good as persona 3.

[JazzyJames019]

buts its basically the same thing :/

[meirus]

It actually isn't. P3 had that sad music at the end. P4 just does the beginning music straight from the velvet room.

[EmoSinK]

i can't watch these videos of persona 4 its gonna ruin it for me so meh but you guys seem like you understand japanese so your lucky. but yeah cant wait to 12/09/2008

[GO321]

aw man tha musta sucked full healthe and WAM u got pwned

if only the reaper was a persona

[soulskey]

Kuma looks so cute at 1:16...

[kucinglaper]

At least The Reaper didn't spamming Megidolaon every single turn.... Like the first time I fought him (and win! :D)

[bleach200]

If he mind charge then it's over but luckily he only doing it once at the beginning.

[DragonLS]

Damn, Megidolaon is powerful...

[bucchakei]

damn hassoblahblah doesn't do butt even when you charge it

I really wish I got randomizer on yoshitsune the first time around...but you have to wait until fucking christmas eve haha so I settled for arms master

[NekoR7]

Its a trap best concept in game reaper in a chest

[PharosP3]

Lmao, the reaper is your reward , cool!

[the13tharcana]

Don't forget the Jotun of Grief, or anyone you've fought. Infuriate + Megidolaon should still equal great damage. All bosses have tactics, and if they work them, they can work for you too.

P.S. Try to find a Persona(s) with Life Drain. It's Dia AND an attack.

[Dante0397]

haha the reaper always kill me with that tactic, weak point of my allies, mudoon 2 or 3 times, and finally, megidolaon

[XLightThief]

Its.. Its.. ITS...!! Reaper in a chest! Wonderful concept lol.

That 8-Ship-Hop move is awesome.

[RhenCarbine]

There you go, the lyrics just shouting out the world Soul as yours just leaves your body. great ending with that familiar bastard, Megidolaon :)

[gman375]

Which move did you replace for that insane 8 hit move? =D

[MasterLL]

Forgot, I think it was Vorpal Blade.. whatever skill it was, I never used it lol.

[bajaynyangkut]

bajaynyangkut says:

P3's Reaper: Ha! Easy!

P4's Reaper: NO PLEASE DONT KILL ME xD

Maybe it's because you're low leveled plus you are playing on Expert Mode O_O

[silvermoonarisato]

I.... I.... AGREE O_O

[cyfr241]

lol Kuma's eyes are still open when he got knocked out at 1:47

[Kevassa02]

Of course, it is a custom XD

And I think the portraits dont close the eyes when killed, might be wrong...

[123anime321]

I'm assuming this one has the same 4444 HP as in P3? Good luck on you're next try..

[FeralFoxDemon]

so LL from your expirence, would you say that the reaper is harder in this game or in p3? he was fairly easy in p3 but looks like a huge pain in p4

[MasterLL]

I can't say until I get high enough to fight it.

BUT from what I can see so far, P3 Reaper is probably easier because you can abuse the "Down" status (make Reaper waste its turn) and also Armageddon Mix Raid ability.

P4 Reaper, only tactic I can see that is comparable to P3's tactics is the 8-Ship-Hop.

[FeralFoxDemon]

ah i see. Lol well i never knew about the armageddon mix raid ability when i first fought the reaper lol. In any case, good luck LL looks like you might need it in this one lol

[soulskey]

The shock status has been removed???

[bleach200]

Make sure you don't all block or have all of your weakness block. That's what I did and he spam fricking megiloan-la on me all the time. Basically no magic mirror as well. It's best if he goes for one of your char then all. trust me I die six seven time already but I mangade to killed him 11 time. After getting all of the weapons you get the best armor from him. Godly Robe has +10 to all stas and if you're lucky you get the best acc. from him as well as a super rare dropped.

[dl2agon]

Anyone notice how the skulls over the character portraits are smiling skulls?

[NeroMadness]

Meh, they don't look like they're smiling to me. That shape is what your skull looks like normally isn' it? xD

[TheRougeStallion]

well, at least no one can spam Armageddon in this one ^_^ now they actually have to work for it. And the really big disadvantage is that you don't start the new game with what level you were at when you beat the game. So you can't really beat him until much later in the game.

[Lonewulf321]

I thought they would use a new Monster... oh well...

[ShadowBaofu]

That IS P3's Reaper! Pair of six-shooters and all!

Quite possibly the worst "Monster-in-a-box" you can bump into in the RPG universe.

[KuinSan]

Woo! Thanks LL. I had a feeling that it would be similar to P3's Game Over, but I just had to see it.

The reaper looks harder... meep.

[XTHHaseo]

Wow wtf? lol Overpowered much?

[ReiKusanagi]

what did that game over text say?

Wow a
