Persona 3 Reloadadds a fair number of additional fights to Tartarus alongside returning guardians. Will-O-Wisp Raven, a sub-boss in the first half of Tartarus' Arqa block, is one such example. It feels a bit like Ruthless Ice Raven redux, but very much has its own unique spin.

It’s also a little tougher than Ruthless Ice Raven, but your arsenal of equippable Personas ought to have increased accordingly. As such, figuring out the Will-O-Wisp guardian’s weakness - and subsequently exploiting the heck out of it - will be reasonably easy. Here’s how to turn Persona 3 Reload’s second duo of vengeful bird-Shadows into dust.

At this point in the game, it might not have happened to you yet, but remember thatit’s game over if the protagonist drops in a fight. Since there are two of them to contend with, that means two attacks, often consecutively.

Their hits don’t typically do much more than half damage even to someone weak to Fire, but given the ‘One More’ system, do be careful!

Yukari is your acehere, even if the game script continues to insist it’s always Makoto. Of course, you’ve got double the good stuff going on ifMakoto has Garu. Don’t go ham with Persona fusions this early, for two key reasons - one of which is more relevant here than the other:

An important part of Persona 3 Reload’s challenge stems from the need toconsistently fuse stronger Personas while bearing in mind the key skills to carry overfrom the pair of Personas you’re fusing. If you intend to fuse much before Arqa Block Two,carry Garu forward.
