No because then you would have full persona slots and max arcana burst.

Couple of questions:

1. When's the deadline for fighting the secret boss in NG+? I'm assuming it's before the twins become Lavenza but don't recall the exact day that happens. I'm starting palace 7 now and still nowhere near capable of defeating it but I don't want to stupidly lock myself out by progressing the story too far. Which leads to...

2. Is farming the reaper the best way to fill the compendium? Others have mentioned farming right before Yaldy's fight but that'd mean I'd barely get to use any of the high level personas unless the secret boss is somehow still available that late.

You max out Strength (don't even need to do that if you already maxed it in your first playthrough), then use the mountains of cash from confusing Mementos bosses to make all the crazy Personas you like. Immunity Yoshitsune is good for the bonus boss: http://www.gameinformer.com/themes/...na-5&GroupKeys=

With this guy, the only phase that's really dangerous is the first one, where they're only throwing out phys and gun attacks. After that, they'll constantly throw poo poo at you that heals you, and you can focus on dealing enough damage that they don't get bored and end the fight prematurely.

Maybe I was doing it wrong this whole time but I only get about 70K per money-wasting-turn?

Like I spent about half an hour grinding the Nebiros boss with the MC alone and only made about 2M total, and fusing Laksmi (lv 69) when I was at lv 50-something still cost a fortune so I don't see myself having the patience for amassing enough money for Lucifer and friends, even if there are any confusable Mementos bosses still left to fight at this point in the game.

If you wanna amass levels, there should still be a couple flu days left (I think it's December 8th and 9th or something?). Remove everyone except Joker from your party, hit the Reaper, escape and re-engage if he doesn't have the flu when he spawns in. That'll get you up there incredibly quickly.

With that Yoshitsune I linked, I more or less solo'd the bonus boss at level 35 though, you don't need to have massive amounts of health and SP. Used the extra available ability slot for Debilitate so I could balance out their remaining health, since you have to kill them both on the same turn.

They also cast Divine Judgment and Demonic Decree, and they're not immune to having them reflected back at themselves. That helps a lot in keeping things even.

I assumed they would be immune to that sort of spell, can't you learn it too?

Also can you fight them on the last descent down mementos? Cuz on that day they're both outside the Velvet room instead of just the one of them (so you can be healed)

I mean my assumption was that strength = melee/gun damage, magic = any other kind of damage, agility = dodge change, endurance = beefy, and luck = crit chance. But I never saw a tutorial that actually said what they did and it's news to me that dudes throw away more money based on your luck.

Probably not. You'll still probably have a blast playing.

Also, for what it's worth, the traitor's identity is hardly the big secret of the game.
