Yukiko's Castle marks your first deep dive into the dungeons of Persona 4 Golden. Though it spans just seven floors, it's a treasure trove of learning experiences, gently introducing you to the nuances of the game and its combat mechanics.

The initial floors may not test your skills too harshly, but as you ascend, you'll encounter the formidable Magical Magus, the toughest random enemy in this dungeon. Let's break down its affinities and share some tips on how to conquer it effortlessly.

Magical Magus Weakness & Skills In Persona 4 Golden

The Magical Magus packs a punch with its skills, particularly focusing on fire damage. Your best defense is to equip fire-resistance accessories, which you can find in golden chests scattered throughout Yukiko's Castle. These aren't just useful for dealing with the Magus but can also give you an edge in the boss fight at the end, making them well worth collecting.

Keep an eye out for when the Magical Magus starts to gather magic power. That's your cue to guard on the next turn because it's likely to unleash Agilao, a powerful tier-two fire spell that can knock out an unprepared party member. Its Hysterical Slap can deliver a double hit of physical damage, but it's Agilao that you really need to watch out for. In these early encounters, only the protagonist can wield light skills, so it's wise to have Chie and Yosuke focus on guarding to stay in the fight.

Early-Game Persona With A Light Skill In Persona 4 Golden

For those looking to exploit the Magical Magus's weakness to light, Archangel is your go-to early-game Persona. It naturally comes equipped with Hama, an instant-kill light skill, and will learn Media at level 12, a crucial healing skill for the final floor's boss fight. Archangel, a level 11 Persona, can be fused using:

• Slime (Level 2)
• Forneus (Level 6)

In Persona 4 Golden, light and dark skills serve as instant-kill attacks. Hama, in particular, has a high hit rate and will instantly kill the enemy if successful, making the Magical Magus, despite its strength, an easy target. Farming these enemies can be highly beneficial, especially if you have items to replenish your SP or if you're willing to enter the boss fight with less than optimal SP levels.
