Profile

Persona 3

Emperor Beetle appears in the Adamah Block of Tartarus, between floors 237 to 261. It may attack with Ziodyne and Akasha Arts, or negatively affect the party with Poison Mist and Marakunda. It nulls Slash and Pierce, but is weak to Strike attacks.

Persona 4 / Golden

The Emperor Beetle appears on Paths 2 and 3 of Yomotsu Hirasaka within the Midnight Channel. This Shadow is solely a Physical attacker with only a normal attack and Gigantic Fist, both of which may be powered up with Power Charge. Using Personas that Null or Repel Physical attacks can shorten the fight. It is weak to Electricity and resists Physical attacks. When defeated, it may drop Platinum Shell. Selling four Platinum Shells at the TV extension of Daidara Metalworks will unlock the Aegis Shield for Kanji Tatsumi in the shop.

In Golden, Emperor Beetle is weak to Darkness and nulls Light. It might use Physical attacks such as Black Spot, Gigantic Fist, Primal Force, and Brave Blade, though it can no longer charge its attacks. It may also slightly restore its own HP with Regenerate 3.
