This article is about the Shadow. For the Arcana, see Hierophant Arcana.

The Hierophant is one of two Shadows that appears during the fourth Full Moon Operation (July 7th) in Persona 3. After its defeat, Arcana Lovers is eventually fought.

Appearances[]

Details[]

The Shadow represents the reversed version of the Hierophant Arcana. The Hierophant represents education, authority, conservatism, obedience to rules and relationship with the divine; on the other hand, the Reversed version represents the misuse of the divine knowledge to manipulate others as the two crosses represents followers who are crucified. The main Hierophant itself represents a powerful religious figure, who uses his authority to control others, as shown with its signature fear-inducing move, which is known as "Prophecy of Ruin" (or "Doomsday Doctrine" in Reload), suggesting that it is using claims of horrific events to strike fear into the hearts of the party.

The Hierophant could also represent bending the rules, as the womanly figure coming out from the chair whose head is a bent cross. The rules that are being bent are vows, like a being a priest swearing celibacy and chastity or a married couple vowed to be with each other only. The seated figure is obese, likely representing indulgence, being of a sexual nature -- as represented by the fishnet wearing legs sprouting from the chair and the fact that it appeared inside a love hotel.

Persona 3 FES The Journey Full Moon Boss Hierophant Hard

Boss battle.

The Hierophant appears in a love hotel within the infamous red-light district known as the Shirakawa Boulevard. Its appearance is rather startling; an extremely obese man sits upon a small throne, the Hierophant Arcana mask on its face. Behind him, sprouting from the small throne is what appears to be a woman, entirely beige, and with a flailing head shaped like six-barred cross. On either side of the throne are figures resembling people that shake constantly. When attacking, the obese man and the beige woman laugh in synchrony. The obese figure is wearing what appears to be papal clothing with a portion of it drooping down to show the Keys of Heaven. The throne's legs are literally legs wearing leggings and red high heels. Two cross shaped figures stand at both sides.

Persona 3 Reload[]

Arcana Hierophant now uses Makouga, Doomsday Doctrine (renamed from the skill Prophecy of Ruin) and Assault Dive.
