Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X)

Hariti Boss Fight Guide (Katayama's Palace)

Add to Watchlist

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight

Hariti is a unique boss that can be found in three different locations inside Katayama's Palace in Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X). Check out the essential details, including the unique battle details for each fight, Hariti's weaknesses and resistances, as well as the best team composition here.

Hariti Boss Overview

Hariti Recommended Level

Enemy Level Lv. 72
Recommended Level Lv. 75
Safer Recommended Level Lv. 80

Hariti Boss Fight Locations

There are three locations where Hariti can be spotted in Katayama's Palace. Each one has a different ally for Hariti, and that means different mechanics for each fight.

It is highly recommended to clear Chapter 3 Phase 1 of the story, so that players can fully tour around Katayama's Palace to find the Hariti boss fights.

How to Beat Hariti

Hariti Takes Neutral Damage

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight - Hariti takes neutral damage

Hariti is one of the more unique bosses found in Katayama's Palace, in the sense that she does not have any Weaknesses or Resistances. She will take neutral damage from all elements in all three boss fights.

Hariti has High Damage Reduction

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight - Hariti with Damage Reduction

A trade-off for taking neutral damage is that Hariti seems to have natural damage reduction. How much varies between the three boss fights in the palace.

Hariti Heals Her Allies Using Her Own HP

Hariti has a habit of using a skill called Mother's Love, which heals the allies she has in the boss fight. This, however, costs a portion of her HP, and can end up killing herself mid-fight.

Defeat Hariti First

Once you notice her HP is getting low from the repeated healing of her allies, target her down immediately before others.

Specific Tips for Each Hariti Boss Fight
Agathion Jack Frost Jack-o'-Lantern

Agathion Allies

Agathion Will Keep Spawning

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight - Agathions Keep Spawning

Over the course of battle, Agathion will keep spawning. There will a be a maximum of four Agathions on the battlefield.

Keep Lowering Agathions' HP

Take advantage of the spawning Agathions, and keep lowering their HP. The lower their HP is, the more HP Hariti has to spend using Mother's Love to heal them to full.

Jack Frost Allies

Jack Frost Becomes Black Frost with Mother's Love

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight - Jack Frost becomes Black Frost

Hariti will bless Jack Frost with Mother's Love, shielding them from damage. If they survive for two turns with the buff, they transform into Black Frost, which is stronger and bulkier than a standard Jack Frost.

Kill Jack Frost Before He Transforms

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight - Jack Frost gets Mother

Try to kill Jack Frost before he gets a chance to become Black Frost. There is a good chance things can go wrong, and he hits your team harder than you would expect.

Jack-o'-Lantern Allies

Summons up to 4 Jack-o'-Lanterns

P5 Phantom X - Hariti Boss Fight - Up to 4 Jack-o

At the start of each turn, Hariti will summon up to 4 Jack-o'-Lanterns as allies in battle. She will do this at the end of her turn, and they will not stop respawning until Hariti herself is gone.

Hariti Loses Even More Health

Because of the sheer number of Jack-o'-Lanterns she summons, and their rather high HP value, healing them all using Mother's Love drastically lowers her HP faster compared to the other two boss fights.

Hariti Deals Heavy Damage when Jack-o'-Lanterns are Defeated

Be careful when hitting the Jack-o'-Lanterns with Sweepers! Defeating one will result in Hariti deal significantly heavy damage to your allies, which could cause you to lose the fight.

General Tips for Hariti

See If Your Members Are Leveled

Persona 5 Phantom X - Level Up your units

Make sure that your team is not under-leveled and under-equipped. Make sure to have your Phantom Thieves at least around the Minimum or Recommended Level for the boss fight.

Check Your Team Formation

Persona 5 Phantom X - Team

Before you head into the fight, remember to adjust your team comp properly as well as their turn order! The game will even bring you to the Team screen just before the boss fight properly begins.

Make sure to bring the right people for the job. Otherwise, the fight will be a lot harder before you realize you are using the wrong team.

Best Team Compositions

Activate Food Buffs

Persona 5 Phantom X - Food Buffs

Before you go into the fight, you could consume some of the home cooking Wonder makes in the kitchen. The food he makes will grant the team some buffs that will last for a certain number of battles. These include boss fights like in the Palace or in Mementos!
