List of Persona 5 Bosses

This is a list of bosses in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.

Major Bosses[]

• Most Major bosses are immune to status conditions aside of being painted over, Bless or Curse skills, and Critical hits do not activate on them.
  • The exceptions to this are of the following. Be noted that all of these only apply to Royal:
    • Junya Bael Kaneshiro, Hitman-for Hire and Bodyguard-for-Hire (Vulnerable to all status bar Brainwash, Fear or Despair)
    • Corporobo (Vulnerable to all status save for Sleep, Fear, Brainwash and Despair)
    • Execurobo MDL-ED (Vulnerable to all status save for Panic, Sleep, Fear, Brainwash and Despair)
    • The Reaper (Can be affected by Criticals)
    • Cendrillon (Can be affected by Criticals)
    • Lavenza (Can be downed by Criticals during any HP threshold and affected by any status bar fear and despair during HP 75% - 50%, although if affected by a status condition, she will automatically recover at the start of her turn.)
• Bless or Curse affinities do not affect Expel or Death immunities on bosses; even if a boss is weak to Bless/Curse, Expel or Death skills are automatically blocked.
• If a weakness is hit on a major boss and there are no other targets that are not downed or untargetable enemy objects, the game will automatically enter Hold Up phase, although it will usually soft-lock due to no hold-up dialogue presented to them.
  • It is possible to initiate a hold up with Goro Akechi (During Shido's Palace) or Lavenza by downing them, although they will refuse all negotiation attempts.

Mid-bosses[]

• Mid-bosses usually can't be affected by status and cannot be negotiated upon at all, despite it is possible to initiate a hold-up on them.
• In Royal, the number of mid-bosses that can be affected by a status condition is increased.

Mementos[]

• Mementos targets follow the same rules as mid-bosses.
