How to Beat the Steel Gigas in Persona 3 Reload

Persona 3 has tons of different enemies for players to battle throughout Tartarus and its many different areas. One of the tougher foes, who isn’t even an actual boss, is the Steel Gigas, and players will encounter it during the Arqa section of Persona 3 Reload’s Tartarus.

Persona 3 Reload Steel Gigas Weaknesses and Attacks

Players can find the Steel Gigas during the Arqa block of Tartarus, which is the second major region of the seemingly endless dungeon. Players can find this enemy type anywhere between the floors of 23 and 43, though I often find it more in the upper levels of this block as one of the glowing red formidable foes. This Shadow often comes by itself due to its high health, stats, and strength.

The level 19 Steel Gigas has a single weakness attached to it, which is the wind element. This means Garu attacks are going to be your best friend when it comes to fighting this tough foe. Better yet, it has only one resistance in the form of strike attacks, so just don’t use those and you are good to go.

Since Steel Gigas is pretty much a normal Shadow enemy in Persona 3 Reload, you can tackle it with anyone you want. This is because this powerful brawler focuses almost entirely on melee attacks, so anyone will do. That said, I prefer bringing Akihiko if possible since he has access to Zio (just don’t use his strike moves).

If you don’t have Akihiko, then you’ll want your own Persona with electric skills. I like Personas like Omoikane and Pixie, who both have access to this element. With it, all you need to do is mash Zio over and over and the Steel Gigas will be susceptible to your All-Out Attacks.

Persona 3 Reload is available right now for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
