In the later stages of Tartarus, you’ll meet a rare shadow called Precious Hand. These Persona 3 Reload enemies are distinguished by their gold appearance and appear on your minimap as a red dot with a gold border. Defeating one nets you lots of experience and gold, but to beat them, you need to know their weakness.

What is Precious Hand’s weakness in Persona 3 Reload?

Persona 3 Reload’s Precious Hand’s weakness is Dark elemental damage. The best teammate to have in your party that deals Dark damage is Koromaru. This robodog pal specializes in Dark attacks, and has the Eiha spell, and even wields insta-kill abilities that should make any fight with a Precious Hand easier.

Tip: Your protagonist can be equipped with Dark attacks as well!

Since you won’t have Koromaru join your party until August, it’s also worth having Dark elemental attacks on your protagonist by equipping a Persona that knows such moves.

Precious Hands have a very small chance of spawning, so you have to get lucky to find one. Just like the previous iterations—Wealth Hands and Treasure Handsthese shadows run away if you don’t kill them quickly. This can be a bit of pain, as not only are they quite fast, but they also dodge most of your attacks due to their high evasiveness. However, you’re always sure to leave with a handsome reward if you manage to take them down.
