This guide contains major spoilers for the endgame of Persona 4 Golden.
Ameno-Sagiri Battle Setup
While we normally make full party, level, and Persona recommendations in this section, the battle against Ameno-Sagiri is a bit different.
The fight with Ameno-Sagiribegins immediately after you defeat the Mastermind.
This means youwill not have time to change your party setup or Persona stockafterthe battle with Adachi.Whoever you brought with youinto the Mastermind fight at the end ofMagatsu Inabawill be in the fight with Ameno-Sagirias well.
Additionally,your team does not heal or regain SP between fights. Whatever damage Adachi did to them will carry over into the Ameno-Sagiri fight.
This does put you at aslight disadvantage, so you may want to spend the first turn healing a bit if needed.
We usedKanji, Yosuke, and Yukikoduring the fight with Adachi, but you’ll use them a bit differently with Ameno-Sagiri.
We also stick byYoshitsuneandTrumpeteras great choices for this fight.
Yoshitsunecan now safely deal the physical damage for which it’s renowned, and its signature move,Hassou Tobi, isone of the strongest physical movesin the game.
While Hassou Tobi only dealslight physical damage, it does soeight times per use. Pair this with Yoshitsune’sPower Chargeto really do some damage.
Trumpetercan help with Ameno-Sagiri’s wide swath ofstatus movesthat it uses regularly in the back half of the fight by usingDebilitateto cancel what Ameno-Sagiri does to itself, while canceling decreases for your team withHeat Riser.
Both Personasrepel electric and light magic, which renders them immune not only from the Zio magic, but also from losing half their HP to God’s Judgement.
Yoshitsunealsoblocks physicalattacks andresists fire, whileTrumpeterabsorbs ice. With every kind of magic at Ameno-Sagiri’s disposal, you never know which affinities may come in handy.

Ameno-Sagiri Battle Strategy
We mentioned it before in our guide to the first stage of this battle against Adachi, but it bears repeating thatyour team does not regain their HP or SP before the fight with Ameno-Sagiri.
It’s helpful if you can haveYukiko heal on her last turn in Adachi’s battle, buthealing with Mediarahan on her first turn herecan be just as helpful.
Yukiko’sSalvationskill can regularly be used following Ameno-Sagiri’sFoolish Whisper.Silencedteammates have theirstats cut in halfandcan’t use skills.
However, Salvation costs a whopping40SPper use, so stick to using Mediarahan unless the team has been silenced.
When the battle with Ameno-Sagiri begins, it will focus almost exclusively on dealingheavy elemental damage, so the more your team is able to block or cancel, the better.
It will occasionally spliceFoolish Whisperinto this pattern to try to stop you from striking back, but the majority of its attention seems to go to its-dyne spells.
While Ameno-Sagiri does have an impressive arsenal of attacks,it adds new attacks in stages, depending on itscurrent HP.
The biggest and arguably most unique problem comes around the halfway mark in the fight with Ameno-Sagiri in P4G, as it begins usingBewildering Fogto render itselfcompletely immune for two turns.
Sinceyou can’t deal damage to Ameno-Sagiri while Bewildering Fog is active, it’s a good time to have the teamheal and buff.
However, while cloaked in this Fog,Ameno-Sagiri can boost its stats or use Mind Chargeto make itself a real problem when the fog is lifted.
If you see Ameno-Sagiri use either of these moves while you’re unable to cancel them,have the team block when Bewildering Fog lifts, as Ameno-Sagiri will be doing a vastly-increased amount of damage with the buffs you can’t cancel.
However,Yosukeis able to useDekaja(depending on your progress through his social link) to cancel all boosts applied while Bewildering Fog was active. Have him do thisthe first turn after Bewildering Fogto get the boosts back off Ameno-Sagiri as soon as possible.
In the final segment of its health,Ameno-Sagiri follows Quake with Bewildering Fogif it successfully knocked down someone on the team.
Outside all this, the fight is straightforward.Balance healing with outputting damageto get through the fight with relative ease, and sit back as the story you knew in Persona 4 Golden so far comes to an end.
