Persona 5 Tactica

This achievement is tied to the second boss of the main campaign, here you fight against Lord Yoshiki, the cognitive form of

He rules over his titular Kingdom, defined with Meiji-era Japanese buildings and castles and similar infrastructure, complimented by a swath of surveillance cameras that define his brutal dictator personality imposing his merciless tyranny on those unhappy with his directives, delivering punishment in the form of sentences to hard labor camps he calls the "Labor of Love".

For this boss fight, it's definitely easier than the round with Marie Anto, in terms of how much damage you need to dish (not all that much, just three hits is all you need to win in fact)! The real challenge here though, is getting in attack range to make these hits, and there's only one way around: There's a brown pressable square button directly in front of him that you must get on, where you're then elevated up to level with him, and then you must use a gun attack (Persona skill and phyiscal attacks won't be available for selection), where afterwards he'll send you off the playing field and your party will be in a new play area you need to work around. You will have obstacles in the forms of not just enemies, but also security cameras where if you get in the line of sight while navigating, you'll get knocked back while spawning even more eneimes (I encountered this by accident while trying to navigate to the right side on the second map section.) Lastly, there are elevators around the maps you'll need to access to reach higher areas and be able to get to the elevator directly facing Yoshiki, taking note of other elevators that also go up or down when you land your party member on one.

For attacks, Yoshiki will have two warning shot moves that lead to attacks on his next turn (Emblem of Love-Karmic Retribution [medium size area attack, guide character out of squares marked yellow with !], Love at First Sight-Sending You My Love [attacks a party member marked by crosshairs]) and an attack to the party member closest to him (White Gem of Light).

Your battle will go in three phases, moving to a new one after reaching Yoshiki and attacking him. The first phase will have just Musketeers and Grenadiers for enemies, they won't block your path to Yoshiki, but feel free to attack to set up One More opportunities and be able to reach farther down a bit quicker, just don't waste too much time with them (as new enemies spawn after every turn).

For phase two, you will have to go around the security cameras, avoiding their line of sight (marked by yellow squares). Go to the right and get past the first camera and go to the elevator, being careful not to breach the yellow square of the second camera on the line above the first square elevator button. Get on the button to go up and the camera sight disappears. Move down to the second elevator button, but make sure no party members are on a square in the line below the button, as upon reaching ground level the sight line marked yellow will appear. You'll then need to work to the left of the map, defeat a Guarded Geisha that's directly on an elevator button, and then keep a note for other elevators that go the opposite direction when you get on a button as there's a set of three elevators behind the high platform area. Remember that you can make an elevator go up and down repeatedly by getting on and off and on again so you can get a pattern as long as you don't do an action that ends your party member's turn. Ahead of the high platform area are a set of two elevators, a large one directly behind the button that elevates you to face Yoshiki, and a smaller one on the right. The elevators relate to each other, with one going the opposite direction of the one you've pressed its button, so you'll need to bring at least one party member to stand directly in front of the larger elevator and be able to reach the button that allows for a second attack on Yoshiki.

The third and final phase will have cameras lined up along the main hallway, and making that effectively inaccessible, so you'll need to navigate at the side ends of the map, using elevators and high platforms to get around the cameras and their sightlines. Attack enemies as you wish, making sure to line up against any wall or cover area whenever possible to avoid giving opposition extra attack opportunities when you end your turn in a position out in the open. Soon you'll have a cutscene where Yoshiki taunts you on how weak you are. Go through the dialogue options as you please, and the following cutscene occurs:



As a result, the cameras in the main hallway will go down, and their sightlines for knockback and enemy spawns will disappear, which means now you can go down the main path, but there's one set of enemies directly in the way...three Guarded Geishas. So on your subsequent turn get a party member across either the left or right side of the map past the Geishas, and when you get behind them, use a GUN attack. This is important, because a gun attack on Guarded Geishas from behind will get you a One More opportunity, and that One More could make the difference of getting your navigation reach to encompass the elevator square in front of Yoshiki. Reach it, land the gun attack, and you will be victorious in this fight and unlock this achievement, but beware for something sad that will occur in the post-battle cutscenes.
