Early in your adventure through Persona 5 Royal‘s Palaces, you’ll encounter a unique enemy – a Treasure Demon. These aren’t your average Shadows. Regent, the first Treasure Demon you face, resides within a shimmering diamond and packs a powerful punch.
This guide equips you to defeat and capture Regent. We’ll break down its weaknesses – Psychic and Nuclear attacks – allowing you to exploit its vulnerabilities. We’ll also help you prevent him from escaping and ensure a smooth capture. Following these steps will give you a hefty reward and gain a powerful fusion material to strengthen your personas throughout your Persona 5 Royal journey.
Where to Find Regent in Persona 5?
Regent, the Treasure Demon, is in the Museum of Vanity at Madarame’s Palace. Once you get to the Palace, you will get into a small cutscene between Caroline and Igor; right after that, your first object is to find the Treasurer’s location. Find your way to the 2nd exhibition room in the new part of the palace.
Once you get to the treasure room, it will set up a trap for you and your team. You need to disengage the infrared laser and rescue all the members. Find the hidden buttons; for the last member, you need to use the password 07734. When you rescue Morgana, head back to the treasure room, where you will find a golden vase in the middle.
After a brief cutscene with the team, examine the vase, which will turn into a rotating diamond. Attack it one more time; it will turn into Regent.
How to defeat Regent?
Regent is a level 10 boss who resists physical and gun attacks, but you can knock him out using nuclear or psychic skills. You need to continue giving him damage until it knocks down, or you can also use Jack Frost, equipped with Frei’s skill; it will weaken Regent, and he will give up on the fight.
Most of the Treasure Demons escape right after their turn, so you don’t get a chance to hit them back. This is where you need to use a Treasure Trap Infiltration Tool to ensure that Regent doesn’t disappear.
How to capture Regent?
Once you have knocked out Regent, you can negotiate with him, and he will ask you to join.
Regent (Treasure Demon) weaknesses
Regent in Persona 5 Royal is weak against Psychic and Nuclear skills. You can also use Jack Frost with Frei’s skill. But if you’re unsure of the weakness or don’t have psychic or nuclear skills, you can switch to Morgana’s physical attacks as they have a higher chance of crit. Even if you encounter a high level treasure demon, they won’t have any weakness; this is where Morgana’s physical attacks matter.
Rewards
Defeating Regent gets you 300 XP and 5,000 Yen as a reward, along with Regent joining your party.
How to use Regent?
At the start of this guide, we said that Regent is an unusable persona, so why would you want it? Treasure Demons are useless as personas, and you cannot use them to fight other enemies. But these are useful for fusion and upgrading your different personas.
Once you have Regent at your party, you can return to Igor in the Velvet Room to fuse your Treasure Demon with the personas you use in fights. This, in turn, will upgrade your main persona and make them stronger in Persona 5 Royal.
