Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis strips away a lot of the social aspects of the base game and focuses much more on the dungeon crawling. SEES' main focus will be to traverse the Abyss of Time and learn its secrets, and despite the DLC's length, this will require the entire party to reach a very high level.

Golden Hands make a return in Episode Aigis but come with new affinities to keep returning experts on their toes. The second section of the Abyss Of Time is Cocytus, and the Golden Hands that appear here are known as Precious Hands; here's how to beat them.

Precious Hands Weakness In Episode Aigis

The Player Scanning A Precious Hand
  • Level - 33
  • HP - 610
  • Weakness - Fire

Precious Hands only have one elemental affinity, and that is their weakness to Fire. Luckily, players will just have gotten Junpei to join the party at the start of this section in the Abyss Of Time, and bringing him will make sure you always have someone to hit a Precious Hands' weakness. Like other Golden Hands, players will only have two rounds with their entire party to try and defeat the Shadow before it runs away.

Players can also choose to fuse a Lamia or Sati on Aigis as they both inherently learn powerful fire magic that can make taking down a Precious Hand much easier. Should you not have access to this Shadow's weakness, it is a worthwhile enemy to use multiple Theurgy abilities against to make sure you get the rare item it drops and the large sum of XP for the party.

Rewards For Defeating Precious Hands In Episode Aigis

The reward for taking down a Precious Hand is a large sum of XP split between all active party members, with the exact amount determined by a calculation comparing the party member and Shadow's level. Overall, it will be the highest sum of XP players can get in this section of the Abyss Of Time.

Players will also get a Worldly Coin, much like a Wealth Hand, which can be sold back at the police station in Paulownia Mall. One change from the base game is how the teleporters work, incentivizing their use greatly. Use the first teleporter you find to save your progress of defeating the Shadow, along with going to sell the coin. Upon returning to the door to this section of the Abyss Of Time, you're able to start back on that same floor, picking up right where you left off.
