Introduction
  • Hello and welcome to the complete map & strategy guide for all Dire Shadows in Persona 5 Strikers. This guide was made in order to help with the achievement "The Most Daring of All" and features a complete map for each individual Dire Shadow, as well as tips on how to defeat them with ease. The location of each Dire Shadow has been marked with this symbol:

What are Dire Shadows?
  • Dire Shadows are very powerful shadows that are frist encountered as part of the story in the Sendai Jail. You will be warned not to engage them. From a gameplay perspective, these shadows offer a tough challenge to players who wish to experience everything in the game, but they do not give any powerful bonuses once defeated or unique items. There are a total of 8 Dire Shadows throughout the game, 1 for each Jail.


    Word of advice:
    • The Dire Shadows are very hard to defeat early game as they out-level your party the first time you encounter them. In order to have an easier time with defeating them I recommend coming back to each Jail after completing the game with the recommended party members and/or Personas.

Great guide, but really dislike the begging for awards part.

bruh, the highest level I reached was 50 in my first run.

My first run got deleted for some reason. Stupid laptop. But I'm gonna keep going.

29/09/2021 - Removed the note saying that the "Heavenly Punisher" dire shadow can only be fought after finishing the game. Thank you Uriziel & Ultimate Cookie for bringing this to my attention! :Mask4:

Heavenly Punisher appeared after sending the calling card on my first playthrough.

In a normal run you get XP and a weapon. These rewards are better in Merciless I believe.

Thanks for the guide, that was very useful. However, you're a bit wrong about the last shadow, Heavenly Punisher - you can actually find and fight him just before going to the final boss. I did that only a few minutes ago and I'm still on my first playthrough, here's the proof just in case: https://imgur.com/bIsJS0y .

I also kinda disagree about your level recommendation, since it makes them seem much more scary than they actually are. Personally, I was able to take out the first 2-3 of them at around level 40 without much problem at all.
