Persona 5/Unused Enemies - The Cutting Room Floor (2024)

This is a sub-page of Persona 5.

Several fusion-only Personas have entries in the enemy table that go unused as they can never be encountered in any of the Palaces or Mementos. Some of the corresponding enemy entries for these Personas are of a higher or lower level to their Persona table entries, however, the resulting Persona from successfully negotiating with them will use the default level from their Persona entry. Most of these unused enemy table entries have a Fire weakness, even if the Persona they're based on doesn't have one, likely as a placeholder.

Unused Enemy Entries

Shadow of God/Metatron

Metatron is a level 89 Persona in the final game. It cannot be negotiated with, so it was likely meant to have been a miniboss. Its AI seems to be in a primitive state, so it will do nothing but use its regular attack.

Fly of the Dead/Beelzebub

Not much seems to be amiss here, except for the skill set featuring a Concentrate + heavy hitting elemental skill combo.

Brave Spear-bearer/Cu Chulainn

This version of Cu Chulainn is notably distinct from the version that is summoned by Goro Akechi, which is called Spear-wielding General. This version of Cu Chulainn can be negotiated with. In the final game, Cu Chulainn is a level 67 Persona. Two of these appear alongside Scathach in an unused formation found before the formations used for the game's minibosses.

Hero-Gathering Tyrant/Odin

Enemy Odin has Panta Rhei, a skill which his Persona table entry lacks, but could learn in Persona 4. Odin is also of a lower level to his Persona table entry, being 75 here as opposed to 82.

Mysterious Little Girl/Alice

There doesn't seem to be much noteworthy here, aside the placeholder weakness.

41	53	39	46	44	1796	4280

Prison Master/Sandalphon

There doesn't seem to be any difference between Sandalphon's enemy table entry and his Persona table entry. The prescense of Samerecarm and Amrita Shower implies either he was meant to be encountered in a group with other Shadows or he didn't make it far enough to get a unique skill set before being scrapped.

Strength	Magic	Endurance	Agility	Luck	EXP reward	Money reward
55	58	49	47	53	2066	1500

Rooftop Lion/Shiisaa

There's not much worth noting with this unused enemy, as its level is identical to its initial level. Given its position in the enemy encounter table, it was likely intended for either Madarame's Palace or Mementos. This enemy entry later ended up being used in Persona 5 Royal as an enemy in Madarame's Palace.

Bloody Goddess/Cybele

Cybele is a level 73 Persona in the final game, and her Persona table entry reflect Bless and is weak to Nuclear.

RESERVE (Flauros)

This enemy has no model and a placeholder RESERVE name, but its skills and position in the enemy table mirror Flauros. While the unused enemy entry is weak to fire, Persona Flauros blocks Fire, resists Wind and Nuclear, and is weak to Ice.

Evil Snowman/Black Frost

While Black Frost is encountered as an enemy in the final game, that variant uses a different entry in the enemy table and is named Shadow Sakoda. Black Frost is a level 67 Persona in the final game and reflects Fire and Curse, absorbs Ice and blocks Nuclear.

RESERVE (Chi You)

This enemy has no model. It seems to be mostly identical to Persona Chi You, but it has a placeholder Fire weakness and skill set are vastly different. The weakness and skill set implies it was used for testing, or the idea of having Chi You as an enemy didn't get too far before it was scrapped.

This unused enemy has no model. With the exception of Concentrate and Amrita Shower, all the skills listed are ones Atavaka can learn in Persona 4.

Captivating Dancer/Ame-no-Uzume

Ame-no-Uzume is a level 29 Persona in the final game. The enemy formations including this enemy seem to imply she was also intended to have appeared in Madarame's Palace. Like Shiisaa, this enemy entry ended up being used in Persona 5 Royal.

Shadowy Ninja/Ongyo-Ki

Ongyo-Ki is fought as an enemy in the final game, but it uses a different entry to the one used here and is named Shadow Anomaly Cleaner. This entry doesn't appear to have any skills defined, but it can still use Vicious Strike. It's also of a lower level to its entry in the Persona table, being level 69 here instead of 75.

RESERVE (Jatayu)

This enemy has no model. Jatayu's Persona entry absorbs Wind and is weak to Psy. Its enemy entry lacks skills, implying its enemy entry wasn't finished before it was scrapped.

Killer Teddy Bear/Bugs

While Bugs is fought as an enemy in the final game in the form of the mini-boss Shadow Mogami, that encounter has its own entry on the enemy encounter table. Bugs's enemy entry is of a lower level to its Persona table entry, being 44 here instead of 49.

RESERVE (Alilat)

This unused enemy has no model. All the skills this unused enemy knows are ones that Alilat can learn in Persona 4. Oddly enough, the Arcana for this enemy entry is set as???, instead of Empress.

Unused Akechi Boss Fight

Hex ID	Personality	Level	HP	SP
0E7	N/A	66	4500	80
Strength	Magic	Endurance	Agility	Luck
50	45	36	38	36

An unused boss fight with Goro Akechi exists within the game. This boss fight is mostly identical to the first phase of his boss fight in the final game, but is missing the beginning part where the player fights Cu Chulainn and Cerberus, instead going straight to the part where the player fights Akechi. Akechi is level 66, instead of 61 like in the final. The fight takes place in the area where Shido is fought instead of the boiler room, and plays the instrumental version of Rivers in the Desert instead of Blooming Villain. Akechi himself has no AI programmed, and thus will do nothing.

An interesting thing to note is that the cutscene files for confronting Akechi in Shido's Palace are located after the cutscenes for sending the calling card, implying that Akechi was originally going to be fought during the heist, instead of being jarringly placed right after the cleaner miniboss. A listing of the main Palace bosses within test.bf does not list this fight (30C), but references 30B (the first phase) as AKECHI_1 and 30D (the second phase) as AKECHI_3, implying this fight was meant to be AKECHI_2.

The pre-battle dialogue is stored separately from the final's, and is mostly identical, bar a minor change to one line.

030C.bf (early)	030B.bf (final)
I didn't expect I'd be able todefeat you with those pawns.	Of course I didn't expect youto be defeated by them.

Unused Enemy Formations

Several enemy formations exist in the game but go unused. Many of these consist of random combinations of shadows with no regards to their levels or where they are encountered in the final game.

ID number	Enemy 1	Enemy 2	Enemy 3	Enemy 4	Enemy 5	Notes
000	Orobas	Sandman	Orobas

040	Jack-o'-Lantern	Sandman	Sandman			This encounter uses battle field f252_001, which corresponds to the dungeons of Kamoshida's Palace, and early gameplay footage of the Thieves fighting this formation in Kamoshida's Palace exists. In the final game, Sandman can only be found in Futaba's Palace and Mementos.

639	Cu Chulainn	Scathach	Cu Chulainn			Grouped with the Mementos Depths/Path to the Holy Grail formations and is the second to last regular enemy formation before the miniboss formation entries. The variant of Cu Chulainn in this formation uses is the aforementioned unused enemy one that can be negotiated with. In the final game, Scathach appears in Okumura's Palace and Mementos (but not Mementos Depths), whereas Cu Chulainn is a fusion-only Persona.
646	Mandrake	Mandrake	Mandrake			Uses battle field f252_001 (Kamoshida's Palace dungeon). This battle has a unique pre-battle talk cutscene.
649	Silky	Silky				Uses battle field f251_001 (Kamoshida's Palace hall). Loading this battle will always trigger Bullet Hail and brings up an otherwise unused Bullet Hail tutorial. It seems like Bullet Hail was originally a regular battle mechanic before being changed into a confidant bonus.
650	Jack-o-Lantern	Jack-o-Lantern	Jack-o-Lantern	Jack-o-Lantern		Uses battle field f251_002 (Kamoshida's Palace tower). The battle will always load as if the player had been ambushed.
654	Koppa Tengu	Kurama Tengu	Koppa Tengu			Uses battle field f253_001 (Madarame's Palace). The version of Kurama Tengu used in this battle formation is a unique variant that cannot be negotiated with and has the skills Magarula, Assault Dive, and Hysterical Slap. This formation was later used in Persona 5 Royal as a miniboss in Madarame's Palace.

In addition to these unused enemy formations, there are several unused enemy formations numbered from 505 to 520 that contain no enemies, although it is still possible for Bullet Hail or Position Hack to activate. Since there are no enemies, the player instantly wins the battle. Some of these empty formations crash the game if loaded.
