Persona 5 Strikers Dire Shadow Guide

You've already got plenty on your plate going through Persona 5 Strikers. Mysterious apps, the resurgence of the metaverse, and more requests than you can shake a mask at. If you're still looking for more to do then you can take on the different Dire Shadows that are in each of the Jails you visit along your journey.

You'll find the first Dire Shadow during the campaign, outside the church in the Sendai Jail: West Garden. If you, like me, decided to give it a quick try and promptly found yourself at the game over screen then you know that even if you run into one during your normal gameplay it's worth making a mental note and revisiting these shadows when you're feeling a bit more powerful. I ended up coming back to take on these shadows during the Post-Game, but around the time you first start getting requests for taking on the Powerful Shadows you can probably start taking on the Dire variety.
