The most legendary treasures from around the world often have grand histories tinged with supernatural significance. As such, it is no wonder that the mythology-blending Persona 5 draws inspiration from these rarest and most precious gems.
Treasure Demons are personas that are tied to famous artifacts of great monetary worth from around the world, though, in-game they possess a different kind of value. Treasure Demons cannot be used in battle, however, their often much-coveted skills can be inherited by fusions borne from the merging of a Treasure Demon and another persona.
History & Myth Of The Koh-I-Noor
The Koh-I-Noor is one of the largest diamonds ever found, said to have been dug up in an Indian mine, though it later became part of the British royal family's Crown Jewels. While owned by the monarch dynasty, the brilliant Koh-I-Noor ("mountain of light" in Hindi) developed a sinister reputation for bringing bad luck to men who wear it, therefore only female members of the royal family are allowed to have it upon their person.
What The Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demon Does
In Persona 5, this Treasure Demon from the Priestess Arcana set into a crown's central gem possesses every automatic dodge skill that doubles a persona's evasion to a particular element. Koh-I-Noor knows all of these passive skills innately, here's a list of them and what they do:
- Dodge Fire: Double evasion chance against Fire attacks
- Dodge Ice: Double evasion chance against Ice attacks
- Dodge Elec: Double evasion chance against Electric attacks
- Dodge Wind: Double evasion chance against Wind attacks
- Dodge Psy: Double evasion chance against Psychic attacks
- Dodge Nuke: Double evasion chance against Nuclear attacks
- Dodge Bless: Double evasion chance against Bless attacks (non-instadeath)
- Dodge Curse: Double evasion chance against Curse attacks (non-instadeath)
Where To Find The Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demon
There are 2 places that the player can search for this Treasure Demon with some success, however, these beings are meant to be rare and elusive, so it could take some time to stumble across a Koh-I-Noor, even if one is in the correct place.
Okumura's Palace
Also known as the Spaceport of Greed, this science fiction mind palace is home to Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demons, though, they do not spawn in a set place, so players will need to roam around the spaceport and hope to get a bit lucky with the game's RNG.
Path of Adyeshach
This is the sixth level of Mementos and can be visually recognized by the dark orange aura proliferating the floors composing this section of the immensely long dungeon. The Path of Adyeshach possesses 13 floors with the rest floors being the 5th and 9th ones, therefore either of those would be great places to start one's search for a Koh-I-Noor, though, like Okumura's Palace, there is no specific spot where this Treasure Demon spawns.
It is worth noting that other personas from Okumura's Palace can also be found upon the Path of Adyeshach, so if players missed capturing a persona or two from this locale, they can potentially find them here.
How To Capture The Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demon
Depending on the version of Persona 5 that one is playing, there are different ideal methods to use when trying to capture a Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demon.

In this version of the game, this Treasure Demon has no true weakness, being strong against or able to nullify attacks from every element except Almighty and Nuclear. With this in mind, use offensive skills from either of these elements to weaken this shadow, though do not take out all of its health, or it will fade away and it will become impossible to catch.

Very differently, the Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demons in the enhanced version of the game, Persona 5 Royal, are neutral to most elemental attacks and are only strong against physical offensive skills. They also come with a weakness to Gun-type damage, so players can blast away at this valuable fiend until it is weak enough to perform a Hold Up on to obtain its mask and power.
What To Do With The Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demon After Capturing It
In addition to potentially fusing the Koh-I-Noor Treasure Demon with a wide variety of other personas, the player can also utilize the Itemization mechanic within the Velvet Room to turn it into an excellent accessory.
After being placed in this sinister room's electric chair, this Treasure Demon will transform into the Koh-I-Noor Accessory, which, when equipped, will raise all of that particular character's stats by 2 full points. Furthermore, this accessory also boosts the power of non-instadeath Bless-type offensive skills, which can be useful on characters who possess persona's capable of unleashing such attacks.
