Hello everyone!
Ah... Persona. I fell in love with this series back on the PS2 when I played
"Persona 3 FES" for the first time. The series goes back further than that of
course, but it definitely had it's breakthrough by adding in the "Social Sim"
part of the game from Persona 3 onwards.
As much as I loved Persona 3 though, Persona 4 just blew me away. Persona

4 Golden on the PlayStation Vita is, hands down, the best Vita game out there
and just such an experience. I've played through it multiple times in fact as
it was one of the first Platinum Trophies that I purposely set my mind to
obtaining.
It's been FAR too long since Persona 4 Golden though, as you likely know,
but the wait is finally over, and over in style! With my adoration in hand,
how can I NOT do my best to bring you all a guide worthy of this series?
Anyway, enough rambling. I've been on a writing spree of late with so many
fantastic games coming to the PS4 this year (Resident Evil 7 and Nioh were
two guides I've done right before this one), but it's hard to deny that I've
been waiting on Persona 5 the longest.
Let's start the game...

Here you can find a TON of hints, tips and tricks that will help you get
through Persona 5 with ease. A few of these are VERY IMPORTANT, so take a
moment to check this section out!
o The purpose of this guide is to get you through the game (on NORMAL
difficulty) while focusing on a few things. If you use this guide you
can expect:
1. Completing every Confidant Rank
2. Gaining maximum stats
3. Reading every book
4. Playing through every video game
5. Help recruiting Personas
6. Detailed walkthrough of each of the game's Palaces
7. Getting Trophy Tips throughout the guide
Completion is the name of the game here. I'm very much a trophy hunter
in real life and my guides and walkthroughs often reflect that.
o The BIGGEST TIP I can give for this game is regarding Confidants (Social
Links in other games). Be SURE you have the same Persona as the person you
want to hang out with. This gives you (free) extra points and lets you rank
up faster with your Confidants.
(-VERY IMPORTANT-): This guide assumes you will always have the matching
persona when you hang out with people.
There are a couple Confidants where this doesn't matter as they rank up
automatically. You'll know who this applies to though.
o SAVE OFTEN! This should be ingrained to your gaming soul by now, of

course, but I would be remiss if I didn't remind you! Be sure to use the
game's save slots to save often and in different slots. Cycle through them
so you have multiple saves you can go back to if needed.
o For the majority of the game, make SURE you always have a book or two on
hand. You will get certain days that let you read, for free (no time is
used up), so you may as well make use of free time!
o All that said... if you follow this guide you will find that we have a
LOT of free time in November and December. It is OK to miss a thing or
two here and there. Chances are very good that you have time to make it
right by the end of the game.
o The Fortune and Temperance Confidant Abilities are perhaps the BEST in
the game. Be sure to focus on their rank up events so you can use their
abilities. Death is quite good as well for the accessories you can buy.
o Speaking of accessories, around the 3rd-4th Palace you can start to buy
SP REGEN accessories. These things are godly and will make your fighting
life SO much easier. It is highly recommended to get one as soon as you can.
o The Fortune Abilities in particular are what allow us to get through the
Confidant Ranks and Stat Upgrades so fast in this guide! Be sure to utilize
them. Also, remember the "Money Fortune" before you go to any Palace or
Mementos trip! Every bit of money helps!
o Every Sunday you can buy FRUIT JUICE that helps raise your stats (this is
in the "Underground Walkway in Shibuya"). This is expensive, but it doesn't
take up any time which makes it notable! You can combine this with the
Fortune Confidant for even better stat growth! BE SURE to visit the drink
vendor every week (or follow the guide, as I point it out every week). Also
note that the juice drink does not change unless you buy it (so be sure to
buy it to make the drinks rotate if you still need a certain stat increase!).
o Speaking of building stats in your free time, be sure to buy items for the
plant in your room! Feeding it gives you free Kindness Points and doesn't
take up any time. Follow the guide for feeding dates and where to buy the
best plant food.
o Be sure to check the WEAPON SHOP before you enter a new palace. You can
often find new upgrades and armors to buy.
o As a general rule of thumb, don't worry too much about buying gun upgrades.
Focus on weapons and armor first. Guns are best used when an enemy is weak
to gun damage and even SMALL amounts of gun damage will down those enemies,
so upgrading them is your last priority.
o Be sure to try and ambush as many enemies as you can while fighting. This
gives you a free turn and can really help out throughout the game.
o Remember that as long as you are "In Cover" enemies can't see you. You
could be in plain sight, but as long as you are crouched down and in cover,
it doesn't matter one bit (this game's stealth aspect is... rather minimal).
o Capture every Persona you can (Gotta catch 'em all!). By doing this you
can fuse and recall them later on in the Velvet room and it will help build
the number of options you have when it comes down to battle.
o This is a bit basic, but remember that MOST Personas have a weakness to
something! You can use this to knock them down and make it easy to
negotiate with them or go for an "All Out" attack to finish them off
quicker.
o The guide emphasis this, but in general you want to get through the
game's Palaces in one trip. You'll be forced to make multiple trips on
some Palaces, but the quicker you clear Palaces, the more time you have
later for Confidant Ranks and other activities. This guide is optimized
to do Palaces like this.
o When you DO visit Palaces again (like after a Calling Card, for example),
much of the TREASURE can be re-obtained. Be sure to try and nab the
treasures in the Palaces again so you gain more money by selling them off
later!
o This website is FANTASTIC for knowing how to fuse which persona to make
new persona. I was going to do a persona list for this guide, but honestly
this site is so well done there's no point to that:
o https://chinhodado.github.io/persona5_calculator/#/list
If you ever wonder "How do I fuse <insert persona>?", this is the site to
check. I will note though that I would NOT use any recipes with the various
Treasure Demons in them, as they don't seem to work too good. Stick with
the normal persona recipes.

��
After starting a new game, you'll be presented with a rather generic "This
story is a work of fiction" message. You MUST AGREE to this to continue (I had
to test it... defy fate and all that).
Shortly after you agree, the game will start in earnest, labeling you a
"Trickster" and then playing a very cool cut-scene. Soon after, we will be in
control.
Proceed through the prompts as the ultra-stylish song "Life will Change"
starts up. Once you gain control, run along the top of the hanging platforms,
jumping whenever you need to. When the guards see you, go left, jumping down
and continuing on until we're forced into our first battle.
We're fighting a "Sacrificial Pyrekeeper" here, but it has no chance against

us. You can win this with pure melee moves, so take it out and go up the stairs
to continue. We're in more of a "traditional persona" area now, but it is very
linear so just head forward until you're stopped automatically. Hide behind the
bin when you're prompted and move up to the door. The guard will run past us,
but we aren't able to chase after him, so continue on until another stylish
cut-scene takes over.
Well... damn...
In the interrogation room, answer however you wish. Continue with the story
and soon we'll be asked to pick a difficulty option. Choose what you wish here,
paying attention to the note below...
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) This Walkthrough is written while playing the "Normal"

difficulty mode. Additionally, the name I'll be using for
the "MAIN CHARACTER" is "Akira Kurusu", which is his name
from the Japanese Manga.
After a bit more... persuasion (answer however you want), you will have to
input your name (see the note above for the name that I picked, but by all
means feel free to pick your own name). After that, a prosecutor (Sae Niijima)
will show up and ask us some questions about our "method". Answer how you will
as she asks us to recall how we came to learn about "That World"... and how we
can steal people's hearts...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

APRIL 9TH (SATURDAY 4/9)

------------------------
.------------------------------.
A blue butterfly flies past us here now as | I am you... You are me... |
a mysterious voice tells us how "unfair" the |------------------------------|
game is. Yet, if we can hear its voice, we | The blue butterfly you see |
have a chance of winning. It will then beg | here is a reference to the |
us to remember the bonds that we have made | diety "Philemon", a guardian |
with our friends... | of souls who's appeared in |
| multiple Persona games. |
After saving, we will wake up with a start, '------------------------------'
as Akira remembers an action from the past. After that cut-scene we'll get a
few more scenes showing our train ride and a peculiar incident in a public
square. An awakening, perhaps?
We'll find ourself in the subway now, and the first tutorial message will pop
up here:
TUTORIAL - HINTS:
.-��
|
| If you are ever confused about what to do or where to go next, look
| to the upper right corner of the screen to view various hints.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Go ahead and exit the train station. Akira will tell us that "Sojiro Sakura"
will be taking care of us starting today. Another tutorial message shoots up
now:
TUTORIAL - TALKING TO PEOPLE:

.-��
|
| All sorts of people live in the cit. Try listening to their conversations
| or press the X BUTTON to talk to them. You might learn something new.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Go ahead and get used to these alleyways for a bit. You'll be thankful for the
look around later. Down the first right turn is an Old Man you can talk to,
and note the bath house, vending machine, coffee shop and dryers. There's a way
back to the station down this path.
Down the main path is the most stuff. A second-hand store, another vending
machine, batting cages, a shop, a movie theater, and a medical clinic. There's
a police officer you can talk to as well. Head further onward and listen in to
the mother and young girl, then go past them to find Sojira Sakura's House.
And... he's not home. Go figure. We're told to check "Leblanc's" next, which
is that coffee shop we saw earlier. Head back there and enter to continue.
After the dialog, you'll meet Sojiro, the manager, and he'll show you to your
room while summing up our situation.
Probation for a year all for helping someone. Pretty messed-up, really. We
are told we'll be going to Shujin Academy tomorrow as well, to meet the staff.
Fun. For now, we're left with a big, dirty room to clean up. You can examine
multiple things here if you wish, which is worth doing to see all the things
you have in this attic. Sofa, desk, reading shelves, bed... good to know for
the future, I assure you. Eventually, you want to start cleaning though. None
of this stuff is any good to us in this state.
After a bit of cleaning, time will progress and Sojiro will come to see su
off. We get a reminder about time here as well:
TUTORIAL - HOW TO ADVANCE TIME:

.-��
|
| Going to bed is a special action that will advance time.
|
| Time is limited. Think carefully about your schedule before you act.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Akira won't let us head outside, so you may as well just go to bed for now.
We'll end up having a dream after seeing that strange phone app again... a
prisoner of our own making. Answer these questions with Igor however you please,
as this is just our first visit to "The Velvet Room" and is meant to introduce
us to this location and its inhabitants.
After the alarm sounds, we will go back to "the real world" and time will
advance...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 10TH (SUNDAY 4/10)

------------------------
Sojiro will come get in the morning as we head to Shujin Academy. After he
makes it clear that our fate isn't his concern we'll meet with the Principal
and Sadayo Kawakami, our new Teacher. We'll get a ton of warnings and our
student ID before leaving.
On the way back we'll get more dialog (expect a ton of story!) and on the
ride home we'll hear of another accident on the radio. This is followed up by
a cut-scene showing the accident along with another showing Sae Niijima and her
boss, as well as an un-named student...
We'll return to Leblanc's soon and head upstairs with Sojiro. He'll give us a
diary here, telling us to write in it before warning us against messing up his
store. He'll leave soon and we'll get a third tutorial:
TUTORIAL - SAVING:
.-��
|
| You can save your game by pressing the OPTIONS button. When you see the
| button command in the lower left, you can save at any time.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) Saving often and rotating saves between the save slots
the game gives you is a fantastic idea. The creed of any
true gamer, is it not?
Instead of going to bed, try to go downstairs to hear a phone ring. It is

the pay phone at the far end of the shop's counter. Answer it and Sojiro will
ask you to turn the shop's sign to "CLOSED". Agree and leave out the front door
and then re-enter to turn the sign (we can't go anywhere else tonight, anyways).
Explore the lower shop now if you wish to get a feel for the place, and then go
to bed. We have a long day tomorrow...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 11TH (MONDAY 4/11)
------------------------
Time for our first day of school!
Head downstairs and talk to Sojiro. He's made us curry for breakfast. Eat it
and thank him, then head out. We've got some public transport navigation to to
here.
Head LEFT first and head straight back for a quick way to the station. You can
talk to the old man if you wish, but board the train after that for a scene
showing how crowded it is (love the kid playing the PS Vita...). Get off the
next train and go upstairs.
This part is a bit confusing, but not bad. Take a right and go through the
turnstyle. We need to find the "Ginza Line", and if you follow the yellow dot
to the right you will head towards it. Do so and go up the stairs, but you'll
find the direct route is blocked for "Cleaning". Great...
Take a right here and go up the "8" Stairs outside. What you want to do is
to head forward to the "Teikyu" building, but you can listen in on protestors
and a news crew out here if you wish (and note the lottery stand to the right)
before heading into the Teikyu Building. Go up the stairs you find.
This next area has a bakery and vending machines, but you want to go through
the turnstyle before the bakery. After that just board the train. You'll see a
scene back at Leblanc's once you do...
We'll arrive at "Aoyama Itchome" now. Note all of the students. Head outside
and you'll get a cut-scene. Very cool. After the cut-scene we'll follow the
"Vulgar Boy" all the way to Shujin, which... isn't quite what it looks like.
Choose what you wish here, but we'll be taken away no matter what...
KAMOSHIDA PALACE
----------------
There's not much we can do here. Once you regain control, examine the cell.
Not much here though: barrels and talking to the boy are about all you can do
until we have company.
There's several scenes now. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Watch the scenes and pick the answers as you will (I chose defiance the entire
way) and soon we'll be in the second battle of the game, but with a tutorial
at the start.
TUTORIAL - USING SKILLS:

.-��
|
| You can use skills by pressing the TRIANGLE BUTTON during your turn.
| Using a skill will consume a set amount of HP or SP.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We're fighting two "Crypt-Dwelling Pyromaniac" here. Since we're tasked with
using a skill, press Triangle and use Eiha. It should nearly kill a foe, which
will give us another tutorial:
TUTORIAL - MELEE ATTACKS:

.-��
|
| During your turn, select a target and press the X BUTTON to perform a
| melee attack with your currently equipped melee weapon. Melee attacks
| are not particularly strong, but they do not consume any HP or SP upon
| use.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Using melee attacks is perfect for conserving resources and is especially

handy on weak enemies. These foes stand no chance against you, so waste them
both and you'll level up after the fight. We'll get a trophy as well (yay!).
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Soul of Rebellion" Bronze Trophy for calling
out the Persona Arsene from the depths of your soul...
We need to escape now. Tell the boy to go after the keys and "The King" will
be locked up. Time to make our escape. This is a linear area, so head to the
door and notice its locked. The bridge to the right, though...
TUTORIAL - SPECIAL ACTIONS:

.-��
|
| You can press the X BUTTON at certain locations in a dungeon to perform
| special actions.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Jump over the bridge and continue down the path. You can examine the cells to
the right if you wish, but we need to enter the last one and use the tunnel we
find to get past the next door. Exit the cell you come out of and go down the
bridge (if you go straight, you'll be forced back). Head to the end for a short
scene and then head up the stairs you find to the next level.
Still no exit... but we can confirm we are NOT alone here. Other school members
are prisoners too! Head forward past the statue (the game won't let us talk to
them) and at the dead end you'll meet Morgana... Go ahead and choose whatever
dialog options you want (try calling it a cat!) and soon we'll have a guide out
of this place.
Go interact with the statue and cross the bridge for our third forced battle.
We have a new enemy here: a "Bedside Brute". Attack it and afterwards Morgana
will give us a battle tip:
TUTORIAL - WEAKNESSES AND "1 MORE":

.-��
|
| Skills have varying ELEMENTS, and each enemy is weak to certain elements.
| If you attack an enemy's weakness, you will deal more damage and knock
| them down.
|
| You will be able to take another action after knocking an enemy down.
| This is called a "1 MORE".
|
| If you then topple another enemy, you will gain another 1 More. This
| will continue as long as you continue to attack enemy weaknesses.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
As you can tell, LEARNING ENEMY WEAKNESSES is going to play a HUGE PART in
the battle system of Persona 5, so be ready to remember them! Finish the enemy
off now and you'll level up again. Arsene will gain the CLEAVE skill as well,
which is handy.
After the battle, Morgana will talk about persona's a bit before ol' blondie
FINALLY introduces himself as Ryuji Sakamoto. Morgana will interrupt and gives
us [_MEDICINE x3_] to heal ourselves with. We get a tutorial as well:
TUTORIAL - AUTO-RECOVER:
.-��
|
| You can Auto-Recover by pressing the SQUARE BUTTON. Auto-Recover uses
| your party's healing skills on all party members. Be aware that the
| required SP WILL STILL BE CONSUMED.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
This is a handy "heal all" button you can use, but be aware of your SP when
you use this. You don't want to put yourself in a tough spot, and remember you
may have healing items you can use instead.
TUTORIAL - AUTO-RECOVER:
.-��
|
| Tutorials you have seen before can be viewed in the main menu. Press
| the TRIANGLE BUTTON to open the menu and select SYSTEM, and then TUTORIAL.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
These messages can get annoying, but better to be prepared, especially if this
is your first Persona Game. Once you gain control, head straight forward and at
the bridge, Ryuji will stop us, pointing out the prisoner's uniform. We'll be
caught again here, but choose to fight.
This battle is against two "Beguiling Girl" enemies. They are weak to curse
skills, and we're almost out of here, so feel free to use skills on both of
them and knock them down, then take them out (for returning fans... no, we
can't go "All Out"... yet...).
Continue on and watch the scenes/dialog and we'll soon be free. Morgana won't
follow us though, although she does seem interested in us...
SHUJIN ACADEMY
--------------
After a scene with the police, we'll be at school. Ryuji is very flustered
still, but will head off with the counselor. Answer the PE teacher as you
wish and after another "modern day" scene we'll be in the academy proper.
We're tasked to head to the Faculty Office and 2nd Floor here. Explore if
you wish, but head to the 2nd Floor to continue. The Faculty Office is in the
short middle hallway area. It's the middle door. Enter it to continue when you
are ready.
We'll meet up with our teacher of course and will need to answer several
questions (answer how you wish) as well as introduce ourself to the class. We
are seated right by the girl from earlier as well, and boy does she seem upset.
Nothing we can do about it now though.
After class, Ryuji will ask us to head to the rooftop. Explore the school if
you wish, but make your way to the 3rd Floor and up to the roof from there to
talk to him. He'll understandably want to confirm what happened with us at the
palace.
Leave the roof to head back home automatically (thank god) and we'll have to
head to bed. No time to do much else. We'll have a dream again though, as Igor
tells us our powers have awoken and explains the "Metaverse Navigator", the app
that's been on our phone for a few days now, even though we've been deleting it
over and over.
On to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 12TH (TUESDAY 4/12)

-------------------------
He'll head MOST of the way to school here. Get off the train and go up the
steps and into the academy (note the vending machine). We'll automatically be
in class as well, with Mr. Ushimaru, the social studies teacher. He'll ask us
a question:
o QUESTION: A soul is composed of appetite, spirit, and what else?
o ANSWER: LOGIC
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Mr. Ushimaru will continue on and
you'll get to see your point spread. We'll be maxing these abilities out over
the course of the game.
After class we'll get a scene with the girl and Kamoshida. Ryuji will meet up
with us after class, intent on exploring the palace. Agree to help him and you
two will try to locate it, without much luck.
After re-tracing our steps a few times, Ryuji will comment on your phone and
the app. He'll eventually take it and try it out, summoning the palace onto the
school grounds...
KAMOSHIDA PALACE
----------------
Head towards the palace and you'll meet up with Morgana again. The slaves
will cry out and spark Ryuji into anger. Answer how you wish here, but I know
I'm chomping at the bit to investigate properly. Agree to accompany Morgana
and we'll soon make our way back into the castle, with some objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Investigate the Slaves
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Follow Morgana
(-NOTE-) I'm going to start labeling objectives in the game as they come
and go. Partly because it is a really good indicator for you to
follow along and partly because it's nice and orderly... being a
guide writer, I just crave orderly appearances... usually...
Go ahead and follow Morgana to the right and you'll see a scene. Ryuji is
freaking out still, but this is undoubtedly our school. Morgana will lead us
onwards automatically...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the cells
Head down the stairwell here and forward at the bottom. We'll run into an
enemy up ahead, which is Morgana's cue to teach us:
TUTORIAL - ATTACKING ENEMIES:

.-��
|
| When you attack a nearby enemy by pressing the X BUTTON, a battle will
| begin. Watch for a red icon to appear when you are in range. If you
| approach the enemy from behind without being noticed, the AMBUSH icon
| will appear. Attack at that moment for an edge in battle.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Ambush the enemy and destroy it. Carry on and go past the bridge to see a
scene. We'll end up hiding out in a room while Morgana explains how desires
have manifested this palace. Ryuji also came... a little bit prepared. Ok,
hardly at all, but he gives us a [_TKACHEV_] and some [_MEDICINE_]. Better
than nothing, right? Right?
We'll get a tutorial about safe rooms afterwards...
TUTORIAL - SAFE ROOMS:

.-��
|
| In a Safe Room, you can consult with your teammates and save your game
| by pressing the OPTIONS BUTTON. You can also save at the Palace entrance.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Saving is always a good idea, so do so now. Talk with your party members and
exit to get some talk from the guards about the slaves being in the Training
Hall. Good to know...
o Sub-Objective: Look for the Training Hall
You can go re-kill the guard back the way we came if you want, then head
forward. Before we hit the next enemy, we get another tutorial:
TUTORIAL - SECURITY LEVEL:

.-��
|
| When you're spotted by an enemy, the security level will rise. This is
| shown on a gauge in the upper left.
|
| As the security level rises, the enemies will be on higher alert. If
| it gets too high, you may be FORCED TO LEAVE THE PALACE, so take caution.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-NOTE-) Two more tutorials are put in the tutorial menu. In general, they
mention you can lower security levels by letting days pass or by
ambushing enemies and that at zero security level you can ambush
easier and from any direction. Always go from the back, though.
Wait for this enemy to face away and take him out. The rest of the area up
ahead is a dead end, so use the door on the left (left of where the enemy was)
to continue on to a new area.
Continue on here and soon we'll be held up as we're taught about how to use
that gun Ryuji brought along:
TUTORIAL - GUN ATTACKS:

.-��
|
| Gun attacks are effective against enemies weak to guns. Press the UP
| BUTTON to ready your gun, then the X BUTTON to attack.
|
| You can continue shooting until you run out of ammunition. You can also
| change targets in between shots using the directional buttons.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Press UP and X to shoot, but save some ammo. No point wasting it all here,
but note you can switch between foes as you shoot. This does bring up a good
point about ammo restoration:
TUTORIAL - GUN PROPERTIES AND AMMO RESTORATION:

.-��
|
| Guns have a higher attack power than melee weapons, but come with
| LIMITED AMMUNITION.
|
| Your ammunition will be restored when you return to reality. However,
| there are generally no other ways to refill your bullet count.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After the battle, we will get A LOT of notes about how to fight and how to
fight efficiently. WARNING: Incoming wall of tutorial text!
TUTORIAL - PARTY TACTICS:

.-��
|
| During battle, you can change your party member's action by ASSIGNING
| TACTICS to them.
|
| You can either set a particular course of action for them to take or
| choose to control them directly.
|
| Tactic changes can be done by selecting STATS on the TRIANGLE BUTTON
| menu or pressing the L2 BUTTON on Akira's turn, then selecting the
| TACTICS option.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - SKILL SELECTION ASSISTANCE:

.-��
|
| If you are able to attack an enemy's weakness, you can press the R1
| BUTTON during battle to automatically move the cursor to that option.
|
| This should save you some time if you already know that enemy's weakness.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - RUSH:
.-��
|
| If you press the OPTIONS BUTTON during battle, your party will
| continually perform melee attacks. This is called "Rush Mode".
|
| Battle will proceed faster during Rush, and you will not need to input
| any actions. Rush can be canceled by pressing the CIRCLE BUTTON.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Continue on (finally!) and when you reach the next enemy we will FINALLY
learn how to do an All-Out Attack. During the battle use Eiha to knock the
Beguilling Girl down and you'll get the prompt for it. This sparks some more
dialog with Ryuji and a tutorial message afterwards:
TUTORIAL - ALL-OUT ATTACK:

.-��
|
| You can initiate an All-Out Attack from a Hold Up by pressing the
| TRIANGLE BUTTON.
|
| All-Out Attacks are ultimate attacks which deal heavy damage to all foes.
| However, you cannot use one if Akira cannot act or if only he can act.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Head forward into the room the enemy was guarding and enter the... um...
the "Training Hall of Love". Yeah... head forward here down the stairs (the
door on the left is a no go) and continue on until you see a scene. Morgana
will have to explain how the "Slaves" work here as opposed to the real world
though. The two are connected for sure...
o OBJECTIVE: Check on the Slave Students
What you need to do now is move forward and look down into the cells on the
left to see what the slaves are being subjected to. Ryuji will spend some
time at each cell memorizing faces, as he knows these students. Do that for
each area (responses don't matter here) and we'll be told to escape:
o OBJECTIVE: Escape from the castle
Head back the way you came and we'll be back in the entrance foyer before
long. You will get in a fight here with THREE "Dirty Two-horned Beasts" here
and the fight will just go wrong right away. Fear not my friends: we are
SUPPOSED to lose this fight. Ryuji needed some prodding to help us out after
all. Enjoy the cut-scenes as Ryuji awakens with our lives on the line:
We'll be in a "Boss Battle" now, but it isn't worthy of my boss battle box.
This fight is too easy. With Ryuji on our side, use his ZIO skill on the two
Dirty Two-horned Beasts that the Guard Captain summons. They are weak to ZIO
and will fall. Finish them off with regular attacks and gang up on the Guard
Captain to take him down quickly.
After the fight, watch the scenes with the familiar girl and escape. We live
to fight another day and have plenty of ammo against the Real World Kamoshida.
We'll also eventually get a short "Real World" scene and then feel a bond
start to form with Ryuji, which is natural given what we've just been through
I'd say...
.'��'.
| ~ CONFIDANT RANK UP! ~ |
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: RYUJI SAKAMOTO |
| |
| CHARIOT ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Agree to go out to a meal with him and you'll share some stories together.
You'll swap phone and chat numbers as well and head home. You'll get the warm
welcome, of course, as well as a few texts from Ryuji. We got a new objective
when we get to our... attic.
o OBJECTIVE: Uncover Kamoshida's abuses
Head to bed now and you'll have another dream. Igor will explain a few
things to us here, mainly dealing with confidants as well as forming a bond
with us as well (which is really handy as we gain some very much needed
special abilities).
TUTORIAL - CONFIDANTS:
.-��
|
| Confidants are people you trust who share a similar goal. You can find
| these people in places like school or around town.
|
| Try forming bonds with people by visiting them multiple times, earning
| their trust, and proving your value.
|
| Once you have formed a bond, you can open the menu with the TRIANGLE
| BUTTON and select CONFIDANTS to check the strength of your relationships.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: PRISON MASTER |
| |
| FOOL ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: WILD TALK |

| |
| NEW ABILITY: ARCANA BURST |

| Confidant rank. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
TUTORIAL - CONFIDANT ABILITIES:

.-��
|
| People you have formed a bond with have special Confidant Abilities.
|
| Your CONFIDANT RANK indicates the strength of your trust with someone.
| As this rank increases, more of their Confidant Abilities will be
| unlocked.
|
| Press the TRIANGLE BUTTON to open the menu, and select CONFIDANTS. From
| there you can check each Confidant's arcana, rank, and abilities.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
These abilities will come in very handy in the future. Especially Wild Talk.
Note that it can only be done in "Hold Up" mode though. Soon we'll finish our
sleep and the day will finally be over (this was a really long day!).
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 13TH (WEDNESDAY 4/13)

---------------------------
We'll head out to school automatically and be reminded of the Volleyball

Rally today. This leads to a cut-scene showing a game where Kamoshida sends a
spike right into a kid's face. Ugh... I mean, think about watching what's
happening, guy?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look for witnesses
After that, we'll be talking with Ryuji and will need to go talk to the
volleyball players, getting the objective up above. The first one is from
our class, 2D. The game will give us another handy tip here though (you'll
like this one):
TUTORIAL - QUICK TRAVEL:

.-��
|
| You can use quick travel by bringing up the map with the R1 BUTTON and
| selecting the location you want to move to.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Head to your classroom however you wish (go left if you are using the quick
travel) and talk to the player with "..." above him. He's no help though.
Afterwards, use the "Split Up" option with Ryuji and head to your second
mark: a player in the 3C class. He is actually not in his classroom, but
nearby talking with some one (remember, the 3C classroom is on the first
floor). Listen in on them to talk with him, but it's not going to go anywhere
as he's rather hostile.
TUTORIAL - CHECKING MESSAGES:

.-��
|
| You can view the messages you have received by pressing the SQUARE
| BUTTON. An icon will appear on any unread messages.
|
| Only the 50 most recent chat threads will be saved. Old chats will be
| automatically deleted, so don't forget to read them.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
You'll get some texts from Ryuji afterwards, about a lead near 1B. Head
there next (up on the third floor) and you'll find a kid nearby with "..."
you can talk to. He is much more open being a freshman, and will mention
someone named "Mishima" and "Special Coaching" that he's been getting. It
seems we have another lead! Head back to the meeting area afterward.
We'll get to talk with Ann Takamaki a bit while we are waiting for Ryuji.
Turns out he knows her a bit. She didn't deny the whole "going out" thing
too, which is a bit troublesome, but she tries to warn us away.
Not likely...
That's it for this day though. Head to bed once you get home, as the game
doesn't let us do anything more at this time.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 14TH (THURSDAY 4/14)

--------------------------
Again, more frustration in investigating real-world crimes. We will talk

with Shiho a bit here, but it doesn't help much (Ann is clearly concerned about
her friend and her new bruises as well).
Even more surprising though, after school we'll be met by... Morgana! In, um,
Cat Form. We're apparently the only ones that can hear him. Enjoy these scenes
as he lays out his plan, although the end results sounds... a bit extreme. I
mean, murder... is still murder. Ryuji will think about it though. How can
Morgana sill complain about the cat comparisons, though!?
Head home after that and on your way back you'll run into Ann. Pick whatever
choice you wish here and she'll run off. It's a bit creepy, but we have to go
after her...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Pursue Ann
Head into the "Underground Walkway" here (where we first came from) and then
down the stairs, retracing our first route. Only this time go STRAIGHT as you
take the right turn, and you'll run into Ann by a pillar. Talk to her and ask
to go somewhere safe and you'll talk. You'll learn the bind she is in and can
encourage her here.
We'll go home automatically after that, getting one last text from Ryuji
and hitting the bed before the next day starts.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 15TH (FRIDAY 4/15)

------------------------
Today is... going to be a trying day. Head to school like usual and watch
the scenes that happen. It's a bit shocking, but honestly not as bad as I
thought it would be. We have to get down there!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Courtyard
We'll have to take the long way around. Head to the lower level and to the
other building, then make your way to the courtyard from there (easy to do if
you check out the map). You'll see some scenes here and Ann will go along with
Shiho. We have someone to see though...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to Kamoshida's location
Here we just have to follow Ryuji up to the second floor and to the end of
the hallway, where we'll confront Kamoshida. As you can imagine, this doesn't
go particularly well. Expelled? Hmmm....
Not if we can force him to have a change of heart...

We'll end up going back to the Castle, but Ann follows us. Watch the scenes
as she glimpses part of Kamoshida's world and soon we'll kick her out. Hmph.
I would have taken her along. Oh well... once we get control, we will get a
tutorial box:
TUTORIAL - DASHING:
.-��
|
| While in phantom thief form, you can DASH by holding the R2 BUTTON as
| you move around.
|
| This will help you traverse a Palace quickly, but be careful - while
| dashing, you will be more easily spotted by enemies.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
KAMOSHIDA PALACE
----------------
After that, it's up to us to act like proper thieves, as we get a new

objective. It's about time, right?!
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Kamoshida's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Castle
Enter the infiltration point off to the left and we'll be inside. Here,
head to the RIGHT for a scene where Ryuji asks the important question: why
can't we just beat him up here? We need to steal the TREASURE that he's
manifested, it seems... beating on him alone won't do any good. Bah, always
so complicated...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Castle
Head through the only other door and we'll be forced into a fight. Here
Morgana will tell us the "other" good thing about getting the enemies into
a "Hold Up": Negotiating with them!
You'll automatically put this Pixie Enemy into a Hold up. Once the talk
prompts occur choose whichever you wish. You can normally get these items,
but not this time. Instead, say "You chose the wrong enemy" once you can and
you'll end up gaining PIXIE as a PERSONA. Something Morgana was NOT expecting.
This gives us another tutorial as well:
TUTORIAL - CHANGING PERSONAS:

.-��
|
| Akira's potential allows him to hold multiple Personas. As such, you
| can freely change which Persona you have summoned.
|
| When you change your Persona, your stats, elemental affinities, and
| available skills will change to match the Persona you selected.
|
| While in the PERSONA menu, press the R1 Button or L1 Button to change
| Personas. Outside battle, press the TRIANGLE Button then select Persona
| to change.
|
| You may normally change Personas whenever you'd like, but during battle
| you can only change Personas ONCE PER TURN.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We also get a trophy as this is our first persona outside of our default
one. Very nice!
(-NOTE-) You will get the "I Am Thou" Bronze Trophy for obtaining your
first Persona through negotiation.
We'll get into a second fight soon. If you want to fill out your PERSONA
list, we have space for FIVE MORE Persona's (well, four after Pixie). See
the "NEGOTIATION GUIDE" below to recruit them all. You can get the Bicorns
from this fight if you wish (I didn't know how to at the time), but coming
up we have a better area to recruit Persona's in, so don't sweat it.
After the fight we get another tutorial message as well...
TUTORIAL - SHADOW NEGOTIATION:

.-��
|
| During a HOLD UP, you can NEGOTIATE with any enemy shadow. If you
| succeed in the negotiation, you may sometimes gain a new Persona.
|
| The decision between defeating your foes quickly with All-Out Attacks
| or negotiating to gain Personas or other rewards will be a crucial one.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
And now that "Persona Negotiation Guide" I mentioned up above:
(-NOTE-) The box below will help you out when it comes to negotiating with
different PERSONA'S in the game. Look for it whenever you enter a
new area to get a heads-up on what you will need to do.
_________________________________________________
|/\| KAMOSHIDA PALACE - PERSONA NEGOTIATION GUIDE | __
|\/|��|\/|
|/\| Negotiating with the different enemies and gaining new PERSONAS is |/\|
|\/| vital to survival. Reference this list when you are trying to gain |\/|
|/\| a new PERSONA for a MUCH easier time. |/\|
|\/| |\/|

|\/| |\/|
|/\| |/\|
|\/| o Pixie |\/|

|/\| |/\|
|\/| |\/|
|__|________________________________________________________________________|__|
OK, now that those fights are done, continue on to another hallway. You will
see a locked hallway to the left but as you continue you'll come to a bigger
room with THREE enemies patrolling about. Take each of them out via ambush and
use the pillars here to hide behind.
(-NOTE-) THIS is the area to battle foes in and fill out your Persona list.
I would recommend getting all the Persona's above, but at the VERY
LEAST you should go after Jack-o-Lantern for the Agi/Fire ability
which will be helpful coming up...
ALSO, note that you can leave back the way you came and return to
force the three enemies to spawn again. Which is very useful for a
bit of grinding or making sure you recruit all the persona's you
can...
After killing all three enemies, be sure to nab the [_CHEST_] in the room
which has a Silver Dagger. Be sure to equip it to Akira, as it is a nice
damage upgrade.
(-NOTE-) If you get AMBUSHED, you get the tutorial message below. I, um...
totally got this on purpose... yeah, for the guide. Yeah...
TUTORIAL - SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES:

.-��
|
| If an enemy takes your party be surprise, you may find yourself at a
| disadvantage at the start of battle.
|
| In this situation, not only will the enemy gain a preemptive attack, but
| you will also be unable to escape from battle.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once you leave the room with the three enemies and treasure, continue on
to see a scene. Ann isn't about to let us toss her out, it seems... but that's
not a good thing, as she gets caught right away...
o Objective: Rescue Ann Takamaki
Well, time for a rescue mission instead of an infiltration mission. We have

to go back the way we came, which has three more enemy fights in it. Take them
all out and head back to the gated hallway, which is open now. Head down it
and make sure you are healed up before going through the door.
Enjoy the scenes here and we'll soon have another teammate on our hands! I
knew she should have come with us! We'll have another "Mini Boss" fight on
our hands as well, but it is really not worth a boss box. This boss is WEAK
TO AGI/FIRE, which Ann just happens to have naturally. Between her and you,
if you picked up the "Jack-o-Lantern Persona" like the note above mentioned,
you can knock down this boss twice per round, which is nearly fatal to him.
A very easy fight.
Once he is beaten, you'll get more dialog with Ann as you can imagine. You
will end up leaving the dungeon automatically by the way, with Ryuji giving
us drinks. This all leads to a "real world" scene and we'll gain a new ally
and confidant...
.'��'.

| |
| NEW ABILITY: BATON PASS |
| |
| Allows you to pass your turn over to other Baton Pass |
| users after a 1 More. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Continuing on, we'll also settle up a few things for our gang. Such as our
hideout being on the School Roof (OK...) and the fact that Morgana will be
living with us from now on. Which he just kinda... volunteers us for.
We'll go home next. Talk to the lady here if you wish and head up to the
attic once you are able. We'll end up sharing our... ward... with Sojiro and
seeing that he really has a soft spot for animals. Heh...
Morgana will offer to help us out in exchange for us taking care of him
though, which all leads to another real world scene and another confidant
for our ever-growing list of allies:

| MAGICIAN ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: INFILTRATION TOOLS |

| Allows you to craft basic infiltration tools. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Well... that's about it for today. You can examine things for commentary
from Morgana, but we need to go to bed to advance, so go ahead and so so now
to continue to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
For some reason, we have school today. Weird. We can't dodge chalk either
it seems. After school we'll meet at the "hideout" and discuss preparations
before we go in again. Ryuji is in charge of weapons, while we'll look into
medicine from that lady we met...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Visit the suspicious clinic

Once you have control, we will need to visit "Takemi Medical Clinic". Morgana
will stop us from visiting anywhere else, so go ahead and proceed to the clinic
for now (straight and left at the turn by the movie theater, then up the stairs
to the left. Choose whatever answers you wish and soon we'll get our first shop
menu...

______________________________________________( - TAKEMI MEDICAL CLINIC - )
��`��
After the visit, we learn her name is Tae Takemi, and she's being hasseled
by some man. Interesting. I wonder if she is creating medicine like that?
Sounds useful...
We'll head home next and get a message from Ryuji about visiting Shibuya,
although Ann won't be going with us. Oh well. You may as well go to bed, as
Morgana won't let us do anything else. Time marches on again...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Hey, a week has passed!
We'll meet Ryuji automatically here and will need to follow him.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Follow Ryuji
Once again, there's not much we can do here except follow Ryuji. He goes out
to the Central Street area, which is a big shopping aea, Check out all of the
shops here to get an idea of what's out here. It'll be useful later. Of note,
the arcade and burger shop. We'll be coming here later.
For now, follow Ryuji as he leads you to the back alley and into the weapon
shop. Talk to the owner for tons of dialog and to access the shop. This shop
has SEVERAL options, but they are all separated down below.

to point out tomorrow.

Exit the store once you're ready to go and we'll make our way back to the
attic automatically. Clean up the desk like Morgana asks and he'll teach us
how to make infiltration tools, which pops a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - MAKING INFILTRATION TOOLS:

.-��
|
| With the necessary materials, you ca nmake infiltration tools. These
| can be beneficial when exploring Palaces, so be sure to try them out.
|
| Materials can be collected from defeated Shadows in Palaces and from
| shops in town. Try visiting different shops to see what items are in
| stock.
|
| Making tools will cause time to pass, but will improve your PROFICIENCY.
|
| As your Proficiency grows, the amount of infiltration tools you can make
| at a time will increase. Try raising your Proficiency to become more
| efficient.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-NOTE-) I've been told you can save-scum a bit here to get +3 PROF. but
doing so actually messes up future events. We do it later, but for
now, just SAVE and make sure you get PROF. +2 like I mention down
below!
I just ended up making a single lockpick. Morgana mentions that it may not
go well, but I'm fairly sure you make it no matter what, as well as gain a
bonus: [_PROFICIENCY +2_].
Can't argue against that! Go to bed now and we'll head to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
We'll be at school automatically after this and will have a group text chat
with the team. We'll learn that we actually have SEVERAL DAYS before we have
to go back to the palace, which gives us time to train up a little, spend
money and prepare. We get a couple tutorials after this as well:
TUTORIAL - PALACE INFILTRATION DEADLINE:

.-��
|
| If you cannot execute the plan by the deadline, then it's GAME OVER.
| Keep vigilant and be aware of the time remaining.
|
| Palaces contain many strong enemies. Consult with your allies and make
| use of the various facilities in the city to ensure a successful
| infiltration.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - ACTIVITY LOG:

.-��
|
| By connecting online, you can check what actions other players chose to
| take at the same time on the same day.
|
| Press the TOUCH PAD BUTTON to see the activity log of other players.
| This feature will not affect the gameplay or story.
|
| To turn this feature off, open the main menu by pressing the TRIANGLE
| BUTTON, then selecting System, and then entering Config.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Now, we have to decide what to do with our time. For now, answer that you
are UNDECIDED when asked about going to the Palace. How to spend your time
is a very PERSONAL choice of course, but since this game has been out for
awhile in Japan, there's TONS of stuff out there already to try and make the
most of your time.
(-NOTE-) There's not much out there for HOW to spend your time, and
honestly I was looking forward to trying to figure it out by
myself, but I've been beaten to that. There's another guide out
on GameFAQs by "KillScottKill" (What a name! I like it!) that,
well, isn't so much a walkthrough but a great time management
guide. I'll be using that as an outline between the other parts
of this walkthrough.
If all you're looking for is a time management guide, I would

encourage you to check Scott's guide out. You can find it here:
https://www.gamefaqs.com/ps4/835628-persona-5/faqs/74549
THIS guide starts out very similar, but a few months in you will
see Scott and I end up doing things very differently. Namely, I
abuse the FORTUNE TELLING system later on in the game to make
things happen FASTER, which should save you more time in the long
run and let you accomplish more overall. Still, I think Scott's
guide is a fantastic resource. Many props to you, sir!
First thing's first: we need to get our read on! Reading books has always
been a big part of improving your stats in the Persona Series, and is also
important for the "Bookworm" trophy.
With that said, head to the 3RD FLOOR and go visit the library. You'll
get a tutorial once you enter on using the library...
TUTORIAL - USING THE LIBRARY:

.-��
|
| You can borrow books from the library. Furthermore, if a desk is
| available, you can read or study here.
|
| Studying in the library will have a different effect than studying
| elsewhere. Choose where you want to study depending on the situation.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
You can also examine the desks here for another tutorial:
TUTORIAL - STUDYING IN THE LIBRARY:

.-��
|
| When you study in the library, time will pass, but you will improve
| your KNOWLEDGE.
|
| If you manage to focus despite the noise, you'll also gain some GUTS.
| If you are distracted, you will still gain KNOWLEDGE.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
You want to pick up the book PIRATE LEGENDS while we are at the Library.
We need the GUTS it provides! It is ALWAYS a good idea to have a book on you
at ALL times, as you'll see soon in the next couple of days!
Next up, let's start stacking some SP RECOVERY items. There's some vending
machines around school and the town that we can visit, but most of them just
have HP drinks. There's a couple that don't though, so let's buy them. The
first machine is in the COURTYARD at school. They are only 5 SP drinks, but
they add up, and since we're going to push dungeons as much in one go as we
can, buy up!
From there, head to the subway station. Once you get to subway station,
you can check out the fliers EVERYWHERE to learn about part-time jobs. Go
ahead and you'll get a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - PART-TIME JOBS:

.-��
|
| Part-time jobs will cause time to pass, but you will make some money.
|
| Some conditions may need to be fulfilled before you can apply. Once
| you've met these conditions, try applying to the job you want.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
There's three jobs we can apply for, but for now just apply for the first
one, the Convenience Store Job. You don't HAVE to work it of course, but we
want it unlocked regardless. We get a tutorial as well, telling us how to
know when we can work:
TUTORIAL - PART-TIME WORK CALENDER:

.-��
|
| Check what days you work at your part-time job by opening the menu with
| the TRIANGLE BUTTON and selecting CALENDER.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Next up is the "Underground Mall". There's a couple entrances to it, but

like it sounds it is full of stores. You can get to it by going to the east
end of the subway station and going up the "7" Stairs.
There's a lot of shops here, but almost everything is too expensive. The
one store we definitely want to head to is the plant store in the far right
(in the northeast corner). Here you can buy "Bio Nutrients", so go ahead and
get one (I bought two, actually).
From here, head to the "Central Street" area, where Ryuji took us yesterday
to buy weapons. Here you want to try and visit every shop you can, as you
will unlock FAST TRAVEL to many of them.
Of note, be sure to visit the BURGER STORE. Here you want to buy the "Earth
Burger", which is cheap for what it does. You want to save that for when it
is really needed. You can buy SP DRINKS from the Vending Machine in the
ARCADE as well. I bought them out, for the grinding we will be doing soon.
Head back home to the "Back Streets" area now through the subway. We are
free to shop around now of course. Head to the VENDING MACHINE near the bath
house and buy the SP DRINKS here. These are the same as before, but we can
buy MULTIPLE of them and they are MUCH CHEAPER. Buy them all out...
Next up, head to the Second Hand Shop and buy the [_CRT TELEVISION_]. It
costs a bit, but you can afford it. The shop owner will throw in a tuner and
DVD player, stating they will deliver it for us. Perfect.
Next up, head to the store up ahead and buy the "Spring Fruit Pack". It too
is a bit spendy, but it is cheap for what it does. Healing the whole party for
a great chunk. Save it for when it is needed, of course.
Next up is our time-wasting activity of the day. We're going to go back to

"Takemi Medical Clinic" and spend time with Tae Takemi, as she is a new
confidant link for us.
When you enter, ask about the "rumored medicine" and continue to say that
you will stay and you need it for your study's (don't go for any of the
obvious bad answers, like telling on her... don't be that guy!) She will
eventually relent after being annoyed, and after a few scenes we'll get that
rank up and will have Tae Takemi as a new confidant (as well as her new
guinea pig... fun...).
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: BACK-ALLEY DOCTOR |
| |
| DEATH ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: REJUVENATION |
| |
| Increases the selection of healing items at the clinic. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We also gain [_GUTS +1_] from this encounter, from drinking that drink. You
are crazy...
We'll head home next for the evening. Talk with Sojiro if you wish and then
examine the booth nearby for another tutorial on studying. Pay attention to
the rainy day note at least...
TUTORIAL - STUDYING:
.-��
|
| When you study in the booth, time will pass, but you will improve
| your KNOWLEDGE.
|
| RAIN makes it easier to focus, and studying on these days will have a
| greater effect. Plan accordingly to take advantage of rainy days.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
For now though, head UPSTAIRS and don't study. We need to clean (I've been
wanting to do this for a week plus!). Clean the bookcase up here and you will
get the book [_YONCHA WANDERER_]. You also will clean the mess by the desk
and will get the plant from doing so (which is nice). Now you know why we
have the Bio Nutrients...
Head to bed and end the day now...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
We get introduced to a new teacher here. Mr. Hiruta, the biology teacher.
He will have a question for us:
o QUESTION: Is the line extending from A connected to B or C? Which is it?
o ANSWER: C
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Seems like the question was tailored
to our understanding of the Metaverse. Heh.
We'll get a text next. Decline any invitations to the palace, but after you
get the text, you'll get a couple of tutorials:
TUTORIAL - CONFIDANT INVITATIONS:

.-��
|
| Confidants will send invitations to spend time with them via IM. Some
| messages will be important.
|
| You can accept the invitation by responding to the message, but there
| is no need to reply immediately.
|
| Text messages that have not been responded to will have HOLD by the
| message.
|
| Wait too long to respond and the invitation will expire. Not every IM
| needs a reply. Accept the invitations from people you're interested in.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Enter the PHONE MENU and accept Ryuji's invitation to go train, as this is
a chance to hand out with him...
(-NOTE-) Hearing the phrase "I feel like my bond with (insert name) will
grow stronger soon..." is a good indication that your confidant
rank with them will rise upon spending more time with them. You
can use this for planning if you wish.
TUTORIAL - SPENDING TIME WITH CONFIDANTS:

.-��
|
| Spending time with Confidants after school or at night will deepen
| your trust in each other.
|
| Think carefully about who you will spend your limited time with as you
| progress through various Palaces.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We'll hang out after school with Ryuji, where you'll run around with him and
get some dialog options. When it comes to the dialog options, be sure to choose
these choices:
o "I'm counting on you" / "What about them?" / "Do you want to go back?"
This will let us rank up with Ryuji, getting to Rank 2.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, we'll be back at Leblanc's. We're going to do a couple things

here. First, talk to Sojiro if you want, and then the customer to get him to
leave. Next, go upstairs and FEED THE PLANT. It doesn't cost us any time and
will grant us [_KINDNESS +2_], which is sweet. Morgana also gives us the chair
and beam to work out with, but ignore that for now.
Now, let's get some reading in. Head downstairs and interact with the small
BOOKSHELF on the counter of the bar. You will get a tutorial about reading,
which is a bit helpful (especially the thing about the tabs):
TUTORIAL - READING:
.-��
|
| Reading will cause time to pass, but finishing a book will grant a
| variety of benefits.
|
| As you read, a bookmark icon will be filled. A book is finished after
| all icons are filled. Some books can be difficult and require KNOWLEDGE.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Pick the "Pirate Legend" and read.
o BOOK PROGRESS: PIRATE LEGEND (1/2 TABS)
After that it is time for bed...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Now this is awesome... on our way to school, we get the chance to read yet
again. Go ahead and continue the book we started and we should be able to
finish it here and now!
o BOOK FINISH: PIRATE LEGEND (COMPLETE!)
Reading this book will give us [_GUTS +3_], which is VERY handy for some
Confidant Ranks we have coming up. We'll get reminders about Part Time Jobs
on our way to school and during class. The game is really pushing those,
aren't they? Heh.
ALSO! Be sure to go return the "PIRATE LEGEND" book at the Library and go
pick up the "ZORRO, THE OUTLAW" book next! I actually forgot to mention this
before... thanks to everyone who reminded me!
Once class lets out, we are going to do the impossible. We're going to
infiltrate the Castle Palace. And not just infiltrate it... I plan for us
to push ALL THE WAY TO THE TREASURE.
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) This is asking a LOT out of you. After doing it myself,
I realize this. However, it CAN be done. We will run very
low on SP, especially towards the end, and will basically
need to use every item we have and find, but this is still
very do-able.
It is HARD though (we can save a lot, at least). If you

aren't comfortable with this, split it in half or even
2/3rd / 1/3rd. The benefit to doing this though is that
we have more time to push maxing our stats out afterwards.
The downside is we'll be a bit under-leveled, use all of
those items, and will lose access to three chests.
Choose to meet up at the hide out and head out for the palace. We'll get a
tutorial here about infiltrating:
TUTORIAL - BEFORE INFILTRATING A PALACE:

.-��
|
| Check your progress with the Hold Meeting option. Listen to your friends'
| opinions and decide the best course of action.
|
| Selecting Infiltrate Palace will take you to the Palace. You cannot
| purchase items while in a Palace, so be sure you're well prepared.
|
| It will be nighttime when you return from a Palace. If time runs out,
| it's GAME OVER. Keep an eye on the time remaining.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
At the start of the area, we'll have to get Ann a code-name. Pick what you
want, but she'll choose her own name: "Panther". Try to head on afterwards
and you'll get pulled in to the Velvet Room for a meeting...
Here, you'll gain some new abilities to help you out. Namely, PERSONA
FUSIONS. Remember that you can enter the Velvet Room from any Safe Room by
fast-traveling out to the entrance. We're given plenty of tutorials on how
to do this as well:
TUTORIAL - PERSONA FUSION:

.-��
|
| By fusing together multiple Personas you have in your possession, you
| can create a new Persona.
|
| This can be used to create Personas of a higher level than the component
| Personas. However, be aware that the Personas you fuse will be lost.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - CONFIDANTS AND FUSION:

.-��
|
| When you fuse a Persona that has the same arcana as a Confidant you have
| a bond with, the Persona will gain extra experience upon its creation.
|
| This bonus experience is called Arcana Burst. The higher the related
| Confidant rank is, the more experience the Persona will gain.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - SKILL INHERITANCE:

.-��
|
| When fusing a new Persona, some skills from the component Personas may
| be inherited by the new one.
|
| Which skills can be inherited depends on the Persona being fused. The
| more skills the component Personas have, the more skills can be inherited.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Here, I actually executed Pixie and Arsene for Agation (giving him Dia and
Eiha). He's also a Chariot Persona, which is going to be good for hanging out
with Ryuji later.
Anyway, on our way out, we get a rank up with Igor, which is going to just
be the best thing ever.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: THIRD EYE |
| |
| See things normally invisible to the naked eye by pressing |
| the L1 Button. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
TUTORIAL - THIRD EYE:

.-��
|
| You can now use the Confidant Ability Third Eye.
|
| Activating Third Eye in both the real world and in the Metaverse will
| let you see things normally hidden. Use Third Eye to uncover various
| hints.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Seriously, this THIRD EYE ability is godly. You REALLY WANT TO USE IT AT ALL
TIMES. The reason being is that it highlights items around the palace you can
seal from, which is going to give us things to sell later that will REALLY HELP
US OUT and finance our stat-building. Trust me, use this ability at all times.
It even helps out with enemies. You'll see how as we go through the Palace.
First though, we get a couple of tutorials as we head for the Castle Palace:
TUTORIAL - QUICK TRAVEL (DUNGEON):

.-��
|
| You can now QUICK TRAVEL. Bring up the map with the R1 Button and select
| a previously visited Safe Room to go there instantly.
|
| You can also quick travel from a Safe Room back to the Palace entrance.
| These two locations are the only areas where quick travel can be used.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - THE THIEVES GUILD:

.-��
|
| You can receive aid from allies via the Thieves Guild. This is available
| when infiltrating the Metaverse while connected online.
|
| You can only request help a limited number of times, as the Thieves
| Guild will be able to help you out of a variety of desperate situations.
|
| There are no downsides to receiving aid, so be sure to use it proactively
| if you find yourself in trouble.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We have a couple of objectives here:
o OBJECTIVE: Find the Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the previous point
DESPITE the game telling you to warp, I suggest you go in manually (for the
treasure). Once you enter through the side room on the left, you will get a
tutorial for Third Eye (although my gushing tells you more...).
TUTORIAL - THIRD EYE (DUNGEON):

.-��
|
| Using Third Eye inside a Palace can reveal hidden items and hints.
| If you're not sure where to go next, try this.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-NOTE-) Try your best to save SP for enemies later in the dungeon. If you
are facing low-damage enemies take them out with physical attacks
(unless you are trying to recruit them). We really need this since
we are in it for the long haul. BE SURE to set all of your allies
for DIRECT CONTROL so they don't waste SP. Use items to help heal
as well as you go along.
Also, here is the FULL LIST of Persona Recruiting, which includes a

bunch of enemies you've never seen yet:
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
777: SELF NOTE: Need to finish filling in this list. Missing some information.
If you want to help and send it responses that work, please
feel free! Also need to (at some point) play through this
again and add in persona "nicknames" (from before you catch
them) along with their personality type like I do later on.

Now that we are in it, let's do this! In the first hallway, use THIRD EYE to
see the [_POT_] glowing yellow. Loot it for an item. Loot the [_POT_] in the
next room as well and head to the Safe Room after that.
(-NOTE-) Items given to you via STEALING in the Palace are random. I will
be pointing them out by pointing out generic items like I did up
above.
(-NOTE-) During the first fight you get, due to hanging out with Ryuji
before this, we will get the "Baton Pass" tutorial:
TUTORIAL - BATON PASS:

.-��
|
| You can now perform a Baton Pass by pressing the R2 Button after
| triggering a 1 More.
|
| This allows you to give the action you gained from the 1 More to a
| teammate. That teammate's strength will be much higher for this action.
|
| A character must learn Baton Pass before being able to use it. However,
| Akira can Baton Pass to and from anyone who has learned the skill.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We'll be in a Dining Room of sorts as we continue on. Kill the enemy here and
then its time to loot. Get the [_BARREL_] on the left (left from the door you
entered), noting you have to climb the shelf to get it. Next, climb the shelf
to the RIGHT of the entrance door for another [_BARREL_], then move left to the
wall and jump down for a [_BOX_].
Kill the enemy in the back now, around the corner as he walks away, and move
into the next hallway. Kill the enemy here and then check the hallway for some
more items: an [_URN_] near where you entered from and another [_URN_] at the
far end.
Head to the next area now, which is a stairway. A giant stairway. Check the
bottom first for a [_BOX_] and then go up the stairs and get the [_BARREL_]
you find. As you start to enter the next hallway, you'll get an important
tutorial. There's a more stylish way!
TUTORIAL - HIDING BEHIND COVER:

.-��
|
| Near cover, press the X Button to hide behind it. From there, you can
| check out what's ahead and enemies cannot find you.
|
| While behind cover, you can adjust your position by tilting the Left
| Stick.
|
| If there is another hiding spot nearby, you can press the X Button to
| jump there instantly.
|
| Also, if you are within range of an enemy, you can attack from cover for
| a guaranteed ambush.
|
| Make good use of this to gain the advantage. However, be aware that cover
| cannot be used if an enemy is already chasing you.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Kill the enemy here using cover and then loot the [_URN_]. Go around the
next corner and kill this enemy, then loot the [_SHELF_] on the left bookcase
and the [_SHELF_] in the very back. Continue through the door and you'll come
upon a room guarded by a TON of bars...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get past the bars
This is a fairly easy puzzle: just use THIRD EYE and pull the handle that is
highlighted near you. Go around the room now and pull the other highlighted
handle. You can't mess this up with third eye.
This will open up the middle of the room, which in turn lets you pick up the
[_OLD CASTLE MAP_]. This also gives you a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - PALACE MAP:

.-��
|
| When you find a map, any areas you have not yet reached will be
| highlighted in red. Use the L1 and R1 buttons to view other floors.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Check out the map if you wish. We'll be fully exploring the entire area, and
we've barely made a dent. Head to the next hallway and take out the guard. Go
around the next corner and take that guard out, then loot the [_SHELF_] on the
left near the end.
Head into the next room and you'll see we are above the main hall. Look to
your left to see the door is locked. We have to go around. Look to your right
now and loot the [_URN_], then go up twice using the climb commands. Loot the
[_BARREL_] on the right and move out over the narrow pathway, jumping to the
chandeliers you find.
Follow these chandeliers right, and you MAY fight a Shadow on the way. One
of them spawns rather awkwardly. Probably a good fight to ignore and continue
on, or you can just run around and ambush him.
On the other side, you can leave to the "Front Gate", but DO NOT do that.
Drop down instead and note the gate here, then head into the next room for
a CHEST. This one is locked, but you can unlock it for a [_GOLD BREASTPLATE_]
and an [_ONYX_].
There's also a [_SHELF_] here you can loot. Enter the Safe Room now to
unlock it and give us a new point to fast travel from:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CENTRAL HALL 2F
We should be holding up FANTASTICALLY right now. I hope you've been doing

your best to save that SP! Let's continue on though. Travel to the next area
for a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - ENEMY STRENGTH:

.-��
|
| You can view the STRENGTH of an enemy by using Third Eye. The color
| that appears will indicate their level relative to yours.
|
| Red enemies are of a higher level, yellow ones are about the same level,
| and blue ones are of a lower level.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Even RED enemies can be easy if you hit their weakness. The Negotiation Guide
up above should help with that, for sure. Most of the enemies we'll meet until
the upcoming ROOF area are Yellow though.
Head down the stairs and use the corners here to kill the guards. Be sure to
loot the [_URN_] in the corner and go up the stairs. BE CAREFUL of the guard
here and ambush him when he turns away. Get the [_SHELF_] to the left and
continue on to a dining room.
There are SEVERAL shadows hanging out in this large area, but as you can
see the rooms are split up a bit. Kill the two guards in this left room first
and then get the [_SHELF_] in the back. There is also a ROOM in the back with
an unlocked chest, that has a GODLY item: a [_SNUFF SOUL_]. This is going to
save our bacon later on as it gives 50 SP. You can give this much later on to
Akira or Morgana to really help with healing. Try to save it as long as you
can though, preferably as you get to the roof area.
Head to the other side of the room and take out the two enemies (or one to
save some SP) and make your way to the kitchen beyond that. Take out the
enemy here and loot the [_BARREL_] in the left-hand corner. Head to the back
now and climb up on the shelves to the left when the coast is clear. You can
actually ambush the guard from up here easily, so do so.
The door here is locked, so we need to find a way around (Morgana will be
mentioning something about a draft). Use the shelves to the left and crawl
through the vent you find. Morgana will tell you to ambush the next Guard
here, which is easy to do.
This fight is STAGED, so just use physical attacks and soon it will be
begging you for its life, which gives us a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - BEGGING FOR LIFE:

.-��
|
| When an enemy is in a dire situation, it may try to bargain for its life.
| You can negotiate with it at this point, and possibly even gain a
| Persona.
|
| Shadow personalities determine how likely they are to beg. Timid Shadows
| are more likely, while Irritable Shadows will never beg.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Finish this fight however you like, especially if you already have this
Persona. Open the CHEST now for a [_MUSCLE ANKLET_]. I gave this to Ryuji,
as he is our bruiser.
Head to the next hallway now and you can unlock the kitchen door on the
right. Steal the [_URN_] up ahead and head into the next stairwell room. Loot
the [_BOX_] here like last time and go up the stairs, using the cover you find
to kill the guard. Go back and into the room by the top of the stairs, as it's
a Safe Room and we'll unlock another fast travel point.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: EAST BUILDING 3F
We should be doing fairly well still, all things considered. Easy fights more
or less with plenty of ambushes. Save up though. We've still got a LONG WAYS
to go.
Continue on and go around the next corner to a PATH SPLIT. Go STRAIGHT first
and into the room you find. There is an [_URN_] on the right. Loot it and
interact with the bookcase for [_THE SLAVE BOOK_], which is part of a puzzle
coming up.
Go back and take the other path, killing the guard. Follow the hallway to
another guard fight and go through the doorway to another area.
There is a GOAT DECORATION here that we'll need to pull to continue, but it
is locked. We need to find the key for it, as Morgana points out, giving us
a new objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the key for the gated door
This is part of the puzzle I mentioned. Kill the enemy in the middle of this
area for convenience and go down the NORTH HALLWAY first, getting the [_SHELF_]
at the end and entering the room. This room MAY have an enemy spawn into it,
but I wouldn't bother with it unless you have to. Just interact with the books
here for [_THE QUEEN BOOK_] and head out.
Head down the SOUTH hallway now, getting the [_VASE_] at the end and enter
the room. Like last time, loot the bookcase for [_THE KING BOOK_]. That's all
the books we need.
Head to the southern hallway now and kill the guard you find here. Note that
there is a LOCKED CHEST down here as well. This chest will have a [_BEAD_] and
[_CHEWING SOUL_] in it.
Go through the door on the eastern side of the hallway and you'll enter a
library. As Morgana points out, this room is fishy, and indeed it is a mini
puzzle. What they want you to do is check the books on the shelves after you
use THIRD EYE, and then match up the books. Do so like this:
o NORTHERN SHELF: "The King Book"
o EASTERN SHELF: "The Queen Book"
o WESTERN WALL: "The Slave Book"
After you've used all the books, a door to the south opens up to a secret
room. Look to the left in here, after the scenes, to claim [_KAMOSHIDA'S MEDAL_]
which is the key we needed for the door earlier. We also get [_NEW CASTLE MAP_]
to fully complete the map. As you can see, we still got a long ways to go, but
we are getting there!
Go back to the door and unlock it to continue. Loot the [_VASE_] at the
bottom of the stairs and go into the Safe Room you find to unlock fast
travel to it!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CHAPEL
Be SURE to SAVE as we have a MINI BOSS coming up. It isn't too hard, but he
can still roll us if we aren't careful. If you've been fighting the majority
of the enemies so far, you'll be ok. Heal up and continue on. You'll be in a
chapel area and then WARNED by Morgana about continuing, but continue on and
we'll face the GUARD CAPTAIN.
MINI BOSS: HEAVENLY PUNISHER
This boss is a bit of a special case. For starters, we will see him a bit
later on but with different weaknesses. THIS version doesn't really have
any weaknesses, and has a "CHARGE" attack that is actually going to give us
a tutorial message:
TUTORIAL - GUARDING:
.-��
|
| When you Guard, you not only reduce damage received, but you will also
| be protected temporarily from being knocked down and from ailments.
|
| If you think the enemy will perform a powerful attack or target your
| weaknesses, it would be wise to employ Guard to protect yourself.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Well then, we definitely need to GUARD when we see him CHARGE up, as he
can do excessive damage with his "Cleave" attack after he charges up. Be
sure to guard with everyone and heal up after he attacks, then use heavy
physical attacks to lay into him. He can't heal himself, so keep on the
attack and guard/heal when needed and this fight is yours.
UNFORTUNATELY, Several Guards appear after this fight. Check out our new
objective here and then QUICKLY read the paragraph below to get the heck out
of here.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look for a way to proceed
Here, you want to SPRINT BACK TO THE SAFE ROOM. Seriously, even if you get
spotted, that's fine, just run back and take the % hit. Nothing we can't work
off. Be sure to SAVE as well.
Head back after that and the guards will be on normal patrol routes, which
is exactly what we wanted. Head east along the south path and kill the guard
that comes down that way. There's another one that comes close to the north
and you can kill him if you want (your choice... you could save the SP).
Nab the [_VASE_] on the right wall to the north and then climb up the rubble
that is nearby on this right side. We'll want to climb up to the narrow pillars
up above and then head south, jumping from pillar to pillar. At the last pillar,
be sure to go up and steal the [_VASE_] to the left and jump down to the CHEST
nearby. Thankfully, it is open and we can get some [_GRIMY GEAR_]. We can't use
it in this state, unfortunately (more on that later).
Jump up to the red platform now and go out towards middle of area. You can
jump across to the other side of the room, but be careful about the "jump
down" options. You'll be on the east side of the room now, with a guard down
below. Jump down and kill him, then open the nearby CHEST for another prize:
some [_WOOD CLAPPERS_] (I put these on Morgana... they don't come in very
helpful at this point, but better than nothing).
Head back up to the pillars and head to the north now. On the northern red
platform, where you can first jump down to the doorway area, go towards the
middle instead and head north over a pole to loot a [_BOX_]. head back now
and jump down, going through the door.
Sheesh, we're slowly making our way forward. We're almost to the roof area
actually. Take a right and kill the guard in the hallway. The northern door
here won't open, but go into the southern door to find a CHEST, which gives
you a [_BREATH SASH_]. More HP for someone. I gave this to Ann. She needs it
the most, actually.
The other northern door here puts us in a FORCED FIGHT with an enemy. The
room only has a [_VASE_] as well, so only go in if you're doing good on SP
or REALLY want the maximum amount of treasure you can get.
Head to the path split now. South leads to another guard you can kill and
a [_SHELF_] you can loot. You can open the door here for a shortcut to the
previous area as well, if you wish.
Head north to the stairwell now. Going down leads to an enemy with a LOCKED
CHEST. Only go that way if you can open it, I suppose. Of all the chests,
THIS is the one you want to open, as it has a [_PEARL_] and an sword for
Morgana called [_RYOZANPAKU_] that you should definitely equip.
Head UP the stairs otherwise and through the door. We've finally reached
the Castle Roof area.
OLD CASTLE ROOF

---------------
(-NOTE-) This is a good time to use the SNUFF SOUL on Akira if you are
running low on SP. If you have the PERSONA SILKY, you can make
quick work of these hard enemies and get very good EXP for it as
well.
You'll get a short cutscene as you try to go out onto the roof. Four guards
come out, all super tough, so be sure to hide right away. There's not a GREAT
way to do this, but if you followed the note up above you can use the boxes
here to kill the first two lonesome guards (the last two are kind-of grouped
up together). Using BUFU on the "Brutal Cavalryman" is their weakness. You
don't want to give them a chance: their CLEAVE attack can do 90-100 damage on
you, especially if you didn't buy the best gear. If they come with Pixie foes,
have Ann or Morgana use ammo on them to take them down.
Defeat the first two enemies and leave the last two by the door alive. There's
a little trick we can do here: sneak up to the boxes by the door and wait for
both enemies to move away, Go try to use the door now and you'll find it is
LOCKED. This will actually de-spawn one of the enemies by the door though, and
lets us take the other one out easily.
(-NOTE-) If you ambush an enemy by ANOTHER enemy, there's a good chance you
will be forced to fight two fights in a row, which isn't ideal...
After killing the enemy by the door, loot the [_BOX_] and climb up the gear
near the door. Loot the [_BARREL_] you find and climb up again, then go LEFT
first and loot another [_BARREL_].
Go right now and follow the path around the wall. It's pretty linear with a
LOT of jumps. Just don't jump down as you get the option and continue towards
the opening to get back inside.
Drop down as you enter inside and get the [_VASE_] to the right of the door,
then enter. We're in the central tower area now.
CENTRAL TOWER
-------------
This area is going to be a bit rough. Enemies are going to get harder here
and we're undoubtedly getting quite tired. We're going to cheese a bit of
the last part of this area.
For now, get the [_VASE_] behind you and go forward through the walkway (the
other path is locked, just FYI). There is a room to the north here that has an
elevator. Use it and as you reach the end there's a LOT of treasure to find: a
[_VASE_], a [_BARREL_] and a [_BOX_] are all nearby. Now, to the south there
is another elevator, but it leads to a FORCED FIGHT. It does have a good item
at least, but this forced fight can be rough as there are two Succubus enemies
who can brainwash you. Use heavy-hitting attacks with Ryuji and Akira to just
burn them down fast.
(-NOTE-) You can activate the elevator, then run back to the previous
elevator, come back down, and the "Forced Fight" up above will
be de-spawned. Thank you for this trick, Kyle!
Your reward is a chest with a [_BEAD_] in it, which can restore anyone's HP
to full from nothing. Nice.
The path to the north leads to a GIANT PORTRAIT, which is actually a shortcut
we can use. It leads to the beginning area, the front/main lobby. You can use
the stairs on either side here to unlock the upper 2nd Floor gates, and there
is a Safe Room nearby you can use as well. SAVE at it and head back through the
portrait, heading back up to the Distorted Room.
This next area is where things start getting HARD, but if you are following
this guide and have those back-up saves, we can get through this. In the next
room, wait for the shadow to walk away and open the door. BE SURE RYUJI HAS
SOME JUICE FOR ZIO, then ambush it.
This is a special fight, against a LVL 16 "DIVINE PUNISHER", which is like

the mini boss we fought earlier, but actually has a weakness. Hit it with Zio
and do a hold up. Ask him for an item and you can get rid of the fight and
get past him easily. He will likely take us down otherwise and we're still
trying to maintain SP and get through the final portion of this Palace.
There's a CHEST here as well. Unlock it if you can for a [_PEARL_] and a
[_BALM OF LIFE_]. Not much of a reward, honestly...
Head into the next room now and kill the guard you find. Get the [_VASE_]
on the right and hit the goat chain to unlock the door from earlier, then
hit up the SAFE ROOM to the north. We'll unlock a new fast travel point:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CENTRAL TOWER
Be sure to SAVE as it gets harder from here. Head out and get the [_VASE_] on
the right then go up the stairs for another [_VASE_] and continue to the next
room.
(-NOTE-) I am extremely low on SP at this point, so I'm actually skipping

most of the non-essential fights coming up. To help you pace yourself
there is a mini boss coming up but he's VERY easy. There's also TWO
required fights that ZIO is going to be helpful with and another fight
near a chest.
This next area looks a bit maze-like. Be sure to get the [_VASE_] in the upper
left corner. You can go around the room counter-clockwise to skip fights or
just ambush the enemies if you wish (you know what I'm doing). To the right is
a [_VASE_] by the stairs. Head up and take an immediate left when the guard
isn't looking for a CHEST with some [_RELAX GEL_].
Go north now, following the left side of the room for another enemy. This one
is pretty easy to kill (Menacing Owlmen are weak to firearm damage... which
you should have plenty of with Ann at least). There's a chest here as well
that has some [_BAPTISMAL WATER_]. I would save this for the boss fight in a
couple days from now...
Go up the stairs now when the guard isn't looking. It is EASY for him to see
you here, so you can run through the door to remain safe and you'll reach a
new area.
Get the [_BOX_] down here and go up the stairs, trying to enter the bridge
on the left. Some Scythes will come out and stop us. Well damn... inspect the
nearby statue and talk to your team, picking "we need a key" to guess what we
need. This will update our objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Find a way to halt the scythes
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the key
The keys are indeed being carried by guards, and there are two of them.
That's the two forced fights I mentioned above. Go back the way you came
and head down to the lower level (you can sneak around the way you came
and use the middle pillar by the second chest to hide behind). Once you
get to the lower level, use your THIRD EYE to find the Guard Captain enemy.
He is near the steps. Ambush him, and make sure you have some ZIO.
He is a "LVL 16 War-hungry Horseman". No chance of talking it away and less

of recruiting it. Use Zio to put it down and All-Out attacks to take away
about half its health. BE SURE to stay topped up on health to tank his attack.
You may get unlucky and have someone die, but that's what our backup saves are
for, right?
Once you beat it, you'll get the [_RANDY RIGHT EYE_]. From here, we need to
go down another level, near the last Safe Room. Here, you'll see there are
THREE Guard Captains. Only one of them is gold when you use THIRD EYE though,
and that's the one we need. You may as well visit the Safe Room as well, to
get a SAVE in, on a separate save slot...
Head out and confirm your mark. For me, it was the FURTHEST ONE. I actually
rushed him and fougth him, attacking him straight up and fought another LVL
16 Horseman. Since I rushed him, I had a second fight against some Owlmen as
well, so if may be worth it to ambush the closer enemy if you want and then go
after your mark. Or you can just shoot them down with ammo and take items to
end the fight.
Either way, once you beat the second mark, you get the [_LUSTFUL LEFT EYE_].
Save if you wish and head back to the statue. Turn off the Scythes and then
you can go out on the bridge, moving to the left side as you cross for the
CHEST with a [_SOUL DROP_]. Not as good as it sounds.
Wait for the guard up ahead to move to the right and go attack him. It is
likely a Succubus fight, so take them out and get the CHEST they were guarding
for a [_REVIVAL BEAD_]. Continue on, looting the [_BARREL x2_] in the area and
go up the stairs.
Get the [_URN_] on the right and head into the central area, going north and
into the northeast corner to find a [_BOX_] you can loot. Go to the south
cubby now and you'll notice the stairs are NOT appearing. A Shadow will appear
and taunt you. You can try to ambush him, but that won't work so go ahead and
face him head on for the last big challenge of this run (which is honestly a
pretty easy one... those last two rooms and getting the keys were much harder
I think...).
MINI BOSS: TORN KING OF DESIRE
Here, you want to go PURY PHYSICAL, keeping your health up at all times
past 100, as this (sigh... penis-shaped monster...) foe can do up to 100
damage per shot. Still, it is worth using heavy HP attacks with Ryuji and
Akira to do major damage quickly.
The reason you want to do this is once you get the monster lower on health
(past half-way or so), it will start to use DIA on itself. And as you know,
Dia isn't the best healing spell, so you can out-damage this mini boss fairly
easily.
He will often just use another Dia as well. He also has the chance to just
WASTE a turn by staring at Ann... because of course he will. Still, that is
a bonus for you. Just keep wailing on him and he'll go down in no time.
Soon, the stairs will reveal themselves and you can use them to wind your
way up and to the next set of stairs. Grab the [_VASE_] on the right and
enter the next room. We'll now be in the Throne Room...
THRONE ROOM
-----------
Note the BIG DOOR here to the left and the path upwards to the left of the
door. We have one last guard stopping us in this run, so go attack him and
feel free to go all out.
Get the [_VASE_] on the left now and the CHEST nearby for a [_RELAX GEL_].
Get the next [_VASE_] past that and enter the Safe Room to unlock this very
nice Fast Travel spot (which we'll use later on, for sure...).
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: THRONE ROOM
Head out of the Safe Room and go back to the big door. Use the "Booty Statue"
to climb up and follow the path to the Treasure Room. Get the [_VASE_] by the
door, and go PAST the door to get the [_BOX_] on the right hand walkway, then
go through the big central door.
Nab the [_VASE_] on the right here and head into the Treasure Room. Watch
the scenes here. As you can see, the treasure isn't here. We'll learn about
"Calling Cards" from Morgana now, but we've done absolutely everything we can
do for the day (and boy, what a fight it was).
Go ahead and leave now. As you head out, you'll get the "Infiltration Log"
showing exactly what you've done on this trip (it is quite impressive):
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Infiltrated the Castle o Found a Safe Room
o Infiltrated West Building 2F o Obtained the Old Castle Map
o Found a path on the chandeliers o Found a Safe Room
o Infiltrated East Building 2F o Infiltrated East Building 3F
o Found a Safe Room o Solved the Library Mystery
o Infiltrated East Building Annex o Found a Safe Room
o Infiltrated the Chapel o Infiltrated the Central Tower
o Found a Safe Room o Stopped the Scythes
o Infiltrated the Throne Room o Found a Safe Room
o Infiltrated the Treasure Room o Secured a Route to the Treasure
We get a tutorial for it as well:

TUTORIAL - INFILTRATION LOG:
.-��
|
| When leaving a Palace, your progress will be shown in the Infiltration
| Log. Your teammates will also comment on how far you have left to go.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Head home now for another tutorial and a new objective after that, since
we've explored the Castle Palace fully:
TUTORIAL - AFTER EXPLORING THE METAVERSE:

.-��
|
| Exploring the Metaverse is taxing and will leave you drained. It would
| be best to go straight to bed and rest the following evening.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Send the Calling Card
It's time for some well-deserved rest...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
Oh man... yesterday was INTENSE.
Today we are sending out the Calling Card to make the treasure appear. I
still can't believe we did that entire run yesterday. I won't lie, it was
rough, but this upcoming theft is a bit easier as it's mainly just a single
boss fight. A HARD boss fight at Level 9, but do-able.
Meet up at the hideout after school and we'll get a tutorial and plenty of
dialog about the calling card. Your choice on if you want Ryuji to do the
work. I let him. Go ahead and send it out...
(-NOTE-) Sending out the Calling Card now means we can't get THREE CHESTS
from Kamoshida Palace. This guide is still in progress, but if we
were to get those chests that's got to be at least THREE TIME
PERIODS we'd spend doing so. Not very conducive to spending our
time leveling stats up.
Until I can find a better way, these three chests are unfortunately
just sacrifices...
TUTORIAL - SENDING OUT THE CALLING CARD:
.-��
|
| Be mindful of the following things once you send out the calling card.
|
| Complete all preparations before issuing the Calling Card. Once the
| decision is made, you will return home and begin the next day at the
| Palace.
|
| After the Treasure is obtained, the Palace will collapse and you will
| be unable to enter that Palace again. Leave no chest unopened.
|
| You can enter the Palace to look for items or Personas without sending
| out the calling card. However, be aware of the time remaining.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We'll be back at home now and told to prepare for tomorrow. With what we are
doing, our full SP bars alone will be able to see us through, although if you
have that "Baptismal Water" from earlier it can definitely help.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Prepare for tomorrow's mission
Head upstairs and SAVE. I did some crafting here, because as you know we
are short on lockpicks. I was able to make TWO of them fortunately, as well
as gain [_PROFICIENCY +2_]. Settle for nothing less!
(-NOTE-) I didn't know at the time, but you can actually save scumm
and get up to THREE LOCKPICKS and [_PROFICIENCY +3_] here. It may
take quite a few reloads, but it's helpful if you have chests in
the Palace that you still need to unlock, as a note further below
will point out...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Once you get to school, you'll see the calling card in place. It is causing
quite a stir. Kamoshida is furious as well. Hehehe...
We automatically head out to the Palace as well. Be sure to save once you
regain control. You also have the chance to visit the Velvet Room if you
want. Be sure you have a healing persona and one that has a powerful physical
attack. We also got a couple of new objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Steal the Materialized Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head for the Treasure Room

(-NOTE-) You can STOP and take some time before going to the Treasure
Room and go back and loot any of the LOCKED CHESTS you may not
have opened quite yet. Thanks for everyone who pointed this out
to me!
You can warp right to the Treasure Room Safe Room and waltz right in to the
Throne Room and Treasure Room. Seriously unguarded. This has to be a trap,
but first we get a scene showing how much Morgana LOVES this trophy. It's...
a bit overboard. We'll get a rank up with him though.

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Continue watching the scenes and soon we'll be in our first proper boss fight
of the game:
(-NOTE-) For every boss battle in the game, I'll be doing these "Boss Battle
Boxes". They tell you in the first half the general strategy and
what to do, and at the bottom half the moves the boss has and what
you can expect from them (or how to minimize damage from them). Be
sure to check out the entire box as you fight the boss!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: SUGURU ASMODEUS KAMOSHIDA ~ |
| �� |
| |
| The first part of this fight is pretty basic, as Morgana will point |
| out. Just bide our time and wait for an opening to appear. This really |
| means just attack and heal for awhile. Use Ryuji and Akira to do heavy |
| attacks and heal with Morgana and Ann as needed. Put in a couple rounds |
| of heavy damage and soon Kamoshida will HEAL HIMSELF. Well... crap... |
| It is also worth noting that Kamoshida has NO PARTICULAR WEAKNESS and |
| that he gets to attack twice in a row for most of the fight. This means |
| you may have to do two rounds of healing. |
| |
| |
| o OBJECTIVE: Stop him from healing |
| |
| |
| This section of the fight gives us the "Trophy of Obsession" to target |
| which is how Kamoshida is healing himself. Gah. For this part of the |
| fight you want to only target the cup, putting in big hits with Ryuji |
| and Akira. Morgana and Ann need to heal. The only exception to this is |
| if you see "Kamoshida STARING at Ann". If you see this, it is a sign |
| that Kamoshida IS going to target her with his "Lick" attack, which will |
| do a TON of damage. You definitely should GUARD with Ann when you see |
| this move come up. Heal with Akira if you need to (it took me a couple |
| of battles to learn this...). |
| |
| Once you have the trophy destroyed, he won't be able to heal anymore |
| and you'll get a ton of dialog along with a free all-out attack. That |
| won't do much though, which is why we'll get a tutorial message: |
| |
| TUTORIAL: SPECIAL ORDERS |
| |
| In certain battles, you will be able to carry out special orders. If |
| these strategies succeed, the flow of battle will turn greatly in your |
| favor. |
| |
| Be sure to choose the party member you feel has the best chance of |
| success. |
| |
| However, keep in mind that this party member will act separately, |
| meaning you will have to fight with one fewer party member of a |
| period of time. |
| |
| Choose to "Go for the Crown" and Morgana will make the plan: someone |
| will go for the treasure. We can only send them out when it is Akira's |
| turn, so for now use Ryuji to buff up Akira and heal up. Once it is |
| Akira's turn, send out Ryuji (Morgana helps with healing and Ann will |
| be stared at every now and again...). |
| |
| |
| o OBJECTIVE: Steal the Treasure |
| |
| |
| Shortly after sending someone out, Kamoshida will talk a bit and will |
| announce his "KILLSHOT" ability coming up. This isn't good of course, as |
| it is his "Ultimate" attack, so be sure to guard when he announces it to |
| minimize damage. |
| |
| Other than that, keep up your attack when you can and stay topped up on |
| health. As you hurt Kamoshida, the person who is gone will sneak onward, |
| first to the ledge above the statue (where they will hang) and then to |
| bush above that. It's rough, but stay healed and keep heavily attacking |
| with Akira no matter what. We MUST keep the damage up, or we'll have to |
| start all over. |
| |
| Once you get three good rounds of damage in, Kamoshida will finally |
| notice that SOMEONE is missing. It's too late though: the party member |
| you sent will knock his crown off. This is where the fight becomes MUCH |
| easier. Kamoshida goes down to one attack per turn, you have your party |
| member back, AND he takes 10x the damage. Seriously, just wail on him |
| at this point and he'll go down quickly, ending the fight. |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Volleyball Assault: This attack is really fitting, isn't it? Kamoshida |
| has his underlings below spike Volleyballs at you. This can do either |
| multiple low-damage hits or a couple of medium damage hits. Either way |
| you are looking at around 40-60 damage or so here. |
| |
| - Libido Boost: This is Kamoshida's "Healing" ability. You'll have to |
| trigger it once to get the option to destroy the cup in front of him, |
| which is how he uses it, but after that you can destroy the cup and |
| he won't be able to use it anymore at all. |
| |
| - Lustful Slurp: One of the more annoying moves. Kamoshida will take a |
| drink from his cup and will gain an ATTACK UP boost. This can be a |
| deadly buff, so be sure to keep your health TOPPED up. You can also |
| use items to take this buff off, but I'd only do that when you're in |
| a bind and later on in the fight (when someone is going for the crown |
| that is...). |
| |
| - Lick: This move can do one of two things. First, it's the move he'll |
| use on Ann after he spends a turn staring at her. Second, he can use |
| it as a regular move (although that seems pretty rare, from what I've |
| seen). Either way, it is above average damage, especially after he |
| stares, so be sure to guard with Ann at the very least when he stares |
| at her. |
| |
| - Golden Knife: This move is really the "basic melee attack" that the |
| boss uses. He'll do around 40 damage to a single party member when he |
| hits them, so be sure to stay above 90 HP at all times or you may just |
| fall to regular attacks. |
| |
| - Tongue Whip: This move is the "hit all" move, aside from the super |
| move below. He'll swing his tongue around and hit everyone with it, |
| doing around 30 damage to everyone. He has low accuracy on this move |
| as well, so hopefully someone can dodge it. |
| |
| - Gold Medal Spike: Kamoshida's ultimate move. He announces this every |
| time he uses it, giving you time to guard before hand. If you have to, |
| try to heal with your highest HP character (or whoever may have a DEF |
| buff). I'm just thankful he announces this move. When you guard, you |
| will only take around 35-40 damage per character. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Once the battle is done, you'll gain 450 EXP and a whopping 8,000 YEN. Well
earned. Enjoy all the scenes now and we'll just have to wait to see the end
results...
o OBJECTIVE: Await the change of heart
No choice but to rest up and head to bed, by the way. I can't wait to see
what will happen (although we will have to wait for quite a few days...).
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
APRIL 23RD (SATURDAY 4/23)
--------------------------
Man, we've dealt with Kamoshida! Amazing, right!?
Life goes on though, and we'll be in class soon, with a question to answer:
o QUESTION: What event did Emperor Nero add to the Olympics so that he
could participate?
o ANSWER: Singing
Yeah, Nero is a despot for sure.
After school, we have a couple things you want to do before doing any more
events. First of all, one of our rewards for taking care of Kamoshida in
essentially three days is that we have a TON of free time. We'll really push
our stats and confidant ranks during these days, but to do that we NEED some
money and the right PERSONA'S.
First, make sure you have the following Persona's:
o CHARIOT
o HIEROPHANT
o DEATH
o LOVERS
You can execute for the Death Persona and the others you can get naturally
or summon as you should have had them before. Either way, these are for our
Confidant Ranks.
Next up, you can sell your TREASURE at the Weapon Shop (Untouchable). This
alone should net you 10,000+ YEN, and that is being CONSERVATIVE. I got 16K
from selling all my treasure, all from our one run on the 20th. This put me
around 40K Yen.
Now, with all of that out of the way, it's time to push our social links
and stats for a few days. Let's go hang out with Ryuji.
You'll be confronted by the former track team if you do. Pick "Let's not fight"
when you have the option, and after that pick "Calm down, Ryuji" once he starts
to get worked up a bit.
These answers, along with the CHARIOT PERSONA you have, will lead to a rank
up for sure!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: FOLLOW UP |
| |
| Chance to perform a follow-up attack if Joker's attack |
| does not down the enemy. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
This ability (Follow Up) will prove itself VERY handy in the future.
You'll head to Leblanc's automatically afterwards. Read the texts you get
and after that Sojiro will ask you to come have a chat with him. Definitely
pick the CHAT option here and you'll talk with him after he cleans up.
Pick the "I'm Not" option and you'll get a lecture no matter what. Agree to
help him in the end and you'll soon get a scene back in the "Real World" where
the detective suspects Sojiro of knowing about your group.
This all leads to a new vow and confidant though, so we can handle the
suspicion...
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDANT: SOJIRO SAKURA |
| |
| HIEROPHANT ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: N/A |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Head to bed now and let time march on.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Ah, a free day. Thanks to that TV we bought, we'll get a tutorial on the
"Home Shopping Program", which is honestly another great Persona Tradition.
Every day's great at your Junes....
TUTORIAL - USING THE HOME SHOPPING PROGRAM:
.-��
|
| Items bought through the home shopping program will be delivered to
| your door on a later date.
|
| The program airs on Sunday. There may be some items that can only be
| obtained exclusively through this program, so be sure to tune in often.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
You can buy a FOUR pack of [_PARTY IN A CAN_], which is an item that will
restore 40 HP to all party members. Fairly worth it, I say, so go ahead and
order it. It will arrive in a couple of days.
For the daytime/afternoon, you can buy a SPECIAL DRINK at the UNDERGROUND
WALKWAY. This is a SPENDY drink (5,000 Yen), but it lets us raise a single
attribute while not passing time. Plus, with the treasure sold lately, you
can likely afford this hit.
Drinking the "Beauty Aojiru" drink will net you [_CHARM +1_].
Now, let's focus on raising some stats. One great way to raise stats is the
movie theater, especially right now as there's a "Guts" movie playing. Head
to the Central Street and visit it (all the way to the north) to get a short
tutorial on it...
TUTORIAL - GOING TO THE MOVIE THEATER:

.-��
|
| Going to a movie will cause time to pass, but if it is your first time
| seeing a film, several of your stats may improve depending on the genre.
|
| The movie showing at the theater changes as time passes, so check back
| every so often to see what's playing.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Go ahead and buy a ticket (again, very glad we have so much money...). As you
watch the movie, you'll gain [_GUTS +3_]. Which should lead to:
o GUTS RANK UP! (GUTS RANK 2: BOLD)
Very nice! As you head home, you'll get a scene from the population of the
city and then as you arrive at Leblanc's you'll get a message from Ryuji (he
is nervous). Finally, Sojiro will loosen up a little, allowing us to be out
without a curfew which means we can explore Yongen-Jaya at night now. Nice.
Instead of exploring, let's do some reading. We've had the Zorro book for
awhile now after all, so let's get in half of the reading right now. Select
if from the bookcase on the bar...
o BOOK PROGRESS: ZORRO, THE OUTLAW (1/2 TABS)
After that it is time for bed...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Once again, we get to read on our way to school, which is perfect for us
getting that book finished!
o BOOK FINISH: ZORRO, THE OUTLAW (COMPLETE!)
As a reward, we will gain [_KINDNESS +3_]. Not bad. I feel we are getting
close to a rank up, don't you. Next up at school we'll have a couple of
questions we'll need to answer:
o QUESTION: What's the common meaning of kakushinhan again, regarding an

action you take?
o ANSWER: Knowing your actions are wrong.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: But the real kakushinhan is the opposite, right? So the opposite
means...
o ANSWER: Conviction that you're right.
Answer correctly to gain [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Sweet!
After class ends, you'll get a message from Takemi. She wants to test on you
again, namely because you now have RANK 2 in Guts. Don't reply yet though, as
we want to head to the LIBRARY and give them back their book. This time, go
ahead and borrow "The Alluring Dancer" for our next read.
Now, go ahead and reply to Takemi and head over. With your new Guts rank,
you can tell her "I want to do a clinical trial", so go ahead and do so.
You'll need to gulp down another... mysterious drink, but soon a cop will
show up to harass Takemi.
When you get a chance, say "I have a bad heart". Once the cop leaves and
you get another dialog choice, say "I agree". Takemi will be pretty happy
and our rank will increase. Sweet
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
As a bonus, we also get [_GUTS +1_] by being in the "shady trial". Can't deny
it's well earned!
As you arrive home, you'll get your TV order, so that's sweet. What to do
with our evening? There's a place we haven't visited yet that gives us BIG
BONUSES to Charm: the BATH HOUSE. Go ahead and exit and go give it a visit.
I also stopped by the Laundromat (we do have that dirty garment) to get some
tutorial's out of the way:
TUTORIAL - USING THE LAUNDROMAT:

.-��
|
| Using the laundromat will cause time to pass, but you will be able to
| clean dirty equipment you've found. Each cycle costs 200 yen.
|
| Up to four items can be washed in a cycle. What item you receive is up
| to luck. Be sure to use the laundromat when you find dirty equipment.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
DO NOT use the laundromat though: we still want to use the Bathhouse. We
get another tutorial here, but note the part about rainy days and the special
baths on MONDAYS and THURSDAYS:
TUTORIAL - USING THE BATHHOUSE:

.-��
|
| Using the bathhouse will cause time to pass, but can improve you CHARM.
| The fee to use the bath is 500 Yen.
|
| The effect you get from the bath depends on factors such as the day of
| the week and the weather.
|
| On Mondays and Thursdays, the bath will be a medicinal bath. You will
| gain more CHARM than usual on these days, so try to aim for that.
|
| Something special will occur when it is raining. Be sure to visit the
| bathhouse on a rainy day and see for yourself.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After you get out of the bath, Morgana will... compliment you quite a bit.
Hah! We'll also gain [_CHARM +3_], which will in turn give us...
o CHARM RANK UP! (CHARM RANK 2: HEAD-TURNING)
Oh, we are getting charming! Hehehe. We'll automatically go back and head
to bed, bringing on the next day....
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
We'll meet Ann before school and share some worries. After that though, we
will be dropped off right after class!
We're going to do something a bit different today: study. There's a LOT of

places in the game you can study at actually: diners, home, the library. We
can get different boosts at different areas though.
For now, let's visit the diner we heard about on the way to school earlier
and get that special meal. Head to CENTRAL STREET and go to the Diner, which
is at the lower end of the map, up the stairs. We get a tutorial message on
our first visit:
TUTORIAL - VISITING THE DINER:

.-��
|
| Visiting the diner will cause time to pass. Studying here will improve
| your Knowledge and dining in can improve your Guts and other stats.
|
| Visiting the diner costs money. Your Knowledge will greatly increase
| when customers are fewer. Try studying here on rainy days.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Now that we are here, order the "Nostalgic Meal" once the waitress comes.
All this money we earned is really helping out, right? At the end of eating
and the study session, we will gain [_KINDNESS +1_] and [_KNOWLEDGE +2_].
Not bad for a study session.
We'll arrive at Leblanc's afterwards. Sojiro is actually ripe for a rank

up, especially with the Hierophant Persona we are carrying. Go ahead and
agree to work to spend time with him.
We'll be behind the counter in an apron. Say "Making Coffee" once you get
the chance. He's REALLY SERIOUS about coffee, and even threatens to kick us
out if we serve a bad cup. I used to be a barista, many years ago, and that
is just... extreme. Haha!
Soon a middle-aged man will come in, and just turn Sojiro's mood SOUR.
They obviously know each other and have history. After he leaves, reply with
"That guy seemed suspicious". He'll be back into coffee soon, and how much
the ladies loved it (it never really helped me, by the way). Pick "I want
the ladies to love me" next, as I can't imagine Sojiro would like the other
option.
Our rank will go up soon, and we'll unlock an ability.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: COFFEE BASICS |
| |
| Allows you to make coffee which slightly restores SP to |
| one ally. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We get a tutorial on coffee as well, which is helpful. In essence, coffee is

that SP DRINK we wish we had more of as we were in the Palace.
TUTORIAL - THE ABC'S OF BREWING COFFEE:

.-��
|
| You can brew coffee at the counter in Leblanc.
|
| You will be unable to brew coffee during the day and after school when
| the cafe is open. Try brewing at night when the coffee gear is free.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
As a (BIG) bonus, we also gain [_KINDNESS +3_] from the lesson, which will
give us a rank up!
o KINDNESS RANK UP! (KINDNESS RANK 2: CONSIDERATE)
Very sweet! We are ranking up fantastically for this early (big thanks to
Scott!). We'll head to bed shortly afterwards.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
On our way into school, some kids will be talking about stats and getting
a girlfriend, which prompts a tutorial (that we already knew about).
TUTORIAL - RAISING SOCIAL STATS:

.-��
|
| Your Knowledge, Charm, Proficiency, Kindness, and Guts will come in
| handy throughout the game. Be sure not to neglect them.
|
| You can train these stats through various activities in the city,
| reading books, and more. Look around and see what you can find.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We'll be in school next, and will be asked a question:
o QUESTION: How many colors does it take to paint every region without any
two adjacent ones being the same color?
o ANSWER: Four
Answering the question correctly will score you [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Still no
rank up though. I feel like we are getting REALLY close to it though...
After school, you'll get a message from Ryuji, wanting to hang out. Go
ahead and meet him. Note that you get a message that you WILL NOT rank up
soon with him. That's what happens in all Persona Games though: as you rank
up and get higher it is going to take you 2-3 sessions of hanging out with
someone to get there. This time it will take us two sessions instead of one,
so you know we're making progress. Just be sure you have that CHARIOT PERSONA
on you.
Hang out with Ryuji this afternoon and soon we'll be on our way back home.
Once you get back, we'll have to sacrifice more time to hanging out. Go ahead
and try making some coffee for the first time (interact with the device at
the bar on the left end) and we'll get a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - BREWING COFFEE:

.-��
|
| Brewing coffee will cause time to pass, but will make a special
| coffee that restores SP. This may prove useful for exploring Palaces.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
With Sojiro here, we'll actually get some points towards ranking him up by
doing this, but we won't rank up here either. Not much accomplished today,
but we're close to ranking up with both of them now.
Go ahead and go to bed once you are done.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
We'll meet up with Ryuji this morning. He wants to hang out with us after
work (a sign!). After that though, the entire day will go by, leaving us with
our afternoon.
Go ahead and hang out with Ryuji. He'll take us out to a new place today,
Ogikubo, which in turn will unlock the hangout "Ogikubo Ramen" and will end
up giving us another tutorial about hangout spots:
TUTORIAL - MAKING USE OF HANGOUT SPOTS:

.-��
|
| There are a number of hangout spots in the city such as shops, event
| venues, landmarks, and so on.
|
| Confidants will each have their own hangout spot that they like. If you
| go there with them, your bond will grow deeper than usual.
|
| You can find out about hangout spots by having Confidants invite you
| there or by reading about them in books. Try to find as many as you can.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once you're in the shop with Ryuji, he will start thinking about the old
days and Nakaoka. Ask "Are you worried about him?" when you can. He'll nod
and elaborate. Tell him "But you're doing great" after that to really make
him happy.
We'll get a rank up soon, unlocking another ability with Ryuji. Very nice!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: PUNK TALK |
| |
| Chance to step in after Shadow negotiation fails, |
| allowing a retry. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, we'll be back at Leblanc's automatically. It is a Thursday Night

which means a mineral bath at the bath house. Go ahead and head there now and
pay the 500 Yen to take a bath.
Looks like the same bunch of people as last time, but we will come out with
a [_CHARM +3_] increase. Not bad at all.
We'll go to bed automatically past that...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Not much going on today, school wise. We'll soon be free after school, with
two new IMs. Go ahead and read them, one from Ryuji and one from Takemi. They
both want to hang out. We're going to focus on Ryuji for now though. Go ahead
and save (I love saving) and meet up with him.
When you get the option, say you want to "go somewhere" and we'll get yet
another tutorial. This came is a bit overkill on tutorials...
TUTORIAL - SELECTING A HANGOUT SPOT:

.-��
|
| When you learn about a hangout spot, you can go there with one of
| your Confidants.
|
| Hangout spots can be selected from the map. Each Confidant has their
| own preferences; keep that in mind when visiting a spot with a Confidant.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Thankfully, we know of somewhere thanks to Ryuji, so select "Ogikubo Ramen"

and we'll head out to the hangout.
When you are asked about falling for the flavor, say "I'm in love" to make
Ryuji super happy. You'll also get a gift here: a [_RAMEN BOWL_], an accessory
for our room. Sweet.
Once you get back to Leblanc's, go ahead and try making some coffee. It will
take up time, but Sojiro will be impressed with us, which will help in the
future. We also gain some [_LEBLANC COFFEE_], which is awesome.
Head off to bed now and time will march forward...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
On the train, we'll be able to get some reading in. It's been awhile, but
let's take this opportunity!
o BOOK PROGRESS: THE ALLURING DANCER (1/2 TABS)
We'll be in class soon afterwards, with a new teacher. "Ms. Chouno" this
time, who is rather dolled up it seems. We'll get a series of questions here,
which seems a bit overboard for a word that I'm sure a lot of you already
know, but let's do it!
o QUESTION: First off, the "wunder" part probably means...
o ANSWER: Wonder
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: Next, the "Kind" part. That's probably...
o ANSWER: Child
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: So a "wunderkind" would be...
o ANSWER: A prodigy
For answering correctly, we gain [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Bah, I expected more out
of three questions!
This afternoon, let's go see Doctor Takemi. Be sure to tell her you want to
do a "Clinical Trial" and we'll head to the back.
We have a strange yellow liquid this time. Fun. She's got this stuff timed
to a "T" it seems. Our session is interrupted by a phone call, where Takemi
gets out of by saying she works there. Heh. Ask her what it was about and
she'll share how she's been blacklisted as a doctor, and why they call her
"The Plague".
She'll ask if it scares us. Here reply "I need the medicine" and she'll be
happy, saying that she's going to add more medicine for her guinea pig. Oh
lovely. More importantly, we get a rank increase!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: STERILIZATION |
| |
| Adds more healing items to the clinic. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get [_GUTS +1_] for being in the trial.
Soon we'll be back at Leblanc's, like usual. This time though, we are all
ready for a rank up with him. Offer to help him out.
Listen to him talk and soon he'll ask you what he JUST said. Choose the first
option, "Medium-Fine". He'll be happy but goes a little strict too, just for
good measure. Old habits. A phone call interrupts us though. Once he gets off
the phone, pick "Is it trouble?" based on the tone and he'll be cordial enough
about it, leading to a rank up as he's finding it harder and harder to believe
we are truly a trouble-maker.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Very nice! And that, ladies and gentleman, is April! Head to bed and we'll
move onto May and the start of our first full month living here.

MAY 1ST (SUNDAY 5/01)

---------------------
Our first day of the new month!
Well, it's Sunday, so we can go spend another whopping 5,000 Yen on the
Juice Hut. But hey, it's a free time skill point, so go do it (you'll be
happy in the end!). Go buy the "Vitality Aojiru" and you'll end up getting
a [_PROFICIENCY +1_] increase.
Also, while you are out and not committing to spending time, be sure to
buy another BIO NUTRIENT from the Underground Mall. One at least.
Next up we are going to spend some time at the diner. Order the "Hot Coffee"
this time and after several cups and quite a bit of loitering, we will get a
[_GUTS +1_] increase as well as [_KNOWLEDGE +2_] from the studying.
For the night, head to the bath house and we'll get a [_CHARM +2_] increase
from it. Not too bad, but tomorrow would be better. We'll head to sleep soon
afterwards.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 2ND (MONDAY 5/02)

---------------------
This is it... the day of reckoning...
We'll have an assembly at school today. It'll start out with the principal
but soon Kamoshida will come in and... well, you can watch the scenes. It is
quite jaw-dropping, that's for sure. There's quite a few scenes here, and at
the end we'll get a trophy as well:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Castle of Lust Falls" Bronze Trophy for witnessing
Kamoshida have a change of heart...
We'll meet up with the gang afterwards and will eventually decide that we
need to celebrate. Ann will decide on the venue as long as we're OK with it
while Morgana volunteers us for selling the medal (geez, thanks...).
We'll get an objective for all of this, of course:
o OBJECTIVE: Celebrate your success
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Sell the medal
This stuff will happen automatically on upcoming days though, so no need

to worry about it. We'll be back home soon afterwards.
For the evening, go take ANOTHER bath at the Bath House. Since it is Monday
we will get a nice bump and gain [_CHARM +3_]. We don't rank up though, but I
feel we are getting close!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 3RD (TUESDAY 5/03)

----------------------
Well... no school for the week, but today is a wash no matter what. Sojiro
basically forces us to help him all day. What a waste. He does learn about
the Kamoshida Incident on TV, but that's about it.
No chance to sell the treasure, but Morgana will tell us we have to do it

tomorrow, no matter what...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 4TH (WEDNESDAY 5/04)

------------------------
Sojiro will want help with dishes today, but go ahead and tell him that you
will do them later or something... our talk gets interrupted by a customer
though, someone you'll recognize. Investigator Sae already seems suspicious
about what's going on...
We'll be free soon enough. Time to sell the medal. Head to the weapon shop
and head in. Talk to Iwai and ask him to buy the medal. He's hesitant, but
will finally offer us 30,000 Yen, so go ahead and take it.
We'll also be given... a bag. Weird, but Iwai asks us to take it with us,
and you'll see why soon. Pick whatever answer you want here but we'll get
to leave soon enough.
Outside, go ahead and sneak a peek. A model gun? The best one yet, it seems.
Morgana suggests we buy it from him once we return it, but that's easier said
than done as you'll see.
For now, we'll get the [_PAPER BAG x1_].
We'll be back home soon. Once you are free in the attic, go ahead and
investigate the shelves by the bed for a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - ROOM DECORATION:

.-��
|
| Items you find from places you've visited can be used to decorate
| your room.
|
| Collect unique decorations from each location you visit to personalize
| your room.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
You can put the RAMEN BOWL there for now, if you wish (I did). Head to bed
afterwards. We don't have much of a choice, after all.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 5TH (THURSDAY 5/05)

-----------------------
Today is the day of the celebration!
We'll head there automatically and the feast will begin. We'll learn that
someone's made a "Phantom Thieves" website... wow... The police may also
question us, but for now it is time to celebrate!
Must... eat.. more... meat...
o OBJECTIVE: Get some food on your plate
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get some fish
Find and get the fish and you'll overhear people talking. We'll have to
do this at three more tables. Seems EXCEPTIONALLY nosy, but oh well...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get some meata
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get some rice

o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get some dessert
Once you are done eating, you'll get several scenes of adults just being
jerks. Man... these kids can't catch a break can they?
More importantly, we'll all decide to continue doing what we're doing, and
will need to come up with a name for our group. You'll have to give yourself
a name, which may be seen online so choose something personal to you.
We'll also get a trophy for this, which I'm OK with for sure!
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Phantom Thieves Formed" Bronze Trophy for deciding
to continue the life of a Phantom Thief...
We'll get a real life summary up to this point as our next target is pointed
out to us ahead of time... Heh, so weird. But at least we know who it ends
up being... Not much about him yet, but a face at least...
We'll return to our room afterwards. Our trip ended up costing us 24,000 Yen,
but since we got 30,000 that's a net gain. I'll take it! Very nice!
After a few messages with the team about our website and approval rating
we'll get a few new objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Prove your existence to society
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Search for your next target
Also, BE SURE to feed your plant, as we can finally feed it again. This is
a free bump of kindness. An upgrade of [_KINDNESS +2_]. Very nice. We are
forced to go to bed at this point.
We'll end up in the Velvet Room afterwards, talking to Igor and eventually
getting a rank up from him.

Caroline stresses contractors here, leading to another Tutorial Message:
TUTORIAL - FORMING A CONTRACT WITH CONFIDANTS:

.-��
|
| Sometimes, a person you meet in town can become your Confidant. If
| your goals align, you may be able to form a contract with them.
|
| As your relationship deepens, your rank with that Confidant will
| increase. This will allow you to create even stronger Personas.
|
| Do your best to find Confidants and strengthen these relationships.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Well, this seems like the third time or so they've told us this. Bah, let's
continue on to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 6TH (FRIDAY 5/06)

---------------------
We get a lesson in class (barely...), but it is still enough to give us

[_KNOWLEDGE +1_], so I'll take it!
After class, we'll meet up and talk about the website, as well as who to
target next. That will be a tough call, of course. Has to be someone big.
We'll also get a cut-scene during "Lunch Time". The Principal is of course
VERY suspicious abotu what happened and wants it investigated, asking a student
named Makoto Niijima to look into it. "Asking" is a bit light... he is basically
bribing and/or threatening her. What a scumbag...
And he seems to be a lackey as well... pathetic...

After that and some text messages with out allies, Mishima will come and talk
to us... HE started the Phantom Thief website... oh wow... oh wow, and he's
guessing we are the thieves. How observant!
Play it cool and tell him he can keep doing as he wishes. He'll read between
the lines and will continue doing what he wants, wishing to support us in any
way he can. This leads to a real-world scene and a brand new confidant...
.'��'.

| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Wow, we don't even have backup members yet and this is great. This will be
helpful for sure!
The day will continue on, as Morgana lectures about studying. This turns
into a tutorial though:
TUTORIAL - WHAT TO DO BETWEEN TARGETS:

.-��
|
| There are various things to do around the city before your next
| target.
|
| Try listening to rumors and visiting different locations. Perhaps
| you'll meet someone who has new information.
|
| Deepening relationships with your Confidants can bring various benefits
| to the Phantom Thieves. Use your time wisely to get the best results.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Yeah, yeah... this all sounds like something we've heard before, right?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Act like an honest student
Now that we have "KINDNESS RANK 2", we can hang out with Ann. Let's do it
now (her next ability is really helpful). For reference, if she isn't in the
classroom with you, you can likely find her in the Underground Mall...
We'll head to the Diner where Ann will talk about Shiho and what they've
been saying to each other. Tough stuff. Ask "Are you feeling better now?"
to score some points (3!). She'll talk about the ordeal next, so be sure
to pick "You might be right" for another three points.
This is a rather long talk. The next time you get a chance to say something
pick "I couldn't just ignore you" for more major points. At the end of the
talk, pick "Let's find it together" to really knock this out of the park.
Twelve points in one conversation. Amazing.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: GIRL TALK |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
She, um... she doesn't quite get what a "Strong Heart" is, does she...
We'll head home automatically, and will get another surprise: Sojiro is
trusting us even more! He's giving us the key to the place, saying we're in
charge of locking up now. This means we can leave Yongen-Jaya at night. Ah,
the true Night Life is finally ours!
That music... oh man, I'm in love...
I tried to give the "Untouchable" weapon shop guy (Iwai) his bag back, but
in order to do so you need "DAUNTLESS GUTS"... which we won't have for awhile.
What we can do is accept the two jobs we haven't taken yet. We're going to
work one of them tonight, which is necessary to unlock another Confidant (so
we'll need to suck it up... the money isn't bad though...).
For now, go to the "Underground Walkway" and go to the job board. Go ahead
and accept all of the jobs we haven't taken yet (one for the "Flower Shop"
Rafflesia and the last one for the "Beef Bowl Shop" Ore no Beko). Once you
have done that, head to the Central Street location.
If you haven't done it yet though, check out the DVD Rental place to the
lower right. Much like books, you can get skill points from watching DVD's
but they'll cost you and don't forget to take them back! Investigate it now
JUST to get a tutorial out of the way...
TUTORIAL - RENTING DVDS:
.-��
|
| You can rend DVDs to watch in your room from the rental shop.
| The rental period is one week.
|
| Multiple DVDs can be checked out at a time, but you will be unable
| to rent more until you returned the ones you've borrowed.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
What we want to do is to go work at the Beef Bowl Shop. You'll get another
tutorial for doing so though. I know they mention REMEMBERING ORDERS here,
but on this first day you don't need to do that. On other days you will, but
don't worry about it right now at least...
TUTORIAL - WORKING AT THE BEEF BOWL SHOP:

.-��
|
| Working at the beef bowl shop will cause time to pass, but in
| addition to receiving money, your PROFICIENCY will improve.
|
| Some days you will need to remember many orders at once. Try to stay
| calm. If you can make it through the rush, you may receive more money
| than usual.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Got putting in a day of work, you'll gain 3,600 Yen as well as a nice bonus
of [_PROFICIENCY +2_]. We'll head back home and go to bed automatically.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 7TH (SATURDAY 5/07)

-----------------------
Once we get to school, we'll have a question to answer:
o QUESTION: What do people generally call a woman who has a charm that
sometimes leads men to their doom?
o ANSWER: A femme fatale
Answer correctly for a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] buff. We'll be out in our hideout
after that when Makoto comes and confronts us. We seem to be losing our roof
hideout, which sucks. Morgana warns us about her... she's clearly a smart one
who's onto us...
Morgana will take us to the underground walkway where we'll learn about
"Mementos". Just enjoy these scene... oh my goodness. So good. A Cat Bus
scene... I love it. Really can't make this stuff up...
o OBJECTIVE: Change the target's heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Search for the target
_________________________________________

|__|________________________________________________________________________|__|
(-NOTE-) There aren't many new enemies in this area, but try to grab a
SLIME at the very least. It is resistant to PHYSICAL ATTACKS and
that can definitely come in handy...
This MEMENTOS DUNGEON is really short. Just be sure to attack everything you
can with ambush and get that slime up above. Max out your EXP as much as you
can here and head to the marker when you've done everything else and you'll
end up facing Shadow Nakanohara:
MINI BOSS: SHADOW NAKANOHARA
This boss is really nothing special. Keep your health up and zap Shadow
Nakanohara with Zio / Lightning whenever you can. Go all out on him and
keep that pattern up to win easily.
After the fight Nakanohara will seem to reform and will then ask us to
change Madarame's Heart. Huh... well then...
We also gain the "Bud of a Treasure" and an [_ATTACHMENT PEARL_] (which is

an accessory you can equip). The request is also complete:
o REQUEST COMPLETED: "Beware the Clingy Ex-boyfriend!"

We're not quite done here though. Morgana wants to show us something else...
o OBJECTIVE: Investigate Mementos
Here, be sure to fight the PERSONA'S again (again, max out those EXP gains
as it'll be helpful). Once they are all dead, go to the "DOWN" platform and
get out of the car. Head down the escalator and we'll investigate the wall
up ahead with Morgana.
Afterwards, we'll come home automatically.
We can now to go the "Mementos" dungeons, which are the dungeons that are
always available (thankfully). We'll get requests to come in here, like we
did up above. For now though, we must be patient for requests to come in...
We also see Mishima staring at us... which is kinda creepy...
We'll automatically go home afterwards and have a text message with the
group. If you have any questions about Mementos, you can ask Morgana now.
We'll be forced to go to bed after this...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 8TH (SUNDAY 5/08)

---------------------
We'll get a message from Mishima about the website and he'll ask to meet
up with us. We'll meet him automatically at the diner, where he'll explain
the "Phan-site"... *groan...
Pick "You've done good, kid" to make him happy (helps with moon confidant)
and then "You're really hyped for this". We'll get a rank up soon after that.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get a tutorial about Mishima and the Moon Confidant:
TUTORIAL - ADVANCING MISHIMA'S CONFIDANT:

.-��
|
| Mishima will now give you information on targets in Mementos.
|
| After making a target have a change of heart, meet with Mishima to
| deepen the trust between you. He will give you more information on
| new targets.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Now that we're done with that, remember that it is SUNDAY, so let's hit up
the SHOPPING CHANNEL. For sale this weak are [_CALMING MASK x2_] for 1980 Yen.
These are accessories that give you "+Resist Confuse", so go ahead and buy
them if you wish (I am).
Next, be sure to go to the UNDERGROUND WALKWAY and buy the Aojiru Drink
from the drink stand. This time it is "Nasty Aojiru", which ugh... just
sounds really bad, but go ahead and fork over the 5,000 Yen and we'll gain
[_GUTS +1_] for drinking it.
Do a SAFETY SAVE at this point!
Next up, let's work our job at the "Beef Bowl Shop". Again, this is going
to be necessary to get to a Confidant, but THIS time you are going to get
orders and you'll have to remember them all.
I have no doubt these are random, but you get more money if you get them
right (as well as proficiency), so be sure to get the orders right. Write
them down if you have to.
We'll gain 4,800 Yen from our job as well as [_PROFICIENCY +3_]. This will
lead to a RANK UP in Proficiency:
o PROFICIENCY RANK UP! (PROFICIENCY RANK 2: DECENT)
We also meet that politician during this job working, which is the flag we
were waiting for. We can hang out with him from this point on, but that's
the end of our day today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 9TH (MONDAY 5/09)

---------------------
Well, pollen season is here apparently. We will get our first Mementos
Request as the day goes on:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Bark and Bite of a Bully
TUTORIAL - CONFIRMING MEMENTOS REQUESTS:

.-��
|
| Check your information on a target by selecting View Requests at
| the hideout or by pressing the TRIANGLE Button to view Requests in
| the main menu.
|
| Once the information has been confirmed, you can begin by selecting
| Explore Mementos.
|
| Mementos can be explored even without a target, but time will pass as
| it would in a Palace infiltration. Exercise caution when nearing a
| time limit.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-NOTE-) Going for one request at a time is pretty lame and a waste of
time. It is really better to focus on pushing your stats and
confidants IMO. We'll wait for more requests for now...
Exit the hideout menu now and go down to the second floor. We're going to
go hang out with Ryuji today, and he's hanging outside our classroom. He'll
take us to "Protein Lovers Gym" which is... just wrong...
When he asks about "the stuff" go ahead and pick "Protein Powder". As you
work out together, you'll learn the track team is coming back. Huh. Here,
say "You seem conflicted". Turns out a Mini-Kamoshida is going to be in
charge, so replay with "So he's an asshole?".
After that, you'll get a rank up with Ryuji:
.'��'.
| �� |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our night time activity, head out to Shibuya Square and talk to the
politician giving a speech. His name is Toranosuke Yoshida and we're going to
start hanging out with him to gain a new Confidant. For now we're just helping
him out. When you come to it, state "The best interests of all?" followed by
"You have my support".
We'll hang out with him more later. For now, time marches onward...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 10TH (TUESDAY 5/10)

-----------------------
Today Makota lets us know she's still inspecting us..... wonderful... We

also get a question at school today:
o QUESTION: Who do you think is the origin of the term "magistrate's

patronage"?
o ANSWER: Minamoto no Yoshitsune
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
Once school is out, be sure to buy SP DRINKS from the cheap place by the
bath house back near our house. After that, go ahead and hang out with Ryuji
again. When it pops up, pick "We can train at my place" to hear why you
can't (Heh... I would totally be doing the ice cream and videogame training).
Soon you'll see some of the guys are picking on Nakaoka. We'll butt-in of
course. Pick "You guys should trust Nakaoka" when you can. Ryuji will go off
on quite the speech soon. When he's done and they are gone, he'll ask if you
get what he's trying to say. Pick "More or less" here, then we're going to
mess with him a bit by picking "Can you explain that?" and then "... Huh?".
All of this joking around will lead to a rank-up! Sweet!
.'��'.

| NEW ABILITY: HARISEN RECOVERY |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
As you can imagine, that is a very useful ability when it happens. Even though
as I type this, in recollection, it didn't happen a SINGLE TIME when I was
going through the next upcoming dungeon... Grrr...
OK, after that, let's go see the Speech Guy again. Yoshida. He's in the
station square like usual, so ask to help him and he'll ask why you want him
to teach us about speeches. Tell him "I want to do what you do".
During the speech, something happens nearby that may turn ugly. Here, choose
"Let's mediate". That doesn't end up the best, of course. Once you get the
next option to pick a reply, pick "That's campaign obstruction".
At the end you'll be asked more questions. Pick "You seem to have conviction"
for the first choice and "Have confidence in yourself" for the second choice.
After that, a deal will be struck, and your link will be started. You'll get
a real-world scene here and will start the Sun Arcana...
.'��'.

We'll move on to the next day soon enough...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Today is the beginning of "Exams Week". Which in true Persona fashion means
a few days in a row of NOTHING BUT QUESTIONS. Which really kind-of sucks as
that means we can't go out and do things, so these days are really just
wasted. No stat improvements, no confidant ranks... nothing...
Well, let's get to it:
o QUESTION: Although the line connects A to C, it looks like it leads to B

instead. What is this phenomenon called?
o ANSWER: An Optical Illusion

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: If how they're seeing things is different, it probably has to

do with this kind of information...
o ANSWER: Visual Information
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: What takes the visual information from your eyes and processes
it is the, uh...
o ANSWER: Brain
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: The brain processes visual information. So the reason why

people see things differently is...
o ANSWER: They have different cognitions
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Yep, time for even more questions...
o QUESTION: Which of the following expressions came from the name of the
position that Minamoto no Yoshitsune held?
o ANSWER: Magistrate's Patronage
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: What is the origin of the English word "talent"?
o ANSWER: The name of a sum of currency
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
----------------------
And yet another day of questions...
o QUESTION: What did the Greek philosopher Socrates say that evil is born
from?
o ANSWER: Ignorance
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: What's the least number of colors needed to paint Japan so no

two adjacent areas are the same color?
o ANSWER: Four
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Today we'll meet with the group before school and watch some scenes, which
includes a rare cut-scene. Very nice! Or, it would be, if we weren't actually
confronting a stalker...
Watch the scenes and you'll learn that the man actually has a reason for
stalking: he wants Ann to model for him. We'll meet Yusuke Kitagawa here,
who is Madarame's pupil. The guy that the memento shadow mentioned... hmm...
After a real-world scene (which I must agree with...), it will be the last
day of our exams. This part is based on your overall knowledge stat, so no
actual questions. Again, we won't do too well since our KNOWLEDGE IS LOW at
the moment, but this too is a time-tested PERSONA tradition: you NEVER do
well on your first exams. Heh...
We'll go home automatically after that, but we can't do too much. Just go
to bed and we'll soon wake up to a Sunday (man I love Sundays...).
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------
Today is the day of the art gallery.

Yusuke will meet us and takes off with Ann. Just as Ryuji wants to shirk off
we'll see Madarame giving an interview nearby... I wonder what this guy's done
to become our target? He's good at playing nice at least.
Watch the following scenes and soon Ann will catch up with us. We'll also
learn what Madarame's hook is.... huh.. well then... We'll plan to visit
Yusuke Kitagawa tomorrow for more info, but for now we'll go back home.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Check rumors about Madarame
Since it is SUNDAY, we can check the TV SHOPPING CHANNEL. Today they are
selling [_PROTEIN x4_], which does 30 percent HP restoration to one ally.
Not bad. I'm buying it and not using it! Hahaha!
Off to bed now, can't do much else unfortunately (this is getting lame...)
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------
We'll get a question at school today:
o QUESTION: Do you know who created the piece which sold for the highest
price back in the 20th century?
o ANSWER: Van Gogh
Answer correctly for your [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] increase.
After school we'll all meet up to go visit Yusuke. There's a funny scene
here with Morgana. Head towards Central Street (like you have before... on
the way you can see a homeless boy who provides a bit of a clue...) and after
that we'll have a scene with the SIU director.
Yusuke isn't exactly pleased that Akira and Ryuji are here, but upon some
questions he defends Madarame. Yeah, that figures, doesn't it?
Watch the scenes and when they are guessing names, pick "Museum" once you
get a chance... and... there it is...
Well, I suppose we are going to go exploring!
MADARAME'S PALACE
-----------------
We'll get some objectives here:

o OBJECTIVE: Check on the Madarame rumors
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the museum
MUSEUM ENTRANCE
---------------
We won't be able to go in the front direction or fight the guards there,

so for now just go right. Nab the [_ART PIECE_] here and go through the
walkway, nabbing another [_ART PIECE_] before you climb up the stone pillars
and use them to continue on. Be sure to make a small detour north for another
[_ART PIECE_] and then continue on. We can't fight the guards here, so go
north and up the steps. Nab an [_ART PIECE_] on the left and look at the
skylight you find on the right to continue. Head inside...
Down here, get the [_ART PIECE_] in front of you and turn around. Climb back
up the way you came for ANOTHER [_ART PIECE_] and then check out the paintings
below. They are... peoples names and ages. Weird...
Go into the next room now and hang a right. Look left to find a cubby with
an [_ART PIECE_]. Follow the room around to the corner for another [_ART PIECE_]
and then to the left for another [_ART PIECE_] (there's a LOT of these...).
Head west now for a final [_ART PIECE_] in this room and continue out the exit
to the west.
Our group will see Nakanohara's Painting here... the guy we found when we
were in Mementos. His painting... all of these, stolen? Plagiarized. Great.
Continue down the path nabbing an [_ART PIECE_] and on your way to the next
one you'll run into Yusuke. Heh. State "Madarame's Pupils" when you get a
chance. Things are getting clearer, but I've seen no abuse yet...
Continue on for a small scene showing something glowing at a kiosk up ahead.

Go down the stairs and take an IMMEDIATE LEFT for a CHEST. Sneaky. This one
has a [_PROTECT MASK_] inside. Go check out the pamphlet now to find it has
a map inside, the [_MUSEUM BROCHURE 1_]. Not all of it, of course.
Across the way is another chest, but this one is locked. Open it up to find
a wealth of goods: the [_TRAINING WHIP_], a [_PEARL_] (good money!) and a
[_SNUFF SOUL_]. Nice.
Head NORTH into the next room (the left stairs are gated off) and then go
BEHIND the statue in the middle for an [_ART PIECE_]. Examine the statue now
for a scene.
We'll be back to our room afterwards, agreeing via chat that we need Yusuke
to confirm things for us. Seems pretty clear to me, but yeah. We'll also get
a call from Ryuji before bed.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
-----------------------
Ann will agree to model for Yusuke today. He's not one to talk and draw,
apparently, so we're not learning much. Morgana will go on a scouting trip
though and finds a locked door. Interesting...
After some wasted time we'll have some confrontation scenes... these will
lead to... an unusual request. Nude modeling... because why not...
Our hideout will move too, which is probably a good idea just like Morgana
mentions. You'll be dropped off outside the hideout entrance, by the way:
"Your hideout has moved from the Shujin Academy Rooftop to the Shibuya
Teikyu Building Accessway"
We'll also get a message saying that Mishima has someone who wants to meet
us... Nakanohara. Oh wow... heh...
We'll go to bed soon though, no other choice. Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Today we'll meet up with Nakanohara here automatically. He'll actually

confirms plagiarism, and the fact that a student committed suicide as well.
In fact, even Yukuru wants to leave... wow...
We'll meet up at the new hideout afterwards and set the plans in motion.
Hehehe... June 5th is the time limit this time, although we MUST send out
the Calling Card by June 2nd to have time.
HOWEVER! We get this tutorial as well:
TUTORIAL - SPECIAL OBSTACLES IN PALACES:

.-��
|
| Occasionally, you will encounter Palace obstacles that are impassable
| and require interacting with the target in the REAL WORLD.
|
| You will need to leave the Palace to find the obstruction. Enter
| Palaces quickly to find obstacles and triumph over challenges before
| the deadline.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
This means that we're going to be making MULTIPLE trips to the upcoming
Palace... we just have no other choice. This is good for us though, as it
means we are a bit more free with our SP usage and this Palace will be a LOT
easier than the last one.
We don't want to go today though, so exit out of the hideout.
(-NOTE-) The next round of weapons and items are unlocked at this point
and they can be quite spendy. If you want, you can easily afford
just about everything here though. There is a "HEALING PACK" item
pack on PSN that you can download. It is FREE. One of the items in
the pack can be sold for a whopping 50,000 YEN. I would recommend
you use it to finance your gear at this point.
Let's look at the new gear!

Rejuvenating IV 3,600 Yen
(-NOTE-) I bought a couple of Healing IV's here. Great for long stretches of
dungeon crawling, for sure. I think I'm still shaken by Kamoshida's
Palace! Hahaha...
.��.
��`��
For the evening, let's spend time with Takemi. We are close by, after all!
As you do your Clinical Trial, you'll be interrupted by a pushy father and

his sick girl. It may not be our business, but tell her "Dr. Takemi will help"
when you get a chance and we'll become a nurse. Heh..
After that, say "You seem happy" next and we'll rank up soon.

We get [_GUTS +1_] as well...
Be sure to buy drinks from the machine outside for some cheap SP RECOVERY.
We'll also get our package from Sunday.
For the evening, we're going to make some coffee so talk to the couple here
and you'll make them leave (you need to talk to them a couple of times) and
then interact with the coffee machine at the end of the bar. We'll get some
bonus points with Sojiro as well as some [_LEBLANC COFFEE_].

If you want to help and send it responses that work, please
feel free! Also need to (at some point) play through this
again and add in persona "nicknames" (from before you catch
them) along with their personality type like I do later on.

MUSEUM ENTRANCE
---------------
We'll start out just where we started before. Make your way back inside of
the Museum, paying attention to the (odd) note below.
(-NOTE-) Try STEALING the Art Pieces from the areas we stole them from
before. Even if it LOOKS like NOTHING is there, you may still get
a treasure. It's kind-of glitchy if you ask me, but more treasure
is more treasure, so try at the very least.
(-NOTE-) If you can fuse anything with LUCKY PUNCH, it can help in this
next palace. Obariyon is who you want, as he learns it at level 9.
You can fuse one with KELPIE x BERITH, both of which you should
have by now. As a bonus, he also knows SNAP which is an HP move
that does "Gun Damage". Very handy for the upcoming fights as
well...
You'll soon make your way inside. Go ahead and try to leave to encounter
some infrared lasers. Yikes...
TUTORIAL - INFRARED LASERS:

.-��
|
| You can detect infrared lasers with THIRD EYE. If there is a wide
| enough gap, you can slip through by pressing the X BUTTON.
|
| This can also be done by holding the X Button as you approach, but
| remember that you can only pass through if there is enough room.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Slide under these lasers and continue on. Be sure to loot the pieces we've
looted already and you'll now be able to start attacking guards. Try to get
one of each using the "Persona Negotiation Guide", and kill any duplicates as
we need the EXP bad.
Continue to the hallway room (you'll fight four fights on your way there and
can re-loot everything) and on the way to the main entrance be sure to unlock
the gate on the LEFT. It leads back to the entrance we came from.
The two guards in the entrance are a bit tricky. Ambush the right one when
they are both walking away. The other may join in the fight afterwards or he
may respawn. Continue to the north regardless, past the lasers and get the
treasure behind the statue. Enter the northern door and everything from here
on in will be brand new...
1ST EXHIBITION ROOM

-------------------
The door to the left is locked, so head right and continue forward past
the lasers to find your first safe room.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: 1ST EXHIBITION ROOM
Save and heal up, the head back.
Right in front of you to the right is an [_ART PIECE_]. Nab it and kill the
enemy around the corner. To the right is a CHEST with a [_STRAW DOLL_]. Go east
now (this place is like a maze) and turn the right corner. Go STRAIGHT now and
kill the guard, the follow the turning path for an [_ART PIECE_]. Take the other
path now and fight another guard (beware the bird's MUDO / Instant Death attack)
then continue on, taking out the next guard on the right.
Be sure to go all the way LEFT/WEST and south here to find a CHEST. This one
has a [_MUSCLE ANKLET_] (give it to Ryuji if he isn't wearing one already). We
can head north now and take on the guard here.
Head west into the hallway and south. Keep going south and you'll find some
[_ART PIECE x2_] on your way to unlock the door we saw earlier. Open it up and
head north now. Left of the stairs is another [_ART PIECE_] so nab it and head
up, which leads to...
2ND EXHIBITION ROOM

-------------------
Nab the [_ART PIECE_] on the left and you'll come to a door we can't open
up. Head inward now and... oh, sparkles! Examine the Golden Vase and move
past it for a scene. Morgana will trip security. Jesus...
We have to break them all out, one by one. There's some objectives here,
but they are bothersome and this is easy enough. Once you regain control,
look around for a place you can jump up to. Follow the ledge to where the
guard is patrolling. Look on the wall nearby for a switch. You want to jump
down and hit it to release Ann.
Go meet up with here and take out that guard (he'll disappear if we don't
take him out now). Jump up and go back to the ledge again, then follow it
ALL the way around. Jump down and use Third Eye to see a blue suspicious
painting. Examine it and hit the button, then meet up with Ryuji.
Now, Morgana is going to be a bit more involved. What you want to do is to

look around for a VENT nearby. You have to jump up to it. Do so and crawl
through the vent. You'll be in the security room. Interact with the computer
to see you need a password. Head outside and you'll get it automatically...
Be sure to kill the guard as well, as he disappears if you don't...
Go back and use the computer to release Morgana, then meet up with him.
There'll be a scene here where you'll need to chase down a GEM and attack it.
BE SURE to attack it. You will face a "Level 10 Regent" here... or as Morgana
will call it soon a "Treasure Demon".
It is weak to NUKE damage, but we don't exactly have that, so if you can
use "Lucky Punch" with either your Persona or Morgana's (if you have either)
and pray for a critical so you can go all out. It is worth a LOT of money and
EXP if you can kill it. Use your HIGH DMG HP ATTACKS if you can't do that and
pray you get a critical either way.
If you can't get him, don't worry too much. Not the end of the world. We can
get him later. We get a tutorial here as well:
TUTORIAL - TREASURE DEMONS:

.-��
|
| Breakable objects may contain Treasure Demons, especially when the
| security level is HIGH. Defeating one will grant you a lot of
| experience points.
|
| If you can convince one to become one of your Personas, you can use
| it as fusion material. However, a Treasure Demon cannot be used in
| battle.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Head forward after the fight and get the [_ART PIECE_]. Jump up on the ledge
you find after that (there are lasers up ahead) and look at the drawing on the
floor. An illusion. Drop down with the guard isn't looking and take him out.
Be sure to explore the two bathrooms here: one has an [_ART PIECE_] and the
other has a CHEST with an [_ICE RING_].
Continue on past the lasers and go right when you can. Nab the [_ART PIECE_]
here and enter the SAFE ROOM up ahead.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: 2ND EXHIBITION ROOM
Well, that was easy. We don't have much left either. Head out and go straight
to nab an [_ART PIECE_] and then continue to a big room. There are guards up
ahead to the west... curator guards. Heh. Use the corners here and BE PATIENT
and kill them both.
Once they are dead, go back and up the stairs you passed. There's two turn
off points here. The top one has a CHEST with some [_PHYSICAL OINTMENT_] in
it. The turn a bit lower has an [_ART PIECE_] (I got a treasure demon, but it
is totally random).
Head back down to the lower hallway and continue onward. At the corner, stop
and look to the RIGHT for an [_ART PIECE_], and nab the second [_ART PIECE_]
against the far wall.
Continue into next room up north, and you'll be ambushed. Well, not
physically but environmentally anyways. Not to worry, use the pillars here
and kill the guards. Note the one who is TOUGH with the red aura. This enemy
is guarding a CHEST, and is indeed tough, having FIVE ONMORAKI. Use bullets
against them for an easy time, and claim the chest afterwards for your prize:
some [_EXORCISM WATER_].
Once that is done, look around the pillars for a painting that is a blue
color. Like before, this painting is hiding a switch, so interact with it
and the trap with withdraw. Take the doors out of here to the next area...
CENTRAL GARDEN
--------------
Head forward here and we'll be FORCED to go north. Head north for the
scenes and MOrgana will come up with an idea based on that door (remember
the one he saw in the Shack?).
DESPITE what Morgana says, DO NOT go back. Head south first and explore
the hallway they wouldn't let us earlier for a Safe Room!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CENTRAL GARDEN
NOW we can leave, but we got a new sub objective as well, which we'll be
forced to do on another day...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Disable the security system
At the entrance to the area, go register your Personas. Also, for the sake
of our CONFIDANT LEVELING, make SURE you have the following Personas in your
inventory (one of each - doesn't matter who):
o DEATH
o LOVERS
o CHARIOT
o HIEROPHANT
We should also be a high enough level to GUARANTEE that we can make the
Strength Confidant the twins wanted. It may cost you some coin, but if you
fuse BERITH x APSARAS you will get JACK FROST. Even better, with the (small)
Magician Bonus we have, he will level up and learn Mabufu, which means you
can turn him into the wardens right now (which you should):
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: TWIN WARDENS |
| |
| STRENGTH ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: GROUP GUILLOTINE |
| |
| Allows you to fuse three Personas to create powerful |
| new ones. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Our next task is to bring them a SHIISAA with the skill FREI. Don't worry
about this until level 22+ though. I'll remind you when it's time to look into
turning it in!
For now, here's our Infiltration Log:
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Infiltrated the Museum o Found proof of the rumors
o Infiltrated 1st Exhibition Room o Found a Safe Room
o Infiltrated 2nd Exhibition Room o Cleared infrared laser trap
o Found a Safe Room o Found the Central Garden
o Found a Safe Room
Once we're out, Morgana will share the plan to open the door in the palace,
but it involves Ann agreeing to model, um... nude. Hehe...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Change Madarame's cognition
We'll be back home at Leblancs. BEFORE you go to bed, go see the TV at the
bar, as it has a question for you (which is a chance to increase your stats):
o QUESTION: Which of the two would be considered a case of bodily harm!?

You be the judge!
o ANSWER: Using noise to cause distress.
You'll gain [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the right answer. That's all we have for
today, so go ahead and go to sleep now.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
----------------------
Grades are out today! How did yo do? If you're at Knowledge Rank 1, probably
not so good. Nothing major lost though. We'll get it higher in time, trust me.
We'll get a text from Ryuji about our Confidant Link, and after that we'll
automatically put Morgana and Ann's plan into action today.
The scenes here are pretty funny. I like all the clothes. Definitely a bit
of overkill, but funny. Enjoy all of the scenes and soon we'll be witnessing
the result of Ann and Morgana's plan in the Metaverse...
MADARAME'S PALACE
-----------------
o OBJECTIVE: Disable the security system
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head beyond the courtyard
CENTRAL GARDEN
--------------
Morgana will deliver on his word and soon the barrier will be down. Head
forward to reach a new area...
TREASURE HALL LOUNGE

--------------------
We are FORCED to fight a monster up ahead. Just Ryuji and Akira. This isn't
too bad actually: just buff up Ryuji and debuff the Sphinx if you can, then
wail away on it. It should fall in 3-4 hits. Keep your health up above 70-80
HP and you'll be ok.
We'll get a scene in the real world after the fight. Revealing! Enjoy them!
After that, we'll be back in the palace. Head forward and look to the right
for an [_ART PIECE_]. After that, ignore the door here and go straight ahead,
as the right corner has another [_ART PIECE_]. We can't go forward any further
than that though...
Go back to the security room and interact with the middle console to undo
the security in the courtyard. Head back to that courtyard now for some more
scenes.
These scenes get CRAZY as Yusuke falls into the palace with Ann and Morgana
since he was chasing them. Yeah... this has to be a shock...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Escape the Palace
Head back towards the exit whenever you gain some control and you will have
some scenes with Yusuke as he sees what is happening. As you keep going, we'll
get some more scenes as we FINALLY meed "Shadow Madarame". These upcoming
scenes give me goosebumps... so good.
Let's bring him justice...
This next fight is against Madarame's henchmen of course. We'll be fighting

one "EMBITTERED BLACKSMITH" and four "FOOLISH MONKS". These monks are all
weak to Ice / Bufu, which just happens to be what Yusuke excels in, so that's
half the fight in the bag. Lay into the blacksmith with Giant Slice and wipe
up anyone who remains, hitting the blacksmith with physical attacks until it
is over.
You'll get a scene afterwards of course, as Yusuke admits everything to you

(no need to hold back now) and learns who you are. He will join his cause to
ours. Excellent!
We'll be back home soon after that. Remember, we need to force the change
of heart to happen BEFORE June 2nd... so we've got time. That's good. We are
going to do some social stuff before going back in again.
Head to sleep again as Morgana won't let us do anything else... typical...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 21ST (SATURDAY 5/21)

------------------------
Sweet! We get a seat on the train!! Reading time! Choose to finish the book
you are working on as we'll get a nice bonus:
o BOOK FINISH: THE ALLURING DANCER (COMPLETE!)
This comes with a whopping [_CHARM +3_]. Very nice! At school we'll also
get a question to answer:
o QUESTION: What is the name of this ratio that Japanese architects and
artists have liked using?
o ANSWER: The silver ratio
Answer correctly for a bump of [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
Once school is done, head to the library and return "The Alluring Dancer".
Go ahead and borrow "The Gallant Rogue", which is a new book to the library
based on Yusuke's Persona...
Also, make sure you have a BIO NUTRIENT. If you remember, it is bought from
the plan shot in the Underground Mall.
After getting all of that business done, let's spend some time with Ann. She
is in the Underground Mall, conveniently enough. Talk with her and she'll also
unlock a new hangout location: the "Inokashira Park" destination.
So... this hang out is... odd. Ann will want you to talk bad to her so she
can power through it. Yeah... Well, let's play along. Say "You're... unique"
when you get to it, followed by "You're a hard worker". Next up say "Can we
stop yet?".
(-NOTE-) Do NOT say "I love you"... I had to replay a good chunk of game
thanks to that...
Next up try "This won't help your heart" (any choice is good) then tell her
"You're right". We'll be interrupted by her model work after that. Here ask
her "Has that happened to you?", then be sure to pick "That freedom sounds
nice" to end it off.
We'll get a rank up after all of this...
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
That Follow Up ability is nice. We got TWICE the chance now with her AND
Ryuji having it.
We'll be back home after that. BE SURE TO FEED YOUR PLANT for the free
[_KINDNESS +2_] boost. After that, go back downstairs and spend some time
with Sojiro (make SURE you have the Hierophant Persona). We won't rank up
this time, but it will set us up for later.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 22ND (SUNDAY 5/22)
----------------------
Whee! It's a free day!
Hit up the SHOPPING CHANNEL. Today they are offering something crazy:
[_ADHESIVE BANDAGE x50_]. Each one restores 20 HP, so they are good for
quick HP fixes. Worth it. Order them all for 1980 Yen.
Next up, visit the Underground Walkway to get our JUICE on. You know the
deal: pay up 5,000 Yen and we'll get the "Onsen Aojiru" this time. Drink it
to get a [_KINDNESS +1_] boost.
Now we're going to go hand out with Takemi (she invited us via IM after all).
Takemi will tell us the girl's been visiting her. Heh. Say "They trust you"
when you have a chance and after that she'll tell you what happened for her
to have become an outcast. Wow...
Say "I had no idea" next. She'll tell you what you're a guinea pig for next,
so say "That's good" when she does. After that, we'll have a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: IMMUNIZATION |
| |
| Adds support items to the inventory at the clinic. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We get [_GUTS +1_] like usual as well... yay! This rank also unlocks
ACCESSORIES in Takemi's shop. Check them out below:
.��.
`��
-$- Items -$-

Relax Gel 900 Yen Takemedic 3,400 Yen

(-NOTE-) I would recommend putting off buying ANYTHING until the Rank 7
discount kicks in (this is talking about the new accessories list,
of course). But man... that SP Adhesive... drool....
.��.
��`��
For the night, we'll get an IM from Yoshida. We're close to ranking up with
him as well, so go ahead and go meet with him.
He'll do a short speech. After the speech, go ahead and choose "I want to
improve my speech" here and then "One with Conviction" next. Finish with "That
was helpful" and we will rank up after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: DIPLOMACY |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'

,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MAY 23RD (MONDAY 5/23)

----------------------
Yusuke will ask us about the Palace today. So much worrying! We'll get a
question at school today:
o QUESTION: Well, your number's up. The root words of synesthesia are "syn"
and "aisthesis". What do they mean?
o ANSWER: "Together" and "senses".
As usual, answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
After school, and as lame as this sounds, go to Shibuya Central Street and
work at the Convenience Store job. We need it to unlock a mementos sidequest,
although that will take three shifts to do. The third one isn't for awhile
though.
In case you forgot, it is in the back of the area. It is the "777 TRIPLE
SEVEN" store, with the "24" hour icon on the map. For working here, we will
get around 2,800 yen. One shift down...
We'll be back home afterwards. We'll get our bandages from the shopping
channel. While we're at it, be sure to go buy SP drinks from the cheap machine
by the bath house, then let's go take a bath (it's monday) for a very nice
[_CHARM +3_] bump. We're getting close to leveling that up, I can feel it in
my bones!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today! Love it! Good thing we got that new
book, right!?
o BOOK PROGRESS: THE GALLANT ROGUE (1/2 TABS)
After school, Ann will want to hang out. Go ahead and meet her and hang out
today (the treasure can wait a bit). We'll automatically go to the park from
last time.
Here we can get five PERFECT responses. On the first one, pick "I know what
you mean". She'll be happy with that and relates with us. She'll share how
she met Shiho as well, but here say "That's hilarious". Heh...
After that, she will bring up the female thief from the anime... here pick
"Tell me" to learn that she... she's going to learn from villains. This will
go over well, but say "Good idea" for the brownie points regardless and...
she's a dunce... but say "Good luck with that"...
I wonder if she's scaring away dates at this point.... as in YOU, the reader
of this... you want to go out with her at this point? Heh... we'll rank up
at least:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
At night, go ahead and earn some brownie points with Sojiro. We can't hang
out with him, but we can make coffee for some guaranteed points with him (two)
and some coffee trivia. Heh...
We'll get some [_LEBLANC COFFEE_] as well, which is always nice...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
After being bothered a bit, we'll cut to STRAIGHT after school. Nice...
Go ahead and hang out with Takemi when she asks.... Once you get there, pick
"You seem annoyed" after the handkerchief scene. After that, pick "You ARE a
genius", then when she denies it, tell her "It suits you".
All of this will rank us up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also gain [_GUTS +1_] like usual.
We'll head home afterwards, but we'll get a call from Ryuji. Agree to go
with him right now and you'll unlock a new hangout spot: the "Tsukishima Monja"
location. Sweet.
Here we'll see two teachers talking to each other while Ryuji hides out in
the bathroom. Hah, this is too much. Listen in though and you'll uncover the
plot on the track team... just wow... are all the teachers at Shujin just
utter dirtbags?
Once we can finally pick a dialog option, pick "Let's talk to Takeishi" when
Ryuji gets back. Then after his speech, pick "I think it's cool, Ryuji". All
of this will lead to a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: INSTA-KILL |
| |
| Chance to instantly win a battle after a successful |
| ambush. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Wow, that skill has potential, huh?!?!? We'll be moving on to the next day
shortly afterwards...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
After the train ride and hint about Yoshida, we'll get a question at school.
o QUESTION: What was the name of the other famous novel that Sherlock
Holmes appeared in?
o ANSWER: "Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Burglar".

As always, answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Man, I just happen to love
all of the old Sherlock Holmes novels. Oh, this knowledge bump should also
FINALLY push us up and over the rank 2 hump:
o KNOWLEDGE RANK UP! (KNOWLEDGE RANK 2: LEARNED)
After school, Ann will ask to hang out with us. Go ahead and agree to meet
with her. She'll mention hanging out before seeing Shiho. When she mentions
the crepes, tell her to "Give it up" and she'll be bummed, but appreciative.
Soon we'll be interrupted by her model agency and she'll tell us to go with
her as she fills in. Hmmm...
Watch the scenes here as things just... turn out so bad. An airhead gets
played like a fiddle it seems. Pick "She's amazing, huh..." when you finally
get a chance to talk. Pick "It had grace..." after that.
The discussion will turn to fake crying after that, so pick "So how do you
do it?" after that. She'll share with you, but, uh... pick "I mean, that's why
it's "fake."" after that. Someone, Ann turns this all around and uses it for
motivation, which is amazing:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: CROCODILE TEARS |
| |
| Chance to force enemies to ask for less during |
| negotiations. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Wow, that ability is just very fitting...
We'll be back hom soon after that. There's another QUIZ on TV tonight, so
be sure to check it out:
o QUESTION: Which one is right? You be the judge!
o ANSWER: "Queen" of evidence.
You'll get a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost. After that, head to the bath house as
it is Thursday and we'll bet a nice [_CHARM +3_] bonus. Sweet!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------
Today is the day we're going to finish Madarame Palace. It will be one push
and we'll get all the way to the treasure (which isn't hard to do). Once you
are free, go to the hideout and choose to "Head to the Palace".
(-NOTE-) You can go buy stuff before you head out, if you wish. I did end
up equipping Yusuke, as I plan to take him to the final battle with
me...
We'll get a scene here where Yusuke will get a nickname. I happen to like
"Fox" really. We'll also end up getting a party organization tutorial as we
now have five party members...
TUTORIAL - PARTY ORGANIZATION:

.-��

| To change party members, speak with your teammates at the Palace
| entrance. You can also press the TRIANGLE Button and select STATS
| from the menu.

`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Choose who you want to go with you. He have some new objectives as well...
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Madarame's heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head beyond the courtyard
(-NOTE-) I recommend starting at the beginning of the area. You can get
all of the treasure that was here before... or, well, most of
it anyways. Save on SP and use physical attacks in the beginning
parts. You should be around level 15-16, so these first few enemy
types are definitely too easy...
Make your way to Central Garden safe room when you are ready. I
will be picking up the guide from there...
CENTRAL GARDEN
--------------
Head north to the courtyard for a short scene, then push on to the north.
We'll be in the Treasure Hall Lounge shortly.

(-NOTE-) Here is the REVISED list for Madarame Palace. This will cover the
newer Persona's you are about to discover. This doesn't include the
couple of higher level Persona's that you can't recruit though
(unless you just REALLY grinded for EXP before this dungeon). Just
remember that the SPHINX is weak to FIRE and the tall tower mini
boss absorbs physical attacks.

TREASURE HALL LOUNGE

--------------------
Kill the patrolling enemy here and continue. Nab the treasure in this room
as well (it should be back as well) and kill the next guard. When you get up
to the hallway we couldn't pass before, you'll get the [_MUSEUM BROCHURE 2_].
This place seems shorter, huh? An illusion?
Continue forward and go LEFT first. There's an [_ART PIECE_] over here and
in the very back a locked door and a locked CHEST.
If you can, open this one up for a [_WIND RING_], a [_PEARL_] and finally a
[_SNUFF SOUL_].
Go back now and take the east path. The north cubby is a dead end but at
the far corner is an [_ART PIECE_]. Nab it and head north. The east hallway
is trapped, but try to go down it to turn on the lasers. Go west now and in
the nearby room are some monsters. It's a bit tricky, but you can ambush both
of them and then nab a CHEST for some [_SACRAMENTAL BREAD_].
Head through the north door. The way east is blocked, but you can jump up
on the northern ledges here for an [_ART PIECE_]. The southern ledges have
nothing. Continue west to a BIG room with lasers and enemies.
This looks intimidating, but it is easy. Head SOUTH and SLIDE under the
laser when the guard walks south. From there just follow the south path and
ambush the guard when you can. Do the same for the north guard and then the
remaining guard (you can use the slide when the last guard goes south, just
like the first one, but be faster).
Check the southwest cubby here for a CHEST with a [_HIRANYA_] in it. Go
back and follow the western wall north, jumping the laser and looking into
the left room to see a security room. We need to get to it. Head east to check
the GIANT painting on the north wall for a scene... I'm getting some "Portrait
of Ruin" flashbacks....
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Check the giant painting
Go ahead and enter the painting. Go left when you can and then continue left
once you're able. Lots of dialog for a linear path. Use THIRD EYE if you wish
but this is easy. Emerge and you'll get some more dialog, then an [_ART PIECE_]
up ahead by a vent.
The vent is also very linear. Enter it and make your way to the other side,
where there's a CHEST to the right with a [_ZODIAC CHARM_] inside (gives us
some extra luck). Open the door nearby for a shortcut, which we'll use in a
bit, then head north to fight the (UNAVOIDABLE) Mini-Boss. He's a pain, but
get healed up and make sure everyone has some SP...
MINI BOSS: BRINGER OF MISFORTUNE
This guy isn't particularly hard, just a pain as he BLOCKS physical damage.
Don't even waste a turn: just pelt him with elemental magic until he falls.
Heal whenever someone takes a hit and have Ann put Attack Down on him if he
ever buffs himself with Attack Up. Do that and he'll fall in no time.
He will also drop the [_MEDIA SKILL CARD_].
TUTORIAL - SKILL CARDS:

.-��
|
| A skill card is a special type of item used to teach one of your
| Personas a particular skill.
|
| These cards can only be used on Personas Akira currently has in stock.
| The card will be consumed upon use, so employ them wisely.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Head past him and on the right side you can find a LOCKED CHEST. This one
has a [_BOLD EYEPATCH] in it, an [_AMETHYST_] and a [_STRAW DOLL_].
On the left wall, you can find an [_ART PIECE_]. Enter the security room and
try to interact with the console. Damn... we need a password. Bah, head back
and out the door you unlocked, then forward to the guards. Listen to them
talk about Madarame's Feet for a hint...
Kill them off and go east and south to the Madarame Statue. Examine it for
a scene and hint, then pick out the password (it should be 1120). Go back and
use it to unlock security on the floor...
From here, you want to go all the way right into the far right room. Go past
the laser hallway for that [_ART PIECE_] and then open up the door to the
northwest just to fill out the map. The door to the north should be next as
it is a Safe Room and some much needed quick travel shortcut goodness!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: TREASURE HALL
You should be good to go still, even after that mini boss. Heal up if you
need to, SAVE, and exit, taking the door on the right to continue.
TREASURE HALL GALLERY

---------------------
Head forward here and you'll see a bunch of GIANT paintings. It looks like
we will be moving through them again. Go RIGHT first for an [_ART PIECE_] and
a locked door. Continue down the other path to go past a door and get another
[_ART PIECE_], then drop down to the DESSERT painting. Ready for this?!
This is a mini-puzzle, but not too hard. First go RIGHT at the Camels and
into the SHRINE. Here, go INTO the Shrine instead of right. You'll be at a
CLIFF painting. Go to the right and move towards the screen, jumping out so
you can hit a button.
Excellent, we have a sea painting now. Go back into the cliffs. To do this
easy climb up the right side (go away from the screen, climb up twice, then
walk AWAY from the screen) to go back to the camels. We'll need to do that
climbing thing soon...
From the Camels, go RIGHT and the at the Shrine go RIGHT. We're on the BOAT
now. Once the dialog is done, go towards the middle of the boat and jump out
of the painting. You'll be able to hit another button.
OK, from the button go left and drop down to the Camel Painting again. Go
right to the Shrine, then INTO the Shrine to the Cliffs. Climb the cliff and
at the top go away from the screen to get to the new painting. From there you
just need to go RIGHT to exit. Puzzle solved.
Head forward and get the [_ART PIECE_] and then kill all three of the guards
in the area. Use the sofas here to hide behind. Once they are dead, the CHEST
is yours. Open if for a [_SNUFF SOUL_]. I feel like we're doing night and day
better than the first dungeon, SP wise...
Head down the hallway to the big room down below. Two more guards are here
to take out (use the sofa's for the far guard). There's [_ART PIECE x2_] here
as well, one on each wall. Also, note the bathrooms to the upper northeast.
HA! The bottom one has an enemy and ONLY an enemy while the top one has a
CHEST with a [_STRAW DOLL_]. Nab it and go back, heading north to leave this
area, into... a very weird area...
???
---
This area is based on MC ESCHER. Crazy stairs!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Traverse the twisted labyrinth
This isn't hard though. First, go up and nab the [_ART PIECE_]. Jump down
to the left now and go north, jumping down again. Go RIGHT here to a chest
that has a [_WITCH AMULET_], then go back left. Climb up the path leading
north, take down the guard, and go into the blue door.
This warps us up north, but the path is linear. Follow it down to another
[_ART PIECE_] and further to warp again. Continue down and you'll get a scene
by some of those paintings that influenced Yusuke (Sayuri). Just to the right
a bit is an [_ART PIECE_] and if you go south from the paintings and climb up
a level you get another [_ART PIECE_]. Loot for the win!
The paintings are showing us which way to go, by the way. The REAL one, if
you remember, had red clothing. Examine the red one and proclaim it REAL ONE
and a gold light will appear and open a door. Follow it and go through. We
will need to do this again. This time it is the painting WITH THE BRANCH.
Find it and proclaim it the REAL ONE and the gold light will open the way
forwards once again.
We have one last painting puzzle. Go forward past all the fakes until you
can drop WAY down. Do so, nab the [_ART PIECE_], and go to the last painting
down the stairs. Declare this one the REAL ONE (it has hair over the body,
and is red, and has branches) and the gold orb will fall DOWN. Oh boy. Go
into the blue door and then follow the path around to the golden door on the
right to head to a new area.
Go down the stairs here and get the CHEST for a [_CRIMSON RING_], then go
into the big room. Continue on to the big doors and into the new area...
MAIN HALL
---------
We'll get a scene here with Madarame. Head forward to the exclamation mark
and off to the right is an [_ART PIECE_]. Approach it now for a scene. It
seems Madarame himself is guarding the treasure... along with guards and even
lasers... this is going to be hard...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a way to steal the treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the main hall
For now, go west and into the SOUTHERN room for a Safe Room. Sweet:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: MAIN HALL
Heal up and save, then head north and nab the [_ART PIECE_] on the left and
go into the security room. Mess with the console. Do the shutters first and
then the lasers, then the power. Only the shutters work, and we'll get into
a forced fight. Use ZIO on those dogs, by the way, and then head back to the
save room and go right to the area we unlocked (Try to capture one of those
dogs in a separate fight, by the way... they are useful).
Head down that hallway and nab the [_ART PIECE x2_] on the way to the guard.
One is on the outcropping on the left, along with a LOCKED CHEST. This one
has a [_SAINT'S TUNIC_] and a [_PEARL_]. Saint's Tunic is a great protection
item! Equip it at once!
Kill the guard off and nab the [_ART PIECE_] past him, going south to a
walkway with another guard. Ambush him to see it's another one of those
"Bringer of Misfortune" enemies. If you have captured a Makami, you can use
FREI against it to take it down and then just ask for money or an item for
an easy time (or you could just nuke him like the first time). Nab the
[_ART PIECE_] at the end of the walkway no matter what you do.
Head north now and to the right is a CHEST with some [_MAGIC OINTMENT_].
Kill the guard up ahead now and enter the door straight ahead for another
Safe Room:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: UPPER MAIN HALL
Well, that seems... awfully close. Save and heal up, then exit, as we're
almost done. Head into the nearby room for some dialog. Now climb the items
in the back and go out onto the second platform, far side (don't jump onward)
and you'll see we are ABOVE the treasure. With a crane...
Head back into the room and find the controls on the wall. You see what's
up, right. Hehehe... pick "Use the Darkness" here and our infiltration route
is secured. Plan is in place. Sounds like it'll be fun too...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Leave the Palace

Go ahead and exit the Palace as we're done...
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Infiltrated the Treasure Hall o Found a Safe Room
o Disarmed Treasure Hall lasers o Got past the giant paintings
o Got past the painting maze o Infiltrated the Main Hall
o Found a Safe Room o Found a Safe Room
o Secured a route to the Treasure
We'll be back at home soon afterwards. Go ahead and go to bed. Morgana

won't let us do anything else, after all...

------------------------
Today we'll immediately be done with school... handy!
Hang out with Takemi today, as she messages us and we're about to get that
big fat discount...
While you are with her, Chief Oyamada will visit... wow... Butt in when you
can and say "This is harassment". He'll drop a real bomb after that though...
the girl she was testing is... gone.
Cheer her up with "Don't lose hope" (I wouldn' doubt he was lying to be
quite honest...), then ask if there's "Anything I can do?". This is about
all we can do for her... we'll rank up at least:
.'��'.

| |
| NEW ABILITY: DISCOUNT |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After the rank-up screen, pick "I'm glad you did" afterwards for more
points. We'll also get [_GUTS +1_].
(-NOTE-) To progress further with TAE TAKEMI, we have to have our CHARM
stat at "CHARISMATIC". Which means we're put on hold with her for
a little bit. Just FYI.
We'll be at home now. Go ahead and spend time with Sojiro while you can.
We won't level up quite yet, but we're getting there (his is pretty rough...
one of the rougher ones I've seen in a Persona game...).
Later on, we are woken up during our sleep... because Ryuji wants to go
see a movie. We'll get a tutorial here:
TUTORIAL - MAKING PLANS FOR TOMORROW:

.-��
|
| If you respond right away to a Confidant's invitation without putting
| it on hold, your relationship will deepen.
|
| If you immediately respond to a message, you will be unable to accept
| any further invitations for tomorrow. Thing before making a commitment.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Here, AGREE TO GO. We haven't hit a movie this month yet and it's a good
bonding time as well. Plus it's hilarious, as you'll see soon...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------
Hey, it's Sunday!
We'll go see the movie with Ryuji today. It's a spoof on "The Dark Knight
Rises" and is just... so good. Love the voice acting they put in here...
For seeing the movie, we'll get a whopping [_KINDNESS +3_]. After it is
done, be sure to pick "They do" for some points with Ryuji.
Next up, let's watch the SHOPPING CHANNEL. Today they are selling some
[_WILD CLOGS x2_] for 4,980 YEN. These are accessories that resist fear. I'm
buying them (I'm just buying EVERYTHING from the shopping channel...). ALSO,
since it is Sunday, don't forget to go to the UNDERGROUND WALKWAY! Spend that
5,000 Yen on the juice for some "Seafood Aojiru". This weird stuff is going
to give us [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
For the evening activity, let's go see Yoshida. He'll have a visitor shortly
into the speech, an old Diet member like he was. Pick "Yes, Mr. Yoshida told
me" when you get a chance, and once he asks what drew you in, pick "His
Speaking Skills". We don't get many points, but we do get a rank up! I'll
take it!

----------------------
We got a seat on the train today! Sweet! Let's continue our reading!
o BOOK FINISH: THE GALLANT ROGUE (COMPLETE!)
We get a whopping [_GUTS +3_] for finishing the book, which is enough to
push us into the next rank!
o GUTS RANK UP! (GUTS RANK 3: STAUNCH)
Once we get to class, we'll also have a question to answer:
o QUESTION: Who was the pirate who said that he hid his treasure in a
certain place just before he was executed?
o ANSWER: William Kidd
Get it correct for the usual [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
Once school is done, head to the library and return "The Gallant Rogue".
We may as well pick up "The Great Thief" while we are here...
Now it is time to get this Palace thing over with... if you wish, you can
buy some cheap SP drinks by the bath house and use this time to visit the
Clinic and Airsoft shop.
(-NOTE-) With Death Rank 7, you can buy the SP Adhesive 3 for 50,000
Yen. This is a HUGE purchase, but if you've been going through
the Palace and getting treasure all over again (as well as doing
all those fights), you can afford it. It gives you a WHOPPING 7 SP
per turn. You can use this thing with weak enemies and GUARDING to
really refill your SP. And don't forget you can swap this thing
around to other party members as needed...
Go ahead and meet up at the hideout, then send out the calling card...
We'll be home soon. About all we can do is craft, but BE SURE TO SAVE HERE.
You can actually make up to FOUR LOCKPICKS and gain [_PROFICIENCY +3_] if you
are lucky.
You USUALLY will get three lockpicks and proficiency +2, but you can reload
and keep going until you get the better results. It is a PAIN, trust me, but
it is worth it for the stat increase and extra lockpicks.

MAY 31ST (TUESDAY 5/31)

-----------------------
Todaay is the day we steal Madarame's Heart... the first few scenes are
fantastic. Madarame goes on full alert as we begin the operation...
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Madarame's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Steal the materialized Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the crane controls
While you COULD run through the whole place again if you wished, I would
advise that you at least re-steal the high value treasures from the "Main
Hall" and "Upper Main Hall" areas. You can find Pearls and Amethyst fairly
easily and most of the enemies seem to be gone for some reason...
Also, be sure to get any locked chests you may not have gotten last time.
Those four lockpicks we made will help a ton with that!
Once you are ready, go to the Crane Control room, which is just by the
Upper Main Hall Safe Room. Once you interact with them, you'll put the plan
in motion and the treasure will be yours. Just go out where Morgana is to
see what he came up with. We'll have to leave after that...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Escape from the Palace
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look for a path to the exit
(-NOTE-) For this upcoming BOSS FIGHT, I recommend Akira, Ryuji, Morgana
and Yusuke. Only Yusuke if you've been leveling him and he has
some updated gear. DEFINITELY take him if he has learned the
skill "Vicious Strike".
Jump to the other hanging platforms now and go out the window. We'll have
to make our way down after that. Just follow Third Eye and jump down wherever
you see the exclamation marks and you'll soon find yourself in the courtyard.
We'll get a scene here. Several of them, really, as there are some very big
revelations, especially for Yusuke. This all leads into a boss fight, so get
ready!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: ICHIRYUSAI AZAZEL MADARAME ~ |
| �� |
| |
| This fight is a battle of attrition... sort of. As you can see, we |
| aren't fighting against Madarame here, we are fighting against four |
| different paintings. The idea of this fight is similar to many other |
| JRPG boss fights: destroy the paintings and MADARAME comes out... THEN |
| you can hurt him. We'll need to do this at least twice... IF you are |
| over-leveled (Level 19-ish or so...) and have all the best equipment. |
| You may have to do this three times, but there's help on the third time |
| should it come to that... |
| |
| First, let's go over the paintings and how to take them down. There's |
| some key things to know here first, which in itself will help you out: |
| |
| o Painter's Right Eye: DRAINS ELEMENTAL ATTACKS |
| o Painter's Left Eye: DRAINS ELEMENTAL ATTACKS |
| o Painter's Mouth: DRAINS PHYSICAL ATTACKS |
| |
| Those are the big ones (the mouth takes damage easily). Now, each of |
| these paintings can attack (see their moves below, like normal) and |
| here's another kicker: these pieces can RESURRECT each other. All but |
| the mouth that is... he tends to just do physical attacks, but the nose |
| and eyes can resurrect the other pieces, albeit at LOW HP (low enough |
| that a strong attack will re-kill them) and it takes up their turn, so |
| they don't attack for that turn. |
| |
| Now, the gist of this fight is to take out the EYES and MOUTH as fast |
| as you can. The best way to do this is to use Ryuji's "Rampage" attack |
| and Yusuke's "Vicious Strike". These two moves will just devastate the |
| paintings. Morgana can help here with healing duties (since he has Media |
| which can be helpful) and Akira can help with buffing (put Attack Up on |
| Ryuji and Yusuke if you can) as well as healing and attacking... Keep |
| this pattern up until the top three paintings fall and then bombard the |
| mouth with magic until Madarame comes out... |
| |
| Once he does, you get a free "All Out" attack but after that you get |
| TWO ROUNDS to attack. Go ALL OUT on him and try to get this all done in |
| two cycles. If you don't, you'll get a third cycle (of course), but it |
| comes with a hook: you can send out someone to cover Madarame with PAINT |
| just like his "Artist's Grace" attack. This makes ALL the Paintings weak |
| to anything, so you can use a single Rampage and take them all down with |
| an All Out attack, then get to Madarame and finish things. |
| |
| And that's all there is to it, really. Keep your health up like always |
| and use those tips above to take Madarame down. Check out the moves |
| below as well and enjoy the fight! |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Thunderclap: This is just a single lightning move, much like Zio. |
| Just pray that it hits Ryuji and not someone weak to it... You'll |
| see the eyes using this attack. |
| |
| - Tarukaja: This move is one you're likely familiar with. It is the |
| "Attack Up" move, and the eyes usually just use this on the mouth, as |
| again the mouth is a physical attacking machine. You can debuff the |
| mouth if you wish, but I would just heal through the extra damage. |
| |
| - Maelstrom: This is a single-target wind move. Much like Garu. Again, |
| you want someone like Akira or Morgana to take these hits ideally as |
| they can get some wind resistance to help out. The eyes use this |
| attack. |
| |
| - Bite: This is the mouth's physical attack. What else is he going to |
| do? This can do 70-80 damage fairly easily with the ATK UP spell on, |
| so try and keep healed up at all times if you can. |
| |
| - Silent Snowscape: This is a single-target ice move, much like Bufu. |
| Hope and pray it doesn't hit someone weak to it, like all the element |
| attacks that they eyes will use... |
| |
| - Rakunda: Another buff spell. This one decreases your defense. You'll |
| see this a lot after the "Artist's Grace" spell, which can be a pain |
| but the eyes can throw it out there randomly as well. |
| |
| - Restore: This is the REVIVAL MOVE that I talk about up above. It will |
| let the paintings revive themselves... all but the mouth, as it exists |
| just to attack. Again, when the paintings use this they skip their |
| attack move and the revived painting will come back at very low health, |
| so don't let this move get you down! |
| |
| - The Artist's Grace: This attack is Madarame's special attack (and is |
| usually followed by Rakunda). You will change colors here to all black, |
| like you are covered in paint. What this actually does is makes you |
| vulnerable to all attack types. This means that you're going to take |
| MASSIVE damage. The best things you can do here are to buff up your |
| defense and keep your HP topped up, and that's just for the chance to |
| stay alive. It may be better to just keep attacking and killing off |
| the paintings and use a REVIVAL BEAD afterwards. Up to you and what |
| items you have. If the paintings are almost dead, wipe them out first. |
| |
| - Madara-Megido: This move is actually a hit-all move, but does VERY |
| LOW nuke damage. I'm talking 10 damage per character. Just make sure |
| your main character isn't weak to it and go full on attack. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Whew, what a fight. Good chance you'll get some level-ups on this one. We'll
have to make another quick escape as the team finds out there was someone
ELSE in the Museum and tells Madarame to change his ways...
We'll be at home soon and we'll have a talk with Morgana about who he really
is. Pick what you wish of course. He's very... imaginative, that's for sure.
We'll get an automatic rank up with him as well:
.'��'.

We'll go to sleep now, but we'll have a meeting with Igor, who is very
pleased with us. This leads to another rank up:

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our nighttime activity, let's go take that "Big Bang Burger Challenge"
we've heard about. I was hesitant on this at first, but it's different than
other Persona challenges. You'll get a tutorial about it as you enter the
burger place on CENTRAL STREET:
TUTORIAL - THE BIG BANG CHALLENGE:

.-��
|
| Taking the Big Bang Challenge will cause time to pass, but improve
| your GUTS. Accepting the challenge costs money.
|
| The challenge is conquered if you can eat the entire Big Bang Burger.
| To succeed, you will need KNOWLEDGE, PROFICIENCY, and GUTS.
|
| Prevail and you will receive a prize and an increase in a stat other
| than GUTS. Win or lose, your GUTS will always increase.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
With our Level 3 GUTS, we have this in the bag. Don't taste, just swallow!
Once we win, we'll get the [_2ND MATE BADGE_] and we'll be told that new
challenges await us. Hehehe... This is a bit better than I remember previous
Persona games, that just had the one ultimate eating challenge that you needed
MAX STATS for to pass.
We'll get a bombardment of stat points here: [_GUTS +1_], [_KNOWLEDGE +1_],
[_CHARM +1_] and even [_PROFICIENCY +1_]. Very nice! The badge that we got
is an accessory that gives +10 HP as well, by the way. That's it, so lets
head home and go to bed.

JUNE 2ND (THURSDAY 6/02)

------------------------
Ryuji will come find us during lunchtime and will show us a "Housekeeping
Service" flyer. He's... kinda transfixed on the maid thing. Heh... Ryuji
will want to try it out and then Mishima will come in wanting in on it as
well... This is getting out of hand! Agree to help them out and this will
turn into "Operation Maidwatch". Oh wow...
After school, head to the book store, as we're going to buy "Vague". We're
going to read this on the train soon. I actually end up buying everything.
The bookstore is on CENTRAL STREET by the way, down near the south. Here's
what they sell:
.��.
( - TAIHEIDO BOOKSTORE - )_________________________________________________

Weekend Parks 1,800 Yen Vague 1,800 Yen
Nightlife Hotspots 1,800 Yen Medjed Menace 1,200 Yen
Wise Men's Words 700 Yen Tidying the Heart 700 Yen
Buchiko's Story 700 Yen Playing the Game 700 Yen
(-NOTE-) I just ended up buying everything. We have to eventually, as we

have to read everything for a trophy. Stock up!
.��.
_________________________________________________( - TAIHEIDO BOOKSTORE - )
��`��
After that, go ahead and work the Convenience Store job. We get a bit less
money today, but that's another shift down that we needed to do.
As you head home, you'll get a message from Mishima. He REALLY wants to go
do the operation! Before we go out to him though, check the TV for a question
and some free knowledge!
o QUESTION: Which one of these statements is true? You be the judge?
o ANSWER: Probation officers are unpaid.
THIS one seems wrong to be, but pick the answer up above and you'll gain
a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost.
OK, let's go do "Operation Maidwatch" now. Go meet with Mishima and tell
him we're doing it! You'll meet up with Ryuji soon, who has a vacant apartment
that we'll be using to do this at. Which... is actually pretty smart. Go ahead
and tell him "You're a Genius, Ryuji!" for three bonus points with him.
Go ahead and man up and do the calling yourself. Soon Ryuji and Mishima
will totally flake out on us as the maid arrives. "Becky" will introduce
herself. Watch the scenes here and pick what you will, and soon you'll learn
that "Becky" is actually your HOMEROOM TEACHER, Sadayo Kawakami. Oh wow...
Agree not to tell for now and it'll just be a wash all around. At least
we aren't paying anything. We'll be done for the night after this, so we'll
head to bed...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 3RD (FRIDAY 6/03)

----------------------
Today we get a seat to read on! Go ahead and read that "Vogue" that we bought
and we'll unlock a new hangout spot! "Takenoko Street" in Harajuku. We can
take people here and we're slowly filling out the map. Plus, that is another
book read (since it is so small!)
o BOOK PROGRESS: VOGUE (COMPLETE!)
After school, Morgana suggests we talk with Kawakami. Heh... She is on the
2nd Floor of Shujin Academy, in the middle walkway south of your class, and
is being drilled by Chouno. Tell her "You have another question" to clear up
Chouno's suspicions. We'll be pulled aside after that as Kawakami gives us
her personal work information... nice!
(-NOTE-) Be sure you have a TEMPERANCE PERSONA in your lineup at this

point! Go visit the Velvet Room if needed. Also, you may as
well sell your TREASURE as we'll be spending some money coming
up soon!
Once that is done, let's spend time with Ann. She's at the Underground Mall
like usual, but we're not going to get a rank up. With the place we unlocked
though we can get a special item while getting brownie points, so agree to
hang out with her, go "Somewhere Fun" and pick "Harajuku".
Pick "Yeah" for the first choice here and in a bit we will get a gift from
Ann: an [_IDOL POSTER_]. Not bad! We can use this on our bookcase once we
get home...
Go ahead and do that when you get home for a Persona 4 callback! The poster
is none other than Rise-chan! Nice! Next up, let's go ahead and try calling
Kawakami. Use the YELLOW PHONE at the bar to do so (no call history) and pay
the 5,000 YEN fee.
We'll strike a deal with Kawakami once we meet her. Pick "I was lonely" here
and she'll asses the situation and come up with the deal: we can skip class
now and then as long as our grades are OK. In return, we don't rat her out.
Sounds fair to me!
And you know how contracts go in Persona...
.'��'.

Perfect! Man I love this game! Hahaha...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 4TH (SATURDAY 6/04)

------------------------
We'll get a question is class today:
o QUESTION: The original blazers were named that thanks to a certain

quality they had. Any idea what it was?
o ANSWER: They were brightly colored.
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Next we'll be free to do whatever

we want. Read the note below if you want a cheap recovery item, then skip
to the next paragraph.
(-NOTE-) You can get Melon Pan and Moist Katsu Bun from the "Yon-Germain"
Bread Shop by the Hideout Accessway. I'd buy the Melon Pan at
least as 1,000 Yen for a FULL HP REVIVE item is really good.
After that, let's go spend some time with Ann. She'll take us to the Diner
for this hang out. She'll share her last time with Shiho so respond with
"It seems that way" for some points. Pick "Was she working hard?" after that
to learn how hard she is working at rehab. Poor girl. Pick "It's because
you're kind" after that, then "Show her your own strength" for some good
points. We'll rank up shortly after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Chance to cure status ailments inflicted upon party |
| members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet, that ability will help for sure.
We'll be back home now, and we'll get a message from Kawakami. Let's go
ahead and call her tonight and she'll come over (which makes me wonder what
Sojiro is thinking of this!).
Once she is cleaning, pick "It does" here and then shortly after that, pick
"Absolutely not!" after she drops character (hehe...). Ask if she needs money
after that and you'll learn it is for her little sister. Aww... Pick "I
requested you" after that so she doesn't feel bad and we'll rank up shortly
afterwards:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
That's it for today. Tomorrow will be a memorable one as well!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 5TH (SUNDAY 6/05)

----------------------
Hoooray for Sunday!
We'll get the Madarame fallout today. Oh wow... on the big screen, too!
This ends up fairly similar to the Kamoshida event, really, although two
particular people are witnessing it on TV. We'll have to deal with them
eventually...
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Museum of Vanity Closes" Bronze Trophy for
witnessing Madarame confess to his crimes...
We'll get a real world scene after this, as the detective grills us even
further and presents the third target we went after in the past... this time
it's a criminal named "Junya Kaneshiro". Oh wow...
We'll all be at our hideout, which seems... a bit too busy right now. The
cops aren't a bother, just tell them you were going out for Tea and they'll
leave you alone. Makoto though... she's all but called us out...
Soon we'll be back at home. Our morning is wasted, but we can still do our
normal Sunday activities. We got some objectives as well:
o OBJECTIVE: Prove your existence to society
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Prepare for the next operation
Go ahead and check the TV here and it's all about Madarame. No shopping
channel today, which makes me sad. Head to the Underground Walkway though
and get the "Beauty Aojiru" for 5,000 Yen. It'll give us [_CHARM +1_], so
gulp it down.
Let's meet up with Yoshida now, since he messaged us. He'll get the crowd's
scorn faster than usual today, it seems. Pick "You're annoying the audience"
here and then "What do you think?", followed by "The ex-convict has a point"
to hear Tora really step up. Ah, so good to see!
Pick "I just spoke the truth" once the speech is over. The man will come
and thank us afterwards. Positivity all around! We'll get a rank up after
all of that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our rank up, we'll also get a nice bonus of [_CHARM +3_]. Very nice!
That's it for today. We'll see a HUGE increase to our popularity, as you'll
see by the poll numbers...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 6TH (MONDAY 6/06)

----------------------
Ryuji will forget that we're supposed to change clothes today. Go figure,
right? How can the guy record teachers and use vacant apartments, but forget
clothes? Sheesh!
We'll meet up at lunch. A trip is coming up that we'll need to go on. A

TV station, huh? Hmm..
After school, we'll get a new request from Mishima. We're getting a few
now, but not enough for my taste...
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Sadism Is Just a Sign of Love
After school, we'll have time to hangout with someone. Ann isn't ready for
a rank up, but we can get a new item if we hang out with her. Go pick her up
at the Underground Mall and take her to Shibuya (which is the Wilton Buffet).
Once you are here, pick the "Sounds like a good plan" option and then we
can pig out! Or well... eat modestly! We'll get a [_CHOCO FOUNTAIN_] for
coming here though, which is good.
For our evening activity, BE SURE to use the Bio Nutrients on the plant in
your room for a nice [_KINDNESS +2_] bonus. Sweet. Since it is Monday, go
spend some time at the Bath House after that and we'll get that [_CHARM +3_]
bonus, which is enough to rank us up!
o CHARM RANK UP! (CHARM RANK 3: SUAVE)
Sweet. Two stats are at three now, and only two dungeons in. Not bad! We'll
go to bed automatically afterwards.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 7TH (TUESDAY 6/07)

-----------------------
After some chatter on the train, we'll be at school and we'll a question
we have to answer:
o QUESTION: What are red king crabs most biologically close to?
o ANSWER: Hermit crabs.
Wow, I actually knew that one! We'll get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the right
answer like normal. We;ll also get a text from Ryuji, who wants to hang out.
Go ahead and meet up with him and he'll take us out to eat.
Sounds like the track team is going on their own path. Pick "Are you
satisfied now?" here and then "Don't do it" after that (which seems like an
odd thing to say, but we're in it for the points!).
He'll start talking about us after that, so pick "I never realized that"
when you can and then "I agree" after that. We'll rank up soon after:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: PROTECT |
| |
| Chance to shield Joker from an otherwise fatal attack. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Oh, now THAT is a good ability. We're so close to maxing him out now, too!
Sweet! For the evening, let's buff up our knowledge a bit. Spend some time
at the DINER on Central Street and order hot coffee. This will end up giving
us a [_GUTS +1_] boost and a [_KNOWLEDGE +2_] boost. Not bad.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 8TH (WEDNESDAY 6/08)

------------------------
o QUESTION: With the advent of the color TV, something else started
appearing in color. Do you know what it is?
o ANSWER: Dreams.
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] like normal.
At lunch, Ann will learn about what the principal and Makoto are up to.
We'll get a scene with them as well. Wow... that principal is just pathetic.
What a horrible guy...
After a short text session, we'll be done with school.
(-NOTE-) For some reason, I initially didn't write what to do after school
on this day. I must be going crazy, eh? Thanks for the messages
pointing this out, everyone!
On this afternoon, go ahead and visit the Shibuya Diner once again and
order hot coffee. This will end up giving us a [_GUTS +1_] boost and a
[_KNOWLEDGE +2_] boost, just like yesterday.
In the evening, hang out with Sojiro at Leblancs again. We won't rank up,
but we will the next time we spend time with him (which may not be for a bit,
but it will come). We'll advance to the next day after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 9TH (THURSDAY 6/09)

------------------------
Today is our field trip to the TV station. We'll be roped in to helping

with the production, but pick whatever responses you like today...
We'll also get to meet a familiar face: Goro Akechi. He's already been
seen before of course, but this is the first time we've met him face to
face.
All of the prep work won't last all day though. We'll end up meeting
together as a team afterwards and will talk about what to do next..
After the scene with Gorl Akechi, a new hangout spot will be unlocked:
Suidobashi (Dome Town).
Enjoy the visit even if we can't really do anything. Another hangout

point unlocked though. I'm happy with that! Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 10TH (FRIDAY 6/10)

-----------------------
Today is the day of the actual TV show. This turns out to be quite interesting
though, as Goro Akechi shares his thoughts on the Phantom Thieves AND the fact
that he's working with the Police to search for us. Oh wow...
We'll even get in on the conversation. Pick whatever option you wish here (I
personally picked the justice one... hehe...).
After the program, Akechi will find us and talk to us. This actually turns
into a real-world scene and then a confidant rank...
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: GORO AKECHI |
| |
| JUSTICE ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be at home soon enough, even though our team is obviously affected by
the program. We get a change of objectives to prove it!
o OBJECTIVE: Prove your justice to society
For our nightly activity, call and hang out with Kawakami, with the Maid
Service. This will pay off in the end, trust me, but the 5,000 Yen cost sure
does hurt... plus we don't rank up right now, but we are virtually guaranteed
a rank later...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Annoying chatter on the train today, as well as the walk to school. We

will get a question at school today:
o QUESTION: Can you imagine how much gold has been excavated by humanity
over the course of history?
o ANSWER: Three Olympic-sized pools.
We'll get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost like usual.
After school we'll meet up with the gang and learn Yusuke is leaving the
dorms. Oh wow... where's he going to go... and of course...
Our place...
Well... nothing to do here except watch the scenes. There's quite a few
scenes here and at one point we'll need to go find a pot...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Borrow a pot
Talk to Sojiro once you go look for a pot and he'll mention that Ann asked
him to take Yusuke in. Sounds like he's going to let it happen. Wow... makes
you wonder if he can say no to women?
Enjoy the many scenes here as you all get to know each other a bit better.
Probably about time, right? Lots of good scenes. Ann won't participate in
our bath plans though. Shame... answer however you want here and in the end
go to bed as Morgana won't let us do any more...
We'll have a visit with Igor during our dreams... which results in a rank
up, with an ability that is just VERY nice. Two extra slots! Heck yeah!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SUPER STOCK |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll move on to the next day after that...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
Makoto gets question again today, by Akechi this time. Makoto seems to be
believing in us more and more, isn't she. Heh...
We'll also learn that Yusuke ISN'T going to be living with us. I was...
kind-of looking forward to that, actually. We'll learn some things from his
chat with Sojiro though, and the famous painting "Sayuri" will be displayed
at Leblanc from now on. Wow...
We'll learn it all for ourselves soon enough, when we head downstairs. After
that, it is SUNDAY! Head to the Underground Walkway and buy the "Vitality
Aojiru" there. It will give us [_PROFICIENCY +1_].
Next up, let's go visit with Ann in the Underground Mall. She sent us a
message earlier, after all, which is the sign of a rank up. Agree to hang
out with her and instead of crepe's we'll get to tag along on another shoot
it sounds like. Requested by Mika? Say "She admires you" when you hear that
(as odd as it sounds) and soon we'll unlock another hangout location: the
"Sky Tower", or ASAKUSA. Sweet, another landmark unlocked!
And... this time will be as bad as last time. What did she expect? Poor Ann.
We'll head back now. Pick "So she could show you up" here and after that pick
"Cheer up". Ann really doesn't need cheered up though, as much as she needed
a true rival. Finally, pick "Go get 'em, tiger" to encourage her TRYING and we
will get some points, as well as a rank up!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SEXY TECHNIQUE |
| |
| Chance to seduce the enemy during negotiation and |
| steer discussion. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet. More help. For our evening we'll get a group text and schedule a
meeting tomorrow. Fun...
For now, let's go hang out with Yoshida again, as he texts us here. Meet
up with him and watch the speech. The TV crew isn't interested in it, it
seems. Pick "I think so" once you get a chance and soon we'll rank up with
him!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MANIPULATION |
| |
| Occasionally raises the chances of an enemy giving you |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Yoshida will get a visitor and a call after that. Seems like people are now
paying more attention to him. Wow... we'll get a nice boost of [_CHARM +3_] as
we part ways.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll meet Akechi for a bit here, but after that we'll be in class and will
have to answer a question:
o QUESTION: Paper money is issued by the Bank of Japan, but who issues
the coins?
o ANSWER: The government.
We get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for this like usual. After school though, we'll be
told that the Student Council President wants to see us. Well... this should
be good...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to student council room
The student council room is up on the third floor, by the library. Easy to
find. Head up there and enter for a scene with Makoto, who will finally pull
out the big guns. Damnit, Ryuji! We really have no choice, so let's take her
to see the group...
Watch the scenes here as Makoto Niijima will make her demands of us. We're
lucky this is all she's asking for, honestly...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Fulfill Niijima-san's demands
We'll meet with the team once Makoto is gone. Choose whatever dialog
options you wish here, but the end consensus is that we have no choice.
We'll have to investigate further to find out who our true target is. But
hey, at least we'll be helping the students being taken in at school as well.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
You'll notice here that we have a two week time limit to accomplish our goal,
just like the other jobs we've done up to now. Today is mostly talking with
the team about current events, although you do get a "real world" scene that
is noteworthy. Detective Sae is shocked about Makoto being involved. Heh...
she didn't notice, huh?
We'll also have Yusuke follow us home today. There's some dialog choices
here. I chose "What's up?", followed by "You're so hard on yourself". Once he
asks for help, pick "I'd be glad to help". This is all gearing up for Yusuke
as an upcoming confidant link, of course.
Later on, we'll get a text from Ryuji, who's proving helpful once again
and provides us a target... "Iida-kun" from class 2-D. Very nice, something
we can work with later.
o OBJECTIVE: Steal the mafia boss's heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get intel on the mafia
For our night activity, go study at the Diner on Central Street. It is

especially good today since it is raining. Order Hot Coffee. You'll end up
getting [_GUTS +1_] and [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] (although the knowledge is a bit
segmented). That's the end of today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today! Yes! Go ahead and start the book we
got from the Library: "The Great Thief".
o BOOK PROGRESS: THE GREAT THIEF (1/2 TABS DONE)
Next we'll be at class (after hearing some gossip) and we'll get a text
about Iida. And another scene with the principal and Makoto. Who leaves a
kid in charge of looking into the mafia? Pathetic...
We'll get a question after that:
o QUESTION: What would happen if you keep washing your hair with water
that's contaminated with metal?
o ANSWER: It'll change color.
Answer correctly for the [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost. Morgana's comment here
is gold, by the way. Ha!
After class, Ann will put the plan into motion. Go eavesdrop on her and
we'll get a name slip (despite her bad acting): Nishiyama. We may as well
go find and talk to him while Ann does her thing.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look for Nishiyama
Head out of the classroom and go talk to the Newspaper Club girl (who is
out in the halllway... you've undoubtedly seen her before). Just ask her
"Where's Nishiyama?" and she'll direct you to the Library.
Head up there (third floor, middle highway) and you'll find him on the
right. Talk to him and play it tough when it comes to dialog choices (you
have a reputation after all!). We'll learn how a man on central street is
getting students for a job (you may have run into him yourself, actually...).
This is all confirmed via a couple of texts, but we'll need to talk to Iida
futher:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Ask about Iida's situation
Head back to Ann and confront Iiya about the job. Iiya will take us
somewhere quieter to talk. Tell him what he was up to and he'll tell us
everything he knows. Meh...
Choose to "do more tomorrow" after that and we'll head back home for a text.
Pick whatever you want here, but it'll be up to us to do the job (for the
record, I voted for Ryuji). We'll get an objective tacked on here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find intel on Central Street
Time for a little personal time. We'll get a message from Kawakami tonight,
asking to come over. We could use the rank up, sure. Go ahead and invite her
over.
She made us... cup noodles? Really? Sigh... go ahead and pick "Yeah, they do"
here and she'll change pretty fast after that! Ha! Pick "So I can slack off in
class" next to hear some complaining, then pick "I'll request you more often"
after that for some points.
She'll get a call after that. More trouble with bills. Poor teach... Pick
"You have it rough" here. and soon we'll get our rank up, which comes with a
new ability:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: HOUSEKEEPING |
| |
| Allows you to request Kawakami to make coffee or do |
| laundry for you. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
And with that we'll also get a TUTORIAL. Haven't seen one of these in a
while, right!?
TUTORIAL - HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE:

.-��
|
| You can now hire Kawakami to help out at home by brewing coffee or
| doing laundry. She will help you save time.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Just as a note, this STILL incurs the 5,000 Yen fee, so keep that in mind.
It seems to me to be helpful for clothing for sure, but you can wash FOUR
things at a time, so make sure you get the most out of it.
In order to trigger the option, you have to act like you are about to make
coffee / do laundry AND THEN you'll get the prompt to have Kawakami help you
out... for the fee.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Time for us to look into how the mafia recruits people, I suppose...
Head out to the "Central Street" location and you'll hear people talking
as you head forward. Sketchy, but not it. Head into the alleyway now and talk
to the Homeless Man. Tell him"I want a part-time job", and then after that
pick "Introduce me".
Well, let's head back to the train station now (Shibuya Square) and we'll
get a text message. Makoto's in front of us, by the way. Talk to her if you
want, then go to the Underground Walkway. Head down and go right, then check
to your right for another Homeless Man. Ask him the same thing: "I want a
part-time job" and then after that pick "How do I meet them?".
We'll get a text message once this is done. Ice and vegetables? Snow
tomorrow? These sound like code words, right? Either way, we'll get several
sub-objectives that we can check out:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to Teikyu Building
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the station square
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the back alley
So, as you can guess, a couple of these are red herrings, but are worth
seeing/hearing I think. You can head to the "Ginza Line" through the Teikyu
Building to talk to Ryuji and listen to the man near the entrance and see
how this came into play. I really liked the Ryuji scene here.
After that you can head to the Station Square and talk to Ann. Nothing here
though, so head back to the Back Alley in Central Street after that (full
circle...). When they say "Back Alley", they actually mean the alley near the
"Protein Lovers" gem. Do that for a scene. You'll have some dialog choices
here. Pick Violence is not the answer" when you can and then "Let's follow him"
when he leaves.
In the end, decide to meet up tomorrow for another meeting. Karaoke, huh?
Sounds like fun. We'll be home soon after that and we'll get a call from Makoto
(which impresses Sojiro... because of course it does...). After that we'll get
some time to ourselves.
For our night activity, go study at the Diner on Central Street (we are doing
the same thing as the other night... just FYI, this is a copy/paste job). It is
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We have our Karaoke meeting today. Enjoy the scenes here and you'll
eventually get some dialog choices. Pick "What about the media?" to have
everyone remember that we have that reporter's card. "Ichiko Ohya" of Maiasa
Newspaper. Perhaps she can help us out? We'll send her a message automatically.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Wait for Ohya to contact you
After that is done, all that is left is to wait. We'll have time to do
something for the evening though. Tonight let's call Kawakami over again,
pushing her Confidant Link. I'll admit: this is getting expensive. Be sure
to sell any old equipment you don't need and your treasure as well. I haven't
sold any equipment (for, um... guide writing purposes), but this put me down
to about 5K Yen.
If you are in the same boat, don't worry too much: we'll be in a Palace
soon and we can get rich once again. We'll also rank up soon with Kawakami
thanks to this.
After a scene with Makoto (poor Makoto...) the day will come to an end.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Today we'll get some more scenes with Makoto. She's really trying to help
students, it seems. After school, we'll also learn more about that group of
burglars that we've been hearing about. Turns out that Yusuke found a name:
Kazuya Makigami. This will lead to a new MEMENTOS Request.
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Phaton Thieves VS Burglary Ring
Once we've got control, you can check your messages to see we have a message
from Yusuke. Well, let's go hang out with him for the first time! Bound to be
a new Confidant Link! He hangs out in the underground walkway, just so you
know (he likes to people watch).
Yusuke seems to be in a slump. When he asks you what to paint, pick

"Mementos" and... yep, we'll actually go there so he can paint. This can't
be a good idea. On the next dialog option, pick "Give me your brush" and we
will soon be in a battle. Yeah, coming here wasn't a good idea at all!
This should be an easy fight for you. Just use FIRE/AGI here and you'll be
OK. Keep your HP up, just in case, as the slimes can detonate themselves.
Just... wow...
After the battle, Yusuke will compare us to "Theo". Say "You caught me"
here and then "Thanks" after that. Interesting point about Van Gogh here
though (Yusuke would know that...). He'll then notice the blank card that
we got earlier and decides inspiration has struck. He'll work on it for a
bit and we'll get the [_SKILL CARD: RECARM_].
Pick "That is an awesome power" and then after Yusuke proposes our "deal",
pick "It's a deal". We'll get a real world scene after this with Sae, like
we've seen before with other new confidants, and finally our first rank of
the Emperor Arcana:
.'��'.

| CONFIDENT: YUSUKE KITAGAWA |

| EMPEROR ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: NOVICE DUPLICATION |
| |
| Allows Yusuke to use Blank Cards to duplicate |
| low-rank Skill Cards. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
This comes along with a tutorial on skill card duplication:
TUTORIAL - DUPLICATION:
.-��
|
| You can now ask Yusuke to use his DUPLICATION ability to make you
| copies of skill cards.
|
| To copy a skill card, give Yusuke a blank card and the card you want
| to copy. Both cards will be available for you to pick up the next day.
|
| The blank card will be transformed to create the new skill card.
| Yusuke will return both the new and original cards to you.
|
| Blank cards can be obtained from treasure chests in Mementos and from
| negotiating with Shadows. Try to find as many as you can.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Once we get home we'll learn that the journalist has responded. She'll want
to meet us at Shinjuku, an area we've never been to before. We'll get on the
chat to learn that Ryuji will go with us, but before leaving Morgana will have
us change.
And, of course, once we meet Ryuji he... hasn't changed. Dummy...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the bar in Shinjuku
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the JL ticket gates
Here you want to go straight, the right, going PAST the stairs and to the
ticket gate just past them. This unlocks a new hangout spot... SHINJUKU. Nice,
another landmark unlocked. We will have to pay a train fee of 190 Yen though,
which prompts a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - USING THE TRAIN:

.-��
|
| The school commuter train pass allows you to travel for free on two
| railway lines: Yongen-Jaya to Shibuya and Sibuya to Aoyama-Itchome.
|
| You will have to pay a fare to travel outside of these areas, so be
| aware and make travel plans accordingly.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Also, the Rise poster is here! Love it!
Once you get to Shinjuku, we'll need to make our way to the bar, which is
in the back on the right. Getting there is a chore though. Answer these scenes
however you wish as you see why Ryuji is dumb. We'll make him wait outside
eventually.
Ichiko will meet us once we enter the bar, covering for us as she obviously
is a regular. Heh... go ahead and meet with her. Ask her "Who controls Shibuya?"
and when she asks why just say "I need intel of their boss". She'll make a deal
with us here. Pick "Are those your terms?" and then "I accept your offer".
She will then give us the name we need... Junya Kaneshiro. Seems like Mishima
is going to be helpful after all. And thanks to the "real world" scenes we've
seen, this seems like the right name!
Once you leave you'll get a text from Ryuji. Head south to meet up with him.
On our way out though, we'll get an amusing scene. Seems like Ryuji is popular.
Say what you wish here (although I picked "Show them your inner man"). Heh...
We will head back automatically after that.
And, as is our life here so far, we are forced to sleep. Good night!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll meet up with the gang here to discuss Kaneshiro. We know the name,
now we need the Palace and the location. When it comes to the palace, you
will be able to guess soon. Pick "A Bank" when you get a chance. A hit!
Well then! But... where? The group will figure it out eventually, but it
seems a bit big to be real. We'll see for ourself soon as the scene changes.
Hahaha! Walking ATMs. We should find the "Bank" though. We'll regain control
soon though, with some objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Find Kaneshiro's Bank
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the City
Head forward here and talk to the ATM on the left. Ask what happened, but
you don't get any good response. Continue on to the north and you'll see
some scenes. We'll have to head back to the station after that. A new ATM is
near the far south. Ask it about Kaneshiro and you'll see where his Palace
is at... oh wow...
Once we get home, we'll get a text from Ohya. She will warn us about
Kaneshiro, fearing for our safety. That's nice of her. Morgana will also
remind us it is SUNDAY, and the shopping channel is on. We WILL NOT be able
to buy juice from the Underground Walkway, however. Real bummer!
Turn on the TV and you can buy [_MENTAL FLOSS x20_] for 1,980 Yen. This
item cures the "Forget" status. Up to you if you want it or not (you already
know I'm buying everything).
After we go to bed, we'll get another heart-breaking scene with Makoto.

Ugh, right in the feels...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll be at the hideout at the start of the day, discussing our issue of
how to reach the palace. Makoto will stop by and talk with us. After some
flashbacks, pick "Something like that" and she'll leave, stating she will
help us meet Kaneshiro.
Watch the scenes as she tries to get us info on where Kaneshiro is... Oh
wow, she's taking things overboard, isn't she? This really isn't good. Watch
the scenes here as the crafty Kaneshiro uses the situation to blackmail us
and put a drop-dead deadline on us. On the other hand, Makoto has really
thrown her lot in with ours...
We'll end up taking her to the Metaverse, now that she's a "Customer" of
the bank. And sure enough, they let us in. Looks like we have our access
point...
KANESHIRO PALACE
----------------
Makoto will accompany us as we're determined to find Kaneshiro here. I

would bring in MORGANA here, simply for his Media Skill. Also, I would
leave Ann out for now. Just FYI.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Search for the mafia boss
Head into the bank for a scene. The guards will let us in on Kaneshiro's
orders, but advise us to ONLY go to the right. Heh...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the Reception Room
Well, we literally cannot go anywhere else. Even if you try, you'll just
be moved back (why are we listening to these guys?). We'll end up heading
to the right and into the room they make us go into.
Watch the scenes here as we go from dealing, to fighting. Ugh...
We'll be fighting two "Chivalrous Guards" here. They are strong against
physical and gun attacks, so use elemental attacks. They also LOVE to use
"Rampage", so use Morgana and heal everyone as needed (this actually comes
in really handy here). Keep this up for the second round of guards as well.
On the third round of fights, we'll decide it is time to flee... probably a
good idea...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Escape from the Palace
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the entrance
As you get out to the entrance, we'll see some scenes. We'll get another
awakening here. Oh man... super cool. We'll end up getting into a fight
afterwards. This time it is against a "Floodbringer Demon" and two of those
"Chivalrous Guards".
Here, you want to use Magrei with Makoto over and over. You can get in two
rounds as the Floodbringer Demon is weak to this move. Makoto has excellent
healing as well. For the battle, you know what the guards do, but the demon
likes to use Mabufu, which is why I didn't recommend Ann earlier.
Keep the healing up and abuse Mafrei and this fight should be in the bag.
Focus on the guards when they get low on health to reduce the damage coming
your way as well.
Soon we'll have exited the Palace and will have made a new ally. Quite the
productive night! As we are going over it with Morgana, we will get another
rank up with him!

Well, can't complain about that! After we zone out on Morgana, the night
will be over.

`---./��\,---'
JUNE 21ST (TUESDAY 6/21)

------------------------
Makoto will meet us before school. We'll also see a scene of her and Ann
making up, as well as a group chat with everyone. The game is really hammering
home the point that we're all on the same team here, aren't they? Well, Makoto
is amongst good company.
We have two weeks to take care of the criminal Kaneshiro! Mission Start!
TUTORIAL - CONFIDANT RELATIONSHIPS:

.-��
|
| Powerful Personas are necessary to gain the upper hand in battle.
| Different Personas will grow stronger with each Confidant relationship.
|
| Additionally, your Confidants will learn unique abilities as your bonds
| grow. Be sure to spend the time to build up these special relationships.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Now, instead of going to the Palace, lets push our confidant ranks and stats
up a bit. We have plenty of time before the deadline, after all.
This afternoon, let's spend some time with Ann. She's not quite ready for
a rank up, but we can get her ready for next time. You'll need to choose
where you want to take her. Pick "Inokashira Park". She will ask about making
sandwichs here, so be sure to reply "You should make some" for a three note
boost.
(-NOTE-) We're going to need some money for the next few days. Somewhere
around 20,000. Slightly more if you want the shopping channel
items. We get a 5,000 Yen gift for free, so keep that in mind
and make sure you have the money. I was able to get this much by
selling old equipment. Just wanted to give you guys (and gals) a
heads-up.
After that, we should head to Shinjuku. The flower shop here sells the BEST
TYPE of plant fertilizer: "MEGA FERTILIZER". We want to buy one at least (only
one for me, since I'm broke). We definitely want one, as these things give you
THREE kindness when you take care of the plant with them. So good for a free
action!
Also, while I was here, I took care of another Strength Requirement. If you
are broke, skip this, as it costs money (likely). Head to the Velvet Room
and if you remember, out goal is a "Shiisaa with Frei". If you combine a
MAKAMI x JACK FROST, and make sure you put FREI on the SHIISAA that you get,
you can turn it into the Twin Wardens for a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Next up, the Twins will ask for a MATADOR with "Magaru". We'll do this soon,
but for now my wallet is aching...
(-IMPORTANT NOTE!-) MAKE SURE you have the following Persona types for our
time hanging out with people in the future:
o CHARIOT
o LOVERS
o EMPEROR
o DEVIL
o TEMPERANCE
For our night activity, go study at the Diner on Central Street (we are doing
the same thing as the other night... just FYI, this is a copy/paste job). It is
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 22ND (WEDNESDAY 6/22)

--------------------------
We'll get told about the fortune teller on the train today. We'll get to
her after our next palace trip (she costs a TON of money...). Seeing her the
first time is free though, and profitable, so we'll get to her later today.
For our afternoon activity today, let's hang out with Ryuji. We're not ready
to rank up with him, but we're getting close to it! Go with him to someplace
fun and pick "Suidobashi". Tickets will cost 200 Yen. Once you are there with
him, and as awkward as it is, tell him to "Go by yourself" for three points.
In the evening, be sure to go up and take care of your plant. You will get
a bigger bonus with the MEGA FERTILIZER here: [_KINDNESS +3_]. So sweet!
Now, let's go ahead and meet with that fortune teller. We'll need to head
to Shinjuku, so go ahead and visit her on the first alleyway to the right.
She'll introduce herself as "Chihaya Mifune". Choose whatever dialog options
you want here. I played along, mostly... with the occasional bout of disbelief
of course (can you blame me!?). In the end, she offers to sell us a "Holy
Stone" for 100,000 Yen. Yikes...
We'll head home automatically afterwards, with Sojiro seeming quite

pleased with himself. Turns out he's hit the lotto and is giving us some
money... [_5,000 YEN_]. Oh wow...
Ok, so maybe there's something to this fortune telling thing...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JUNE 23RD (THURSDAY 6/23)

-------------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today! Sweet. Let's finish off the book we've
been reading ("The Great Thief"):
o BOOK PROGRESS: THE GREAT THIEF (COMPLETE!)
For finishing it, we get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] boost! This happens to be
enough to give us our next rank up as well, which is nice!
o KNOWLEDGE RANK UP! (KNOWLEDGE RANK 3: SCHOLARLY)
We'll also get a question in class today. Gotta start on that next knowledge
rank right away, I suppose:
o QUESTION: Who is this woman, drawn as the High Priestess in most tarot
decks?
o ANSWER: Pope Joan

This is directly related to Makoto's Persona, as well. Pretty cool. We will
get a bump of [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] as well. Once school is done, go up to the
library and return "The Great Thief". We have a new book we can borrow now,
thanks to Makoto, so borrow "The Illusory Popess". Sweet!
For our afternoon activity, Yusukue wants to hang out. Go ahead and meet
with him and agree to hang out (even though we have to tell him to calm down
in order to do so). We'll end up meeting at Leblanc's.
He'll show us the painting he made. Wow... I think it's genuinely really
good. Pick "It's novel" here for some points and after he mentions he is
putting it on display pick "I can't wait". He expects us to be there with
him as well. This will lead to the rank up!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We will slowly bring Yusuke in line with the other party members! Baton
pass is handy for sure! He'll leave shortly afterwards.
We'll automatically get a text from Ryuji in the evening. Ohya is done
with her Mishima article. Morgana encourages us to visit her more, as the
good press could help us.
BEFORE you do that though, check the TV here for a quiz question:
o QUESTION: Which one of these counts as fraud?! You be the judge!
o ANSWER: Ordering food without money.
We'll get a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost here. Sweet. Lots of knowledge today,
it seems. OK, tonight lets go and see the reporter. We can start a contract
with her. She's in Shinjuku of course, back in the "Crossroads Bar". Head
in and talk with her. Choose whatever dialog options you want here, but just
generally agree to give her info in return for positive press and the contract
will be made:
.'��'.

| CONFIDENT: ICHIKO OHYA |

| Lessens security level increases, and decreases security |
| level more overnight. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get close to having a drink after this, but not so much with Lala
here. Hahaha! We'll also get a VERY NICE boost of [_CHARM +3_] for getting
Ohya's interest piqued.
The next day will come automatically after that...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
Another day! We'll get through school quickly. For our afternoon activity
let's spend some time with Ann. We still aren't ready to rank up though,
so let's take her to "Inokashira Park" and we'll get a three note boost.
We'll get messages from both Ohya and Kawakami once we get back home. Heh,
good to have rank ups in the future, right? It's going to hurt the pocketbook,
but let's have Kawakami come over again, which makes her happy.
She's... unusually helpful. Pick "What are you scheming?" here. We'll get
some provocative dialog here, but yeah, she just needs money. As usual. Pick
"How rude" when she shares her work story. When she asks about how she looks,
pick "You need to love yourself" for three points. We'll get our rank up soon
after:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After we get our rank up, we'll get a bombshell dropped on us. Oh wow...
Pick "Why did you lie to me?" and she'll get a bit depressed and head out.
Well, we'll see her again soon anyways...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
After class, we'll meet up automatically at the hideout. Makoto will get
some Metaverse questions in, although we have no answers. Once the meeting
is done (nice pictures!), go ahead and EXIT.
We'll get a message from Ryuji after you're free. Go ahead and hang out
with him. He'll share what happened with the track team over ramen. Pick
"We can't lose either" when you get a chance. We'll eat after that. Pick
"It's all because of you" next and soon we'll get our final rank up, which
has some extra scenes, especially regarding Ryuji's Persona...
.'��'.

| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SECOND AWAKENING |

| Transforms his Persona into a mythological trickster. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse CHI YOU, the most powerful Persona of the
Chariot Arcana.
(-NOTE-) You will get the "A True Confidant" Bronze Trophy for becoming
Ryuji's blood brother and awakening his new power.
Ryuji's "Captain Kidd" persona has transformed into "Seiten Taisei". So
very cool! I love the music here too. Sends shivers down my spine! Our first
Confidant is maxed out! And in our third month. Not too bad!
For our evening activity, let's call Kawakami back (her confidant bonuses
are really good...). It costs quite a bit, but bite the bullet and call her
over.
Once she arrives, she lays it out: we're being USED for money, and yet we
still call her!? Hehe, she's right. Pick "Who's the Master here?" for some
points and Kawakami will open up to you about a student named Takase and
what she did for him. Pick "So, did you stop?" to learn what happened. Man,
that is sad...
Pick "It's not your fault" here and you'll learn where the money is going.
This is... blackmail? Pick "You OK with that?" next and she'll try to break
things off with us again. Man... pick "It's too late now" to eventually rank
up with Kawakami yet again:

Sweet. That "Free Time" ability doesn't happen very often, but it will
DEFINITELY help us in the future. Free time means more books that we'll get
to read, which means more stats. Love it.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
Hey, it's sunday! Love it! We'll be able to do the shopping channel today.
They are selling [_UJI MATCHA FLAN x2_] for 2,980 Yen. These things are gifts
and work well with Ann, so buy them if you wish.
(-NOTE-) 777: I don't know enough about these gifts to give you advice on
whether this is a worthy purchase or not. More on that later,
unfortunately. We're a bit strapped on cash as it is.
Be sure to go to the Underground Walkway and get the drink here (we had
to skip it last Sunday, so don't forget!). This time it is "Nasty Aojiru",
which increases our Guts. Drink it for the [_GUTS +1_] boost.
After that, go ahead and reply to the text that Ann sent you. She's wanting
to hang out with us, and we know a rank up is near. Go meet up with her and
agree to hang out.
Looks like we're training with Ryuji. Heh. Ann will start going down the
list of what she's trying to do. So much! I'm feeling lazy all of a sudden...
Go ahead and pick "You have some real guts" here. The dialog after this is
fantastic (way to go, Ryuji!).
After the phone call, pick "There's no doubt in my mind" here for a nice
three points and then Ryuji will piss her off. Hehehe... well, he gave Ann
some motivation at least! Once they're done, pick "Good Advice" and you'll
hear about Shiho once Ryuji leaves. Pick "She'll be happy to hear that" here
and we'll rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Chance to withstand an otherwise fatal attack with |
| 1 HP remaining. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Once you get home, we'll get a really strange request: a text from Yoshida
who says we've been invited to DINNER! Huh... go ahead and spend time with
him tonight.
At diner, we'll be asked about the Phantom Thieves. Pick "I'm for them" here
for a point and then we'll get to why Yoshida was asked out. Hmmm, doesn't seem
like the worst deal, but there's likely an ulterior motive for sure. Go ahead
and pick "I'd leave it to chance" here for another point and soon we'll have
out rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After dinner we'll automatically head home and the day will be over.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
Well well, look who it is. Akechi will say hello today before school. Once
we get to school, we'll have a question about the weather...
o QUESTION: In English, what does the term "cat-and-dog weather" refer to?
o ANSWER: Heavy rain.
Well, chances are good you don't need a guide for THAT question. Heh. We
get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] bump for answering correctly. We'll hear a lot of
other sayings and get a cat's insight as well.
After school, you'll get a couple of texts. Bothered about the palace and
a message from Yusuke, who wants to hang out. Well, let's go see him then.
He'll tell us the "Desire" painting is on exhibit. Sweet! Looks like we're
going to go see it. This actually unlocks a new HANGOUT spot: UENO MUSEUM.
Double sweet!
We'll get to hear people check out the painting with Yusuke. It... doesn't
go so well, which is crazy. I still really like this piece. Once you get a
chance, pick "Don't let it bother you" for some points. Yusuke is... well, a
bit dramatic here. Pick "This is just the beginning" to try and cheer him up,
then "This isn't like you" to snap him out of it. Pick "That's the spirit"
after that and we'll have a rank up soon enough:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Very nice. Yusuke will get on-par slowly but surely!
For the evening, let's go hang out with Ohya again. It's a cheap ticket to
the Crossroads bar. Once you are there, you can also talk to Lala, the barkeep,
about working here, but we are proclaimed a bit unseasoned for that...
(-NOTE-) To work at CROSSROADS, you need "Empathetic" Kindness and

"Skilled" Proficiency.
Oh well. Later then. Talk to Ohya and agree to hang out. She'll want more
info about Kamoshida. Select "Mishima might..." when she asks about the card.
After that she'll talk about the Phantom Thieves. Select "What about their
justice?" here. She's... doubtful about that, but we get to hear a bit about
her past here, thanks to Lala. Finally, pick "It's for the article" when asked
why you come here. Rank up!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After the booze dries up, we'll get a very nice [_CHARM +3_] bump here for
hanging out with Ohya. Don't know how THAT works, but oh well. And with that
we're on to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
Another reminder to take care of Kaneshiro today. They are very good at
that, at the least!
OK, today we're going to wrap up something I've been wanting to do for
awhile. Head to Yongen-Jaya (Home) and SAVE out on the streets. We are going
to go to the BATTING CAGES.
Now, I recommend you do this in two "phases". Our first time here we're just
going to get used to hitting and try to hit a HOME RUN. First, let's go over
what this is like. You have to pay 500 Yen to go batting, and there are a
couple tutorials to it:
TUTORIAL - USING THE BATTING CAGES:

.-��
|
| Using the batting cages will cause time to pass, but you can get prizes
| based on your performance. Your PROFICIENCY will also improve.
|
| Hitting all five pitches will get you the slugger prize, and if you hit
| a home run, you'll get the home run prize.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - BATTING CAGE CONTROLS:

.-��
|
| Adjust the angle of your bat up or down with the left stick to match
| the ball's expected trajectory.
|
| When the ball overlaps with its icon, press the X Button to swing the
| bat. Try to hit the target for a home run.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
OK, so again our goal is to hit a HOME RUN. Just try for that and RELOAD IF
YOU FAIL. The KEY to hitting the home run is to aim your bat on the BOTTOM
HALF of the ball (so it pulls upwards) and swing a TAD bit early.
Hit a home run and you'll get the TROPHY for it below:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "The City's Hard Hitter" Bronze Trophy for
hitting a home run at the batting cages!
Now, once you have that trophy, you should RELOAD and make sure you hit
EVERY BALL (no need to reload if you hit every ball AND got the home run...
my hats off to you!). Hitting every ball gets you the "Slugger Reward"
(which is a Revival Bead), but more importantly you will get a bonus of
[_PROFICIENCY +2_]. Make sure you get that at the very least!
(-NOTE-) I'm going to put down the UPDATED SHOP INFO down below. HOWEVER!
I didn't buy anything here, minus that SP ADHESIVE 3 item, which
surely saved by butt in the next dungeon. But that was quite a
few days ago, if I recall correctly...

OK, done with the shop lists!
We'll be at home for the evening now. Here, go to the READING SPOT at the
bar and choose to READ the book "Yoncha Wanderer". Since we've explored every
place in Yongen-Jaya, we won't need to read this book and the game will GIVE
US CREDIT AUTOMATICALLY. Very sweet!
o BOOK PROGRESS: YONCHA WANDERER (COMPLETE!)
Back out of reading now and check your messages. Ohya wants to meet up with
us today. Sure, let's do it. Head on over and meet up with her.
You'll share the "Phan-Site" with her this time. Hard to believe she didn't
know about that already. Go ahead and pick "You shouldn't make assumptions"
here for some points. Other journalists will come up in conversation, so pick
"I'm sure you are" when you can, then "Why not change careers?" after that.
We'll get a glimpse into her past again. Ask "She was falsely accused?" to
ALMOST hear about it, but not quite... we'll rank up soon after that:
.'��'.

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet, getting there slowly and steadily! We'll get a [_CHARM +3_] boost
here as well. Very nice!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
o QUESTION: This character is the cursive form of a specific kanji.

Do you know which one it is?
o ANSWER: Gold.
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. After that, school will pretty much
be over. Hurrah!
OK, today is the day. We're going to take out Kaneshiro's Palace. Well, we
will find the treasure at least. This means it's going to be a LONG DAY, but
we can definitely do this in one day, especially with our SP ADHESIVE item
that we bought earlier. Let's go to the hiding spot (you can use one of your
messages to get there) and choose to infiltrate the palace.
KANESHIRO PALACE
----------------
As you get here, you'll have to figure out a nickname for Makoto. Listen
to the suggestions and then pick "Queen" once you are ready. Fitting, right?
Especially for Ryuji and Morgana...
We're going to be using all our team members as we go, but try to keep
Morgana and Ann for healing if you can. Remember, we have that SP ITEM
(SP Adhesive 3) that we can use and swap between team members. With that in
mind, let's do this! First, some very important notes that I have no doubt
are going to serve you well!
(-NOTE-) You want to keep a NEKOMATA Persona for the Strength Confidant
rank later on. Just be sure you keep that cat in stock by the
end of this palace run!
(-NOTE-) The HIGH PIXIE enemy is EXCELLENT to "take a rest" on. Defeat all
other enemies. Now, get her to low HP with melee attacks and guard
with everyone else. This lets our SP ITEMS do their work. She will
either heal herself, use Garula (rare), or pus someone to sleep,
which helps us heal HP and SP. Finish her off when your SP items
are done doing their thing...
(-NOTE-) The "Queen's Necklace" TREASURE DEMON in this location is WEAK to

GUNS. If you see one, be sure to shoot it so you can either kill
it quickly (lots of EXP/money) or keep it for fusion purposes.
Personally, I vote for the killing it option. Capture one for the
trophy, if you don't have it already!
(-NOTE-) As for who to take into this dungeon, Makoto is a great choice as
NUKE does well. Everyone else is pretty even, so take your picks.
I personally went with Makoto, Yusuke and Ryuji (remember you can
use healing from the party menu, no matter who is in your active
party).
And now, our objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the bank
The front door is all busted up and boarded up. Thanks to Makoto, naturally.
Heh... getting in is going to be a little tricky. What you want to do is check
out the PIG to the right of the door. Inspect it and crawl into the passage
you find to end up in the bank proper.
(-NOTE-) I am going to put the PERSONA NEGOTIATION TABLE below. Reference

it to see what types of enemies you're going to fight in this
section, what they are weak to, and how to recruit them. SKIP PAST
IT to carry on with the walkthough and reference it throughout this
palace.

FRONT HALL
----------
We can exit back to the entrance using this manhole, but let's go exploring!
Look around nearby for a [_PIGGY BANK_] and head up the stairs. This is a
dead end (for now) with a large gate. There is a [_COLLECTION BAG_] here at
least. Nab it and go back down, then into the main foyer.
(-NOTE-) Be sure to check the "Persona Negotiation Guide" for tips on

recruiting the Persona's here as well as what they are weak to!
Of special note in the beginning area of the bank is the ONI enemy
who isn't weak to anything. Use elemental attacks on him or use
"Lucky Punch" with your main character / Morgana.
There's two shadows here, pacing the rows. You can sneak up on them pretty
easily, or just run behind them. Kill them both off, then go check the
northern area, where the tellers usually are, as there's a CHEST hiding back
there with an [_ELYSIAN ROBE_]. This is a good piece of female armor for Ann
or Makoto. The other two northern doors here don't open by the way, so we
can't go to any of the meeting rooms we saw earlier.
Head through the west door now for a short elevator scene. Looks like
we'll need to use this at some point. Maybe a control room somewhere?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a route to the basement
Head into the room to the south now. There's a door here leading to a
smaller eastern room that has some goodies in it: a [_COLLECTION BAG_] and
a [_PIGGY BANK_]. Head back out now and check the southern cubby left of the
room for another [_COLLECTION BAG_]. There's some ATM's chatting here and a
door to the southwest that is all sealed up right now. We'll open it later
though.
Time to head north. There's a guard roaming around that you can ambush if
you use the corner here (or bum-rush), and there's another cubby to the north
with another guard roaming around. Beyond easy to ambush this one. Check this
area for a [_PIGGY BANK_] and a CHEST with a [_BALM OF LIFE_].
You've likely noticed the HUGE STAIRS nearby. We'll have to head up them
now. There's some DOGS up here though. These things are like shadow guards of
course... just that they will ALWAYS be a certain type of Persona (every time...
Yusuke really pulls his weight here, with ice attacks). Kill the dog and guard
using the cover up here.
To the right is a small walkway / balcony with a door that is locked. There's
an obvious key-card reader here though, which means we'll find and use a key
card eventually. There's a [_PIGGY BANK_] out on the balcony as well.
Back in the main hallway, not that there's an area near the wall where you
can climb up some shelves / cabinets up ahead. This leads up to a vent, but
first go ahead and explore further up without going to the vent. There's another
dog and guard up ahead to kill. Take them out and at the end of the hallway is a
big locked door with a [_PIGGY BANK_] nearby. You can open the door with a
button here. This path leads to the dead end and the area we came in at.
Shortcut unlocked!
(-NOTE-) It's a good idea to "repeat" this entry area. In other words, loop
from the downstairs to the upstairs, killing enemies and raising
money. You can reset all the enemies by exiting the manhole and
re-entering, and can keep your SP up using the trick noted earlier.
The reason to do this is because we need MONEY for upcoming days in the real
world... 100K for a confidant plus new weapons / equipment and daily life
expenses, which adds up to a LOT of money. It's a good idea to raise 200K at
least by the end of this dungeon, which isn't too hard to do with a bit of
grinding. Remember that during hold ups look for the money option to turn red
(a perk for being friends with Yoshida) to make big chunks of change! For
reference, I was at 90K before leaving this first "lobby area".
Head back to the vent on the upper floor when you're ready to continue.
Ambush the enemy you find after crawling through it and we'll get a cut-scene.
It seems we've found the security room, and with that comes the key item
spoils: a [_BANK KEYCARD_] and the [_BANK BLUEPRINT_]. Sweet. We'll get a
couple of objectives along with our goodies:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the bank basement
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Use the keycard to open the door
Open the door here and now we can go right and down the left (short) hallway.
The one with the door and keycard reader! We can open it now to find... the
top of the elevator? I suppose this is a maintenance room, but we can totally
ride down on the elevator from here and get to the bank basement! Just like
real thieves, right?!
BANKER PASSAGEWAY
-----------------
Once we gain control, we'll have a new objective (same one, if you ask me!):
Drop down and head out the right door (left path is blocked), into the door
on the right for our first real Safe Room!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: BANKER PASSAGEWAY
Have a meeting if you wish (I always kind-of like doing meetings even if I
don't need to...), then head out and continue on. Head to the east and get
the [_COLLECTION BAG_] from the cubby then head down the hallway going north.
STOP! Oh wow, they have Security Cameras. That's crazy! About time someone
has these! Getting spotted by these things adds to the security level of
course, but isn't necessarily a fight. Use THIRD EYE to see where their range
is and go around them (I'm getting flash backs of Metal Gear Solid here...).
Break the electrical box you find to disable the cameras. This is going to
be a running theme of this palace from here on out, by the way. Head through
the door here now. An enemy comes up to the top here, so be careful and ambush
them. The door to the left leads to a [_PIGGY BANK_] in the corner, but DO NOT
go up stairs due to wide cameras (no sneaking around these ones).
Instead, go down the south path from the earlier room and ambush the guards
you find in the east hallway. Kill both of them. Note that the west hallway
has a guard with flames. No idea why, as they're just as easy as everything
else so far. Kill them off and go into the northern room.
Nab the [_PIGGY BANK_] here and hit the electrical box, which kills the
camera to the north, then continue south down the hallway and kill the guard
at the end. The next room has a CHEST in it with a [_SNUFF SOUL_] (sweet!).
Hit the electrical box here as well and you'll kill the last camera.
Go back to the northwest room now and up the stairs to continue (now that
the cameras are gone). This path leads past some more stairs to a hallway.
Note that the room up ahead has some treasure, but it is guarded by cameras.
PATIENCE! We will get it soon! For now, kill the dog you find further on and
look around the corner for an electrical box you can kick in to shut off the
cameras, then go back for [_COLLECTION BAG x2_].
Head back south and use the key card reader by the door to open the gate (a
shortcut back to the Safe Room). Go back and save if you wish (always a good
idea) and head back north, going through the door leading east. There's nothing
here, so continue further east into the next room and go through the south door
first, following the staircase. This leads back to the FIRST FLOOR. Use your
key card to open up the shortcut!
Shortcuts are always good, although I don't think I ever really used this one.
Head back now and go through the east door. You'll be in a BIG ROOM here, with
cameras everywhere. What you want to do here is go to the east hallway and kill
the guard. Now, near the middle of this east hallway, you can climb upwards and
jump to higher ground on the left. This leads to a vent you can crawl through
(a very short vent) that leads to a [_COLLECTION BAG_]. Nab it and jump down.
We're still in the eastern hallway, but now we want to go south and we'll
find an area where we can go DOWN. Kill the guard down here and head north
to find a CHEST that has a [_BALM OF LIFE_]. Head west from here and we'll
run into a HUGE VAULT... but we need some keys....
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a way to open the partition
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the two keys
Well then... continue west and up the stairs. Nab the [_PIGGY BANK_] here
and continue the rest of the way up. There is a CHEST up here with some
[_TARNISHED GEAR_] in it (we'll need the laundromat for that...).
Next we want to go through the top eastern door here. Jump up on the
cabinet and crawl through the hole you find to the room to the south. Here
you can grab a CHEST for a [_BLACK KOGATANA_]. We can use this for fusions
in the future, but it's fairly powerless right now. Make sure to break the
two electrical boxes in here (which turns off SO MANY cameras) and then
unlock the door with the key card to get back out to the hallway.
Go ahead and unlock the door to the northeast now with the key card. With
all the cameras down, we have run of this place. Head east here and you'll
get a scene with two guards. Chances are good they have the keys, right?
Pick "Let's observe them for now" and then "That's a great idea". I must
agree: divide and conquer IS a good idea.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Go to the main hall control room
You'll be asked if you want to go there right away. Pick yes if you want,
but I chose to run their manually... for a few extra moneymaking opportunities
(remember all that money we need!). Once you do get there, you'll be treated to
a scene as Makoto divides and conquers, although that does lead us to a boss
fight:
MINI BOSS: TORNADO DEVIL
This isn't much of a boss fight. Hardly worthy of being called a mini boss,
to be quite honest. The key to this fight is to use Lightning attacks, so
your main character and Ryuji will shine here. Keep those up with all out
attacks and you'll take this guy down in no time. I've also got an (anonymous)
message that this enemy is susceptible to confusion, and will shower you in
money randomly if you can confuse him. Something to try, if you are able.
After the fight, you'll get the [_RIGHT KEY_]. The other yellow demon guy is
by himself as well, so head back to the security room we first saw them in and
rush him to get into another fight. You can save on the way if you wish, but it
isn't a hard fight (with Makoto).
MINI BOSS: FLOODBRINGER DEMON
This enemy is the same as the one we fought when we first came to this
dungeon and Makoto awakened. Use nuke skills and it will be at your mercy.
Very easy, overall.
After the "Mini Boss" (pfft...) is dead, we'll get the [_LEFT KEY_] item.
You will also get the [_BASEMENT BLUEPRINT_] map, which is handy. Also, be
sure to nab the [_COLLECTION BAG_] in here as well.
With both keys in hand, we can go to the vault and open it up. It doesn't
lead to the treasure of course, but it opens the way up to the second half
of this dungeon. Head in and we'll tackle all that next!
LAUNDERING OFFICE
-----------------
(-NOTE-) You really want to try and get the Persona "Leanan Sidhe"
(Lv 19 Jealous Lover) here if you can. Her psychic ability
is going to make an upcoming boss fight much easier.
So... my first thought seeing this place was "Money... Money Everywhere".
Very fitting for Kaneshiro, it seems. Head north here to the next hallway
(nothing else you can do) and go RIGHT to find [_COLLECTION BAG x2_]. The
door here is blocked though, so we're forced to head west. The north door is
also locked (they are really corralling us here!).
Well, I suppose we're headed south. As you try to go south though you'll get
a scene... THESE cameras turn on and off. We have to time things! This is
easier than it looks: as you hide by corners you can ONLY go past these cameras
when they are off (the option to move disappears otherwise). The guards here
will pace around as well. You can go ahead and ambush this first guard when the
camera is off, just be sure to HIDE right away after the battle or move forward
out of camera range.
Continue to sneak forward using the sneak trick and take out the other guard,
then head to the southern room. Nab the [_PIGGY BANK_] here and head into the
crawl space. Man, just look at this POOL OF MONEY. This guy is like Scrooge
McDuck up in here! Ridiculous. Drop down and go as far north as you can to
another [_PIGGY BANK_]. We can head south now through another crawl space to
get to another room.
Grab the [_PIGGY BANK x2_] in here, but BEFORE you go in the elevator go
through the NORTHERN DOOR first. This leads to another hallway with those
cameras and guards. Hide and make your way north, ambushing both of the
guards on the way just like we did last time.
This path leads to a hallway, but here you want to go NORTH first. You can
go up some stairs to unlock a shortcut back up to the upper floor (which
you'll recognize right away). Head back down and check out the east hallway
now. Time the cameras here and get past them. If you watch them for a cycle,
you'll see there's a pretty easy timing to it as long as you don't run TOO
far forward. This leads to the CHEST of course with an [_IGNIS RING_] in it
(which reduces fire damage a medium amount).
Head back to the elevator we skipped now and go down it. Head west now and
kill the dog you find to open the CHEST nearby for a [_REVIVAL BEAD_], then
go through the south doorway. You'll see a short scene here with Kaneshiro.
We're too far away to hear what he's talking about though...
Once you regain control, grab the [_PIGGY BANK_] nearby and go down the
right stairs. BE CAREFUL though: there are guards who go up and down these
stairs and hallways that we can't ambush very well. We can ambush them, but
we will need to run after them when they turn around.
Do so and defeat them, then be sure to go back and get the [_PIGGY BANK_]
in the corner after that. Continue down the stairs and watch out for another
guard. Chase him to ambush him again and go back for the CHEST, which has a
[_BEAD_] in it. Go north now and kill the last guard on the stairs. There is
a rare LOCKED CHEST nearby. Use a lockpick to open it for a host of goodies:
a [_HEAVY POUND_], [_SAFE DIAL_] and an [_OLD COIN_]. The Heavy Pound item is
a weapon for Makoto, by the way.
Now, in order to be very complete (and max our treasure, EXP, money), head
back to the top path now and let's go down the left path. There's a guard here
we'll need to ambush the same way as the right path. Once you get to the
SOUTHEAST corner, look behind the pillar nearby (the far back one) for a
semi-hidden [_PIGGY BANK_]. Continue on and kill the next guard as well to
complete the loop.
(-NOTE-) I didn't try this, but to the north is a Safe Room. See if you
can't go up there NOW and save before heading to Kaneshiro, as it
just makes too much sense that you'd be able to do that.
OK, go confront Kaneshiro now (which we have no choice about... personally,

I don't think thieves should announce themselves...). We're put into a forced
battle here against another mini boss though:
MINI BOSS: DEMONIC WARLORD
This is a much better fight than the other bosses we've fought, but of
course reading a guide gives you a fantastic advantage. As you can see,
the Demonic Warlord has brought a Floodbringer Demon and Tornado Devil
with him. Gah, definitely a bit harder. We've fought them of course. As a
reminder, the Floodbringer is weak to NUKE and the Tornado Devil is weak
to Lightning. I learned after-the-fact that the Demonic Warlord is actually
weak to PSYCHIC moves. If you've captured a "Leanan Sidhe" as I noted up
above, you can take advantage of this.
Another great idea is to use the Baton Pass ability and give your "One More"
turn to Yusuke, but ONLY if he is at level 24. If you do that, Yusuke can
use his "Rising Slash" move which powers up extra from a Baton Pass to do
500-600+ damage to any enemy. This will likely kill them of course, especially
if you've weakened them already. It's just utterly devastating. Keep your
health up, hit their weaknesses, and let Yusuke wreak their world to get
through this fight relatively easily.
After the fight, you'll see that Kaneshiro is GONE. Figures. He's apparently
left a journal behind though... "R=C=0, I=1, H=2". Weird. Sounds like part of
a code, right. Well, back to exploring.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Chase after Shadow Kaneshiro
All the guards seem to have returned back to life, by the way. Fight them if
you are up for it (More EXP/Money... what's not to like? Don't forget our money
goal in this dungeon!). If my note from earlier didn't help, make sure you
check the north of this area for a SAFE ROOM.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: OFFICE
Once you've healed up and saved, head south to the elevator. We'll get a
scene in the elevator as we see exactly what we are descending into. There's
just a TON of vaults. Hopefully we don't have to check them all indeed! Makoto
will get us out of this, right?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the basement depths
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Solve the mystery of the PIN
Once you gain control, head to the LEFT to find another safe room. So soon
after the last one, too. It'll make sense by the end though.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: UNDERGROUND VAULT
Head back out and then find the "PIN Entry Panel", which is a blue console
in middle of room. The word "RICH" is on the panel. Remember the code book
we picked up? "R=C=0, I=1, H=2". This comes into play now, so going by those
hints we should have the code "0102". Once you enter it, you'll hear Kaneshiro.
Disgusting. We'll get an updated objective though:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Open the vault partition
Head forward now and head left. We'll have to enter the vault here. The
first of three that we'll have to go through. Let's do this!
VAULT: 1F
---------
Go down the stairs here to find a partition straight ahead that we can
climb over. HOWEVER... what you want to do is to kill all the enemies to
the right. "All of the enemies" in this case means two dogs and two guards.
Ambush them all and take them all out. Just ignore everything else for now
as you clear the area of enemies...
Once everything and everyone is dead, check the right hallway for
[_PIGGY BANK x2_]. The left hallway has some vault doors. Thankfully, they
are both unlocked. Enter the room here and we'll find a LOT of goodies.
There's a [_PIGGY BANK_] to the left, a [_COLLECTION BAG_] to the right,
and a CHEST with some [_WILD CLOGS_] inside. The BIG PRIZE here is the blue
pig. We'll find more of these up ahead, so be sure to look out for them.
Inspect this one to find the [_TORN PAGE 1_], which says "P=1". A piece of
an upcoming code! Easy!
Continue east past the hallways and go down the stairs. We're in the lower
vault area now. Nab the [_PIGGY BANK_] in the corner and move forward to the
enemy straight ahead. Take it out and get the [_PIGGY BANK_] they were
guarding nearby. Head south now and into the cubby on the left to find yet
another [_PIGGY BANK_] and a blue pig. Examine it for [_TORN PAGE 2_], which
has "E=9, A=3" written on it. More pieces of a code!
Head further south now and check the cubby on the right. Kill the guard
here and get the [_PIGGY BANK_]. Now, there is another partition here you
can climb up. Go ahead and do so, as there is a DOORWAY at the top which
leads to a semi-hidden CHEST with a [_BEAD_]. You can jump back down from
here, by the way. I actually missed this chest on my first time through!
Heh...
Go south and up the stairs for another [_PIGGY BANK_] (you can see the
chest from here) and continue on to see a PIN MACHINE on the left. Time to
enter another code. The hint this time is "REAP". This is pretty easy with
the hints we've been given:
o "R=C=0, I=1, H=2"

o "P=1"
o "E=9, A=3"
Knowing this, go ahead and enter "0931" and we'll get it correct. We can
even go straight outside to the vault with a dialog option, which is handy
(go ahead and accept it). We'll be outside again, so head north for a small
scene and we'll see another vault to the left. Go back to the Safe Room if
you wish to save and then enter the second vault to continue.
VAULT: 2F
---------
This vault has significantly less enemies, by the way. Head downwards and
watch the cameras here. Run past on the left side when the cameras go down
and hit the electric box to turn them off. Continue on to a door and get the
[_PIGGY BANK x2_], then open the door and you'll see that we CAN'T go into
the room very far...
To the right of the door we can climb up. Do so and follow the path to find
a [_PIGGY BANK_] and a vent we can use. This is a short vent but we'll be on
top of the cabinets soon. We'll be able to use these top shelves to reach a
locked chest here for a [_PEACEMAKER HP_] and [_AQUAMARINE_]. The gun is for
Makoto.. she is getting all the good stuff this run, eh?
Hop back to the shelves near the wall and go through the next vent you find.
Drop down and head LEFT, then get the [_PIGGY BANK_] in the corner. Open the
nearby vault and to the right is one of those BLUE PIGS. Sweet. Examine if for
_TORN PAGE 3_]... this one says "U=A"... so "U=3", going on the clues from up
above. Transitive property yo! Who said math wouldn't help me!?!?
Go back the only way you an go and we'll FINALLY see our first monster...
er, guard... in this vault. Kill it and nab the [_PIGGY BANK_] past it.
We'll come to a hallway with cameras... go past the blue ones when you can
and hit the electric box to take them out afterwards. Nab the [_PIGGY BANK_]
here and head up the stairs to get yet another [_PIGGY BANK_]. I hope you
are getting lots of money! I'm at 160K right now... will be 200K after
treasure, I'm sure... just rack up as much money as you can! Try to get 200K
IN CASH before you're done (we got Personas to mess with after we're done...).
Head south now to another BLUE PIG. We'll get the [_TORN PAGE 4_] here.
This one saps "G=P"... so "G=1" according to what we know up above. Good
stuff. What's weird here (and I feel this may be a little glitchy, but
maybe not...) DOGS appear to the north once you get that code, so be careful
and hide right away to try and ambush him. Remember you can hide on corners,
even if they can "see" you, you are hidden.
Head east once they are dead and destroy the electric box on the right when
you see it. This turns off the electricity down below. Nab the [_PIGGY BANK x2_]
here and note the PIN MACHINE to the left. We're going to use it in a bit, but
not yet. Instead, drop down to the lower floor (you can go right from where you
land to drop down to the lower platform). On the lower floor, go left, up a
narrow pathway, and to the left is a CHEST with a [_MIDNIGHT RING_].
Head back to the PIN MACHINE now and we'll need to input a code. The hint
here is "HUGS"... hehehe, nope, "HUGE". That is good, as I have no idea what
the "S" would be! Remember what our clues were from earlier:
o "R=C=0, I=1, H=2"

o "U=3"
o "G=1"
o "E=9, A=3"
Go ahead and enter "2319". You can once again go straight to the vault,
which is nice. Go ahead and go back to the Safe Room and save, and while
you are at it make sure NO ONE is weak to LIGHTNING in our party. Heal-all
healing can help as well.
Head forward now and you'll see that there's a forced fight up ahead. We
have no choice here, approach the mini boss and we'll have to fight him.
MINI BOSS: DEFEATED AVENGER
This mini boss has two ONI with him, so this fight will be a bit harder,
since they aren't weak to anything and they like to use Rampage to hit
everyone. For this reason, we should use hit-all magic attacks to help
take out the Oni. Use something like Mabufu for a chance to freeze them
or Mazio. If we can freeze or shock some of them, it will make this fight
easier. Keep your health up otherwise and as long as no one is weak to
lightning you'll be OK here.
After he's dead, interact with machine here and hit the LEFT button. The
path will open up, so move forward and interact with the next machine on the
left. Hit the BUTTON here (no left or right...) and then go back to the
previous machine and hit the BUTTON (again, no choice). The way forward will
now be unlocked. Continue forward and we'll have to go right to another vault.
This is the last one though, I promise!
VAULT: 3F
---------
Head down the steps here... there's a dog ahead, but there's also a guard
to the left, so be careful when you ambush them (stay in cover until the
ambush and get in cover after the fight).
Get the [_PIGGY BANK_] to the right here and note that the room on the left
has the last LOCKED CHEST in the palace. This one has a [_REVENGE MIRROR_]
accessory, a [_CHEWING SOUL_] and an [_AMETHYST_] in it. That revenge mirror
is a great accessory for anyone in general, as it has a chance of reflecting
damage back to the attacker.
Go to the north hallway and right, but BE CAREFUL of the camera here turning
on and off. Hug the left railing and get the [_PIGGY BANK_] in the corner. Head
down the stairs now and be careful of another camera at the end. Once you get
to the corner be ready to ambush a guard. At the end of the hallway at least
you can destroy an electric box to disable the cameras.
Continue north and you'll come to a LARGE room. Just past the door go LEFT
for a [_SUITCASE_]. In the next left cubby, look for a [_PIGGY BANK_]. Now,
there's guards up ahead patrolling... its the first "hard/red' guard I've seen
in this dungeon so far (Dead serious!).
Ambush him to find its a "Defeated Avenger"... that mini boss from earlier!
He goes down easy to PSYCHIC attacks, as a reminder. There's also a dog and
another guard patrolling in the area. Use the corners for cover and ambush
both of them. There's also a guard to the SOUTH, but he is noticeably NOT
moving. You can ambush him of course, but you are likely facing "Defeated
Avenger" x2. Man, I wish I was strong enough to capture one of these guys.
But oh well... use psychic on him and all out attacks to kill them off for
a big reward.
In the middle of this room is a place you can climb up to the top of the
shelves surrounding the room. Once you do that, head to the right/east and
jump over to the CHEST for some [_GOLD-TAINTED ARMOR_]. Sweet. Now let's go
left/west now to find a VENT we can use. This leads to a room with a PIN
reader on the left (we'll get to this, obviously) and a card reader on the
right. The PIN hint is "GOLD" by the way... yeah, that sounds about right,
but we don't have the code we need...
Head north now and kill the dog. Further on there is a [_PIGGY BANK_] to
the left and we can break the electrical box we find to shut off the cameras.
Go EAST now following the hallway and turn north when you can. Nab the next
[_PIGGY BANK_] in the corner. The camera up ahead is turning on and off, but
time it and run past it for another [_PIGGY BANK_] and then break the electric
box to shut it off.
Check the BLUE PIG for [_TORN PAGE 6_]. This one says "L = U + G, D = G".
So... "D=1" and "L=4"... and we know "G=1"... that's most of GOLD right there
although we still need the "O".
Go back south now and head east. Hit the electrical box you find to shut off
even more cameras. South leads to the previous BIG room, and we don't need to
head that way right now, so go back EAST to where the PIN room is.
Now, what we are about to do is very dangerous, so we want to be very smooth
here. There is a blue camera nearby, leading west. What we need to do is run
past this thing and AMBUSH the guard walking around. Tricky timing, but if you
watch the guard walking and time that with the camera you can do this (you will
also want to use GARU and PSYCHIC attacks for this fight).
After the fight, go into the north room. There is a [_PIGGY BANK_] to the
right in here. Nab it and break the electrical box to the north. Inspec the
BLUE PIG next for [_TORN PAGE 5_] (we are a bit out of order) that says
"O+H=10". Well "H=2" from up above, so it must be that "O=8", right? Right.
We have the code now. It was the hardest one yet... niy still easy as long
as you remember previous codes.
You can open the vault door to the east if you want, but it's not really
needed. Head back to the PIN MACHINE now and put in the code:
o "L = U + G, D = G", "G=1"

o "O+H=10", "H=2", "O=8"
o "L = U + G, D = G", "L=4"
o "L = U + G, D = G", "D=1"
So, knowing all these, the code is "1841". Once you put it in, the vault
will unlock and we can head straight back. Go ahead. Head north and into
the elevator after a short scene about what kind of man Kaneshiro is.
We've found the REAL VAULT now, and the distinctive place where the
treasure will be located at! Whee, it's about time, right? We're done with
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Send the calling card
Head to the front gate now. Visit the Velvet Room and register all of your
Personas, but we can definitely do a couple of RANK UPS with the Strength
Persona / Twin Wardens.
The first one, as you know, is that we need a MATADOR with "Magaru".
You can get this pretty easily by doing a PERSONA EXECUTION with these
Personas: NEKOMATA with BERITH. Make sure Magaru gets passed on and you can
present it to the twins afterwards for the Rank Up:

| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: LOCKDOWN |
| |
| Allows you to leave a Persona to learn an attribute |
| resistance. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Our next task is a "FLAUROS with TARUKAJA".
We can do this now if we have the money (and you should definitely have the
money). It is an "Advanced Fusion", so a three-way execution. You need a
BERITH x ANDRAS x ELIGOR.
Between all of those Personas, we will need to transfer Tarukaja. You can
have a regular Berith and Eligor here, but for Andras, you should get a Silky
and Kelpie Personas and FUSE them so he learns Tarukaja (or just level him up
to level 11 manually... but our time with Ohya should be handy here as fusing
an Andras will level up and get us Tarukaja easily enough).
As an un-intended bonus for doing this, we get a trophy when we do our

first TRIPLE FUSION. Wheee!
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Nominationg the Twins" Bronze Trophy for
doing your first "Group Guillotine" execution.
.'��'.

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Our next objective is an AME-NO-UZUME with "Dodge Psy". Yeah, that will come
in time. Don't worry about it for now.
OK, BEFORE we go back to our daily life, you DEFINITELY WANT ONE OF EACH OF
THESE PERSONA'S:
o PRIESTESS
o FORTUNE
o TEMPERANCE
o MOON
o EMPEROR
o LOVERS
This is for spending time with people coming up. Be sure you have one of
each. Once that is done, save up and leave the palace. We did good work today
by doing all we did in one run. Right on! Virtual fist bump!? Oh yeah!

-------------------------
Go ahead and send out the calling card today.

JULY 1ST (FRIDAY 7/01)

----------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today. Sweet! Go ahead and read the new book
we got lately ("The Illusory Popess").
o BOOK PROGRESS: THE ILLUSORY POPESS (1/2 TABS DONE)
As we head to school, we'll also overhear people talking about "Fruit Tea"
at the diner on the way to class. Sounds like summer is switching some things
up!
We'll get a question is class today:
o QUESTION: ...But do you know what Chinese dish Zhuge Liang is credited
for inventing?
o ANSWER: Baozi.
Of course you'll get your [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost when you answer correctly.
OK, after all of that, we'll be headed towards Kaneshiro Palace. It's time
to take Kaneshiro's heart as that infectious music begins to play...
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Kaneshiro's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the bank basement
(-NOTE-) As USUAL (or should be usual), you want to focus on re-stealing

the TREASURES in this Palace. You can get MOST of them one more
time. At the very least, get the treasures from the last portions
of the Palace.
ALSO, this is your chance to obtain ANY LOCKED CHESTS you may not
have gotten the first time through! Be sure to get them all!
As far as WHO to take in this boss fight, I would recommend taking Makoto,
Morgana, and Ryuji. Kaneshiro has a fire attack, otherwise I'd be tempted to
swap Yusuke and Morgana, but oh well. Morgana is coming along primarily to
heal everyone (Media), but him and Makoto (or you even...) can all pull heal
duty as needed. ALSO, be sure you equip some WILD CLOG items. Resisting fear
can be very helpful in the upcoming fight!
ALSO, if you can get the skill "Energy Shower", it will make this fight
MUCH easier as well...
When you are ready, head to where the treasure is and you'll see Kaneshiro
is waiting on us. We're not stealing the treasure this time without a fight
it seems. Be sure to save (of course!) and confront him.
I LOVE how they designed him here, by the way... very "fly like". Love the
arm movements! Get ready for a boss fight!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: JUNYA BAEL KANESHIRO ~ |
| �� |
| |
| This boss fight is two phases, and honestly I had an easier time |
| with this fight more than any other. Part of that is likely due to the |
| fact that I GRINDED QUITE A BIT in Kaneshiro's Palace (for that 200K |
| plus that we needed). I was around level 28-29, for comparison. |
| |
| The first part of this fight is very, very simple. We are facing |
| Kaneshiro on his lonesome here. He has curse magic he can use to either |
| hit one person or everyone (Eiga, Maeiga). He can also just use his |
| normal attack on a single target member. Lastly, he can use "Evil Touch" |
| to inflict FEAR on a target member. All of this isn't anything we can't |
| handle though, and in fact you could PROBABLY just hit RUSH here and |
| your party members would take him out. |
| |
| What you want to do though is beat him CLOSE to death and then make |
| sure you heal up. You could also put attack up on Ryuji to get a head |
| start on this second phase. Take Kaneshiro out and we'll enter the the |
| second phase. It is very obvious as Kaneshiro calls forth a GIANT PIG |
| ROBOT. Oh yeah... this is... this is special... |
| |
| This "Piggytron" has a bunch of new attacks. A bunch of them are |
| "hit all" attacks, so you may need to put two people on healing at |
| times to stay double-safe (better safe than sorry). The hit all attacks |
| are "Metabolic Wave' which can hit everyone for around 100 damage or so |
| and "Missile Party" (which is a good attack name) that hits about the |
| the same and does fire damage and may cause burn as well. There's also |
| a single hit attack called "Occular Vulcan" and probably the most |
| annoying attack: Fear Gas. This.... comes out of the pig's back end |
| (yeah...) and will try to hit everyone with the "Fear" status. This can |
| get pretty bad the more people it connects with, so hopefully it will |
| miss a few party members. Having that "Energy Shower" skill I mentioned |
| up above is a god send as well for this one move alone. |
| |
| OK, onto the final move you NEED to watch out for. This is the |
| "Super VIP Form / March of the Piggy" attack. If you are strong enough |
| (and I have no doubt you are!) this attack is NOTHING to be worried of. |
| As you know, Kaneshiro comes OUT of the robot when he does this move. |
| You can actually TARGET HIM at this time. Do so and deplete his HP (even |
| if you have to forego healing). Once you knock him out, he'll fall down |
| and the attack will run over him instead of hitting us. |
| |
| If you don't stop the attack, the piggy will start to spin like crazy |
| on the next round and after that he'll use "March of the Piggy" which is |
| his ultimate attack. This roll-out move will deal 200-400 damage per |
| character and can outright kill your party. If you MUST withstand this |
| attack (and again... I highly recommend you just hit Kaneshiro off of |
| the ball...), be SURE to guard and heal up afterwards. |
| |
| There IS a special move you can do during this fight if you want. When |
| he is getting ready to roll out the second time, you can choose to |
| "Distract" him with an item. This takes a team member and you need to |
| be sure to throw a valuable item out for him (or he won't go for it), |
| but honestly it is just easier to beat up on Kaneshiro and save your |
| item for yourself. |
| |
| All in all this is a very easy boss all around, especially if you have |
| reduce fear accessories and moves, combined with knowing to hit down |
| Kaneshiro during the "Super VIP Form" attack. Check out his moves below |
| and take him out. |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Eiga: This is a single-target curse skill. Make sure you aren't weak |
| to curse and you aren't about to die and you'll be OK. One of the |
| weaker attacks that Kaneshiro has... |
| |
| - Attack: This is Kaneshiro's basic melee move. Rather low damage to |
| a single target. The best attack you could get, really, except for |
| maybe a missed "Evil Touch" down below... |
| |
| - Evil Touch: You've seen this move before. This is a status ailment, |
| that IF it hits will inflict FEAR on one target. This status may not |
| hit at all, which is awesome. If it does hit, you can either cure it |
| or wait it out. It will cause a party member to be "shaken" and skip |
| a turn more often than not, but will cure itself in three turns. Also |
| note that since we have RYUJI with us, he may just cure whoever gets |
| this status ailment, but that's random and shouldn't be counted on. |
| |
| - Maeiga: This is the "hit all" attack Kaneshiro can do. Maeiga is |
| medium curse damage to everyone. Again, make sure you are good on HP |
| at all times and this won't be "death", but get Morgana to cast some |
| media on you all anyways to stay topped up. |
| |
| - Metabolic Wave: This is a hit all damage move where the the pig will |
| raise up into the air and slam down, dealing around 100+ damage to |
| the entire team. A good reason to have Media on hand... |
| |
| - Ocular Vulcan: This move is done from the pig's "eyes", but is one |
| of the weaker moves he can do. This is a single-target move that will |
| do about 100 damage or so. Way better than the wave attack or the |
| missile party, so pray this is the one you see the most! |
| |
| - Missile Party: Another hit all attack. This does about the same amount |
| of damage, but is a fire attack, and may cause burn as well. Very |
| annoying, and the reason why I didn't bring anyone with a weakness to |
| fire. And another great reason to have Media on hand! |
| |
| - Super VIP Form/March of the Piggy: I'm combining these two moves in |
| here as they are performed one after the other. This is actually |
| his "Super Attack" but if you know what to do you won't get hurt |
| when he does this. The key to this move is to target Kaneshiro ONLY. |
| If you can drop his HP, you can make the piggy hit HIM instead of you |
| and we'll be safe. Easy. No need to guard, take damage, or even throw |
| an item to tempt Kaneshiro away. |
| |
| - Fear Gas: Probably the most annoying attack that Kaneshiro or the |
| pig have. This gas can hit the ENTIRE party and potentially put fear |
| on everyone. One reason I recommended using resist fear gear if you |
| could. Energy Shower is also handy if you have it as well. Otherwise |
| you have to endure until fear wears off. Be sure to keep healed up. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Enjoy the scenes that occur afterward. Kaneshiro is sorry of course, but
not quite enough and also has some words about "someone else" who is using
the Metaverse... someone who is stronger than us? Someone using it for their
own gains?
Not good...
Well, for the night we have no choice but to sleep afterwards, but you
likely expected as much. May as well go to bed. We'll bond more with Morgana
here as he worries about being human. Poor guy...

| NEW ABILITY: PICKPOCKET |

This is handy, especially since it's a skill that activates with JOKER and
not just Morgana. Very nice. As we sleep tonight, we'll have another meeting
with Igor. He will also warn us of another Metaverse user as our bond deepens.

JULY 2ND (SATURDAY 7/02)

------------------------
We'll get a call from Makoto here... apparently the debt has been called
off AND Kaneshiro has been taken into custody. Well crap! We've still got a
few days until the deadline though, so just be patient.
During class we have FREE TIME, courtesy of our confidant link with Kawakami!
This is just... free, free time. There's nothing to complain about here! We
can read, make tools, sleep or study. I'm going to be doing a lot of reading
with this free time. For now, let's finish "The Illusory Popess".
o BOOK PROGRESS: THE ILLUSORY POPESS (COMPLETE!)
Finishing this book will give us a [_KINDNESS +3_] bump. Very nice!
The teacher will come back shortly afterwards, but it will be the end of
school soon as well! Sweet!
We'll get a few messages here. Three of them to be exact. Yusuke, Ann, and
Makoto. For our free time after school, I say we go start a bond with Makoto.
She is usually in the upstairs library or standing nearby. We can return our
book as well. May as well, since we're so close!
Talk with Makoto and agree to go hang out (our Knowledge is high enough for
this, thankfully!). She'll take us to the courtyard. Reply "What do you plan
to do?" to hear of her plans, then "You're totally right". Heh, she wants to
go have some fun, huh? Answer the fun question however you like (I picked "The
Movie Theater") and soon we'll be out on the town with Makoto at the arcade.
Answer however you wish at the arcade, but encourage her to try new things
and open her mind in general (which she'll do no matter what). In the end
she'll have some fun and will rank up with us:

When we get home, we'll have a group text about a shogi player. Ryuji wants
to go check out how cute she is. Heh. Either way, we unlock another marker on
the map, which is awesome: KANDA.
For now though, we want to go get the Fortune Arcana train rolling. This
means heading out to SHINJUKU and meeting with the fortune teller, and then
buying the "Holy Stone" for 100,000 YEN.
This is a HUGE AMOUNT of money, but if you followed this guide and stocked
up during the last palace you can afford this easily. Head there now and buy
it, then watch the scenes that happen. Reply however you wish with Sojiro and
Morgana.
We need to go confront Chihaya...
If you get a text from Ryuji tonight, as callous as it is, go ahead and
DECLINE. We need to focus on pushing new confidants.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 3ND (SUNDAY 7/03)

----------------------
We'll get an invitation to hang out with Makoto during breakfast. Heh.
Soon we'll be on our own though, and it is SUNDAY!
You can check the SHOPPING CHANNEL to see that [_FREEZE SPRAY x10_] is on
sale for 3,980 Yen. This stuff does 50 ICE DMG to a foe if you use it on
them. Sort of a portable weakness item... if you need it (which you really
don't, but it could be handy... you never know...).
After that, head to the UNDERGROUND WALKWAY and buy the juice for 5,000
Yen. This time it is "Onsen Aojiru". Drink it for a [_KINDNESS +1_] boost.
This is also a good time to sell off your treasure for the last dungeon run.
We should get quite a good chunk of change for it (I got around 56K, for a
bit of comparison).
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) Make sure you buys some books from the bookstore, since
we have ran out of library books! This is a good thing!
We need them for train trips and class free time! For
now, buy "Medjed Menace" and "Tidying the Heart". I
bought all of them, personally.
ALSO, when we go to SHINJUKU later today, make sure you

have at least two MEGA FERTILIZERS from the plant store.
After that, let's go spend some time with Makoto. She is in Aoyama-Itchome,
in FRONT of the school... on a Sunday. Why, I have no idea. But there she is.
Go choose to hang out with her.
We'll travel to the red-light district. She'll let us know all about its
history. Pick "You're very well informed". After the encounters Makoto has,
pick "That was dangerous" and soon we'll have a rank up.

In the evening let's go visit the Fortune Teller again. We need to confront
her after all. We'll get a scene here instead. Pick whatever dialog options
you want here and in the end we'll get the boyfriend's name: "Yuya Uchimura".
This gives us our newest request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Ending the Boyfriends Abuse
Now, here's the kicker: we MUST complete this request in order to continue
the FORTUNE LINK with Chihaya. This means that we'll be going into Mementos
for the first time soon, but for now we'll be done for the day.

JULY 4TH (MONDAY 7/04)

----------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today! Let's go ahead and read a book. I did
the first half of "Medjed Menace" here:
o BOOK PROGRESS: MEDJED MENACE (1/2 TABS DONE)
Once we get to school, we'll have a question we'll need to answer:
o QUESTION: Do you know the reason July and August each have
thirty-one days?
o ANSWER: Someone pretentious said so.
What an answer! Ha! We'll get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the right answer as
usual. After that we'll be done with school for the day.
(-NOTE-) For the afternoon, we are going to head into MEMENTOS for the
first time. It is going to be a three-dungeon run (the first area
is SUPER small, so... two-dungeon run). It is also RANDOM, so I
can't guide you through it. Check the MEMENTOS section of the guide
for a general outline of each area though, which include the REQUESTS
in the areas as well as the monsters you can find in each area (as
well as how to negotiate with them).
For THIS afternoon, head to the hideout and discuss the requests. You should
have four of them. You will all agree on them all, and these are the requests
that we'll be doing this afternoon:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Ending the Boyfriends Abuse
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Phaton Thieves VS Burglary Ring
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Sadism Is Just a Sign of Love
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Bark and Bite of a Bully

I'll leave you to it. Check the MEMENTOS section and do the first three
areas you can do. Lots of gold, treasure and a couple of odd persona we can
recruit here.
COMPLETE ALL FOUR REQUESTS. At the END, your infiltration log should look
like this:
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Reached Aiyatsbus o Found the Area 4 Waiting Room
o Defeated Shadow Takanashi o Defeated Shadow Makigami
o Defeated Shadow Shimizu o Reached the Aiyatsbus Depths
o Reached Chemdah o Found the Area 5 Waiting Room
o Defeated Shadow Uchimura o Reached the Chemdah Depths
We'll return home after our trip to Mementos. After a text chat, we'll get
our order from the shopping channel (the Freeze Spray). Go ahead and head to
bed now. Good job today!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

JULY 5TH (TUESDAY 7/05)

-----------------------
School passes quickly today.
We'll get a text from Makoto after school, as she wants to hang out. Let's
go ahead and hang out with. Accept her text to go right away.
We'll meet up with Eiko Takao here. She tells us what she was doing (not
that it's any of our business, really...), but we'll have to answer what we
were doing there. Say "You have the wrong idea" here. The conversation gets
pretty lively after this.
When you get a chance, pick "You can change" (although you KNOW what I want
to pick...). We'll get a rank up shortly afterwards...
.'��'.

We will get TONS of messages when we get home. They are mostly from our trip
to mementos though. The vast majority of them.
For this evening, I ended up doing some laundry (you can do up to four items
at one time, I had KAWAKAMI help with this so I didn't have to use my time).
After that, I went to SHINJUKU. With all the money I got from Mementos and
Kaneshiro Palace, I went ahead and bought the books from the local bookstore
in Shinjuku:
.��.
( - HINOKUNIYA BOOKSTORE - )_______________________________________________

Batting Science 2,800 Yen Cinema Treasures 2,800 Yen
(-NOTE-) Only two books here, so I bought them both.

��`��
After that go and talk to Chihaya and she'll learn about the boyfriend thing,
confirming it herself. "Confirming". Tell her "Fate is not absolute" and then
"I didn't make any deals". She's pretty sure we did something though. State
"I'm not capable of that stuff" and she'll come up with a deal for us in order
for us to prove ourselves... state "I get nothing out of this" to this deal
though.
Hmmm... we get offered fortune telling at any time we want, huh? Well, we
want this confidant link, so say "All right, I guess". A deal has been
struck...

JULY 6TH (WEDNESDAY 7/06)

-------------------------
We'll get FREE TIME in class today, as it is Kawakami's class. Sweet!
o BOOK PROGRESS: MEDJED MENACE (COMPLETE!)
For finishing the book, we get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] boost. Very nice!
For our afternoon activity, since it is raining, let's spend some time at
Shibuya Diner. Order the coffee (like most of the times we go) and at the
end you will get [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] and [_GUTS +1_].
Tonight, we can't go check in with Chihaya. Just as a note, we can NEVER

go see her when it is raining. So tonight is a no go...
Instead, let's spend some time with Kawakami. We won't get a rank up here
but we will next time for sure. We'll move onto the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 7TH (THURSDAY 7/07)

------------------------
We'll get a question in class today:
o QUESTION: What's the traditional food of Tanabata?
o ANSWER: Soumen.
Huh. You learn something new every day! We'll get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the
right answer as usual. Ugh... finals are coming up on the 13th, huh? Bleck...
at least our Knowledge is much higher, right!?
After school, we get a message from Chihaya. She'll be CLOSED during rainy
days, but will now be available during the DAY for our fortunes and at night
for our tests (rank ups). I, um... told you about this up above, didn't I?
We also get messages from Makoto and Yusuke, both who want to hang out. For
now, let's go hang out with Makoto. Accept her text invitation and head over
right away.
Makoto will talk about her troubles with us. Pick "That's unlike you" here
for some points. She is apparently growing close to Eiko as well. Hah! Pick
"Don't you have goals" when you can, and after that (and the text message)
pick "Why do you use it?". She'll share some things about her father here,
so pick "It's an amazing goal" after that to make her quite happy. We will
rank up shortly afterwards:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our evening, I once again ran the washing machine. I got a lot of dirty
clothing, what can I say? I also had Kawakami do it for me, of course.
With my evening time, I went and spent some time with Chihaya. Today, she
will be giving a fortune with a woman who isn't getting credit in the
workplace.
Pick what you want for the first two responses (I choose "Encourage Her"
and then "Overturn your fate!"). When it comes to the third choice though,
you NEED to pick "Open your mind to change". This will lead us to a rank
up:
.'��'.

Well, after out clothing back, our day will be over...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 8TH (FRIDAY 7/08)

----------------------
We'll grab a seat on the train today! Sweet! Go ahead and read something
here. I am reading "Tidying the Heart", one of the books I mentioned you
should buy recently. We are really getting a ton of reading done lately!
o BOOK PROGRESS: TIDYING THE HEART (1/2 TABS DONE)
We'll also get a question during class today:
o QUESTION: What is a common trait of almost all shaved-ice syrups on

the market?
o ANSWER: They have the same flavor.
We will get a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] bump as always. Very nice!
For this afternoon, we are doing another new first. Working at the Flower
Shop job. We'll need to do this a few times in order to unlock a request
in the future.
Working this job today consists of... doing nothing. We're just watching
right now. Once the job is done, we will get [_3,200 YEN_] and will get a
bonus of [_KINDNESS +2_]. This will be enough to give us a kindness rank up!
o KINDNESS RANK UP! (KINDNESS RANK 3: EMPATHETIC)
For our evening, we get to push our kindness up even further, as our PLANT
needs a feeding again. Use the MEGA FERTILIZER and we'll get [_KINDNESS +3_]
as a reward.
Since that thankfully doesn't take any time, and we can't go spend time
with Chihaya, let's call over Kawakami. We'll be able to get a rank up
tonight.
When Kawakami comes over, she'll want to work... but then will immediately
want to take a break! Hah, that's like her! Pick "Want to rest a bit?" here
and then "Are you all right?". It's nice she can rest a bit, right? At the
end, pick "Don't overdue it". We'll get our rank up soon after that:
.'��'.

That's all we have for today. Onward to tomorrow. The deadline is upon us!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 9TH (SATURDAY 7/09)

------------------------
Today's the day of the Kaneshiro deadline. You'll hear about it throughout
the day, but it's not quite... as satisfying as the other deadlines. We do
get a trophy for it however:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Bank of Gluttony Goes Bankrupt" Bronze Trophy for
witnessing Kaneshiro's fallout today!
The day goes onward of course. Example: we get a question at school today:
o QUESTION: What is the sum of angles a through e?

o ANSWER: 180 degrees.
Answer correctly for our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost.
After school we'll be at the hangout for some scenes. As you probably saw a
bit earlier, our popularity soars once again. It's around 35% believe now I
think. Wow, we're getting up there!
After that will be a scene with Makoto and the Principal. Way to go,
Makota! We'll meet up later with the gang as well, talking about studying,
exams and where to go party! Hehehe...
We'll be left with some objectives afterwards:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Observe the case's progress
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Celebrate your success
For the evening, let's go ahead and spend time with Kawakami (I want to say
that Chihaya wasn't available... but can't quite remember to be honest. We
want Kawakami at Rank 10 anyways...).
We're just spending time with her at this point. No rank up, but we'll be
ready for one next time we see her.
Head to bed after that and tonight we'll get a "Real World" scene... a result
of our story including Makoto... Sae Niijima is obviously going to be affected
by this, but we end up making a "deal":
.'��'.

,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

JULY 10TH (SUNDAY 7/10)
-----------------------
Today is a bit of a wash, which is a shame since it is Sunday...
We end up taking care of Leblanc's today. Nothing we can do about it.

Answer the couple you interact with however you wish. The scene will change
to the SIU director after this, who clearly knows more than he should...
We'll get some study scenes after this. A firework festival sounds nice.
Sounds like classic Persona, doesn't it? Hehe...
After the get together, we'll get a call from Mishima. He'll have a
request for us:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Lovesick Cyberstalking Girl
Yeah, you've likely seen her before, if you've paid attention at school
that is. Afterwards, we have no choice but to go to bed. Grrr...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll meet with Akechi on the train ride today. Always interesting...
After that we'll get a question at school:
o QUESTION: What is the name of the light-producing substance in fireflies?
o ANSWER: Luciferin.
We'll get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] bump like normal. For our afternoon activity
let's work the FLOWER SHOP job once more. It is the shop in the Underground
Mall, remember.
Today, we have to do a bit more than just watch. We have to put together a
bouquet! We'll be asked to pick out THREE "Large brightly-colored flowers".
The key to doing this is LARGE and BRIGHT. You want to pick out these
three flowers to make the best bouquet you can:
o "Scarlet Rose"
o "Gold Gerbera"
o "Gecko Orchid"
For doing a good job today, we'll get [_4,300 YEN_] and [_KINDNESS +3_].
For our evening, let's go spend time with Yuuki. You can find him in
Shinjuku (Chihaya is packing up today, so no go there). He'll want to go
hang out, so do so.
Turns out we're meeting up with some girls? Really!? What a smoother guy!
Or... not. Pick whatever dialog options you wish here (Mishima's rank ups
are based on requests done), but you do get points for saying "Great Idea"
and then "We're part of... the Phandom?". Go through all of the dialog and
at the end, tell him "It's not your fault" we'll get our rank up:

,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
We'll get a question in school today (I wrote a bit more of it than I

needed to, honestly):
o QUESTION: This is a painting of the most famous gentleman thief in

Japanese history. What was the name of the gentleman thief
whose family was boiled alive during the Sengoku period?
o ANSWER: Ishikawa Goemon
We'll get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost after that. Once class is done, check
your phone for a message from Mishima. It is related to the bully case we
dealt with earlier. Who bullies the bullies?
o REQUEST RECEIVED: One Who Bullies Bullies
We also get a study request. We're going to blow that off.

BUT FIRST!
We are not done "fully verifying" the request earlier. We need to do some
INVESTIGATION before we get the name that we need. To do this, head out to
the FRONT GATE of the school and to the left. Eavesdrop on the students to
the right to learn what's going on. And more importantly, we get a name
here: "Yoshimori Sakoda". This will update our request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: One Who Bullies Bullies
It also gives us a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - FIND THE TARGET:

.-��
|
| Find the name of an unknown target through investigation. Once revealed,
| discuss the target with your friends at the hideout.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After that, let's go hang out with Yusuke. He's ready for a rank up and, as
you recall, hangs out in the Underground Walkway people-watching...
Yusuke will take us out to the park... so we could row for him! Ha! Go ahead
and pick "I should bring a girl here". This fits in with what Yusuke wants to
capture... "love". Ugh. Well... the scenes here are enjoyable at least! Haha!
Once the truth is out, pick "Love comes in all forms" and after a bit of
dialog we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.

After that, we'll be... profiled ourselves. Yeah... all walks of life...
For our evening, we'll get three messages. One more study request (ignore),
Ohya wants to hang out, and Chihaya wants to hang out. Let's head over to
Shinjuku and see Chihaya. Accept her request from your phone.
We'll witness a man in a marriage proposal problem. Follow his heart, or

go for the money? Pick "Follow his heart" here and after that, choose "Thieves
may steal her away". Things will turn out quite well after this, and we'll get
another rank up!

Today is the second set of EXAMS. As you remember from the first set, this
week is NOTHING BUT QUESTIONS. Our next few days will be nothing but that,

-------------------------
Today is the last day of exams. We'll work our problems automatically here,
which is the game judging your "Knowledge" score. Ours should be "3" or
"Scholarly" right now, so we won't do TOO bad.
We'll have a team meeting afterwards discussing the exams and the party,
so just enjoy the scenes until the evening.
Tonight we'll get some messages from Yuuki and Kawakami. Both want to hang
out with us. Since it's raining, no luck on Chihaya, by the way, so go ahead
and invite Kawakami over... only she isn't responding. You'll learn she's in
the hospital once you use the phone. Oh crap... let's go visit her.
You'll get to see the people essentially blackmailing her during this trip
though. Once you get a chance, pick "Don't pay them". She'll like that, but
the "parents" stick to being horrible humans. Pick "Think this through more"
after they leave followed by "Isn't there another way?". She'll be done for
now though, but we'll get our rank up:

Once we're in bed, we'll get a message from ANN to go hang out at the movies
with her. We haven't see the new movie yet, so go ahead and COMMIT right now
to go out with her.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
SUNDAY! Nice! We'll go hang out with ANN today. Feels like a date, right?
Enjoy the movie, you charmer you, and we'll get [_CHARM +3_] as a bonus.
Naturally! Out in the lobby, pick "I get you" for some more points. I must
say, I liked the "Cake Knight Rises" a bit better...
Once evening comes, remember that you can go visit the UNDERGROUND WALKWAY
to buy some juice. Do so and buy the "Seafood Aojiru" for 5,000 YEN. Drinking
it will get you [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. For some reason, there's no SHOPPING CHANNEL
today, so no need to worry about that.
Now, let's go hang out with Chihaya. No rank up today, but we get points up
with her and we'll rank up soon. Guaranteed next time!
That's all there is for today!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
Today's the day of the summer festival. Honestly, it's a day to just sit
back and enjoy the dialog and scenes. Pick whatever dialog you wish as well
as there's no confidant links at all (although leaving without the girls
would be... just a jerk move...).
There's even some actual cut-scenes here to watch as well! Very nice!
At the end of the day, we'll be back in Leblanc's. Pick whatever dialog
option you want here when Sae leaves as well as in regards to the TV report
and Medjed. We, um... we REALLY need more info on Medjed...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Obtain intel on Medjed
No choice but to sleep after that, so let's go to bed. To bad the festival
was a bit of a let-down...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
We'll get our test results at school today. "Better than average". Much
better than last time! We'll actually get [_CHARM +2_] at this point. We'll
get some texts during class as well where we're told the 25th is a school
day. Bah...
After class, we'll get an updated objective as well:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Be cautious of Medjed
After school, you'll get two texts: one from Ann, one from Makoto, both
wanting to hang out. Let's go meet up with Ann today (it's been awhile).
We'll meet her and Shiho up on the school roof. This is actually a very
touching moment, for Shiho. Pick "Why did you want to come here?". After
she explains, pick "She's gone, isn't she?". Lots of touching moments to
see after that...
After she's gone, pick "Hang in there" for some points. The next choice
we have is very... fateful...
.��. .��.
| ~ LOVE IS IN THE AIR ~ | ( - IMPORTANT NOTE - ) | ~ LOVE IS IN THE AIR ~ |
`�� `��
o Choose "You have me" for a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with ANN.
o Choose "You have the others" for a FRIENDSHIP with ANN.
This is a personal choice, so it is entirely up to you. Either way you will

rank up, and while you CAN have more than one girlfriend, there WILL be a day
of RECKONING.
(-NOTE-) I'm personally continuing with a FRIENDSHIP with Ann. Choose

what you will though. Entirely up to you.
.'��'.

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be back home at Leblanc's after helping Ann out. Yusuke will give us
a long (and unhelpful) summary of Medjed. Heh.
We'll get messages from Ohya and Chihaya here. Let's spend time with Chihaya
today, so reply to her text message and go see her. We'll meet up away from
the fortune table. Pick "Do you want to test it again?". She'll spill her
guts out to us. Pick "Trust in yourself" after that for a good boost of points.
She'll tell us about her hometown a bit. Pick "That sounds peaceful", and soon
she'll throw her stone away. Which reminds me we've spent 100,000 Yen on her.
Ugh... pick "I think it'll work" though. Soon we'll get our rank up:
.'��'.

As we sleep tonight, we will be summoned. Igor will talk to us about the

"Unseen Form" of Medjed, asking us to overcome this and become a magnificent
thief... Huh...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
TODAY! Oh man, today is FULL of surprises...
During lunch today we'll get a very intriguing message. This "Alibaba" seems
to have us nailed. Answer however you wish and then we'll have a team meeting
to discuss it.
The team will decide to meet up at Leblanc's. Sojiro pauses at this and the
name "Niijima", but leaves us be as he gives us an envelope... a calling card?
Things are getting interesting to say the least!
Mishima will text us during the evening as well. He really is trying his
best, isn't he? We get a new objective here as well:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Wait for contact from Alibaba
Morgana won't let us out to do anything else tonight, so go ahead and go to

bed. Bah...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 21ST (THURSDAY 7/21)

-------------------------
After a message from Ryuji, we'll get another... message from Alibaba.
We can actually talk back this time. Choose what you will here (personally
I liked saying "Who is this?" over and over). We'll be FORCED to ask for a
name eventually... which we'll get: "Futaba Sakura".
Sakura...
At the team meeting, everyone will remember Sojiro's last name. Holy carp.
But... does he have a family? Huh... I feel dumb all of a sudden! We need
to ask Sojiro about this.
Pick what dialog choice you wish and Sojiro will storm off. There's GOT
to be something here... we'll get some more text discussion and soon we'll
have another objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look into Futaba Sakura
Not much else to do today, like yesterday, so just go to sleep and time
will march on...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 22ND (FRIDAY 7/22)

-----------------------
Well, today we'll have to look into Futaba. After school and a reminder
that we have school on Monday, we'll be in Yongen-Jaya in order to look
into Futaba.
Go ahead and ask around the streets here. Anyone with a "..." above their
head. Even up to Sojiro's house and down the Leblanc alley. The BEST piece
of talk we get is a shopper, just past the store, who mentions Sojiro buys
enough food for three people...
Go into the store once you've talked to everyone, but they won't be any
help. Morgana mentions we should ask Sojiro. We will automatically go back
to Leblanc's next where we'll see Sae really digging into Sojrio. Oh man,
she drops all sorts of bombs on us...
Once you get a chance, say "Custody?" followed by "Is Futaba your daughter?"
to get... well, not much info. It doesn't affect us, huh? I disagree. Plus,
the boss should be more open, right?
Either way, after this there's not much more we can do today. Go ahead and
go to sleep when you can. As usual lately, we can't do anything else.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 23RD (SATURDAY 7/23)

-------------------------
We'll have another team meeting today in the hideout, mainly focused on
Futaba, as well as what Sojiro is capable of. Pick what you want here, but
I choose "There's no way". I just can't imagine it.
Alibaba will contact us soon, wondering why we haven't done anything and
threatening us after that. Lovely. We'll end up asking about palaces here
(choose what you want) to learn they have no idea. Figures. Ask if you can
meet them next. She... doesn't like that idea though.
In fact, our deal falls through a bit here. This... isn't good. We really
do need that hacker on our side! Bah. We'll be at home soon after that as
we have a text chat before bed.
Again, nothing we can do today. We have to go to sleep. It's a running

theme at this point!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll see a scene between Akechi and Sae Niijima here. It sounds like they
will be our downfall, at some point, doesn't it? Well, not much we can do
about it right now...
After that scene, its time for sushi! We'll get a NEW MAP MARKER due to
this (yes!): GINZA SUSHI BAR. We'll head there automatically.
During the meal, the chance of Sojiro being an abuser pops up again. Pick
"No chance" (although it is up to you). Man, wish I was there with them.
Ryuji will once again demonstrate why he's an idiot and soon our meal will
be done.
We'll run into Akechi after that. The scenes here are really interesting,
as Akechi just puts all the pieces together and even taunts us about his
knowledge. Answer however you wish here (I think it's funny, but I threw
Ryuji under the bus here). Oddly enough we also get a rank up with Akechi
as well:
.'��'.

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
This MEDJED group sounds like they are ramping things up as they talk about
attacking Japan if we don't respond. Oh wow. How in the world could anyone
be on their side at this point!?
We'll go back to Leblanc's after that. How will we get Alibaba's help?
Makoto comes through here again, deducing that Alibaba... may be Futaba
herself. Oh wow, smart Makoto! She'll suggest we go see the boss. Pick
whatever option you choose...
Enjoy the scenes here as we kind-of... let ourselves in. Wow... the scenes
here are just crazy. It's just a little lightning people! Oh my... we'll be
busted soon, as you'll see, but still... that figure that shows up and then
disappears! Gold!
We'll have some scenes at Leblanc after that where Sojiro finally explains
everything. Crazy. Yes, you SHOULD have told us all of this sooner. Pick
whatever dialog options you want here as we learn the truth.
We'll talk amongst ourselves once Sojiro leaves. After a bit of talking,
we will realize that Morgana isn't here! Huh... the rest will leave soon
before the trains stop.
We'll be in our room soon, so try to go to bed and Morgana will show up.
He'll have done a bit of scouting on Futaba. Very nice. We'll head to bed
soon after that.
The day won't be over though, as we have a "real world" scene with Sae
next. Go ahead and answer as you wish and we'll get a rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
The day will end after that!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
We'll have school today, but it will be over soon (thankfully we don't
have to listen to the lecture...).
Afterwards, we'll meet at Leblanc. Enjoy the dialog here as everyone will
agree that we should try and get into Futaba's Palace. Morgana will hang
back with us here and we'll bond a bit more, leading to a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: ACE TOOLS |
| |
| Allows you to craft all infiltration tools. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
It's no good though... we can't find the right keywords to get in. So...
the group will decide to sneak in. We get right to Futaba's door thanks to
Morgana...
Here we will get to "talk" to Futaba... through text at least. Eventually.

It takes some prodding but soon we can ask some questions about how she views
this house. Go ahead and pick "How is living in this house?", followed by
"Why don't you go out?" and then upon the shocking answer, pick "Why do you
think that?".
"Tomb". Well, that makes sense I suppose, but Ryuji is dumb again and puts
us IN the palace. Notice how are clothes didn't change. That's new, as
Morgana explains. We get an actual cut-scene here as well. Very nice! Let's
enjoy it!
FUTABA'S PALACE
---------------
We're at her palace, in the beginning area:
PYRAMID ENTRANCE
----------------
Well then... we finally have control. As well as objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Futaba's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Pyramid
Go ahead and explore to the left. You can jump up and slide down the slope
although this is just to fill in the map. Head right after that. We can
examine the town in the distance here as well as see a set of stairs leading
down to a locked door. A shortcut for a later date, no doubt!
Head inside the front entrance once you are done filling out the map.
GREAT CORRIDOR
--------------
Continue onward and upward. There is nothing standing in our way and there's
really only one way we can go. Eventually you will run into a figure. Talk to
her. This... could go better. Our clothes change after the talk... we are now
labeled thieves, no doubt, and will need to run away. We'll come back another
day, for sure...
Afterwards, Futaba will demonstrate her ability and will take down the
Phan-site server... heh. We should believe in her for sure! A couple new
objectives pop up here as well:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Stop Medjed's plan
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Steal Futaba's Heart
ALSO, once you get home (SUPER IMPORTANT), be sure you use some MEGA
FERTILIZER on your plant. We'll get [_KINDNESS +3_] for doing so, which is
super nice!
Nothing left to do for today, so let's head to bed.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------
As you can see from the top of the screen, we have 26 days to get to Futaba's
treasure and heart... No sweat, right!? We get a tutorial today as well...
TUTORIAL - INFILTRATING MEMENTOS:

.-��
|
| Requests will appear on the Phantom Aficionado Website as rumors of
| the Phantom Thieves spread. Use these tips to track targets in Mementos.
|
| Exploring Mementos and defeating Shadows is an effective way to gain
| experience. Grow stronger and defeat familiar and rare Shadows in
| Mementos.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We get THREE messages today. Ann, Yusuke and Makoto, some for hangouts and
one to remind us that there is a new PALACE to take on. We'll do that palace
at the end of the month, pushing stats and confidant ranks until then.
Let's go ahead and hang out with Makoto today (we have plenty of time).
Choose to meet up with her from your phone and we'll be off. Agree to hang
out with her and we'll head into the school's courtyard.
Well, apparently Eiko has a new boyfriend? Huh. Pick "That sounds suspicious"
here for some good points, She wants to meet him though... and we'll have to
play a role to help out. Heh. Pick "I got this" here (although I want to pick
the last one...). She'd already made plans though. Heh... we'll rank up soon
afterwards:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
No abilities this time. What a shame! Oh well...
(-NOTE-) Our next RANK UP with Makoto will require "CHARM RANK 5 (DEBONAIR)".
As you can guess, we won't have this for awhile. So... she is going
to be put on hold for awhile.
We'll be at Leblanc's afterwards. After a text message about current events

we'll have to decide what to do tonight. Ohya and Chihaya both want us to
hang out. Let's go see Chihaya.
She'll show us a lot of books she's found to give advice to her clients.
Heh. Tell her "You're such a hard worker" here for maximum points. After
that say "But what?" and we'll soon be interrupted. This "Chairman" person
is affecting her somehow. Clearly. Pick "Are you in trouble" after that and
she'll dismiss us, but will be pleased regardless, leading to a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: FATE READING |
| |
| Provides a preview of some abilities for a Confidant |
| of your choice. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
This comes with a tutorial by the way:
TUTORIAL - FATE READING:

.-��
|
| By getting your fate read, you can find out a Confidant's future
| abilities. They will then be viewable from the Confidant menu.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Not too helpful, since we have the internet and all...
As we are in bed tonight, we will get a message about Yusuke coming over
to Leblancs to hang out. There's a note below about these hangouts, so be
sure to read it, but this call is just a heads-up...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
We'll get a wake up call stating Yusuke is here, which comes with a tutorial.
Be sure to read the note below!
TUTORIAL - INVITING A CONFIDANT TO YOUR ROOM:

.-��
|
| If your Confidants send you a message prior, they might visit Leblanc
| and you can invite them up to your room to spend time with them.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) You will get these "Hangout Opportunities" during the
summer break. However, I've found it REALLY IS NOT WORTH
IT to spend all day with people. Mainly because you don't
get Confidant Rank Ups out of it.
You do get stat and relationship boosts in the daytime

(based on dialog choices) and relationship boosts and
coffee items at night, but again these really aren't
worth using your time for if you are trying to make the
most out of your time.
For today, I went to the "Second-hand Shop" near Leblancs. Here you can buy
a couple of key items: the "Retro Game Set" for 7,800 Yen and "Gambla Goemon"
for 5,200 Yen. I bought both of these items.
Next up, head to the Underground Mall to hang out with Ann. We are SO CLOSE
to getting her to rank 10, but we won't rank up this time. We'll be able to
the next time though. I ended up just taking her to Shibuya, by the way, and
got three confidant points.
For our evening activity, let's push our stats up more. It is raining right
now, so we can go to the DINER in Shibuya and order COFFEE to once again get
a very nice [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] boost and a [_GUTS +1_] boost.
In bed tonight we'll get a message from Ryuji about coming over tomorrow.
Do what you wish, guy! Goodnight!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Well, another day. Today let's go to the Underground Walkway and hang out
with Yusuke. He is ripe for a rank up, even if he didn't message us.
He'll end up taking us to the church today, as well as come up with a new
theme to focus on. Anguish! Oh man, we're in trouble. When you get the first
dialog option, pick "Do you want me to strip?". Ahaha, this is good stuff.
After the posing session, the priest will come wonder what we are up to.
He's saving us! Still, Yusuke's idea of anguish seems to be wrong in this
case. Pick "It doesn't look like it" next (even if that sounds horrible!)
and we'll push Yusuke to try even harder, leading to a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: ADEPT DUPLICATION |
| |
| mid-rank Skill Cards. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get a message from Chihaya when we get home. She wants to hang out,
it seems. Instead of agreeing to see her from a text, TRAVEL to Shinjuku
manually for the note below.
(-NOTE-) Go ahead and buy some MEGA FERTILIZER at the FLOWER SHOP here
in Shinjuku. Chances are you are out or low. We want to buy at
least two more, and now is a perfect time since we're going to
hang out with Chihaya nearby anyways.
After that, Chihaya is nearby. Agree to go see her. She'll talk to us about
strong wills before we are again interrupted.
Here, pick "I like fortune-telling". Chihaya will introduce us to Fukurai,

chairman of the ADP. Assembly of Divine Power. Huh, you'll see the rub soon
as Holy Stone sales get called into account. Figures. Tell him to "Leave her
alone" after that. The next dialog is the most important though, so be sure
to pick "You're just Chihaya to me" to make her happy, open doors ahead, and
let her rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
And now we see what Chihaya's issue is. Not much we can do right now though.
While laying in bed tonight we'll get an invite from MISHIMA. This is an
entertaining time, but you want to DECLINE him. We have other rank-up plans
and we don't need the boost with him or the person we'd meet if we went. Trust
me, I've tested it. We sounds like a jerk though... but to be fair, who buys
tickets before asking?!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------
Today we'll get a message from Ann, asking to hang out. We ALMOST have her
at rank 10, so agree to hang out with her. Doing this will incidentally unlock
a location on our map: SEASIDE PARK. Very nice!
Huh... it turns out her rival was giving models the wrong addresses. How
very lame! Ann will formally make a rival here, which is refreshing. When
you get a chance, pick "You really gave it your all". After her speech,
tell her "I'll be there with you".
When you get to the diner, tell her "Of course". There's a bit more dialog
here but soon we'll get the final rank with Ann.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Transforms her Persona into a mythological trickster. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse ISHTAR, the most powerful Persona of the
Lovers Arcana.
Ann's Persona will transform into Hecate at this point, as she gains a
more powerful mask to overcome life's charade... Answer her however you
wish afterwards and we'll be done.
For our evening, we'll get messages from Kawakami and Ohya. Both are
tempting, but since it is raining let's push our stats up some more. We
can go to the DINER in Shibuya and order COFFEE to once again get a very
nice [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] boost and a [_GUTS +1_] boost.
Doing this will increase our knowledge level!
o KNOWLEDGE RANK UP! (KNOWLEDGE RANK 4: ENCYCLOPEDIC)
At bed, we'll get a message from Makoto. She'll want to go see a movie and
will invite us to go with her. Agree to go right away. And then off to sleep!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
We'll meet up with Makoto here to watch the movie we planned. Awesome. Her
taste in movies is probably surprising, but it's all good. Plus, we totally
get a [_GUTS +3_] boost here, which is enough to increase our rank!
o GUTS RANK UP! (GUTS RANK 4: DAUNTLESS)
After the movie, tell here "Not at all" for some points. Very nice.
We are now left to our evening activities. For some reason, I JUST NOW
looked at my TV (twice) to hook up the video game console. Do so as well
and you'll get a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - PLAYING VIDEO GAMES:
.-��
|
| Playing video games will cause time to pass, but various stats will
| increase depending on what game is played.
|
| Games are made up of several levels. Completing one level will fill
| in one cartridge icon. The game has been beaten when all icons are filled.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
A bit like reading books, of course. For our evening, we'll get a text from
Chihaya. Go ahead and spend time with her. It isn't a rank up, but it will
be the next time we see her, which is worth it (especially for her). After
we hang out with her, our day will be over.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JULY 31ST (SUNDAY 7/31)

-----------------------
Today is going to be a BUSY DAY. We're going to reach the treasure in FUTABA
PALACE today, so get ready for a dungeon and tons of battles. It's been awhile
actually, so I'm psyched for this!
BUT FIRST! We can do a few things we can do. There's some IMPORTANT things
after the shop lists below, but we'll start with shopping. There are NEW ITEMS
you can buy at the weapons shop. Be sure to check it out:
.��.
`��
-$- MELEE -$-

��
Killing Scalpel 16,000 Yen Shamshir 16,400 Yen
Quality Kopis 21,000 Yen Resting Sword 21,600 Yen

(-NOTE-) Remember to look below for buying tips! These lists are getting long
now, aren't they!? Sheesh!
-$- RANGED -$-

��

Karura 25,600 Yen Northern Light 21,400 Yen

Retention Vest 24,000 Yen Dogwatch Kimono 23,600 Yen
-$- ACCESSORY -$-

��
Fire Mask 10,000 Yen
(-NOTE-) You should have good money from Kaneshiro, but still, we don't want
to go crazy. Makoto should be good with her "Heavy Pound". I did
buy Yusuke the Jagato. Good damage burst. Ann should already have
a "Whip Sword" from our Mementos trip (very nice!). If you use
Morgana in battle, a Resting Sword is nice as well. Ryuji should
also be good with a "Sleep Stick" from Mementos. And finally buy
the "Quailty Kopis" for you main character.
ARMOR is a wash, really. I only bought one thing: the Retention

Vest for Yusuke. A fairly good DEF upgrade. Everyone else had
on-par equipment.
.��.
��`��
And now the CLINIC:
.��.
`��
-$- Items -$-

��
-$- Accessories -$-

��
as you can tell. You should definitely buy one SP Adhesive 3 for
SP FARMING purposes, if you don't have one already (I bought a 2nd
one at this time). The Healing IV items are nice as well.
.��.
��`��
OK, done with the shop lists!
Next up we have some expensive things we can do. You can head to SHINJUKU
and get Chihaya to give you a STAT READING. Pick "CHARM". It costs 5,000 Yen
so it's spendy, but worth it. After that, do a MONEY READING for another
5,000 Yen. We'll be using that one all day today...
NEXT, go to SHIBUYA and the UNDERGROUND WALKWAY. Go get a juice from the
juice vendor. It's SUNDAY, so they have the stat juice, and with your charm
bonus you'll get [_CHARM +2_] from this. Sweet!
Now, let's meet up in the hideout (our attic) and infiltrate the palace!
FUTABA PALACE
-------------
OK, let's do this! We'll begin at the entrance like last time.
PYRAMID ENTRANCE
----------------
This area is the same as last time, except BEFORE you head into the palace
head to the left. You can find a [_DOG HEAD VASE_] up over here now that you
can steal for some good treasure. Nab it and head inside.
We're going to be using all our team members as we go, but try to keep
Morgana and Ann for healing if you can. Remember, we have that SP ITEM
(SP Adhesive 3) that we can use and swap between team members. With that in
mind, let's do this! First, some very important notes that I have no doubt
are going to serve you well!
(-NOTE-) There is an item we can make called an "ETERNAL LOCKPICK", which

is a THIEF TOOL. You can start to get items for it here. It is
GODLY as it means you don't have to make any more LOCKPICKS. BUT,
getting the items you need in THIS palace is a pain, and it is
recommended you do (most of) your farming at the 5th Palace.
For reference though, we need 20 ALUMINUM SHEETS, which are a

RARE drop from ANZU enemies. We also need 10 LIQUID MERCURY, which
are a RARE drop from ANUBIS enemies. Feel free to grind for them
starting here if you wish.
(-NOTE-) With the MONEY FORTUNE we got earlier, you get BONUS MONEY for
ALL OUT ATTACKS. Try to get in as many of those as you can. Between
grinding a bit for ingredients up above and this bonus, I made almost
500K Yen from this dungeon!
(-NOTE-) The "Stone of Scone" TREASURE DEMON in this location is WEAK to

CURSE. Be sure to have a curse ability on your main character just
in case you run into one, as they give LOTS of money/EXP. Remember
to capture one for the trophy, if you don't have it already!
(-NOTE-) As for who to take into this dungeon, Makoto is a great choice as
NUKE does well. Everyone else is pretty even, so take your picks.
I personally went with Makoto, Yusuke and Ryuji (remember you can
use healing from the party menu, no matter who is in your active
party). I realize this is the same as the last dungeon. No one
really shines in this dungeon though, so pick whoever you wish.
GREAT CORRIDOR
--------------
We'll get some objectives as we enter here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a path to the Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Check inside the pyramid
Head inward and up to the stairs like last time (note we must jump over the
pit on the left side now). There's a GIANT door blocking us though. Inspect it
and choose whatever dialog you wish. Try to head back outside (I'm not updating
our objectives yet...) and you'll be stopped on the way. Go talk to Futaba
once you can and she'll ask you to do her a favor and go get the TREASURE that
was stolen from her by the bandits in the nearby town. Oh wow... well, we have
no choice...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Grant Futaba's Request
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the bordering town
Head outside for a scene. Go down the stairs and to the left, We want to go
to the platform to the left, the one just right of the stairs leading down and
inspect the town. Have Morgana take you over there to proceed.

DESERT TOWN
-----------
Looks desolate, but we'll finally have enemies here! And a new objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the Desert Town
The enemies here are mummies, but should be easy to you around level 30
or so (I'm at level 30 with Akira... some party members are catching up
still). Ambush the first guard on the right path and head south.
(-NOTE-) I learned this the hard way, but go ahead and fight whatever
enemies you can fight here. Once you confront and finish off
the bandit down below, they all disappear.
What you EVENTUALLY want to do (taking the note above into account) is to
go to the square lot to the south. You'll get a scene with a bandit here when
you do. He'll try to be friendly, but will run away when threatened. Bah.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Catch the Bandit
We need to chase after him. Here we need to go LEFT, then RIGHT and RIGHT
again to get a scene with him. Then chase after him once more for another
scene (essentially just follow after him twice in a row).
OK, now you want to go around the block the OPPOSITE WAY to try and "cut in
front of him". This makes him go into the SQUARE LOT we met him at. This time
he is trapped though, which leads to a "mid boss" fight:
MID BOSS: RAGING BIRD GOD
Despite the threatening name, this boss is a push over. You will want to
change to a persona strong against WIND, but other than that just use GUN
ATTACKS to knock him down. Once he's knocked down, go ALL OUT. Do that as
many times as it takes and you'll take him out.
He will drop a treasure: the [_STOLEN PAPYRUS_]. Go ahead and return this
to FUTABA back in the pyramid. She'll give it to us as the [_PYRAMID SKETCH_],
a map of this palace. However, she'll push us away shortly after. Watch the
scenes that happen and soon we'll be in a new area:
UNDERGROUND CAVERN
------------------
Damn, Futaba. It's like she's TRYING to help us... but also pushes us away
at the same time. So odd...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Escape from underground
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a path above ground
Aren't those the same objectives? Bah... To our left is a path to go UP,
but stay on the ground and go forward to the left. There's a [_BIRD FACE VASE_]
over here we can plunder and to the right an enemy we can kill (which is worth
doing as they are still new to us).
Go back to the area you can go up that we PASSED, and to the left nab the
[_DOG FACE VASE_] and kill the enemy up here. Head BACK DOWN NOW. Head to
where th elower enemy was and go UP. This path has another enemy and a
[_DOG FACE VASE_], as well as another way up.
Head up again and go RIGHT. There is a [_DOG FACE VASE_] in the corner over
here but an enemy walking around as well. Kill him and go past him. We'll have
to drop down, but we're in a new area.
Nab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] to your right and go RIGHT to a treasure chest
with a [_SEISHIKI SWORD_]. very nice. GO back and jump the gap. To the right
you can drop down, but we've been to this area already so there's no need.
Go UP instead.
Near the next corner up ahead you can wait and ambush an enemy. Kill him
off and get the [_DOG FACE VASE_] to the left. Continue ahead now and past
the quicksand jump open the chest you find for a [_BLACK ROCK_] accessory.
Who wants a rock?! Haha. This can be used for transumtations later at least.
Now we have to head BACK. Go all the way back until you have to jump down,
then jump over the gap and go UP. Take the corner going left and now go
STRAIGHT. Jump the quicksand to a new area. We can kill a guard with the
corner up ahead, but be sure to nab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] nearby.
There's a DOOR here as well. Ignore it for now and go past it to a CRAWL
SPACE. Emerge and ignore the left drop off point, going straight to another
CHEST, this one with a [_GALE CAPE_], which as you can guess gives you a
medium chance to evade wind. Good for Ryuji to wear when he isn't using
the SP ADHESIVE.
Go to the drop-off point now and drop to the LEFT. It's a dead end, but it
fills out the map. Go up and drop off the other way, but watch the guard
nearby so you can drop down and ambush him. Be sure to get the (odd...)
[_HUMAN FACE VASE_] nearby and take the left. Jump over the gap when the
guard isn't looking and ambush him as well, but don't forget to grab the
[_HUMAN FACE VASE_] by the jump.
That's all there is to do and see down here. Head for the door we passed
awhile ago and use it to continue on. We're still underground, but we'll be
in a new area with another objective.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head for the above ground exit
Head forward and nab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] and continue for a scene. Yes,
the exit is close. Go ahead and use the upcoming corner to ambush a RED DOG
enemy.
This RED PERSONA is a "Lv. 36 Chanting Baboon". Too high for us to capture,
but is is WEAK TO PSYCHIC. Use that and go all out on it and it's high level
won't be a problem (you may need the odd Media...).
Continue on and go PAST the room with the RED PERSONA to the left. Take a
right and GO STRAIGHT, ambushing the guard in the back. Once he's dead you
can loot the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] and the CHEST for a [_MIND CHOKER_]. This
thing gives you 20 SP as a bonus. I prefer the SP ADHESIVE though.
From here, head back and take the WEST path. To the stairs. You'll find a
[_HUMAN FACE VASE_] to the right, but go up the stairs. There's a guard at
the top and a [_DOG FACE VASE_] on the way, so get both of them and interact
with the door you find to head OUTSIDE.
We are at the entrance. Out here you want to SAVE. That Red Persona we
passed earlier is a mid-boss, so this is our backup save. Good, now head
back into the Underground Area and confront the Red Persona to the north:
MID BOSS: COFFIN-BORNE GOD
This boss is odd. Lots of health and really good defense. However, he is
weak against WIND, so you can hit him with it and do an all-out attack
very easily. He's got a lot of HP though, so this will take awhile. In the
meantime, he will try to turn our party members to RATS. This takes them
out of the fight for two rounds as they are "RAT"tled and can't fight. Heh.
Keep your health up and keep hitting him with wind and you'll take him out.
Move past him and up for a [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] and go through the nearby
door. Hop the planks here and go STRAIGHT. To the left is a BALLISTA that
is just kind-of chilling there. We'll use it soon, no doubt. The other way
has a guard when you jump up, so time it so you can ambush him and grab the
[_DOG FACE VASE_] here. Note the GIANT DOOR here as well...
Go back to the planks and go left now. Follow this path up to another guard
that you'll have to time to ambush and then open the door you find. This room
has a [_DOG FACE VASE_] in the back and some sort of weird "reflective panel".
Go ahead and examine it, then examine the cracked wall past it.
Head back to the previous room and just past the doorway look RIGHT. You
can hop up to a ledge. Nab the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] and follow the ledge,
then hit the button to fire the ballista and open up the way forward. Go
through the large door and the small door after that and you'll be in a new
area:
CHAMBER OF SARCOPHAGI
---------------------
We get a new objective here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Search the Chamber of Sarcophagi
Read the tablet nearby if you want. An omen of things to come, or a way
to get out. Head forward and grab the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] while dealing with
the DOG enemy nearby. This dog is a bit harder, with an ISIS enemy joining
the higher-leveled Baboon. Note that this ISIS foe is also weak to Psychic
attacks, so be sure to hit them both with it!
(-NOTE-) This ISIS/WOMAN foe is one I already had before I came to this
dungeon. If someone can get me the Persona Negotiation options
for her and email me, I'd appreciate it!
Use the tombs here to head upwards. Up on the higher level, you'll note
that on the right is a way up and there's a door up ahead as well. Head
through the door first and grab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_]. In here is the
Egyptian God of the Underworld, Anubis, who has an orb we can take. As bad
as it sounds, go ahead and take it for the key item [_ABYSS GEM_].
As you head back, some enemies will pop up out of the sarcophagi. Use the
door here to ambush them and take them out, then go up on the left. Nab the
[_BIRD FACE VASE_] here and go up on the right. There's two enemies up ahead
so ambush them when it is safe (even if you have to go down and back up),
then grab the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] in the left corner.
Go right again to go up. There's a [_DOG FACE VASE_] right in front of you.
Go left now to see another door here, on the right and one further on. Enter
the close one to the right for a [_BIRD FACE VASE_] and ANOTHER Anubis Statue.
It has another orb you can take. Do so for a second [_ABYSS GEM_].
(-NOTE-) Go ahead and take it if you can. I left it and had to come back
for it, but the end is near either way, so it doesn't matter too
much.
Head out of the room and go straight ahead. Go past the second room for now
to nab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] and then go into the door to be in a new area.
GREAT CORRIDOR
--------------
We will get a scene here with a couple objectives:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Open the corridor door
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a way to open the large door
Examine the light if you wish, but what you want to do here is to put each
of the ABYSS GEMS into the containers against the wall. Once you do both of
them, the light will flip around and open the Great Corridor door. Sweet!
You can use the ramp nearby in order to drop down and head forwards to the
door. Open it up and continue up the stairs to the next great door. Ugh, well
what did you expect!? Haha. To the right however is our first proper SAFE ROOM
although its benefit is doubtful considering the entrance is just behind us...
Still, enter it to unlock it at the very least. Be sure to SAVE as well, just
in case you get unlucky in the next area. We'll get the fast travel unlock:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CORRIDOR BOTTOM
Once you have done that, go into the door opposite to continue with this
dungeon.
CHAMBER OF REJECTION
--------------------
Morgana sense a LOT of shadows here and urges us to be careful. We have

some new objectives here as well:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Search the Chamber of Rejection
Head forward through the long, empty hallways. Lots of enemies, huh? You
will eventually come to a new room where you'll see Futaba. She'll beckon
you to follow her to the right. Despite the enemies, go ahead and try and
you'll be stopped. Another trap...
No choice but to continue on. Head up the stairs you find and try to go
left when the RED GUARD isn't looking. The path will crumble. BE SURE you
ambush this Red Guard. It is an "Lv 37 Bearer of the Scales" (see the note
below).
(-NOTE-) These enemies are ANUBIS are are likely a bit high level-wise for
you right now. I wanted to point out that they are like the ONI
from the last dungeon: not weak to anything. Use Lucky Punch to try
and get a critical, but other than that just use your hardest-hitting
attacks and take him out QUICKLY to avoid his light and dark spells
(which can instant-kill you if you are unlucky).
After killing the guard, loop around the square area and kill the other (much
easier) guard and get the [_DOG FACE VASE_]. Enter the door nearby. Use the
platforms here to hope over to a [_BIRD FACE VASE_]. Continue up the ramp and
jump some more gaps. There's a door in front of us, but go LEFT here to nab
another [_BIRD FACE VASE_]. There's another ANUBIS STATUE in the middle here,
but it promises a CURSE if you take the orb... yeah, let's leave it alone for
now...
Head to the door and enter. Kill the guard up ahead using the pillars for
cover and nab the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_]. Up ahead is a button. Go ahead and
press it, then drop down past it. We are right in front of the trap Futaba
led us to (how handy).
Kill the two guards here. They are both RED, so be careful and ambush them.
Run away to respawn the second one and ambush them both. Once they are dead,
you can nab the CHEST to the NORTH for a [_BLACK ROBE_], another item we can
transmute later.
After that, head though the nearby door to the west. In the corner you can
get a [_DOG FACE VASE_]. Head forward to see an enemy pop out of the tomb up
ahead. Go back to the corner to ambush them easily. Up ahead is a cubby to
the left. You can find a [_BIRD FACE VASE_] here. Nab it and open the door,
but do not go through.
Instead, use cover by the door and ambush the dog as it comes close. Much
easier fight that way. This next room has a couple of doors. Enter the left
one for a [_DOG FACE VASE_] and then go back and enter the north one. Follow
this (linear) path until you return to the previous room on the other side.
Jump up and open the door on the LEFT. There's an enemy that will try to
ambush you, but take him out and open the CHEST for a [_SPIRIT BELT_], which
you can use to reduce physical damage.
Go back and take a left to go up a level. Up here there's a couple of things

to note. First, the door on the left. Next, the ANUBIS STATUE. Go examine it
to see it DOES NOT have an orb... and also promises a curse! Haha. Take the
door nearby but be ready for an enemy to pop out. Take him out and nab the
[_BIRD FACE VASE_] in the corner. Try to continue forward to be stopped by a
WALL OF ARROWS. We can't reach the button like this...
What we need to do is head back to the previous room and go STRAIGHT. Drop
off the ledge to below and GO BACK to the previous ANUBIS STATUE. We need to
take its ORB. It's a bit of a trip, but there should be NO ENEMIES on the
way. Go back to it and pick up the [_REJECTION GEM_].
Now, go back the way you came. BEWARE of an enemy coming out of the tomb
on your way back (it is likely a RED ANUBIS). That was the only foe I ran
into though. Go back to the Anubis Statue that needs a gem and give the gem
to it. That will let you go through the door and past the arrow wall, hitting
the button to launch a nearby ballista and open the wall nearby.
Drop down and go up the LEFT WALL to the top. To the left in a cubby you
can find our first LOCKED CHEST. Open it for a [_BLITZ RING_] (which will
reduce electric damage), a [_SNUFF SOUL_] and a [_TURQUOISE_].
Continue on to the next area now.
GREAT CORRIDOR
--------------
This area is rather... cramped. We have the light in here and some sort of
monitor. What you need to do here is inspect the light stand and interact with
the control when it asks you to. We will have to solve a puzzle.
"HIEROGLYPHIC PUZZLE 1"

-------------------------
This puzzle is really easy, but let's set it up first. There are FIVE slots
here left to right. Let's label them like this:
SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 SLOT 4 SLOT 5

.��`. .��`. .��`. .��`. .��`.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
`.__.� `.__.� `.__.� `.__.� `.__.�
What you want to do here is follow these three simple steps. Keep in mind
the slots will move when you move things, but just stick to the SLOT NUMBER
regardless of what pictures there are:
o Move SLOT 4 to SLOT 1
Bam, we are done. This opens the way up the Great Corridor. Head up the
stairs (you can drop down, thankfully, to get back to the stairs) and soon
another door will stop us. There is a SAFE ROOM nearby though!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CORRIDOR MIDDLE
dungeon.
CHAMBER OF GUILT
----------------
We get some new objectives here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the Chamber of Guilt
Head forward and around the second corner you can ambush an enemy. Kill it
off and nab the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_]. Continue forward now. You can actually
go UP if you hug the right wall, but it leads nowhere, so go down when you
can and nag a [_DOG FACE VASE_] before you meet Futaba one more time.
She heads off after a quick quip. Try to follow her to see what happens
(haha...). She really has it out for us!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Overcome the boulder trap
This is pretty easy to bypass. Look across from where you are for a CRAWL
SPACE you can use to continue. Emerge for a quick scene and the head to the
north. The ground is unstable, but you can make it there fairly easily for
a [_DOG FACE VASE_], a [_BIRD FACE VASE_] and to the far right a CHEST with
a [_MAGIC OINTMENT_]. Also, a quick note, you can go UP from where you
emerged to get a bit higher, but it leads nowhere. Just make a note of it
for now.
Head to the southwest stairs now and go up them. Leave the button alone for
right now and kill the guard up to the right. Use cover, even if he can see
you. The blue door up ahead doesn't work, so go right and kick the plank down
so you can continue on to the door over there.
Open it and touch the panel you find. It glows BLUE and gives you a code:
B01010. Head back to the previous room now. The coffins down below will ight
up blue on one side and we're given an objective.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Solve the hologram mystery
So... I happen to work networks for a living (I know, I know, I actually

don't write guides for a living...). Knowing Futaba and seeing a string of
1's and 0's screams BINARY to me. Bits get turned on and off. "0" means off,
so face the BLUE COFFIN and turn the first coffin to the right off, then
skip one and turn the next one off, then skip one and turn the last one off.
It should look like this:
BLUE COFFIN 2nd: OFF 3rd: ON 4th: OFF 5th: ON 6th: OFF
With it looking like that, go hit the BUTTON nearby and the blue door will
open up. Go through it now and nab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] straight ahead.
To the right is a TRAP, so we are forced to go left. Kill the guard and nab
the [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] in the corner. There is a red guard up ahead (kill
him off when its safe) and head forward to a door, but go right first for a
CHEST with a [_STAMINA SASH_].
Enter the room now and nab the [_DOG FACE VASE_] then check out the tablet
to see RED text. This one says "R01100". Well then. Head back to the coffin
room and EVERYTHING will be lit up now.
Check the tablet by the button now. The BLUE BUTTON CODE has changed, and
that is very important. It now says two codes for us: "R01100" and "B10011".
You have to match the rows as such:
BLUE COFFIN 2nd: ON 3rd: OFF 4th: OFF 5th: ON 6th: ON
RED COFFIN 2nd: OFF 3rd: ON 4th: ON 5th: OFF 6th: OFF
Do that and go press the button. Keep pressing it even when things get a
bit worse and soon you'll, um... break it. Go back to where you crawled into
this room. Try to crawl back to see what happened. Hahaha! No choice but to
get out and climb up above the tunnel.
You can see the result of our work. Hehe... We can now jump from boulder to
boulder to get past the boulder trap. Hey, it works! Drop down once you are
able and head forward. Keep an eye on the right for a [_HUMAN FACE VASE_] past
the pillar and then a [_BIRD FACE VASE_] beyond that. Enter the door you find
once you nab those.
Follow the path you find up and past the lights, back into the Great
Corridor once again.
GREAT CORRIDOR
--------------

-------------------------
This puzzle is a bit harder. There are EIGHT slots now, and they are now
slanted so they fit in better. Let's label them like last time (forgive me
for no slanted icons... OK, I typed that and then made slanted icons...
they don't look too good though, I think).
SLOT 1 SLOT 2 SLOT 3 SLOT 4 SLOT 5 SLOT 6 SLOT 7 SLOT 8

_ .��`. _ .��`. _ .��`. _ .��`.
| \ | | | \ | | | \ | | | \ | |
| \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ |
| | \ | | | \ | | | \ | | | \ |
`._.� � `._.� � `._.� � `._.� �
What you want to do here is follow these five simple steps. Keep in mind
o Move SLOT 5 to SLOT 6 (ROTATE with L1/R1)
And that will do it. Head down when you can and up the Great Corridor to
unlock the door. Head past it and we'll find another locked door at the very
top. Morgana at least tells us the TREASURE is right behind this door, so we
are very close...
Head into the nearby Safe Room to unlock it:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CORRIDOR SUMMIT
dungeon.
CHAMBER OF SANCTUARY
--------------------
We get some new objectives here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Open the large corridor door

o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Search the Chamber of Sanctuary
Check behind you and to the right for a [_DOG FACE VASE_]. Head forward now
to get a short scene. The scenery is something else. Makes you wonder why
Futaba has a pyramid for her palace? To the right you can jump the gaps for a
[_BIRD FACE VASE_]. Head back and go past the left gaps (or STRAIGHT, with the
way we are heading) to a LOCKED CHEST.
Loot it if you have a lockpick for the rewards: a [_DOGWATCH KIMONO_],

a [_BLACK ROCK_] accessory, and a [_TURQUOISE_] gem you can sell.
Head back and jump the gap with the RED PERSONA, making sure to ambush it
to make your job easier. Once it's dead, head forward and jump the gap. Nab
the [_DOG FACE VASE_] to the left and enter the door.
There's spears sticking out of the ground here. Not good, usually, but not
in our way. Nab the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] in the corner here and continue. You
will come to a giant hole soon. Examine if for some dialog. Note the stairs
to the RIGHT here lead to a door that's filled with sand. No choice but to
go back and look for a hole we can crawl through (left of the giant hole).
Once you emerge, there is a [_DOG FACE VASE_] right in front of you. Steal
it and go right. There's an enemy that comes and patrols over here, a RED
foe, so be ready to ambush him. You can also find a CHEST in a cubby nearby
but it is TRAPPED. Watch for another guard circling this square area and
take them out, then head to the south end.
Part of the south hallway crumbles here, by the way, but you want to make
your way to the southeast to find a [_DOG FACE VASE_] in a corner, then open
the doors to the south room. Kill the red guard in here you find and then go
ahead and hit the BUTTON. This will take down the trap near the chest, so go
back and loot it for some [_DUST-CRUSTED GEAR_]. We'll have Kawakami wash it
later.
Head north now and you'll see two possible paths: a crawl space and a place
where we can go up. Go UP first and you'll get to nab a [_BIRD FACE VASE_]
and come to an area overlooking the pit. Press the BUTTON here to destroy a
wall and then go back, taking the CRAWL SPACE to a new room.
Open the door you find and then take out the two RED GUARDS. Be sure to
ambush them to make this easier, and if you only do one at a time, run away
and run back to ambush the second one.Once they are dead, head to the NORTHERN
door. There is a [_DOG FACE VASE_] here to the right, but you can also find
a COFFIN that looks different when you use third eye. Do so and press the
button to see another coffin open.
This other coffin is NOT in the same room. It's back in the CRAWL SPACE ROOM
so head back there and press the second button. You'll find a secret room!
Enter it and take the orb from the Anubis for the [_SANCTUARY GEM_]. Sweet.
Head back to the big room now and on the way WATCH OUT for a Red Guard coming
out of the coffin.
Go into the WEST door after he's dead and head north. There's a second Red
Guard here, so watch out for him. Killing him opens the way to another nice
[_BIRD FACE VASE_]. Follow the path upwards, killing any enemies in the way
and soon you will be overlooking the pit once again. Put the GEM in the
container here and you'll make a pathway down below.
Go ahead and drop down and use the light-path, heading east to a door.
Follow the path to a BIG room with two Red Guards moving around. They are
hard to ambush: just wait for one to come west, then when it turns east get
out of cover near the door and chase it for an ambush. Run out and back in
to kill the second.
When they are dead, check the north for a LOCKED CHEST. We have to use a
lockpick here, but do so for a [_RETENTION VEST_], a [_TURQUOISE_] treasure
and a [_RUBY_]. Good money, if nothing else.
Once you've looted all that, head to the southeast corner and use the door
to continue on.
Head south once you do and you'll come to a (RARE) Safe Room. Very odd that
this one isn't in the Great Corridor... Be sure to SAVE HERE as we have a
mid-boss fight ahead.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CHAMBER OF SANCTUARY
Exit the Safe Room and go right, nabbing the nearby [_DOG FACE VASE_]. The
room up ahead has Futaba waiting for us... which means trouble. Go ahead and
enter to face a mid-boss...
MID BOSS: COFFIN-BORNE GOD
This fight is JUST LIKE the first fight against him. Fairly under-whelming.
The big difference is the LAMIA and NAGA that start the fight. Use their
weakness and BATON PASS to hit the mid-boss with his WIND WEAKNESS and go
all out as often as you can. Again, the boss will most likely summon in
allies or try to turn your allies to rats, but even with three members you
can go all out and take him out easily enough.
Once the fight is done DO NOT go forwards. Instead, loo around with your
third eye. The southwest corner has an area you can GO UP at. Do so and
you'll find an Anubis Statue. Loot it for the [_SANCTUARY GEM_], then head
back down and go up past where Futaba was.
At the top, loot the [_BIRD FACE VASE_] and continue on to the next big
room. Go LEFT and jump past the green platforms to the opposite side of the
room. Drop down and use the GEM on the pedestal. We'll light up the pit even
more.
The pathway here has a path to the left, JUST IN CASE you didn't fire the
ballista yet (you should have already). Head RIGHT past the light and follow
this path. You'll run into a [_BIRD FACE VASE_] in a corner on the way and
will need to follow the path to the left and use some more green platforms
to hop to the south at one point too. Just DO NOT drop down at any point and
you'll be ok.
After jumping past the green platforms, you'll see a CHEST on the left.
Open it for an [_IGNIS RING_] and continue south to a new area. Here, we are
high above the statues from earlier. Jump onward and climb the statues when
you must: just continue forward. When you get to the large platform at the
end, go RIGHT, following the narrow path to a CHEST for some [_TIMEWORN ARMOR_]
which needs some laundromat love before it can be used...
Go back now and continue south, following the light until you get back to
the Great Corridor...
GREAT CORRIDOR
--------------

-------------------------
This puzzle is about as hard as the last one. We have TEN slots now, but
if you look, there's also borders to this puzzle that we can't change that
give us clues on what to do. First though, let's number these slots so you
know what pieces of the puzzle I'm talking about!

.��`. .��`. .��`. .��`. .��`.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
`.__.� `.__.� `.__.� `.__.� `.__.�

.��`. .��`. .��`. .��`. .��`.
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
`.__.� `.__.� `.__.� `.__.� `.__.�
What you want to do here is follow these ten simple steps. Keep in mind
o Move SLOT 8 to SLOT 10 (Rotate with L1/R1 to make table stand fit)
o Rotate SLOT 9 (Make Chair go upright)
o Rotate SLOT 8 (Make Legs go upright)
o Move SLOT 6 to SLOT 5 (Move piece UP and then RIGHT, then rotate it
to line up border)
o Move SLOT 4 to SLOT 6 (Move pice LEFT and then DOWN, then rotate it
to line up border)
o Rotate SLOT 3 (Make Body go upright)
o Rotate SLOT 2 (Make Futaba's Head go upright)
EASY! Well... not too hard, anyways. Continue down to the stairs and head
up. You'll get some scenes at the top. Sounds like we can't quite open THIS
door, unfortunately. We'll have to do something about it in the real world.
We get some updated objectives:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Change Futaba's Cognition
OK, that's all for this palace. You can stay here and grind if you wish.
I'd try to grind for those ETERNAL LOCKPICK parts a bit if I was you, and
get some more money. I left at about 500K, for reference. I've heard the
next palace is the best for the lockpick parts, so don't worry too much
about getting them here.
Head back to the PALACE ENTRANCE. We are going to make sure our PERSONA
LINE UP is good for the next several weeks. We do have to come back here for
a (gasp!) Boss Fight, but as long as you have a good HEALING ability and
perhaps some group stat buff spells, you should be OK.
(-NOTE-) Don't worry about having the PERSONA'S down below until after
you do the next STRENGTH CONFIDANT below. I would also highly
recommend you use the Personas and money you have to FUSE A TON.
We need a good variety of Personas to be able to pick and choose
which ones to fuse...
So... for now, be sure you have a PERSONA of each TYPE:
o FORTUNE
o EMPEROR
o DEVIL
o TEMPERANCE
o HIEROPHANT
o DEATH
o HANGED MAN
o SUN
o STAR
(-NOTE-) I actually did the below confidant rank on AUGUST 5TH... but I'm
99% sure you can do this right now. The velvet room is right here
after all. The only exceptino MAY BE the trophy below... which you
can do at a later date (past the 5th) if needed.
We should be able to do the next STRENGTH CONFIDANT now as well. You are
definitely high enough of a level. If you recall, we were asked for a:
"Ame-no-uzume" with the "Dodge Psy" ability.
To get this, we need to fuse two particular Persona's so that we can fuse
them together. If you have either of them, fantastic. You may or may not
depending on how much you've been fusing up to now:
o SUI-KI (Get this by fusing Matador with Orthus)
o KIN-KI (Get this by fusing Sandman with Nigi Mitama... be SURE you fuse
this one instead of summon it, so it levels up and gets the DODGE
PSY ability!)
Doing this will get you the "Ame-no-uzume" with the "Dodge Psy" ability.
Present this to the wardens to get a rank up with them:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: GUILLOTINE BOOSTER |
| |
| Increases the possible fusions of Personas in the |
| Group Guillotine. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Next, we will be asked to bring them a "NEKO SHOGUN" with the skill "DEKAJA".
ALSO, you don't need to do this now, but if you use the ELECTRIC CHAIR to
make an item, you will gain a trophy:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "A Sublime Experiment" Bronze Trophy for
performing an Electric Chair execution for the first time!
Nothing left to do here. Leave the palace to continue once you are ready.

We do get an objective. Hehehe...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head into Futaba's Room
We'll also get a text from Yusuke saying that he's coming over tomorrow.
Oh, and it's a NEW MONTH! How about that! Sweet!

AUGUST 1ST (MONDAY 8/01)

------------------------
Well, we have a TON of days before we confront Futaba. And unlike past
cases, we are going DIRECTLY to her, so there's no "Sending the Calling Card
and waiting" here. We just go.
That being said, there is no rush. Since it is raining today, let's make
the most of it. Don't forget that you have plenty of TREASURE TO SELL.
After getting more money (I'm well over 500K now), let's head to the SHIBUYA
DINER to take advantage of the rain. Go ahead and order the new drink, the
"Frui-Tea" for 800 Yen. Doing this will net us [_CHARM +1_] and [_KNOWLEDGE +3_]
in the end. Really helping with our knowledge!
For our evening activity, I'm having Kawakami help out with DOING LAUNDRY. I
had more than four items, so this seemed like a good thing to do.
After that, I headed to SHINJUKU and hung out with Mishima. We're about to
get a lot of MEMENTOS REQUESTS in the upcoming days, so we need to get him
semi-caught up.
He'll take us out to eat today. Pick "Steak sounds good" here to make him
happy. The topic of where the money came from comes up now... and it's not
pretty. Pick what you will here (I picked "You're amazing" and "You're probably
right" to make him happy) and our meal will get cancelled after all...
Damn... We do rank up though:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MISHIMA'S ENTHUSIASM |
| |
| Increases EXP earned from battle. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll head home afterwards and get our laundry from Kawakami. Very nice!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 2ND (TUESDAY 8/02)

-------------------------
We will get a... reminder from Futaba today. Hehehe...
After that, check your phone for some messages. One is just a reminder to
send the calling card, but read the two from Mishima. We'll get TWO requests
from him here:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: We Aren't Just Your Slaves
Sounds like we need to work at CROSSROADS to get that one done, huh? Nice
of the game to tell us that. The second one about the job has a name though,
somebody named "Nozomi Odo".
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Part-time Job, Full-time Hell
Now, for our afternoon activity, let's CRAFT SOME LOCKPICKS. Here you want
to SAVE and try to get the [_PROFICIENCY +3_] bonus. You should have a good
chance of getting it right away. RELOAD IF YOU DON'T. I know that I personally
will be using these lockpicks in Futaba's palace...
You should also get a RANK UP if you get the three proficiency notes:
o PROFICIENCY RANK UP! (PROFICIENCY RANK 3: SKILLED)
For our evening activity, let's go hang out with Chihaya. She's ready for
a rank up herself. Bus over to Shinjuku and meet with here.
Chihaya will sit us down today and open her guts up, telling us why she
REALLY left home as well as why she sells Holy Stones.. Once you get a
chance, pick "I don't think so" to overturn fate once again and get a rank
up out of her:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: AFFINITY READING |
| |
| Deepens your bond with a Confidant of your choice. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
That ability is going to help us out a lot! Good thing we have so much
money, right!? That's it for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 3RD (WEDNESDAY 8/03)
---------------------------
Well, Ryuji is here. Let's ignore him. Today, head to SHIBUYA as we're about
to spend time there, but first peek into the BOOKSTORE and buy everything you
can:
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Fishpond Spotter 1,800 Yen Ghost Encounters 1,800 Yen
(-NOTE-) If you haven't bought everything by now, do so. You should have
more than enough money. The books up above are JUST THE NEW BOOKS
here, by the way. Buy them as well. Buy everything!
.��.
��`��
Since it is raining today, let's push our stats a bit more. Head over to
the DINER at Shibuya today and order the "Frui-Tea". We'll get the same stat
boost as last time: [_CHARM +1_] and [_KNOWLEDGE +3_]. Any time I can get
four stats, I'm happy.
For our evening, let's go take a soak in the tub. It's raining, so we can
SOAK LONGER. Go ahead and spend extra time here today. At the end, you'll
get a nice [_CHARM +3_] bonus, which is just enough to push us to the next
rank:
o CHARM RANK UP! (CHARM RANK 4: CHARISMATIC)
Oh, we're getting close to maxing out a couple of these huh!? Patience
though: we still got a ways to go!
During the night, we'll get a message from Mishima. Well... be sure to
TURN HIM DOWN here. As bad as that is. We've got people to hang out with
and requests to get tomorrow...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 4TH (THURSDAY 8/04)
--------------------------
We'll get a message from Takemi here. She seems torn on talking with us.
We should definitely go see her, but curry comes first! (Note that we got
the message as our CHARM is high enough now...).
Before we go see her, go check out the TV to get a question:
o QUESTION: So which one of these counts as larceny? You be the judge!
o ANSWER: Joyride, but return the car.
Answer correctly for a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost.
OK, go ahead and head over to Takemi's Clinic now. Ask about the Clinical
Trial and you'll melt her heart (you charmer, you). She'll tell you what is
bothering her. Pick "What about Miwa-chan?" here to learn what happened to
her. That... really sucks. After that, pick "I'm your ally" when you can to
make her happy, then "And your patients?".
After all of this, ask "What's his full name" and then make up an excuse
to learn it is "Shoichi Oyamada". Hehehe... We'll get a request here as a
result:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Bad Medicine
Once we get home, we'll get a request from Chihaya to go see her. This is
going to result in another request, so let's go ahead and rack them up. Go
ahead and accept her invite from the cell phone and we'll go see her.
Pick whatever options you want her with Chihaya as she's just telling you
what's going on. At the end, pick "Tell me his name" to get a full name of
the director: "Yuichi Fukurai". Another target for Mementos...
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Debunking the Psychic!
Well, that was an EVENTFUL day. During the night, we'll get a text from
Yusuke. He wants to go see a movie, which is great for us as we haven't seen
this month's movie yet (if you are following this guide, of course) but we
need to get Yusuke to Rank 10 still. Go ahead and COMMIT right now to make
plans with him for tomorrow...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 5TH (FRIDAY 8/05)

------------------------
We'll meet up with Yusuke here. We'll get to hear some dialog, which is
cool, and we'll end up getting [_KINDNESS +3_], which is nice. When you get
out, tell Yusuke "I don't mind" to get some bonus points with him. Very nice.
For our evening time, read the messages we get. The most important one is
from Mishima, who says there's violence going on in the Shibuya Underground
Mall and Morgana suggests we work there. Heh... This ends in a request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Who's Been Assaulting People?
For our evening, we're going to put our newest CHIHAYA ABILITY to use. Go
and see her and have your FORTUNE READ. You want to pick the COMPATABILITY
FORTUNE. This will give you affinity points for whoever you choose. Pick
"Ichiko Ohya" here. It costs 5,000 YEN but it is quite worth it!
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Ichiko Ohya"
(-NOTE-) I'm doing that note up above so that when you do affinity fortune
readings, they will stand out in the guide.
After that, let's go meet with Ohya. Use your phone to get there. Before
we talk to her, go ahead and talk to Lala Escargot. Tell her that "I want
to work here part-time". This is part of a request we still need to get to
the bottom of.
Talk to her again for a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - SPENDING TIME WITH CONFIDANTS:

.-��
|
| Working at the bar will cause time to pass, but you will receive money.
|
| Additionally, sometimes talking with the regular customers will improve
| various stats.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Pass on working for now. Talk to Ohya and hang out with her.
She'll take us away from the bar. Soon someone will come and approach us.
Or "Catch Ohya" it would look like. Her chief! Hehe. When you get the option
go ahead and pick "She hasn't done anything wrong". Ohya will make some VERY
bold claims here... shall we play along?
Go ahead and pick "Don't tell anyone" here to play along and make her happy
and once the chief starts putting the pressure on for real, tell her that
"Our movie is about to start". This should get her in the clear for awhile.
We'll get our rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SHOCKING SCOOP |
| |
| Delivers the same effects as Rumor-filled Scoop, but |
| to greater effect. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We will also get a nice [_CHARM +3_] boost as well for that rank up with
Ohya. A very nice bonus, for sure. Our day will be over after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 6TH (SATURDAY 8/06)

--------------------------
Ah, another day! Today we are going to go get our fortune done again. Head
to Shinjuku and go visit Chibaya. We're going to get another fortune reading
to head-off needing to "spend time" with someone. Who needs that bother!?
After that, go to the Shibuya Underground Mall and work the FLOWER JOB. We
are doing this for the last time, but it is very much worth it this time.
After your job today, pick "What Happened?" followed by "Attacked by who?".
The shop owner will give us a name: "Taizo Naguri".
We also get paid [_3,200 YEN_] and get a [_KINDNESS +2_] bump for working.
More importantly, our request from earlier gets updated!
o REQUEST RECEIVED (UPDATED): Who's Been Assaulting People?
Very nice! For our evening time we get messages from Kawakami and Mishima,
both who want to hang out. Let's hang out with Kawakami. Go ahead and call
her over.
Once Kawakami comes over, she will tell you that she's going to quit. Huh?
Oh, a better job? Ask her if "Is this really what you want?" for good points,
then when you hear her plan, say "If that's what you decided" to make her
think. Tell her "That's your answer" after that and "Mistakes can be fixed".
She'll come to an answer, but will ask what we thing about it. Heh. Tell her
"Be confident in your answer" and we'll get a rank up!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After the rank up we'll have one more dialog choice. Pick "I want to protect
you" here for good points. Kawakami will leave soon afterwards... and that,
everyone, is the end of this day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 7TH (SUNDAY 8/07)

------------------------
SUNDAY!
It's been awhile, but we can actually buy something at the SHOPPING CHANNEL
today. They are selling [_COOLIFIED PAD x20_] for 1,980 YEN. These things can
cure burns, so go ahead and buy them if you wish (I did).
After that, since we are rolling in money still (we ARE rolling in money
still, right?). Head to Shinjuku and get a STAT BOOSTING FORTUNE. You want
to pick "PROFICIENCY".
Next, head to Shibuya Underground Walkway. Buy the STAT BOOSTING DRINK here.
Today it is the "Vitality Aojiru". Spend 5,000 Yen and drink it down and you
will gain [_PROFICIENCY +2_]. Very nice!
NOW! For our upcoming trip, there are a few things that will help:
o Relax Gel - Cures a number of status effects. More importantly, cures

Despair, which we'll see a lot in a bit...
o Alert Capsule - Cures Dizzy, amongst other things. Again, we'll see
this in quite a bit.
As you can probably guess, today we are going to take FUTABA'S HEART!
Call the gang in and at the hideout look into the requests to get that out
of the way. Morgana will go through them one by one. The only one we don't
have all the info on yet is "We Aren't Just Your Slaves", but every other
one is ready to go.
After that, do the "Send Calling Card". When a dialog choice comes up, pick
"We'll be honest" which should do the trick. The next few scenes here are
just plain gold. Just... wow.
Enjoy them all. No need for me to go into them. We'll soon be back in the
palace and that fantastic music will start to play... are you ready for this!?
FUTABA'S PALACE
---------------
We'll get our objectives here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Go through the Cognitive Door
There are a couple worth-while notes here before we get into it:
(-NOTE-) Leave Ryuji behind for this battle. His weakness to WIND won't
do us any good. Morgana is a bit better as he can heal the group
easily. Makoto is a great pick to bring as well for her "Energy
Shower" ability.
(-NOTE-) Be sure to UNLOCK ANY CHESTS before going after the treasure. Also,
remember that a lot of the TREASURE VASES have respawned throughout
the palace. Pick them up now if you wish.
Once you are ready, head up to the very top of the Great Corridor and enter
the room. You'll head up to a brand new area soon.
CHAMBER OF EMPTINESS
--------------------
Well well... it seems we aren't done exploring this palace after all! The
treasure is above us, so let's get going!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Traverse the Chamber of Emptiness

Head up the stairs nearby and nab the [_DOG FACED VASE_]. Continue up the
steps and watch out for the guard to the left. There's a [_DOG FACED VASE_]
on the next platform. The path also splits here: up or down?
Let's go UP first, dealing with that guard. There's a [_HUMAN FACED VASE_]
here. Jump the gap now and get the next [_HUMAN FACED VASE_]. From here you
can drop down. There's a THIRD [_HUMAN FACED VASE_] here in the corner, but
more importantly there's TWO GUARDS here that reach this area. One from both
directions. Use the green pillars here to ambush them both.
From here we can go UP or DOWN. Go DOWN first and to the RIGHT. You need to
ambush a guard down here, but you can nab a [_HUMAN FACED VASE_] to the right.
This path loops back around to where we were earlier, by the way. No need to
go back there though. Instead, go bo the coffins and jump the gap when the
guard isn't looking so we can ambush him. This path leads up to a CHEST which
you can loot for a [_BALM OF LIFE_].
Head back now and jump the gap, going right and up to the only place we
haven't gone yet. There is a [_BIRD FACED VASE_] on the way. Enter the door
you find over here to start the boss fight...
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: COGNITIVE WAKABA ISSHIKI ~ |
| �� |
| |
| This boss fight is once again two phases. The boss doesn't start off |
| with that name up above, by the way. It starts out as "Beast That Rules |
| the Palace". Once it gets to the second phase, it will have its proper |
| name. Still, this is a fairly easy boss fight, especially since we |
| don't have anyone weak to wind attacks. |
| |
| The first part of this fight is us surviving. Simply, surviving. Here |
| you want to use whatever BUFFING items you can. Put Defense UP on |
| everyone, or even Evasion UP on everyone (or both). You can ONLY hit |
| the boss with GUNS or MAGIC here. Just use your mid-level magic spells |
| and keep everyone healed up. At SOME POINT in the fight you will see |
| the boss use "Rapid Ascent". This gives you TWO ROUNDS to heal and buff |
| up. After that, GUARD as the boss will use "Sphinx Dive" to do some |
| major damage. |
| |
| After that attack, we'll get SEVERAL scenes is a row. Enjoy them. |
| Futaba's scenes will mark the transition from "Phase 1" of the fight |
| to "Phase 2". Man, all of these Futaba Scenes are fantastic! But... |
| back to the fight. Futaba will make a BALLISTA appear behind us, and |
| we'll be able to send someone over to it. |
| |
| Now, for this second phase of the fight, send a person over to the |
| BALLISTA. I recommend Yusuke, leaving your main character, Morgana |
| and Makoto behind. This second phase is in two parts: the "Flying" |
| part and the "Downed" part. When Wakaba is flying, keep your health up |
| and buffs up with two characters and hit him with mid-level magic with |
| a third character. The attacks to watch out for here (see below as well) |
| are "Dreadful Scream" for the "Despair" status and the Sphinx Swipe, |
| which can make you use heal-all magic. |
| |
| Keep your buffs and healing up until the person you sent out to the |
| Ballista uses it. When Wakaba goes DOWN, go ALL OUT on her. Now, if |
| you can, use any item in your inventory to put ATTACK UP on everyone. |
| Then go all out on Wakaba. Use your highest HP attacks on him with |
| whoever you can and after a few rounds he will take to the skies again. |
| |
| This pattern will repeat. Heal and buff up ASAP, and send someone to |
| the BALLISTA, which Futaba will replace. Read up on the attacks below |
| and use items when needed (or abilities) to cure despair at the very |
| least. Once you knock her down again you should be able to take her |
| out once and for all! |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Slam: This move is a single-target attack. You'll see this move |
| quite a bit which is good as it is the weakest attack the boss has. |
| The boss may use this move twice in a row of course. If it does, a |
| single Media should be able to heal everyone up. |
| |
| - Wing Blast: This is a hit-all move where the boss will flap its |
| wings and hit everyone with a wind attack (the biggest reason we |
| don't have Ryuji with us... This attack can also cause the "Dizziness" |
| on random targets. This generally doesn't affect your magic casting |
| ability though, just so you know. |
| |
| - Rapid Ascent/Sphinx Dive: I'm pairing these moves together. This move |
| is dangerous, but you get SO MUCH TIME between the ascent and the dive |
| that you can fully heal up and buff up as well. On the third turn, BE |
| SURE you guard. This will dampen the hit of course and you will only |
| lose about half of your health. Heal up afterwards and you'll be OK. |
| |
| - Sphinx Swipe: One of the few moves you'll start seeing when the fight |
| truly begins. This is a hit-all physical attack. A lot like Wing Blast |
| but without the wind attack. Be sure to use a heal-all move afterwards |
| to heal up. |
| |
| - Dreadful Scream: Probably the most annoying attack. This scream has |
| a chance to hit all party members with despair. Despair will cause |
| you to miss a turn and lose SP, so be sure to heal it up right away |
| when she lands it (and to get your turn back... totally worth it). |
| This is where those items we bought earlier come in handy. Either |
| that or have Makoto use Energy Rain. Either way works, but since |
| Makoto may be despairing it is good to have options... |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Enjoy the scenes once you beat the boss. We'll have plenty of text here as
well as an animated cut-scene (love it!). Soon we'll be back in the real
world.
More scenes and dialog await us. Enjoy it all. Soon we'll be at Leblanc's
with the day coming to an end. We have some updated objectives here:
o OBJECTIVE: Stop Medjed's Plan
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Wait for Futaba to recover
We have no choice but to go to bed for the night. Good job today! We have
won over a very reclusive hacker to our side... well, whenever she wakes up
that is...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 8TH (MONDAY 8/08)

------------------------
Today is a good day to relax after that fight yesterday... relax by eating!
With our current stats (4 Charm, Knowledge, Guts and 3 Kindness, Proficiency)
we should be able to take the SECOND burger challenge.
(-NOTE-) LUCK Fortune Telling doesn't help with the rewards below... trust
me I tried... I am greedy, what can I say!?!
Go ahead and head to Shibuya and "Big Bang Burger". Take the challenge for
1,500 Yen. With that stats that we have, you should be able to finish it,
which nets you the [_1ST MATE BADGE_]. This accessory gives you 30 HP instead
of the 10 you get from the 2nd Mate Badge.
More importantly, it also gives us a TON of stats (probably the most we've
ever seen): [_GUTS +2_], [_KNOWLEDGE +2_], [_CHARM +2_], [_PROFICIENCY +2_].
I absolutely love it! So very good!
We'll head home and get our [_COOLIFIER PAD x20_] we ordered.
For our evening activity,let's do some reading (we haven't done this in a
while, and need to raise our PROFICIENCY to Rank 4 as soon as we can for the
BAR JOB). Go ahead and read at the Leblanc Bar Stool. Pick "Tidying the Heart"
and you'll complete it:
o BOOK PROGRESS: TIDYING THE HEART (COMPLETE!)
Very nice! Another book down and a [_PROFICIENCY +3_] boost to boot. Still
need more proficiency, but this helps for sure.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 9TH (TUESDAY 8/09)

-------------------------
Today you get a mementos request (ignore it) and a text from Yusuke. He wants
to hang out, but as you can see, we... hesitate on doing so. This is a SIGN: we
CANNOT actually push his rank any further. We need RANK 4 PROFICIENCY to do so
(yet another reason to focus on proficiency). DECLINE his request.
Instead, be sure to SAVE and spend the day hours crafting. Make SURE you get
the THREE NOTES at the end for [_PROFICIENCY +3_]. I would also recommend you
make lockpicks for the next dungeon (at least four) and then after that, make
things you haven't made before. There is a trophy for making one of each of
the thief tools, so you may as well make some headway on that while you can.
For our evening activity, head to the AIRSOFT SHOP, "UNTOUCHABLE" and then
tell him you looked in the bag. This will start a relationship with him, and
he'll give you the [_TKACHEV II_] for helping him out. Tell him "I want to see
more" and he'll take you in the back.
Back here, tell him you are a "Gun customization guru" and then when he gives
you a deal, state "This sounds suspicious". Go with "What's your goal here?"
and after that pick "I'll do what I can". After all of that, we will have
made a deal with him. We'll get a real-world scene with Sae and get our first
rank up in the "Hanged Man" Arcana:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: WEAPONS DEALER |
| |
| HANGED ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: STARTER CUSTOMIZATION |
| |
| Allows you to customize guns to improve |
| their performance. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Very nice. That's all we have for today. Goodnight!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 10TH (WEDNESDAY 8/10)

----------------------------
We'll get another message about the Mementos Requests, but we aren't done
racking up info yet so ignore it.
More importantly, you can use MEGA FERTILIZER today on your plant. You will
get a nice [_KINDNESS +3_] boost for doing so, while wasting no time! Very
nice!
We're going to do more crafting this morning. Need to get our proficiency
up. Be sure to SAVE and then make whatever you want at your workbench. Again,
I would recommend making whatever you don't have yet to work towards the
trophy. Make sure you get [_PROFICIENCY +3_], and if you don't be sure to
reload.
For the evening, go to SHINJUKU and go meet up with Mishima. He will be

ready to hang out and ready for a rank up. He'll take us to the diner to
hang out.
Here you can pick whatever you wish (since his confidant works a bit
different and all..). He DOES give off notes on "Is it for me?" and the
"Good idea" options though, just FYI. You'll rank up no matter what in
the end:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MISHIMA'S DESPERATION |
| |
| Increases EXP earned by backup members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get a scene here afterward with Mishima's "classmates". Bah, what a
bunch of jerks. He's not too phased though, as he has a purpose. That's good.
After that, we'll get a message from Yusuke stating he is coming over tomorrow.
Meh, oh well. It'll be time to go to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Today, thanks to us hanging out with Mishima, we will get another mission
(or request) to look into from Mishima. This one sounds like animal cruelty
if you ask me! We MUST look into it!
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Calling for Justice for Cats
We'll look into this more later. For our day time activity, head to the
Shibuya Diner and order the "Nostalgic Steak". We haven't had that in awhile
as you'll recall. Order it and thanks to the rainy day we will get some nice
boosts: [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] and [_KINDNESS +1_].
For our evening activity, we'll get a text message from Yoshida. Let's go
hang out with him. Accept his invitation to go see him right away. He's
apparently on the side of the Phantom Thieves! Heh. He'll ask us to go with
him to meet someone and we'll be off.
More political talk here, of course. Yoshida is being recruited... if he

will fall in line. Go ahead and pick "You should decline" here for some
points. After that you can pick what you wish. I choose to pick "He will win
the election" followed by "I still believe in him". Good to back up our guy,
right? In the end we'll get his appreciation followed by a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We also get a nice [_CHARM +3_] boost here. Very nice. The day will advance
to the next day automatically after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Today we're going after that mission that Mishima told us about. That means
going to the Shibuya Convenience Store job and working. You'll go through your
shift, but at the end talk to your co-worker (manager?) and choose whatever
you wish. Ask for a name at the end and you'll get "Kazuo Tsuboi". This will
update our request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED (UPDATED!): Calling for Justice for Cats

We get [_2,800 YEN_] as well for our work. Chump change...
For our evening, Ohya will ask to hang out. Again. Let's go with her this
time though. We ARE NOT quite ready to rank up with her... so go to SHINJUKU
and get an AFFINITY reading for her:
Go to CROSSROADS now and talk to Ohya. We'll be able to rank up this time,
thanks to the past two readings. She'll stay in the bar and chat with us this
time. She'll tell us she learned about our past. Pick "Because of your
incident?" here and then "You can trust me". We'll FINALLY get to hear about
her partner, Kayo Murakami. Oh damn!
Ask "What was the cause of death?" next to learn it isn't known and who the
police suspect as the killer (you guessed it...). After the story, pick
"That's unforgivable" for some good points. We'll rank up after that:
.'��'.

Lala will send us home afterwards. Before bed, Ryuji will say he is going
to come over tomorrow. And that's all for this day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Another day, another chance to push our stats up. Today is all about stats
but will set us up for tomorrow. For the morning/daytime, go ahead and BE
SURE TO SAVE, and then craft in your room. Make whatever you wish. Personally
I made a TON of Lockpicks.
You should get [_PROFICIENCY +3_] here. Reload if you don't and try again.
Doing this will also net you a rank up:
o PROFICIENCY RANK UP! (PROFICIENCY RANK 4: MASTERFUL)

For our evening activity we are doing much of the same. SAVE BEFORE YOU DO
THIS. We are going to go BATHE in the bath. We have a chance of getting a
[_CHARM +3_] here by STAYING IN LONGER. RELOAD and try again if you get the
guts outcome. We want the maximum charm option.
After those two things, the day will be over. Tomorrow will be awesome!
Look forward to it!

AUGUST 14TH (SUNDAY 8/14)

-------------------------
Today... is going to be the single best STAT boost day we've ever had.
Let's start off with going to SHINJUKU. We need a LUCK/STATS reading. Go

ahead and pick "GUTS" here. After that, go ahead and buy an AFFINITY reading
as well. It all costs a bit, but its worth it.
While we are here, we can also buy a book at the nearby bookshop:
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Batting Science 2,800 Yen Cinema Treasures 2,800 Yen

Flowerpedia 2,800 Yen
(-NOTE-) "Flowerpedia" is the new book here. Be sure to buy it (we want them
all eventually). Buy them all now if you haven't already.
.��.
��`��
Next, head to the UNDERGROUND WALKWAY in Shibuya and go to the JUICE VENDOR.
It's Sunday, so spend the 5,000 Yen and buy the "Nasty Aojiru". Drink it down
for a nice [_GUTS +2_] boost.
Now, we are ready to take on the next BIG BANG BURGER challenge. Your stats
for this should be everything at FOUR, except for Kindness, which should be
at THREE.
If you have that and have been following the guide, you are good to go! Take
on the challenge and you'll see the biggest burger in the world! Hahaha. We
will be able to eat it though, amazingly. For doing so we get a reward from
the restaurant: the [_CAPTAIN BADGE_]. This gives you 50 HP, instead of the
30 or 10 from the other prizes.
More importantly, we get an ENORMOUS STAT BOOST REWARD. Seriously, you will
get [_GUTS +3_], [_KNOWLEDGE +3_], [_CHARM +3_], and finally [_PROFICIENCY +3_].
That's TWELVE stat points. Just ridiculous. This is great...
We'll be at Leblanc's after that. It is SUNDAY, so check the TV for the

SHOPPING CHANNEL. Today you can buy [_SECOND MAID x30_] for 1,980 yen. Buy
it if you wish (I did...). It does 10 HP recovery to an ally... so it's very
much your call.
For our nighttime activity, we get a text from Yoshida, but let's go hang
out with Iwai instead. He is at the Airsoft Shop "Untouchable". Tell him you
are here to work and he'll go out on a job with us.
Listen to his meeting and soon he will cough, which is the signal we both
agreed on. Pick "Maybe I should call him" here and after he leaves the man
will question us. Pick "Nothing in particular" and then once the man is gone
pick "What should I do now?". After all of this, we will get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also get a [_PROFICIENCY +2_] boost as Iwai tells us to order something
on him. And that's it for today. We'll be on the next day before you know it!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
SIX more days until "The Cleanse". Ugh, all the waiting...
Today we're spending more AFFINITY money. Head to SHINJUKU and see Chihaya
for a fortune reading. Pick Affinity and Ichiko Ohya.
We'll be ready to hang out with her tonight, thanks to that. Very nice! For
our daytime activity though, let's go see Yusuke. He is ready for a rank up,
as you'll recall when we denied him earlier. We SHOULD HAVE PROFICIENCY RANK 4
now though, so we can hang out with him.
He is at Shibuya, in the Underground Walkway. Go choose to hang out with him

and he'll take us back to his old house.
Here, tell him that "It feels nostalgic" and after a bit of dialog he will
try to get in. Try and fail. Pick "We should get it fixed", but that really
isn't an option. Thankfully, we will fix the door, again all thanks to our
PROFICIENCY RANK 4. The scene will continue on...
Once you get a chance, pick "Are you OK?". Madarame will come up again of
course. Here, pick "Maybe he was sympathetic". After that a door will again
open up for Yusuke. We'll meet the man from the art display earlier, who we
learn is the "Director of the Japanese Art Support Foundation". Huh...
In the end, we'll get another rank up, as Yusuke's life takes a right turn:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Chance to cure status ailments inflicted upon |
| party members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be back home at Leblanc's after that. We'll get out stuff from the
Shopping Channel. We also get a text from Ohya, wanting to hang out. How
handy! Go ahead and head on over to her.
When you arrive, you'll see Ohya is very drunk. She'll deny it though. Ask
her "Having trouble at work?" to learn what happened. After she shares, pick
"He must not like you", then "You should trust in her". Once she gets her
willpower back, pick "That's the spirit". We'll end up with a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
That's it for today! Onto tomorrow!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

--------------------------
Today its raining, so we're going to push our stats a bit. Head over to the
Shibuya Diner and order the "Nostalgic Steak". We'll get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +3_]
and [_KINDNESS +1_] boost. Nice.
For our evening we're going to spend some money. Head over to Shinjuku and
go see Chihaya. Get an affinity reading for "Ichiko Ohya" to make her ready
for a rank up.
HOWEVER! We're going to go spend some time with our benefactor, Sojiro, so
head back to Leblanc's and spend time with him (hang out with him... get rid
of any customers if needed).
He'll teach us more about coffee and curry this time. When you get a chance,
ask him to "Tell me more". Once we get interrupted and things get... awkward,
do some quick thinking and "Call Sojiro's phone". This gives him the out he
needs and gives us a rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: LEBLANC CURRY |
| |
| Allows you to make curry that slightly restores SP to |
| all allies. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
This particular rank-up comes with a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - BASICS OF LEBLANC CURRY:

.-��
|
| You can make curry on days when there are ingredients for curry in the
| refrigerator at Leblanc.
|
| You will be unable to make curry during the day and after school when
| the cafe is open. Try cooking at night when the stove is free.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
We also get a nice [_KINDNESS +3_] boost as well. Very nice. That's all we
have for today. Onto tomorrow!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Today we're going to spend some MONEY. So glad we got all that money from
the last dungeon. Head over to Shinjuku and go see Chihaya. We are going to
get TWO fortunes from here. First, get the LUCK reading. You want to choose
KNOWLEDGE here. Next, get an affinity reading. This time, do it for "Yusuke
Kitagawa" as we're going to push him forward soon.
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Yusuke Kitagawa"
He's ready to meet up with us today, actually. Let's go talk to him and
choose to hang out with him. He'll ask about meeting the man who gave us a
card earlier, so tell him "You should meet up with him" to set up a meeting
that we'll get to go along to.
During the meeting the man will tell Yusuke what he wants with him... as
well as the "image" he wants to create. When you get a chance, go ahead and
ask him "What do you mean?". Yusuke won't take to it all very well, as you
can imagine. When the man is gone (and the bill is paid...), cheer Yusuke up
by telling him "The truth is within you". We'll get a rank up after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MASTER DUPLICATION |
| |
| high-rank Skill Cards. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, let's do something new for a change, for our evening activity.
We're going to head to "Kanda" and meet that Shogi Player the game has talked
about in the past.
When you are here though, you can talk to the PRIEST to get a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - USING THE CONFESSIONAL:

.-��
|
| Calling friends into the confessional will cause time to pass, but
| they'll be able to recover a forgotten skill.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Basically, your teammates can recover previous skills here if you wish, at the
cost of replacing a current skill and wasting some time. We shouldn't ever need
to do this, ideally, but I'm glad its here.
OK, now let's talk to the "Shogi-playing Student" on the right. Ask her if
she is "Hifumi-chan?" and then comment on "Playing Shogi at a Church?" and
ask her to teach you with "Can you teach me shogi?".
As you are talking to her, you'll eventually get another dialog option (we
get a lot of dialog options here... I'm thinking most of this starting dialog
doesn't matter), but pick "I don't know how to play".
Once she beats you, state "I can still go on" (classy...) and after that
pick "Sorry, I'm a beginner". We'll come up with a deal with her after this,
as tactics could be a help to the Phantom Thieves... pick "Sounds good to me"
here and a deal has been struck...
Our wings of rebellion...

.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: HIFUMI TOGO |
| |
| STAR ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: KOMA SABAKI |
| |
| Allows you to swap current party with backup members |
| during Joker's turn. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
As a bonus, we also get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +2_] boost. Very nice! That will
be all for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
More rain. Seems to be a lot lately. Let's head to the diner again and order
the "Nostalgic Steak" meal. We'll get [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] and [_KINDNESS +1_],
which is nice.
For our evening, we'll get a text from Ohya. We'll visit her, but FIRST,
let's head to Shinjuku and get an AFFINITY reading for Sojiro. We'll need a
few of them since he's so hard to level up. One at a time though...
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Sojiro Sakura"
Go ahead and go visit with Ohya now.
Today, Ohya will be exhausted. It's always something with this girl, isn't
it? The quota doesn't help, to be fair. She's becoming a fan of the Phantom
Thieves though, which is good. Soon she'll take a phone call that will SHOCK
everyone in the room...
Oh wow! Say "Could it be...?" here. The chief will walk in and make everything
a whole lot worse. What a jerk. When Ohya asks for advice afterwards (she is
ready for blood...), pick "Let's think of another way", and she'll calm down.
We will get a rank up here as well!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: OUTRAGEOUS SCOOP |
| |
| Delivers the same effects as Rumor-filled Scoop, but |
| to incredible effect. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, tell her "You're charming as you are" to get some brownie points
and then we'll get a nice [_CHARM +3_] boost. Sweet! It'll be bedtime after
that and time will march on!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Today we'll get a text from Yusuke. He isn't QUITE ready to level up though,
but we can do something about that. Head to Shinjuku and get an AFFINITY
reading for Yusuke.
After that, go ahead and head to the Shibuya's Underground Walkway. Yusuke
will be there people-watching, so go ask him to hang out.
Yusuke will call the team to Leblanc's. Over coffee, nonetheless! Very nice!
The subject that he needs help with is the object of his next painting. When
we get a chance, pick "It has to be Ann". Quite funny, AND you get some good
points! Yusuke will then contemplate desires and motivations...
I can relate to him. I've been writing for so long now... it's tough to try
and keep a pure motive when the world judges "success" in such unpure ways...
When you can, tell him "You've really grown, Yusuke". Our teammates will
cheer him up as well. All for you... dear reader... Our rank up will come soon
after:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| 1 HP remaining. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, for our evening activity, we're going to go hang out with Ohya.
No need for a rank up or fortune reading. This is more of a mission request
visit.
We'll be at Crossroads with Ohya and Lala. Tell Ohya "You seem tired" once
you can. Her new quota is really hampering her physically it seems. And limits
the time she can look into the case. We need to get the chief off of her back.
Ask her "What's the chief's name?" to learn it is "Shinpei Honjo". This will
get us a request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Fighting for Truth in Journalism
That's all we needed from Ohya. Another request for Mementos, as well. Very
nice! That's all for today as well. We'll advance days automatically.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Today, we're going to spend some more money. First, once you get a chance,
go ahead and head to Shinjuku and get an Affinity reading for Sojiro.
Next up... I suppose we'll push our stats. Read the note down below though
(this seems to be a great time slot to catch up if needed on whatever you can
or wish).
With that said, let's go repeat the "Big Bang Burger Challenge". We've
already won it, so for winning it this time we get [_GUTS +3_]. For winning
we also get [_BIG BANG BURGER x10_]. Not too bad.
(-NOTE-) This is a great morning to play "Catch Up" on any confidants if
you wish. This guts isn't absolutely needed for anything right,
right away...
for our evening, we will get THREE texts tonight (after the group text).
Iwai, Hifumi, and Yoshida, all want to hang out. We're going to go with our
man Yoshida. We'll go off to meet with Dietman Matsushita after the speech.
When you meet up with Dietman Matsushita (in a very sketchy looking place),
he'll tell you that he's fighting with the Kuramoto group. Political enemies,
huh? Fun. We'll get a bombshell here for Yoshida, as he learns how he really
became "No Good Tora". Wow...
Pick "That's a difficult decision" here. He'll still try to help us. Whatever
hurts the enemy, right? Pick "Stick to your beliefs" here which will make him
very happy. He hits close to home after that... smart guy. Pick "So what if
you're right" here and he'll lighten up a bit. We'll get our rank up after
that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MIND CONTROL |
| |
| Occasionally lets you skip negotiation when attempting |
| to obtain a Persona. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We also get a nice [_CHARM +3_] bonus for this rank up. Very nice! I'm
betting this ability won't help my guide-writing at all. Eh... we'll move on
to the next day soon enough...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 21ST (SUNDAY 8/21)

-------------------------
Here it is, our day of reckoning with Medjed. We'll meet up with Sojiro
here. Ask "How's Futaba?". Surprisingly, Sojiro actually shares with us.
When he asks about emotional scars, tell him "They'll heal on their own"
(which is true, believe me...).
After that, we'll get a shock. Futaba just... strolls on in. Haha, so
casual as well. When she asks about forgetting something, tell her "Medjed?".
She'll remember her deal now and takes us back to her room to deal with them
right now.
OK, this is good. When she asks how to cook them, I picked "Eliminate them".
Yes, violent much. They deserve it. Morgana will shock her (for some reason...)
so say "I'll explain later" and Futaba will get to work...
We don't really have anything to do with this, so we'll actually clean her
room in the meantime. Oh wow... hey, it looks way better! In the end, she
will (eventually...) finish and go to sleep. Looks like we have no choice
but to wait...
o OBJECTIVE: Wait for Futaba's Plan
Go ahead and go to bed afterwards. Nothing else we can do today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 22ND (MONDAY 8/22)

-------------------------
The group will meet up today as we learn what happens (happened) to Medjed
at Leblancs. Sweet. We get our trophy here as well:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Pyramid of Wrath Collapsest" Bronze Trophy for
setting Futaba right and defeating Medjed!
Tell Sojiro "Something great happened". After that, Futaba will come and
visit, but gets freaked out by all the people. We'll head up stairs to put
her at ease.
We'll get a number of scenes now. One with that politician, talking about
taking action against us publically. Bah. We'll also get a "real world"
scene with Sae here. Pick whatever answer you want here and we'll get a
rank up automatically:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
More importantly, we'll hear about our next crime. "Kunikazu Okumura". At
least we're targetting a person, it seems...
We'll get even more scenes with Futaba after that. She'll tell us about
Medjed (which is a bit shocking) and then joins the team. She's... got to be
a bit better at communicating though. Pick whatever dialog option you want
next (I picked "She's OK as is") and soon we'll all decide that she needs to
spend a day with everyone... Pick "Good luck" after that and soon it will be
our evening time.
We'll get a team text chat here, but we have tonight to ourselves. Oh, we
got some updated objectives:
o OBJECITVE: Prove your justice to society
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Rid Futaba of her unease
That sub-objective is going to take the next few mornings from us for the
next few days, by the way...
For our evening, head to SHINJUKU. We're going to get another affinity
reading, this time for "Yusuke Kitagawa". Need to push him along further as
we had a rank up recently:
ALSO, get a "Luck Reading" for your KNOWLEDGE stat. Good. Now that we've
done that, let's go see Hifumi Togo. As you'll recall, she is in the church
in Kanda. Agree to hang out with her.
She will once again play with a particular fantasy vibe. Heh... She's quite
merciless as well. Yikes. Once the match is over, she'll realize and admit
her... weird habit. Tell her "That's interesting". She's still concerned
about it of course. Tell here to "Have confidence in yourself" and we will
get a rank up after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, she'll ask if we read weekly magazines. She's going to model for
one of them. Huh. Pick "But you don't want to, right?" for points. After that
we will get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +2_] bonus. Very nice!
We will be in bed after that. Or back in prison... Listen to the dialog and
pick what you wish. We'll get a rank up with Igor soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
OK, onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 23RD (TUESDAY 8/23)

--------------------------
We'll hang out with Futaba today. Part of our goal of putting her at ease
with everyone. We'll be with Makoto and Yusuke today. When you get a chance,
pick "You seem confident".
Conversation is rough... until Yusuke messes with her models.... perfect!

Hahaha. This causes real conversation to happen though, so that's good. I've
read that the pose Yusuke chooses is a Dragonball reference, which is a good
little Easter Egg.
At the end, we'll decide what to do tomorrow. Tell her "We'll all be there
too!" to put her at ease. We'll have a group text after hanging out with
Futaba and after that the evening will be ours.
We'll get a text from Iwai tonight. BEFORE you respond though, we've got
money to burn. Head to SHINJUKU and get an Affinity Reading for Yusuke, as
he still isn't ready for a rank up:
After that, feel free to accept the text from Iwai and hang out with him
for the rest of the night.
Iwai will start teaching you the basics of the shop. Apparently, someone
online is trashing him. Bah. Pick "I know how that feels" here. Iwai will
then share his troubles with us and where he came from. Yakuza! Oh man...
Pick "I always knew you were a thug" next for some (surprising) points and
he'll share more about Tsuda. This explains why he wants us, apparently...
and where all those melee weapons are coming from! Ha, I love it! Pick the
"We made a deal, didn't we?". Aww, he has a soft spot for idiots like us.
Heh... that's a good spot for a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MEDIUM CUSTOMIZATION |
| |
| Allows you to customize mid-grade guns. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Afterwards, a young boy will come in. Ask "Is that one of your customers?"
here and Iwai will tell "Kaoru" to go study. A brother, maybe? Oh, a son.
Ha! We also get a nice [_PROFICIENCY +2_] boost as well. Can't complain
about that! The day will advance automatically afterwards...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Today we'll have some more social conditioning with Futaba. We're going
to do it in our room with Ryuji and Ann this time. Nothing much to do here
but listen to the dialog and pick whatever responses you want. She's much
more at ease here after the... initial mask reception. Huh... she's coming
around slowly, right?
For our evening, let's head to SHINJUKU. This time, all we are doing is
getting a LUCK READING. Pick "KNOWLEDGE" here for the stat to increase and
then head over to Hifumi's place (accept her invitation from your phone and
you'll head there automatically).
You'll see Hifumi has fans! Heh. Seems nice enough. Once we get a chance to
talk to her, pick "Describes you perfectly" to get some points despite her
protest. After her dialog about her mom, pick "Having a difficult time?" for
some more points. We'll get a rank up shortly after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: UCHIKOMI |
| |
| Chance for a follow-up by a backup member if Joker |
| downs an enemy. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Well... that can be helpful, for sure. More chances for that to happen, more
than likely. We also get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +2_] boost. Sweet. The day will
be over after that...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Today's the day Futaba gets to work! Hehehe. Tell Sojiro "Experience is
important" here and we'll be put to work. Pick "You OK?" after that. The
coffee serving scene is just gold! Hahaha. Tell her to "Take that thing off"
and she'll come up with an excuse. Still... she talked with a total stranger.
Progress!
During the evening we'll get a team text. After that, we'll get a text from
Yoshida. He wants to hang out with us. Well, this is good timing. Go ahead
and accept his request.
The stage is set! Yoshida will be giving a much bigger and promoted speech.
Tell him to "Do your best" for some points and he'll start. Listen to the
speech, then tell him "You had a change of heart" for some points. Yoshida
will express his convictions here and we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Hard not to like a guy like that! Our day will be over after that though.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
What, no plans today? Well.... until we do have plans! Hahaha! Read the
group chat and after that we'll have everyone come over. Makoto and Ann did
a little shopping for Futaba apparently... ha, a swimsuit! We'll get kicked
out of our room so she can try it on...
Listen to the dialog and say "Go for it Ryuji" when you get a chance (heh...).
Sojiro will be impressed as well. No getting to look at swimsuits now though.
We'll have to wait for that.
After another group chat, we will have our evening to ourselves. Even more
importantly, we can FEED OUR PLANT today. Give it the MEGA FERTILIZER for a
nice free boost of [_KINDNESS +3_]. Sweet!
For our evening activity, we're going to do a NEW JOB. Head to the CROSSROADS
BAR and choose to work there. Lala will let us with our stats. Ask her all about
the job if you wish (the crossdressing thing is gold).
When you get a chance, talk to the "DOWNCAST WOMAN". Doing so will eventually
give you a nice [_KINDNESS +2_] boost, which is enough to rank us up to level
four!
o KINDNESS RANK UP! (KINDNESS RANK 4: SELFLESS)
Sweet, now everything is at four. We also get [_5,400 YEN_] which is top tier
when it comes to jobs... although it's a drop in the bucket for us. That's it
for today though... we didn't get any info on the REQUEST we still need info
on. We have to work one more day for that... We'll advance to the next day
automatically.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Well, today we will have lunch together with the guys and Futaba. Pick what
dialog you wish (I asked Yusuke if he could eat all that). Futaba will think
Yusuke is hitting on her. Heh. She's coming out of her shell. Happy face.
For our evening, we are going to work at the CROSSROADS BAR one more time.
Head there now. Pick the same woman as last time, the "DOWNCAST WOMAN" to
get another [_KINDNESS +2_] boost.
More importantly though, after work, we'll get a particular customer in

the bar. He'll talk about his job and mention his no good boss: one "Shinsuke
Kishi". This is the man who's making hell on his workers. This will update our
requests:
o REQUEST RECEIVED (UPDATED!): We Aren't Just Your Slaves
Sweet. After that we'll get our [_5,400 YEN_] and the day will be over.
One more request ready to go! Got to love it!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
AUGUST 28ST (SUNDAY 8/28)

-------------------------
Today we'll work with Futaba and Sojiro. Soon enough though... Akechi will
walk in! Sojiro goes from pleased to annoyed very quickly! Haha! We'll soon
have a talk with him. Tell him "I'm surprised" to get some back story on him.
He'll share a bit with us but annoys Futaba with his insights as well. Go
figure. Pick "I agree" afterwards and soon we'll rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Well, that's good. Him coming here more often isn't though... He's going to
bug the place, I'm sure of it. Hahaha. He'll leave after that though.
Futaba will contact us in the evening. She's... bought fireworks. Heh.

Pick whatever dialog you wish. This is a cute little scene. It'll be over
and we get our evening to ourselves after that.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Take Futaba to the beach
For our evening (after the group chat), we'll get two texts. One from Iwai
and one from Yoshida. We're going to see Yoshida later but FIRST... it is
SUNDAY. Unfortunately the shopping channel is taking a break...
What you CAN do though is head to SHINJUKU and get a "LUCK READING". Pick
the "KINDNESS" option, then travel to Shibuya's Underground Walkway and buy
the DRINK here. It is "Onsen Aojiru". Drink it and you'll get [_KINDNESS +2_]
as a bonus. Very nice!
After all of that, let's go hang out with Yoshida since he requested us
and we are SO CLOSE to leveling up. Yoshida will give us an update on what
is going on with him. He's seeing a surge. Oh wow. Tell him "Your true self
was revealed". He'll be very happy with that.
What he says next will likely shock you. He... he KNOWS. We've truly picked
the right man here, as he promises to not meddle and even support us in our
work as he thinks of us while he walks his own path. Very touching.

Yoshida will give his speech now. After listening to it (it is a very good
one), we will get our final [_CHARM +3_] boost from him. As a final gift, it
will push us over the edge and we'll max out charm!
o CHARM RANK UP! (CHARM RANK 5: DEBONAIR - CHARM RANK MAXIMIZED!)
So very touching. We'll head home and tomorrow will come automatically...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------
Today is the BEACH TRIP! WHEEE!
Tell Sojiro "I won't leave her side" and we'll be off! There is an animated
cut-scene here which is pretty nice! Can't complain! Ryuji seems happy about
it anyways. Good to see Futaba coming out of her shell even further.
Just have fun with this trip and pick whatever options you want. I went with
mostly goofy answers, but pick what you will. At the end, we'll have a
touching scene with Futaba as she joins the team... again. Try to give her a
code name as well and she'll pick her own in the end. "Oracle". It works, as
she's our new navigator.
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon, with a group text chat and some new
objectives:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look into the mental shutdowns
For our evening, we'll get a text from Hifumi. She's ready to hang out and
rank up as well. Sweet. Accept her invite and you'll get a NEW HANGOUT on
your map: "JINBOCHO BOOK TOWN". Very nice!
We'll head to a book shop Hifumi mentions. She'll recommend some curry as
well. Soon a woman will stop by and glare at us. Hmmm. Boyfriend, huh? Pick
"Must've been the katsu curry" here for some good points. She'll bring up
the Phantom Thieves after that. Pick "They're cool". Soon after that we'll
get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, we'll be back at Leblanc's. There is a very worrisome scene here
with Morgana. Wow... Ask "Bad dreams?" here and after that "Are you OK?" once
he tries to shrug it off.
Morgana will ask about what he'll turn into. Pick "You're already weird" to
calm him down a bit. He'll freak out a bit. Tell him "Yeah" when you can to
form a deeper bond with him:
.'��'.

--------------------------
We'll get a text from Mishima this morning. He'll talk about the theater in
our neighborhood, and how the owners are trying to be muscled out. Huh. It
seems he has a name though: "Yasuo Jochi". This gives us a new request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Who's Muscling in Yongen-Jaya?
ALSO! We have a new bookstore open! Head to "JINBOCHO BOOK TOWN" and we'll
be able to buy from them (not much, but you guys know I'm all about buying
every book we can).

Next up... we don't have much we can do. Push stats. I kind-of wish Makoto
was free... try out our new Rank 5 charm and all. Read the note below just
in case you aren't exactly where I'm at and continue on.
we also get [_BIG BANG BURGER x10_]. Not too bad.
(-NOTE-) This is a great morning to play "Catch Up" on any confidants if

you wish. This guts isn't absolutely needed for anything right,
right away...
For the evening, let's spend time with Sojiro. He should be ready to rank
up with all the work we did (and all the fortune telling...).
We'll make a "family dinner" tonight. Futaba will come and eat as well,
then scamper off to watch anime. Heh... Tell Sojiro "I think I'm addicted!"
to get good points, then he'll tell you about the curry and Futaba's mom a
bit. Pick "She wasn't normal, huh?" for how those two met...
Ah, very touching! Pick "It really paid off in the end" next. A very good
story, for sure. We'll rank up with Sojiro soon after that:

AUGUST 31ST (WEDNESDAY 8/31)

----------------------------
Today we'll be called down to talk with Sojiro and Futaba. They will invite
us out to lunch. Pick "You want me to come?" and then once you learn where
you are going "He's demanding sushi".
Enjoy the family outing here. Futaba is... crazy. The prices are crazy as
well! Heh, poor Morgana. I'm starting to feel bad for him.
We'll be back at Leblan'c soon to disappoint him. We'll get a text from
Futaba who will explain things for Morgana and then ask us to meet her at
a place she's been wanting to go to: Akihabara. The very famous "Tech Mecca"
Akihabara. This unlocks on our map as well, which is great!
Go there and watch the scene. Poor Futaba... has regressed a little bit.
Choose to go help her (or not... it's a false "choice") and she'll explain
herself a bit after that. Pick what you want after that (I had to look up
what a "Remora" was... hahaha) and then "Is this a deal?" after that. Another
deal struck, another ally made...
.'��'.

We'll be back at home after that. Sojiro and Futaba will leave for the night
but we'll be unable to do any nightly activities, thanks to school starting
tomorrow (which you get reminded of via text). We also learn that a school
trip is coming up soon and Mishima is adding a new function to the website
soon now that we are very popular. Huh...
Go ahead and go to bed.
Before the next day comes though, we'll wake up in the Velvet Room. Igor
is pleased with our new ally and will reward us:

SEPTEMBER 1ST (THURSDAY 9/01)

-----------------------------
Well, back to school I guess! We'll have some scenes this morning. Go ahead
and pick whatever dialog options you wish. We'll be on our way to school soon
where we'll hear about the upcoming school trip and get some texts from the
team. New school quarter, new group meeting. Sounds good.
After school, Sadayo will call us in and tell us she's decided not to pay
the Takase family any more money. They'll barge in though (why are they here!?)
and confront us. Pick "We're talking here" and they'll barge on, revealing what
they know about Sadayo's other job...
Pick "You can't give up!" after that. You can see where this is going, huh?
Go ahead and ask for their names. "Toshio-san and Hiromi-san Takase". Oh, good.
Hehehe.
o REQUEST RECEIVED: A Teacher Maid to Suffer
Excellent. We'll have our group meeting afterwards, Futaba included. We'll
discuss our recent popularity, but more importantly the other Metaverse user.
We have GOT to stop him or her. Or them, maybe? Futaba will end up talking
Makoto into getting into her sister's laptop... hehe, juicy...
We'll get a scene with the principal after that. Good. We'll be at Leblanc's
soon and will have a group chat. Choose whatever dialog option you want and
our objectives will update:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Obtain investigation intel
For our evening activity, let's hang out with the BOSS. Sojiro. He should be
ready for a rank up with all the fortune abilities we've done.
We'll get questioned on Sojiro's bachelor life here by a customer. Go ahead

and pick "To each his own" first. After that we'll get a visit from the
"cheerful" middle-age man. Ugh. When you get a chance pick "Shut your mouth"
for some good points. Hehehe... After he leaves, pick "Saving Futaba was no
mistake" to comfort him and soon we'll have our rank up:
.'��'.

`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 2ND (FRIDAY 9/02)
---------------------------
We'll get a conversation with Akechi on our way to school. Pick what you
want. At school we'll also talk to Ryuji (note the girl in the background
here...). We'll start seeing her a lot more later.
Once you get free reign, we're going to go do some shopping. We can head
to Akihabara today and explore it (which I'm doing for the first time). FIRST
though, head outside Leblanc and buy the "Broken Laptop" for 500 Yen from the
SECOND HAND SHOP. A good deal... for now!
Head to Akihabara now and let's explore. There's a lot of things to see
here. Various gift shops as well. On the right is a "Capsule Machine". You
can get figures here and trade them for items with a man nearby. There's
also a "Maid Cafe" on the left. If you check it out, you can get a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - VISITING THE MAID CAFE:

.-��
|
| Visiting the maid cafe will cause time to pass, but will improve
| your charm.
|
| The maids will make mistakes often, and how you react to the blunder
| will determine the outcome of the visit. Be sure to try different
| reactions.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
What we are really here for though is the TOOL STORE in the upper right. Go
check it out and buy the "PC TOOL SET" for 8,000 Yen. It's a lot, but it'll be
worth it.
You can also visit the Arcade across the street. Note the kid here, as we'll
have a confidant link with him later. You can get a "Jack Frost" doll from the
games here as well.
There is also a "Retro Game Shop" nearby. Visit it to buy a couple of games:
.��.
( - SUPER BARON - )________________________________________________________
`��

��
Punch Ouch 5,300 Yen Train of Life 5,600 Yen
(-NOTE-) Go ahead and buy them both. Crazy that a game shop only has two
games available, right?
.��.
________________________________________________________( - SUPER BARON - )
��`��
Next up, head to Shinjuku and get an Affinity Reading. This time we want
to do Sojiro, since we just ranked up with him:
For our morning activity, go ahead and accept Yusuke's text. He's ready for
a rank up as well. He'll take us to Mementos again to hang out...
Once Yusuke asks you about the "Sayuri", pick "Her love for her son" to get
some good points. He'll talk a bit about it after that. Pick "You've really
changed, Yusuke" once you can (I feel like we've said this before...). Well,
either way, we get another rank up with our friend Yusuke:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Well, no fighting this time. Fun. We'll run into the art contest sponsor on
our way home.
For our evening, Sojiro will comment on our school (heh...). We get a text
as well with our group. No info from Makoto yet, but it sounds like it is
coming...
Go ahead and spend the evening repairing the "Broken Laptop" that we bought,
which we can do with the tools we bought. Doing so should be possible in ONE
NIGHT with our current Proficiency, which also nets us [_PROFICIENCY +2_] as
a bonus. Very nice!
Repairing the laptop gives us access to "Tanaka's Shady Commodities"....

Tanaka is back! Hahaha! Oh God, Persona players will remember Tanaka and his
sales from previous games. It's too late to go shopping right now though, so
we'll get to it later...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 3RD (SATURDAY 9/03)

-----------------------------
o QUESTION: In this famous statue, he's holding a spear in his left hand,
but what does he have in his right?
o ANSWER: Nothing.
We'll get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the correct answer, like usual. After school
we'll get a team meeting at Futaba's Room. Ryuji and Ann are digging the
upcoming trip. Pick whatever dialog option you want here and soon Futaba will
dig up some info and give it to us. There's more to analyze though. We'll get
another group text after that and then... we'll have to wait.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Wait for Futaba's data analysis
Now, for the evening be sure to check out the LAPTOP we restored. We get
a tutorial the first time we check it out:
TUTORIAL - USING SHADY COMMODITIES:

.-��
|
| You can obtain rare and unusual items through "Shady Commodities".
| Purchases will be delivered in a few days. You can only order one

_________________________________________( - TANAKA'S SHADY COMMODITIES - )
��`��
If you buy EVERYTHING, you will get "MEMBER RANK: BLACK", which will enhance
their inventory next time. Our order is on its way...
Next up, head to Shinjuku and get an AFFINITY READING from Chihaya. She has
been so useful to us so far! This time we want it for Hifumi Togo:
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Hifumi Togo"
OK, for our evening activity, take up Iwai on his offer and go work for
him tonight. He'll tell us that we're going to look into a "Rumor about the
underground deal". After that we'll be talking to a homeless man. Pick "It's
none of your business" and we'll get the news. Huh...
When we get back, some guy named Tsuda will be intimidating Iwai. Sounds
like he's blackmailing him over arms. Huh. Pick "So that was Tsuda?" once
he leaves and after that "100 Million Yen Deal". Once he summarizes the info,
pick "Where's my reward?" for some good points and we'll get our rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We will also get [_PROFICIENCY +2_] for helping Iwai out. And that will end
our activities today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 4TH (SUNDAY 9/04)
---------------------------
This morning we get a weird text from Mishima. Some arcade gamer is
apparently cheating a lot on a game called "Gun About". Huh. Its a bit weird
but let's check it out:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Winners Don't Use Cheats
We need to look into it more though. Morgana will remind us of our school
trip coming up. Yes, we'll do Mementos before the trip. It's good to have
waited this long, for all the requests we've racked up.
We'll also get a few texts today. Hifumi will tell us she's gone for the
week for her school trip to Los Angeles. Nice of her to tell us! Next up is
Futaba, who wants to hang out.
BEFORE we do anything though, it is SUNDAY, so we have a few things we can

(and should!) do. First, let me point out that the SHOPPING CHANNEL isn't
on today. OK, so let's head to Shinjuku and do another AFFINITY Fortune.
This time we're doing it for Munehisa Iwai:
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Munehisa Iwai"
Also be sure to get the LUCK READING, and this time choose KNOWLEDGE.
Next, head to the Shibuya Underground Walkway and buy the STAT DRINK today,
which is "Seafood Aojiru". Spend 5,000 Yen and get a nice [_KNOWLEDGE +2_]
boost.
One final stop before we do an activity. Head to the ARCADE CENTER on

Central Street on Shibuuya. Talk to the left-hand boy here who and ask
about "The Cheater?" when you can. You'll get his name: "Yoshikuni Nejima",
a 40 year old without a job. Huh.
o REQUEST RECEIVED (UPDATED!): Winners Don't Use Cheats
For our activity, let's go hang out with Futaba. She is right in front of
Leblanc's. Make sure you have her Persona and talk to her. We have enough
KINDNESS to talk to her. Tell her "You did well, Futaba" and then choose to
hang out with her.
The subject of school online comes up. Pick "That's a great idea" here for
some points, but she wants to go back. Heh, tell her "If we work together"
next. She'll make a list of goals next and share them with us. Pick "Sounds
good to me" here and soon we'll rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MEMENTOS SCAN |
| |
| Chance to fully map a floor of Mementos when entering |
| that floor. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Oh, not a bad ability! Futaba will leave after that and we'll be onto our
evening.
(-NOTE-) Be sure you have some MEGA FERTILIZERS on hand. I would say at
least TWO. You're not going to be able to buy them before we can
use them later on, so prepare now!
After a group text chat (choose whatever answer you wish) and we'll get a
text from Iwai. He's ready to hang out / rank up, so let's go hang out with
him tonight.
In the back room, Iwai will share some CRAZY news with us. Huh... that's...
insane! Say "Why not?" here and he'll give his reasons. After all of his
dialog, and this sounds bad, say "You're pathetic" to Iwai. Next, be sure to
pick "I'll stick around for the guns" and we'll rank up soon:
.'��'.

We'll get a nice [_PROFICIENCY +2_] bonus after that as well. Sweet. And
with that, our sunday comes to a close.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 5TH (MONDAY 9/05)
---------------------------
School will be over fast today. We'll get a text from Futaba wanting to hang
out. Don't respond right away yet though. First of all, head up to the LIBRARY
and go check out the book "Cry of Cthulhu". A new book since we have Futaba on
the team.
After that, head to Shinjuku and get another AFFINITY READING. We are doing
it for Munehisa Iwai again:
OK, now for our daytime activity, let's respond to Futaba and hang out with
her. She'll take us to Akihabara once again as "revenge". Hehe. Watch how that
turns out and then pick "I was about to come find you". She'll respond with a
Star Ocean/Pokemon reference (oh wow... what a combo). Pick "Good to see you
again" here and soon we'll rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
No ability though? Huh, that's weird. Oh well. Her next goal is cute as well.
Heh. We'll go home to Leblanc's after that...
Sojiro will let us know he's not giving us money for the trip and not to get
him anything. Heh. Good to know...
For our evening activity, let's head once more to Shinjuku. We're going to
get a LUCK FORTUNE READING this time. Here pick "KINDNESS".
(-NOTE-) We are boosting STATS tonight, as we can't hang out with Sojiro
tonight. This is because to advance past RANK 7 with him, we NEED
RANK 5 KINDNESS (Angelic).
After that, head to the Shibuya Diner and order the "Nostalgic Meal". With
our fortune reading, we'll get [_KINDNESS +2_] and [_KNOWLEDGE +2_]. Very
nice. That will be it for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 6TH (TUESDAY 9/06)

----------------------------
We'll get another question in school today:
o QUESTION: What is the name of the phenomenon where the second hand
looks like it stops moving?
o ANSWER: Chronostasis.
Answering correctly will of course give us [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
After school, be sure to go to SHINJUKU and get the MONEY FORTUNE. It will
come in handy today, as we are going to go to MEMENTOS. We have a LOT of
requests to do. We should have TWELVE. I'll list them all below, but first
take note that we CANNOT do the "Winners Don't Use Cheats" quest today.
We will ATTEMPT to do it though, but we won't complete it.
MEMENTOS: 12 TARGETS
o REQUEST: The Lovesick Cyberstalking Girl
o REQUEST: One who Bullies Bullies
o REQUEST: Who's Muscling in Yongen-Jaya?
o REQUEST: Winners Don't Use Cheats
o REQUEST: Part-time Job, Full-time Hell
o REQUEST: We Aren't Just Your Slaves
o REQUEST: Who's Been Assaulting People?
o REQUEST: Calling for Justice for Cats
o REQUEST: Debunking the Psychic!
o REQUEST: Bad Medicine
o REQUEST: A Teacher Maid to Suffer
o REQUEST: Fighting for Truth in Journalism
(-NOTE-) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND starting at the entrance and working your way
down. More money, items, and chances for Persona's you may not
have. Use the MEMENTOS SECTION section of the guide to work your
way through mementos! Make it as far down as you can go and you
will do every request and get to the bottom. This guide will assume
that you've done a FULL RUN of MEMENTOS today!
While you are in MEMENTOS, we are going to do a few STRENGTH CONFIDANTS.

The first one is Rank 6. As you remember, we need a "NEKO SHOGUN" with the
skill "DEKAJA".
What we need to do here is get an ANZU up to LEVEL 28. He learns the skill
"Dekaja" at that level, so either power level him in the bowels of Mementos
OR just use the Strengthen Persona option to level him up.
Once you've done that, fuse him along with a KODAMA and a SUDAMA using the
"Advanced Fusion" option. BE SURE TO TRANSFER THE SKILL DEKAJA here and you'll
get a NEKO SHOGUN with DEKAJA. Sweet. Show it to the wardens to get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Next up you'll be asked for a "LACHESIS" with "TETRAJA". We can do this one
right now actually.
In order to do this, you need a PRINCIPALITY. You can get one by fusing a
Lamia and a Sandman (which you can find in the lower area of Mementos if you
don't have them already). Make sure it has TETRAJA.
Next up, fuse HIM with YAKSINI. Again, you likely already have one, but you
can get one in Mementos if needed. Doing this will give you AME-NO-UZUME, but
make sure it has TETRAJA.
Lastly, fuse AME-NO-UZUME with ISIS. You can find Isis in Mementos lower
levels if needed, but you may have one. This gives you LACHESIS, so pass on
the TETRAJA skill and BAM, you are done. We will get our rank up after we
present her to the wardens...
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Next up, we will be asked for a "HECATONCHEIRES with MASUKUNDA". We'll do

that one later. We COULD do it now, but... I want to space it out a little
bit.
For NOW, let's go over the MEMENTOS INFILTRATION LOG on everything you
will be doing in MEMENTOS. Good luck and remember to save often!
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Defeated Shadow Odo o Defeated Shadow Sakoda
o Defeated Shadow Mogami o Reached Kaitul
o Found the Area 6 Waiting Room o Defeated Shadow Oyamada
o Defeated Shadow Naguri o Defeated Shadow Kishi
o Defeated Shadow Jochi o Reached the Kaitul Depths
o Reached Akzeriyyuth o Found the Area 4 Waiting Room
o Found the Area 8 Waiting Room o Defeated Shadow Tsuboi
o Defeated the Shadow Takases o Reached the Akzeriyyuth Depths
o Defeated Shadow Fukurai o Defeated the Shadow Honjo
Once we get back home, Sojiro will put us to work on dishes. Bah. We'll
have a talk with him and Futaba about the trip tomorrow and Morgana will be
fairly depressed. Pick whatever option you wish and soon we'll have another
group text.
We'll be in our room next. We can't do anything but sleep though. Morgana
is still troubled, but won't share anything with us. Bah, go ahead and go to
bed...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 7TH (WEDNESDAY 9/07)
------------------------------
We'll head to the airport today. Morgana seems pissed at us... eh, I wonder
why he's so mad? We'll get a scene at the airport with the team that is going.
Pick whatever option you want and we'll take a group pic after that. There's a
disturbing scene afterward...
Next up is a rather lengthy cinematic. Very cool stuff. Probably the longest
cinematic to date too. Love it. The day will advance automatically after the
scene is over.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 8TH (THURSDAY 9/08)

-----------------------------
Today we just have scenes hanging out with the group in Hawaii and later on
a scene with Mishima in the hotel. Answer however you wish, dialog-wise, for
both of these scenes.
The day will advance automatically after you head to bed...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 9TH (FRIDAY 9/09)

---------------------------
Another day in Hawaii. We'll meet up with the group of course but will talk
about Okamura quite a bit. Once the girls leave, we can walk around and talk
to various people about the Phantom Thieves. Oh wow, two for three. Not bad!
Once you are done talking to people, go back to the right and talk to the
female there. She's starting to become a theme, wouldn't you say?
Next up is the scenes at our room. These are all pretty good. It's amazing
how much this all gets out of hand. Go ahead and pick whatever options you
want throughout the day. We'll have a bit of a crisis here. Really!? Four
people!? Just wow.
Okamura is really becoming a target. Heh. We get a scene with the SIU
director as well. After that, the day will come to an end.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 10TH (SATURDAY 9/10)
------------------------------
Today is a cool day. Ryuji and Mishima are a bit desperate here, but that
doesn't mean you are. We'll get to pick a friend to hang out with here...
Our choices here largely depend on who you've been hanging out with up to
now and who you've romanced by now (if anyone). You always have RYUJI if
needed. Personally I went with MAKOTO.
(-NOTE-) Answers with other possible dates are largely the same. The
dates will give you different gifts (as I learned in New Game +)
but in general just pick positive answers and you'll be OK here.
MAKOTO
��
After meeting up with Makoto she'll talk about not being able to get away
very often. Pick "Let's enjoy this then". Later on we'll be on a food run.
Pick "Yeah, sometimes" here.
Near the end, pick "It's been fun" and we'll get a [_TIKI KEYCHAIN_] as a
gift from Makoto. Pick "I Love It" and after that "Just a little longer"
and our date and day will wrap up.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Today will be a fairly short day. We'll get some scenes at the airport as
we head home. At the end, we'll get another cut-scene of the principal. A
very shocking one that is bound to affect us and our goal as Phantom Thieves...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll be home today. Answer however you wish here. Futaba will want to get
into a meeting right away... but we're a little tired.
Once you are back up in your room, BE SURE to feed your plant some of your
Mega Fertilizer for a nice [_KINDNESS +3_] boost. Sweet! We may as well go
to sleep now as there's nothing else we can do.
We'll get a scene with Sae and Makoto after that. Enjoy. The day will
advance afterwards automatically.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
We'll meet up with Ryuji before school, but school just isn't the same today
as you can guess. We'll be in a school meeting about it. The vice principal
will show up and spout off the normal "he loved you all" nonsense. After a bit
though, we'll shift to a real-world scene...
Oh, so Sae knows about her laptop now! Hehe... Anser her questions here as
you wish. I generally just tried to get her to believe in us, which resulted
in a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon enough, having a team meeting. The group
will discuss the principal for awhile but the talk will soon change to the
Okumura CEO. Sae is suspecting him of evil-doing, it seems like. Wow... it's
crazy how he's the lead on the phan-site as well.
Things king-of break down from here though, as the team starts its first
serious infighting. Morgana's need to feel useful comes to the forefront
again and Ryuji seals the deal, driving him off. Lovely...
The next couple of scenes are really interesting. It sounds like Sae and
Akechi aren't seeing eye to eye either. Huh. The scene past that is even
more interesting as Morgana's efforts are shown to you. Wha...?! "Master"?
That figure! Really!?
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------------
Before school, we'll learn Morgana hasn't checked in. Answer how you wish
and we'll get a group text chat. He's not at anyone else's place either.
This SHOULD worry us all, but off to school we go...
o QUESTION: Second-hand shops are also known as thrift stores. Do you

know when the earliest ones appeared?
o ANSWER: The 19th century.
Answer correctly for our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost. I really feel like Rank 5
is coming very soon... We'll get a message from Futaba about coming home
right away after school (so no confidants for us today...).
Next up we'll see several scenes of people invading a palace. Heh, it seems
Morgana and that girl have teamed up...
After school Sojiro will try to comfort us a bit and we'll learn about what
has been happening at Okumura. This leads to a group chat as we plan to head
into the palace tomorrow to look for Morgana.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Pursue Morgana
OK, well... not much left to do today except go to sleep. Unfortunately.

Go ahead and sleep and look forward to the search!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
After school (presumably... we don't see much of school) we'll meet up with
the team at Okumura Headquarters. This place really is BIG. Here's hoping the
actual palace isn't this big...
Listen to the dialog here and soon enough Futaba will share the keywords and
we'll be in the palace... with a nosy detective right behind us, it would seem.
Heh...
Well... let's get to looking for Mona!
OKUMURA PALACE
--------------
We'll get a couple of objectives here:

o OBJECTIVE: Find Morgana
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the Palace
SIDE ENTRANCE
-------------
Move forward here and hit the center lever to continue. Futaba will take
care of it for us.
FACILITY PASSAGEWAY
-------------------
The upper right corner here has a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] we can loot. Do so
and take the left door to continue (right is locked for now). Oooh, the doors
open automatically! Fancy! Head forwards until we are stopped for a scene. We
get a very telling scene here with the robots... something that companies
around the world are guilty of every day.
After the scene, continue to the north. Still no enemies and the doors are
still automatic. In the BIG room to the north check the left corner past the
hologram (which you can look at) for another [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] and head to
the right. Or... try to, anyways...
We'll get several scenes in a row here, including a scene that will take us
out of the Palace all together. These scenes though... are just pure gold.
And awkward. Mostly awkward. Answer "One who helps the weak" to ensure the
awkward vibe and listen to the dialog until you get back home.
Back at home pick "I don't think so" when discussing Morgana. We both know
who the girl is, right? Hard to believe they don't, but hey, it's a video
game after all:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Look into the Beauty Thief
Nothing left to do today except to go to bed...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll get a team text chat today in school. Answer how you wish and then
we'll be busy looking through the yearbooks for someone who looks like the
girl we saw. Smart... and guess who finds her! Hehehe... We'll plan on just
confronting Haru tomorrow...
Or now, as we see her on our way out of school. Go ahead and help her out
with her load (why yes, I AM interested in gardening!). Choose whatever
dialog options you wish here and then Makoto will come in to help. Still...
she has her mind made up. Morgana has become a tutor again, it seems.
We'll have a group text chat at night making plans for tomorrow, which
leaves no time today to do anything else. I gotta tell you, it's REALLY WEIRD
not having Morgana around, right?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Pursue Haru and Morgana
Again, nothing we can do but go to sleep. Good night!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
o QUESTION: We have a saying in Japanese: a skilled hawk hides its talons.

What hides its claws in English?
o ANSWER: A cat.
Answer correctly for our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost.
After class, we're going to go on our stake-out for Haru and Morgana.
Thankfully for us, we don't have to wait too long. We'll eventually catch
them as they come in...
Let the reconciliation begin! Listen to the dialog and say "You're vital to
our team" when you can. It appears to be working, but fricking Ryuji just FAILS
once more. Seriously, that guy needs punched in the face...
o OBJECTIVE: Catch Morgana
Well... this part is a bit silly. Just run after Morgana over and over and
you'll eventually watch what happens. We are out-smarted. Even when it looks
like we shouldn't be...
We'll be outside of Mementos after that when we witness Haru go through

something fairly horrible. Pffft.... watch these scenes and just TRY not to
be disgusted.
Soon we'll be back at the hideout. Healing can finally take place now as
we are all being honest... finally. Tell Morgana "Let's do it, together"
when you can and soon we'll get a rank up!
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| 1 HP remaining. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Everyone will leave shortly afterwards thanks to the trains and Morgana
will finally be home where he belongs...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Wait for Haru's recovery
Again, nothing left to do but go to bed... do so for a scene. Many, my cat

does that ALL the time. He doesn't take me to weird worlds though... I'm pretty
sure anyways....
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll get breakfast in with Haru before she heads home. Pick whatever
dialog option you wish here. The ending dialog with Morgana made me smile...
We'll get to see a scene with Haru and her dad as well. What a scumbag. He
is essentially selling his daughter away if you ask me. Haru will ask to meet
with all of us later for a team meeting.
We'll get a scene with Haru and the team here as she shares with everyone.
Sounds like we have a new target date: OCTOBER 10TH. Well... that gives us a
few days for sure. Very do-able. I really want to see Haru in action, don't
you?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Steal Okumura's Heart
Well... once again, we have nothing we can do. And on a SUNDAY no less!
Which means no shopping channel, no Tanaka's, no drink... nothing. Just..
sleep. Let's go to bed and advance the game.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
OK! 22 Days before Haru is "Sold Off". Man that sounds bad. It's right
though, isn't it!?
Well, we've got a LOT of time before that happens. We're going to get in
a LOT of ranking up confidants and activities before then. And yes, when we
do go in, it will be a SINGLE RUN.
OK, so today is the start of when we can actually do social links once
again. We get two text messages today. One for the Palace, another for Tae
(since we changed her target's heart). However, we still have that UNRESOLVED
MEMENTOS QUEST to look into. That should be a priority for now...
Go talk to the people in the Shibuya Arcade. Ask if they know who the KING
is. Turns out he is a grade schooler in "Gigolo Arcade in Akihabara". You
remember him right?
Head over there now and talk to him after he puts on a show. After he is
done, say "Teach me some tricks". He won't of course. Go with "There's an
invincible player" and he'll still be on the fence. Pick "I won't let the
bad guys win" next. Just like a Phantom Thief! Heh...
He seems to be a big fan. Tell him "They came to my school" and after that
go ahead and say "Let's make a deal". He wasn't expecting us to actually do
this. Tell him "Let's do it" and then "What's your name?" to learn that his
name is Shinya Oda.
OK, we have to impress him. Go ahead and go talk to Futaba to get her elite
hacking to help us. She'll agree. Pick Calling Card when you can and then
head back to Shinya in Akihabara. Sent the message and show it off to him.
After that, say "It's a deal" and we'll have our first lesson. Watch the
scenes and soon we will rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| CONFIDENT: SKILLED GAMER |
| |
| TOWER ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: DOWN SHOT |
| |
| Allows you to use all rounds to down one enemy. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also gain [_KINDNESS +3_] from interacting with Shinya. Very nice!
We'll be at Leblancs for the evening now. There's a group text chat, but
it doesn't say much. We also get our box from Tanaka's Commodities. Very
nice! Finally, we got FIVE new messages. Most of them are from Mishima about
the various website requests we took care of. Hifumi will also message us,
wanting to hang out.
BEFORE we do that though, go check out Tanaka's Website:
.��.
`��
-$- GOODS -$-

��

Spyware-laden Gear 1,000 Yen Hercules Anklet 80,000 Yen

Black Robe 500 Yen Hero Eyepatch 60,000 Yen
(-NOTE-) I bought all of the new stuff except the Hero Eyepatch. This will
also max out your rank, by the way. Very good!
.��.
��`��
Next up, I chose to go get some LAUNDRY DONE from my Mementos Run. I highly
recommend you do so as well and have KAWAKAMI do it for you.
With our free time, head to Shinjuku and get the LUCK FATE READING. Get it
for KNOWLEDGE today and then agree to go hang out with Hifumi.
Once we get to the church, you'll see Hifumi's Mom really laying her path
ahead for her. Huh... she's a bit domineering for sure. We are just seen as
a distraction.
Go ahead and say "She's Scary" when you can for a couple points, and after
that pick "You should stop then" for more points. After that the game will
begin. It's neat that what she SAYS she's practicing is what our ability is
all about...
.'��'.

| NEW ABILITY: KAKOI KUZUSHI |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For playing with Hifumi, we will get [_KNOWLEDGE +2_] (with the stat boost).
Very nice! Still not rank five though!
Once we get back, we'll get our laundry back. Sweet. That will be the end
of our day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
School will go by fast today, leaving us with our afternoon to ourselves.

We get a couple of messages today. One for the Palace, and one from Makoto.
Go ahead and hang out with Makoto today.
(-NOTE-) Remember that you can only break into RANK 6 with Makoto if you
have RANK 5 CHARM (Debonair).
As you'll remember, we're set to go on a double-date with Eiko and "Tsukasa".

The guy... looks like a host, for sure, I guess. He'll question our dating,
which is pretty natural. Go ahead and pick "Love comes in many forms" here
for some good points.
After Eiko leaves, he will get the rundown. Hahaha! Once he tries to get
Makoto's number, tell him "Have mine instead". Enjoy the dialog after that
and they'll leave soon, so pick "No, you're being considerate". We will get
a rank up soon after:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| party members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be back at Leblanc's after that. Three texts. We have people who want
to hang out with us! Iwai, Ohya, and Mishima! Hehehe...
And yet, I'm not going to hang out with any of them! Instead, let's call over
Kawakami and her maid service. It's been a LONG time since we've done that, but
she is also close to being at max rank.
Kawakami will share her news of the Takase's and their change of heart...
Very nice! They even returned all the money! Pick "Nonsense" here when you
can for some points. Pick "Thank you for your service" after that. We'll get
a rank up shortly afterwards:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After the rank up, pick "I want to keep seeing you". We will get that WARNING
after this...
I should choose my words carefully...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "I mean what I say" followed by "I'm a man; you're a woman" for
a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with SADAYO.
o Choose "Got it" for a FRIENDSHIP with SADAYO.
o Choose "I mean what I say" and then "I'm a master; you're a maid" for
a FRIENDSHIP with SADAYO.
(-NOTE-) As ever, dear reader, this is your choice. I was VERY TEMPTED by
this one, I'll be honest. I end up going MAKOTO though for my
romance. It was hard deciding between Kawakami, Makoto and Tae
for me...
After our rank up and conversation with Sadayo, we'll automatically be

moved to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 21ST (WEDNESDAY 9/21)

-------------------------------
You get a special scene here of Kawakami being a better teacher. Heh... We
also get a question in class today:
o QUESTION: The word "robot" didn't come from English. So, what country
did it come from?
o ANSWER: Czechoslovakia.
Answer correctly for our usual [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Today we'll get a couple
of texts. One from Futaba to hang out, another for the Palace. HOWEVER... let's
first head to SHINJUKU. We're going to get a LUCK READING. Request the one for
"GUTS" as we'll get an extra point thanks to this!
Now, go hang out with Tae Takemi, the doctor. We've done her request at
MEMENTOS after all, so she's ready to rank up.
Go see her and insist on talking to her. You'll be backed up by her patients
once you try to share the news. Tell her "Miwa-chan is alive". She'll be amazed
of course. Tell her "Let's get to work, doctor" for some good points, and then
we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Next up, tell her either "It's for you" or "It's for Miwa-chan" (I picked
that one) and she'll be happy. We'll also get a [_GUTS +2_] boost for being
part of a trial (thanks to the GUT reading). Very nice!
(-NOTE-) There's a special scene with MISHIMA tomorrow if you accept his
Night-Time invite. It's not worth doing, guide-wise. If you want
to see it, SAVE and play through to see it, then load and we shall
continue with our ideal path...
Now, for our evening we got two texts. One from Kawakami and another from
Hifumi. We're so close to ranking up Kawakami, so let's go with her tonight
and finish her off!
(-NOTE-) If you choose "ROMANTIC", just pick whatever options you wish.
Heck, even on FRIENDSHIP you are guaranteed a RANK 10 at this
point.
Call her over and she'll share a bit with you. Pick whatever option here and
once she starts lecturing pick "Same goes for you". Hehe... After she shares
that she... KNOWS... pick "What are you talking about" and then whatever option
you wish. Same with the next question. Soon we'll have our final rank up with
Kawakami:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SPECIAL MASSAGE |
| |
| Request a massage after going into the Metaverse, |
| letting you go out at night. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse Ardha, the most powerful Persona of the
Temperance Arcana.
This rank also comes with a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - KAWAKAMI'S SPECIAL MASSAGE:

.-��
|
| You can now use the phone at Leblanc at night to ask Kawakami to come
| and give you a special massage.
|
| Kawakami's special massage will remove exhaustion and allow you to go
| out at night, even after venturing into a Palace or Mementos.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
And after that we get a special lesson! Hahaha.
During the night tonight we get a call from MISHIMA wanting to hang out
tomorrow. Be sure to DECLINE this. It gives us points for him and Chihaya,
which we don't need right now. Decline and we'll be onto the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 22ND (THURSDAY 9/22)

------------------------------
We'll get a text while we're eating today. Shinya wants to hang out. We'll
be able to respond later. We got his text and another Palace Text. Bah...
Today we can either go with Shinya or Makoto. I say we push Makoto a bit
more (that and I've finally decided to romance her!). FIRST though, let's
head to SHINJUKU and get a LUCK READING (DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR TV). This time,
do it for KNOWLEDGE.
After that, let's go see Makoto. She's over by the school gate. Agree to
hang out with her.
She'll be worried about Eiko's boyfriend, of course. He's sending her a lot
of texts... huh. Ask "Do you think he likes you?" and after that pick "He's
definitely suspicious". She'll share what happened to her father here as well.
Well damn! Pick whatever option here and after that pick "He was a noble man".
She'll share what happened to her mother and sister as well. Man, it all
sounds rough. Pick "That's admirable" when you can and after that go ahead
and pick "You can figure that out now". Lots of options here! Makoto will
realize we've gone WAY off topic but we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.

| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SHADOW FACTORIZAION |
| |
| Allows you to see Null, Repel, and Drain when |
| highlighting a target in battle. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get a wedding invitation next. Hah! Pick "I'm game if you are". She'll
like the "joke" (heh...) and will ask us to keep pretending to be a boyfriend.
We'll get our box from TANAKA today. Which means the inventory has expanded
once again:
.��.
`��
-$- GOODS -$-

��

Spyware-laden Gear 1,000 Yen Hercules Anklet 80,000 Yen

Black Robe 500 Yen Hero Eyepatch 60,000 Yen
Fragmented Armor 1,000 Yen Roland Medal 500,000 Yen

Model Gun 1,000 Yen Dispel Ring 100,000 Yen
Retribution Mirror 24,000 Yen Black Kogatana 1,000 Yen
Atom Match 2,000 Yen Magic Rosary 50,000 Yen
(-NOTE-) I bought everything but the "Roland Medal" here, which is a bit too
expensive for now. It increases all stats by 5 by the way. You could
also go without the Dispel Ring (which is moderate magical reduction)
or the Magic Rosary (magic evasion). Up to you, ultimately. It's
always an order away if you change your mind!
.��.
��`��
After that, be SURE to check the TV for a question:
o QUESTION: A: Ten years in prison. B: A twenty million yen fine.

o ANSWER: Ten years in prison.
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +2_], which is enough to push our rank
up to RANK 5 for knowledge!
o KNOWLEDGE RANK UP! (KNOWLEDGE RANK 5: ERUDITE)
Very sweet! Now, for our nighttime activity I personally did some LAUNDRY
and then I went to AKIHABARA to hang out with Mishima. He'll take us to the
park so we can talk quietly.
Tell him "You sure are fired up...". He'll try and give us our next target
but... eh... Tell him "Rumors are wrong all the time..." here. He's... well,
definitely a fan...
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Mishima will try to convince himself he's awesome and asks us to take out
our phone. Say "Why?" here and then "Absolutely. Nice job." Yeah, this kid
has problems...
We'll get our laundry back and advance to the next day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
SEPTEMBER 23RD (FRIDAY 9/23)

----------------------------
We'll get class FREE TIME today. Let's get some reading in (we haven't done
that in awhile!). Let's read our new book, "Cry of Cthulhu".
o BOOK PROGRESS: CRY OF CTHULHU (1/2 TABS DONE)
Sweet. We get a group text after that. Yes, we need to work on the mission.
I get it. We will. After school, read the text from Yusuke and go hang out
with him though, as he's close to rank 10. We may as well finish him off,
right!
We'll head off to the art competition to go see Yusuke's work. Oh wow, it
is definitely something else. It's a winner as well! Yusuke will comment on
it as Kawanabe comes and inspects it. Pick "You provoked Yusuke on purpose?"
when you can.
Kawanabe will start to share his history and how much he really knows of
Madarame and Yusuke. Pick whatever options you wish here. We will eventually
hear Yusuke's answers as he follows his own path. This will all culminate in
the final rank up with Yusuke:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse ODIN, the most powerful Persona of the Emperor
Arcana.
Yusuke's Persona will also TRANSFORM from Goemon to Kamu Susano-o. Quite
powerful looking indeed! We get the "Evade Fire" skill as well, a fantastic
support skill.
We'll be at Leblanc's after that. FIVE Confidant Ranks maxed so far. Not
too shabby! For our evening activity, let's go see OHYA. We haven't seen her
since we changed her Chief's heart after all!
She'll share what happened with the Chief. Pick "He reflected on his actions"
here and then "Did I? Can't remember." after that. Hehe... well, I'm TRYING to
be sneaky... She'll suspect us but says she knows where Kayo is. Pick "Thank
God" and she'll share even more. After that, BE SURE to pick "That's not like
you" for some good points. We'll rank up shortly afterwards:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get [_CHARM +3_] as well, even if we don't really need it at this
point. But Ohya is almost max ranked! Exciting! That's all for today...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today! It's been awhile! Let's read our new
book, "Cry of Cthulhu", as we should be able to finish it!
o BOOK PROGRESS: CRY OF CTHULHU (COMPLETE!)
For finishing the book, we'll get [_GUTS +3_]. Sweet. We'll get a question
at school today as well:
o QUESTION: Do you know why they chose black and white?
o ANSWER: So it shows up well on TV.
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. May as well. After school we get a
LOT of texts. Shinya, Takemi and Makoto all want to hang out. We should go
return our "Cry of Cthulhu" book though. There's a new book based on HARU
we can check out: "Woman in the Dark". May as well check it out now!
After that, let's hang out with Makoto. She'll take us to Big Bang Burger
to talk with Eiko. Turns out... she needs money for her boyfriend. Ugh, go
figure. Tell her "He says that to all his girls". Seems like a normal scam
to me.
After the talking and the scene, pick "Absolutely". Makoto will sum up the
situation and soon we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| 1 HP remaining. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Makoto will plan how to catch the host and we'll move on to our night.
We'll get a group text at Leblancs. After that, you can talk to Akechi here
if you wish. We also have texts from Iwai and Hifumi, both wanting to hang out.
BEFORE you go anywhere, head to SHINJUKU and get an AFFINITY READING. This
time we want "Hifumi Togo":
(-NOTE-) IF you need extra KNOWLEDGE, get a LUCK READING for it right now
to get an extra point later on.
Go ahead and accept Hifumi's text now. We should be able to rank up with her
now. She'll take us to the Sky Tower for a walk. Apparently a magazine has
done an expose on her and her family. Yikes... Tell her "Is that frustrating?"
for some points. She'll share her thoughts on the matter, coming to what she
thinks she should do. Tell her to "Do what you love" here and soon we'll get
a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We also gain [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] as a bonus. Nice. We'll be in bed next, getting
a text from Futaba. We're... not going to play with her, but no need to respond
now. The day will advance from here.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

----------------------------
It's SUNDAY! Hoorah!
You can check the TV today for the SHOPPING CHANNEL. It is selling a weird
item today: the [_SONIC SOCKS_] for 4,980 Yen. In case you are curious, these
let you "run as fast as a hedgehog" and give you +5 Agility. Ha!
(-NOTE-) IF you need extra CHARM, today is the day for you! There is
the drink at SHIBUYA UNDERGROUDN WALKWAY. Pair it with a LUCK
FORTUNE READING for a +2 Charm Boost. Only if needed... otherwise
just save your money.
Good, now after that let's go hang out with MAKOTO. She's out at the school
gates. Agree to hang out with her to continue.
We need to dig up some dirt on Tsukasa to continue. What you need to do here
is run to the man by the book store (the "Irritated" man) and ask him if he
knows Tsukasa. Once he gets mad, say "I'm not" and he'll tell you that Tsukasa
has pulled this trick before. Nice...
After that, we'll meet up with Eiko. Eiko doesn't want to hear the truth
though, but soon Tsukasa shows up himself (I can't stand his eyes...). Watch
as Makoto unveils her trick right in front of Eiko... haha! That's honestly
brilliant. Watch the scenes and pick "Your fight's with me" when you get a
chance. Once people start gawking, say "Follow Me" and we'll get out of there.
Once the scene changes, tell her "That was the right move". Once she asks
about the place we're at (we're at Crossroads) tell her "I'm a regular here"
for some good points, but after that we get those familiar words...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "I'll be your study partner", and then "I do" for a ROMANTIC
RELATIONSHIP with MAKOTO.
o Choose "You'll find someone someday" for a FRIENDSHIP with MAKOTO.
o Choose "I'll be your study partner", and then "That's not what I meant"
for a FRIENDSHIP with MAKOTO.
(-NOTE-) As ever, dear reader, this is your choice. I ended up choosing

Makoto, for the record. First Chie, then Makoto... I suppose I
have a thing for girls that can do things for themselves...
We'll get a rank up after our choice:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get our box from Tanaka's tonight. Fun. For tonight's activity, let's
go hang out with Iwai. He should be ready for a rank up. Go see him and agree
to work for him.
So... we're taking Kaoru to diner? That's odd... We'll be talking to Kaaoru
for really the first time. Tell him "Why would he say that?" and once he
shares with you, tell him "You should ask him".
Iwai will show up soon after. When he asks what you're talking about, pick
"Girls" for some good points, followed by "You should buy us something". Heh.
Naturally. We get a rank up soon after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
And that's all we have for today! Tomorrow will be here soon!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Well, we're immediately done with school today! Hah! We get texts from Tae
and Shinya today. Let's go see Shinya since we've been putting him off for
awhile now.
We'll get more "tutoring" from Shinya here, with the crown nearby. Once we
are done, say "Don't compare me to you" for points and then "What a rude
employee". He'll bring up the Phantom Thieves next, so ask "Do you admire them?"
to hear his praise for them and then "I'll let them know" after that to really
cheer him up. We'll rank up after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: BULLET HAIL |
| |
| Chance to enter a gun-based All-out Attack after a |
| successful ambush. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
OK, that move sounds promising, right? Hehehe, this kid is going places! We
will also gain [_KINDNESS +3_] for hanging out with Shinya. Very nice!
OK, for our evening we get a text from Hifumi. Instead of hanging out with
her (and she is ready for a rank up...), let's go to the CROSSROADS and go
see Ohya. Agree to hang out with her tonight.
Ohya will report on what she learned. Ask "Did you learn the truth?" here
to get more dialog and learn about a hairclip camera. Oh wow... that's some
spy stuff right there! Writing up the truth with her partner isn't a good
idea though.
Pick "You're not giving up, are you?" next and after she tries to push us
out of it, pick "I can't leave you". Lala will butt in and help make sure
we stick around, so pick "Of course not" next and we'll get our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet. Soon though we'll get that familiar phrasing...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "I took it seriously", and then "I love you, Ichiko" for a ROMANTIC
RELATIONSHIP with ICHIKO.
o Choose "I didn't take it seriously" for a FRIENDSHIP with ICHIKO.
o Choose "I took it seriously", and then "I'm just kidding" for a FRIENDSHIP
with ICHIKO.
(-NOTE-) As ever, dear reader, this is your choice. Choose however you wish.
If you didn't know by now, there is a reckoning later in the game
if you do have more than one girlfriend...
The day will pass automatically after that! So close to a max rank!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
We'll be done with school early today. Very nice! We get two messages as
well: one on Palaces and one from Makoto! You know what I'm going to pick...
OR DO YOU!? Hahaha, what you want to do is head to SHINJUKU and get an

AFFINITY READING. Pick "Ichiko Ohya" here and we'll be ready to rank up with
her later on (I was hoping it'd be tonight, but it isn't... no worries, we
still want to do this, we'll just do other plans today):
NOW go ahead and take Makoto's invitation. She'll take us to our room (Oh...)
and tell us she made up with Eiko. Tell her "That's amazing", followed by "Are
you stressing over exams?".
She'll open up to us about her dreams after that. Pick "That sounds difficult"
once you hear it and then "Your father would be proud". So touching. We will
get a rank up after this:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse CYBELE, the most powerful Persona of the High
Priestess Arcana.
After this, Makoto's Persona "Johanna" will be reborn as "Anat".
We'll continue our scene after this. Tell her "Just be careful, OK?" after
that and then we'll spend some time together...
It will be evening after that. We'll get a few texts... Chihaya, Mishima
and Ohya. Ohya isn't ready to rank up though. Even though we did her affinity
rank too... bah. Change of plans!
Let's go meet up with Mishima. He has a great Rank 7 ability after all, and
it'll be good to get it in before the next palace. You'll see!
Take him up on his offer and he'll take us to a diner. Turns out his actor
thing fell through. Imagine that. Tell him "You're so reliable" regardless
for good points. When you here his next idea, tell him "Sounds pretty twisted"
(which it does...) followed by "This isn't like you".
We'll get a scene with his ex-classmate here and after that Mishima will
magically find our new target. Go figure. He'll be concerned about himself
as well... ask him "Are you feeling guilty?" here and after that we'll meet
up with the team...
Listen to the dialog as the team considers the option. Pick whatever you
want at the end and soon we'll be in Mementos meeting the Shadow Mishima.
Heh... He'll ask to speak with us along, which we allow. He'll lay it out
for us here. Ask him "Would that really satisfy you?" and after some more
dialog, pick "There's no need". We'll leave after that...
Mishima will be alone to think, but for now the day will be over...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------------
We'll get a seat on the train today! All right, reading time! Let's start
the new book we got:
o BOOK PROGRESS: WOMAN IN THE DARK (1/2 TABS DONE)
We'll learn about a new DINER item on our way to school. We'll also get a
question in school today. MULTIPLE questions!
o QUESTION: So "PVS," referring to when you mistakenly think your phone

is going off... What's the P?
o ANSWER: Phantom
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: So next is the V part. WThat means it'd be "phantom..." what?
o ANSWER: Vibration
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: Last is the S. So if we have "phantom vibration" so far...
o ANSWER: Syndrome
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Answer correctly for our (measly) [_KNOWLEDGE +1_].
We get two texts after school today. A Palace reminder and Futaba, wanting to
hang out. We can hang out with her, but BEFORE we do that, head to SHINJUKU and
get an AFFINITY READING for "Ichiko Ohya". This will get her ready to rank up:
OK, after that go ahead and respond to Futaba and we'll hang out with her.
We'll work on the promise list and head to school, surprising Sojiro. Hehe.
Makoto will meet us at school while Futaba later on asks to use a Goho-M. Ha!
Fourth wall is broken! Tell her "Let's do this together" here. We'll have a
mini-tour courtesy of Makoto. When you get to the library, tell her "No, you're
talented" and a bit after that pick "I think it's cute". We'll get a rank up
after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: POSITION HACK |
| |
| Chance to instantly Hold Up enemies when starting a |
| battle. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Futaba will "retreat" after that and we'll be onto our evening. We'll get a
group text when we get back.
After that, we'll get two texts. One from Hifumi and another from Mishima.
BEFORE you go answer them though, go to your ROOM and feed the plant the MEGA
FERTILIZER for [_KINDNESS +3_]. Very nice!
(-NOTE-) Be sure to buy some more MEGA FERTILIZER if you have run out.
You should have one more on hand at the very least!
Let's go meet up with Mishima now. He'll take us back to the park. Tell
him "I don't want to change his heart" followed by "You still care about
fame?". He'll confess and lay his soul out before running off... and eating
dirt. Oh Mishima...
He still wants to help us out though, even if he realizes he can't do it

himself. Admirable, for sure. Tell him "Maybe the Phan-Site?" here and he
will have renewed motivation:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: PHANBOY |
| |
| Greatly increases EXP earned from battle. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Now THAT is a nice ability! Very nice! We'll advance to the next day soon
after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
o QUESTION: Not all civil servants work in government offices. Which of

these occupations is a civil one?
o ANSWER: Fishermen of Nagaragawa
We'll get our usual [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the right answer. After that
we'll be done with school for today.
We got three texts here: a Palace reminder and Shinya and Takemi who both
want to hang out. We can hang out with Takemi tomorrow (I really want to
finish her up), but we can't with Shinya, so let's pick him today. BEFORE we
do that though, let's head to Shinjuku and get an AFFINITY READING. This time
we are doing it for Iwai:
(-NOTE-) If you need more KNOWLEDGE, we get a question on the TV later

tonight. You can get an extra point with a KNOWLEDGE LUCK READING
right now...
Shinya will talk about eating once we meet him. Tell him "Let's go eat" and
he'll want you to pay for it for the lesson. Haha. Tell him "OK" and soon we'll
be at the diner.
He'll mention his "War" at school with us today. Oh man... ask "Are they
bullying you?" and he'll reiterate the "War". You'll learn a bit more about
his family life here. Tell him "That's the spirit" for some points (finally)
and soon we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: WARNING SHOT |
| |
| Able to scare enemies in negotiation to make it easier |
| to obtain a Persona. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also get [_KINDNESS +3_] here, which is enough to push our Kindness to
Rank 5!
o KINDNESS RANK UP! (KINDNESS RANK 5: ANGELIC)
(-NOTE-) We can now continue leveling up our Confidant Rank with Sojiro,
just so you know!
Well, that's awesome. Just GUTS and PROFICIENCY left to do. We'll be back at
Leblanc's soon. Examine the TV here for a question.
o QUESTION: Which of these counts as slander? You be the judge!
o ANSWER: Divulging someone's crimes
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] if you still need it. Next up, I am
going to have Kawakami do a load of laundry and next I'll be heading to the
CROSSROADS BAR to meet with Ohya.
Ohya will get a call from her chief before hanging out with us. Ask her
"You two are on good terms?" and then "You're really earnest". After she
mentions how popular they are say "I'm glad to hear it" and then Ohya will
get rid of Lala-chan so she can talk to us privately...
Ask her "About what?" here and she'll tell us that she knows as well...
Man, everyone knows don't they? Hehe... pick whatever options you want here
(I like trying to re-direct towards Lala being the Phantom Thief). She'll
promise to keep our secret and work with us, leading to a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: LEGENDARY SCOOP |
| |
| Security level will not increase, and will drop to zero |
| overnight. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse BEELZEBUB, the most powerful Persona of the
DEVIL Arcana.
We'll party with Ohya and later return and get our laundry from Kawakami.
That's it for today. Onto the last day of September!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll meet up with Ryuji on the way to school. Go ahead and tell him to not
be impatient and it's on to class, which Kawakami will give us FREE TIME for.
Thank you! Let's finish reading "Woman in the Dark":
o BOOK PROGRESS: WOMAN IN THE DARK (COMPLETE!)
Completing this book will give us [_PROFICIENCY +3_]. Doing this is enough
to push us to our final rank in proficiency!
o PROFICIENCY RANK UP! (PROFICIENCY RANK 5: TRANSCENDENT)
Oh very nice! That just leaves GUTS. Easy. After school you may as well
return the book as we don't need it anymore. We also have a text that is
just a Palace reminder. We'll do it, we'll do it... just not today.
Instead, let's head to the CLINIC and go see Tae Takemi. It's been a bit
since we've seen her. She'll end up taking us to the park to pass on her
research and medicine so they can be put to use.
Tell her "It was rough" when you can and she'll be pleased. Heh. We'll here
about the offer she received next. Very generous it sounds like, but ask her
"And your patients?" to learn her plans. We'll get a rank up soon afterwards:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Soon Takemi will want the truth... why DID we keep coming to her? This makes
the familiar words appear...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "I wanted to see you", and then "I love you" and THEN "It isn't a
joke" for a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with TAE.
o Choose "It was for my exams" for a FRIENDSHIP with TAE.
o You can also choose "What do you think?" or "That sounds good" and you'll
end up with a FRIENDSHIP with TAE.
(-NOTE-) This was a close number 2/3 for me in the end. Very hard to say
no to Tae. Ugh... This was also my wife's pick on who I should have
gone with. Heh...
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) I have an email from a reader (Chris Baars) who has some
insight into working the Tae Takemi into the guide. Good
work here! If you romance Tae, this is worth reading:
If you're romancing Takemi, the final social link up takes place at night
instead of the afternoon. You need to shift the guide around a bit, but
there's book-reading you can use for that so it still adds up and you get
a free evening.
Replace October 3rd afternoon (Takemi's rank up to 10 when not romancing

her) with reading the 1st chapter of Master Swordsman, then follow the guide
as normal. You'll finish that book earlier than originally in the guide
(October 5th at school instead of October 6th in the train).
Use the train-reading time on October 6th to read the first chapter of
Ghost Encounters (originally read on October 7th) and finish the book on
October 7th in the library.
This leaves you with a free evening on October 8th (where we originally
would've finished Ghost Encounters), during which you will be able to go
see Takemi for the final rank up.
(-END IMPORTANT NOTE-)
For our night, we should head to SHINJUKU and get an AFFINITY READING here
for Tae:
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Tae Takemi"
After that... we don't have a lot of people who want to hang out tonight.
This is an IDEAL TIME to catch up if you need to. Otherwise, I am going to
work on maxing out our GUTS, the last stat we need. Well... work toward it
anyways...
we also get [_BIG BANG BURGER x10_]. Not too bad. That will be the end of
the day and the end of the month.
Time carries on...

OCTOBER 1ST (SATURDAY 10/01)

----------------------------
Welcome to October! We've gotten through another month! School will be

over quickly today and we'll be left to our own devices. Today you want to
head to Shinjuku for an AFFINITY reading. This time do it for "Shinya Oda"
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Shinya Oda"
OK, now let's go hang out with Shinya. Accept his text invite and we'll be
at the arcades, then hang out with him. We'll be interrupted by a pro-gamer
soon enough, who will play The King...
At the end, pick "Yeah, you tell him!" and after that "Get your revenge".
After that we'll get our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also get a [_KINDNESS +3_] boost. Very nice!
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon after that. We got two texts here: one from
Iwai and another from Mishima. Iwai is ready for a rank up (well, they both
are really), but let's go see the weapons dealer first.
Iwai will share what he gathered on his last outing. A gun shipment... and
a Yakuza member coming in for fake guns... hmm. Pick "Absolutely" here and
Iwai will share his thoughts on what happened. Oh man. Pick "He's clever"
after that (it's true). After that, pick "Are you going alone?" and... now
we've talked our way into danger. Haha...
We'll end up with our rank up though:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: EXPERT CUSTOMIZATION |
| |
| Allows you to customize high-grade guns. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) We've gone as far as we can go on Iwai. To get further, we must
have RANK 5 GUTS (Lionhearted). We are close to getting it, but
don't have it yet.
And that's all we have for today. Tomorrow will come soon enough.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 2ND (SUNDAY 10/02)

--------------------------
It's SUNDAY!
We actually have a SHOPPING CHANNEL sale today. Crazy. Today they are
selling [_DONUT-WORRY x20_] for 1,980 Yen. A crazy item name, yes, but in
case you are wondering these things cure the FEAR status for one ally. Very
much worth it, so I bought them.
(-NOTE-) If you need PROFICIENCY still, today is a chance to catch up on

it a bit. You can get an extra point today for free if you go and
get a LUCK FORTUNE on Proficiency at Shinjuku.
And like every Sunday, we got the JUICE DRINK in the Shibuya Underground
Walkway. It is "Vitality Aojiro" this time and drinking it will give you a
[_PROFICIENCY +1_] boost (+2 if you listened to the note above).
For our day activity, we want to work on Takemi, so head to Shinjuku and
get an AFFINITY reading for her:
It's annoying, but we'll need to do this fomorrow as well. She's almost done
though. For our activity... there's not a lot of things we can do. No one wants
to hang out.
(_NOTE-) This is a good opportunity to catch up on Makoto/Ann/Ryuji/Yusuke

if you still need to. Just try to make up the stat growth below
another time. The big thing for GUTS 5 is ranking up with Iwai, so
just keep that in mind!
With nobody to hang out with today, let's go repeat the "Big Bang Burger
Challenge". We've already won it, so for winning it this time we get a nice
[_GUTS +3_] boost, just what we need. We also get [_BIG BANG BURGER x10_].
OK, for our evening activity, let's go hang out with Chihaya. It's been a
bit since we've hug out with her (The AFFINTY Fortunes are really the best
thing she can do for us), but we DID do her quest recently and she'll want
to talk about it.
Tell her "I know" once she reports her news (no wonder everyone guesses
who we are!). After that tell her "It's because you're strong". She'll go on
about the situation from there, eventually asking if you like older women!
Heh... what a question. Tell her "Hell yeah I am" and soon we'll get our rank
up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Very nice! That's all for today, so we'll advance to the next day.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 3RD (MONDAY 10/03)

--------------------------
o QUESTION: ...but in the entire universe, which of these is closest to

its density of stars?
o ANSWER: Three watermelons in the sun.
Answer correctly for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_], as usual.
Once school is done, you'll get three texts. One is a Palace text, ant the
other two are from Futaba (who wants to hang out and is ready to rank up) and
Shinya (who wants to hang out but is NOT ready to rank up).
Instead of any of that, head to Shinjuku and get an AFFINITY Fortune

Reading. You want to do it for "Tae Takemi", and I promise this is our LAST
TIME doing this:
After that, go to the Clinic and hang out wit Takemi for the last time.
We'll get to meet the patient this time. She's cute, worried about boys
already. Hehe... After she leaves, Takemi will ask us how she's been doing,
as a supplier of the Phantom Thieves. Heh. They always know, huh? Pick what
you wish here and "I wish..." after that (for some points that we don't even
need).
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: RESUSCITATION |
| |
| Increases the selection of revival items at the clinic. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse ALICE, the most powerful Persona of the DEATH
Arcana.
For our evening, we'll get a single text from Hifumi, wanting to hang out.
Well... why not, let's go see her.
(-NOTE-) If you still need KNOWLEDGE, you can catch up a bit here... go
to Shinjuku and get a KNOWLEDGE LUCK READING and you'll get a
+2 Knowledge boost below instead of the +1.
You will be defeated in Shogi here... once again. Go figure. She'll tell
you of an upcoming match. State "It may come down to luck" here for some good
points, followed by "I believe in you". We'll get a rank up soon after that
(with a very nice skill):
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: NARIKIN |
| |
| Earn double money if a battle is won in 1 turn after a |
| successful Ambush. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Double money? I won't complain! We'll get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost as well
which you may have boosted if you followed the note up above. And that is our
last action today as time marches on...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 4TH (TUESDAY 10/04)

-----------------=---------
Rain, rain...
Another reminder to go into the Palace during class. We're pushing the
deadline a bit, but we're OK. Trust me. Let's head to Shibuya first and
go to the bookstore. There's a couple of new books we can pickup:
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Tokyo Shrines 1,800 Yen Museum of Stars 1,800 Yen

Musty Pages 1,8oo Yen
(-NOTE-) Again, this is just the new books. May as well buy everything. These
books point out parts of the city, so no need to read them right
now or anything.
.��.
��`��
OK, after that we're going to do some reading. Head back to the school and go
to the LIBRARY, where there is a reading table. Use it and choose to read the
book "Master Swordsman". Yes, it's going to take awhile to read. No worries
though.
o BOOK PROGRESS: MASTER SWORDSMAN (1/3 TABS DONE)
OK, for our evening we'll get a message from Chihaya, wanting to hang out.
Go ahead and go see her, but get an AFFINITY READING first. This time for
Shinya Oda:
o FORTUNE READING (AFFINITY): "Shinya Oda"
OK, now let's hang out with Chihaya. She will give you an update and will
actually RETURN the money we spent in the past... [_100,000 YEN_] refunded!
Sweet! Soon we'll be approached though...
Tell them "Listen to what Chihaya's saying" here. After the country bit
and they leave, tell her that "Well, fate can be changed". We will get a
rank up soon after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet. She will then ask why we keep coming to see her, a bit nervously...
I should choose by words carefully...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "So I can be with you" for a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with CHIHAYA.
o Choose "I like having my fortune read" for a FRIENDSHIP with CHIHAYA.
(-NOTE-) Once again, this is a personal choice. Chihaya is fairly cute, I

think. The country girl in her is cute as well. Could you imagine
being with someone who knew your future though? Heh...
Once you make your choice, the day will be over...

,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 5TH (WEDNESDAY 10/05)

-----------------------------
Ann will lecture us about going to the Palace today. She's right... Today
is the day. But first, we have school. And thankfully, today we will get some
class free time. Sweet! Let's continue reading our "Master Swordsman" book:
o BOOK PROGRESS: MASTER SWORDSMAN (2/3 TABS DONE)
BEFORE we go to the palace though, head to SHINJUKU and get a MONEY READING.
This will increase the money from ALL OUT attacks, which I plan on doing a lot
of. May as well!
Also, be sure to swing by the shops for the latest items:

OK, time for the PALACE NOW. You got a message about it, so accept it to
meet up with the team and head out!
OKUMURA PALACE
--------------
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Okumura's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Open the biometric door
SIDE ENTRANCE
-------------
Just a note: you CANNOT use Haru here yet. Morgana forbids it if you try,
saying her PERSONA is too weak. Well... bah. Move forward here and hit the
center lever to continue.
(-NOTE-) Be sure to bring along someone who can hit EVERYONE with FIRE.
Whether it be your main character or Ann, just make sure you can
hit everything with fire if needed.
(-NOTE-) Haru is OK in this palace, as MANY things are weak to PSYCHIC.

You will also want someone with hit-all ICE abilities and someone
with BLESS abilities. Preferably hit-all, if you can.
(-NOTE-) Make SURE you capture a "Lilim" during this Palace Run. It will
help out for the STRENGTH CONFIDANT later on. It appears near the
end of the Palace. Keep your eyes open!
FACILITY PASSAGEWAY
-------------------
Attack the enemy here for your first taste of combat in the palace. Be sure
to refer to the box BELOW for Persona Weaknesses and a Negotiation guide!

FACILITY PASSAGEWAY
-------------------
Picking up where we left off, head into the left hallway like last time and
follow it forward, going into the next room and fighting the two enemies you
find in the hallway here (the robots look pretty cool, right?). Head into the
room with the Biometric Door and take out the enemy. There should also be a
[_STORAGE CAPSULE_] in the left corner. Now, be sure to HEAL UP and interact
with the door to watch a few scenes.
As you may have guessed, we are going to fight a MINI BOSS here:
MINI BOSS: HARU'S FIANCE
This boss comes with two "Corporobo MDL-WKR" and we have Haru with us for
this fight. As you may have guessed, her strength is indeed the robot's
weakness, so use her PSYCHIC abilities to put the big robot down. For the
smaller robots, use FIRE skills and you can go all-out on everyone, but
between your main character's psychic attacks and Haru's, you are in a good
spot for this fight.
After the fight, note that you can go and re-kill the enemies from before
(or capture them... like I did... oh but you have the guide up above huh?).
There's also a CHEST here with some [_MAGIC OINTMENT_]. Nab it and interact
with the elevator to continue.
Head forward in the new area and you'll get a short scene. This place does
indeed look HUGE. After the scene, we'll get a new objective as Morgana smells
treasure...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head for the central building
BEFORE you go left or right, go forward and check out the little cubbies on
each side for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_], one on each side. Go into the LEFT
door now (left from where you entered) for an enemy and a CHEST. This one has
a [_DRUID AMULET_] in it, which raises magic power. Enter the next door now
for your first SAFE ROOM:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: FACILITY PASSAGEWAY
Head out once you are ready and continue forward (or the right door now).
There is an enemy in here. Take them out and nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] from
the left. The door up ahead is locked, so we'll have to find a way around. Use
the ledge nearby and jump up, going through the vent.
Drop down and ambush the enemy. Follow the path until you get to the small
pathway (the one with the vent in the middle) and check to the right for some
"Terminal Controls". Doing so gives you a few scenes and a [_SPACEPORT MAP_].
We've got three areas to go through, it seems. Fun.
Continue on and you'll come to another vent. Go through it and the door that
blocked us is open now, letting us go north. Head onward and go RIGHT before
you hit the button in the next room. Examine the door for a scene and you'll
get a new objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Obtain the Chief Director's ID
Head back now for another scene. We'll see a bunch of robots marching out.
Let's head to where they came from. Hit the button and take the elevator to
a new area.
BARRACKS
--------
Head north for another scene. We see a BUNCH of working robots and the team
surmises they have the info we need. We need to get it from them, stealthily:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Stealthily obtain intel
Head forward now, after the robots. Before you get TOO far into the room,
look to the bottom left and right corners for [_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_], one in
each corner. Now sneak forward down the middle for a scene.
We have to sneak up on each robot for info. Do so but don't go TOO close to
them or else you'll get caught. We only really learn one thing here though:
the CHIEF CLERK likes sweets. Well, we have to start somewhere.
Head down the middle hallway going RIGHT now and kill the enemy that is
patrolling over here. From there, go SOUTH first. This area is devoid of any
enemies, but has a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. The door here needs an ID card, so we
can't open it right now.
Head NORTH and to the room on the RIGHT to find a SAFE ROOM here:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: BARRACKS
Heal up and SAVE, then head north some more. Fight the enemy here (which is
likely harder than normal) and check for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] to the north,
then head west. Continue north and we'll get a scene...
Well, there really are multiple people here. This is why we need info: the
game is forcing us to pick the right "Chief Clerk". Or... or we can just defeat
them both. Hahaha.
SO... I'll prepare you for both outcomes. FIRST, if you do want to talk to
them, you ohave to choose the right thing to say otherwise you are FORCED to
fight. What you should say to NOT fight is "We're Salesmen" and then "We have
sweets". You can choose to fight or flee after that.
The MINI BOSS to the north here isn't the right one... but if you defeat him
you can access the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] to the north. Plus we need to fight one
eventually, so let's go over his boss fight.
MINI BOSS: CORPOROBO MDL-? (RED)
This guy comes with two "Corporobo MDL-WKR", who as you know are WEAK to
FIRE. The Red Robot (we're going to identify them by colors... you'll see
why in a bit) is weak to NUKE. Fairly easy to take out, but try to get them
all down, otherwise the smaller robots will fully heal the "boss".
NOW, if you want to single them out the right way, what you need to do is
head RIGHT. The next northern room has more robots in it that you can listen
in on. You'll learn the chief eats his sweets when he's STRESSED. Now, to the
east is another CHIEF. He is the correct choice, so use what you know up above
to take him out.
After you beat him, you will get the [_CHIEF CLERK ID_]. Not bad.
Sweet. Now, after you take him out you'll get a scene about a SHIFT CHANGE.
Out go the red robots, in come BLUE robots. We have to do the same thing as
last time, but in a bigger area. These blue robots are also the "Section Chief"
by the way.
First things first: head back east and NORTH, then unlock the door here with
the Clerk ID. This leads to a new area. Head through the door and take out the
enemy here, then get the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] on the left as well as the CHEST
to the north, which has a [_MODEL GUN_] in it.
Head down the right hallway now and take out the enemy. The far right room
has more robot employees in it. Go listen to them for a hint: the section
chief likes to say "This is for your Own Good". He also apparently likes to
YELL at people. Don't forget to nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] in the corner here.
Now to the south is a north and a south room that each have a Section Chief
in it. For now, bypass the northern room and head east, nabbing a [_STORAGE
CAPSULE_] to the north, then killing the enemy patrolling to the south. We've
now cleared the path to both bosses. The door to the south is locked with the
Section Chief ID by the way.
(-NOTE-) In order to get through the TALKS with the Section Chief, stick
to saing "Sorry" and "The Chief Director". Also, keep in mind
that you can use the BOSS INFO BOX down below to fight the wrong
one easily for some treasure.
Now, you need to look for the Section Chief. By the way, you can get more
hints by talking to the previous robot-working rooms (but it also respawns
the enemies in the previous area). Once you are ready, head to the area with
the MINI BOSSES that are to the north and south to look for the Section Chief.
He is the one that will talk in ALL caps as well as say "This is for your Own
Good" AND "Private Talks Are Prohibited". He should be the TOP one (although
it could very well be random).
MINI BOSS: CORPOROBO MDL-? (BLUE)
Another "boss figth". This guy comes with THREE "Corporobo MDL-WKR" robots
which you can down all at one with a hit-all fire attack. As for the big blue
guy, you want to use WIND on him. From there you should be able to go all out
on everyone and take them out.
Once you get the right boss, you will get the [_SECTION CHIEF ID_]. Don't
forget to nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] nearby. We'll get another scene here
with another SHIFT CHANGE, this time a larger GREEN ROBOT will come out and
take the place of all the MINI BOSSES. This is actually the CHIEF DIRECTOR,
just so you know.
Now that we have the SECTION CHIEF ID, head to the southern door and use
it to open up the rest of the floor. We've got access to everywhere now.
Kill the enemy you find once you enter the new area and nab the [_STORAGE
CAPSULE_] nearby, then head west. If you check out the map, you'll see there
are new MINI BOSSES to the left and right here.
All the way west is a worker room. Nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] in the corner
here and spy on the workers. The biggest note here is that to GET to the back
LEFT worker, you need to head to the LEFT just before the crate, sneaking up
north by the console until you can hear him. Now to get the info you need, you
will need to go back to the previous robot worker rooms to get the info on
knowing which robot is real. The robots will tell you the Chief always calls
the company the "Best of the Best", likes to say "Grahahaha" and finally likes
to talk about "When he was Young".
(-NOTE-) There are two more GREEN Mini Boss enemies in the previous areas
as well, just FYI. In order to talk to them, pick "Let's Talk for
a bit" and then "Let's discuss the past".
The real choice is in the new area however, and should be in the WEST ROOM.
You will need to go take him out.
MINI BOSS: CORPOROBO MDL-? (GREEN)
Wow, this boss is much bigger than the last two. He's like a palette swap
of the Fiance Boss. This includes his weakness to PSYCHIC attacks, so be
sure to take him down. He's got FOUR "Corporobo MDL-WKR" enemies with him
as well, so hit them with fire and go all out on everyone to take him out.
Once you take them out, you'll get the [_CHIEF DIRECTOR ID_]. Be sure to
get the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] here as well. Also, note that the other room to
the east also has a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_], so be sure to go grab that as well.
The door to the west has can be unlocked now, and leads back to the entrance
of this area. Use it to head back to the elevator and head down back to the
facility passageway.
FACILITY PASSAGEWAY
-------------------
Head to the northeast now and use the Chief Director's ID card on the door.
Yes, it opens! We get a little scene here. Use the lift after that and then
head north. Check the right here for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] and then head
onward to a door and new area.
FACILITY SURROUNDINGS
---------------------
Head forward here and we'll get a scene. Seems like we're close. Huh. Well,
hit the left lever here and we'll head across the gap, right to a enemy on a
platform. Kill them off and grab the nearby CHEST for a [_RASETSU OFUDA_].
To the south is also a SAFE ROOM:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: SURROUNDINGS
Heal and save up as needed, then head back. We have an objective here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Factory
That may have showed up early. Just noticing it now though. We need to head
north now, jumping from platform to platform. Kill the first enemy you see,
jumping over to them when they aren't looking. You'll have to climb up soon,
but once you get to the narrow area, look for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] you can
loot before continuing.
Keep heading east, taking out the enemies. Along the way the path will go
northeast, but there is one more saucer to the east with a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]
on it, so nab it nad continue following the path, killing the enemies along
the way. Nab the CHEST you find for some [_SPYWARE-LADEN GEAR_] and head
north. Kill the enemy along the way and STOP. To the RIGHT is an area you can
jump down to for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. Get it and head left, jumping down to
a scene and then fighting another enemy before finally heading north and into
a new area.
EXPORT LINE
-----------
We are getting closer!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Pursue the Treasure
Head inside and then head up the ramp to the left and you'll spot a CHEST
in the distance. Use the pipes up here to get to it for a [_BLACK KOGATNA_]
that we can use for crafting, then jump down and go south to find another
SAFE ROOM.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: EXPORT LINE
Sweet. Heal up and SAVE here. Head to the right now for a scene. You'll get
a good view of the factory here. Let's head inside. The door is just to the
right. Head in and to the north are two enemies. Take them both out. Note the
bridge to the left, but first check PAST the big box by the bridge to find a
hidden [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. Cross the bridge now. Look around over here for
[_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_], one hiding by another big box and another to the south
by the "Crane Arm Control" panel, which we can't interact with. Yet... just
keep it in mind.
Go back now and continue north. Watch the scene when it happens. Go figure,
right?! We were close too, apparently. Head back now and interact with that
crane consol. Tell it to go at "3x" speed and it'll break. Ha! Go use the
crane arm to get across the gap.
Once you cross the gap you can fight the enemy to the south, although that
end is a dead end. You want to head north, past the blocks and kill the enemy
up here, but look to the LEFT once you leave the blocks for a (pretty well
hidden) [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. Now, head left and up into the rooms here. There
are two enemies patrolling around, but once you enter look to the left wall for
a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. Kill off both enemies and then interact with the PURPLE
crane console here. No speed choices, but you can set it up to break the purple
crane to make another pathway.
Head back outside and use the purple crane arm to go back east. Take out the
enemy here (jump down when he's not paying attention) and then check out the
LOCKED CHEST. Use a lockpick (you should have a few) and you'll get a [_BEAD_],
an [_EMERALD_] and a [_FURY BLADE_]. Sweet. Interact with the Yellow Console
now and speed up the crane arm. It will break soon, making another pathway.
Head back to the rooms on the left and use the crane arm to get to the door,
nabbing a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] on the way.
PRODUCTION LINE
---------------
Well... we're at the production line. Ha. After the dialog, go ahead and nab
the [_STORAGE CONSOLE_] on the left and then kill the enemy patrolling to the
right, using the boxes to ambush them. Continue forward and you'll see we are
forced to go NORTH.
You'll get a scene up here. The hydraulic presses need to be stopped, and we
have a console to do so. BEFORE you do that though, head SOUTH and take out
the enemies to the west (there should be two of them). There's also another
[_STORAGE CAPSULE_] at the end. Good, now that the path is cleared, go back
to the console and set it for LUNCH.
We now have 30 SECONDS to move. Go south and ALL THE WAY to the WEST, using
third eye to see where to jump onto the furthest press and you'll run past it.
Kill the enemy you find and then nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] and the CHEST here
for some [_FRAGMENTED ARMOR_]. Use the control panel here for a scene. Turns
out that "Lunch" is the only right answer! Hahaha! Use it and run to the RIGHT,
using Third Eye to jump past the press on the right.
We'll get into another battle here. Nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] after the
fight and check the console down the slope. It controls the PURPLE PRESS
which we need. Use it and quickly run to the purple press to continue on.
You'll have to fight two more enemies in this area, but you'll get another
[_STORAGE CAPSULE_] and can continue on to the next area via the door to the
north.
DISPOSAL LINE
-------------
Well, new area. We get some dialog here. After that, head down the slope
to the left and left to the room, which is a SAFE ROOM. Yay!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: DISPOSAL LINE
Go ahead and enter, save, rest, etc... Just be sure to save, as you never
know what will happen! Exit now and continue to the west. You'll find another
[_STORAGE CAPSULE_] down below. Nab it and go left and use the console to
break the crane arm. Use it to continue on to the west, going past the blocks
and killing the two enemies you find. Also, note that there is a [_STORAGE
CAPSULE_] JUST past the black blocks to the right (trying to hide) and another
[_STORAGE CAPSULE_] at the end of the walkway.
Up on the bridge now you'll get a scene about the robots doing workers and
get some dialog with the team. Use the console nearby and note the LASERS to
the robots. What you need to do is RUN back to the crane arm, cross it, and
go to the RIGHT to get past the Hydraulic Press.
Once you've done that, look to the east and you'll see that you can jump
over to a small area with a LOCKED CHEST. You'll get the [_NO MERCY_] gun
for Ann, a [_BALM OF LIFE_] and an [_OPAL_]. Head back and across the bridge
nearby, killing the two enemies down here (careful - one of them goes near
the bridge). To the right is a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] and a console. Use it to
destroy the crane nearby and we can continue on.
Once you go past the crane, look to the right for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] in
the corner, then continue to the left (left of the crane) and destroy the two
enemies in this area. Once you've done that head east and in the right corner
is a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_], then north to a CHEST with some [_SHIELD GOGGLES_].
These help you resist the "Dizzy" status.
(-NOTE-) Make sure you have someone who can use a "Hit All" ice move, as
it will help out a ton coming up. Use Yusuke if you need to!
Head back and interact with the yellow console (the checkmark nearby). You
can shut off the YELLOW Press from here. Run back to the destroyed crane,
cross it, and look to the left to cross the yellow press.
This takes us directly to the worker robots. We have NO CHOICE but to fight
them. Run up to them to fight. We will need to take on FIVE "Corporobo MDL-CH"
enemies here... three times in a row. Crazy, yes, but they are ALL weak to
ICE attacks, so use that (hopefully you saw the note above) and then an all
out attack to take them all out easily. Time and time again! Hahaha.
Once they are dead, continue on to the door and we'll be in a new area.
CENTRAL FACTORY
---------------
Head forward here and look to the LEFT for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. You'll get
a scene as you go forward... air locks!? Oh wow. We... we have to go to space?
Well, before that, let's visit the room to the south for a SAFE ROOM.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: CENTRAL FACTORY
Go ahead and SAVE and heal up. Head out now and go to the left, entering
the left room for a CHEST with a [_PARAPSY RING_]. This does medium reduction
of pshychic damage. Head back and use the airlock now... yeah. Well, that was
fun. There are [_STORAGE CAPUSLE x2_] in the area we end up in by the way, one
to the left, one to the right. Use the elevator in the middle to continue.
TRANSFER LINE
-------------
OK, so we're going to have to do some more space jumping. Fun. First, grab
the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] hear and then head through the portal to the north
and you'll get a scene. Seems like some portals are open and some are closed.
The north one is closed, so go through the right one now.
We'll be in a "control room" here. There's [_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_] here, one
in front of you and one to the left. There's also switches here. Examine them
for a scene and then turn on the OMEGA one.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Use the airlocks to proceed
Head to the north portal now and use it. There's an enemy here, so be ready
to fight (there's a whole new group of enemies), and note that there is once
again [_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_] in here: one by the cubby and another at the end.
Make sure the OMEGA door is still active and to east, taking the portal at the
end here south.
They drop us off BETWEEN two enemies here. Quickly look and see which one is
moving away from you and ambush them, then you can kill off the other one.
After that, note the SWITCHES to the right. Use them to turn on the ALPHA
portal and then go west, getting a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] in the corner, then
using the nearby airlock to the north. Nab the [_STORAGE CAPUSLE_] here and
hit the (red) ALPHA lever you find. This is key to getting through this area!
Head back now and EAST to the switches. Turn on the OMEGA one and go all the
way to the WEST, using the portal over here to go north to an area we've been
to before. Use the switches here and turn on the ALPHA switch (it is blue) and
go WEST through the portal, then NORTH into the portal that stopped us earlier
in this area. We can get on the lift and move on to the next area.
Bah, looks like more portals. More importantly there is a SAFE ROOM nearby
to the south. Enter and save (all that fun stuff).
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: TRANSFER LINE
Head out and use the alpha portal to go north. Our goal is the red ALPHA
door to the left, but its inactive. We can only go east. Do so and we've got
some enemies to kill in here. There's also [_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_] in this area:
one to the north and one to the south. Nab them both and kill both enemies in
this area.
Once that is done, note the levers to the north, but leave them alone. Head
to the south now and use the GREEN ALPHA door which should already be lit up.
You're way back will be shut when you take this trip though. A couple of
times actually, until you end up to the east in a long hallway. There's an
enemy here that's patrolling, but he WILL NOT come up to the door you came
from, so you should be safe. Ambush him when you're ready.
The only door we can access here is to the far east. Use it to go north
and we'll be FORCED to go west. We'll go east two room until we get to a
console. Hit the BLUE OMEGA here and we can go back south. DO so and go east
a bit, going back NORTH to the middle area, then EAST again to the far east
area, where we can NOW go NORTH. It is... very confusing...
In here, nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] and note the levers to the right. Make
sure the light is on the BLUE OMEGA and then go north through the ORANGE OMEGA
door. Kill the enemy here and nab the [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] here, then hit the
RED ALPHA lever, which once again is the key to this puzzle.
We'll need to go SOUTH through the green door to continue. But thanks to
having the BLUE ALPHA door on we can escape. Kill the enemy here first of
course and then find the [_STORAGE CAPSULE x2_] in the area. After nabbing
those, head south through the Blue Omega door.
We are semi-rewarded here with a CHEST. Open it for a [_BEAD_] and follow
the path, eventually we'll wind up near the start but can actually go west
to the ELEVATOR and exit this area. Thank god!
WEAPON PRODUCTION
-----------------
We'll get some dialog here as the team looks around. We're in the "Weapon
Production" area now. Fun. Continue to the right when you can but look to
the left for a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_]. There's a SAFE ROOM nearby, but go to
the RIGHT of it first to find a LOCKED CHEST down a slope. Open it up for a
[_HERO EYEPATCH_], a [_PHYSICAL OINTMENT_] and a [_MAGIC OINTMENT_]. Fun. Go
to the SAFE ROOM and save/heal now.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: WEAPON PRODUCTION
Head out now and continue on. There's a BIG AREA here. First time I saw it,
I told myself this is where the boss fight would be. Heh. There's a [_STORAGE
CAPSULE_] to the left too. Head north for a scene as we'll find the TREASURE!
About time, right? We'll look into the mental collapses once we steal his
heart, like the team decides.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Sending the Calling Card
BEFORE you go though, note you can use the ramp to the right of the treasure
and go up it, finding a [_STORAGE CAPSULE_] over there. The map to the left
is an area we can't reach, so don't worry about it.
Well, that's all we have to do. For now, make sure you return to the "Side
Entrance" and have these Persona Types on you:
o EMPRESS
o HIEROPHANT
o HERMIT
o TOWER
o STAR
o HANGED
And as we leave, here's our INFILTRATION LOG for the Spaceport:

We will be back at Leblanc's afterward.
IMPORTANT: Use the YELLOW PHONE at the bar to call over Sadayo and ask for
a MASSAGE. This will give us free time for our evening.
So, with that free time, head on over to the CHURCH and visit HIFUMI.
(-NOTE-) You need RANK 5 KNOWLEDGE (Erudite) to progress onward with

Hifumi at this point. If you've been following this guide, this
isn't a problem for you.
Hang out with Hifumi, who will share her mom's "plan" with her. Ask "What
do you mean" and then you'll hear the strategy good ol' mom has. Tell her
"That won't work". After that just listen to Hifumi and when you can, ask
for her mother's name. "Mitsuyo Togo".
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Upstaging the Stage Mother
And that's all for today! Very good job everyone! It was long and difficult
but you powered through!

OCTOBER 6TH (THURSDAY 10/06)

----------------------------
We actually get a seat on the train today! Let's continue our reading of
"Master Swordsman":
o BOOK PROGRESS: MASTER SWORDSMAN (COMPLETE!)
We will get [_GUTS +3_] for finishing this book. Still not leveled up to
LEVEL 5, but we are EXTREMELY close! We also get a question in class today:
o QUESTION: This device made mass executions possible. You know what it's
called, yes?
o ANSWER: A guillotine.
Well, that was easy. We'll get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] like normal for the right
answer. We'll get two texts once we're done with school today. One for Shinya
who wants to hang out and another about the calling card.
We have a few days before we NEED to send the calling card, so go spend some
time with Shinya for now. We'll meet him at the arcade.
He will want to discuss the fight he had. Tell him "It was pretty weird"
and then once he tells you his plans "I'm sure you can do it". He'll go on
at this point for awhile, giving you a glimpse into his home life, but when
it comes up pick "You need a new strategy". Heh. A big brother, huh? That's
kinda cute. Our rank up will come next:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: AMMO POUCH |
| |
| Increases the maximum number of bullets you can carry. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Not a bad skill! We'll get [_KINDNESS +3_] at this point, which is a nice
boost, if you still need it.
For our night-time activity, we'll get a text from Chihaya. Go ahead and
accept it, as we're about to hit Rank 10. WHEEE!
Chihaya will report on the members of the scheme. Tell her "You've changed"
for some points and pick whatever answer you wish for the second choice. She
will read a fortune and share her convictions with us. Tell her "I support you"
here for good points.
Chihaya will then share that she read... OUR identity. Hehe. Pick whatever
options you wish from here on out as she shares her belief in us and promises
to always be our side. Thank you, Chihaya...
.'��'.

| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SPECIAL FATE READING |
| |
| Provides a preview of all abilities for a Confidant |
| of your choice. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse LAKSHMI, the most powerful Persona of the WHEEL
OF FORTUNE Arcana.
That's all for today, but that's another RANK 10 maxed confidant. Not too
shabby, if I do say so myself!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 7TH (FRIDAY 10/07)

--------------------------
We'll be done with school automatically today. That was fast! No texts
either, huh? Oh man... we're running out of people to hang out with!
Today, I went out to Akihabara and bought some video games:
.��.
( - SUPER BARON - )________________________________________________________
`��
-$- GAMES -$-

��
Power Intuition 5,300 Yen Golfer Sarutahiko 5,600 Yen
(-NOTE-) Go ahead and buy them both. Only two more games. Bah, the selection
sure is bad! Bah!
.��.
________________________________________________________( - SUPER BARON - )
��`��
After that, I went to the LIBRARY and read "Ghost Encounters":
o BOOK PROGRESS: GHOST ENCOUNTERS (1/2 TABS)
We'll be back at Leblanc's after that. Tonight is a good night to go hang

out with Mishima. He's over at Akihabara, so head out there and choose to
hang out with him.
We'll go and meet Akiyama. Wow... he's getting roughed up. Ha. Well, this
is interesting. Pick "I'm not leaving" when you can. Yuuki really tries a
gambit here. Tell him to "Believe in yourself" and it'll work. Wow... after
that, say "Wait, that was all an act?" and he'll be pretty happy about it.
Hah. Best I've ever seen this kid... We'll get our rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Well, Mishima is getting close to maxing out too, huh? Nice. That's it for
today, so onto the 8th we go!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 8TH (SATURDAY 10/08)

----------------------------
We get a group text in school today. Another reminder to send out the
calling card. We'll get THREE texts today. Crazy. One is about the Palace,
the next is about Shinya, and the third is about Mishima. Be SURE to read
the Mishima one for a request:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Man of Many Faces and Debts
Go ahead and accept Shinya's invitation and hang out with him.
We'll meet him at the arcade here, where he'll state the games are on him
today. Say "If you insist" and afterwards you'll find out why. Heh. Sounds
like he's being a jerk. Tell him "You're acting like one" when the other
kids leave and then he'll change his mindset.
Tell him "I believe in you" after that and then "Not at all". Our brotherly
affection will shine through after that. Good kid.
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: CHEAP SHOT |
| |
| Decreases the total number of bullets used to carry |
| out a Down Shot. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get [_KINDNESS +3_] as well. Very nice.
We'll be back at Leblanc's after that. Tonight, I'm going to get some more
reading in, and continue the "Ghost Encounters" book:
o BOOK PROGRESS: GHOST ENCOUNTERS (COMPLETE!)
This will reward us [_GUTS +3_], but we STILL don't have enough. OK, that's
OK, we have a special thing we can do tomorrow to FINALLY polish our stats
off once and for all.
But that's the night for us. Mishima will TRY to invite us out tonight, but
be sure to DECLINE. We MUST sent out the calling card after all...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 9TH (SUNDAY 10/09)

--------------------------
It is SUNDAY!
No shopping on TV and the ol' plant is doing OK. The first thing I want to
do today is head to JINBOCHO, the Bookwork Paradise. Since we finished the
Master Swordsman, we can buy a new book:
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Call Me Chief 8,000 Yen

(-NOTE-) One book at a time is how this bookstore works! Let's go ahead
and buy it!
.��.
��`��
OK, after that, head to SHINJUKU and buy the FATE READING. Get the one for
"GUTS". Now, head to the Shibuya Underground Walkway. You can get the JUICE
here today, which is "Nasty Aojiru". Drink it to get [_GUTS +2_]. THIS should
be enough to push us to our next rank:
o GUTS RANK UP! (GUTS RANK 5: LIONHEARTED)
(-NOTE-) You will get the "True Talent" Bronze Trophy for finally maxing
out all your social stats. Just a bronze, Persona!? This feels
like it should be a silver, to be quite honest!
(-NOTE-) During TOOL MAKING this evening, IF you need the Proficiency, be
sure to SAVE and make tools until you get the +3 PROFICIENCY bonus!
This is a good time to make up time in case you missed some stat
bonus time earlier in the guide.
OK, after that, go ahead and send out the CALLING CARD. After that, spend
the evening making tools. I made the Eternal Lockpick tonight, along with
elemental items (for finding enemy weaknesses). If you DO NOT have max
Proficiency yet, this is a good time to work on that, as the note above
mentions!
The day will move on soon afterwards...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 10TH (MONDAY 10/10)

---------------------------
OK, after school today we'll be on our way to Steal Okumura's Heart. Once
you get into the Spaceport Dungeon, pay attention to the notes below. These
should help out with the boss fight coming up.
(-NOTE-) It's a good idea to make sure the party members you take to this
boss encounter have the "Harisen Recovery" move. I recommend a party
of Makoto, Ryuji and Yusuke (the hit-all ice and electricity are both
helpful). Makoto should also have Mediarama for all of our healing
moves. Be sure your main character has a hit-all fire move, a bless
move, and psychic magic as well.
Also note that you'll be hit with a lot of "Famine" type moves
during the upcoming boss fight, which lowers your attack. Not a
horrible idea to wear items that can negate that, but it's also a
status ailment, so Harisen Recovery should take care of you most
of the time. Bring someone with Amrita Shower as well.
We also get some objectives here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to Weapon Production
(-NOTE-) This is our last time in the SPACEPORT, so be sure to get all of
the enemies as Persona's and if you wish you can hunt for more
items to steal. I didn't do much of that, honestly, and pretty
much just went for the Treasure.
WEAPON MAINTENANCE
------------------
Head to the last Safe Room and we'll get a cut-scene as we approach the
Treasure. It seems a new area has opened up. Head to the right and follow
the path. We'll have to get into a couple of fights as we head along. There
may be a time limit here, but get the ambush opportunities, hit the enemy
weak spots, and hurry on.
There should be two fights before you run head-first into a CHEST, so be
sure to stop and loot it for a [_BRIGANDINE_]. Keep on going after that,
fighting your way forward to the spaceship and then you'll soon get a
cut-scene.
Enjoy all of the scenes here and soon we'll be fighting the boss of this
Palace!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: KUNIKAZU MAMMON OKUMURA ~ |
| �� |
| |
| Okumura is... not really our target thoughout this fight. He is more |
| of a ruler than a threat it seems, and will instead send out his |
| workers to fight you. Well, workers and management. This means you are |
| going to see a steady onslaught of workers, with ever-increasing rank |
| join the fight. The GOOD news is (Great, really...) that EACH rank has |
| a weakness we can exploit! Bwahahaha! Well, all but the last one... |
| |
| OH! We also have a 30 minute time limit! I almost forgot to mention |
| that! Don't worry about it though: you should finish this battle in |
| 20 minutes or less fairly easily. Morgana WILL mention when you hit |
| the 15 minute marker though. No reason for alarm! |
| |
| I'm going to list ALL of the workers below with their weaknesses, so |
| you can easily get past them. Before that though, note that these |
| workers can MIX with each other, so you may have to wait a bit to hit |
| them all with their weakness if they get mixed up. Also note that there |
| is NO ALL OUT ATTACK option in this fight. So it is often beneficial to |
| simply hit enemies with their weakness AGAIN or BATON PASS to Yusuke |
| and let him use "Rising Slash" to severely damage one target or "Heat |
| Wave" to damage multiple targets. Now, let's list the MINION WORKERS |
| you are going to be fighting down below: |
| |
| |
| o Corporobo MDL-WKR WEAK TO: FIRE |
| |
| o Corporobo MDL-CH WEAK TO: ICE |
| |
| o Corporrobo MDL-AM WEAK TO: LIGHTNING |
| |
| o Corporobo MDL-DM WEAK TO: BLESS |
| |
| o Corporobo MDL-GM WEAK TO: PSYCHIC |
| |
| |
| So, HALF OF THIS BOSS FIGHT is you fighting the above enemies. Not |
| very hard at all. Use Makoto for healing duties and hit their various |
| weaknesses when you can, using your ONE MORE to hit them again or pass |
| to Ryuji/Yusuke for physical damage. BE SURE to heal up fully when the |
| Corporobo MDL-GM comes out as we need to get ready for the SECOND HALF |
| of this boss fight. |
| |
| |
| The second half of this boss battle is against Okumura's "Right Hand |
| Man"... a robot named "Execurobo MDL-ED". THIS is really the "Boss |
| Battle" and will be our first real challenge. |
| |
| Okumura will help the giant robot out here with status buff or debuff |
| moves, which is admittedly annoying. He will also start to use the |
| two Famine Moves below (be sure to check all the moves below... note |
| that these moves are only for "Execurobo" and Okumura). There is one |
| move I want to point out: the BIG BANG ORDER! |
| |
| The BIG BANG ORDER is a command issued by Okumura to the robot. Once |
| the robot receives it, you need to IMMEDIATELY heal. The robot will |
| focus when its his turn (which is your cue to GUARD) and on the next |
| turn the Execurobo will use "Big Bang Challenge". THIS is the SUPER |
| move and can easily do 200+ damage even when you are guarding (so be |
| SURE to guard). |
| |
| That's all I really have to share. Execurobo is NOT WEAK to anything, |
| so just keep hitting him with your best magic and strongest skills to |
| whittle down his HP. Keep your HP up with Makoto and guard during the |
| "Big Bang Challenge" and you'll pull out of this fight OK. Once the |
| big robot is down... well... you know what to do. Enjoy... |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| NOTE: This list only includes Okumura and "Execurobo MDL-ED". |
| |
| - Executive Punch: This is the big robot's main physical attack. He |
| will target a single party member and punch them. This move isn't |
| very threatening, so you really want to see it. Gives you a chance |
| to heal everyone easily. |
| |
| - Dekaja: This is one of Okumura's status debuff attacks. Dekaja will |
| remove ALL status buffs from the party. Annoying for sure. I actually |
| had this happen after Futaba gave me all of the buffs. One reason why |
| its a good idea to just stick to putting Attack Up on Yusuke and stay |
| away from buffing everyone. |
| |
| - Famine's Breath: This move is another one of Okumura's. It will put |
| the "Hunger" status on one party member. If your party members have |
| "Harisen Recovery", there's a good chance you don't have to do anything |
| to cure this. If not, use an item or Amrita Shower / Me Patra. |
| |
| - Famine's Scream: This move only really appears neat the end of the |
| battle and by Okumura. This is the same as "Famine's Breath", but it |
| hits EVERYONE with Hunger. Hopefully it misses a few people, but if |
| it doesn't, use items or Amrita Shower. |
| |
| - Tarunda: Another annoying move from Okumura. This is a debuff that |
| will lower your attack for three turns. Either counter it or just |
| let it ride. |
| |
| - Rakunda: Another annoying status debuff from Okumura. This one puts |
| defense down on someone for three turns. I recommend countering it |
| as we don't need it messing with us, especially considering the move |
| down below... |
| |
| - Big Bang Order/Challenge: This is the "SUPER MOVE" for this boss fight. |
| It starts out with Okumura giving the Big Bang Order to the robot and |
| it will make the robot charge up. Heal up! Once the robot charges for |
| a turn, it will use 'Big Bang Challenge" and cause extreme damage to |
| everyone. This will do about 200 damage even when you guard, but you |
| can definitely live through it, so be sure to guard with everyone and |
| heal up with Mediarama afterwards! |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
There's plenty of scenes after this boss fight, so enjoy! We don't end up
learning an awful lot, but the plot does advance. The mysterious figure that
shows up afterwards should have you VERY concerned. Oh man...
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon, talking with Morgana. Talking is bonding

after all, and soon we'll have a rank up (almost max!):
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet. We're almost at level 10 with Morgana. That's all for the day though.
We'll meet with Igor during our sleep, who warns us being near the peak may
mean a downfall is near (great...). We also get a scene with Morgana having a
Nightmare once again before the day advances...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll make plans with a group text before school. We'll soon have a question
at school we have to answer:
o QUESTION: Which do you think most people choose to name "kiki"?
o ANSWER: A.
Well, that is weird. We get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] for the right answer, as always.
We will get another group text after that, followed by a scene with everyone
up on the roof. Daww...
As we work on the plants, the group will discuss the next celebration. Enjoy
the dialog and the place they end up going to. It apparently pays to have Haru
as a friend...
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Spaceport of Greed Destroyed" Bronze Trophy for
defeating Shadow Okumura and ending his business of greed.
The scenes that happen here, with the change of heart... are dramatic. Just,
wow. Things go very wrong, as you may expect from what we saw at the spaceport
but still... poor Haru...
Soon we'll be back at Leblancs. After the dialog and texting here we'll get
some updated objectives:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Follow the situation

Once again, there's nothing else we can do right now except go to bed.
We will wake up in prison tonight. He'll sum up the situation from his point
of view and soon we'll get a rank-up with him:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
That's all for today. We'll move onto the next day soon enough...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
We'll get some group texts at school today. Seems the police are here, but
Haru is out of school today (as you would imagine). Makoto will tell us all
to go home right away.
We'll get a scene with Sae and Haru after that, then a "real world" scene
where Sae will sum up the situation and proclaim she doesn't think we are
lying, which is quite surprising. We'll actually get a rank up with her here:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll get a scene where Sae shows us who our next target was... oh wow...
So shocking! The one who we decided will prove our innocence...
Back to our game play. Haru isn't responding to the team. Poor Haru...
Once again there's nothing we can do here, so let's just go to bed. The next
day will come soon enough...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
Haru will message us early this morning, asking if we can meet up after
school to talk. Good idea. School passes quickly today, but we'll get a
scene with the SIU Director as well.
Well, we'll have out team meeting after that. It's pretty obvious after
Haru's question that we're being set up. We need to address this, but we
are still in the public eye and have midterms coming up.
This leads to a couple of new objectives as the team leaves for the day:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Act like an honest student
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get ready for midterms
Like the past few days, we have no choice but to go to sleep and watch
our approval rating drop. Ah, what can be done? We must live an honest life
for now...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
We'll get a text from Haru before school today. She really does have a good
heart, it seems. We'll also get a text DURING school regarding being set up
and what to do about it. Not much, honestly.
After school, Mishima will contact us about a request. A particularly

dangerous one about an assassin named "Yohei Kiritani". Oh wow...
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Killer Who Cleans Up Trash
OK, after that we get a text from Makoto on studying.

(-NOTE-) This is another "Catch Up" day. If you NEED KNOWLEDGE still and
Makoto Points, this is a fantastic event and you should take it.
Otherwise, if you are good on Knowledge, you can catch up on
whatever else today (that the game lets you).
I also took some time today to get a STRENGTH RANK UP. This is of course
doing PERSONA FUSING for the TWINS. If you remember, they asked us to give
them a "Hecatoncheires with the skill MASUKUNDA".
This is pretty easy, actually. First, make sure you have a Lilim, which
was in Okumura Palace, and we have to combine it with a Unicorn.
In case you don't have Unicorn, use Isis x Kin-Ki to get it.
Be SURE you pick MASUKUNDA as one of the inherited skills. Show it to the
Twins and you will get the rank up soon after that.
.'��'.

| NEW ABILITY: ISOLATION |

| Allows you to learn stronger attribute resistance |
| skills from Lockdown. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Very nice! Now, for our next assignment, we are told to bring them a BUGS
with Samarecarm. We can do that once we get to LEVEL 49, which will be fairly
soon, so don't worry!
OK, so now that that is done, I'm heading to the SHUJIN ACADEMY LIBRARY to
do some reading. As the note above states, you can use this to catch up on
Confidants if needed. I'm going to start reading the "Call Me Chief" book
that we got recently:
(-NOTE-) I also did a HARD SAVE here and did the "Guardian of the Pond"
TROPHY. It took SEVERAL DAYS to do, but if you save here and
focus on it, you can knock it out and just re-load the save here
and continue on without having to EVER WORRY about spending time
trying to get that trophy. If you are going for the PLATINUM
TROPHY in this game, I highly recommend doing this.
o BOOK PROGRESS: CALL ME CHIEF (1/3 TABS DONE)

For our evening activity, note that you can GIVE YOUR PLANT NUTRIENTS. You
may not need to if you've been following this guide, but if not give it the
MEGA NUTRIENTS for a +3 Kindness Boost.
After that, let's spend time with Sojiro (note that we DO get a text from
Mishima as well... he is ready to rank up too). Go ahead and hang out with
Sojiro.
(-NOTE-) Remember that you need KINDNESS RANK 5 to level up with Sojiro
past Rank 6!
Futaba will come in and try to help... in her own way. After she and Sojiro
argue she'll run off and then we should say "You might be right". We'll go up
and talk to Futaba now. Ask her "Do you want to talk?" here. Once you talk a
bit, pick "You should tell him that" and the enjoy the rest of the scenes here.
We will get our rank up soon after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We also get [_KINDNESS +3_] here... for whatever good that does?! That's it
for today though! Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
Today we'll get some texts during school about what we're going to do next.
Sounds like Futaba has a plan of some sort.
(-NOTE-) You may also get some CHALK thrown at you! If you have high enough
proficiency, you should dodge it and get +2 CHARM.
After school, we'll get two texts. One on studying with Yusuke, another from
Shinya who wants to hang out. Let's go ahead and hang out with Shinya.
We'll actually meet him OUTSIDE the arcade. Huh. He'll start talking about
his mom and what she's like... until she finds us. Uh-oh! This isn't good!
Say "Bad influence?" here and then as she goes on, pick "Think about his
feelings" followe by "I haven't don't anything" when she goes aggro.
Shinya will meet up with us afterwards and asks us to help him change her
back to how she used to be, giving us her name: "Hanae Oda". We get a rank
up here as well:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also have a SCRIPTED meeting with the team, but we do NOT have a formal
REQUEST yet. Be patient: it will come soon enough!
For our evening activity, we'll get a text from Ann wanting to study. Uh, no
thanks! Let's go hang out with Iwai from the Airsoft Shop instead.
(-NOTE-) You need GUTS 5 to continue with Iwai to RANK 8!
We'll meet up with Iwai's ex-employer to talk about the deal. He sounds like
he really does want Iwai back working for him! Heh. On your first dialog choice
pick "I did it all for Iwai". Watch what happens after that (no wonder we
needed max guts!) and then pick "I want to help you".
Ask for his full name after that. "Akimitsu Tsuda". We'll get a request after
that:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Shady Deal in the Shadows
And with that, we're done for the day! Another request received!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Sunday! No shopping on TV today. That sucks. We can go get a drink like

usual though, but give the note below a read as you may not even need to do
it anymore (although, if you DO need stats, go drink it anyway to make the
next drink on sunday ROTATE TO A NEW STAT).
(-NOTE-) Remember that you can get the "Onsen Aojiru" from the Shibuya
Underground Walkway! If you need KINDNESS, also get a LUCK FORTUNE
from Shinjuku and THEN buy the drink for a +2 Kindness boost. ALSO,
if you need any other stat, continue to drink the drinks as it will
cycle around the drinks that way (otherwise it'll stay on selling
the kindness drink).
I know, I stressed rotating drinks a lot! For our morning activity, let's go
hang out with FUTABA.
Once we're at the diner, Mishima will show up. Tell Futaba "He's in my class"
(the other choice cracks me up though) and after that be SURE that you pick
"I think you're right" for good points (natural twenty!). After a bit of talk
between Futaba and Mishima, pick "He's the protagonist" for good points (even
though I really wanted to pick something else!). We'll get a rank up after
that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our evening event, we'll get a text from Ryuji about studying. Again,
we aren't doing that. Instead, let's spend time with Sojiro. I'm amazed we
didn't have to do any fortune reading!
When Sojiro starts talking about the menu, say "Something with curry" for
some good points. We'll have to deal with the Uncle after that. Great...
Watch the scenes (wow, that guy is pathetic) and then pick "I was just
protecting Futaba" and he'll be happy enough. We'll get a rank up after that
even:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sojiro will head home for the day. We'll get a message from Futaba soon after
that though, and she'll want to change her Uncle's heart in Mementos. Smart
girl. "Youji Isshiki" huh. Sounds easy enough. She'll want it to just be the
two of us though.
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Money-Grubbing Uncle
That's it for today. Our website poll will take a hit and the day will move
on like always...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
Today is the START of exams. This is going to last a couple days, so like
last time, get ready for a deluge of questions. With our MAX KNOWLEDGE though,
as long as you get these questions right, we will get a trophy!
o QUESTION: What is the origin of the word "Guillotine"?
o ANSWER: Name of the one who proposed it.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: First of all, who proposed the idea of the guillotine?
o ANSWER: A doctor.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: So, from his perspective, what was the advantage of the
guillotine?
o ANSWER: It could execute people quickly.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Another day, another round of questions (while our popularity plummets).
o QUESTION: Which of the following statements about this ball is true?
o ANSWER: It has thirty-two faces.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: What is the meaning of "robota", the Czech word that is the
root word of "robot"?
o ANSWER: Slave labor.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
Even more questions today! Keep going!
o QUESTION: What is the English name for the phenomenon where it feels
like your cell phone is vibrating?
o ANSWER: Phantom Vibration Syndrome.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: Which of the following government organizations do the

cormorant fishermen of Nagaragawa belong to?
o ANSWER: The Imperial Household Agency.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
We get the "Knowledge Portion" of the exams today, which is completely

dependant on your KNOWLEDGE SCORE. Should be maxed out by now! I can't wait
to see your scores either!
Futaba will message us after clas. The police are apparently investigating
our school. Figures. There are SEVERAL scenes today. First we'll meet up with
Haru while she takes care of her vegetables. Go ahead and answer however you
want here (I was surprised that this didn't lead to a rank up, to be honest).
After that we'll meet at the hideout. Futaba will share some news, but there
is a lot of dialog here. The team will figure a few things out though, which
is good. We also get a scene with Sae and the SIU Director. More things are
being set in motion...
Nothing else we can do for the day, unfortunately. We have a couple of

new objectives:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the true culprit
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Elude the investigation team
Go ahead and go to sleep once you are able.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 21ST (FRIDAY 10/21)

---------------------------
Today is a pretty short day, but very uneventful for us. We'll learn from
a teacher that the Cultural Festival has been moved back.
We'll also get questioned by the police (everyone is). Sounds like they
know who our friends are. That's not a good sign. Tell them "Yeah, that
happened" followed by "Is that really true?". That went fairly well...
We'll also have a team meeting today. Enjoy the dialog here and respond
however you wish once more. At the end of the day we, once again, can't go
out and do anything, so just go to bed. We can actually do some stuff
tomorrow though.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 22ND (SATURDAY 10/22)

-----------------------------
At school, we'll get a question today:
o QUESTION: What number should be in the middle of this square in order

to make it a magic square?
o ANSWER: Five.
Answer correctly for our usual [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost. This was a good
question. We'll get a group text after that and will have to help out Makoto
with the Student Council duties after that. Sounds like Akechi is going to
be visiting our school.
Once we get home from school, we'll also see a newscast with Akechi in it,
stating we MIGHT be innocent. Huh. Another group text chat will happen after
that. Respond to Sojiro however you wish (I picked "Pretty Much" here...).
For our evening activity, let's go hang out with Mishima in Akihabara (he
is ready to rank up... and most of our other contacts need mementos missions).
Mishima will take us to the Diner today. Tell him "You showed some real
courage" here for good points. We'll get a scene with Akiyama here. Pick
"Something like that" and soon Akiyama will leave and we'll have our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Oh, so very close to being at max rank! Sweet! Tell Mishima "This came out
of nowhere" once he tells you his plans and then pick whatever you wish after
that. Heh. The day will come to an end after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
OCTOBER 23RD (SUNDAY 10/23)

---------------------------
Sunday!
No time to enjoy ourselves though. We have another meeting first thing this
morning. Pick whatever choice you wish here. It seems Akechi is coming to
school, and we're going to try and get info from him. Seems like a BAD IDEA
to me...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Gain Akechi's Intel
OK, now we have the day to ourselves... or the night, rather. Bah.
(-NOTE-) THIS is a good night to catch up with whatever you haven't done.
I will be READING tonight. If you need to catch up any of the
night confidants that I've already had done, this is the night!
OK, like I mentioned above, I'm going to read tonight (I also did some
laundry... or Kawakami did, anyways). Read at the Leblanc's Bar, the book
we've been working on:
o BOOK PROGRESS: CALL ME CHIEF (2/3 TABS DONE)
Sweet. Well, we're almost done. Time to go to bed though. Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
We'll hear some rumors on the way to school. More talk about Akechi. Bah.
o QUESTION: Can you tell me what the S in SOS means?
o ANSWER: It's meaningless.
We'll get our usual [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost. During lunch time, we get to
see what our grades are from the exam. If you've been following this guide,
you should have got TOP OF THE CLASS here, which gives you [_CHARM +3_] and
the trophy below:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Mask of an Honor Student" Bronze Trophy for
getting TOP OF THE CLASS on your exams! Congrats!
You MAY also have to dodge chalk in class today. Doing so will give you a
nice [_CHARM +2_] bonus.
After school, we'll head back to Leblanc's for... Akechi. Figures. Pick
whatever responses you wish here. Soon that "Shido" politician will be on
the TV and Akechi will come off as pro-Phantom Thief. Or, at least not just
outright calling them murderers. Pick whatever responses you wish and soon
we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our evening, we are once again going to read, which gives you (or perhaps
SOMEONE out there) a chance to catch up a bit:
Let's continue reading our long book once again:
o BOOK PROGRESS: CALL ME CHIEF (COMPLETE!)
With the book completed, you also get a [_KINDNESS +3_] bonus. Very nice!
We'll be done with the day after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Today is the Culture Festival.
During this school event we'll be listening to a lot of dialog. No walking

around or checking our other booths. Boo! Oh well... pick whatever dialog
you wish here throughout the day.
Soon we'll be at home resting up. We can't do anything during the evening,
so head to bed.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
Day TWO of the Culture Festival.

Enjoy the scenes here as Akechi shows up as the guest of honor. Makoto will
actually start to grill him, obviously trying to gain info. Huh. He goes so
far as to almost name WHO he thinks the Phantom Thieves are before his phone
rings and he calls our entire group to the back room.
The scenes here are quite revealing. Pick whatever dialog options you wish
here, as the game kind-of directs the interrogation to its own conclusion.
Goro is aware of who we are and has "proof". I can't imagine it would prove
anything, honestly, but the team is still being... blackmailed here. Still,
answer however you wish and we'll get a rank up soon (which is a bit odd):
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After that, you can choose WHO TO SPEND TIME WITH. This is completely up to
you of course, but I chose to go with Makoto. You'll get a different scene
depending on who you pick, so just choose whoever you want and whatever dialot
you wish. You may also get an item once you are done (I got [_MAKOTO DONUTS_],
for example).
We also get a scene with the SIU director. He's pressuring Sae quite a bit
it seems, trying to get her to act.
After that we'll get the (inevitable) scene with Sojiro and Futaba. Well,
this will go well, I'm sure. Tell him "Don't blame Futaba" and we will all
sit down to discuss it.
Sojiro will listen to Futaba's explanation and then connect the dots with
us and the Phantom Thieves. Oh boy... Tell him "Sorry for keeping quiet" next
and then, well... "I am a Phantom Thief".
Futaba will shock Sojiro with the "killed" statement next. Futaba will
essentially convince him after that. Amazing. Pick "That's not true" after
that. The scene will be over soon.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Decide on Akechi joining
Well... we have freedom again, but we can't do anything. Try to go to bed

and Futaba will end up leaving. Sleep after that and the day will be over.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
There's an interesting report on TV today. THIRTY MILLION YEN! Oh wow!

Sojiro must be tempted, eh!? Hehe... Pick whatever dialog you want here and
then we'll be at school.
That doesn't last too long though. We'll have a team meeting after that.
There's a lot of dialog here (Ryuji needs to calm down) but we'll have a
dialog choice near the end. Pick what you wish here (I picked "Turn the
Tables) and soon the meeting will be over.
After everyone's gone, Ryuji will call to apologize. Very nice of him,
right? We'll get a group text after that. Fun. We'll be left to our own
after all of that, but once again we really can't do much, so let's go to
bed and keep advancing the plot on another day...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
We'll see a scene with Shido rising in political power this morning. Bah...
we know he's really no good. The man behind the scenes, you think? Hmm...
Today we'll be meeting with Akechi. He continues to lay on the pressure,

which the group seems to buy hook line and sinker. He'll lay out his reasons
and who (and why) he wants to target. Huh... Go ahead and respond however you
want. We really have no choice but to co-operate with him. Literally. The game
gives us no choice. After all of this is done though, we will have to disband.
Grrr... Finish up the team meeting and answer Morgana however you wish.
After the team meeting, we will be back in the "Real World" with Sae. She
will question us further about herself and Goro Akechi, interested in how
things are turning out. Answer her however you wish here as she sees our
motivation. We'll lose focus a bit. On the next dialog choice, I like to
pick "I haven't lost yet". Sae will reflect on the traitor and her role as
a puppet, which will lead to a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
She still doesn't fully believe in us though, asking us to relate what has
happened from Goro's visit to her change of heart...
This puts us back in Leblanc's, where we'll have Futaba looking into Sae
so we can learn more about her. Futaba takes this to far though, but ask her
"What else can you dig up?". Hehehe... We don't get to hear the final thing
Morgana asks Futaba here, as the game keeps it a secret and the day comes to
an end...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
We'll get a group chat in class today about where we are going to meet up.
School will be over soon and we'll all be at the courthouse. This still just
doesn't seem right to me. Akechi will explain our time limit and... get his
phone stolen by Futaba. Haha... We get a rank up with him as well... Huh...
.'��'.

| party members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
WOW. We got a LOT of new moves here. Very nice! We'll head into the palace
soon. Enjoy the animated scene here and soon we'll decide on a code name for
Goro. "Crow". Sounds good, although I want to see his uniform, for sure!
We'll be in the Palace soon. Oh man, that music. Sexy.
CASINO ENTRANCE
---------------
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Sae Niijima's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Secure an infiltration route
Well, let's do this. Head forward to the end of the area, but take the small
path to the right when you see it (you'll get some dialog if you try to go
straight instead). Use the ladder here and head upwards to the roof, then
follow the path to a door.
We'll get a scene once we enter the Palace proper. We get to see Goro's
outfit too. Interesting. I put him in my party, by the way. You can check
out his Persona as well. Robin Hood! Haha... damn, starting to like him.
MAIN FLOOR
----------
Our objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the Casino
There's a lot of jumping from hanging platform to hanging platform. Head

across the floor and around the central circle area. We can only go one way
after all, so this is easy. You'll come to a door eventually, which is locked,
so continue across the way and use the vent you find to your lower right to
continue on.
As you move out to this new area, Sae will call out to you. Busted...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to Shadow Sae's location
Drop down and on the ground floor head to each side for [_ORNAMENT x2_] and
then go talk to Shadow Sae. Seems like she has a sense of fairness, and tells
us where the treasure is, challenging us to come up and get it. Huh. OK then.
Go examine the elevator after that. Before we leave though, we'll get into a
fight with a "Cruel Leopard". Akechi will claim to pull his weight here, and
he does for the most part. Use bless damage here for decent damage and just
beat it up. We are only fighting this one enemy on this Palace Visit, so don't
worry too much and feel free to go all out.
The team will decide that there must be an ambush coming, and that it is best
to leave now and prepare properly for the palace. This will cause us to leave
the Palace automatically.
(-NOTE-) Now that you have Crow in your party you should look into doing
the "Passionate Listener" trophy. View the Trophy Guide for more
details on it. I actually did this without Crow, so WITH Crow
should be MUCH easier.
Note that I also SAVED, went into Mementos JUST for this trophy,
and reloaded. Look into the trophy guide to buy things and make
sure you are prepared for this!
Back at Leblanc's, we'll have a group text chat and then be left on our own.
As usual though, we have no choice but to go to sleep for the day. Goodnight!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

---------------------------
We'll get a text from Makoto today. Answer how you wish and then our mission
to change Sae Niijima's Heart will start in earnest. We'll have 21 days to do
it in!
Well... it is SUNDAY though! For starters, you can give you PLANT MEGA
FERTILIZER TODAY if you wish. It will give you a nice free [_KINDNESS +3_]
boost.
Also note that we DO NOT have a shopping channel event today. BOO!
(-NOTE-) Remember that you can get the "Seafood Aojiru" from the Shibuya
Underground Walkway! If you need KNOWLEDGE, also get a LUCK FORTUNE
from Shinjuku and THEN buy the drink for a +2 Knowledge boost. ALSO,
the knowledge drink).
Also, be sure to go to JINBOCHO in order to buy a new book, as we have

finished reading "Call Me Chief":
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Reckless Casanova 8,000 Yen
and buy it!
.��.
��`��
Now, for our day activity, be sure you have a PERSONA that is strong against
PHYSICAL ATTACKS, as well as a Persona that can heal up one ally fairly well.
Someone that can decrease accuracy can be helpful as well.
The reason we want all of this is because we are going to go hang out with
FUTABA. Doing this is part of the request "The Money-Grubbing Uncle". We will
go and SOLO this mini boss in Mementos with Futaba. Save and choose to do so:
MINI BOSS: SHADOW ISSHIKI
This fight isn't too bad as long as you prepared. The boss will do about
100-120 damage per round, less if you are strong against physical attacks
(a lesson I learned after the fact). This is due to the fact that this boss
primarily uses "Rising Slash", so use that fact to your advantage and beat
him down. Heal when needed (if you need to... you could have a Persona that
nullifies physical attacks) and you'll emerge victorious with Futaba's help.
After the fight, choose whichever dialog you wish and nab the treasure that
shows up for a _VENTURE SABER_]. We'll have completed the quest as well:
o REQUEST COMPLETED: The Money-Grubbing Uncle
We'll be back in Leblanc's after that. What a quick Mementos trip! We get
a group text chat here. After that, let's spend time with Sojiro, considering
what we just did.
Talk to him and tell him the exams went "Great" for a [_LEBLANC CHARM_].
This thing has a coffee bean in it! Haha, it nullifies sleep. That's about
right.
Talk to him again to hang out and we'll spend time with him this evening.
We'll get a visit from investigator's tonight. Fun. When you get a chance,
tell them "It's great". Futaba's response really gets to Sojiro. Oh man...
I'm genuinely touched here! Tell him "You have a great daughter" next to get
a good family vibe. Our rank up will come soon after:

OCTOBER 31ST (MONDAY 10/31)

---------------------------
Makoto will try to get us to go into the Palace today. Settle down, woman!
After that, we'll get some FREE TIME in class, courtesy of Kawakami! Whee!
Let's go ahead and start to read "Reckless Casanova":
o BOOK PROGRESS: RECKLESS CASANOVA (1/3 TABS DONE)
Sweet. We'll get a couple of texts today. One about the Palace, one from
Haru. This is a first...
(-NOTE-) This is the FIRST DAY we can do the Haru Confidant. This is one of
the final ones in the game, so we need to get started on it ASAP!
Let's go ahead and head up to the ROOF of the building and hang out with
Haru. She'll take her vegetables to Sojiro to check out today, eventually
getting them judged and deciding they can prove useful as a source of energy
to the Phantom Thieves. Wow. Enjoy the dialog and pick what you wish, and we
will have our first rank up with Haru soon:
.'��'.

| CONFIDANT: HARU OKUMURA |

| EMPRESS ARCANA: RANK UP (RANK 1) |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Huh. Well, hope your thumb is green! We'll get a tutorial about growing
vegetables next:
TUTORIAL - GROWING VEGETABLES WITH HARU:

.-��
|
| You can ask Haru, who has an incredible green thumb, to grow
| vegetables for you.
|
| Haru's vegetables are full of energy and grant a variety of effects
| when used as items. They may prove useful when exploring the Metaverse.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
After that, we'll be at Leblanc's for our evening activity. For our last day
in October, let's finish up with Sojiro. Go ahead and hang out with him and
he'll take us to the church. Say "For what?" to learn why and we'll head out.
Here, go ahead and listen to Sojiro and say "Thank you" once you get the
chance. We'll get a lot of nice dialog here and the cheesy moments will flow.
We'll get our final rank up soon enough as Sojiro fully opens up to us:
.'��'.

Hierophant Arcana.
Very nice! And that's all we have to do today! A very good end for October!

NOVEMBER 1ST (TUESDAY 11/01)

----------------------------
School goes by today rather quickly. We get a message from Shinya today,
which is what I've been waiting for. Go ahead and accept it as long as you
don't have anything else to do!
Once you meet up with Shinya, choose to give him the Calling Card. After
that, tell him "Is that what you think?" for points and then "Believe in them"
after that for better points. Shinya will talk about giving her the card. Say
"Way to step up" and after he talks about his mom, pick "Let's save her" for
good points. We'll get a rank up after this:
.'��'.

| NEW ABILITY: ELECTRIC SLUG |

Very nice! We get a [_KINDNESS +3_] boost here as well. Fun.
As we get back to Leblanc's, Shinya will message us about the calling card:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: A Mother's Aggression
OK, very good. We've got a LOT of Mementos Missions now and pretty
desperately need to go on a Mementos trip. Soon... soon. Not tonight
though, sadly.
As the note above says, I talked to the customers at Leblanc's until they
left, and then read (continued to read) "Reckless Casanova":
o BOOK PROGRESS: RECKLESS CASANOVA (2/3 TABS DONE)
That's it for tonight! We'll move onto the next day automatically!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 2ND (WEDNESDAY 11/02)

------------------------------
Oh sweet! We get a seat on the train today! Go ahead and finish off the
book we've been reading (or whatever you have been reading, if you haven't
been following this guide 100% for whatever reason):
o BOOK PROGRESS: RECKLESS CASANOVA (COMPLETE!)
We will get a nice [_CHARM +3_] after we finish it. Not that we need it,
right? We'll also get a question during class today:
o QUESTION: The word "wack" was also used in a coded language from
history. What was that language?
o ANSWER: Thieves' Cant.
We'll get our usual [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost for the right answer. Sweet.
For our day today, we are going to go into MEMENTOS. FIRST though, let's
head into JINBOCHO and buy the next book. You'll really want this one...
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-
��
Speed Reading 12,000 Yen
and buy it! This is our ultimate reward from this bookstore, by
the way! Yes!
.��.
��`��
OK, onto Mementos now! Let's do this! If you wish, you can also visit the
FORTUNE TELLER for the MONEY FORTUNE if you plan on leveling a bit while you
go. In general though, we are going to focus on completing the following
requests. Be SURE to pay attention to the note below as well:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Winners Don't Use Cheats
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Killer Who Cleans Up Trash
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Man of Many Faces and Debts
o REQUEST RECEIVED: A Mother's Aggression
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Shady Deal in the Shadows
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Upstaging the Stage Mother
(-NOTE-) BE SURE you save the "High Counter" Skill Card you get from this
fight. We need it for the STRENGTH CONFIDANT rank up later!
You may as well head ALL the way down to the bottom of the "ADYESHACH" while
you go to Mementos. Feel free to do as much leveling/exploring as you wish.
For reference, I left Mementos at LEVEL 50 (enough to do the next Strength
Persona rank).
Speaking of the Strength Confidant, let's do that in Mementos. As you will

recall, we need a "BUGS with the Samarecarm ability". Bugs is an ADVANCED
fusion of:
o Pixie
o Pisaca
o Hariti
The first two are no problems. You have them already, WAY more than likely.
You can get them from Mementos if needed. For Hariti, you may need to do some
fusion. You can make her with Sandman and Take-Minakata if needed, but just
MAKE SURE she gets Samarecarm at level 41.
If you need to, you can ITEMIZE a Unicorn Persona which gives you the skill
card "Samarecarm".
(-NOTE-) Be SURE you have an EMPRESS Persona after all of this, since we
are using one in a fusion right now. We need it for the Haru
Confidant Link.
Once you have all three, make BUGS and give it the Samerecarm Ability and
then show it to the girls for our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Our next task is to bring them a "Seth with the High Counter ability". We
could do that now actually, but we'd need to be level 51. I'm going to put it
off until the next Palace, give us some time to level. We won't forget about
it. Promise!
MEMENTOS INFILTRATION LOG:

--------------------------
o Defeated Shadow Tsuda o Defeated Shadow Nejima
o Defeated Shadow Akitsu o Reached Togo
o Defeated Shadow Kiritani o Reached Adyeshach
o Found the Area 5 Waiting Room o Found the Area 9 Waiting Room
o Reached the Adyeshach Depths o Defeated Shadow Oda
Once we get back, be sure to REQUEST A MASSAGE FROM KAWAKAMI. You can do
this from the phone, remember. Doing so gives us our night back, so be sure
to do this!
(-NOTE-) If you still need KNOWLEDGE, go get a LUCK reading as we'll get
some knowledge later tonight.
For our evening activity, let's head to KANDA and hang out with Hifumi Togo.
We can advance her now that we've taken care of her mother (be sure you have
a STAR Persona). Agree to hang out with her.
During our talk she'll report on what her mom has done. A change of heart,
huh? Tell her "I'm glad her heart changed" and after that, pick "What're you
talking about?". From here it's just dialog about her upcoming game and her
plans and thoughts of the future. We'll get our rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We will also get a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost (or +2 if you used a boost). That
will be it for today though.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

NOVEMBER 3RD (THURSDAY 11/03)

-----------------------------
No school today? No school today. Huh, ok...
We've got a lot of people we can hang out with today. Shinya, Futaba, Haru...
Lots of choices. I'm going to go with Shinya though, since we just did his
Mementos Mission and he's closest to maxxing out.
Head to the arcades to meet him and agree to hang out. He'll end up telling
us about his mom's change of heart. Tell him "I'm glad to hear that", then
when he asks about losing, tell him "It means you've matured". We'll get a
rank up after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Sweet. After that, pick "He wants to win at all costs" when the pro gamer
comes up. He'll head home soon after that, giving us [_KINDNESS +3_] as a
reward. Not that we need it, right?
We'll be onto the evening after that. We'll get a couple of messages from
Mishima here about the mementos requests we did. Good job! Speaking of Mishima,
let's go hang out with him tonight. He's in Akihabara. Head out there and agree
to hang out.
We'll head to the park with him. Ask him "Did you find your answer?" and
a bit after that, tell him "That was courageous".
He then reflects on his changes and asks one of the more chilling questions
I've heard in the game up to this point... did we steal his heart? Wow... his
insight here. Tell him "Nobody stole your heart" here and listen to the rest
of the dialog before our final rank with Mishima:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SALVATION WISH |
| |
| Allows backup members to earn the same EXP as current |
| party members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse SANDALPHON, the most powerful Persona of the Moon
arcana.
That's all for our day today. Another rank 10 Confidant Link though. Can't
complain about that!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 4TH (FRIDAY 11/04)

---------------------------
Haru will pressure us to go to the Palace today. Bah... tell her to be calm.
We'll get to it. First we have a question in class though:
o QUESTION: Clubs is a club, diamonds is a gem, spades is a sword... So,

what is hearts?
o ANSWER: The Holy Grail.
We get a [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost for this, like usual. After school we'll
get a couple of texts. One from Shinya, who wants to hang out, and another
Palace reminder. Well, you know what I'm going to do!
Yep, let's go get that rank 10 with Shinya! Agree to hang out with him and
we'll soon be at the arcade. After another lesson, tell him "Thanks to my
teacher". We'll get some scenes with the kids Shinya has had problems with
after that.
Once that is done, pic "You made things right" and then "Ask them yourself".
And as you can guess, he already knows. That figures. He's behind us though
and we'll end up with a rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: ODA SPECIAL |
| |
| Allows Joker's gun attacks to ignore resistances and |
| hit the enemy. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse MADA, the most powerful Persona of the Tower
arcana.
We also get a final [_KINDNESS +3_] bump from hanging out with Shinya.
For our evening activity... we're going to stay home and read. This is
really going to help with the reading trophy in the future and there's also
really no body to hang out with tonight. With that said, stay home and read
the "Speed Reading" book we bought recently:
o BOOK PROGRESS: SPEED READING (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) Your reading speed has improved. From now on you can read at
DOUBLE the speed, allowing you to cover twice the material.
This is really going to help out in the future. But for now, the day has
come to an end!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 5TH (SATURDAY 11/05)

-----------------------------
Sweet! We get a seat on the train to school today! Let's go ahead and read
a book. Look at the note below and then make your pick. Personally, I am
going with "Playing the Game".
(-NOTE-) This is a great chance to fill out whatever stat you may be
missing, just pick a book that helps with that stat!
o BOOK PROGRESS: PLAYING THE GAME (COMPLETE!)
We will get a [_CHARM +3_] boost here and will be at school soon.
We ALSO get FREE TIME in class today. Oh wow, our reading is really picking
up in no time, right!? This is just fantastic... I mean... I planned this all
because I'm such a good guide writer... Yeah, that's it...
I'm going to go with reading "Buchiko's Story":
o BOOK PROGRESS: BUCHIKO'S STORY (COMPLETE!)
And done with another book! We'll get a nice [_KINDNESS +3_] boost from
reading this book. Sweet. And we haven't even got to pick an activity to do
today yet!
OK, for our day activity, let's hang out with Futaba (it's been awhile,
plus she messaged us). Go choose to hang out with her and she'll take us
to her room to discuss promise lists some more.
After the story, pick "That must have been a shock". After some more story
(whoa... this got dark in a hurry... that pictures thing is messed up), pick
"You didn't know any better". She'll add on a promise and asks us for our help
so pick "Understood" here and we'll get a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: ACTIVE SUPPORT |
| |
| Moral Support may now Charge or recover SP. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Well, that's a good ability at least! Sweet!
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon after that with a couple of messages. One
from Iawa, wanting to hang out, and a second from Hifumi wanting to hang out.
We are so popular!
Once that is done, take Iawi up on his offer. We haven't talked to him since
we did his mission in mementos. He'll end up telling us what happened after we
did the mission. Tell him "I dunno" and then once he talks about us coming back
to work, pick "I guess I could consider it". Hah. He always likes attitude,
doesn't he? We'll get a rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll also gain [_PROFICIENCY +2_] from helping out Iwai. Very nice.
In bed tonight, we'll gain an invitation from Haru to go to Asakusa. Once

again, I am declining. Mainly because I'm trying to push confidant links over
hanging out. Decline and we'll move onto the next day.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 6TH (SUNDAY 11/06)
---------------------------
Sunday!
It's weird, but we DO get the SHOPPING CHANNEL today! They are selling a
[_HACHIMAN BELT_] for 9,800 Yen today. This thing reduces physical damage
(high). Not bad for the price at all, so feel free to buy it!
Also, be sure to read the note below about the sunday drink!
(-NOTE-) Remember that you can get the "Beauty Aojiru" from the Shibuya
Underground Walkway! If you need CHARM, also get a LUCK FORTUNE
from Shinjuku and THEN buy the drink for a +2 Charm boost. ALSO,
the charm drink).
After that, we need to keep pushing our affinity with Hifumi, so be sure to
head to Shinjuku and get that fortune reading:
OK, after that let's go hang out with Futaba. She'll take us to her room
once again.
Here she'll follow up on her friend Kana and what's become of her... it's,
um... not good. Again with the pictures. Pick "What horrible parents" here
and soon you'll get her parents names, as we need to do something about
this: "Kouta Magario and Asami Magario".
After that, tell her "I'll do it, for you" and soon we'll get our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: TREASURE REBOOT |
| |
| Chance to revive search objects in the area after battle. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Oh, now that sounds helpful. Randomly doubling-up on treasure should net
us some extra money. We formally get the request here as well:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Daughter's Just a Meal Ticket
OK, tonight we could spend time with Iwai, but I'm going to read instead.
BUT FIRST! There are a number of books we can "Read" that will count as
AUTO COMPLETE, so read these five books first:
o BOOK PROGRESS: THEME PARK ESCORT (COMPLETE!)
o BOOK PROGRESS: SHITAMACHI REBORN (COMPLETE!)
o BOOK PROGRESS: MUSTY PAGES (COMPLETE!)
o BOOK PROGRESS: WEEKEND PARKS (COMPLETE!)
o BOOK PROGRESS: NIGHTLIFE HOTSPOTS (COMPLETE!)
And after that, let's read another book tonight. This time, pick "Wise Men's
Words" and we'll read it in one go (got to love that speed reading book!):
o BOOK PROGRESS: WISE MEN'S WORDS (COMPLETE!)
This will result in a [_KNOWLEDGE +3_] boost, which you probably don't need,
but there it is. Our day will end shortly afterwards.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 7TH (MONDAY 11/07)

---------------------------
School will be over very quickly today.
The first thing we should do is head to SHINJUKU and get another Affinity
Reading for Hifumi. This one will pay off today, thankfully:
OK, after that let's go back to school and up to the rooftop so we can hang
out with Haru. Before we hang out with her though, we can start growing a
vegetable here... let's do it, for the heck of it! We get a tutorial here:
TUTORIAL - HARVESTING VEGETABLES:

.-��
|
| Once planted, vegetables will be able to be harvested in a few days.
| The number of days needed for a vegetable to grow depends on species.
| find the answer that matches both the hint and number of spaces.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
I'm personally picking the "Sun Tomato", which has a 11/13 harvest date.
With that planted, let's now hang out with Haru.
(-NOTE-) You need RANK 5 PROFICIENCY (Transcendent) to start hanging out

with Haru. We should have that in spades if you've been following
the guide up to now!
Haru will thank us for helping her and state that she's raising coffee beans
at home. Wow. Ask her "Are you opening a cafe?" here. She'll talk about the
coffee and then switch to trusting people at Okumura Foods. Can't blame her.
Pick "He sounds suspicious" once you get a chance. She'll share her thoughts
after that. Pick "This is a complex issue" for good points and soon we'll get
a rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
For our evening, we'll get a message from Hifumi to come hang out. About
time, right? One of the harder ranks to get to so far. She'll tell us that
she told the media about her mom, but she's still determined.
Tell her to "Give it all you got" and she'll head off to her match...
After it is over, tell her "A very queenly decision" and she'll be happy
that we remembered that phrase. She'll state this is an example of what NOT
to do before we get our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: TOURYOU |
| |
| Decreases turn delay to zero, allowing you to instantly |
| escape battle. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Keep talking with Hifumi and we'll get a warning. "I should be careful about
what I say here...". This isn't the final warning though, so tell her that
"I want to stay by your side". Once you do that, THEN we'll get the final
warning...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "I want us to date" for a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with HIFUMI.
o Choose "We'll be friends forever" for a FRIENDSHIP with HIFUMI.
(-NOTE-) Once again, this is a personal choice. Hifumi definitely has a

charm about her which is quite cute... even if she changes a bit
while playing Shogi. I'm personally going the FRIENDSHIP route
with her though.
That's all for today! Tomorrow will come soon after you've made your choice.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 8TH (TUESDAY 11/08)

----------------------------
We'll get a question in school today:
o QUESTION: Do you know what age you have to be in order to listen in on

a trial?
o ANSWER: Zero.
We'll get our [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] boost after that. Once school is over, let's
go over to SHINJUKU and get an Affinity Reading. This time, let's do it for
our Weapon Dealer:
After that, let's go back to school and hang out with Haru. We'll help out
on the plants once more. On your first reply, pick "It'll be OK, I promise".
She'll change subjects to her fiance soon after that, telling us who the whole
thing started. Pick "I don't want to go with you" and soon the subject will
turn to love.
Well... I wonder if Haru is hinting at something here? Well, DESPITE what

your relationship status may be here, pick "Not yet" for the points. It's a
very innocent compromise! We'll get our rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon after that. We'll also get a text from Iwai
to come over, even though he's not ready for a level up. With that in mind,
I'm going to read tonight as well. I'm going to pick the book "Chinese Sweets"
tonight:
o BOOK PROGRESS: CHINESE SWEETS (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) This will unlock the "China Town" location on the neighborhood
map. Very nice!
It will be bedtime soon after that. Night!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 9TH (WEDNESDAY 11/09)
------------------------------
We get a group text chat at school today. Time is running out. Yes, we are
constantly reminded of this, game!
Let's head over to SHINJUKU and get an Affinity Reading. These last few ranks
are pretty hard to cheese, it seems. We should stick with Iwai though, since
we did him yesterday. Hifumi though...
OK, with that done there's no one that wants to hang out. More specifically,
we need to do a mission for Futaba. This is a good day to head to Mementos,
as we really need to be able to advance Futaba's Confidant Link and there's
nothing (request-wise) soon to group up with it.
With that said, head into Mementos today and take care of Futaba's Request:

--------------------------
o Defeated the Shadow Magarios
Once you are done with that, BE SURE TO CALL AND GET A MASSAGE FROM KAWAKAMI!
This will give us our evening back, which we can use to spend with Hifumi. This
is a rather RARE instance in which we WILL NOT RANK UP.
Instead, take her to the PARK and then say "You use your senses in shogi?"
for the best points you can get. That will be the end of our day, but we are
definitely set up with Futaba and Hifumi in the future!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 10TH (THURSDAY 11/10)

------------------------------
Sweet! We get a seat on the train today! Go ahead and read something. I am
picking "Tokyo Shrines" today:
o BOOK PROGRESS: TOKYO SHRINES (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) This will unlock the "Meiji Shrine" location on the neighborhood
map. Very nice! One step closer to filling out the neighborhood
map completely!
We'll also get a question in school today:
o QUESTION: Do you know what the line that's in "bird" but not in "crow"
represents?
o ANSWER: An eye.
We'll get [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] like usual for a right answer. This was a very
interesting question. Huh... Kawakami is full of interesting info it seems.
We'll be done with school after that. Let's head to SHINJUKU now and get
(or continue) an Affinity Reading for Iwai as well:
After that, let's go hang out with Futaba since we've done here Mementos
Mission. We'll hang out with her in your room as she tells us what has gone
on with her and Kana. Pick "That's incredible" here and after she tells you
of her promise, pick "You worked really hard too". She'll thank us a couple
more times after that and we'll get our rank up:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Getting close to rank 10! Wheee! Futaba will ask for a weird favor after
that, so pick "Fine by me" and enjoy the scene. We'll be onto the evening
after that.
And... bah! No one wants to hang out tonight. We CAN get a question on TV
though, so be sure to check it out:
o QUESTION: Who is considered to hold the most power in this country?
o ANSWER: Me in front of your TV.
Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Sweet. OK, so for tonight
let's get in some more reading since no one wants to hang out. We're going to
get through every book sooner or later! We're getting close! Tonight I am
reading "Museum of Stars":
o BOOK PROGRESS: MUSEUM OF STARS (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) This will unlock the "Ikebukuro" location on the neighborhood map.
Very nice! This reminds me of the anime "Durarara!!".
That's it for today. Onward until tomorrow!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
In school today, Kawakami will give us free time on the sly. Very nice!
Let's go ahead and do some reading. Do "Fishpond Spotter" today:
o BOOK PROGRESS: FISHPOND SPOTTER (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) This will unlock the "Ichigaya" location on the neighborhood map.
Very nice! You may have already done this whole activity if you
have been following the guide, but we need it again because...
(-NOTE-) You will get the "My Backyard" Bronze Trophy for unlocking all of
the hangout spots on the map! Very nice!
OK, once school is done, we get a text from Haru. Let's go ahead and hang
out with her, so accept her text and hang out with her.
She'll take us out for coffee today. Nice. When the price comes up, pick
"That's pricey". She agrees and will offer to order our cup. Pick "Let me
cover the bill". We get our coffee soon afterwards and will enjoy.
Haru will share HOW the coffee is made after that! Ugh! Pick "You mean...
poop!?" after that for some dialog, then Mona will be brought up. Oh wow...
pick "Let's ask him" here for good points. Leblanc's new drink?
We'll then get to meet the new President, who will push Haru a bit before
he leaves us alone, even bringing up the stocks issue (very rude!). When haru
asks about him, pick "I'm not really sure" and we'll get our rank up soon
after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: CELEB TALK |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
OK, so tonight people STILL don't want to hang out. Very lame. We got to do
a couple of things on our own anyways.
OK, for this part you want to SAVE and then we're going to play our VIDEO
GAME SYSTEM. Today, play "Gambla Goemon" and you'll be forced to pick "Odds"
or "Evens". I've always won by picking evens, but that's 2 out of 2 times...
Either way you've SAVED, so you can try again if needed. We'll keep track of
games the same way we keep track of books:
o GAME PROGRESS: GAMBLA GOEMON (1/2 SESSIONS DONE!)
Doing this will also net us [_CHARM +2_]. Sweet. We can buy a new book for
doing this as well, which is good. That's all for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
Ann bugs us about the palace this morning. Tell her to hold her horses and
soon we'll have a question at school today:
o QUESTION: Do you know why hearing someone's voice over the phone
sounds different than their real voice?
o ANSWER: It's heavily processed.
Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Very nice. After school
we will get a couple of texts. One from Yusuke about the palace and the
second from Futaba wanting to hang out!
BEFORE we go hang out with here, let's head to SHINJUKU and buy a new book
from the bookstore here:
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Game Secrets 2,800 Yen
(-NOTE-) This book is available only because we played a video game. We

have one more at this shop, but we'll go get it later...
.��.
��`��
OK, let's go hang out with Futaba now.
Futaba will share her talks with Kana here. Tell her "You've really matured"
here for good points. She will then start talking about how she's been feeling,
and well... love in general. Tell her "Are you OK, Futaba?" and then when the
next thing on the list comes up. Well... go ahead and tell her "No way", as
tough as it is...
After this, we'll hear those familiar words.
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "Because I love you" for a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with FUTABA.
o Choose "Because we're teammates" for a FRIENDSHIP with FUTABA.
(-NOTE-) Once again, this is a personal choice. Futaba is a rough choice

I think. I don't know about most people, but she's a weird mix
of "little sister" and "gamer girl". Eh... either way, I'm
personally going the FRIENDSHIP route with her.
Whatever you do, you will get a rank up with Futaba shortly:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: EMERGENCY SHIFT |
| |
| Chance to swap current party with backups when 2 or more |
| people are KO'd. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
OK, we will be on to our evening shortly afterwards.
We'll get two texts tonight. Iwai AND Hifumi. Those jerks, where were they
last night? Bah, oh well. Let's do Hifumi first since we are close to maxing
our rank with her.
We'll meet up with Hifumi in the church like usual. She'll let us know that
she quit the players association to start fresh as an ameteur. Go ahead and
tell her "You'll triumph in the end" and then after a bit more dialog (some
about us), tell her "I believe in you". We'll get our final rank up after
that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: TOGO SYSTEM |
| |
| Allows you to swap current party with backup members |
| during anyone's turn. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse LUCIFER, the most powerful Persona of the Star
arcana.
Hifumi will then bring up the Phantom Thieves being helped by her lessons.
Pick your response here (I picked "What do you mean?") and then she'll use
her logic on us (logic'd!). Tell her "Thank you" after that and we'll be back
at home soon after.
We get a movie invite from Haru tonight. As usual, be sure to say NO to the
movie invite. We have other things we want to do (even though I really wanted
to go...).
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Today is a bit special. Notably because it is "FLU SEASON". There's a trick

we can do here actually. One that will literally BREAK the game, but we're
going to do it purely for a trophy.
So... with that in mind go ahead and SAVE. Then head to Mementos:
��
TUTORIAL - FLU SEASON:

.-��
|
| On days marked by flu season, the Shadows in Mementos will occasionally
| be in Despair at the start of battle.
|
| Furthermore, some special negotiation options are only available during
| a flu season.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
(-TROPHY TRICK-) Now, we're going to go to MEMENTOS. What you want to do

is head to a lower floor and WAIT AROUND. Wait for about
five minutes or so and you'll soon hear CHAINS rattling.
This is the REAPER BOSS that appears. We want to get into
a fight with him.
Once you do, stop and see if he has the DESPAIR ICON due to
having the FLU. If he does, just wait around for three rounds
and you'll win. If not, run and try again. That easy. Do that
and you'll get the trophy below.
(-NOTE-) You will get the "A Unique Rebel" Silver Trophy for taking down the
optional REAPER Boss. Congrats! Even if it was during flu season...
(-NOTE-) You could do this trick to easily gain levels, as you can tell. I
am just doing it for the trophy though... we aren't going to really
power level in this guide, but I'll point it out right here if you
wish. You could spend any of these "FLU" days just really getting
super high level and then do the rest of the activities I post on
other days.
Once you are done, go ahead and RELOAD so we can do this day like normal
and push on with the actual game (unless you are choosing to use this day to
just massively over-level or something...).
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
OK, onto the "Normal Day". It is Sunday, so we have a few things we can do.
The first is the SHOPPING CHANNEL, which is ready to go. We got SP RECOVERY
items here: [_MYSTERY STEW x20_] for 9,800 Yen. I'm going to buy it (I buy
everything).
Also, be sure to read the note below about the sunday drink!
(-NOTE-) Remember that you can get the "Vitality Aojiru" from the Shibuya
Underground Walkway! If you need PROFICIENCY, also get a LUCK FORTUNE
from Shinjuku and THEN buy the drink for a +2 Proficiency boost. ALSO,
the proficiency drink).
OK, for today we are going to head into NIIJIMA PALACE PROPER. We'll have to
go in a few days in a row, so we better get started on it. First, we should
be prepared, which means a shopping trip!

as you can tell. Note the new REVIVE items above as well... a product
of being RANK 10 with Takemi. They are SPENDY... but worth it. I did
NOT buy any this time though (didn't really need anything). The SAFE
ROOM healing items are awful nice though. Your backup members SP is
likely going to be enough though.
.��.
��`��
NOW, be SURE you get the MONEY READING from the fortune reader (as we're
going to do a lot of fighting, as you can imagine), then meet up with the gang
and infiltrate the Palace!
NIIJIMA'S PALACE
----------------
Well, we've been here before so you know what to expect. We're going to go
gambling! Whee! Read the notes below for some thoughts on this dungeon and
let's continue!
(-NOTE-) Remember to move around your SP items. This is getting more and
more important as our SP costs are rising. With no teammates, this
note is just to make sure you don't forget about them!
(-NOTE-) The "Orlov" TREASURE DEMON in this location is a bit of a pain.

It doesn't really have a weakness to anything, so you'll have to
use critical attacks (Lucky Punch / Miraculous Punch) in order to
kill it. If you see one, be sure to engage so you can either kill
it quickly (lots of EXP/money) or keep it for fusion purposes.
Personally, I vote for the killing it option.
(-NOTE-) As for who to take into this dungeon... Akechi is the flavor of the
month. To be honest, his curse/bless skills are pretty good in this
dungeon so I'd bring him along. Yusuke seems to be targetted alot
here, so I ended up going with Makoto and Ryuji as my second and
third picks...
And now, our objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Casino
CASINO ENTRANCE
---------------
We're back where we first started. Go ahead and enter the casino the same
way we did the first time we were here.
MAIN FLOOR
----------
We'll get a short bit of dialog here as Akechi suggests our plan for us:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Obtain a member's card

We already knew we needed one of these though! Continue jumping over the
gaps like we did before and go through the vent at the end. Jump down to
where the elevator is and kill the enemy patrolling below.

MAIN FLOOR
----------
OK, Persona list out of the way. Note the doors here near where you dropped
down. All locked. There's ledges you can climb up ACROSS the way but it is a
dead end. Head down to the elevator floor and get the [_ORNAMENT_] (there MAY
be two of them... or just one) and then go check out the room to the south for
our very first SAFE ROOM:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: MAIN FLOOR
The "Automatic Doors" to the north are locked too, just FYI. We need to use
the stairs to the south and kill the enemies here. There's also a CHEST in
the southeast corner here with a [_FENG SHUI CHARM_]. Hey, i'm getting a lucky
vibe on this run already!
Head into the door opposite of the chest to continue.
STAFF PASSAGEWAY
----------------
We'll get some dialog here and another objective:
o SUB OBJECTIVE: Find the data terminal
Looks like more computer work for Futaba. That's good! Head through the
door up ahead and kill the enemy to the right (he may be patrolling so be
careful) and go right to find an [_ORNAMENT_] in the dead end.
Head back and go down the other path (the tubes here are... weird...) and
open up the room on the right you find. There's an [_ORNAMENT_] here and
further on is another enemy you can kill off. Do so and continue down the
stairs, going RIGHT first and sliding under the obstacle. This route leads
to a dead-end, but there's a CHEST with a [_HEAVEN RING_] here at least!
This thing reduces bless damage (by a medium amount).
Head back now and continue west this time, opening the door you find and
you'll see we are forced to go south. Do some climbing and continue south,
killing the enemy once you're in the hallway and going south further. We'll
turn west but be careful of another enemy patrolling by the corner coming
up. Don't forget to enter the room on the right for a [_SUITS BOARD_] item
(this is a weird treasure item...) before examining the door leading west.
You'll notice it has a KEYCARD READER by it. Well then...
We have no choice but to go north here. Do so and head east, going into
the door to the south for some [_SEEDY GEAR_] inside a CHEST. Sweet. We need
a laundromat though... Exit and continue north, ignoring the stairs you find
to the left (Note there is an ENEMY guarding these!) and going north to our
second SAFE ROOM:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: STAFF PASSAGEWAY
Be SURE to save here. And consider not bringing Yusuke and Morgana to the
upcoming fight...
Head back outside and to the right you can climb up and use the vent you find
to actually BYPASS the guard up the stairs. We can also go attack them from
behind, which I recommend. Its a Mini Boss, but its honestly fairly easy...
MINI BOSS: MIDNIGHT QUEEN x2
This battle isn't too bad. The Midnight Queens are weak to WIND, so you
can take them down pretty easily (although just strong attacks in general
will take them down quickly too). They will attack with hit-all lightning
attacks and single fire attacks, so Yusuke and Morgana may want to sit this
one out.
After the battle, you'll get the [_SECURITY KEYCARD_] key item though, so
that's awful nice! We can USE this item now actually. Head back to the BARRED
DOOR and you can use the keycard to open it. Inside is an [_ORNAMENT_] and a
[_SUITS BOARD_]. Sweet.
Go back to where the Mini Boss was and go north to the next room. If you
continue on here, you'll see posted guards. Instead of fighting them, we can
use our keycard to open the door nearby and then use the vent we find to head
to the CONTROL ROOM. Sweet.
We still have to fight the guard here...
MINI BOSS: AUSPICIOUS PACHYDERM
OK, truth time. This boss didn't get a move off against me. Crazy, right?
I got a bullet hail move which put him at half health, and then guessed his
weakness on the first move (he is weak to PSYCHIC moves, by the way). Then
after an all-out attack it was over. Well then!
So um... I guess just use Psychic Moves on him and take him out! This "boss"
feels like one of those bosses that is going to turn into a regular enemy
later on in the dungeon... We'll have to level up a bit to recruit him though!
After the fight, we'll get the [_MEMBER'S CARD_] for the elevator (with a
second card...) and the [_CASINO MAP_]. There's a scene here about Akechi
taking the second card too. Suspicious... Let's check out the objectives here
though and totally forget about suspicious things!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Pursue Shadow Sae
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Take the elevator up
Exit out the main doors if you wish (to the south) for the map completion
(the guards posted earlier are GONE for some reason... slackers) and then go
back and take the northeast vent. You'll unlock the door to the south in here
after nabbing the [_SUITS BOARD_]. Take out the patrolling guard and continue
to the south (past the door for now) to a dead end with an [_ORNAMENT_].
Now go back and open that door. It's... humans!? Casino Guards! Well, they
are trying to target people, anyways. We don't want to get caught, so lets
leave them alone. Head north and east now into the next big room to the east.
There's an enemy in here but not much else... despite the room to the north.
Lots of room for nothing.
Continue to the east and use the stairs nearby but look around the corner
to see another guard patrolling. He'll come up here soon if you let him,
but this is another big room with little in it. While we're here though,
lets check out the southwest room for a [_SUITS BOARD_] before going east
and unlocking the door to the next area.
MAIN FLOOR
----------
And by "next area" I of course mean shortcut to previous area. This is the
door that was locked up above the hall. Easy to make your way back to the
elevator from here (you may as well SAVE at the safe room on the way). Use
the elevator now for a scene and soon we'll be in new area.
MEMBERS FLOOR LOBBY

-------------------
Oh well... damn. We have to WIN "the right to head up". This isn't good, is
it. Well... gambling may be a change of pace...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Check the Members Floor
To the right you can find [_ORNAMENT x2_], then in the middle of this area
you can find another [_ORNAMENT_] and a Safe Room. Enter it and SAVE:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: MEMBERS FLOOR
OK, now that we've "explored" go talk to the man at the counter to the
south. He'll explain what we have to do, as well as giving us 1,000 COINS
and the [_MEMBERS FLOOR MAP_]. We'll get some scenes here with Akechi as
well, but over all it sounds like it is gambling time...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Earn 50,000 Coins
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Play the dice game to earn coins
Well... let's go ahead and head towards the dice area. Nab the [_PRESENT BOX_]
near the door for 100 coins and enter...
DICE GAME AREA

--------------
OK, Dice Game! Head forward for another [_PRESENT BOX_] with 200 coins and
then hang a right. The lobby you come to has a WHOPPING [_ORNAMENT x3_] in
it and another [_PRESENT BOX_] with 200 coins.
OK, you can play some games here if you want... but as Akechi was telling
us these games are very much rigged. No "chance" here. So once you are done
playing, head to the entrance and go NORTH. There's an [_ORNAMENT_] here but
more importantly a VENT. Head into it and continue on to reach a new (old)
area...
STAFF PASSAGEWAY
----------------
Well then... back here, but this area looks new. Exit the vent and head
north. Huh, the northern area is already filled in? Kill the enemy here and
note that you can go to the WEST and jump over some machines to get to the
west side. There's another enemy over here. Check out the west hallway after
you take him out as the south dead end has an [_ORNAMENT_]. This hallway just
loops around to the northern area. Check out the center room before you head
north though for a CHEST with a [_BLACK ROBE_].
Head north now and make your way for the stairs up there. There's an enemy
up here patrolling around, so be ready for it. There's a room to the north
up here that has an [_ORNAMENT_] and [SUITS BOARD_]. Head down the stairs
now and to the BIG ROOM.
There are two shadows here you can take out. The first one will come to us
if you wait, and the second one you can get further on. Once you take them
out we'll have to choose to either go up the stairs or down the left/west
hallway.
Let's head up first. There's a dead end here to the left that you can get
a [_SUITS BOARD_] from, then head down the hallway, killing the patrolling
enemy you find. Continue on to find an [_ORNAMENT_] and then you'll head
downstairs. We are right where the path split was! Whee! It all works out in
the end, right?
Head south now, killing the enemy you find and then checking the room (the
one to the south) for a SAFE ROOM:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: DICE GAME AREA
Nice! SAVE and let's continue. To the right is another room you can enter
with an [_ORNAMENT_], then head south. Enter the next room and continue down
the hallway. There's an enemy patrolling nearby and another [_ORNAMENT_], so
get them both before the corner for another enemy. The northern door here is
locked from the outside... maybe there's another way? There should be another
[_ORNAMENT_] to the far west dead end as well.
Nab it and head north, checking the hallway to the right. Sure enough, there
is a vent here we can use to access the room from earlier which has a CHEST
in it with a [_PARRYING DAGGER_]. Sweet. A nice upgrade for our main character
if you need it!
Unlock the door now and continue to the north, taking the northern door up
here to reach a new area:
DICE GAME AREA

--------------
Well... we are BEHIND the dice rooms. Sweet. To the right you can find a
[_SUITS BOARD_] and to the left [_ORNAMENT x2_]. There's also a door you
can unlock that leads to the dice games, which you may as well do.
OK, next up check the area BEHIND the dice games. They are rigging them
here, so let's heal up (go save if you want to be EXTRA safe) and take on
the mini boss here:
MINI BOSS: WANDERING REVIVER
This boss is a bit harder than the scrubs we've been fighting. Still, she
is pretty easy when you use a guide! Hehehe... no mercy! This reviver is weak
to BLESS and WIND attacks. Use that knowledge to really take her down fast.
For her part, she will use "Brain Jack" in order to try and confuse your whole
team (which can always end up badly, randomly of course) and can also take down
your defense as well as use hit-all fire moves (so again, Yusuke isn't the best
choice during this fight). Take her out to continue.
Once she is down we'll have a few scenes with Akechi and Futaba. Futaba will
"even the odds" here and rig one of the dice rooms. We can go use it now to
bet from "11-18" which nets us the biggest payout (625 Coins). Do that four
times in a row for the most coins you can. After that, try to leave for another
scene. We'll get another 3,000 Coins after this scene. Way to go, Akechi!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Play the slots to earn coins
We may as well continue on. The dice is chump change... head back to the
members floor and SAVE up in the safe room.
MEMBERS FLOOR
-------------
Head to the Safe Room and save. Also, you can check with the dealer here
to buy a "Soma" and "Bead" for relatively low chips. I'd buy both of them,
as they are great items.
Let's head for the slots area now. Grab the [_PRESENT BOX_] here for 100
coins and enter.
SLOT ROOM
---------
Well, welcome to the slot room! How about a boss fight!
MINI BOSS: LIFE-DRAINING SPIRIT x2
These enemies may remind you of some we've already fought in the past (the
Kumbhanda enemies). They aren't too hard thankfully, and are weak to NUKE
attacks. They also try to put RAGE on everyone. Fun. Just don't hit them
with CURSE or FIRE and you'll be ok, especially if you hit them with nuke
attacks!
After it is dead, we'll get a scene. Our party deduces these slots aren't
even worth hitting up. Smart.... let's look for the big pay-off ones and
then hack THAT one. Hit up the [_PRESENT BOX_] for 200 coins and then check
the LEFT WALL (the northern one) to find a CONSOLE. We'll be doing something
with this later, so take note of it for now (REMINDER 1/2). After that, go
kill the enemy up ahead. Continue to the west and you'll see a path split.
Hmmm... should we take the stairs, go west, or go north?
Well, let's go north through the door first. Take out the enemy up ahead
and get the [_ORNAMENT_]. Continue up the stairs and kill the enemy up here.
The door up here is a guard / betting supervisor room. You can open it to fill
out the map, but we'll leave them alone.
Continue to the south and then go east down the stairs. STOP at the bottom
and look to the left for another [_ORNAMENT_] and then continue to the room
up ahead to find a TERMINAL. There's nothing we can do with it right now, but
as Akechi says, keep this room in mind.
Head back up the stairs and go straight (west). We can jump down here to one
of the other areas. May as well. Head to the north once you jump down (you'll
need to jump over some boxes) to find a CHEST with some [_SMOKESTAINED ARMOR_]
in it (another laundry day...). There's a TERMINAL here as well. Just make note
of it like the other one but we're putting a special reminder here for the
future! Ahem... (REMINDER 2/2)!
Continue on west through the door and kill the enemy. Up north is a door to
the left (ignore it for now) and some stairs to the right (ignore that too).
Keep going north instead for an [_ORNAMENT_] and go inspect the door here.
There is a TERMINAL here as well as a console you can use to open this door
and make a pathway to a previous area. Sweet.
Let's go up the stairs now. The ones nearby, to the north. These merely loop
around (like some previous stairs), but you can find [_ORNAMENT x4_] as you go
up and through them, but beware of the enemy up here patrolling (very much worth
the trouble of another fight!).
Continue to the WEST door to continue to the next area...
SLOT ROOM 2
-----------
Well, this room has the same name as the last room. Let's put a "2" on there!
The first thing you'll notice in this room (thanks to the scene) is the GIANT
SLOT MACHINE.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Check the giant slot machine
We've got to take care of some pests first though! Walking around down in the
slot area are two enemies. Take them out one by one here to make this area
safe. There's an [_ORNAMENT_] on the right-hand side as well as [_ORNAMENT x2_]
on the left-hand side.
Once you have those items, head up and inspect the slot machine. We'll get a
short scene here about the odds and payouts of this slot machine. 50,000 COINS!
This one slot can be our ticket out of here! We need to get it in our favor
though:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the slot control terminal
Head up to the top area now. Kill the enemy patrolling up here and get the
[_ORNAMENT_] to the south. There is also a narrow LEDGE to the south you can
climb up to for a CHEST with a [_GHILLIE VEST_] in it. Sneaky! This thing has
a bit of sub-par defense and evasion, but has Evade phsyical (low). Not really
worth it in my opinion.
Now, the console we need is to the north, up on another narrow ledge! Climb
up it and have a look for a scene here and a new objective afterward:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the red and green panels
OK, well, this should be fun. To make this easier, you can look above and
find the "REMINDER" tags. That should make this very easy. The RED Terminal
is at the start of the SLOTS ROOM, on the north wall, while the GREEN one
is down in the PASSAGEWAY-LOOKING area. We had to cross boxes to get to a
chest where this terminal is, remember? Right. Go hit both of them now and
we'll get a new objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Beat the giant slot machine
Well... our odds aren't the best here, huh? Go ahead and SAVE, then go use
the giant slot machine. Odds are in your favor that you'll hit the MAJOR
jackpot and get 50,000 coins. Go ahead and use it and watch the scenes that
follow.
Go back and save again (if you wish... you should!) and then take on the
shadow guarding our way out. I guess Sae isn't too happy with us!
MINI BOSS: FINAL MEASURER
This thing looks like "Norn" from previous games. It probably is in this
game too, I just haven't encountered it yet. Even though it just looks...
so awesome... this boss is fairly weak. It sort-of makes up for that with
its abilities though. For starters, it has no specific weakness, but DO NOT
use WIND attacks on him (as he absorbs wind).
For his part, the Final Measurer will increase his defense (with Rakukaja),
use Garudyne (a clue not to use wind attacks) and when low on health he may
just heal himself to full. He takes good damage though, so up your attack
and get him to about half health, then just go all-out with everyone and
you'll take this boss down.
OK, with that guy out of the way, head to the elevator and go to the new
floor.
HIGH LIMIT FLOOR

----------------
We'll get a scene once we arrive at this floor. It uh... it seems we are
NOT welcome here. We can't fight or force or way in either, apparently
(well, I GUESS so...). We have no choice but to come back another day. At
least Akechi has an idea on how to fix this...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Change Sae's Cognition
Go ahead and leave the palace now. Our infiltration log:
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Found a Safe Room o Infiltrated Staff Passageway
o Found a Safe Room o Neutralized the Control Room
o Obtained a Member's Card o Infiltrated the Members Floor
o Found a Safe Room o Infiltrated the Dice Game area
o Found a Safe Room o Disabled the Dice Game Cheat
o Gained Coins with the Dice Game o Infiltrated the Slot Room
o Disabled the Slot Machine Cheat o Won a lot of coins from the Slots
o Acquired 50,000 Coins o Obtained the High Limit Card
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
Once you get back to Leblanc's, go ahead and CALL KAWAKAMI for a MASSAGE
(after the text message of course). This will give us our evening back, which
is awful nice. I'm personally going to go also do some LAUNDRY. Hehehe... I'm
really working Kawakami!
Next up, I'm heading to the Airsoft Shop and spending time with Iwai. He will
be ready for a rank up.
We'll be helping out in the shop. Tsuda will come up of course, so ask him
"Are you sure he's still alive?" when you get a chance. We will (Iwai will)
get a really bad phone call soon after that though. Ask "Who's Masa?" and
then "We should hurry" and we'll lock up shop.
Oh wow, at knife-point. This Masa guy really is a piece of shit, huh? Ask
"What's your goal here, Masa?" and after the negotiation starts go ahead and
pick "You need to trust your son". Watch what happens after that. We're...
kind-of saved by a deus-ex machina here.
Oh well. Pick "Kaoru is really strong-willed" next and we'll get our rank
up soon after that. Man, a Palace Run and a rank up in one day. Got to love
Kawakami!

We'll enjoy a meal afterwards and get our laundry back. Soon the day will
be over. Onto the next!

NOVEMBER 14TH (MONDAY 11/14)

----------------------------
Today we'll get a seat on the train! Sweet! Let's read one of our newer
books, "Game Secrets":
o BOOK PROGRESS: GAME SECRETS (COMPLETE!)
OK, after that we'll get a scene of the team attending a trial at the
courthouse. This is all to change Sae's cognition. Watch the scene and soon
she'll see us. No real interaction, but hopefully that's enough?
We'll be back at the NIIJIMA PALACE soon after that!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Check the change in cognition
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the high limit floor
Go ahead and head to the High Limit Floor (I'd visit the Dice Area to get
the free loot, by the way). Head to the floor and you'll get a scene. We'll
be able to freely explore soon after that. But FIRST!
(-NOTE-) This list has THREE NEW ENEMIES in it!

HIGH LIMIT FLOOR

----------------
Our objectives here:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the manager's floor
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Investigate the high limit floor
The first thing we should do here is go NORTH and hit up the SAFE ROOM that
is nearby:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: High Limit Floor
After that, we should probably go to the counter and talk to the attendant,
but there's also [_ORNAMENT x2_] down to the south here. Gather them up and
go talk to the shadow at the counter. He'll give us 1,000 Coins as well as
the [_HIGH LIMIT FLOOR MAP_]. You can also nab the presents to the left and
right for 250 coins each.
Well... let's go examine the door the shadow mentioned, up the stairs to the
the south. We've got to investigate a bit more.
Head through the upper door now and to the right is an [_ORNAMENT_], while
the left has a LOCKED CHEST. Open it (thank you Eternal Lockpick!) for a
[_BEAD CHAIN_] and a [_SAPPHIRE_]. After that, go to the north and we'll get
a small scene. Check the CONSOLE nearby after that and we'll learn what we
need to do here...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Earn 100,000 Coins
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find a way to earn coins fast
Oh man! We need to get 100,000 Coins to continue? This is going to be a bit

of a slog, it seems. At least this is the high limit floor!
Let's head back a room and investigate further. There's two more rooms we can
check out. To the East is the "Battle Arena" and to the west is "The House of
Darkness". We're supposed to go there first, but let's go to the Battle Arena
and get some loot:
BATTLE ARENA
------------
Nab the [_ORNAMENT_] to the right and head down. We'll be told that the cost
to participate here is 10,000 Coins! Yikes! Well... we can't do this right
now, but there ARE [_ORNAMENT x3_] down in this area. Very, very nice! Grab
them all and then visit the nearby Safe Room to unlock it.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Battle Arena
With the loot and safe room unlocked, head back to the previous area now and
go check out the "House of Darkness" to continue.
HOUSE OF DARKNESS
-----------------
We'll get a scene here. Sounds like this is a maze and we are the rats. Fun.
This entry is going to cost us 1,000 Coins to do. Decline for now and check
out the room to the south to unlock a new Safe Room:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: House of Darkness
OK, let's go ahead and pay to do the maze. Pay 1,000 Coins and in we go.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Finish the maze
There is an [_ORNAMENT_] right in front of us. Nab it and head forward. Now,
while this place is DARK it is NOT much of a maze. The path is linear, but
still, be sure to use THIRD EYE to light up the area and look for enemies
around the corners. There are TWO enemies before the "Dead End" in this area,
so take them both out and get to the end.
"The End" is a dead end with a glowing vent and a locked door. You can try
to get through the door for some dialog. There is also a nearby [_ORNAMENT_]
we should nab. There's some people here too. Huh.
Well, go ahead and use the vent here and we'll be on a ledge shortly. Jump
down and note the DOOR and path nearby. Nab the [_ORNAMENT_] here and go
through the door (it leads to a dead end). This door leads to a hallway with
a linear path and two roaming enemies. Kill them both and head to the end for
a CHEST with a [_FORTRESS BELT_] in it. This thing increases your endurance,
by the way.
Head back and left to the only other path. There's a roaming enemy around
here, so be sure to kill him. There's also a small hallway to the left (it
has flashing blue lights). Be sure to head down it (it is short) for an
[_ORNAMENT_] and open the door for a CHEST with a [_BALM OF LIFE_] in it.
Continue on now and through a door, then kill another enemy. Continue on
to a room that appears to be a dead end. Locked door, ect... but there's an
object we can jump up to that leads to another vent. Crawl through it and
kill the shadow, nab a nearby [_ORNAMENT_] and exit the door to see light
once more!
Beautiful, beautiful light! There's another [_ORNAMENT_] up ahead. Grab it
and head down the stairs to a CHEST for a [_MOROSE COLLAR_], a [_TOPAZ_] and
a [_MAGIC OINTMENT_]. We're supposed to go into the center door here, but
first go down the other steps for another [_ORNAMENT_]. The door down here
leads to the dark room again, so go through the center door to proceed.
HOUSE OF DARKNESS 2
-------------------
We'll get a scene here with the counter attendant. What!? What a jerk! We
will have to find a way around...
Well, try the left door here to find it is locked. Thankfully there is
another vent to the left. Use it to enter a solitary room with an [_ORNAMENT_]
and a door. Watch yourself here: there's a shadow patrolling outside. Time it
right and kill him. Head LEFT here first to the locked door for an [_ORNAMENT_]
then head back.
There's a ledge you can drop down here but take the DOOR nearby instead. The
reason for this is they both lead to the lower area but the door path has an
[_ORNAMENT_] in the way. There's a shadow patrolling near the stairs though.
Take him out and continue north to another [_ORNAMENT_]. There's an area to the
left you can climb up, but go RIGHT instead for another [_ORNAMENT_] and kill
the guards in the way as we use the stairs.
At the top is a LOCKED CHEST. Open it up for some [_SOMA_] and a [_SAPPHIRE_]
then continue south. We're out in the hallway now past the wall of cards. Very
nice! We can put them up by using the console nearby, then nab the [_ORNAMENT_]
and continue. This next area has the attendant further in but BEFORE you go
fight him, look to the left and right for [_ORNAMENT x2_] and go check out the
door nearby for a SAFE ROOM:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Darkness Goal Area
Be sure to SAVE and heal up. Make sure you aren't weak to LIGHTNING while
you are at it, then go back and take on the mini boss:
MINI BOSS: SNAKE KING
This snake king is pretty easy once you know what's coming. He uses a LOT
of Lightning attacks in the beginning. Hit-all and Single-Target lightning
attacks. One reason I mentioned not to bring anyone weak to lightning. Once
the boss gets low on health, it will start using the "Concentrate" skill to
power up its attack and then attack on the next round. Make sure you heal
up or guard after he uses Concentrate. Unless he is close to death that is,
then just lay into him to finish the fight off.
We'll get our 10,000 Coins after the fight. You should also REFUSE to warp
back to the main lobby as you can find an [_ORNAMENT_] nearby. Plus it is
super easy to use the Safe Room to warp back.
Speaking of the main lobby, warp back to it and check out the counter shop
here in order to see what you can buy:
HIGH LIMIT FLOOR SHOP
o Golden Beam 1,200 Coins

o Tyche Charm 400 Coins
o Despair Charm 400 Coins
(-NOTE-) Buy what you wish, but BE SURE you have 10,000 coins left at least!
Once you are done with that, we need to head to the Battle Arena to continue.
They aren't going to make this easy...
BATTLE ARENA
------------
Now that we have 10,000 Coins, we'll have to wager it all on some "1 vs 1"
fights. There's some scenes here but the team will eventually decide that
Joker should be the one to do the fighting. Can't argue that! Before you
agree to fight, make SURE you have a good PSYCHIC skill, a good BLESS skill
and a Persona strong against lightning (preferably one with CHARGE/CONCENTRATE).
OK, go ahead and get in the arena!
ROUND 1: Auspicious Pachyderm x2
For this battle you want to use PSYCHIC attacks. Psiodyne should kill each
of these elephants in two hits each and they won't even get a chance to hit
you. If you don't have that, use lower level psychic attacks and heal before
taking out the last one if needed.
ROUND 2: Dancing Witch x3
Well, so much for 1 v 1. We've got three of them! Use BLESS skills here to
take them out. At level 54 I was able to use the mid-tier bless skills and
kill them in one hit, so two hits should be easy. On to the next round!
ROUND 3: Thunder Emperor
We're fighting THOR now. This isn't good! Be sure you use a persona that
is strong or blocks lightning (Ryuji would be helpful right now!). I used
"Belphegor" and then used "Concentrate" and Bufula to bring Thor down. He
will often CHARGE up, then waste a turn "glaring" at us, then use either a
strong physical attack or perhaps Ziodyne. Either way, GUARD when he glares
at you to negate the damage (mostly...) and the keep on the attack after
that, healing when required to take him out.
After the battles the announcer will begrudgingly give us our reward. A
whopping 100,000 coins! Sweet!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Level the scale bridge

Well, let's go ahead and head to the scale bridge. You'll get some scenes
here where Sae will change the rules once again. Gah... Thankfully Akechi has
our backs. Watch the scenes and then interact with the console to lower the
bridge and make it to the Manager's Area...
MANAGER'S AREA
--------------
Head forward here and watch the scenes. The treasure is clearly in our grasp
now, so our job is done. We need to leave and send out the calling card. When
they give you the chance to go back to the entrance, take it as this area has
nothing of interest for us.
BEFORE we leave, let's do the final rank of the Strength Confidant. We should
be able to do it once we're past level 51, which I would think you are at this
point in time.
As you'll recall, we need a "Seth with the High Counter ability". Seth is an
ADVANCED FUSION, which means you'll need:
o Isis
o Thoth
o Anubis
o Horus
MOST of these came from FUTABA's PALACE. The only one that you likely
still need is Horus. In order to get Horus there's a couple of combinations
you can do to get him. The one I used was Pale Rider x Belphegor (although
I've read Bugs x Anubis as well).
Once you've got all four of these, go ahead and make Seth. Then, give him
the "High Counter" ability with the card we got from the "The Killer Who Cleans
Up Trash" quest from mementos. Do that and then show the Twin Wardens your work
in order to get the next rank up (after a bunch of dialog of course):
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SPECIAL TREATMENT |
| |
| Allows you to pay to create Personas of a higher level. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse ZAOU-GONGEN, the most powerful Persona of the
STRENGTH Arcana.
Also, make sure you have an EMPRESS PERSONA on hand for our rank ups with
Haru, which we'll be doing soon!
And... that's it. There's no more tasks for us! Rank 10! Congrats. Now we
are free to leave the Palace, which leads me to our Infiltration Log:
INFILTRATION LOG:
-----------------
o Unlocked the cognitive lock o Infiltrated the High Limit floor
o Found a Safe Room o Found a Safe Room
o Got through the Dark Zone o Found a Safe Room
o Completed the Maze o Found a Safe Room
o Became Champion of the Arena o Acquired 100,000 Coins
o Moved the Scale Bridge o Infiltrated the Manager's Area
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon with our new objective:
Be sure to get a MASSAGE from KAWAKAMI tonight so we can do something after.
For our night time activity, I had Kawakami help me with a load of laundry
and then I went to ICHIGAYA to fish. Now, if you've been following this guide
up to now, you've already done this fishing trophy. BUT! We need to go once
so we can buy a BOOK on fishing. For our reading trophy!
You may as well try to fish well. Get enough points to buy the [_CASUAL ROD_]
at the very least. May help you out if you decide to do the fishing trophy in
the future.
TUTORIAL - USING THE FISHING POND:

.-��
|
| Fishing will cause time to pass, but the points you gain from catching
| fish can be exchanged for prizes. Your PROFICIENCY will also improve.
|
| The fish caught are scored on their size and species. Reel in larger
| and rarer fish for more points.
|
| As your Proficiency increases, the number of times you can fish per
| visit will increase as well. Try to increase you Proficiency accordingly.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - FISHING CONTROLS PART 1:

.-��
|
| Using the left stick, choose the direction you want and then press the
| X Button to cast your line.
|
| How far the line goes depends on the power gauge. Try to press the X
| Button at the correct time to land your bait in front of a fish.
|
| Once you've cast your line, wait for the fish to take the bait. You can
| redo your cast and reselect your bait by pressing the O Button.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
TUTORIAL - FISHING CONTROLS PART 2:

.-��
|
| Press the X Button when a fish bites to hook the fish before it escapes.
|
| Move the bobber icon with the left stick to the red zone and rapidly
| press the X Button to reel it in. Try to avoid reeling outside of the
| red zone.
|
| The fishing rod has a set amount of durability. If the bobber hits the
| gauge walls too often, the line will break and the fish will escape.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Just fish as much as you want and leave for the night. Soon our day will be
over.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

-----------------------------
We'll get a question in school today:
o QUESTION: When he was executed, something was done to his appearance.

Do you know what it was?
o ANSWER: They put makeup on him.

Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. You may also be bothered
to send out the CALLING CARD, but just note that if you try to, Akechi WILL
NOT LET US until November 18th... so we have a few days we need to wait.
Now that school is done, head to the bookstore in SHINJUKU and buy the new
book here:
.��.
`��
-$- BOOKS -$-

��
Essence of Fishing 2,800 Yen
(-NOTE-) This book is available only because we went fishing yesterday.

This is also the LAST book this shop will sell. Nice!
.��.
��`��
Good, we are set up for the book-reading trophy.
(-NOTE-) This is a good day to make sure you have the "Drink Fanatic" TROPHY
as well. Check the Trophy Guide down below for an in-depth look at
what you need to get it.
Also, if you don't do much "Gallows Execution", make sure you save
and go try it for the "Atop Countless Sacrifices" trophy. The same
with the Electric Chair (Itemize) execution. Save and do both just
for the trophies. You can reload afterwards if you wish.
(-NOTE-) You can also check up on HARU and the VEGETABLES today. You can
harvest whatever you planted earlier and plant something new.
Your call!
OK, for our evening activity let's go ahead and read in the Academy Library.
I read "Flowerpedia" today:
o BOOK PROGRESS: FLOWERPEDIA (COMPLETE!)
After that we'll be back at Leblanc's. Note that you can give your PLANT
some "MEGA FERTILIZER" today and get [_KINDNESS +3_]... not that you need
to at this point, I would bet.
(-NOTE-) This is also a good time to SAVE and MAKE TOOLS. You should likely
have enough to make one of each item. Personally, I only needed to
make a "Reserve Ammo", a "Goho-M" (even if you have some of these,
remember you were GIVEN some!), a "Limelight" and a "Megido Bomb".+
All of this is for the "Craftworker" Bronze Trophy!
For our REAL evening activity, let's SAVE and then play "Gambla Goemon".
I once again picked EVEN for every choice. You can also choose to use the
game cheats if you want. Whatever it takes to win!
o GAME PROGRESS: GAMBLA GOEMON (COMPLETE!)
We will get [_CHARM +2_] for winning and the [_GAMBLING CARD_]. We can use
that later. But for now, we'll have to go to bed.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------------
The teacher will be distracted by Kawakami today, which gives us some time
to read in class! Sweet! Let's read "Batting Science" today:
o BOOK PROGRESS: BATTING SCIENCE (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) Today's day activity is good "Catch up" time if you need it. The
GYM ACTIVITY down below is 100% un-necessary. Play catch up with
something else if you need to!
Today for our day activity I decided to try something different. I went to
the GYM at SHIBUYA (after buying some "Moist Protein" at the upper left shot
on Central Street. This gave me a tutorial:
TUTORIAL - GOING TO THE GYM:

.-��
|
| Going to the gym will cause time to pass, but will raise your max
| HP and SP.
|
| The more you go to the gym, the greater the effect will be. Check
| your schedule and use the gym wisely.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Go ahead and drink the "Moist Protein" and work out. You will do... poorly,
but will gain [_HP MAX +6_] and [_SP MAX +4_]. Not bad for our first trip!
Back at Leblanc's and STILL unable to go see Iwai. Grrr...

Well, let's play a video game today then. This time pick "Star Forneus",
a retro space shooter. Go ahead and play it. Use cheats if you wish. We need
to mash the X Button for this game, which isn't hard to do.
o GAME PROGRESS: STAR FORNEUS (1/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We'll get [_GUTS +2_] for beating the level. Fun! It'll be bed time soon!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
Oh, we get a seat on the train today! Sweet! Let's read the "Essence of
Fishing" book we have:
o BOOK PROGRESS: ESSENCE OF FISHING (COMPLETE!)
o QUESTION: Which of these is called a cochleoid, after its resemblance

to a snail?
o ANSWER: B.
Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Once school is over with
we'll find... that once again no one is ready to hang out. This is getting a
bit tedious! He can get a trophy today though! Go ahead and read in the school
library today. The only book we have left!
o BOOK PROGRESS: CINEMA TREASURES (COMPLETE!)
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Bookworm" Bronze Trophy for reading all of the
books in the game. Congrats!
For our evening we once again have no one to hang out with, so let's push
our video game playing and play "Star Forneus" once again. Use cheats if you
wish and jam the "X" Button when needed to get through it:
o GAME PROGRESS: STAR FORNEUS (2/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We'll get [_GUTS +2_] for beating the level, just like last time. It will
be bed time soon!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
----------------------------
o QUESTION: At which of these locations can you see the sunrise the
earliest?
o ANSWER: The summit of Mt. Fuji.
Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. After school we will
automatically have a team meeting and send out the calling card. Plenty of
dialog here. But later on we'll get a scene with Makoto and Sae regarding
the calling card.
For our evening we may as well craft. I chose to make element and forces
sets. Very handy when trying to find out enemy weaknesses since they do so
little damage. You'll gain proficiency as well, although you likely don't
need it.
(-NOTE-) If you somehow DO need it, remember that you can SAVE and do
crafting until you get the [_PROFICIENCY +3_] bonus.
That's all we really have for today. Tomorrow will be very eventful though,
don't worry! Bed for now though!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
Today's the day we'll steal Sae's heart. We'll meet up as a team and that
awesome music will start to play. Get through the dialog and soon we'll be
in the Palace:
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Sae Niijima's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Steal the Materialized Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Manager's Floor
Before you go to the Boss Fight / Manager's Area, you can spend some time
gathering up treasure around the stage. The Dice Area in particular. I tried
to go to the Battle Area as well, but those treasures were gone.
As far as who to take into the fight... it surprisingly doesn't really
matter. The upcoming boss does no elemental attacks at all. It WOULD be a
good idea to have someone who can heal everyone (Mediarama) and have a way
to debuff the boss as well (remove stat buffs, that is... very important).
Once you are ready, head to the Manager's Floor and watch the scenes. We
will get into a boss fight soon enough as you chase down the treasure. We
need to help Sae!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: SAE LEVIATHAN NIIJIMA ~ |
| �� |
| |
| Niijima isn't about to let us fight a fair battle. Instead, we find |
| ourself on a giant Roulette Table. Go ahead and attack if you wish, |
| but this first part of the boss fight is a set-up. Just attack until |
| Sae starts a game of roulette and then DO NOT attack anymore (if you |
| do attack, you'll lose all but 1 HP). Use any and all FUTURE Roulette |
| time to buff up, by the way! When betting time comes, bet however you |
| wish. The game is indeed rigged, by the way. We'll lose and Niijima will |
| gain her HP back. However, when you are asked if you noticed anything, |
| say "I certainly Have" and then "There's a Glass Lid". |
| |
| Send someone to go shoot out the glass on the next roulette game. |
| I sent Akechi. Just buff up when the game starts and your person will |
| automatically break the glass, letting you win... |
| |
| |
| THIS is when things get serious! The boss will change into combat |
| mode and we'll finally have a straight-up fight. Now, this boss has |
| high defense and HP, so it is going to take awhile to take out. As you |
| may have guessed, this boss has NO elemental weakness so we're not going |
| to be doing any all-out attacks. It's also worth noting that the boss |
| itself isn't going to use ANY elemental moves or magic at all, which is |
| crazy. Sae will instead use almighty damage, as well as various physical |
| and gun attacks. She is also very fond of buffing herself up as well as |
| removing your buffs. |
| |
| Read up on Sae's moves below of course (like normal), but this fight |
| is all about out-lasting her. Using buffs in this fight is paramount, |
| so make sure Joker can put Attack Up on everyone. I would also bring in |
| Makoto as she can put DEFENSE UP on everyone and heal everyone. She can |
| be our dedicated support. |
| |
| With that in mind, the other two members should be heavy damage |
| dealers. Ryuji seems like a no-brainer. The fourth party member is |
| really up to you. I went with Akechi. Yusuke would be a good choice |
| as well though. So keep healed and buffed with Makoto and Joker, and |
| then use the other two members to lay on the damage. Every now and |
| again you'll want to de-buff Sae, so keep that in mind as well (try |
| and have Joker be able to do it with a Persona, or bring in Ann). |
| |
| Throughout the fight you'll also have more Roulette Time. It is very |
| much up to you how you bet. I actually went safe on the SP prize and |
| near the end of the fight I went risky (and won!) on an ATK boost. |
| Still... it's a gamble, so its ultimately up to you. |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Roulette Time: This is the "game" Sae plays with you that I described |
| up above. It is very much against you at the start until you break |
| it, then it is up to fate whether you win or lose after that. Place |
| your bets, everyone! |
| |
| - Severing Slash: This is Sae's basic physical move. One you want to |
| see actually, as it's one of the less painful moves she can do (I had |
| Joker dodge this a couple of times... lucky!). Still, keep your HP up |
| above 250+ so this attack doesn't kill you! |
| |
| - Gattling Gun: A semi-dangerous move. Gattling Gun will do gun damage |
| to everyone. Usually not so bad, and you can easily recover with a |
| single Mediarama cast. If you get unlucky, someone may be critical'd |
| by this attack, over and over. If that happens, Sae will usually just |
| follow up with a cast of Dekaja or Tarukaja. Fun... |
| |
| - Megidola: Another hit-all move. This move will do Almighty Damage |
| to everyone. Again, usually not too bad as long as you keep your |
| health up and use Mediarama afterwards. At least it is guaranteed not |
| to be anyone's weakness! |
| |
| - Hundred Slaps: This move targets one ally with... well, maybe not a |
| a hundred slaps, but a lot of them. This will do around 200 damage |
| and has a chance to put dizzy on someone. Hopefully someone will just |
| cure the affected party member (Harisen Recovery), but you may have to |
| use Amrita Drop on them instead. |
| |
| - Tarukaja: This move gives Sae an "Attack Up" effect. This and the |
| "Head Riser" move below are the reason you want to have some way to |
| negate enemy buffs. We can do without Sae having an attack buff, that |
| is for sure! |
| |
| - Dekaja: This move is annoying: Sae will use it when you are buffed in |
| order to remove/nullify all party stat boosts. At least she wastes a |
| turn using this! Be sure to re-apply any buffs you need afterward! |
| |
| - Heat Riser: This is one of the cheapest moves and the big reason you |
| want some way (Ann, Joker or items) to debuff enemies. Sae will give |
| herself ATK/DEF/ACC/EVASION up with this move. It is ridiculous and |
| really does turn her into a force... so take it all away with with a |
| debuff move (or item) as we really don't need Sae buffed up... |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
After the boss fight, we'll get some dialog and scenes... of course. We
will also gain a rank up with Akechi...
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
There are plenty of scenes here as a ton of shadows approach and our team
needs a distraction. You'll be the distraction of course, but this next part
is VERY much like the beginning of the game.
So... follow the linear path they make you take here and continue until you
have to fight the "Sacrificial Pyrekeeper". Keep your health up and take him
out, then continue until you get the ambush scenes from the beginning of the
game.
When you get the option to SAVE, go ahead and save. Important things are
about to happen after all!
More scenes from the beginning of the game here. Choose whatever options you
wish and soon the day will end, advancing to the next day automatically.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
More scenes from the beginning of the game here as Sae comes to meet us.
We'll get a scene with Igor and the girls as well...
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Casino of Jealousy Shut Down" Bronze Trophy for
defeating Shadow Niimima. If only things hadn't come down to this...
We'll be talking with Sae now, who will want to strike a deal... Hmm...
Ask "A deal...?" here and she'll list off a bunch of our allies in a row,
wanting to know if they are Phantom Thieves...
(-NOTE-) I will be putting us down the path of the "TRUE ENDING" of this
game. If you want to see other endings, give up your allies here.
Although I recommend going for the True Ending first.
Go ahead and say "Never heard of them" here. She'll then ask about people
outside our group who may have helped us. Pick "There were no such people"
here. Next she'll ask about Akechi. Pick "That's impossible" here, and then
"I don't know a thing" after that. We're not selling out our friends...
Sae will try to understand why we won't sell out our team. Pick whatever
option you wish here (I went with "It goes against justice") and after that
pick "You call this justice?" to upset her. Haha. What is our justice? To me
it is "Saving others". There will be a bit of dialog here, but after that pick
"What about the true culprit?".
We'll get a very memorable scene next. Mona... talking about pancakes?
Someone could hear him? Earlier than they should have? Hmm...
Ask Sae "Don't you want to win?" once she starts to wrap up. We'll get yet
another flashback after that. Ask her "Is this what you planned?" next and
she'll talk about who sold us out after that. Answer "Hand it over?" in the
flashback to learn about a smartphone we need to hand off. Huh...
Niijima will ask if we know who sold us out next... Pick "I want to make a
deal with you" next and then pick "The phone...". We'll get another flashback
here (pick what you want) before Sae snaps us back to it. Tell her to "Show it
to the true culprit". We'll hear some plotting after that. A familiar voice...
Tell Sae "I already told you" and she'll realize... tell her "I need you to
trust me" after that. These scenes man... giving me chills! Sae will finally
understand us as we rank up with her to rank 10:
.'��'.

(-NOTE-) You can now fuse SATAN, the most powerful Persona of the JUDGEMENT
Arcana.
Enjoy the scenes now as Sae leaves and meets up with Akechi in the hall. She
holds up her end of the deal. There's an amazing scene after this as we are
visited by Akechi. This does give us a rank up though:

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Only rank 8, huh? Well then. Enjoy the scenes and dialog here as a truly
shocking turn of events happens. And yet...
There's quite a few scenes here. Answer the questions however you wish from
this point forwards and enjoy the plot as it unfolds. The day will advance
automatically with a SAVE PROMPT at the end (I suggest saving, once again).
Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 21ST (MONDAY 11/21)

----------------------------
Even more scenes here as the plot and "missing details" are all revealed.
The game is taking great pains to make sure you understand how everything
happened here!
We'll have a team meeting as everyone explains the plan and what happened
for the Boss and Sae (and us of course). Just enjoy the scenes today and
answer the dialog choices however you wish.
After the Leblanc scene is one with Shido and Akechi. A short one as they
view themselves as heroes. We'll be back in Leblanc after that as the team
pieces together who the true culprit is, thanks to Akechi and his big mouth!
We'll have to guess on the Palace for Shido here. Once you are given a
chance, pick "The Diet Building" to get a hit. We'll get more dialog after
that. Specifically, school seems to be over for us. Hahaha! Well, that seems
about right.
We'll get another scene after that with Shido and Akechi. A bit more plot
exposition of course. Rather revealing of course, so enjoy. Soon we will be
left free in our room, with a new round of objectives:
o OBJECTIVE: Clear the False Charges
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Steal Shido's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate Shido's Palace
We have to go to bed here, but first note that you can talk to Futaba to
get SEVERAL explanations of what happened between Akechi and Sae. Interesting
stuff, for sure.
Once you are done talking with everyone, go ahead and go to bed. The next
day will come soon enough.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 22ND (TUESDAY 11/22)

-----------------------------
There's not much going on today. Some texts from various friends and
Confidants that want to make sure we are OK. Very sweet of them all! Hehe.
I suppose these texts only appear with people you've gotten to Rank 10 with.
We'll even get a scene at school like we were still there... kind-of weird.
After school we'll have a group text and will head out to the Diet Building
to try and discover the castle. No luck though. Perhaps he has a barrier up?
That seems... hmm... is it possible? The police talking on a radio will drive
us away sooner or later though.
The day will come to an end soon though.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 23RD (WEDNESDAY 11/23)

-------------------------------
More texts today along with a group meet at Leblanc's. We'll try a bunch of
locations for the Palace, but nothing comes up. After a scene here with Akechi
on the news, we'll hear SHIDO outside. Wait, really?!
Head outside and make your way to the station to see Shido's campaign. We
get some speech while we make our way there. Go to the station for a scene
with Ryuji and then Joker will FINALLY connect the dots as to who set him up
as a criminal in the first place. Pretty co-incidental!
We'll make plans to try going to the Diet Building again tomorrow, but for
tonight we have to go to bed. Goodnight!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
More texts today from our confidants. Very heartwarming! Soon we'll be back
at the Diet Building trying to get into the Palace. Once you have a chance,
pick "Is it a ship...?" and then watch the scenes from there.
Oh... oh my...
Well... let's investigate!
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Shido's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Ship
ENTRANCE HALL
-------------
Be sure to bring YUSUKE in with you. As you enter the ship you can talk to
the guests, but it won't help much. The scenery here is something else. I like
the Shido banners. Head up the stairs for a fight:
MINI BOSS: GUARD DOG OF HADES
This fight is easy with Yusuke. Have him cast his strongest Ice attack and
then wipe up after that. It will take two rounds, but the guard dog will fall
after that. Easy.
Note that there are SHADOWS from this point forward. One on each side of this
second level, actually. Our Negotiation Table will help here:

ENTRANCE HALL
-------------
What you want to do is head LEFT from the stairs and around the side, taking
out the shadow and finding a CHEST with a [_BLACK KOGATANA_] in it. Sweet. Head
down the other path on the second floor (the right path) for another enemy and
another CHEST. This one with [_CORRUPT GEAR_] in it.
Go back and use the stairs to get to the third floor. Go RIGHT here first to
find a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_], which is our treasure in this Palace it seems, and
kill off the enemy patrolling past that.
Continue north and as you round the corner get another [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_].
The stairs leading up are on the east side, with an enemy and yet another
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. Take the enemy out and head up the stairs to the next
floor.
Up here there should be a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] staring you in the face. There
are [_DARUMA ORNAMENT x2_] after that, one on the west side, one on the east
(to the south a bit). There's also a guard dog patrolling up here. Take him
out. BEFORE you go through the eastern door though, look across from hit to
see (with third eye) that you can climb the SPEAKERS here. Follow this path
to an upper level and a CHEST. Rob it for an [_IDATEN OFUDA_]. Go back down
now and into the eastern door to continue.
CENTRAL PASSAGE
---------------
Walk forward and you'll get a short scene. Morgana has sniffed out the
treasure. Excellent. We are NOT ALLOWED off the beaten path though, so just
go straight, keeping your eyes open to the right for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]
treasure and then examine the big doors at the end for a scene.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Obtain intel from teammates
Everyone has split up to gather intel. Time to go harvest! Ann is nearby.

Talk to her to learn one of the VIP's likes the poolside. Huh. Go north after
that for the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] and to find Ryuji. Past him is Futaba, but
then go south for Haru and Makoto. Makoto has something: a Mr. Ooe, who likes
to hang around the restaurant. Hmmm...
Go south from here for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] then back up a bit and go into
the western hallway for Yusuke. He's got info too: a president of a TV station
who likes the slots. Nice. Morgana will point out the nearby [_CRUISE SHIP MAP_]
so let's go pick that up afterwards. We'll have a team meeting after that. Head
to the safe room Morgana pointed out.
We'll go over what we picked up now. The three people we already know about
are reiterated to us while Futaba adds an IT Company president to the mix.
Finally, someone called the "Cleaner". He'll be left for last, it seems. Oh,
that has boss battle written all over it...
Well... we'll have to do this on another day. For now the team wants to leave.
Make sure you have an "EMPRESS" Persona in your charge and go ahead and leave.
We'll be back at Leblanc's after that. After the talk with Sojiro and the
text, check the TV for a question:
o QUESTION: A: Speaker of the House decides

B: They flip a coin
o ANSWER: Speaker of the House decides
Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_]. Flip a coin? Really? Ha,
could you imagine!? After that head towards your room to go to sleep. We will
get a call from Ryuji before bed.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
OK, we finally have some freedom! About time, right!? We'll get a scene
here with Morgana who encourages us to spend time with people. Awww...
After a reminder of the mission and a group chat we'll get our day count
down in the upper right corner. We also get a new request from Mishima today
which is nice:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: Swindling Old Folk is Pretty Low
(-NOTE-) We're going to have a few last requests in the game. We will take
care of them all at once near the end of the game.
For our activity today, let's head to school and head to the rooftop to go
see Haru. Notice how we have to sneak around! Hahaha! We can HARVEST our
vegetables today too! Do so and plant some new ones, then agree to hang out
with Haru to continue.
Haru will continue to talk about the new president here, telling you what
she's learned. Pick "Somebody's telling the truth" here. Her upcoming marriage
will come up next, but be sure to pick "There has to be another way" here and
then pick "I don't think so" and we'll get our rank up soon:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: BUMPER CROP |

| Increases the total vegetable yield for a single harvest. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Haru seems like she's sweet on us already, huh? Well then...
We'll be back home soon after that. Today I had Kawakami do laundry and then
I went back inside and played "Star Forneus".
o GAME PROGRESS: STAR FORNEUS (COMPLETE!)
We'll get [_GUTS +2_] for beating the game as well as the [_SHOOTING CARD_]
item. Nice. We'll get our laundry after that and will be onto the next day.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
Today let's hang out with Futaba. She's just outside, so go agree to hang
out with her (Finally, rank 10 here we come).
She'll take us to Akihabara to try and be OK without us. She makes us wait
on her and... doesn't come back in time. Having fun!? Haha. Tell her "We'll
do it together" here. We'll hear about Kana-chan after that and her progress.
Good. Tell Futaba "You can't lose to her". The next dialog option you can pick
what you wish and soon we'll get our rank 10:
.'��'.

| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: FINAL GUARD |
| |
| Chance to nullify a fatal attack to a current party |
| member. |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Oh, that sounds like a great ability! Two for one here! And a new fusion will
unlock as well.
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse ONGYO-KI, the most powerful Persona of the HERMIT
Arcana.
We'll get a final scene here with Futaba as she claims her reward after all.
Her new Persona, Prometheus, will gain a skill as well. Nice! Now to find some
Yakisoba...
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon enough. We only have TWO more Confidant Ranks
to work on that don't come automatically (Haru and Iwai). We're close to being
done!
Speaking of Iwai, let's go see him right now. He'll have Kaoru come talk to
us today. He'll go on about how Iwai should have come clean sooner. Agreed.
Tell him "It's up to you now, Iwai". Kaoru will question why we helped Iwai
out. Heh. Tell him "I couldn't leave him".
After that, Iwai will get rid of Kaoru and basically calls us out, but you
can tell he's completely on our side, promising to put extra work into his
guns for the Phantom Thieves...
.'��'.

| NEW ABILITY: ACE CUSTOMIZATION |

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse ATTIS, the most powerful Persona of the Hanged Man
Arcana.
Two Rank 10's in one day!? Very nice! We get [_PROFICIENCY +2_] from this
rank up as well. Not that you need it. Our day will be over with soon after
that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll get a text this morning (along with dramatic music for some weird
reason). We also get the SHOPPING CHANNEL today! Sweet. They are selling the
[_HOT WATER POUCH x2_] accessory here. These, as you may guess, will let you
resist the "Freeze" status effect.
For our day activity, since Haru isnt' available, let's go ahead and play
a video game (we're still going after that trophy after all!). Let's go with
"Punch Ouch" first.
(-NOTE-) If you perhaps STILL need stats... although that's a long shot,
You can get "Nasty Aojiru" for GUTS +1. Combine it with a fortune
reading for GUTS +2. If you wish.
And with that... this is the last time I'll be pointing out the
DRINKS in the game. If you still need stats (for example, you didn't
start following this guide until half-way through the game perhaps?)
then be sure to focus on getting stats for the rest of this game and
catch up on whatever else you can (confidants if you have a chance
of getting them all and then trophies with books/games).
Punch Ouch will actually make you do stuff! Or, well... press buttons anyway.
The two combos you have to do are:
1. LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, X

2. PRESS X A TON!
Not too hard, but memorize the first one and use the cheats to give yourself
more time and you can get through this easily enough:
o GAME PROGRESS: PUNCH OUCH (1/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We get [_CHARM +2_] for this as well. For our evening, go ahead and play
the game again. Yes, we're spending an entire day playing video games. Hey,
almost like real life! Hehehe...
o GAME PROGRESS: PUNCH OUCH (2/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
Well, that will be it for today. Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
NOVEMBER 28ST (MONDAY 11/28)

----------------------------
Today let's go hang out with Haru. She'll take us out to go research coffee
today. After she's done reading, pick "That's fascinating" and after she tells
you her origin, pick "I had no idea". She'll continue her story. Her grandpa
sounds like a very giving man. A far cry from what her company is nowadays...
Pick "Black like coffee?" once you get a chance and we'll have a rank up
soon after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| party members. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Very nice! We'll get a surprise guest after that. This guy... ugh, listen to
the dialog and pick whatever you wish next (I picked "You don't need to
apologize...") and then be sure to pick "Be strong, Haru" after that for the
points. We'll part with her after that...
For our evening, let's finish off "Punch Ouch". Be sure to SAVE and then go
play it. There are different punching combos this time as we fight "Mike
Bryson", which is just... hilarious. Hahaha. Here's the combos:
1. UP, UP, X
2. PRESS X A TON!
3. LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, UP, X
Not too hard, as long as you are quick. Get through it and you'll beat the
game soon enough.
o GAME PROGRESS: PUNCH OUCH (COMPLETE!)
We'll get [_CHARM +2_] for our win as well as the [_BOXING CARD_]. Very
nice! It'll be bed time after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
We'll get a group text chat today. Everybody checking in. After that we get
a Palace text as well. Ignore it and then we'll be free.
Let's go hang out with Haru today. Head to the school and we'll be able to
go see here (don't forget the vegetables as well!). Haru will tell us that
she is roasting her own coffee now. Fun. Pick "You look exhausted" once you
get a chance and you'll see soon how exhausted she is. Poor Haru.
After that, she'll tell you what's kept her up. Pick "What do you want to
do?" here followed by "You should tell him that". She'll get some determination
after that, then tell her "You can do it, Haru". We'll get a rank up after that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: SOIL IMPROVEMENT |
| |
| Decreases the total amount of time it takes to |
| cultivate vegetables. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll have to learn of her magic item next time...
We'll be back at Leblanc's soon after that. For tonight, let's try out a
new game. "Train of Life". Be sure to SAVE here, just in case! The secrets
book lets us roll the dice more time for this game. Heh, nice.
For this game, we have to roll dice to get past "Octavius the Octopus". We
need to roll higher than his favorite number (which is 8... surprise!). Roll
until you get higher than that and stay with the number to beat him.
o GAME PROGRESS: TRAIN OF LIFE (1/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We'll get [_KINDNESS +2_] for doing this. Very nice! This will end our night
though. Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-------------------------------
Here we are, the last day of November. After a scene at school, we'll be
back in control.
There's not much to do today. Haru isn't available, and that's who we want
anyways. With that said, let's spend the day playing video games. Let's go
ahead and continue playing "Train of Life". SAVE as usual and play it.
THIS time we will have to roll either a 3, 5, 7, or 9 to continue. We get

five chances to do so. Roll one of them and you'll win.
o GAME PROGRESS: TRAIN OF LIFE (2/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We'll get [_KINDNESS +2_] for beating this session.
For our nighttime activity let's SAVE and then play it again. This time we
need to roll either a 4, 8, or 12. Limited, but we get six tries to do so.
Reload if you must, but you'll win sooner or later!
o GAME PROGRESS: TRAIN OF LIFE (COMPLETE!)
For winning we get [_KINDNESS +2_] and the [_RAILROAD CARD_]. And that's
how we end November! Hahaha! Let's continue on to December now.

DECEMBER 1ST (THURSDAY 12/01)

-----------------------------
We'll get a text from Haru today, wanting to hang out. Before you go though,
note that you can FEED YOUR PLANT here. Use Mega Fertilizer for [_KINDNESS +3_]
if you wish (although you may not need it).
OK, after that, let's hang out with Haru. Accept her text to get there right
away and agree to hang out. Once you start to talk about her "magic item", pick
"The soil?". I'm... not sure this is the best way, but lets play along. Next up
pick "It'll help him understand you" and then "I'll be cheering for you" after
that.
She'll ask us to be present when she talks to the president and we'll gain
our rank up soon after that:
.'��'.

We'll be back at Leblanc's after that and will get a group text. All about
Shido, of course. Well, for tonight let's continue to push the video games.
We have a new one tonight, "Power Intuition", a retro fighting game that will
give us GUTS. Heh...
BE SURE TO SAVE!
Go ahead and play it (use cheats if you want, I am). For this game you MUST
input a fighting move near the end to win:
o DOWN, DOWN-RIGHT, RIGHT + X
This move may take you a couple of tries to do right. Roll it slowly and on
purpose and hit X. If you mess up, you can always RELOAD the save from earlier
(It took me two tries to do it right... I guess I was going to fast?). This is
the same input as Ryu/Ken's Hadouken from Street Fighter, so chances are you
are already very familiar with it. Nail it to pass this gaming session.
o GAME PROGRESS: POWER INTUITION (1/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
For winning today, you'll get [_GUTS +2_]. That's it for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 2ND (FRIDAY 12/02)

---------------------------
We'll get a text for the palace today, but go ahead and ignore it. Haru is
ready for hanging out again, so let's prioritize that for sure! Go and meet
up with her (you have to manually go to the school roof) and hang out.
We'll meet up with President Takakura here. He'll try the coffee Haru made
and Haru will start here speech. Tell her "Believe in yourself" to keep her
going and listen to the two finally be honest with each other.
Ah, this is good to see, right? After Takakura proposes that she stop by
at the next meeting, tell her "Give it all you've got, Haru". The two will
come to an understanding and Takakura will deal with the marriage as well.
Big win for Haru all around it seems.
Tell her "You did amazing" after that and we'll get another rank up after
that:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Haru will bring up Takakura's comment after that... hoping for a response
it seems...
.��. .��.
`�� `��
o Choose "I like you too, Haru" for a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with HARU.
o Choose "He saw us as good friends" for a FRIENDSHIP with HARU.
(-NOTE-) Once again, this is a personal choice. Haru is cute enough, and
has had one of the more interesting struggles in the game (when
you factor in her father... just wow...) so I can see why some
people would go for her. I'm personally going the FRIENDSHIP route
with her. As another side note, Haru's reaction to friendship is
just... heart-breaking.
We'll be back home after that. Time for another night of video games!
We are playing "Power Intuition" again and have to do more fighting move
combo's, so....
BE SURE TO SAVE!
Go ahead and play it (use cheats if you want, I am). For this round you
have to do the same move as last time, plus a NEW MOVE:
1. DOWN, DOWN-RIGHT, RIGHT + X
2. DOWN, DOWN-LEFT, LEFT + X
Again, input the directions steadily and deliberately , not to fast. Reload
if you need to and nail down the combos to pass this session.
o GAME PROGRESS: POWER INTUITION (2/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We will get [_GUTS +2_] once you win. Onto the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 3RD (SATURDAY 12/03)

-----------------------------
Today is going to be all about VIDEO GAMES. We are getting close to

finishing them all off, after all. This morning, we should be able to finish
off "Power Intuition". But as always...
BS SURE TO SAVE!
Go ahead and play it (use cheats if you want, I am). For this round you
have to do the same move as last time, plus a NEW MOVE:
1. DOWN, DOWN-RIGHT, RIGHT + X
2. DOWN, DOWN-LEFT, LEFT + X
3. RIGHT, DOWN-RIGHT, DOWN, DOWN-LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT + X
This new move is the HARDEST YET. You need to be a bit faster here to get
all of the directions, but focus on being steady as well. Hit X at the very
end QUICKLY and reload to retry if need be. With some practice you can get
this! BK believes in you!
o GAME PROGRESS: POWER INTUITION (COMPLETE!)
Sweet! We will get [_GUTS +2_] like normal and the [_FIGHTING CARD_] for
beating this game. Only one more video game left to beat!
For our evening, we are going to start on that video game! "Golfer Sarutahiko"
is its name, and it's quite a bit easier than the last one. The goal of this
game is to hit "X" when the bar enters the marked area. Hit X to start it and
X to stop it. Using cheats will make the bar move a bit slower (so no reason
not to, honestly). You should still SAVE just in case!
Get the bar into the mark and get through this first session!
o GAME PROGRESS: GOLFER SARUTAHIKO (1/3 SESSIONS DONE!)

We will get [_PROFICIENCY +2_] for beating this session and will move on
to the next day after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 4TH (SUNDAY 12/04)

---------------------------
OK, so this is our final day of video gaming. We should get a trophy once
we finish out the day. Note that you CAN go get the drink from the Shibuya
Underground Walkway if you want, although as I noted last Sunday I wouldn't
be pointing those out anymore.
Anyway, today let's play "Golfer Sarutahiko" and get the second session
done. Be sure to SAVE and then play:
o GAME PROGRESS: GOLFER SARUTAHIKO (2/3 SESSIONS DONE!)
We get another [_PROFICIENCY +2_] boost for this. Evening will come soon
after that, so once more let's sit down one last time with Golfer Sarutahiko
and beat the last session (remember to save!):
o GAME PROGRESS: GOLFER SARUTAHIKO (COMPLETE!)
Once we beat it, we'll get the [_GOLF CARD_] and [_PROFICIENCY +2_]. We'll
also get the video game trophy! Very sweet!
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Golden Finger" Bronze Trophy for completing all
of the video games in the game!
And that is it for today! On to the next day!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 5TH (MONDAY 12/05)

---------------------------
We'll get a text from Haru today, who wants to hang out. This is one of the
last big things we have yet to do, so let's go meet her right away. Note that
you can also likely harvest your VEGETABLES while you are here (may as well,
right?). After that agree to hang out with her.
Haru will take us to Leblanc's for coffee today. After Sojiro leaves, ask her
"Will things be ok?". She'll share how the meeting went and her plan to open
a shop of her own. Tell her "It all comes down to the flavor" here followed by
"It's hard work, you know".
After that Haru will open herself further to us and we will rank up for the
final time with her:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse MOTHER HARLOT, the most powerful Persona of the
Empress Arcana.
Haru's Persona will then transform from Milady to Astarte (and boy does it
ever have a different look to it!).
For our evening, I went ahead and worked out at the SPORTS GYM in Shibuya.
I bought some PROTEIN from the store (Central Street, upper left store)
beforehand (a lot of them actually). By using that and working out I gained
[_HP +5_] and [_SP +3_].
And that's the end of this day!

DECEMBER 6TH (TUESDAY 12/06)

----------------------------
OK, for the morning today, you should really go visit the game shop in
Akihabara and trade the cards in that we won from our video gaming in for
items. This is what you can get:
[_GAMBLING CARD_] = [_BETTING BADGE_], which nullifies the "Fear" status.

[_SHOOTING CARD_] = [_FORNEUS BADGE_], which gives you "Evade Physical (High)".
[_BOXING CARD_] = [_PUNCH BADGE_], which nullifies the "Hunger" status.
[_RAILROAD CARD_] = [_TRAIN BADGE_], which gives you "Augo-Sukukaja".
[_FIGHTING CARD_] = [_PI BADGE_], which gives you "Reduce Physical DMG (High)".
[_GOLF CARD_] = [_GOLF BADGE_], which nullifies the "Brainwash" status.
After that, I headed into MEMENTOS today. We should have ONE request to
do: the "Swindling Old Folk is Pretty Low" request. Be sure to do that one
when you go in and explore the new area all the way to the bottom (it has
enemies from the latest Palace in it).
Our Infiltration Log should look like this once you finish:

--------------------------
o Defeated Shadow Wakasa o Reached Sheriruth
o Found the Area 6 Waiting Room o Found the Area 10 Waiting Room
o Reached the Sheriruth Depths
After that, go ahead and CALL KAWAKAMI to give you a massage so we can do
something else. Once I had my energy back, I went to the SPORTS GYM in Shibuya
and trained again for [_HP +5_] and [_SP +3_]. The day will be over once you
are done with that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 7TH (WEDNESDAY 12/07)

------------------------------
We'll get a reminder of the Palace deadline today.
After that, let's change things up a bit! May as well get GIFTS from some
of our close friends, right? A lot of these upcoming days will be kinda
focused on that.
Today let's take Futaba to one of her favorite places: Akihabara. She'll
run off but after the laptop incident tell her "You feel betrayed". We'll
get the [_HERO FIGURE_] here.
Now, for our evening, head to the ARCADE in Akihabara. You can play the
CRANE GAME here to obtain the [_BURGER-KUN DOLL_] (NOTE: We probably could
have got these dolls earlier, but we'll get them all now).
That doesn't take any time though, so after that let's spend some time at
the SPORTS GYM in Shibuya. While we train here, we'll be told that we are
"used to this equipment", which means slightly lower stats: [_HP +3_] and
[_SP +2_]. We'll get to use different equipment the next time we come here,
just so you know!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 8TH (THURSDAY 12/08)

-----------------------------
Well... look at that! It's FLU SEASON once again.
This means that, if you wanted to, you could do the "REAPER TRICK". If you
aren't sure what that is, check "November 13th" up above. It is a trophy but
it's also a way to get 6-7 levels very easily...
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-)
(-NOTE-) In order to set yourself up for some NEW GAME + trophies, it is

a good idea to use today to go to MEMENTOS and farm FLU REAPERS.
You can do this by moving up and down floors, getting in fights
with REAPERS, and then fleeing if they don't have the FLU. If they
do, you can guard and let them die.
Doing this until you are level 90+ and then filling out the PERSONA
COMPENDIUM as much as you can (we can't do it fully until NEW GAME
PLUS) will set you up fantastically for getting a PLATINUM on NEW
GAME PLUS.
For reference, I did NOT do this and as a result I played a NEW

GAME PLUS until NOVEMBER for the FLU TRICK/REAPER TRICK, so you
very much have the benefit of hindsight.
As far as Futaba's event below... skip it or do it later if you

plan on following this note. This will help you more than a room
accessory for sure.
(-END IMPORTANT NOTE-)
OK, be sure to check the TV for a question today:
o QUESTION: A: Attempted murder

B: Involuntary manslaughter
o ANSWER: Attempted murder
Give the right answer here for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_] (I actually picked the wrong
answer, so process of elimination here...).
After that, head to the ARCADE in Akihabara. You can play the CRANE GAME
here to obtain the [_WANNA-KUN DOLL_]. Sweet. Thankfully that takes no time
though.
OK, we can finally spend some time. Let's hang out with Futaba again. This
time take her to "Asakusa" specifically "Asakusa Nakamise Street". While you
are here, tell her "Hey look, a ninja!". At the end of the day, Futaba will
end up giving us a gift: the [_I <3 TOKYO SHIRT_]. Sweet!
For our evening, let's go hang out with Ohya. We don't have a choice here
on where to take her, but you can invite her out for sushi, so be sure to
do that!
Once you get a choice, tell her "Let's keep our spirits up". At the end of
the night she'll give us a gift: the [_SUSHI MUG_]. Sweet. That's it for
tonight.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 9TH (FRIDAY 12/09)

---------------------------
OK. Let's head to the ARCADE in Akihabara today. You can play the CRANE GAME
here to obtain the [_LEXY DOLL_]... which looks really weird. Quite a bit
smaller than the other ones. This takes no time, of course.
For our day activity, let's meet up with Yusuke. Let's take him to "Meiji
Shrine". Pick whatever dialog option you wish here (I picked "Good Grades")
and soon Yusuke will give you a gift: a [_HAMAYA_].
Well sweet! For our evening activity, let's head to the SPORTS GYM in
Shibuya. We get the weight bench this time. Work out with Protein and
you should gain [_HP +7_] and [_SP +4_]. That will be the end of the day
today. On to tomorrow!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 10TH (SATURDAY 12/10)

------------------------------
OK. Let's head to the ARCADE in Akihabara today. You can play the CRANE GAME
here to obtain the [_SHEEP MAN DOLL_]. This thing has some history...
(-NOTE-) This prize is a direct reference to the ATLUS PS3 game "Catherine".
A very odd puzzle game with a very Persona-esque story. Worth
checking out if you've never played it.
Now, for our day activity today, let's hang out with Makoto. We can meet
her discreetly easily enough. Let's take her to "Suidobashi". Once you are
there, ask her "Where should we go?". After that you'll get a gift from her:
a [_GI-NYANT DOLL_]. Sweet.
For the evening, it should be raining. Be sure to go BUY MOIST PROTEIN from
the upper left shop in Shibuya. This will be good for training later.
After that, let's hang out with Iwai. We'll be able to take him to the
Planetarium today. When you're asked, tell him "Want me to teach you?". No
gift today, abut the time with him is memorable (so I'm keeping it in!). We
will be on to the next day after that.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We get some SHOPPING today! Today is a [_HUNGER CHARM_] for 19,800 Yen. Go
ahead and buy it if you wish (I did). It nullifies hunger of course. May as
well buy it.
(-NOTE-) Be sure to get the MONEY FORTUNE from Chihaya before going! I...
may have forgotten myself...
And... for the rest of the day... let's go do SHIDO'S PALACE! Hold a group
meeting and choose to "Infiltrate Palace". Let's do this!
SHIDO PALACE
------------
Our updated objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get 5 Letters of Introduction
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate the Ship
Well, go ahead and warp to the Central Passage safe room if you wish. You
can also get the TREASURE from the Entrance Hall though, if you wish. It's
easy enough to get.
Before we get to far though... the PERSONA NEGOTIATION GUIDE:

CENTRAL PASSAGE
---------------
We get reminded of the people we need to meet as we arrive here, getting a

new objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Restaurant
The first thing you should do (which we probably should have done last time
but oh well...) is go DOWN THE NEARBY STAIRS to a CHEST for the [_MODEL GUN_].
From there, head south and go up the stairs you find. This hallway has a
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in it, but enter the door to continue.
CENTRAL HALL
------------
This area is the top area of the hall. There's two enemies up here: a normal
one to the right and a guard dog to the left. There's also a man we can talk
to up here, but it really doesn't help us. There's treasure though! Straight
ahead behind the pillar is a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. There's another [_DARUMA
ORNAMENT_] to the northeast (by the bar), a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to the north
by the railing, and a final [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to the northwest (by a small
pillar).
Head to the east now and go down the stairs. To the southeast is the door
to the restaurant, but before we go there nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] by it
and go WEST. You can talk to the woman here for info, but then kill the enemy
and continue WEST. You can check behind the bar here for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]
that is trying to hide. Heh.
Head back now and go north, killing the enemy patrolling around. There is a
man you can talk to back here and a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] nearby. There's also
a locked door back here. Just make a note of it for now.
OK, now head into the restaurant. I'd do a new area here, but we aren't here
for long. Just go forward and you'll learn we need a membership card to even
get in. And yes, you HAVE to trigger this:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Obtain a membership card
What we need to do is head BACK to the previous room and UP the stairs. Head
to the northwest here to find a NEW man to talk to. He'll talk about dropping
his membership card. Now, use your THIRD EYE here to trace his steps, down to
the bottom level and over to a bar. Talk to the barkeep here and ask him "Has
anyone turned anything in?" followed by "A Membership Card". We'll gain the
[_MEMBERSHIP CARD_] here. Sweet! Now head back to the Restaurant!
RESTAURANT
----------
Head inward here and to the dining area. Pick what you wish here but Ryuji
will butt in and take our (or Fox's) spot. Watch the scene here for some
plot advancement and soon we'll be fighting this piece of trash:
MINI BOSS: POLITICIAN OOE
This guy looks intimidating, but isn't hard. He is weak to PSYCHIC attacks
so you can knock him down pretty easily. What he likes to do is buff himself
up with Concentrate. He may double down by using Tarukaja (ATK UP) or Rakukaja
(DEF DOWN) on someone and then attack. You can debuff him if you wish but just
keep on using Psychic attacks and going all out. Use anything but ICE on him,
as he drains that. Everything else is fine.
After the fight we get some more dialog and will have access to the nearby
elevator to continue on.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Pool Deck
Continue to the elevator and continue. We'll get a scene with Shido here as
well. Making progress!
MID STARBOARD HALLWAY

---------------------
Take a look at this map for t his level. TONS of paths here and tons of
rooms. Wow. Continue to the east until you get to the door on the right
and check it to see its locked.
Continue on to the room and watch the scene. MICE!? What the heck!? That
statue is to blame, I suppose. Nothing we can do about it, but since we are
mice, be sure to go through the VENT to the east.
Emerge and go SOUTH, unlocking the door. This southern hallway has an enemy
in it you can kill. Check the eastern door down here to see it is locked. The
western path leads back to the mouse room, but it does has a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]
at the end.
Nab it and head back through the door we unlocked. There's another
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to the north. Try going down to the EAST first to see it
is another mouse room, but there's no vent here. Head back and into the northern
door to continue. We'll load up a new area, but it's still the same area (which
totally makes sense as I type it...).
This area has a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] for a welcoming gift. Sweet. The door up
to the right is locked, by the way, so head west.
Now, this upcoming room is HUGE and we're a mouse for it. Not good. There
are actually THREE ways out of this room, but the one we want is to the NORTH
(the NORTHEAST one). It is near where we enter the room, so you don't have to
go far, but time it so the shadow enemies leave you alone.
(-NOTE-) If you take any of the other exits, you will be trapped and will
have to go back...
We'll end up in the hallway to the north. Kill the enemy here and enter the
western door (this unlocks it). Kill the enemy in here and enter the northwest
room and examine the button in the corner. This thing TURNS OFF the Shido
Statues. Turn them off and head back to the east (examine the room to the
south if you wish), going all the way to the northeastern room to find a CHEST
with some [_SOUL FOOD_] in it. Head south and open up the door to unlock another
barrier.
From here, you can re-visit the HUGE room to the west. You can kill up to four
enemies here and nab [_DARUMA ORNAMENT x2_] if you want to go get in some more
fights and treasure.
Once you've done that, head south and east to the mouse room with no exit
we were at earlier. We can nab a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in here now and enter
the door! Head south but swing right when you can (west) to open a locked
door, then continue south. Skip the next right path so we can go south for a
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_], then head back and head west.
You'll come to a room eventually with another [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in it.

Use the doorways to ambush the enemy here and continue west. Head south when
you can and kill the two enemies blocking the way. This southern room has a
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in it and a CHEST with a [_BLACK ROBE_]. Sweet!
Nab it all and head to the north, unlocking the door to the area we started
at. Now, it's a bit of a run, but go ALL the way back to the southeast corner
and then to the room you find for an elevator. Ride it up to a new area.
POOL DECK
---------
The first thing to do here is hang a RIGHT (south) and enter the Safe Room!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Pool Deck
Head back outside now and grab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT x2_] in this area. You
can talk to the guest here as well, by the LOCKED CHEST. Open it to find the
[_LIFE JACKET_] armor, a [_DIAMOND_] and a [_GARNET_]. Very nice!
Continue on and you'll be in the Pool Area proper. Such a big pool! Head
down the stairs here and go south. The room over here is a changing room, so
we can't go in. There's a BAR here you should note as well. Go past it to the
south for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_], then south from there to find the NOBLE who
is out lounging.
Try to talk to him for some dialog and well... it won't go so well. We need
more intel.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Gather intel at the pool
Head east from here and kill the enemy, then continue east. At the far east
you can find a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] but talk to the woman in the swimsuit
nearby to give Ryuji an idea.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the bar counter
Before going though, the northeast corner has a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. We can't
go through the door here though. Kill the nearby enemy if you wish and then go
through the bar counter like Ryuji mentioned (skipping some of the objective
notifications here). He won't let us have any swimsuits....
Well darn. Head to the stairs next and go UNDERNEATH them. Pull off the
grate you find back here and use it to get in the dressing room. Watch the
scenes here and pick whatever dialog options you want. After the scenes and
the... "acting" are done, we'll end up in a fight:
MINI BOSS: FORMER NOBLE
This boss is a bit tougher than the last one, but not by much. First, he
is WEAK to ELECTRIC attacks, so be sure to bring Ryuji. He also drains ICE
so don't use that. Now, the reason he is so tough is because he does TWO
turns in a row on attack. He can also brainwash anyone with Marin Karin. In
fact, he can use Foul Breath (and later, when he is low on health, Stagnant
Air) as well, making brainwashing likely. He can also do Mapsiodyne, a hit
all psychic attack.
Still, keep hitting him with electric attacks and you'll take him out in
a few turns. Having a persona with "Energy Shower" will help a ton as it
lets you negate half of his attacks easily, so consider that if you are
having a tough time and take this guy out.
two turns in a row
After the fight we'll have that letter and we'll get some dialog, as well
as a scene with Shido. Fun. We'll be able to go to a new area as well!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Entertainment Hall
Head to the doorway to the east to access the new area.
UPPER STARBOARD HALLWAY

-----------------------
Oh boy... this place looks like another hallway maze area, doesn't it?
To the left is a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. Nab it and head forward. The door
straight ahead is locked, so take the only path and we'll become mice yet
again. After the pun (*groan...) watch the nearby enemy. He has a TIGHT
patrol pattern but wait for him to head right and go down the hallway to
the south. The door down here is locked, but we turn human again which means
we can get that [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] and kill the enemy here (which is likely
a new enemy for you to capture).
There are VENTS in this mice hallway! A bit weird, but keep your eye on the
southern wall and use the first one (there's one later on) to get BEHIND the
locked door. There's another locked door to the east but if you go in the
hallway and continue you can find another vent to get behind and unlock it.
Do so and head east to the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. Note there's enemies patrolling
to the NORTH and SOUTH, so be sure to take them out before going for the item
and you'll be safe.
Continue to the southern hallway and take out the patrolling enemy. Thankfully
THIS hallway doesn't turn us into mice. The door to the EAST is locked (you can
check it), so head west and kill the enemy you find. Unlock the door to the west
(which leads back to where we started) and go south to enter a new area.
Well... same area, but we got a loading screen. This room has a SHIDO STATUE
BUTTON as well as a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. The door to the east is also locked.
Ignore the button (for now) and kill the enemy to the west when he comes into
the hallway. The room over here turns us to mice, so go hit the SHIDO SWITCH
and return to the mouse room. Now we can open the door to the north for a
CHEST with a [_PARAPSY RING_] (which reduces PSY damage medium).
Now, go back and hit the SHIDO SWITCH and head back into the mouse room. In
here, check the SOUTHWEST corner for a vent and head through it. Once you get
to the southern hallway, go right for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] and unlock the
door to the north. Go kill the enemy here and head into the room to the east.
We'll be mice again. Fun. Head to the NORTH wall and use the vent to get to
the SHIDO SWITCH and hit it, then run back to this room and open the eastern
door to continue. There's a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] here and an enemy up ahead.
Take him out and head to the far right (east), to the solitary room. There's
another enemy here to kill but a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in it as well. Note the
small vent in the north wall here...
Head back and take the middle hallway up, killing the enemy moving around
up here (clear the area out). Go to the middle room now. Nothing here for us
but it fills out the map. Now go to the VERY NORTH hallway. The door to the
east is LOCKED of course, but you can go west to unlock the door to the SHIDO
SWITCH ROOM.
Go ahead and hit the switch, then head east and make your way to the lower
southeast room (the one we noted the vent in earlier). Head up through it
and unlock the door afterwards to the west, then go east to enter a new area.
"New" of course means we loaded in once again. At least loading is FAST.

Nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] here and WAIT for the enemy in the next room to
come out to this hallway so we can kill him. The room up ahead is a MOUSE
room. Head in and look for a vent to the south. Use it to go to the southern
hallway, watching out for the guard here. There's a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to
the left as you emerge and, down the hallway, you can find a CHEST that has a
[_IDATEN OFUDA_] in it. We can unlock the door here as well.
Now, what we need to do here is go BACK to the previous area and hit the
SHIDO SWITCH to stop the mouse room. Then come back and open the north door.
This hallway has a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in the corner and an enemy. Take him
out and unlock the western door, then go north to the BIG ROOM.
No mouse statue here, so kill the three enemies throughout the room and
nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT x2_] in this room. That's all that is here, so go
out the east exit to continue to a new portion of the ship.
BACK DECK
---------
There's a scene here about the change of the enemy's looks. Yep, new
enemies. This dungeon has a TON of different foes, doesn't it. Man, that
Persona Negotiation section is going to be HUGE...
Kill the foe to the left and go north for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] (the enemy
is likely new and can be captured). There's an enemy to the south as well,
so kill him and go south for another [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. Talk to the bartender
if you wish and head down the steps. There's a few patrolling enemies JUST down
the stairs so be careful. Note that the room nearby is a SAFE ROOM though!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Back Deck
Head back out and make sure the enemies are dead. Once they are we can
explore this area a bit. There's a lot of people to talk to here as well as
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT x3_] (one in the middle, two to the north). There's also a
CHEST under the stairs down here. Open it for some [_CLASSIFIED ARMOR_]. Very
nice.
After all of that, try to enter the northern door to the "Entertainment Hall"
and we'll get a scene. A "Very Vulgar Man" tries to stop us here and ends up
putting us in a fight!
MINI BOSS: HERETIC GOAT x2
This fight isn't too hard, but the enemies DO get to attack first. They
like to use fire and ice attacks, so Ann or Yusuke may get hit hard here
and possibly die if you are unlucky. These enemies are weak to BLESS attacks
though and don't have much health, so hit them with that and you'll be able
to kill them fairly easily.
So that man... was probably the "Cleaner". Huh. Well, we survived. Go back
and save/heal if you wish and then enter the northern door to continue.
ENTERTAINMENT HALL
------------------
This area doesn't have any enemies in it. Sweet. Go to the stairs but grab
the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to the left, then go down the stairs. STOP at the
bottom and go left for another [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_], then go north to a CHEST
for the [_GILGAMESH AXE_], a [_GARNET_] and some [_MAGIC OINTMENT_]. Sweet!
We have to go into the nearby entertainment hall now. We'll get a short
scene as we do. Head SOUTH (right) first for a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] and talk
to the woman if you wish. Head north after that. There's a man to talk to
and to the far north another [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. Head down the other side of
the area now and go down the stairs to the lower level.
Thankfully, just to the north is a SAFE ROOM.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Entertainment Hall
OK, let's save and continue exploring. Head to the northeast corner for a
final [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in this area and then head down to the lower floor.
We get a scene here that ends up leading to a new letter of introduction (Go
Haru!) and eventually a boss fight (because of course it does...).
MINI BOSS: SHADOW TV PRESIDENT & RAGING BIRD GOD x2
This fight can be rough if you don't know what to do. First, the most
IMPORTANT thing to do is take out the birds. They can HEAL their party so
they need to go. They are weak to electricity (and it's easy to get crits
with guns with them) so use that to take them out.
While you are doing that though, try to get the TV President with ICE
attacks. Get them all and you can go all out on all of them. For their part
the birds will heal and attack while the TV President can use "Reverse Rub"
on the birds (to make them rage... boy does that hurt when they hit you!),
use Swift Strike, and uses Mazionga (hit all lightning attacks). Whatever
you do though, keep your HP up and DO NOT use fire on the president, as he
will drain it making the fight last longer.
After the fight, we'll have ONE more target before the Cleaner.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the IT President
Head up to the previous Safe Room and heal up / save and then head to the
door to the north to continue on.
(-NOTE-) I ended up using a SUN TOMATO here as my SP was getting low with
everyone. So many items in my inventory unused... well, you guys
know what RPG's are like! Hahaha!
LOWER PORT HALLWAY

------------------
Oh man, this looks like another BIG area. OK, this dungeon is just huge.
Head into the huge area up ahead and start to kill off the enemies. There's
a lot of them in here, but kill them off. Chances are good they are a lot of
new enemies here you can capture. There's also [_DARUMA ORNAMENT x2_] in the
room as well. You can see this room is supposed to be a mouse room, but the
statue is down. The doors to the north (both of them) are locked, as is the
one to the south, FORCING us to use the lower west door to continue. Note the
VENT to the south though... we'll be using that later.
New hallway! Follow this down to the south and check the right door when
you get to it to see its locked. Continue on and go south to kill an enemy
and nab a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]. The door to the west is locked as well, but
note the SMALL VENT down here. Head up and go down the west hallway (the door
to the west is locked) and hit up the SHIDO STATUE here.
Head back to the small vent now and go though it. You're still a mouse but
you can go into the east hallway and unlock the door. Use this to hit the
SHIDO STATUE again and head back, opening up the north door in the mouse room.
You'll be able to unlock the east door up here and can continue west, nabbing
a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] on your way to a big room. Kill the enemies here (there
are two: one comes in from the west hallway) and get the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]
here, then continue west.
There's a locked door to the west here, so head north to a room and nab the
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to the left. NOTE THE VENT HERE (we will come back here in
a bit) and then continue through the door to the east hallway. There's another
[_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in this hall and an enemy, but go all the way to the end
and open the door to the east.
From here, go hit the SHIDO STATUE and go back to the far west room (the one
with the vent. We'll turn into mice and can now go through the vent to the south
to reach the secret area to unlock the door and open the CHEST. This chest has
a [_SPIRIT CHOKER_] in it. This thing gives you a WHOPPING 50 SP... but I still
prefer the SP Adhesive!
OK, from there we have to head back and hit the SHIDO SWITCH, then head to
north hallway and go north, entering the door. This path is pretty linear but
follow it up and take the first right hallway to unlock a door leading to the
first big area (the enemies have all respawned). Head back and continue,
following the path to a large room with an enemy and a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_].
Grab it and continue to the top hallway, following and killing an enemy and
getting another [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_].
The room we come to has a SHIDO SWITCH in it. Hit it and head out to the
hallway where you will be turned into a mouse. Look for a vent on the south
wall in this hallway and use it to reach a new room.
Nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] here and enter the west hallway to unlock the
door. Go ahead and use the SHIDO STATUE here (we have to) and go down the
south hallway. Continue to the end of the hallway and go through the north
door. Kill the enemy here and nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] in the room, then
note the VENT to the north here. Unlock the west door.
OK, now go back and hit the SHIDO SWITCH. Then head south and to the lower
hallway, then up the middle path. We'll be human in the left room. Head into
the right room and go through the NORTH vent, then east and south to the next
mouse room. From here you can use a vent on the EAST wall to get to a hallway
with a [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] to the left. Head south through the door and make
your way to the BIG ROOM, where we will be a mouse.
OK, this part is fun. We need to make our way to the south (dodging the many
enemies) to find a VENT to the south (by the locked door). Use the vent to go
all the way to the south. We're clear and free from here, but open up the door
to the north and note the SHIDO SWITCH here, then head south to the next area.
SIDE DECK
---------
OK... I'm a bit sick of the hallway puzzles right about now!
Our here you can go left to find a vent. Exhaust port. No one wants anything
to do with it though. Head the other way to find a SAFE ROOM.
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Side Deck
Be sure to SAVE here and heal up. As you leave and continue, the "Cleaner"
will come visit us again, which means another fight:
OK, this is the SAME fight as earlier except with ONE more goat. Fun.
In this fight though I got to attack first, which is awesome (must have
had a faster Persona equipped?). Either way, use BLESS attacks to take them
all out.
Easy enough! Continue on to... sigh... another hallway...
MID PORT HALLWAY

----------------
Well... THIS hallway looks way more compact at least. Enter the first room
and nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] and continue through the NORTH door (the west
room is a mouse room, so you can't do anything).
The northern room is a mouse room but it has a VENT to the west. Ignore it
for now and continue north, killing enemies in the hallways as you can turn
human there. Continue north to another mouse room and north again to the t op
room to find a SHIDO STATUE.
We did all of that to get a layout of this place. Don't mess with the statue
(yet) and instead go south twice and enter the western vent as a mouse! Be
wary of the enemy in the room with you! Kill him and nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_]
in here, then head west.
We'll turn into mice again, but go to the SOUTH wall and through the vent to
a room. Nab the [_DARUMA ORNAMENT_] and unlock the door to the east, then go
north and west to the room we entered the vent from. Watch out for the enemy
here and wait until he goes NORTH into the hallway to kill him.
Head north to the new room and check the northern door to see it is locked.
No choice but to go east now. Do so and head to the next room, turning you
into a mouse. You can go north through a vent here to the exit area. Well, the
room leading to the exit. Follow it to find an elevator that will lead to the
next area.
CENTRAL HALL
------------
Well, we've been here before. Exit the new area back into the old for a
short scene. The team will reason that... if the man doesn't ever leave his
room... we will turn into room service.
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Restaurant
Head to the southeast corner here to reach the Restaurant. Enter in (we'll
only be here for a short time) and go past the reception. Talk to the waiter
by the back wall for a scene and after that we'll get another objective:
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Side Deck
Well... OK. The best way back to the Side Deck is to get to a Safe Room. We
can head back to the Central Hall, go up the stairs, and go back to the Central
Passage to quickly reach a Safe Room. From there you can warp to the "Side Deck"
area quickly enough.
(-NOTE-) Make sure you have a Persona STRONG (or repels even) against
Physical Attacks. It is for a boss fight coming up, so just make
sure you are prepared!
SIDE DECK
---------
Head towards the VENT out here (to the left) and take out the enemy. As you
approach the vent you'll see an "!" to the right. We can climb the OUTSIDE of
the ship to reach the president's room. Go ahead and climb the sides of the
ship. Simply follow the prompts to climb to the top and left, hopping from
room to room until you reach the (obvious) target.
Heal up and enter as we're about to get into a fight. Watch the scenes as
Futaba proves her skills. She can't quite act the part though, and we'll have
to bail her out...
MINI BOSS: SHADOW IT PRESIDENT & SCANDALOUS QUEEN x2
So this fight... is an interesting one. These enemies are much like their
real counter-parts. The Scandalous Queens are weak to Psychic attacks while
the IT President is weak to NUKE attacks. Having Haru and Makoto here will
really help out. If you can get everyone knocked down, killing the queens
will be fairly easy. Be SURE you get damage on the president though as he
will continue to summon replacement Queens throughout. If you can keep up
that cycle though, the enemies won't even be able to attack. Once the
president gets low on health, focus him down and clean up.
We'll get some scenes with Akechi and Shido after the boss fight. Sounds
like a lover's spat. Well then... all that is left is the "Cleaner". Hmm...
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Get the last letter
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Find the Engine Room
Well then... head back and instead of going down continue to the far right
to find a CHEST with some [_EXORCISM WATER_]. Nab it and head down. We'll
get a scene here as the group discusses how to get the Cleaner's attention,
or where he even is. Pick "Engine Room" when you get a choice. Looks like
we're going to the the vent here after all!
Be sure to go SAVE / heal and then go back and kick in the vent so we can
head to the next area.
ENGINE ROOM
-----------
We will head forward and find the Cleaner out with his men. Hmm... make sure
you have a high-speed Persona equipped and then go ahead and drop down to fight
him. Although he'll once again throw his minions at us:
So... this is the same fight as earlier, but FOUR of them. Use BLESS
attacks to take them out. With a fast Persona we should get our turn
quickly and can take them out with minimal damage to our team.
Well, the Cleaner is trying to escape so we'll need to go after him. Follow
him to the south and look to the left for a CHEST with a [_BEAD CHAIN_] and a
[_DIAMOND_] inside. Sweet. The door is locked here though, so we have to find
a different way in (which is pretty obvious). Head to the room in the back and
use the boxes here to climb up, taking the vent to where the Cleaner is hiding
and drop in on him again.
He'll be quite impressed with us! Heh. After some dialog and Yusuke being
put on the spot, we'll have to fight him anyways.
MINI BOSS: SHADOW CLEANER
Now THIS boss is a notch above everything we've fought so far. The reason
being is because he has NO weakness and attacks twice per turn. Just to note
though: he has no... anything. No weakness, no drain, no resistance... so you
are free to use any attacks to take him down. I would personally put ATK UP
on everyone and DEF UP on everyone (maybe save that after one of his moves...
see below) and just wail on him. If Ann has Concentrate, that combined with
Agidyne can lay the hurt on.
For his part, the Cleaner will often try to land status attacks on us like
DEF. Down (Rakunda) or Foul Brat (status ailment up). He'll also put ATK UP
on himself (Ann can help here with ATK DOWN). From there he will use Maeigaon
(hit-all curse attacks), Mudoon, or Myriad Slashes (usually targeting whoever
got that DEF DOWN status). Once he gets low on health he'll step up to a few
stronger spells, like Marakunda (DEF DOWN on all) or Stagnant Air. He'll be
desperate at that point, so keep your health up at all times and keep laying
into the Cleaner to take him out.
OK, well congrats! We've got five introduction letters! That means we're in
the clear, right?
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Secure route to the Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Assembly Hall Door
(-NOTE-) Make SURE you are healed up right now! HP, SP, whatever it takes.
We're going to have an un-avoidable fight basically springed on
us soon, so I want you to be ready!
On our way back north we'll get a scene... one that will prompt a confidant
RANK UP. I bet you weren't expecting this at all!

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Wow! This is... this is something else. We're going to be in a NUMBER of

fights at this point, so get ready!
BOSS FIGHT: GUARD DOG OF HADES & SPEAR-WIELDING GENERAL
Well, the good news is that Akechi isn't fighting us... yet. For now, we
just focus on the threat in front of us. That "Call of chaos" move makes
shadows go berserk, but it doesn't stop there. These two enemies will go
on to use "Desperation", which makes their ATK go up and their DEF go down.
They are ALL about attack.
So... since we know they are all about ATK, we can use that against them.
Putting ATK down on them will help, but Haru's Tetrakarn is even better.
Putting that on your team until the enemy hits the right party member will
just devastate them. Combine that with a barrage of normal attacks from your
team (put ATK up on them) and these enemies should fall fairly easily.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE the last enemy falls, make sure you are healed up. HP
and SP. We have more fights to fight and don't want to be low on either.
You can give yourself a head-start in the next battle by applying status
buffs NOW.
OK, after that fight we'll have to face the main man himself. Akechi isn't
about to let us go. Enjoy the dialog and scenes and soon we'll be in another
fight with him...
BOSS FIGHT: GORO AKECHI (ROUND 1)
Yeah, there is a "Round 1". Which of course means there's going to be a

"Round 2". Round 1 is the normal round, where Goro mainly fights with the
attacks you've seen before (with Robin Hood). One big way to help yourself
is with status buffs. ATK, DEF, ACC up are all very helpful here (which makes
Ryuji, Makoto and Yusuke my main team). If you can get all of those on your
team, you can lay into Akechi hard with simple physical attacks.
For his part, he will use attacks you've seen with Robin Hood. Megaton Raid,
Kougaon, Eigaon (Bless and Curse damage) and towards the end he'll also put
"Charge" on himself to up his attack (dangerous) as well as use Megidolan
on everyone (almighty damage). Keep your health and status buffs up and you
will take Akechi down fairly easily!
IMPORTANT: BEFORE the finish off Akechi, do your best to make sure you are
healed up. HP and SP. Not buffs this time.
Once you've defeated him, you'll get quite a bit of dialog. Akechi will
stick with his distaste for friends and still comes off as an ego maniac.
Answer him however you wish. We'll get more dialog and even a cut-scene as
Akechi shows us his TRUE power. Holy crap... Loki? Norse God of Mischief!
This is what is truly powering him... and he's coming right for us!
BOSS: GORO AKECHI (ROUND 2)
OK, here we are at the real fight! Akechi knocks up the difficulty quite
a bit in this battle. The most notable change is that he attacks twice in
a row now, so he can pump on more damage. The GOOD NEWS is that he doesn't
mess with our status buffs/debuffs, so I still highly recommend the ATK, DEF,
ACC buffs (Ryuji, Makoto and Yusuke) as well as an ATK DOWN buff on Akechi
himself (Ann if you have to, Main Character preferably).
For his part, Akechi will use a LOT of physical attacks. SOme of the ones
he'll move are "Brave Blade", Negative Pile (has a chance to cause the despair
status... be sure to cure that ASAP), and "Deathbound" to hit everyone. He will
also use "Desperation" (ATK up, DEF down) and Tetrakarn to put up a physical
shield. That physical shield is a pain, so have your main character attack
with a Persona resistant to physical attacks to take it down and minimize the
damage you take (which may make him use it again, but it wastes a turn).
Once he's taken some damage, he'll add more moves to the repertoire. This
includes magic moves. He'll continue to use the curse and bless magic, as
well as "Maragion" (fire damage to all) and Makarakarn (magic wall). You can
get rid of that magic wall fairly easily by having someone use magic on him
that they themselves nullify, but with a lot more "hit-all" magic attacks
now coming your way, be sure someone is healing everyone. Personally, I had
my main character on healing detail as well as handling all of the physical
walls (and attacking when that wasn't needed). Finally, he has one super
move called "Laevateinn" which you may or may not see. It does severe damage
to the party and, if it hits, should be healed up right away.
Akechi has a LOT of HP here, so being able to sustain is the name of the
game. Those ATK, DEF buffs help a ton, as will putting ATK down and DEF
down on Akechi (he'll DEF down himself at times, of course). Keep the
healing up and keep pounding away at Akechi to take him down.
After the fight there'll be a rather long scene. Just enjoy. Nothing we can
do about any of this, but you will get a final rank up as you watch:
.'��'.

'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse METATRON, the most powerful Persona of the
Justice Arcana.
Wow. Just wow. Akechi was our undoing and our... well, maybe not savior,
but he tried to help us in the end...
Go ahead and leave the area now. We'll be out on the Side Deck once you
leave to the north, and after that we'll automatically be in the Central
Passage.
CENTRAL PASSAGE
---------------
Don't bother trying to go save in the Safe Room. Just head for the main
locked doors and enter through them. Follow this path to reach the Assembly
Hall and the Treasure. We'll have a scene here of course and will be able
to leave afterwards. There's NO reason to stick around anymore in this Palace
(we have been here far too long already, it seems), so go ahead and take the
easy transportation to the entrance and leave once you wish.

We're coming Shido!
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Steal the Materialized Treasure
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head to the Main Assembly Hall
Head to the Assembly Hall once you are ready to take Shido on. After quite
a bit of dialog (naturally), we'll get a boss fight:
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: IMAGES OF HUMAN SACRIFICE ~ |
| �� |
| |
| This fight... is a bit of a warm-up. So don't go blowing all of your |
| energy here! We are going to fight against THREE forms before we get |
| the privilege of facing off against Shido himself! |
| |
| |
| o "Beast of Human Sacrifice" |
| o "Wings of Human Sacrifice" |
| o "Tomb of Human Sacrifice" |
| |
| |
| We'll go through each of them down below. This is one fight after |
| another, so get ready! |
| |
| BEAST OF HUMAN SACRIFICE: |
| |
| The first form is one of the more challenging ones (I found the |
| form after this to be much easier). The biggest reason is because the |
| beast actually REFLECTS Physical attacks, so don't even try. This will |
| mean that magic is our primary attack, so you'll want a couple teammates |
| with boost/amp to help out. If Ann has Concentrate, she can be your best |
| attacker. Yusuke can help a bit as well with his ACC UP move for all. |
| Finally, make sure you have a healer for his big attacks (Mona ia s |
| good choice) as well as someone who can cure RAGE (on everyone, |
| preferably...). |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Attack: The Beast's normal attack. Doesn't hurt too much, so hope |
| for this to happen often! |
| |
| - Dekaja: You've seen this one before. This spell removes ALL status |
| buffs from the party. Annoying for sure. Still, be sure to counter |
| buff if you need to. Putting DEF or ACC up every once in awhile is OK |
| as well. It'll help us and make him use this. |
| |
| - Masukunda: The beast will put ACC DOWN on us. One reason why Yusuke |
| will be helpful in this fight as he can counter this and give us all |
| ACC UP. Not a bad move to see, really. |
| |
| - Beast King's Wrath: One of the Beast's special moves. This move will |
| do around 200+ damage to everyone, so be sure to be ready to heal up |
| afterwards and don't let yourself get THAT low on health (shouldn't be |
| hard with a dedicated healer). |
| |
| - Wage War: Now THIS is one of the more difficult abilities to deal |
| with, and just straight evil considering the Beast repels physical |
| attacks. Be sure to cure this status on everyone AS SOON as you can |
| or you'll meet a swift end... |
| |
| - Makarakarn: As if repelling physical isn't bad enough, the beast can |
| also use this move to put up a magic wall. Just attack with a spell |
| that won't hurt you. That's really all we can do. |
| |
| - Tarukaja: Another status buff. This one puts ATK UP on the beast. |
| If you have Ann with you (you should, she's great with the beast), you |
| can use Matarunda to put ATK DOWN on the beast, which is definitely |
| what we should do here! |
| |
| - Arm of Destruction: This is the beast form's ultimate move. It will |
| CHARGE before using this move, which gives you time to block it. Be |
| sure you are healed and guard. This move will still do around 200+ |
| damage even if you block, but that isn't too hard to cope with. Be |
| sure to heal afterwards of course. |
| |
| |
| AFTER 1/3RD OF HIS HEALTH IS GONE, HE'LL TURN INTO... |
| |
| |
| WINGS OF HUMAN SACRIFICE: |
| |
| This form is much easier than the last. It will resist magic, so you |
| will want to use physical attacks. Bring out your heavy hitters (Ryuji |
| and Yusuke, more than likely) and a dedicated healer (Makoto is good |
| here), then just go all out. Ryuji with CHARGE is great, but combine |
| that with ATK UP and DEF DOWN on the Wings if you can to really tear |
| through this phase... |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - "Dyne" Magic: This "wings" phase is all about magic attacks. As such |
| the boss will cycle through various -dyne attacks. Shido is somewhat |
| smart and will try to target party weaknesses, but he usually will just |
| go down the list (literally... Agi, Bufu, Zio, Garu, Psio, Frei...). |
| Heal up when needed and focus on battering the the boss... |
| |
| |
| AFTER 2/3RDS OF HIS HEALTH IS GONE, HE'LL TURN INTO... |
| |
| |
| TOMB OF HUMAN SACRIFICE: |
| |
| So... this thing is a physical pyramid. A tomb, trying to protect |
| Shido. Just wow... Well, this form is the last one. It doesn't have any |
| strengths or weaknesses, so no worrying about that. This is also perhaps |
| the EASIEST form. All it does is single-target damage to one ally and |
| charges attacks with his "Unholy Convergence" and then does his ultimate |
| attack (Pyramid Blast). Still, this is all very easy to deal with, |
| ESPECIALLY since Unholy Convergence takes TWO rounds to charge. |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Cannon Fire: This move will do single-target physical damage to |
| someone randomly. Not very threatening, but keep your health up |
| anyways... |
| |
| - Unholy Convergence: This is the charging move that will take place |
| before Pyramid Blast. Remember that it lasts TWO rounds, so you have |
| a round to attack and apply DEF UP (as well as heal). |
| |
| - Pyramid Blast: The Tomb's ultimate attack, after charging with |
| Unholy Convergence. Even if you guard and have DEF boost, this will |
| still do 150-200 damage. Not bad. You can heal up easily afterwards... |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Once we've destroyed the images of human sacrifice, we'll FINALLY be able
to fight SHIDO HIMSELF. Properly. Very good, let's put an end to him!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: MASAYOSHI SAMAEL SHIDO ~ |
| �� |
| |
| Shido's boss fight is... again, a multi-phase affair. Only TWO FOMRS |
| this time though. The first form is not too bad. He only attacks ONCE |
| per turn and has no specific weaknesses or resistance. |
| |
| A LOT of his attacks have a chance to cause the "Fear" status, so |
| having Makoto in this battle is EXTREMELY helpful (for Energy Shower). |
| Near the end he will also use Heat Riser, so having Ann for Dekaja is |
| also extremely helpful. A dedicated healer is also a must (as you may |
| expect by this point). |
| |
| Since you KNOW there is another phase to this fight, be SURE to pace |
| yourself and heal your SP if needed (before the second phase). Just be |
| sure to get yourself in a good place before going into the final phase, |
| which is triggered when Shido hits 1 HP. |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Tyrant's Fist: A single-target attack, thankfully. Still, this |
| definitely hurts, so you want to keep your health up. One of the |
| better attacks that you'll want him to do! |
| |
| |
| - Megidola: This move is another you've likely seen before. Megidola |
| is a hit-all almighty move, and another reason to keep your HP up. |
| |
| - Evil Touch: This is a single-target ailment move that tries to put |
| the "Fear Status" on one person. Cure it when you can so everyone can |
| fight properly! |
| |
| - Deathbound: This is a hit-all move that does heavy damage to the |
| entire party. Note that Shido starts using it at HALF health and will |
| be able to use it anytime after that. It can also put FEAR on someone, |
| so you may have to heal with the main character and energy shower with |
| Makoto. |
| |
| - Heat Riser: Shido will use this when he's near death. This move puts |
| all of his stats up (ATK,DEF,EVA,ACC), so if you can, have Ann use |
| Dekaja on him to undo this huge buff and keep on attacking to put an |
| end to him (after making sure you are OK HP and SP wise, of course!). |
| |
| |
| |
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: TRUE MASAYOSHI SAMAEL SHIDO ~ |
| �� |
| |
| This final form is something else. He restores all of his health and |
| will now get TWO actions per turn. He adds in a LOT of new moves as |
| well. Notably, he can do Ma-Dyne magic, which can hit the entire party |
| (so pray those evade moves work!). He'll start mainly with that and his |
| previous moves. |
| |
| At half health though, he'll kick it up a notch. He'll start to use |
| his two "Tyrant" moves. Tyrant's Glare gives him an EXTRA TURN and he |
| will often use it to buff himself up or debuff the party (be ready to |
| counter these). After all of that, he will usually do "Tyrant's Wave" |
| which is heavy damage to everyone (be SURE to keep your health up at |
| all times due to this)... we'll need to use quite a few "heal all" |
| spells (Mediahran) during this fight, so feed your healer a Moonlight |
| Carrot if needed. |
| |
| He will also start to use his "Severe Magic" during this last half |
| of the fight. These are single-target moves (but I've only ever seen |
| the Fire, Ice, Lighting and Wind versions). Finally, if he ever does |
| get a "1 More" he'll often use it to either use Heat Riser or Debilitate |
| on someone. |
| |
| As you can tell, stat buffing is important during this fight, and a |
| dedicated healer is a must. Ann is good for her Dekaja as well. Still, |
| Shido has no way of healing himself, so keep on the attack whenever you |
| can. Ann and Ryuji can help quite a bit with Concentrate and Charge to |
| lay on the damage. I find Makoto more useful than Morgana for a healer |
| as she's not weak to lightning AND can put DEF UP on everyone as well as |
| heal. For your main character, be sure his Persona has no weakness to |
| the main four elements and use him to attack or heal as needed. Be fluid |
| and you will have your victory before long! |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Tyrant's Fist: A single-target attack, thankfully. Still, this |
| definitely hurts, so you want to keep your health up. One of the |
| better attacks that you'll want him to do! |
| |
| |
| - Megidola: This move is another you've likely seen before. Megidola |
| is a hit-all almighty move, and another reason to keep your HP up. |
| |
| - Evil Touch: This is a single-target ailment move that tries to put |
| the "Fear Status" on one person. Cure it when you can so everyone can |
| fight properly! |
| |
| - "Ma-Dyne" Magic: Shido will use Heavy Magic attacks that hit EVERYONE. |
| Really pray for evade moves from those who are weak to the magic, as |
| we can do without the buffs (or debuffs) that come afterward. Heal up |
| if needed. If it didn't hurt you that much, focus on offense and save |
| your heal-all spell for when its needed. |
| |
| - Tyrant's Glare: This move is very simple: it gives Shido another |
| action on his turn. Very devastating. He usually uses it to buff up |
| himself, debuff us, and then ends by using "Tyrant's Wave". You'll |
| definitely need to heal and buff after all of this. He STARTS to use |
| this move at half health. I suspect he uses it again at 25% health as |
| well. Utterly devastating. |
| |
| - Buffing Spells: True Shido does a of buffing and debuffing spells. |
| He will usually use this AFTER "Tyrant's Glare". He can use Sukukaja |
| (ACC UP), Tarukaja (ATK UP) and Masukunda (ACC DOWN on everyone). I |
| wouldn't be surprised if there were more, so be ready... |
| |
| - Tyrant's Wave: This is the end of Tyrant's Glare. This attack will |
| do heavy damage to all party members. This is very dangerous when you |
| put all the buffs into account. A heal-all is needed after this for |
| sure, as well as possible buffing and de-buffing. |
| |
| - "Severe" Magic: This magic is a step up from the heavy magic. Chances |
| are this is the first time you've seen it, but we'll gain our own |
| before long. These are all single-target at least. I've only seen him |
| use "Inferno", "Diamond Dust", "Thunder Reign" and "Panta Rei" tough. |
| Pray that he doesn't target someone critical to these moves and heal |
| as needed. |
| |
| - Heat Riser: Shido will use this when he gets a "1 More". This move puts |
| all of his stats up (ATK,DEF,EVA,ACC), so if you can, have Ann use |
| Dekaja on him to undo this huge buff. |
| |
| - Debilitate: Another move he can use after "1 More" (although he can do |
| it on his own as well). This move puts all of your stats down (ATK,DEF, |
| EVA,ACC). Very debilitating, but you can buff yourself to get rid of it. |
| I would only recommend removing what you NEED to though... |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
The scenes after the fight are CRAZY. We'll get a ton of dialog as the real
life Shido tries something crazy, and then a cut-scene. Oh man... the feels!
After the scene with Ryuji and the team taking off, we'll see what happens
with Shido. The people around him will make plans, but it looks like we've
actually won. Oh wow...
After that, there's a scene at Leblanc. Now THIS one had me worried! But
it'll be like Ryuji after all! He'll describe his ordeal and will have us
help clean up. Whew...
We'll be in our room after that. Looks like they didn't do anything up
here (or we cleaned up already... who knows). We'll get a group text chat
up here. All that's left is to await the results...
We'll get two texts after that. One is one that we've been waiting on for
quite awhile. A REQUEST. Some seedy industry man named Shiro Asakura is
forcing Idols to have sex with him to move ahead. Wow... they went there,
huh?! We have to do something about him:
o REQUEST RECEIVED: The Head Honcho in Showbiz
The other text is just Mishima congratulating us on our fight. Good guy.
Sounds like the phan-site will be changing questions soon. Fun.
Let's go to sleep after that. Congrats! You did well!
We'll get a meeting with Igor tonight. Words of praise. Short and sweet.
Morgana will have another nightmare as well. Mementos isn't done being
explored, after all, so we still have that on our plate at least!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
Waiting is the hardest part, no?
Go check up on your VEGETABLES today if you haven't any time soon. Chances
are good you can harvest and plant more today.
Well... today let's head to Shibuya and meet up with YUSUKE (he's in the
Underground Walkway of course). Agree to hang out with him and then take him
to UENO, the art museum.
We won't get to see much art on this trip (a bit in the background), but
Yusuke is happy. Tell him you're "Glad he's enjoying this" (although there
is no sound in space) and you'll get the [_NUDE STATUE_] as a gift! Haha.
Can't wait to put that in my room...
We'll be back home soon. Our box with the Hunger Charm will come. Cool.
For our night, head to Shinjuku and go hang out with Chihaya. We won't get
anything out of this, but we'll be set up for later. Take her to the book
town and when asked, tell her to get "Autobiographies of Great People".
After that our day will be over...

DECEMBER 14TH (WEDNESDAY 12/14)

-------------------------------
If you check the TV this morning, they will report on "Amagi Inn", which
is a direct reference to Yukiko from Persona 4! Very nice!
Today I went to the Gym and worked out. I took the MOIST PROTEIN we bought
awhile ago and got [_HP +8_] and [_SP +5_]. Not bad at all for one workout!
We're getting used to the weights as well!
For the evening... I went to the Gym again. Heh, it's a GYM day. What can
I say! With protein I got [_HP +7_] and [_SP +4_]. This will definitely help
in the future! Hehehehe...
That's it for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 15TH (THURSDAY 12/15)

------------------------------
Hey, it's snowing today!
OK, be sure to check the TV for a question today:
o QUESTION: Giving oneself up...

A: Guarantees leniency in court
B: Can't be done by wanted men
o ANSWER: Can't be done by wanted men
Be sure to give the right answer for [_KNOWLEDGE +1_], even though I'm sure
you don't really need it by now.
After that, I went to the Gym again (although I was tempted to just spend
some time with Makoto). We'll get "used to the equipment" with the visit
today and will only get [_HP +3_] and [_SP +2_] with Protein. That's OK
though, we gotta push through it!
After that, let's head to Shinjuku again and hang out with Chihaya. Take
her to the Sky Tower today. When it comes time to pick a dialog option, pick
"Such a delicious thrill". At the end of this trip, we'll get a present from
her: a [_SKY TOWER LAMP_]. This is one of the cooler little items you can
get, I think. I like the rotating glow.
And that's it for today! On to the next day! The change of heart is coming
up (I hope!).
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 16TH (FRIDAY 12/16)

----------------------------
Well... another day, another gift!
Today let's head to the Underground Walkway and hang out with Yusuke. Take
him to Ikebukuro today and once you get a chance, tell him "I'm glad you're
better now". We'll get a gift at the end of t his trip as well (another very
cool one): some [_STAR STICKERS_]. These go over the posts in our bedroom.
Very neat. OK, for our afternoon/evening activity, I went and trained in
the Sports Gym once again. THIS time we'll be training with the training
dummy! Finally our kung-fu moves will develop!
Although we start out very awkwardly, we still get a WHOPPING [_HP +9_]
and [_SP +6_] development (with Protein Powder). This is VERY nice! That'll
be the end of today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
TODAY, you can give you plant some plant food if you wish. Use some Mega
Fertilizer for [_KINDNESS +3_] (although you may not need it).
After that, let's work towards another gift. Head to go see Haru and choose
to hang out with her. Let's take her to Tsukishima. When it comes time for a
dialog option, pick "We'll try it together". At the end of the meal (now I'm
hungry...) you'll get the [_GIANT SPATULA_] as a gift.
For our evening, let's go back to the Sports Gym (unless you have something
better to do...). Another trip with the PROTEIN powder will net us another
whopping [_HP +9_] and [_SP +6_]. Very nice! That's all for today!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
Today is all about the fallout of Shido's actions! Enjoy the scenes and
we'll get a trophy sooner or later:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Cruiser of Pride Sinks" Bronze Trophy for taking
out Shido's twisted ambition.
The group will gather at Leblanc's after that. Enjoy these scenes as well.
Quite cool indeed. Sounds like we're going back to school too. I hope Sae
is able to put this all behind us...
We'll be in our room after that:
o OBJECTIVES: Clear the False Charges
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Wait for Shido to be tried
We'll have a talk with Morgana tonight. He is down. That's sad...
After that is Shido's underlings. They are still trying to push forward
their plans. Sounds like corruption runs deep...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
We'll go back to school today. So weird! We'll learn exams are soon as well.
A great "welcome back" gift, right? We'll have a group study session today.
Lots of scenes and dialog, so enjoy today!
At the end of the study session, we'll gain [_KNOWLEDGE +3_].

For our evening activity, let's hit up the Sports Gym one more time. Take
some Protein and you'll get a whopping [_HP +9_] and [_SP +6_]. These gains
will really help us later on. That will be the end of the day.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

-----------------------------
It's exam day! You know what that means... Ooo, we can do this!
o QUESTION: Which of the following is called the Devil's curve?
o ANSWER: D.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: I think they said the voice you hear through the phone is...
o ANSWER: Not their real voice.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: But why does the listener think the synthetic voice is the
real person?
o ANSWER: They speak the same.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: Even if the voice is different, as long as they talk the same,
the listener will subconsciously...
o ANSWER: Supplement the voice.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 21ST (WEDNESDAY 12/21)

-------------------------------
Another day of exams!
o QUESTION: Which suit of cards represents the Holy Grail?

o ANSWER: Hearts.
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: Which of the following is not true about the kanji for "crow"?
o ANSWER: It includes a number.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 22ND (THURSDAY 12/22)

------------------------------
Another day, another set of questions:
o QUESTION: What country refers to a person who controls politics behind

the scenes as a "prime minister in black"?
o ANSWER: Japan
o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o
o QUESTION: What English word did the initial "do" in the Japanese "dokyuu,"
or massive, originate from?
o ANSWER: Dreadnought.
We'll have more questions after this, but it will be up to our KNOWLEDGE
score from here on out.
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) TODAY WE MUST GO INTO MEMENTOS! (-IMPORTANT NOTE-)
OK, hopefully that note got your attention! We must go into MEMENTOS and
do the last request TODAY! It will give us a trophy, so that's good. But
we still can't go deeper (we can't go past "Sheriruth" yet).
(-NOTE-) As part of "Preparing for New Game +", make sure you have all
of the TREASURE DEMONS in your Persona Compendium. These only
unlock with the story, so you don't want to have to wait on them
if you don't have to! They are:
Regent
Queen's Necklace
Stone of Scone
Koh-I-Noor
Orlov
Emperor's Amulet (Necklace)
Hope Diamond
Crystal Skull
You can find them throughout Mementos. The last ones are on the
deepest floor, and the Crystal Skull is rare. You can KIND OF game
the system here... you can RUN from a Treasure Demon encounter once
you find one and then re-engage afterward to try and force a Crystal
Skull to spawn. This takes FOREVER though, so be patient!
Once you get done...

--------------------------
o Defeated Shadow Asakura
You should also have another TROPHY from doing that last request (the
trophy note is down int he Mementos Section...).
For our evening, be SURE to get a massage from Kawakami. I also did some
LAUNDRY as well (if you have any, you may as well do some as well). I sent
to the Sports Gym once again tonight after all of that. We are getting used
to the Training Dummy though, so even with Protein you will only get a small
boost of [_HP +3_] and [_SP +2_].
That's all for today.
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 23RD (FRIDAY 12/23)

----------------------------
Today will be a BUNCH of scenes. The plot will progress at this point, as
things just... aren't right. How can this be? It's as if no one knows what
happened? Very odd.
After the scene with Sae, we'll have a team meeting back at Leblancs. Sae
will arrive soon and the group will discuss what to do, with Morgana leading
the train of though. Answer as you wish here and we'll be back in our room
soon.
Nothing to do but go to sleep. Do so and we'll have a talk with Morgana.

Ask "What's Up?" and then "Stay here forever" to get all mushy, and we'll
(finally) get our final rank up with Morgana:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse FUTSUNUSHI, the most powerful Persona of the
Magician Arcana.
Morgana's Zorro Persona will now evolve into Mercurius! It's been a long
time coming, that's for sure! Much sleeker-looking. We get the special skill
"Evade Elec" as well, which should be handy.
We'll fall asleep after that, and wake up in our prison. Igor has harsh
words for us here. Ruin is coming regardless? Not if we can help it!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

------------------------------
We'll learn we got top of the class at school today. Good for [_CHARM +3_],
in case you needed it. Not bad.
We've got other things to do today though... and today will be our final
fight. We need to change the Public's Heart!
o OBJECTIVE: Steal the Public's Heart
Head for the lowest portion of Mementos. If you've been following this guide
you should be right where you need to be. Open the final door and enter the
final Mementos Section... "Iweleth".
IWELETH: AREA 1
---------------
This may start out like a normal "Mementos Level", but head forward and
you'll see that this area is indeed like nothing we've ever seen before...
ENTRANCE
--------
Spend some time making some powerful Persona's here. It will help in the
long run. Save and fuse, then continue on. The door is locked of course, so
use the jumping points on the left to continue on.
PRISON PASSAGEWAY
-----------------
A prison? Huh... I wonder if our incarceration has anything to do with this

place. What about Morgana? Continue on and you'll get a scene as you progress
further into this Palace. This ends with a forces fight:
MINI BOSS: PAGAN SAVIOR x2
These guys aren't too hard. They like to charge up and do "God's Hand", a
move that hits for severe physical damage. Yusuke and Haru (with physical
reflect) can help here. Focus down one at a time and keep your health up
and you'll get through this easily.
We'll get a scene here. Continue on and we'll FINALLY be able to attack
the shadows as they patrol. You know what this means! We get the guide to
Persona's in this Palace!

Continue on to a large square area. Kill the enemies here and talk to the
man in the upper right. Huh. After that interact with the console in the
upper left. We'll get some dialog here and will have to interact with it
like three times, but eventually we can head SOUTH and turn the floor BLUE.
This will start a puzzle.
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) These directions are in relation to the DEFAULT VIEW

once you use the puzzle console.
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: SOUTH (you are here already), SOUTH, EAST, NORTH, EAST
NORTH, WEST, WEST.
1ST PUZZLE!
(S, S, E, N, E, N, W, W)
We'll be attacked automatically once we solve that puzzle, so be ready for

it! Continue to the north, attacking the enemies here (there's a few of them).
Once you've cleared them out you can get the CHEST to the upper left for the
[_HOMUNCULUS_] item. Sweet.
Continue to the east, kill the enemy and talk to the man in the cage if you
wish, then go through the door.
We're still in the same area... despite a loading screen. Huh. Work your
way down step by step and BEFORE you go down to the last step, note the two
enemies below. You can ambush one of them from above, so do so and kill the
other one. There's a number of people to talk to down, so talk to them if
you wish and continue on to find another terminal. Puzzle time.
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: SOUTH (turns blue floor white), SOUTH, SOUTH, NORTH,
NORTH, SOUTH, NORTH, EAST, WEST, NORTH
2ND PUZZLE!
(S, S, S, N, N, S, N, E, W, N)
Continue on and talk to the young man if you wish, then jump down. There is
an enemy up ahead, but hide using the corners and take him out. There's a
couple more enemies up ahead, so use the corners here and take them out one
by one. After that is a long section of nothing, but soon you'll have to do
another "Blue Floor" puzzle:
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: SOUTH, SOUTH, EAST, SOUTH, NORTH, WEST, NORTH, EAST,
WEST, NORTH
3RD PUZZLE!
(S, S, E, S, N, W, N, E, W, N)
Solve the puzzle and continue on to the next area.
CAVERNOUS VOID
--------------
This area is really just for show. Head onward and admire the scenery and
then choose to "Go Down". We'll have Morgana's help going down to the next
area:
PRISON PASSAGEWAY 2
-------------------
Head forward into this area for a number of scenes. We'll re-unite with
some familiar faces. They are ALL different. This is weird for sure. Morgana
will start to remember more. He's BEEN here. That is for sure.
We'll be interrupted by guards after that. Once they catch up to you, just
go ahead and ATTACK. These enemies are random, as I was able to try and RECRUIT
them, so this isn't a standard fixed-fight. They are likely enemies you've been
fighting already.
Continue on and fight the shadows up ahead. There's nothing to hide behind,
so you'll need to watch them and run behind them in order to get an ambush in
but it shouldn't be too hard.
Go up the stairs after that and make your way north. Open the door here and
continue. HIDE at the corner when the path goes to the right as an enemy is
patrolling and we can ambush him. We can also ambush the enemy that was to
the north (the red glowing one... have MONA ready with wind attacks) by
jumping over to them.
Continue to the right. Use the corner at the path split to ambush an enemy
from the north and kill the one to the east after that. There's another person
to talk to here and another area to jump over, with a guard to the north. I
would take the pathway to kill him. Easier. Continue north after that and we
have to drop down as we go. Continue to the far north for a CHEST in the
corner with a [_BEAD CHAIN_] in it before heading west.
To the far west is a person in a cage that Futaba can relate to, but we'll
have to go back slightly and go south after that. Jump the gaps and ambush
the enemy from the upper level when you can, then continue south and we'll be
in a new (but same) area.
Go straight ahead and talk to the person in the cell, then use the various
platforms to go west. Try to ambush the enemy you find from above when you
can before heading west to a hallway. There is a SAFE ROOM here you can use,
so be sure to head there for healing/saving:
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Passageway
OK, now that we've saved, exit the Safe House and head south. To the west
is a Persona guarding... something. Let's go take him out!
MINI BOSS: ABYSSAL KING OF AVARICE
This boss isn't too hard as long as you remember one thing: do NOT attack
him with physical attacks. Instead, put DEF DOWN on him and use -dyne attacks
to take him out. He takes enhanced damage, but if you use Ann (concentrate)
or someone with AMP (I had THOR with ELEC AMP) he will fall quickly. For his
part he uses physical attacks on the party, so put DEF up and have someone
heal each round to get through this easily.
Go examine the shining disk after you defeat him for the [_VERMILION DISK_].
Key item sign. This is good! Head back to the Safe Room and go north, killing
the enemy in your way. As you head north, examine the center area to find a
place you can USE the disk at! Go ahead and put it in! This gap will help us
out with the upcoming puzzle, which you can use the console to the north to
start:
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: SOUTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST (into gap), EAST, NORTH, WEST,
WEST, SOUTH, SOUTH, EAST, EAST, NORTH, NORTH, WEST,
NORTH.
4TH PUZZLE!
(S, E, S, W, E, N, W, W, S, S, E, E, N, N, W, N)
Continue on to the next area after that puzzle...
CAVERNOUS VOID 2
----------------
Once again, this area is really just for show. Head onward and admire the
scenery and then choose to "Go Down". We'll have Morgana's help going down
to the next area:
PRISON PASSAGEWAY 3
-------------------
Head forward and we'll get more scenes. This is becoming routine at this
point, isn't it? After the dialog (Morgana is remembering more and more!)
we will be ambushed.
MINI BOSS: MISSIONARY OF DEPRAVITY & WANDERING REVIVER x2
This fight isn't too hard. The two voodoo ladies are weak to BLESS attacks
so take them out first and then focus on the dragon. This can be rough, so
be sure to keep your health up (heal every round if you have to) and soon
you'll be down to just the Dragon. Stay away from fire attacks and use your
physical skills and electric/ice attacks. The dragon will use fire attacks as
well as physical attacks while the revivers buff and attack. Watch out for the
brainwash status in this fight as well and cure it ASAP.
OK, after the fight we are free to explore. Continue north and kill the
enemy patrolling over here. This path leads east and up to a BIG area, but
there are a LOT of enemies here. Take them out one by one. They give very
good experience and are often new enemies you can recruit (we should level up
a lot by taking each of them on). There's two people on the edges you can talk
to as well.
Continue to the west and kill two more enemies in the small square area (you
can talk to a person to the south and west after that). Continue north and
NOTE the area you can walk on to the north (its not on the map). After that,
interact with the console and we'll have to do another puzzle to continue on.
This one is (just about) the easiest one yet:
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: SOUTH, SOUTH, EAST, EAST, NORTH, NORTH, WEST, WEST.
5TH PUZZLE!
(S, S, E, E, N, N, W, W)
Continue to the east after the puzzle and kill the enemy over here and then
move on to the next area.
We're in a large area now. Head north and note the middle area here. We need
another DISK, so skip this for now and head north. Kill the enemy here and
head east after that, hitting the console (NOTE the GAPS in this area s well...
it took me a couple tries to even notice them! Heh).
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: EAST, EAST (GAP), EAST, SOUTH, NORTH, SOUTH, WEST, WEST
WEST (GAP), WEST, NORTH, EAST.
6TH PUZZLE!
(E, E (gap), E, S, N, S, W, W, W (gap), W, N, E)
OK, with the puzzle solved we can go north and grab the [_VERMILION DISK_]
which is exactly what we needed. Head back south now and use it on the middle
console to open up the middle area. Now interact with the west console to start
the next puzzle.
This puzzle will have the CONSOLE to your LEFT when you start it (I moved
the camera before writing down the solution... so this works!).
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: EAST (GAP), EAST, WEST, WEST, NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH,
SOUTH, WEST, WEST, NORTH
7TH PUZZLE!
(E (gap), E, W, W, N, E, E, S, S, W, W, N)
Continue on to the next area now...
Which is a continuation of this area. Fun. The area they drop us off in is
FULL of enemies. Three of them. Take them out one by one and we can continue
north to a LARGE area.
OK, there are three consoles in this area to interact with. That means...
MULTIPLE puzzles...
Let's start with the EAST CONSOLE.
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: EAST, SOUTH, NORTH, WEST, WEST, EAST, EAST, WEST
8TH PUZZLE! (E, S, N, W, W, E, E, W)
OK, now let's do the WESTERN CONSOLE (the southern one). This one is
SUPER easy:
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: WEST, WEST, SOUTH, SOUTH, EAST, EAST, NORTH, NORTH
9TH PUZZLE! (W, W, S, S, E, E, N, N)
OK, that leaves one last console to the north. Let's do it:
BLUE FLOOR SOLUTION: WEST, SOUTH, NORTH, SOUTH, SOUTH, SOUTH, WEST, NORTH,
NORTH, NORTH, EAST, EAST
10TH PUZZLE! (W, S, N, S, S, S, W, N, N, N, E, E)
OK, the security is now disabled. Very nice. Head north and you'll find
another safe room!
o FAST TRAVEL UNLOCKED: Lower Passageway
Continue on to reach the next area...
SHRINE
------
This area is the final depths. Head forward and we'll trigger a scene.
Quite a bit of dialog here of course, so enjoy the story and soon we'll be
in a boss fight...
Now... NORMALLY I would put in a boss box for the fight, but... this is an
un-winnable battle. We are meant to lose this fight. The "TREASURE OF MEMENTOS?"
only has TWO possible moves it will do. One is a single-target attack called the
"Arrow of Light" and the other is the reason we can't win this fight: it's heal
move, called "Will of the People".
The people... WANT this thing to win. We can do nothing. Just keep your health
up and keep attacking. The boss will change color over time as we damage it and
as it heals and soon the fight will be over...
There's a lot of scenes after this "fight". Go ahead and enjoy them.
There's even a cut-scene. Oh wow. The scenes here are... very depressing.
The public wishes us to be gone? Insane...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
Soon you'll be back in prison with Igor. Ask him "What happened?" here, then
"Ruin?". We'll then be sentenced to execution. It seems the twins are confused
about this as well. Continue on and say "Are you serious?" and before they
try to execute you pick "Where are my temmates?".
We're not about to go down without a fight though!
There's not much you can do against the Twins in this fight. We just sort-of
endure. After a few rounds we'll get some scenes. "Caroline & Justine" will
remember their true purpose... and eventually will defy "Igor?" and ask us
to fuse them...
They will come out as "Lavenza", our true warden, who was torn asunder by
the fake Igor...
Igor still has words of praise for us though, as we did not disappoint him
with how far we have come. This actually gives us our last rank up with him
believe it or not:
.'��'.
| �� |
| |
| |
| |
| NEW ABILITY: MAX ARCANA BURST |
| |
| Greatly increases the EXP bonus granted by |
| Arcana Burst. |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
(-NOTE-) You can now fuse VISHNU, the most powerful Persona of the Fool
Arcana.
(-NOTE-) If you've maxed out all Confidant Ranks up to this point, getting
this Confidant Rank will net you the "Great Phantom Thieves Convene"
Gold Trophy! Congrats!
Igor will now attempt to make a deal with us. He offers to return the world
to how it was... but what about the people.
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) This is an IMPORTANT choice. You can pick "Very well..."
here for an EARLY ENDING.
To get the TRUE ENDING of the game though, you MUST PICK
"I refuse". This guide will continue on, assuming that
you picked that choice!
(-IMPORTANT NOTE END-)
Refuse (Lavenza has our back) and the God of Control will leave us. The
REAL Igor will re-appear now. Wow... we've gone the entire game and we're
just now meeting with him...
We will convince us to find our teammates and face ruin with them by our
side. We've got to find our partners!
???
---
The cell has been opened...
o OBJECTIVE: Rescue your teammates
We need to leave the Velvet Room and go find our teammates. We can't do
this without them. They are scattered around this area. Each time you find
them, you will have a few dialog options and some touching dialog. They will
each stay behind by their cells until you find everyone.
To the left you can find Futaba and Ryuji. To the right you can find Makoto
and Yusuke. In the far back you can find Ann and Haru. Once you've found each
of them and released them (once again...), head back to the Velvet room for
some more scenes (and to find Morgana).
We'll have a group meeting with Igor and Lavenza here as we talk about what
we can do and the chances we have. Hope is not gone yet, and we have it with
us! Follow Morgana as we mount one last attack!
SHIBUYA STATION SQUARE

----------------------
After a scene showing Morgana's Hope, we'll start to be acknowledged again.

We... we can do this can't we? As soon as you regain control and that song
starts up, you'll know the answer...
o OBJECTIVE: Steal Malevolent God's Heart
o SUB-OBJECTIVE: Head for the Temple
(-NOTE-) You can visit LAVENZA here to heal up your HP and SP party-wide
at any time. A great help, for sure!
Continue up the ramp to start the final journey...
PATH TO THE HOLY GRAIL

----------------------
Head upwards and check to the right for a CHEST for an [_OVER GUARD_]. You
likely have better armor, however. Check to the west as well to jump over a
gap and find a CHEST with a [_KONGOU OFUDA_]. You can jump down with a prompt
nearby. Push north to come to your first challenge:
MINI BOSS: HERALD OF DEATH
This boss is fairly easily. I'd recommend going in with Ryuji and Ann, with
Morgana or Makoto for healing. You can Charge and Concentrate with Ryuji and
Ann respectively and REALLY hurt him like that. For his part he will summon
in "Zealous Messenger" enemies (that are weak to Curse), will use Deathbound,
and Megidola (as well as attack regularly). Just heal when needed and pour
on the damage on the Herald to take him down, then clean up after that.
Remember that Lavenza has our back so go all out with the SP with no worries!
Note that you can head back to get HEALED by Lavenza if you wish, then head
forward to the next area.
This area will begin to have ENEMIES walking around, which means we can
recruit new and different personas! Which means we need a guide!

PATH TO THE HOLY GRAIL 2

------------------------
OK, we can go MULTIPLE ways in this area. Left or right, up and down. There
is NO treasure but lots of small landmasses to visit and enemies to kill. I
HIGHLY recommend fighting in this area for awhile. Get used to the enemies,
capture who you can, level up, fuse, etc... remember you can GO BACK to
Lavenza to get healed, so this should be FREE GRINDING TIME!
Once you are ready to push forwards, head to the NORTH and in the round
area we'll have to fight a mini boss once more:
MINI BOSS: CLEANSER OF HEAVEN
This fight isn't too bad. The Cleanser of Heaven has quite a rigid
moveset. He will usually do "Heat Riser" followed by "Charge". After that
he will used Sword Dance to do 400+ damage to someone and then attack. He
will then repeat.
What you can do to help yourself is have Ann use Dekaja on him to undo
his stat buffs. From there, I would have someone heal while Ann and Ryuji
use Concentrate/Charge to pour on the damage (Ryuji more so than Ann since
Ann has to debuff). Be SURE to put someone with physical resist on your
main character (like Thor) so he can't get one-shot, then keep that up to
take him out.
Continue on to the next area after the scenes. We are definitely making
progress!

------------------------
Jump down to the path but watch out for the enemy here. You'll have to go
left or right from here to get further, but watch for enemies on the half
circle landmass (there's one on each side). Continue north and kill the
enemy to see we have to jump to either side.
Which side doesn't matter, so pick one (the left side has an enemy, though).
Kill it and explore both sides if you wish, then head north to the circular
area. We'll face another tough fight here (well... "tough".... just be sure
to bring in Ryuji and Yusuke like I mention below):
MINI BOSS: DECLARER OF ANGUISH
This boss is fairly easy compared to the last couple. She attacks twice
like the others, but her "Divine Judgement" attack can't kill you. It does
50% of your HP as damage instead, so it hurts for sure, but not a threat.
It will follow up that with Maziodyne and Mabufudyne, so having Yusuke and
Ryuji will help a ton.
Put ACC/EVA up with Yusuke and Charge and Attack with Ryuji. Heal with
Makoto and do whatever you wish with your main character (I used Ziodyne
with Thor). That alone should be enough to win this fight for you! Just
keep your health up and keep attacking and since the Declarer of Anguish
can't do much to most of our team we'll have her beat in no time!
More scenes as more of the population is freed. Let's continue!

------------------------
Whew, this place is turning into a slog!
There are two enemies in this area: one to the left, one to the right.
Take them out and check the chests. The left one has a [_SOMA_] for us
while the right has an [_EMPATHY CAPE_].
OK, make sure you are healed up (HP and SP) and then proceed forward for
another fight (and another archangel). I used Yusuke, Makoto and Ryuji for
this fight, just FYI:
MINI BOSS: APOCALYPTIC GUIDE
THIS archangel is... like an amalgamation of all the previous ones! It

uses all of their moves and attacks twice per turn. It will start out by
summoning angels, so use CURSE to take them out and have everyone else put
on buffs (DEF and EVA). Don't worry about SP in this fight, by the way!
From there the boss will use Charge and Sword Dance (pray for a dodge!),
Divine Judgement and Cosmic Flare (Nuke Damage) and then Debilitate and
Megidolan.
For our part, once we are buffed, charge with Ryuji and use your heavy
physical attacks with him and Yusuke. Heal with Makoto and have your main
character buff or heal (or attack if neither of those is needed). Heal all
each round so you can keep using heavy physical attacks and the guide will
fall after several rounds. Be SURE to prioritize any angels that come after
the first ones as they can HEAL him.
OK, after that fight we'll have a mini-miracle. This area we are standing in
the "Shrine Entrance" will turn into a SAFE ROOM. This means we can bo back
to the start and have Lavenza heal us. Perfect!
(-NOTE-) This is a GREAT time to make some new Persona's by the way. Get
some with strong physical, mental, and healing skills. We have our
toughest fight yet to come you know!
Once you are ready... head back to the "Shrine Entrance" and continue. We
are about to face the game's TRUE final boss...
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: HOLY GRAIL ~ |
| �� |
| |
| So, we must fight the Holy Grail once again. This time will be |
| different though, for sure! As a VERY IMPORTANT side note though, note |
| that this is NOT the final boss, so save your best items. Persona games |
| always feature tougher opponents than this! |
| |
| We will be able to send someone out to cut the cables during this |
| fight, which is what will allow us to win. Send someone right away (I |
| sent Yusuke). Once the cables are cut this is a very easy fight, but as |
| usual when you send someone, you MUST keep attacking hard to distract |
| the boss. Two on attack, one on healing. |
| |
| The Holy Grail adds two new attacks once you cut the cables, but can |
| no longer heal itself. Still, with a dedicated healer and well-timed |
| guarding, this fight will be a piece of cake. |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Light Edge: This is a hit-all almighty attack. It can definitely |
| hurt, so be ready to heal up afterward. Probably its second-most |
| dangerous attack. |
| |
| - Arrow of Light: You've seen this move before. This is the move we |
| want to see. A single-target ranged attack. Doesn't do too much |
| damage. You can probably get away with not healing for that round. |
| |
| - Diffraction Arrow: This is an odd move. It will be like a "Scatter |
| Arrow" (I've been playing too much Overwatch apparently). It will |
| hit 2-3 party members and has a chance to cause the "Forget" status, |
| so be ready to heal that so you can use your Personas again. |
| |
| - Gathering Light: This move is only done AFTER the cables are cut. |
| This is the Holy Grail charging up, so be sure to GUARD after it does |
| so. Sacrifice someone for healing if needed and revive afterward... |
| |
| - Eternal Light: The ultimate attack for the Holy Grail. This move |
| will do about 200+ damage even when everyone is guarding. Nothing we |
| can't handle! Heal up afterward and keep on the attack! |
| |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
Naturally, there's a LOT of scenes after that fight. Tons of dialog and
plot advancement, so enjoy.
However, we will soon after to face the FINAL BOSS in the game (or well,
his final form anyways). We've got this!
.'��'.
| ~ BOSS ENCOUNTER: GOD OF CONTROL, YALDABAOTH ~ |
| �� |
| |
| Here we are, the final boss fight! As a reminder, ESPECIALLY since |
| this is an RPG, be sure to utilize your stock of items. Items like SOMA |
| and other powerful, rare items were made for this moment and can swing |
| the battle easily! Why hold on to them? |
| |
| This fight is going to be a long slog. I have no doubt you will run |
| out of SP, so hopefully you can use items to help you here. This fight |
| is against Yaldabaoth of course, but he also will bring out various |
| "Arms" that we'll need to defeat as well. There is also a distinctive |
| "Seven Sins" theme to this fight, as Yaldabaoth condemns human's "deadly |
| sins". We'll see seven of them, so pay attention as the fight progresses |
| as it helps gauge where we are at. First, here are the arms that will |
| be pulled out. Note that each one has its own resistances! |
| |
| |
| o "Gun of Execution" - Repels GUN and WIND attacks. |
| o "Bell of Declaration" - Repels FIRE attacks. |
| o "Sword of Conviction" - Blocks PHYSICAL and ELECTRICAL attacks. |
| o "Book of Commandments" - Repels NUKE and ICE attacks. |
| |
| |
| The BEST thing you can do during this fight is use hit-all moves when |
| the arms start showing up. Ma-Dyne magic, hit-all physical attacks... |
| anything you can do to damage an arm AND the main boss. It is spendy on |
| the HP and SP fronts, but if you do this you can take out the arms BEFORE |
| Yaldabaoth pull sout another one (giving the boss less moves overall in |
| the battle). |
| |
| As you go through the arms, Yaldabaoth will start to RESUMMON them |
| at half health (this is so he can finish getting the seven sins out of |
| the way). Keep attacking them but once they start to be re-summoned, |
| focus HEAVILY on Yaldabaoth. Charge and Concentrate Ryuji and Ann and |
| start to really lay into the boss. The reason for this is because once |
| the seven sins are out of the way, the boss will start to do his "Divine |
| Apex" move, which is his ultimate attack. If we've been laying on the |
| damage to the main body, we have a chance to finish him off here once |
| he starts this move... |
| |
| Go ahead and read through the boss moves below. Don't be afraid to use |
| items and keep the healing and buffing up. This is the final boss |
| battle, so go all out and take this "God of Control" down! |
| |
| |
| BOSS MOVES: |
| |
| - Arrow of Light: You've seen this move before. This is the move we |
| want to see. A single-target ranged attack. Doesn't do too much |
| damage. You can probably get away with not healing for that round. |
| |
| buff if you need to. Putting DEF up is greatly advised for this fight |
| as well, but ACC and ATK every now and then is good too. |
| |
| - Divine Apex: Now THIS is the ultimate attack of Yaldabaoth. He will |
| pull out ALL OF HIS ARMS and begin to charge (after a short speech). |
| He will charge for TWO turns. Like I mentioned above, if you focus on |
| the boss, you can likely take him out NOW. You'll need ATK up and to |
| put all your effort into him! If not, put DEF UP on and guard. This |
| move can do EXTREME damage but is survive-able. Futaba may also help |
| us out here (if you leveled her Confidant Level) and our team mates |
| may also withstand the attack. If you must guard, do so with a Persona |
| that has the "Enduring Soul" skill (if possible). |
| |
| |
| GUN OF EXECUTION: |
| |
| - Distorted Lust: This move CHARMS a party member. It is a special move |
| from the "Gun of Execution" so we can't undo it, unfortunately. You may |
| lose a turn here, but try to buff if you can when someone gets hit by |
| this. It wears off shortly. |
| |
| - Distorted Avarice: This is another "Gun of Execution" / Seven Sins |
| move. This one only comes out AFTER the gun has been re-summoned. |
| It will deal heavy damage to one target (I suspect half damage, no |
| matter what...) and put hunger on them. Now, this status you CAN get |
| rid of. Do so when you can. |
| |
| - Capital Punishment: This is another "Gun of Execution" attack. Fairly |
| simple: just a single heavy gun attack to one party member. Straight |
| damage. With your health up, it shouldn't be that threatening. |
| |
| - Shoot Up: This is another "Gun of Execution" attack. A bit stronger |
| than Capital Punishment. The gun targets EVERYONE and does two hits |
| on them (for lower damage). Still not very threatening, but can lead |
| to danger if you're not careful. |
| |
| |
| BELL OF DECLARATION: |
| |
| - Distorted Vanity: This move is like the one you saw with Madarame: |
| it will make you weak to ALL affinities. Only comes out when you see |
| the "Bell of Declaration". Best to guard when you are in this state. |
| At least it only affects ONE party member! |
| |
| - Distorted Envy: This is another "Bell of Declaration" / Seven Sins |
| move. This one only comes out AFTER the bell has been re-summoned. |
| This move is REALLY odd. If someone is jealous they will attack |
| any party member who HELPS someone else. Buffs and healing are out |
| but still heal-all if needed. If you can get away with it, hold off |
| until the jealousy disappears... |
| |
| - Gospel: This is a move from the "Bell of Declaration". Another single |
| target damage move. Again, not too much of a threat as long as the |
| boss isn't getting too many turns and your HP is up. |
| |
| - Frail Law: This move is a fancy-sounding debuff! The bell will put |
| DEF DOWN on everyone (Marakunda), so be ready to put DEF UP after |
| this move (we do NOT want to leave DEF DOWN on!). |
| |
| |
| SWORD OF CONVICTION: |
| |
| - Distorted Gluttony: This move is one of the most annoying. It is done |
| by the "Sword of Conviction" and will DOUBLE the cost of our SP, which |
| is just so very bad. I chose to use up all my SP when this happened and |
| used an item to restore it all once the debuff wore off. Worth it! |
| |
| - Sword of Judgement: A "Sword of Conviction" attack. This move will |
| sweep across the party and damage everyone for moderate damage. Be |
| sure to heal up if necessary! |
| |
| - Wind Cutter: Another "Sword of Conviction" attack. This one has the |
| sword rise in the air and then do severe damage to a single target. |
| Around 200 damage. You'll need to make sure you're OK after this one! |
| |
| |
| BOOK OF COMMANDMENTS: |
| |
| - Distorted Wrath: This is a "Book of Commandments" move and will put |
| one of our allies into a rage. Much like berserk. It wears off over |
| time, but we get to use our Persona. Best to buff with this target |
| until it wears off. |
| |
| - Distorted Pride: This is another "Book of Commandments" / Seven Sins |
| move. This one only comes out AFTER the book has been re-summoned. |
| This move is definitely a pain in the ass, but a blessing in disguise |
| as well. While this move is in effect, the book will counter ANYTHING |
| we throw at it. Use this time to buff up and heal. If you need to |
| restore SP, this is the time as well. |
| |
| - Wrath of God: Another "Book of Commandments" move. This one is pretty |
| simple though: it just does single-target damage. Unless you are LOW |
| on health, this shouldn't be a deadly move. |
| |
| - Agidyne: A fairly NORMAL move. The book will use Agidyne on a single |
| target. It will try to target Yusuke if it can. Heal up if needed |
| and keep attacking! |
| |
| - Divine Punishment: This move will suck out ALL of your SP for one |
| party member. A truly annoying attack. You will likely need to waste |
| a turn to restore that SP if you get hit by this. |
| |
| |
'.__________________________________________________________________________.'
We'll be blasted away once we defeat the boss. All of that work though! Gah!
Watch the scenes as the team guesses at his reasoning and then gets, well...
blasted a couple times.
Enjoy the upcoming scenes as all of our Confidants we've made throughout
the year spur the people on and give us hope. There's a bunch of good scenes
here. After spending SO MUCH TIME with all of them, it's hard not to let this
get to you.
The hope will reach the Phantom Thieves as Akira breaks free from his chains
of captivity and summons his greatest power. Fire the Sinful Shell and put an
end to this!
(-NOTE-) You will gain the "The True Trickster" Bronze Trophy here for
officially completing Mementos! Congrats!
There's a LOT of scenes here... enjoy them!
One thing I didn't see coming, was Sae's request to us after everyone has
left. She'll ask us to be the ultimate sacrifice... in order to save our
teammates and make sure Shido gets put away.
You know what to do...

Before we turn ourselves in though, you will likely get a message from
your significant other. Personally, Makoto asked me to come hang out, so
accept and Sae will let you have the night off. You will even get a gift
from this hang-out: a [_WRISTWATCH_]. I'll definitely miss her...
Our long day will finally come to an end....
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'

----------------------------
So... we've turned ourself in...
Watch the scenes here as everyone learns and doesn't accept it. Very
touching! I wonder what they can do? We'll see Akira being interrogated
after that. Answer as you will and the days will advance quickly after that!
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
DECEMBER 31ST (SATURDAY 12/31)

------------------------------
We'll get a cool New Years Eve cutscene here. Seems like our teammates have
a plan, but we'll just have to wait and see. More days will pass automatically
after that.
(-NOTE-) We are at the end of the game. We'll just keep tracking the days
under this "December" month for now until the game is over. No
reason for a new month banner...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
JANUARY 1ST - JANUARY 31ST

--------------------------
We'll get a lot of scenes through this month. They are scattered throughout
the month and based on the Confidant's we've spent time with. Each date will
show one of our allies doing what they can for us.
Very touching stuff. At the end, we'll have a final meeting in the Velvet
Room. We'll get "The World" here, signifying we've completed our goal according
to Igor as the room disappears since we no longer have need of its services...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
FEBRUARY 13TH (MONDAY 2/13)

---------------------------
We'll get a visit from Sae here. She'll give us some good news. Answer
however you wish and then you'll hear the other piece of good news. So...
our teammates tracked that woman down and Shido confessed. Huh...
Sae will continue to express her gratitude. Answer however you wish again
here and Sae will eventually get us out...
We'll get a cutscene after this. Very cool! Sojiro tries to act cool here,
doesn't he? Heh. We'll get more dialog after the scene and then another
animated cut-scene of us going back to Leblanc.
Enjoy the reunion scenes here. More than one reunion, actually. Very heart
warming. This is how things should be. The team will have a party and we'll
have some more scenes before bed. It's good to be back...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.

FEBRUARY 14TH (TUESDAY 2/14)

----------------------------
Today is all about Valentines Day. A special stop by today just for that!
How nice of the game!
How today goes is largely dependant on... how faithful you were. If you
romanced more than one girl, today will be very painful. If not, you will
get a gift.
Personally, I got to spend time with Makoto today. No need to have me tell
you to pick whatever dialog options you wish. I also got [_MAKOTO'S CHOCOLATE_]
for being with her. Very nice!
Enjoy your time together, lover...

MARCH 19TH (SUNDAY 3/19)

------------------------
Today we'll get the day to go around and say goodbye to everyone...
We have mostly free reign of the map today, but we can't really do anything
unless it is to meet up with one of our Confidants.
Start out at Leblanc's and talk to Futaba. She'll give us the [_PROMISE LIST_]
and state she's going to High School soon. Very cool. Talk to Sojiro next for
the [_RECIPE NOTES_]. He's committed them to memory...
Head outside now. You'll likely get a text from your girlfriend, if you have
one (ignore it for now). Nearby is Sae. Talk to her for the [_BUSINESS CARD_],
then go see Takemi for the [_DOG TAG_].
Next, I responded to Makoto (this may not be something you can do), but she
is in the Aoyama-Itchome Subway. Talk to her for the [_BUCHI CALCULATOR_].
Let's head to Shujin Academy next. At the school gate you can meet up with
Kawakami to get the [_UNLIMITED SERVICE_] item. Very nice of her. Head to
Shinjuku next. Talk to Chihaya for the [_FORTUNE TAROT CARD_], a very fitting
item for her. Be sure to visit CROSSROADS after that to say goodbye to Lala
and Ohya. Ohya will give us her [_INTERVIEW NOTES_].
Once we're done there let's head to Akihabara next. Go to the Arcade first
to see Shinya for his [_GUN CONTROLLER_]. Head outside and to the south to
go see Mishima. He'll give us his [_DOCUMENTARY PLANS_]. Lavenza is nearby
as well. Be sure to talk to her for the [_CELL KEY_]. If only we had this
earlier, right!?
Head to KANDA next so we can see Hifumi. She'll give us a [_KOSHA PIECE_].
After that we have a WHOLE BUNCH of people to see in Shibuya. Let's start
with the Shibuya Underground Walkway. Yusuke will give us one of the best
gifts here: the [_DESIRE AND HOPE_] painting. Head up to the Mall now to see
Ann and you'll get the [_FASHION MAGAZINE_].
Head up again to the Station Square. Yoshida is up here. He'll reminisce

with us and give us a [_FOUNTAIN PEN_]. To remind us not to be like him.
Head to the Airsoft Shop now and talk to Iwai, who considers us family now
and gives us his [_GECKO PIN_].
Head outside now (Lavenza is here, if you need her) and head to Big Bang
Burger. Haru is nearby. Talk to her for the [_DYED HANDKERCHIEF_]. Finally,
we have our first friend. Ryuji. He is at the arcade nearby, so head in and
talk to him for the [_SPORTS WATCH_].
Once you are done, head back to Leblanc's. Confirm that you are done with
your goodbyes here (it takes a couple times) and Morgana will give us one
last gift: [_MORGANA'S SCARF_].
Head inside and watch the scenes. Tomorrow will come soon...
,---'\____________________________________________________________________/`---.
`---./��\,---'
MARCH 20TH (MONDAY 3/20)
------------------------
Today is the day we leave. Watch the scenes with Sojiro and head out. We
will have an animated cut-scene and several scenes after that. Enjoy as we
watch our departure.
The world, my friends, is what we make of it. Spend time with those you
love and stay true to yourself above all. What better way to be a Phantom
Thief of Hearts?
(-NOTE-) You will gain the "A New Journey" Gold Trophy here for seeing the
ending of the game! Congratulations, Trickster. We just took one
wild ride together...
~ FIN
(-NOTE-) If you load your clear data, you will be able to inherit some of
your progress on a new playthrough. Please be careful, as you will
not be able to resume from where you left off if you overwrite data.

This area is for helping you out with MEMENTOS, but be aware of the important
note below here. Still, hopefully this section of the guide will help you out,
particularly with requests and knowing where to find what persona's...
(-IMPORTANT NOTE-) MEMENTOS is a randomly generated dungeon. Therefore,

actually navigating you through this area is very much
impossible. Thank you for noting this!

MEMENTOS ENTRANCE
-----------------
Our first time entering here we will get a tutorial about its navigation.
It is pretty much the same as palaces, so you'll feel right at home...
TUTORIAL - MEMENTOS NAVIGATION:

.-��
|
| You can quick travel within Mementos. Open the map with the R1 button,
| select Mementos Overview, and choose where you want to go.
|
| This can only be done in certain locations, such as the Mementos
| entrance and the train platforms at the end of each area.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Morgana will also give us some [_GOHO-M x2_]. This item lets us return to
the entrance automatically. Very handy. We also get a tutorial on how weather
affects this area:
TUTORIAL - BAD WEATHER:

.-��
|
| On days with bad weather like rain, Mementos will be more dangerous.
| However, this is also a chance to get extra items.
|
| Enemy reinforcements will be more common, but sometimes they will be
| rare enemies.
|
| Also, the items you find may be more valuable, and there will be a
| greater number of chests. Make good use of these chances.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
OK, onto the first area!

PERSONA LIST:

You will get a tutorial here about the reaper. For now, do your best to
avoid it and don't go AFK!
TUTORIAL - THE REAPER:

.-��
|
| If you spend too much time in one area of Mementos, a frightening
| Shadow called The Reaper may appear.
|
| The Reaper is extremely powerful; engaging it in battle is not
| advised. If you hear the sound of chains, leave the area immediately.
|

None of our requests are in this area, so go through it and get as much
treasure as you can. Continue on to the next section when you can find it!

PERSONA LIST:
Kodama
AIYATSBUS: AREA 2
-----------------
PERSONA LIST:
Agathion
Slime
Kodama
Regent (RARE)
We will find one of our marks here: Daisuke Takanashi. Be sure to enter his
area and take him out.
MINI BOSS: SHADOW TAKANASHI
Takanashi takes on the form of Jack Frost here. He actually dies easily
enough with physical attacks alone, but he isn't weak to fire (huh...).
Well, just beat on him and he'll die in a couple of turns flat. He has the
move "Lucky Punch" which may get you randomly and give him a free turn, as
well as some status moves, but you are much stronger.
We will learn about a bigger bully after we take him down, as well as gain
some [_PROTEIN_]. Good job everyone! One request complete!
o REQUEST COMPLETED: The Bark and Bite of a Bully
AIYATSBUS: AREA 3
-----------------
PERSONA LIST:
Obariyon
Kelpie
AIYATSBUS: AREA 4 (REST)

------------------------
We get our first rest room here, which comes with a tutorial.
TUTORIAL - WAITING ROOMS:

.-��
|
| You will occasionally find Waiting Rooms in Mementos. Just like
| Safe Rooms, you can QUICK TRAVEL and save your game from there.
|
`-.-------------------------------------------------------------------------'
AIYATSBUS: AREA 5
-----------------
PERSONA LIST:
Obariyon
Andras
Berith
Archangel
(-NOTE-) This boss was fought on SEPTEMBER 6TH. Look into the guide above
to make sure you have info on how to spawn this MINI BOSS inside
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW SAKODA
This boss is really easy, considering how late we're going after it in this
guide. You should be able to just rush him. He does BLOCK ICE though, so
don't use that and you'll be OK.
After the fight, we'll get to talk to him. Tell him "You lost because you're
weak" here and he'll come around. We'll get a [_EVIL SNOW CRYSTAL_] for all
of our trouble (a key item for fusion later on).
o REQUEST COMPLETED: One Who Bullies Bullies
Let's continue on!
AIYATSBUS: AREA 6
-----------------
PERSONA LIST:
Obariyon
Andras
Berith
Archangel
We have another mark in this area somewhere. Kazuya Makigami. Be sure to

find out where he is hiding and then go in and confront him!
(-NOTE-) This quest is based off of the PERSONA 5 ANIMATION: THE DAY
BREAKERS. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out. You
can find it online for free.
MINI BOSS: SHADOW MAKIGAMI
This fight is a bit harder, but we are still the stronger team. The first
thing Makigami will do is summon in an Oni and Corpse Bird. As you know,
the Oni use hit-all attacks. Be sure to take him out first, to stop the
"Rampage" moves. The bird can use "Drain Spirit" which may suck away LARGE
chunks of SP (around 30) so heal with the SP ADHESIVE if you need to. Attack
with whatever you wish to take these enemies out after that.
Once the fight is over, you'll get an [_OLD KEY_]. Choose to deliver this
back to our real-world contact. The request will be completed after that.
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Phantom Thieves VS Burglary Ring
Very nice. Continue to the next area now.
AIYATSBUS: AREA 7
-----------------
PERSONA LIST:
N/A
This is the final area for Aiyatsbus. We'll have to defeat the mark here
(Hikari Shimizu) to continue on. Let's do it!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW SHIMIZU
This boss actually resists physical attacks. It will still fall fairly
easily if you use magic attacks. This isn't a very hard fight considering
we have tier-2 magic attacks. Just keep your health up and bombard her with
magic and she will fall fairly easily.
After the fight, we'll get the [_WHIP SWORD_] weapon, which seems very
appropriate. Our quest will be completed as well:
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Sadism Is Just a Sign of Love
Defeating her opens a new path forward as well. Let's continue downwards.

CHEMDAH: AREA 1
---------------
PERSONA LIST:
Hua Po
Apsaras
Mokoi
Ippon-Datara
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW ODO
This is another fairly easy fight. He is RESISTANT to physical attacks,

which means MELEE and GUNS. Stick to medium-strength magic attacks and
you'll take him down in a hurry.
After the fight, tell him "At least you realize it". He'll have his change
of heart and we'll gain a BOOK of all things: [_CHINESE SWEETS_]. Huh.
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Part-time Job, Full-Time Hell
Let's continue on to the next area...
CHEMDAH: AREA 2
---------------
PERSONA LIST:
Mokoi
Koropokguru
Ippon-Datara
Regeant
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW OYAMADA
This boss is a bit of a pain, but nothing we can't handle. The key to
this fight is to STICK WITH PHYSICAL ATTACKS. Seriously. He has no weakness
at all and either resists, blocks, or absorbs all elements. Just keep at the
physical attacks and you'll overcome him.
After the fight, Oyamada will confess to us. Tell him "There had to be
another way". He'll make a stunning confession hearing that: the patient
ISN'T DEAD. Holy crap, this guy is garbage. Takemi has a chance to save her
still? Wow. Nab the [_MEDIARAMA_] skill card and we'll be done.
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Bad Medicine
CHEMDAH: AREA 3
---------------
PERSONA LIST:
Apsaras
Eligor
Mokoi
Ippon-Datara
corpse bird
Hua Po
Koropokguru
We have our fourth mark in this area: Yuya Uchimura. Be sure to find him
and engage him before moving on!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW UCHIMURA
This guy looks like one of the Tornado Demons we've fought before. He is
resistant to quite a bit: Resistant to PHYSICAL, GUNS, CURSE, and will even
ABSORB WIND. He does have a weakness though: use PSYCHIC ATTACKS to be able
to go all-out on him. Use magic after that, just anything but wind and
curse and he'll fall fairly quickly.
After the fight, we'll get a [_SLEEP STICK_], which is a bit odd. I'll
take it though. Our request is complete:
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Ending hte Boyfriend's Abuse

We'll also get a TROPHY here, which is awful nice:
(-NOTE-) You will get the "Beginner Phantom Thieves" Bronze Trophy for
completing FIVE requests. Nice!

CHEMDAH: AREA 7
---------------
PERSONA LIST:
Makami
Inugami
Shiki-Ouji
Koppa Tengu
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW MR. TAKASE & SHADOW MRS. TAKASE
(-NOTE-) If you can beat down Mrs. Takase and then put TENTARAFOO on
Mr. Takase (Ann has this ability), he will drop 30,000 - 35,000
Yen per round. Very nice!
This boss fight is a bit more difficult than the others so far. We are now
facing TWO enemies. Once you know their weakness though, you'll be set. The
FEMALE, MRS. TAKASE is weak to fire attacks. The MALE, MR. TAKASE is weak
to Psychic attacks. They also love to use hit-all moves with fire and ice,
so consider that as well. Hit their weak points and take them down.
After the fight, the "parents" will discuss the (very petty) reason they
did what they did. They should truly burn in hell... pick whatever dialog
options you wish here and grab the [_ENVY CHAIN_] weapon once you can.
o REQUEST COMPLETED: A Teacher Maid to Suffer
CHEMDAH: AREA 8
---------------
PERSONA LIST:
N/A
This is the final area, and for right now (JULY 4TH) we can't progress
any further. Feel free to go through previous levels and get as much money
as you can, then exit when you feel like you are done.
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW MOGAMI
OK... this boss is... wow, so creepy. This is a tougher boss, but nothing
too bad. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing in Makoto for her "Energy Shower"
ability, as this boss loves to use "Stagnant Air" and then will try and put
"Brainwashed" on you (confused) with her "Brain Shake" move. The boss also
doesn't have any weaknesses, so just pound away with your best moves and use
Energy Shower when you need to and you'll win this fight easily.
After the fight, Mogami will come to her senses. Tell here whatever you
wish here and the team will tell her to talk to her crush face to face. Heh.
After she's gone, nab the [_STICKY HAIRBALL_] (as weird as that is... we will
use it for crafting later).
o REQUEST COMPLETED: The Lovesick Cyberstalking Girl
Let's continue on to the next area if you can (of course). If you have
reached the bottom, then congrats! If not... keep on pushing!

PERSONA LIST:
Choronzon
Orobas
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW TSUBOI
This boss can be annoying for sure. Much like a previous one, he likes to
use "Stagnant Air" but also likes to use MUDO, an instant-kill chance. That
is really the biggest pain of this battle. The good news is that he is WEAK
to both FIRE and BLESS moves, so Ann or your main character can put him down
fairly easily. It will take 4+ All out Attacks, so use heavy-hitting physical
attacks between those to kill him off quickly.
After the fight, Tsuboi will complain about the pain... what a coward. Tell
him to "Feel the pain..." and your team will compare it to the cats pain.
What a monster... Once he disappears, nab the [_BLOOD SCIMITAR_]. Morgana
has had his revenge!

MINI BOSS: SHADOW FUKURAI
This boss ACTUALLY KILLED ME! Twice. So, with that fore-knowledge, let me
tell you to put Calming Mask on Joker at the very least and bring in Makoto
as well (put one on her too!) for her Energy Rain attack. So very helpful.
Fox/Yusuke is also GREAT in this fight.
Once you've done that, you'll see why you did: his BRAIN JACK attack will
try to hit everyone with Brainwash. Hopefully Makoto and Joker are spared,
and the others can heal themselves automatically (that Harisen Recovery
ability is helpful here). One reason brainwash is so bad is due to your team
trying to heal the boss as ell as the bosses hit-all Psychic Move that he can
use to DECIMATE anyone still brainwashed.
As long as you can avoid those things though, this boss is weak to ICE and
BLESS attacks, so you can knock him down fairly easily. Note that he is also
resistant to CURSE and FIRE. Lay into him with his weakness and go all-out.
It will take a few rounds, but stay healed and keep hitting his weakness and
you'll do him in.
After the fight, Fukurai will tell of how he got deceived himself, and his
vow to do the deceiving. Pffft. Ask him "And after you've deceived them...?"
to get him to think. He'll admit the maidens powers are real as well. Once
he disappears, nab the [_PROPHET'S HAND_] weapon for Makoto and leave the
area.

MINI BOSS: SHADOW TSUDA
This boss fight was too easy, far too easy (for November 2nd anyways).
The boss ABSORBS ice attacks and tries to use them against you, but I
nearly killed him with one Maragion Spell. Between that and regular old
physical attacks, you can take him down easily. Just don't use ice spells
and you'll be OK.
After the Mini Boss fight up above, nab the [_WEIRD WRAP_] armor item that
appears and we'll complete the request:

PERSONA LIST:

of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW NAGURI
This boss has no actual weakness, and has a TON of HP, but seems to take
buffed damage as well. Lots of HP, but low defense? Seems odd. Either way,
he does a LOT of physical attacks, so putting Defense UP on everyone (with
a skill like Marakukaja) would be great. Other than that, just keep on
hitting him with medium-strength magics and attack skills. If you want a
good boost of money, try to land Lucky Punch at the end and do an all-out
attack on him.
After the fight, tell Naguri to "Turn yourself in". He deserves the jail
time, I would say. Once he disappears, nab the [_CHARGE_] skill card he
leaves behind and we'll be done.

MINI BOSS: SHADOW KISHI
This is a rather easy boss once you realize he is weak to BLESS attacks.
He does have "Brain Shake" to try and brainwash a single target (not so bad
really... compared to the prophet guy...). The worst thing he can do is heal
himself to full with Diaharan. That's annoying, but lay into him and abuse
his weakness when you can and he'll go down.
After the fight, tell Kishi he "Should have learned" as he tries to tell
us why he does what he does. Heh. Him, of all people, acting like this. It
makes no sense. Nab the [_THEME PARK ESCORT_] book once he's gone and leave
the area.
o REQUEST COMPLETED: We Aren't Just Your Slaves
KAITUL: AREA 9
--------------
PERSONA LIST:
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW HONJO
"Just obey those with power if you want to live". What a jerk... Still,
this boss is the EASIEST one we've seen in awhile. First of all, his SP pool
is low. He recovers a bit each turn, but he'll use it for Megidola (hit all
almighty attacks) and will sometimes try to cast that and fail, wasting a
turn. He'll also just "look at us" sometimes, wasting another turn... all
this turn wasting means this is an easy fight. In the meantime, note that
he can DRAIN Lightning, NULLIFIES Psychic, Nuke, Bless and Curse. He is
WEAK to Wind though, so hit him with that and take him out.
After the fight, Honjo will tell us it is easier not to rock the boat, and
how he lost his passion. When you get a chance, say "Not to Ohya, it isn't"
to get some praise for her, then nab the [_INVIGORATE 3_] skill card when
you can. Leave the area now and we'll be done.
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Fighting for Truth in Journalism
KAITUL: AREA 10
---------------
PERSONA LIST:
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW JOCHI
Shadow Jochi isn't the hardest mini-boss we've fought. Fairly easy with
good healing. If you can nullify boss stat buffs (Use Ann!), he's even
easier. He'll mostly use physical attacks, such as Rampage and Sledgehammer
on you. He can also cast Rebellion on himself to up his critical hit rate,
which can be dangerous and give him more moves.
However, he is weak to LIGHTNING, which makes Ryuji a good pick for this
fight. Use it to knock him down and take him out. Just note that he resists
Gire and nullifies Curse. Not much of a challenge.
After the fight, Jochi will tell us if he can't get rid of the people, he
will be fired. I don't care though, I told him to "Get out of Yongen". He'll
promise to tell his boss the truth and leave the people alone. For our
trouble, get the [_SHITAMACHI REBORN_] book that he leaves. Very nice!
o REQUEST COMPLETED: Who's Muscling in Yongen-Jaya?
That's it for this area. Open up the path leading down and we'll be able

This boss fight is fairly straight-forward. The boss is WEAK TO LIGHTNING

so hit him with that around three times and go all-out and he'll fall. He
may try to get you with death spells (instant death) in the mean-time, so
be ready to heal if he gets lucky. Other than that, he isn't anything too
special.

at all. He is literally cheating. All you have to do is last for about
three rounds. Buff up and heal above all else and soon the fight will stop
on its own. You'll return to the Mementos Entrance and will talk about what
just happened. We'll have to take care of this in the real world to continue!

Wow. Mrs. Togo has done a LOT of messed up things to try to profit off of
Hifumi. More than we'd ever guess! This fight is pretty standard, except note
that Shadow Togo is basically strong to EVERYTHING but physical attacks and
is weak to BLESS. Use Bless and all-out attacks to take her out. Once you know
that, this fight is a breeze (although figuring it out took me some time). For
attacks, she uses a variety of mid-strength elemental magic, but it shouldn't
hurt too much as long as you take her out quickly with her weakness.

This "Killer" is a pretty standard fight. He's not weak to anything, so

I would just go after him with your best attacks. You can try to shock or
freeze him for some enhanced technical attacks as well. Overall though, just
keep your health up as he likes to buff himself (debuff him if you can) and
use physical attacks.
After the Mini Boss fight up above, nab the [_HIGH COUNTER SKILL CARD_] item

MINI BOSS: SHADOW MR. & MRS. MAGARIO
This fight is memorable as we're facing two opponents. We've done that
once before. This one is pretty easy though, especially for an "A RANK"
request. The HUSBAND here is weak to FIRE, and the WIFE is weak to ICE.
Be SURE to use single-hit fire shots though, as the wife ABSORBS fire. The
husband doesn't absorb ice though.
Use that to floor them and follow up quickly. I recommend bringing in the
fox (Yusuke) as he can use multi-ice hits easily and has the "DEADLY FURY"
skill ability (which is just devastating). Let's go over their attacks a
bit here. The wife is probably the most dangerous as she can cast LULLABY
which puts EVERYONE to sleep, as well as Spirit Leech, which will take away
huge chunks of SP (around 100 SP). The husband will use "One-Shot Kill" on
anyone who is asleep (which is almost a guaranteed critical). He can also
use Maeiga (medium curse damage to all) and can use Life Leech, which can
heal him for 150 HP (roughly).
Still, with those weaknesses, you can put them down fast. I recommend
killing the MOM ASAP and then cruise on to killing the DAD next. Easy.
After the Mini Boss fight up above, nab the [_GROWTH 3 SKILL CARD_] item

MINI BOSS: SHADOW ODA
This is a rough boss fight. The main reason is that Oda just has SO MUCH
HP and defense. You're going to be fighting her for quite awhile, so be
sure you have someone who can heal up and buff the party as well (party
wide defense is nice... Oda loves to use mainly physical attacks). Shei s
weak to FIRE though, so you can get in a lot of all-out attacks (although
she has so much health... this will take awhile).
Let's go over her attacks. Again, she mainly has physical attacks. Myriad
Slashes, Vorpal Slash, One-Shot Kill... she's mainly got physical attacks.
That last move is particularly effective if you're asleep, which you may be
since she also has the ability to do "Lullaby", which has the potential to
put everyone asleep. Physical and Sleep accessories are effective here. If
you can, put your sleep accessory on your healer as this battle will last
awhile. Keep up the damage though and you'll emerge victorious sooner or
later.

MINI BOSS: SHADOW WAKASA
This is a pretty easy fight. The one downside is that the boss has no
weakness. It DOES drain CURSE abilities though, so be sure not to use those.
If you have a persona strong (or repels, even) physical attacks, that is the
way to go. Wakasa will use "Brave Blade" OFTEN, which will deal 200-300 damage
to a single target, so be sure to keep one person on healing. He can also use
a "Confuse All" move (Tentarafoo), which can make things dicey.
That's about all his tricks though. Lay into him hard. He will use a full
heal on himself once when he gets low on HP, but lay into him again (while
keeping healed) and you can take him out the second time.
After the Mini Boss fight up above, nab the [_HATEN ROBE_] armor that

(-NOTE-) This boss was fought on DECEMBER 22ND. Look into the guide above
of MEMENTOS!
MINI BOSS: SHADOW ASAKURA
Oh wow... yeah, yeah this persona fits this guy, doesn't it?!
This fight is fairly simple. Asakura is ALL about using ATK UP (Tarukaja)
and then CHARGING UP. If you have Ann you can thwart him fairly easily.
He'll follow up with Lunge after that. Not too hard.
What makes this fight even EASIER is that you can use NUKE to put him down
and then go all-out. He absorbs fire though, so be sure not to hit him with
that and you'll put him down in no time!
After the Mini Boss fight up above, nab the [_IMMORTAL VEST_] armor item
(it is pretty powerful) and we'll complete the request. We should also get
the TROPHY below if you've been following this guide!
o REQUEST COMPLETED: The Head Honcho in Showbiz
(-NOTE-) Doing THIS request should net you the "A Perfect Job" Silver
Trophy! Congrats! We're approaching 100%!

Here you can find a list of all the books in the game. Good to reference, if
needed. I'll tell you where you can get the books, if they have anything you
need to do before you can find them (a few do) and where in the guide we pick
them up at.
(-NOTE-) If you follow this guide, you will get ALL books and read them
all. This should get you the BOOKWORM trophy.
(-NOTE-) These books are in ALPHABETICAL ORDER. There are THIRTY FOUR (34)
books in total:
1 = Cleaning your room

8 = School Library
13 = Shibuya Bookstore ("Taiheido Bookstore")
5 = Shinjuku Bookstore ("Hinokuniya Bookstore")
4 = Jinbocho Bookstore ("Nagiuri Bookstore")
3 = Request Rewards
So, we MUST do certain quests, hit up the School Library, and

visit THREE separate bookstores (as well as clean our room, but
that is easy). The JINBOCHO books are obtained one after another.
The Shinjuku books are only obtained once you try new activities.
And finally the Shibuya books unlock over time.
Again, I HIGHLY recommend following the guide to find every one

of them in a timely fashion!

How to Obtain | You will get this trophy on your way to the "True Ending"

��
.��. .��.
__| Passionate Listener |________________________________| Silver |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Hear 250 of Futaba's navigation lines.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is one I was honestly worried about (mainly due
| to my experience with Persona 4 Golden). This didn't end up
| being too hard though. You should end up doing this sometime
| late in the game, but preferably when you have "Crow" as a
| party member (to max out the lines you have).
|
| NOTE: You can find a list of FUTABAS NAVIGATION LINES HERE:
|
| o https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/835628-persona-5/75267740
|
| NOTE: I was personally GREATLY helped by THIS Gamefaqs
| forum post as well:
|
| o https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/835628-persona-5/75295387
|
|
| OK, now that you are ready, let's make a list of helpful
| items. Buy these items from the drugstore in Shibuya (on
| Central Street): Sikkenine, Sikkenine A, and Sikkenine EX.
| Buy enough for two for each character (to safe). It is also
| helpful to buy the "Despair Gem" from the Underground Mall
| as well as Ann's Electromag Whip. It's also a GREAT idea to
| buy a SHIT TON of healing items. Or any item you can use to
| waste a turn. Seriously, a ton. That's good for now.
|
| Now, you want to go to Mementos and get into a fight and
| put ONE of each of those above items on someone. ONLY one
| until you get the dialog line. Do that for each item, and
| then for each party member.
|
| After that we need to put the party members though the
| status effect ringer. You can do this with a full party
| but I would recommend main character and ONE person, to
| make sure they get hit with it easier. Remember you can
| adjust your party from the STATS MENU.
|
| Status Lines (One for EACH character):
|
| o Rage (Fight the Yaksini enemies in Kaitul - They use
| the "Wage War" ability).
|
| o Sleep (Fight the Sandman enemies in Akzeriyyuth - They use
| the "Dormina" ability).
|
| o Despair (Fight the Lamia enemies in Akzeruyyuth - They use
| the "Ominous Words" ability. Be sure to use that
| Despair Gem on your main character).
|
| o Hunger (Fight the Black Ooze enemies in Adyeshach - They
| use the "Famine's Scream" ability).
|
| o Forgetful (Fight the Kaiwan enemies in Adyeshach - They
| use the "Makajama" ability).
|
| o Shock (Have Ann use her Electromag Whip on a PHYSICAL
| RESISTANT enemy. Higher level, the better. Then have
| your party members attack it to get shocked).
|
|
| The REST of the navigation lines should come naturally, but
| if you start this late in the game, you should be able to
| pop the trophy. Remember there are lines for:
|
| o YOU getting ambushed
|
| o Multiple Baton Passes
|
| o Hold Up (Try asking for TOO many items/money...)
|
| o YOU attempting to escape
|
| o Using the "Assist" option (R1). Pair that with people who
| know the enemies weaknesses...
|
|
| There ARE some unique chats in several boss battles near the
| end of the game, so try to get this trophy early but if you
| aren't able to, don't worry TOO much. Get as many lines as
| you can! Leave nothing to chance, even though you may get
| lucky in end-game boss fights...
|
|
| NOTE: MANY thanks to GameFAQs users ZyphelChaos and Bleu for
| the help with this one (those are their posts up above!)
|
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| The Ultimate Strike |____________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Deal over 999 damage in a single attack.
��|��
How to Obtain | This one will be pretty easy by the end of the game. Once
| you have Ryuji or Ann learn Charge or Concentrate (and have
| them equip powerful weapons) you will likely get this without
| even trying. You can probably get it quicker if you use
| one of Yusuke's physical attacks that say "Powers up after a
| Baton Pass". Overall though, I don't see anyone having a
| problem with THIS trophy.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Perfect Combination |________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Perform 50 All-out Attacks.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy you will very likely get just by
| playing the game naturally. You will have to go through a
| couple dungeons or maybe just a late-game trip to Mementos
| at the very worst, but as long as you keep learning and
| hitting enemies with their weaknesses, you'll get this
| trophy in time.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Precise Insight |____________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Exploit enemy weaknesses 100 times.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy that I imagine no one will need any
| help with. You will likely get this in the 3rd Dungeon or so.
| The guide lists enemy weaknesses with EACH DUNGEON, so you
| will have no problem knowing what enemies weaknesses are.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| A Phantom Thief's Duty |_____________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Obtain a Treasure Demon.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy that's not too hard to get. I imagine
| that by the end of the game, you will have this without fail
| for sure! All Treasure Demons look like gems in the dungeons
| and mementos. Reference the Persona Negotiation guides in
| order to see what their weaknesses are and be sure to TALK
| to them to obtain them (at least once!).
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Beyond Rehabilitation |________________________________| Gold |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Defeat the twins.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy only unlocks on NEW GAME PLUS. You will have to
| play until Mementos is unlocked, and then you can talk to
| the Twins by the door to the Velvet Room and request a fight
| from there.
|
| OK, so this is kind-of like the "Ultimate Fight" for the
| game, so you want to be a high level. I did this at level
| 94-ish and it was pretty easy to be honest. You can also
| set the DIFFICULTY TO EASY to make things easier on yourself
| (or safe, really... although I haven't tried that). Note
| that when I did this trophy, it was on NEW GAME PLUS in
| NOVEMBER, as I played through the game again and did the
| REAPER TRICK to level up, then I got the trophy for completing
| the PERSONA COMPENDIUM. Doing that, if you have to, will set
| you up for this fight and make this trophy a breeze.
|
| I personally had Makoto, Ryuji and Ann for this fight.
| Makoto focused on healing, while Ryuji and Ann charged up
| and used HIT ALL MOVES. Why hit-all? Because the number one
| rule in this fight:
|
| o YOU MUST DEFEAT BOTH TWINS AT ONCE!
|
| There's a couple of other things you should know. There are
| FOUR phases to this fight:
|
| o PHASE 1: Physical Attacks. Caroline will use physical
|| attacks while Justine uses Gun Attacks (often
| Triple Down which has a higher chance of critical
| on it).
|
| o PHASE 2: Elemental Attacks. Both of the Twins will start
| to use Fire/Ice/Wind/Lightning attacks. They will
| try to target your parties weaknesses, so hopefully
| those EVADE skills work! If they get a "One More"
| they will often go for another weakness OR will
| use Dekunda on you (nullify stats which is annoying
| for sure). They also will ALWAYS use Diarahan on
| each other when you get their health low (this is
| the ONLY time they do it.
|
| o PHASE 3: We're past the "hump" so to say. The healing is
| done so they won't do that anymore, but they'll
| start to use Psychic/Nuclear/Light/Dark attacks.
| All the attacks they didn't use before. They will
| still try to hit vulnerable party members here,
| but with the addition of attempting some instant
| death moves.
|
| o PHASE 4: This is the end. They are serious now and will
| use whatever moves they wish. I've read that you
| have a time limit here and they will kill you if
| you take too long. Haven't seen that though. Be
| SURE you take them both close to death, then do
| one last round of buffing/charging and then unload
| on them to win this fight.

__| My Best Partner |____________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Enter a special relationship with someone.
��|��
How to Obtain | Oh, you lover you! This trophy is yours once you romance
| someone for the first time. How to do so is in the guide
| itself once you get to the correct ranks with the girl in
| question, so as long as you are following this guide you
| will undoubtedly get this trophy... if you wish...

__| Soul of Rebellion |__________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Obtain the Persona Arsene.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is automatically given to you as you play the
| game and "awaken". You are one and the same, after all...
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Mask Collector |_____________________________________| Silver |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Complete the Persona Compendium.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy that you are forced to wait for
| NEW GAME PLUS for. The reason being is that one Persona,
| Satanael, is ONLY UNLOCKED in New Game Plus.
|
| I have a note in the guide, in early Decemeber, to go ahead
| and farm the REAPER during FLU SEASON. This will level you
| up and let you complete the VAST MAJORITY of the PERSONA
| COMPENDIUM, which will carry over to the new game plus. Be
| sure to complete as much as you can before moving on to the
| new game plus.
|
| NOTE 1: Use the link below to find a FUSION CALCULATOR to
| help you find and fuse EVERY PERSONA. Be SURE to
| stay away from fusion recipes with the treasure
| demons. They are spotty IMO and don't work all the
| time.
|

|
|
| NOTE 2: Speaking of Treasure Demons, BE SURE to get them
| all before moving on to New Game Plus. You can find
| them all in MEMENTOS.

__| A True Confidant |___________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Max out one Confidant.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is one that you will undoubtedly obtain as you
| play through the game. One confidant is very easy to max
| out before you beat the game.

__| Great Phantom Thieves Convene |________________________| Gold |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Max out all Confidants.
��|��
How to Obtain | Now THIS trophy is literally going to take you all game
| long. That is because some Confidants rank up automatically.
| Still, this trophy is a SLOG to do unless you are following
| a guide of some sort... which I hope you are!
|
| If you follow this guide, you will get all of the Confidant's
| maxed out. If you came into the guide too late... I'm sorry,
| buddy, I wish I could help. I WILL say that a NEW GAME+ run
| is VERY easy as you keep all of your STATS, so you can focus
| more on people.

__| Power That Connects |________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Perform a Baton Pass 3 times in a single turn.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is a pretty easy trophy to get if you are smart about
| it. The BEST way to get this trophy is to find an enemy
| weak to GUNFIRE and get into a battle with FOUR of them at
| least. Shoot one, baton pass, repeat three times.
|
| The Mothman / Lilim from Okumura's Palace (or Mementos) is
| ideal here. But really, anything weak to gun or physical
| along with THREE party members that you can Baton Pass with
| is the ideal situation.

__| I Am Thou |__________________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Obtain a Persona through negotiation.
��|��
How to Obtain | This will likely be one of the first trophies you get.
| Simply obtain a Persona through negotiation and you'll get
| this one. They basically hand it to you in the first dungeon
| with a tutorial.
________________|______________________________________________________________

.��. .��.
__| Countless Masks |____________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Obtain 30 Personas through negotiation.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy will come in time as long as you keep trying
| to recruit Persona's. You'll get this long before the end
| of the game if you try.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| The Sneaking One |___________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Ambush the enemy 50 times.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is a fairly easy trophy to obtain. What you need to do
| is ambush enemies as many times as possible. Stick to corners
| and wait for enemies to approach and then attack them ONLY
| when the "Ambush" text is displayed. Do this 50 times and
| this trophy is yours. You'll likely get this in the third
| dungeon, if not sooner.

__| A Unique Rebel |___________________________________| Silver |____
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Defeat the Reaper.
��|��
How to Obtain | There is a TRICK to this trophy that is quite honestly the
| best way to get this trophy. To do it though, you have to
| wait for NOVEMBER 13TH (If you have been following this
| guide, I have a special note on that day, so you already
| have this trophy.
|
| On November 13th? Good. Now, we're going to go to MEMENTOS.
| What you want to do is head to a lower floor and WAIT AROUND.
| Wait for about five minutes or so and you'll soon hear CHAINS
| rattling. This is the REAPER BOSS that appears. We want to
| get into a fight with him.
|
| Once you do, stop and see if he has the DESPAIR ICON due to
| having the FLU. If he does, just wait around for three rounds
| and you'll win. If not, run and try again. That easy. Do that
| and you'll get this trophy.

__| Drink Fanatic |______________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Buy every kind of drink from vending machines.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is a bit odd. First, not ALL drinks are available
| from day one, so you have to wait a bit. I personally did
| this trophy on NOVEMBER 15TH, so that day onward is safe.
|
| That said, here's the list of drinks and where you can buy
| them at! This list isn't in any sort of order, but you can
| see a pattern of locations...

__| True Talent |________________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Max out all social stats.
��|��
How to Obtain | This (along with the "Max all Confidants") trophy is one
| of the more time-consuming ones. If you follow this guide,
| you will get this trophy though. If not... you may need to
| do a NEW GAME+ and focus on maxing out all your social
| stats.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Nominating the Twins |_______________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Perform a Group Guillotine execution.
��|��
How to Obtain | As you play through the game and work on the STRENGTH
| Confidant, you will unlock the ability to do this. Do it
| once (which you'll need to to max out the STRENGTH Confidant)
| and you'll get this trophy.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Atop Countless Sacrifices |__________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Perform a Gallows execution.
��|��
How to Obtain | This execution will automatically unlock as you play through
| the game (sometime in June, I believe... not sure of the
| exact date). Plenty of time to use this though! Use this
| ability once (save and reload if you don't want to live
| with sacrificing one of your persona) and you'll get this
| trophy!
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| A Sublime Experiment |_______________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Perform an Electric Chair execution.
��|��
How to Obtain | The Electric Chair unlocks as you play through the game
| (sometime in August, I believe). Use it once to gain this
| trophy. That easy.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Through One's Sentence |___________________________| Bronze |____
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Learn a new Persona skill through Lockdown.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy you can save and reload on if you
| wish. We can lockdown personas after reaching RANK 3 with
| the STRENGTH CONFIDANT. Use it and leave the persona in
| there for a week or so and then go let it out to learn a
| new skill and gain this trophy.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Competent Negotiator |________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Successfully rescue a hostage from an enemy's threat.
��|��
How to Obtain | This one is WEIRD! I went the whole game without seeing
| this! After some research though, the BEST way to get
| this is to connect online and use the Thieves Guild for
| help.
|
| FIRST, we need a party member to get captured (they are
| the "Hostage"). The best way to get this to happen is to
| have a Persona with Rebellion (CRIT UP TO ALL), get in a
| fight with weakish enemies, cast it, and let them whittle
| your party to low health. Once they exploit a party members
| weakness (which you WANT them to... so pick your enemy
| smartly), they have a chance to capture your party member.
|
| From there, you can use the Thieves Guild option online to
| get this trophy instantly. If you can't do that for whatever
| reason, just negotiate with the Persona as usual to get
| your party member back.
|
| This trophy has a HIGH percentage rank despite me never
| ever seeing it, so chances are good this will happen to
| you naturally.

__| Skilled Gunman |_____________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Defeat 3 or more enemies at once with a single round of
| bullets.
��|��
How to Obtain | Ha! This is a fun trophy! Go to an early floor once you
| are super strong and have fun! Shouldn't be too hard once
| you are over-powered and have bought a decent gun.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Beginner Phantom Thieves |___________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Complete 5 requests.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy will come in time as you complete requests.
| We do all requests in this guide, so no worries there!
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| A Perfect Job |____________________________________| Silver |____
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Complete all requests.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is the trophy you get for doing ALL requests. If you
| are following this guide, you will get this trophy for sure.
| It comes near the end of the game, though.
|
| If you ever need help with a request, search for it in the
| guide (the name of the request) and you can find a battle
| strategy in MEMENTOS to help you out!
|
| 777: I will probably do a special REQUESTS section in the
| future. I'll take out this self note when I do!
|
________________|______________________________________________________________

__| My Backyard |_________________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Unlock all hangout spots.
��|��
How to Obtain | If you focus on the "Bookworm" trophy, this one will come
| automatically. You will fill out the map by ranking up
| with your confidants, who will take you to different spots.
| If you follow this guide you will also get this trophy,
| guaranteed. I got it on November 11th.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Guardian of the Pond |_______________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Catch the Guardian of the fishing pond.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is a bit involved. Due to that, it is a smart
| idea to do a hard SAVE and then focus on this trophy alone.
| I had us do this on this guide on October 14TH!
|
| Read the "Fishpond Spotter" book to unlock the "Ichigaya"
| location, then go there two times a day to fish. The game
| will tell you how to, but I would recommend also reading
| the "Essense of Fishing" book after you fish once for the
| bonus it gives you. Make sure you have PROFICIENCY RANK
| 5 as well.
|
| From there... just fish. Buy the Casual Rod when you can
| and then the one after that (I would stop there). The bait
| is the important thing. Buy Medium and "Top Class" bait
| and rack up the points. Once you can buy Top Class every
| trip and have a good rod you are ready. Save at that point
| and go catch SIX fish while using THIRD EYE to look for the
| golden one. Once it appears, go for him to get this trophy.
|
| Note that you can KIND OF cheese the Guardian... you can
| throw your bait out in front of him, let him get closer to
| where we are fishing from, and reel in the bait. You can
| do that multiple times to get him closer and make it an
| easier fight... but BEWARE of other fish going for your
| bait.
|
| Be sure to reload if you are doing this trophy and it's
| your first playthrough! We really need those days back!

__| Aggressive Searcher |________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Obtain 150 items from searchable objects in Palace.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy that will be fairly easy (like the
| ambush trophy). When you are in Palaces, you want to nab as
| much loot as you can. Use "Third Eye" EVERYWHERE! Do that
| and LOOK FOR LOOT ON MULTIPLE VISITS and this trophy will
| be yours before long (by the 3rd-4th palace for sure).
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Under-the-Table Goods |____________________________| Bronze |____
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Customize a gun.
��|��
How to Obtain | The first step here is to become friends with Iwai. You
| will need to follow the guide for that, but it takes GUTS
| RANK 4 at least. Once you have that, talk to him about the
| bag he gave you earlier in the game (an automatic event)
| and rank him up to unlock this option.
|
| After that... just customize something. Trophy gained!
|
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| Craftworker |_________________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Create all types of infiltration tools.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is another trophy that will take some time...
|
| First, wait until July 25th to rank up with Morgana to
| RANK 6, which lets us craft all tools.
|
| After that, it is a matter of getting the parts necessary
| and making tools. NOTE: YOU Must make the tools. It does
| NOT count if Kawakami does it!
|
| The vast majority of these items are easy to make. You
| can buy various ingredients around town, but enemy drops
| will suffice for the vast majority of these tools. You
| can find ingredients from Mementos as well (boxes lying
| around the dungeon).
|
| With that said, I'm focusing on the tools you MAY need
| items for:
|
| o Eternal Lockpick: This is the one most people want and
| �� need help with. This requires TWENTY
| (20!) Aluminum Sheets and TEN Liquid Mercury. You can
| get this early from farming Anzu (A.Sheets) and Anubis
| (L. Mercury) in Futaba's Palace. However, I personally
| think this is easier as pickups in MEMENTOS (Path of
| Kaitul).
|
| o Reserve Ammo: This needs 10 Aluminum Sheets (see above)
| �� but also 10 "Iron Sand" and 10 "Red
| Phosphorus). Iron Sand isn't too bad. You can buy it
| from the Electronics Shop in Akihabara. It's also in the
| "Path of Akzeriyyuth" in MEMENTOS (Sandman and Pisaca).
| Red Phosphorus is a bit more of a pain. It is best to
| head to MEMENTOS for this. It can be on the ground,
| and you can fight the Black Ooze and Scathach enemies
| here to get it to drop sometimes.
|
|
| The "Megido Bomb" can be a pain as well, with Red Phosphorus
| and Liquid Mercury requirements, but both of those are in
| the items up above. Grind more if you must. That should be
| all the help you really need for this trophy!
|

__| Bookworm |___________________________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.�'��'��'��
Description | Read all books.
��|��
How to Obtain | This one can be rough if you don't follow the guide. We
| do get to every book in the guide though, so if you did you
| are virtually guaranteed this trophy. If not, you can catch
| up in November/December when we play video games and work
| out.
________________|______________________________________________________________
��
.��. .��.
__| One Who Rebels Against a God |_______________________| Silver |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Create Satanael.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is one of the ones you need to be on NEW GAME +
| in order to obtain.
|
| Once you do a New Game +, you need to get to a high level.
| The FASTEST way to do this is to prepare ahead of time. I've
| added a note in the guide, in early December, to farm the
| REAPER which will increase our level and let us fill out
| the PERSONA COMPENDIUM as much as we can (for cheap), as
| well as give us the "Divine Pillar" accessory.
|
| With this done, on NEW GAME PLUS play until after the
| first dungeon (you will slaughter it) and then once you
| reach MAY, pay attention to THIS video:
|
| o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51lVidos0Bs
|
| This SHOULD let you farm REAPER early and get to LEVEL 90+
| early (I should note that I didn't PERSONALLY do this... I
| just played NEW GAME PLUS until NOVEMBER and farmed reaper
| with the FLU SEASON).
|
| The guy has you make Sataneal in the video, but the key
| here is getting to a HIGH LEVEL fast so we can max out the
| PERSONA COMPENDIUM and afford the summoning.
|
| To actually make this Persona you need:
|
| o Arsene (FOOL)
| o Anzu (HIEROPHANT)
| o Ishtar (LOVERS)
| o Michael (JUDGMENT)
| o Satan (JUDGMENT)
| o Lucifer (STAR)
|
| Once you fuse him you will get this trophy!

__| Golden Finger |____________________________________| Bronze |____
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Complete all video games.
��|��
How to Obtain | This trophy is the one you'll get for finishing all of the
| video games. There's a LOT less games than books! First,
| you need to buy the CRT from the junk shop in Yongen-Jaya
| (by Leblanc's) and then buy the "Retro Game Set" (which I
| did on July 27TH in the guide).
|
| From there, you need to buy and play the six video games
| to completion. We do this in the guide, so if you are
| following the guide you will get this trophy.
\
| The video games are (to make sure you get them):
|
| o Gambla Goemon (Bought from the shop near Leblancs on
| July 27TH).
|
| o Star Forneus (Pretty sure this COMES with the game set).
|
| o Punch Ouch (Bought from the Game Store in Akihabara
| "Super Baron" - on September 2ND).
|
| o Train of Life (Bought from the Game Store in Akihabara
| "Super Baron" - on September 2ND).
|
| o Power Intuition (Bought from the Game Store in Akihabara
| "Super Baron" - on October 7TH).
|
| o Golfer Sarutahiko (Bought from the Game Store in Akihabara
| "Super Baron" - on October 7TH).
|
| NOTE: You can also use the book "Game Secrets" to help
| out when playing video games! Worth doing, trust
| me! "Cheating" doesn't affect this trophy at all.

__| The City's Hard Hitter |______________________________| Bronze |__
��'��.��'��'��'��
Description | Hit a home run at the batting cages.
��|��
How to Obtain | This is pretty easy to do. The batting cages are close to
| Leblanc's. You can even save and reload if you don't want to
| waste any time. The key is to line the bat up with the ball
| but put it slightly UNDER the ball outline... so you hit
| it upwards when you connect. Do that and you'll have this
| trophy quickly.

Version 0.05 April 7th - 10th, 2017

��
Virtually just starting this guide. This is going to be a massive undertaking

but I'm not going to let it monopolize my time TOO much. I have an RE7 item
check run I have to do at some point and generally just don't want to go crazy
working on such a big guide.
This version has the April month written up. No real list work or anything
like that. Stay tuned for more updates from here on out!

��
I have got the entire May Month written up. Having quite a bit of fun with
this game, as I knew I would. Maximizing your time is just very fun, as are
the re-vamped dungeons. Love it!
Got some of June put up as well, but just barely started it. More to come,
as usual...

��
This update has JUNE posted as well as most of JULY. Lots of good progress,
but its still slow-going. I know a lot of you want this faster, but you must
remember I have a job and family! Not to mention this is a free guide!
Patience truly is a virtue. Thanks to everyone for all the encouraging
messages though! Keep them coming, they help!

��
This update has the rest of JULY posted and some of August. Continual
progress, I suppose. Only a couple days off this week, so slow-going. More
to come as usual!
Version 0.41 April 29th - May 1st, 2017

��
Ugh... three days of work means nothing got done! Well, I threw in a basic
Trophy List but haven't filled it out. Nice to have it ready to go though.
Will make filling it out much easier in the future.
Version 0.50 May 1st - May 3rd, 2017
��
Two days off this time to work on this. Got August written up, so I'll be
submitting an update. September is going to take longer, I think, as August
had a lot of "free days" in it. Thanks for the continued support everyone!
All the messages and emails make my day!
Version 0.60 May 5th - May 8th, 2017

��
Got all of September written up in this update. Lots of Rank 10 Confidant

Ranks and everything but GUTS is maxed. Very good progress, I'd say. Well on
our way to maxing out everything!
Version 0.80 May 9th - May 17th, 2017

��
Got all of October done in this update. Got all the stats maxed out and a
few more Rank 10 Confidant ranks done. Took a long time to get this update
out unfortunately, as I had a lot of work days and had to do some work around
the house as well. Thank you for the continued patience!
Version 0.85 May 18th - May 22nd, 2017

��
May is disappearing! Sheesh! I feel like I didn't get a whole bunch done
in my day off. It's a marathon, not a race. Made it to November 14th with
this update. Have a bunch left to go!
Version 0.90 May 23rd - May 26th, 2017

��
May is nearly gone. And here I thought I could finish this guide before May
was done. Well... November is done anyways! We're fastly approaching the end
of the game! Exciting! A lot of plot explained! Can't wait to finish properly!
Version 1.00 May 31st - June 7th, 2017

��
Well now! The MAIN GUIDE is all done! Quite a good feeling, let me tell
you. I haven't worked this long on a game guide in quite awhile!
I'm still not done with the guide though. The "Controls" section needs to
be finished and Mementos needs cleaned up. I got side sections to do as well,
although Im' not sure what all that entails or how in depth I will go with
them. Still, expect more in the future, but for now you can get through the
entire game with what is provided.
Oh I must finish the trophies section as well! And get to all of the emails
and tips people have sent in! Definitely more to come!
Version 1.10 June 7th - June 9th, 2017

��
Working on getting the PLATINUM for this game (#100 all time!). But that
is coming slowly.
In the meantime, I updated the TROPHY section for all the trophies I have
so far (three missing...) and put in a BOOKS section as well.
More to come, as usual! Still need to add tips and emails in! Also, I should
note that this guide is now a STAR on GameFAQs! I appreciate it everyone! That
means I can help more people! Much love!
Version 1.20 July 7th, 2017

��
Platinum OBTAINED. Added the rest of the trophy guide here and most of the
user emails I have. Have NOT done the user negotiation emails yet. That's a
big job! But definitely added some missing stuff (Controls, Trophis, Emails)
so a decent post-1.0 update!

I wasn't sure how good it was until I used it, but after a month I can tell
he's put in a lot of work optomizing what to do and deserves all the credit
for what to do on the "Social Sim" aspect of this game.

Doing this guide took SO long. Basically TWO MONTHS of free time! But now
that is is all said and done, I don't regret anything. What a fantastic game
Persona 5 ended up being, and if I in any way helped you through your journey
it was all worth it! We'll always be brothers in arms, dear reader!
If you've found this guide helpful, I'll once again stress that I'd love to
stay in touch and talk games in the future. You can find me on Facebook fairly
easily (Facebook.com/Bkstunt), so feel free to stop on by and post!
With that said, much love to all my fans and friends and I hope to see you all
for further guides and walkthroughs! Yours,
