The party visits Chidori the day after. She still won’t give in and Junpei seems to support her. When you gain control, you can check the tv for a Brand Watch.
After a good night of sleep, Monday September 7th begins with Yukari wondering about Junpei and Chidori. Hidetoshi came to me at lunch but when I went to student council he wasn’t there. Turns out the hero is suspected of the cigarette butt, however Hidetoshi has your back. The Emperor Arcana reached 8.
You still can’t go to Tartarus so just concentrate on other things. More interrogation on Tuesday September 8th. Spent some time with Photography to get Fortune Arcana to 3. Still no Tartarus when you get back.
You’ll get asked a queston on September 10th. Choose “Come Here” for a charm increase. Lots of scenes today with Shinjiro and Chidori. Managed to get Chariot up to link level 7 in the afternoon and then you’ll get a call from Elizabeth in the evening. You can continue onward past floor 114 in Tartarus, so sign up for some requests and begin the climb in the new area.
The new area Tziah is all gold. After a few fights Fuuka learns Heal Wave (restores health as you go from floor to floor). As for the new requests in this area, you’ll need to collect 3 Gold Handguards for 200000 yen. They are from the glowing pink enemy’s around here, Hakurou Musha. There are also Empress’s Mirrors that you need to collect. Get 5 Empress Mirrors for some Soma (the enemy you are looking for is the Elegant Mother). You will also see Opulent Hands from time to time. If you signed up for the Silver Medal quest you can get one of these from them, and you’ll get a Bone for Koromaru as your reward. It was at this time that I was finally able to get Orthrus with Dodge Slash. This can be done much earlier but I didn’t level up Ose until recently. Anyway, find Ose and level him up to 24 and he’ll get Dodge Slash. Now use fusion between him and either Titan or Jikokuten, both strength arcana. Just make sure Orthrus has Dodge Slash. The Tigerhide Belt (armor) is your reward for this. The next fusion request is very easy. You need to have Oumitsunu at level 33 and bring the Persona back to Elizabeth. You will be able to create the Persona Nata Taishi with the Machine Core.
Floor 122 is where the next terminal is. The bosses here are pretty tough. You’ve got three Arcane Turrets to deal with, and they love lowering your defense and then spamming medium zio skills on you. They also have a Fear attack. It’d be nice to find a Persona that is strong against Electricity but has Bufu skills as well. I used King Frost in the battle and that worked out good enough with Mabufula. Mitsuru’s Tentarafoo can really screw these guys over, because you only need a few turns of Bufula knockdowns and the ensuing all outs. 950 EXP and three Massive Wheels are your reward.
During class on September 11th you get asked a question. Choose the Hermetica for some charm. The next day you get a chance to stay up during class for some added Academics. After school Junpei will be visiting Chidori. Justice Arcana reached social link 8 (choose “talk to teacher” to comfort her).
The dark hour of September 12th is forced upon you. Pharos visits and your Death Arcana reaches level 6. I had plans with Chihiro on Sunday afternoon (though you can do something else and get the beads on sale on tv). In the evening the party was rested enough to take on the floor 135 boss. The Sleeping Table is not fun. You’ll need to revive a lot from Hamaon and it has some other attacks (Megidola and an all-party agi spell) that take off a ton. Good luck. Bring the agi-strong members Junpei and Koromaru. The other character should be a healer type character (hopefully not Mitsuru since she’s weak vs. agi). A level 43+ Yukari would be best as Mediarama will heal the Megidola damage. Hope for critical attacks from either you, Junpei or Koromaru. A level 42 Saki Mitama would be ideal for a Persona as it’s strong against fire and has Mediarama at this level. For winning you acquire a Megido Gem and 2535 EXP. Grab two Balm of Life and a Soma nearby.
The next few floors are pretty generic. Floor 139 is the cut off to the second part of Tziah. Grab the Old Document 06 and this will be it until October. You get some Beads for the Old Document once you give it to Elizabeth. Spend the rest of your time until then getting your vast army leveled up as equally as possible.
Back in school on Monday September 14th you get asked another question. Choose that it’s indeterminable and you get the correct answer for a Charm increase. Spent some time at Student Council to finally bring it up to Social Link level 9. Just tell him not to blame himself.
Tuesday September 15th was spent with Chihiro. Justice Arcana reached Social Link level 9 but there are lots of options for you. Assure her that Mitsuru will be fair but don’t defend Chihiro – let her do the talking. The rest of the answers should be simple. Not much is new at the dorms besides some talk of Chidori.
You’ll hear about Yukari dressing as a maid on September 16th. Decided to hang out with zee home ec teacher Bebe. For Temperance Social Link 2, choose “Japan is great” for maximum points. On Thursday September 17th you’ll hear more about the Cultural Festival on Saturday. Went with Chihiro after school but it wasn’t ready for link 10 yet.
Friday evening there is a typhoon. As you fall asleep Igor summons you. You can now fuse up to four personae at once. You sleep all the way until the 21st! The typhoon is gone fortunately, and today is a holiday. I went to Port Island Station, to the west part near the slums. Go up right away and enter. Play rock paper scissors with the gambler and win, and you’ll get Mahjong Tile (this is of course if you signed up for the request). Return the Mahjong Tile to Elizabeth for a Berserker’s Seal. I paid the guy in the center who looks like the host of the tv show 20000 yen.
Another holiday on Tuesday September 22. Since school is out I went to the bookstore and Hierophant Social Link reached 9. The 23rd of September is the Autumnal Equinox and another day off of school. You’ll likely get called the night before for something to do today. I spent it with Kaz but no increase with Chariot Arcana yet.
Back to school on Thursday September 24th. During class you can stay awake for Academics or rest. After class was spent with Maiko but no social rank increase. Friday the 25th was spent with Hidetoshi but again the Emperor rank did not raise. The same on Saturday with Chihiro.
Sunday they are selling the Skrep. This is a weak entry as you can find these in Tartarus around where you are right now. Played some MMORPG with Maya and again no link upgrade. The dark hour is forced tonight as Pharos comes to warn you of the full moon.
Stay awake during class on Monday September 28th for an Academics increase. Finally maxed the Emperor Arcana and got a Cheap Light from Hidetoshi. With the Emperor Arcana maxed you can fuse Odin the Storm God. Better yet I maxed Courage to Badass level so that Courage / Academics / Charm were all maxed. Tuesday was spent with Chihiro but it did not reach level 10 yet. Was planning on maxing Justice the following day (Wednesday) but spent some time on the Fortune instead.
You get another opportunity to sleep or stay awake during class on October 1st. After class I went to Chihiro‘s house and maxed the Justice Social Link. This allows Melchizedek to be created. Went out with Kenji the following day but the rank did not increase.
October 3rd and you can sleep or stay awake in class for Academics. Decided to spend some time with Yukari since the charm is maxed. Say the nice things and Lovers Arcana Social Link will increase to rank 1. Since tonight is the night before the full moon, spend all the time you want in Tartarus training. Save, and the next day you’ll go straight to night time.
A few of your members are gone and there are two enemies it seems. When you get there, Ken and Shinji still aren’t there. Strength and Fortune are though. You can only attack Strength at first. The horse though (Fortune) has a Roulette that it summons. It’ll take you a while to manipulate this, but the general idea is you want the pin in the southeast to hit the blue when you press x. It won’t land on that square but will tend to land on the square after it. Sometimes the horse cheats though and makes your squares (you are aiming for the blue ones, not red) really thin and thus nearly impossible to hit. Hopefully you can figure it out quick because this battle is hardest at first when both enemies are here. Strength has some decent attacks including charming your entire party and using wind attacks (have Yukari with, and don’t use Junpei / Garu weak personae). Once Strength is done for you’ll be able to go after Fortune. Use physical attacks as criticals now result in group beatdowns. A whopping 10898 is your EXP for this.
As you return to the dorm for the night, Ken and Shinjiro are still gone. You’ll see some more scenes with those two. Eventually Takaya of Strega gets involved. Something bad happens.
The next day you’ll attend something during the day. Mitsuru talks to you during the day and then Akihiko’s Polydeuces becomes Caesar. Spent the day with Maiko to get Hanged Man to Social Rank 4. When you get back to the dorm there will be more discussion about the previous night. The team is in disarray, to say the least.
People won’t be around school on the 6th of October because of exams. I gave another 10000 yen to the Tanaka guy in Port Island then spent some time on Hierophant. It was on rank 9 so it didn’t go up but it should be close. Back at the dorm on October sixth and Elizabeth calls to inform you that you can continue in Tartarus now. Ken’s Nemesis turns into Kala-Nemi, and he returns to the dorm. You still can’t actually go to Tartarus tonight, but soon.
The dark hour hits on Tuesday night. Pharos visits and the Death Arcana reaches level 8. In the morning of October 7 you have a question. Choose the middle answer about evil spirits for a Charm increase. After class I maxed out the Hierophant Social Link at 10. The old couple gives you some Persimmon Fruit. Kohryu is now available through fusion. At the dorm tonight, the party is ready to move onto Tartarus.
The path at floor 139 is not blocked anymore. Take this all the way up to floor 146 where the terminal is. There are three Hell Knights on this floor. Expect a difficult battle as their moves take off a large amount, especially considering there are three of them. The only solution I had was using Sexy Dance, and even though it would only work on one of three or two out of three, that still helps the cause as that’s one less enemy attacking you. Mediarama is a must so hopefully you have it with a Persona or Yukari. Mitsuru’s Mabufula does a nice amount of damage throughout the fight. This will likely be a slow, drawn out battle. 1126 EXP and 3 Sword of Queen’s are your reward. There is a Precious Egg on floor 146 too that you can grab before continuing.
Numerous requests open up as you enter floor 140. Sign up for the one with the flashing pink enemies, the Crimson Turrets. They drop Red Armor Plates and you need two of them for Spirit Bracers. The Wondrous Magus creatures drop Gold Rings and you will need to bring back three of them for 340000 yen. To get the Old Document 07 you’ll need to make it to floor 164. For this you get some Soma. Might as well go for the Sushi request. Just head to Naganaki Shrine and go to the northwest part and search. You need Academics at level 6 to acquire it, as an old lady will come by and give you Inari Sushi. This nets you the Sorcerer’s Mark. Getting the Shadow Crystal will not be easy. You’ll have to search the floors 140-165 plenty of times. Coming back later when all the enemies are scared of you might be helpful. Your reward is a Bus Stop Sign for this.
Thursday October 8th is another day where everyone is gone studying for exams. I went out to eat with Mamoru since my courage was high enough. The Star Arcana Social Link reached 1. During class on Friday you can stay up for an Academic increase or sleep. After class was spent getting Devil Arcana to level 1 with Tanaka (after 40000 yen). Another opportunity to sleep or stay awake on Saturday October 10th. Hung out with Mamoru after class for Star Social Rank 2.
During the evening I took the second trip to Tartarus in this area. The next terminal is on floor 160. The boss here is a tough Mythical Gigas. It likes using fire and physical attacks on your whole party. Despite this I brought Mitsuru as her Ice damage helped immensely. Try to low his defense and just use spells. The trick is staying alive so have Mediarama ready at all times. Your reward is 3003 EXP and a Wand of King. Grab the Soma and two Magic Mirrors on the side.
Not much else to do in Tartarus besides advance to floor 164 and get the Old Document 07. One of the requests (the Shadow Crystal) will also take you a while I’d imagine.
No school on Sunday the 11th of October. Tanaka is selling R / C Geta on tv. Spent Sunday increasing Star Social Link to 3. Another day off from school on Monday the 12th before Finals on Tuesday. Got the Inari Sushi at Naganaki and then spoke with a crying Maiko. Choose the first and then second answer, and Hanged Man will reach 5.
On Tuesday October 13th, exams will start. They last until the 17th. The answer for how long love lasts is 2 years. Choose Moses for the next question. The third question has to be a glitch – it is Summer Vacation but I don’t know how you were supposed to know that. The final answer is Fifteen Years.
After midterms I spent some time with Yukari to get Lovers to rank 2. Choose pink’s cute as Yukari likes that color. Say that’s messed up instead of invite me in. Sunday October 18th Tanaka is selling Indra Bracers. Hermit Arcana Social Link 5 was reached as Maya the teacher opened up some more.
You get your exam results on Monday October 19th. Since my academics were maxed and all the questions were right, I got the highest score. Charm was increased. Later in class you’ll get asked a question and if you choose Friday you’ll have another Charm increase. Went out with Yukari again and a little boy ran around us at the mall. Lovers Arcana reached rank 3.
Fuuka gets some big news in the morning of Tuesday October 20th. The resolution in her heart allows her Persona Lucia to be Juno. The rest of the party comforts her. I met with Kenji after class to get Magician to rank 7. Choose Bride to be magazine and then cheer him on to get Magician to upgrade. The following day was spent with Yukari Chan. She had a call interrupt the date – her mother is getting remarried. Lovers arcana reaches 4.
A question is asked of you on October 22nd. The correct answer is Mansion. I also visited Mitsuru to get the reward for the top score on the last exam. It’s the Queen Card Set. Had not been to the Photography club with Keisuke in a while so I did that. Tell him complaining won’t help and Fortune Arcana reaches 4.
Edogawa asks you a question during class on October 23rd, Friday. The founder of Theosophy is Madam Blavatsky and if you get this right you get a Charm increase. Afterwards I went to practice with Kazushi. Yuko took me to the office but don’t lie. Look away, and Chariot Arcana will reach rank 8. I spent the following day with Yukari but Lovers didn’t level up. Sunday I had plans with Yukari but again Lovers did not reach rank 5.
The afternoon of Monday October 26th you will have another question. Coffee is Arabic so choose that for some Charm. Spent another day with Yukari, but she lost her wallet. Follow her and beat the punks up, and Lovers will reach rank 5. Tuesday the 27th goes straight to after school so I spent it with Keisuke, raising Fortune Arcana to rank 5 (choose ‘you should tell your dad’). Since there is a full moon in a week, Pharos comes by. Wednesday the 28th was spent with Yukari, but no level up for Lovers.
Another question for you in class Thursday October 29th. Choose Tofu for the magnesium chloride question for some Charm. Spent another day with Yukari that ended with no rank increase. The following day was spent with Fuuka to get Priestess to rank 1, but I’m going to stop doing that so Yukari does not get upset. The final day of October, the 31st, was spent on the rooftop with Yukari. Choose anytime and Lovers Arcana will reach rank 6.
The first day of November is Sunday. Turn on the Tanaka show and buy a Berserker’s Seal if you want. I first went to Naganaki Shrine to talk to the striped shirt guy but he needed a pen, and then I hung out with Mamoru but no rank increase. Back at the dorm, talk to Koromaru and grab the Red Fountain Pen. The day after this is the day before the full moon. I spent it with Yukari but no rank increase. The Fool Sees Social Rank reaches 6 tonight. Finish all of your timed requests and build up while you can.
November 3rd is a big day. It’s the last shadow to defeat. The day goes straight to late night, the dark hour. The last shadow and Strega are out there. The first two enemies you see are Strega, Jin and Takaya.
You finally get to see these guys in battle. Takaya likes to use different elemental attacks and then shoot you once in a while. There is also Megido and he can use Mind Charge. Jin on the other hand likes to increase his attack and then use Mudo and Mudoon. Try to take him out first. I like Junpei, Mitsuru and Yukari. Have them attack the same target, give them agi / bufu / garu bracers respectively, and then they should be able to cast those high level spells until Jin is taken out. Knock these dweebs out and 14426 EXP is yours.
Some scenes and then you are in battle against Hanged Man. You’re going to want to destroy those shadows. The big Hanged Man shadow will summon smaller shadows. It has an Akasha Arts earth-based tactic that can take off a ton. Armed and Ready turns one of it’s summoned shadows into a bomb. The worst attack might be God Hand but at least that’s on one character. It restores the three barriers from time to time. If you can manage to destroy the last barrier while no summoned enemies are around, you can get an all out attack. 14971 EXP is your reward.
The party is in good spirits afterwards. You just saved the world. Wednesday November 4th you’ll get a visit from Pharos. The Death Rune will be maxed at Social Link level 10. Thanatos is now available, the Bringer of Death. You will head right back after school for the celebration. Takeharu Kirijo comes to say thanks. Fool Arcana reached level 7.
Strangely enough the Dark Hour comes. The party heads to Tartarus to see Shuji Ikutsuki and Aigis. Lots of crazy scenes go on here.
I come to check social link Shinjiro but instead I see.. what I see ? Man
