Welcome to TheGamer’s walkthrough. Here, we’re gonna be guiding you through all ten playable months of the game, making sure you’ll make it to the true ending with all confidant ranks and social staꦛts maxed out— not to mention popping that shiny p🃏latinum on your first run of the game.
We're currently in the process of updating these guides to make them more accurate. Any guides with🌼 this warning have yet to be updated and do not follow on from the ones that have been updated co𝓰rrectly.
Going month by month, this guide will include:
- Month overview
- Notes on restricted/limited time events
- Daily activity guide
- Mementos and Palace notes
- Recommendations/tips for combat optimization.
A few things to note going into this walkthrough:
- This walkthrough is a modified version of , optimized for further efficiency and combat effectiveness.
- All confidant rank ups are dependent on you bringing a persona of a matching arcana when spending time with them. With the exception of Rank 1 and Rank 10, if you forget to do this even once it’ll set your schedule back— sometimes catastrophically, depending on the confidant. Make sure you’re keeping track of your personae. Reminders will be included when your only opportunity to prep a persona for an event is the night before.
- However, the Sun and Moon confidants do not require matching personae.
- This walkthrough is based on normal difficulty— you might find yourself having a hard time keeping up on higher difficulty modes.
- As it’s not possible to 100% the Thieves Den achievements on your first run, we’ll be guiding you through popping as many of them as possible, but it will not be a main focus like the PS4 trophies.
- This guide will be running on the assumption that you’re choosing a platonic route with all the romanceable characters to accomodate for everyone— if you find yourself progressing faster with your romanced confidant than the guide plans for, use the extra day as a free slot.
- HOWEVER, we recommend romancing at least one teammate to acquire the PS4 trophy, even if you decide to reload and proceed with the platonic route.
- Story-locked confidant ranks will not be included in the monthly exit stats.
All set? Let’s get started.
- Note that the values below will be based on you having a matching persona in stock.
January
And we’re finally here in the Royal-exclusive storyline. This month looks mostly like December, comprised mostly of free time and finishing off confidant events. Now that you're strong enough, howev♏er, you should aim to pop all of the combat-related trophies during your multiple Mementos visits this month:
- Maxing out at least one of the Mementos modifications that Jose offers and trading in your flowers at least once (though you should be keeping on top of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:everything Jose can do for you, as he's extremely useful).
- Experiencing an anomaly in Mementos (you've most likely already gotten this one)
- Defeating the Reaper. At this point, you should be tough enough that it's less a matter of surviving the Reaper's attacks so much as whittling down his huge HP pool.
With that out of the way, buckle in: it’s about to getꦍ weird.

February 3rd
- Final Boss Battle.
(Note: There will be four phases. Phase one requires a pretty specific strategy: compose your team so you have one member who can use nuke, psi, curse, or bless attacks, one member who can use fire, ice, electric, or wind attacks, and two members who can use a high-damage, single-target physical skill (Violet and Joker are the two best candidates here). Hit each of the three tentacles with their respective weaknesses, using Baton Pass until your fourth team member (one of the two physical heavy hitt🌃ers) can slam the boss’s persona as hard as possible with the Baton P🗹ass boost.
The second phase involves certain skills or abilities being blocked altogether. The boss will always start by blocking magic attacks entirely, but then rotate the restrictions at random; these include no physical attacks, no Baton Passes, no recovery (item or magic), no defending, and no support skills. The main one to worry about is when he blocks recovery; simply✃ defend until the next turn when he does. He’ll also target a single party member at times and unleash a powerful almighty attack on that character. When his persona’s HP reaches below 50%, he’ll have a two-turn charge attack that inflicts extremely powerful almighty damage on everyone. If you’re balancing blocking, buffing, healing, and attacking well, this shouldn’t be too difficult a fight. This phase ends if either the main boss or his persona reaches 0 HP— so focus on one ꦗor the other, preferably the boss himself to avoid his persona unleashing the two-turn attack.
Phase three amounts to stay💎ing alive until Oracle can find his weak spot, so don’t bother attacking— simply block and heal as much as possible until the cutscene triggers. If you have Maria, this shouldn’𒅌t be so hard.
Phase four will be self♛-⛦explanatory once you get there.)
Once you're finished the figh🌺t, there's nothing left to do but sit𝓰 back, relax, and enjoy the cutscenes until you head right into the true ending. After what'll probably be around 120~130 hours, you've finally gotten through it all.
Congratulations on beating Persona 5 Royal! Ready for NG+?
