In order to unlock the third semester, the most critical thing to do is reach Rank 9 with Dr. Maruki. He’s the counselor who begins working at Shujin Academy on 5/13. After unlocking his Confidant, the Councillor Confidant, Joker can immediately begin meeting with him after school to progress his Confid♔ant ranking.

You have until 11/17 to get Dr. Maruki to Rank 9.

Befriend Akechi To Get The True Ending

Though your access to the third-semester content is restricted by your relationship with Dr. Maruki, it’s Goro Akechi, the Detective Prince and resident thorn in your side, who gets you the game’s 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:True Ending.

There are a handful of decisions that you’ll need to make in order to progress Akechi’s confidant far enough to guarantee the entirety of the new third-semester content, which leads to the True Ending. Though Akechi leveled automatically with the story in vanilla P5, in Persona 5 Royal, you have to choose to hang out with Akechi to progress his Confidant ranking.

The first step to unlocking the full endgame content is to have Akechi at Rank 8 by 11/17. While you will have to hang out with him by choice this time around, he’s pretty readily available. Akechi can be found in Kichijoji on Saturday nights, as well as either Tuesday or Wednesday nights depending on where you are in the game. Additionally, he is always available when it's raining.

So long as you get Akechi to Rank 8 by 11/17, he will reach Rank 9 and Rank 10 (Max) automatically with the progression of the story from there. If you have not gotten him to Rank 8 before this deadline, however, then his Rank will be locked where it is following the completion of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Shido’s Cruiseliner Palace, before you take on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Black Mask fight.

The biggest roadblock to completing Akechi’s Confidant is that you need to reach Level 3 Knowledge and Level 3 Charm before you can progress to Rank 3. Given that you meet Akechi on 6/10, you might not hav🗹e these skills for a while, so keep your eye on his Confidant ranking throughout the game.

As you’re befriending Akechi, there are a few dialogue decisions you have to make in order to progress towards the True Ending.

Joker’s Required Dialogue Choices With Akechi

Occasion	Akechi's Dialogue	Joker's Response
Rank 7	“Wh🐼y not joi🍸n me instead…? All you’d have to do is abandon the teammates you have now. How about it?”	“You’re my rival.”
Rank 8	“Should the opponent accept th🌠e glove, the duel is also accepted.”	“I accept.”
The night you secure the 🐼route to Shido’s treasure	N/A	“I want to keep our promise.”

We also have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a full guide to befriending Akechi (even if he does make it kind of hard to want to s✤ometimes).

If you reach the 11/17 deadline, then the third semester plays out exactly as intended. However, you’ll still have one more c꧃hoice you need to make to ensure you get the True♏ Ending.

Joker’s Required Dialogue Choice On 2/2 With Akechi

Akechi's Dialogue	Joker's Response
“I won&rౠsquo;t wait a moment longer. Answer me.”	“We’re stopping Maruki.”

If you say you're accepting the deal instead, Akechi will ask if you're serious. This is your final chance to backtrack, but if you stick to the deal, you will not see the True Ending.

As long as all the conditions mentioned above are met, then you’ll see the True Ending of Persona 5 Royal play out to its fullest. It includes Crow’s third Persona awakening, as well as 🌃a post-credits scene, though many other aspects of the final section of the♓ story will change without Akechi as well.
