April
4/11
After inputting the Protagonist's name, watch the introduction scenes, and
when you have control, save your game at the calendar on the wall. Head upstairs
and lie down on the futon to take part in the dream sequence. In the dream, run
forward to the end of the path, examine the large block, then get ready for a
fight. You can't lose this fight, so don't worry about failing. This is a good
time to try out your various skills, so experiment to your heart's content.
After the being disappears, wait a couple turns for the battle to end.
4/12
Watch more introduction scenes in the early morning of this rainy Tuesday,
and during your conversation, pick the "You calling me a loser?" option to
increase your Courage. Watch more scenes throughout the rest of the day.
4/13
More scenes to watch. In the morning, you'll have a lecture, which increases
your Knowledge. Watch more scenes for the rest of the day, then return to your
room to watch the Midnight Channel.
4/14
You'll have a pop quiz this morning; choose "When Jesus was born" to gain a
boost to your Knowledge. After school you'll head off to Junes, where you'll
enter the TV there. In the conversation inside the TV, choose the "Are you guys
okay?" dialogue to increase your Understanding.
4/15
Lots of scenes to watch today. After school, select the "I'm worried about
Chie" option to gain a boost to your Understanding. You'll have your first real
fights today. Your first battle is against a pair of Slipping Hableries. Use the
Zio skill to knock them down, then use normal attacks to defeat them. After
that, you have a boss fight!
When Shadow Yosuke guards, it usually means
it's about to unleash its Wind attack; do likewise and Guard!
Boss: Shadow Yosuke
HP: 300 • Suggested Level: 2
Shadow Yosuke's Forgetful Wind can knock you down here, so be
sure to always Guard when the boss is about to use it (it will often Guard just
before it does), or when it uses Power Charge to boost its next attack. When you
aren't Guarding, spam Zio to knock Shadow Yosuke down, then follow it up with an
attack. Conserve your SP for this specific
purpose!
Yosuke will now join your party, along with his Persona, Jiraiya. Head back
to your room for the evening to receive the Velvet Key, which allows you
access to the Velvet Room starting April 17th.
4/16
Watch the early morning scenes, after which the Magician Social Link (I) can
be established by speaking with Yosuke. Watch the remaining scenes to end the
day, and the first week.
4/17 - 4/23
4/17
Talk to Teddie at the gate to Yukiko's Castle
for some free supplies.
Watch the scenes that play today, and you'll eventually end up at the Metal
Works store and receive 5,000 yen. Buy a new weapon each for the
Protagonist and Yosuke, then leave the shop.
The door to the Velvet Room will appear next to you now, so unlock it with
the Velvet Key to visit it and begin to learn about Persona Fusion.
Exit the shop area now to the north or south and head to the Food Court at
the Junes department store. The events will take you to the Gate of Yukiko's
Castle, your first dungeon. Talk to Teddie for Peach Seed x5, Soul
Drop x5, and a Revival Bead.
Yukiko's Castle
Enter the castle now and head up to the second floor. Fight as many enemies
as you can to earn EXP and raise levels. Try to get to level 6 if you can.
Use Garu on Shadow Chie until she uses Green Wall, at
which point you should use Rakunda to weaken her again.
As you fight enemies, you may get a chance to pick a Persona card after a
battle from the Shuffle Time game. If you happen to pick an Angel card, hold
onto it, and equip it just before you fight the boss. Conserve your Soul Drops,
and use them to replenish your SP when you're ready to face the boss on the
second floor, Shadow Chie.
Boss: Shadow Chie
HP: 1,000 • Suggested Level: 6
Shadow Chie starts out weak to Wind attacks, which makes Yosuke
your best friend here as he uses Garu. Unfortunately, though, Shadow Chie will
throw up Green Wall that makes her resistant to Wind after she's hit with Garu.
If you have the Angel Persona equipped, switch to Izanagi and cast Rakunda to
lower her defenses. Hit her with physical attacks or switch back to Angel, and
cast Rakunda every now and then. If she hits Yosuke with Mazio and inflicts
Dizzy, use a Medicine to heal him and continue the assault until Shadow Chie
goes down.
Chie is now a playable character, and a Social Link will be established for
Fool Arcana.
4/18
Before class, you'll establish a Chariot Social Link with Chie. Don't worry
about not having the Courage to give some of the responses to Chie; you'll be
able to give them on a second playthrough.
Talk to this student to start your first
sidequest.
You have until April 29th to rescue Yukiko from the castle, and to do that
you must defeat the boss on the 8th floor. That's 11 days from today, so you
should spend three of those days working your way through the castle, starting
today. Try to get to the fifth floor, then escape the dungeon before facing the
boss. We'll come back here on the 27th to deal with that.
There's a Pop Quiz in class; choose "The" to increase your Knowledge.
After school, the Who's the Riddle Master?! sidequest becomes
available.
You can also go see your friends at the Food Court at Junes and enter the TV
to explore the Yukiko's Castle dungeon (covered later).
4/19
Head to the Faculty Office and ask to join a club, then take the Emergency
Exit on the 1st floor to the gym to establish a Strength (XI) Social Link.
4/20
Talk with Yosuke. During the afternoon conversation, select the "Millennium"
answer to increase your Expression and the Magician Social Link.
After school, the A Great Man book is available to purchase at the
Yomanaido Bookstore in the Shopping District. A Magician Social Link is also
available.
4/21

after school.

Talk with Yosuke in the early morning. A Magician Social Link is

There's a Pop Quiz during glass; choose the "They were by the riverside"
answer to boost your Expression and Magician Social Link.
After school, check out the Job Board at the north end of the Shopping
District, on the left side of the street. Easily the best job available is the
Assistant Day Car Caretaker position, since it pays better and rewards you with
the Temperance Social Link after your second day of work. But you don't have to
take on a job if you're too busy doing other things!
A Strength Social Link is available now, as is a Magician one if you've saved
Yukiko.
4/24 - 4/30
4/24
A Strength Social Link is available via your cell phone, as is a Magician
link.
4/25
There's a Pop Quiz in class; choose "8 A.M." to boost your Knowledge.
The Girl on the Rooftop sidequest is available after
school.
The Assistant Day Care Caretaker job is available today.
If you've saved Yukiko, a Magician Social Link is available. You can also
establish a Sun (XIX) Social Link by going to the Faculty Office, asking to join
a club, going to the Practice Building, then entering the Meeting Room to join
the Drama Club or the Music Room to join the Music Club.
If you've saved Yukiko, you can make lunch for tomorrow from the food in the
fridge. Choose to score it with a knife to receive the Aromatic Pork
Ginger and three Baits.
4/26
Talk to Chie in the early morning.
There's a Pop Quiz in class: answer "It's a perfect number" to increase your
Expression and Chariot Social Link.
During lunch today, you can share the meal you made (see previous day's
activities) with one of your classmates. Select someone you have a Social Link
with to increase that link slightly.
If you saved Yukiko, a Chariot Social Link is available. Strength and Sun are
also available.
In the evening, you can eat a snack to increase your Courage (you can do this
only once) if you made lunch after rescuing Yukiko.
4/27
Nothing special happens today, making it an ideal day to tackle Day 2 of your
three-day assault on Yukiko's Castle. Return to the fifth floor to deal with the
boss, an Avenger Knight. Make sure you're all healed up before attacking
him!
Have your allies use skills like Bufu against
the Avenger Knight, since it's strong to physical attacks.
Boss: Avenger Knight
HP: 430 • Suggested Level: 11
The easiest way to take down the strong Avenger Knight is to
acquire a Slime Persona from a Shuffle Time game, then raise it to level 7. At
that point, it will have learned Tarunda and Resist Physical. Use these two
skills to keep the Protagonist nearly invincible in this battle. Your allies
will gradually learn to use Bufu and Garu against the Knight, which is strong
against their physical
attacks.
You'll obtain the Glass Key after the fight. Now plow your way up to
the 8th floor and use the Save Point there. If you have any remaining SP, go
back down to the 6th and 7th Floors to level grind until you run out, then
escape from the dungeon.
4/28
If you have saved Yukiko by now, talk to Chie in the early morning. After
school, the Sun Social Link is available.
4/29
You have to rescue Yukiko before Evening today, or it's Game Over for you,
friend. Head off to the castle and return to the 8th floor, then pass through
the doors to face the boss, Shadow Yukiko. Before you tackle this battle, you'll
probably want to level up a Slime and an Ukobach Persona until they've learned
all their skills, then combine them in a triangle fusion to create an Archangle
with Resist Fire, Resist Physical, and Red Wall. Level up the Archangel to
12.
Protect Chie in the battle with Shadow Yukiko
with Red Wall.
Boss: Shadow Yukiko
HP: 1,050 • Suggested Level: 15
When the battle begins, cast Red Wall on Chie, and then again
intermittently to keep her safe. Chie's presence will prevent the summoned
Charming Price from using Diarama. Your leveled-up Archangel will get you
through this battle easily with its Media spell. Use a TaP Soda (purchased from
the vending machine by the medicine shop) if your SP gets
low.
4/30
Talk to Yukiko in the early morning. In the Pop Quiz in class, answer "Mt.
Olympus" to boost your Knowledge. After that, just watch the cutscenes that
bring this month to a close.
May
5/1 - 5/7
5/1
You can go revisit Yukiko's castle now and battle the Contrarian King on the
8th floor for a new weapon for Yukiko (check the stairs in front of the throne
after you defeat him for it) if you want, but there are other things to do now.
For instance, if you go down by the river's edge you'll meet an old man who
will give you a fishing set and baits. Taking them means you can
spend your day or evening fishing from now on, if you so choose.

To continue the Kanji quest, go back to Junes today and talk to the guy who
knows Kanji. Now head into the TV to speak with Teddie and unlock the next
dungeon, the Steamy Bathhouse. This dungeon has 11 floors and bosses on the 7th
and 11th floors, but don't start it today. Tomorrow's better.
5/20
After school, the Moon, Hermit, and Temperance Social Links are available. In
the evening, the Justice link is also available.
Steamy Bathhouse
Today's a good day to get started on the Kanji dungeon. Try to get to the 7th
floor and clear it, but don't take on the boss just yet, just escape for now,
and come back between the 21st and 29th, or June 3rd. On your next trip here,
take on the boss:
Daring Gigas uses a lot of Power Charged
attacks, so use a Persona that resists physical attacks.
Boss: Daring Gigas
HP: 928 • Suggested Level: 23
Before this battle, make sure you've got plenty of Revival
Beads and equip any Falcon Eyes you've found. The Sukunda skill is your friend
here, so make sure you've got it. Daring Gigas uses attacks such as Rebellion,
Power Charge, Turkaja, and Single Shot, so you'll want to have a good Persona
for your Protagonist that resists physical attacks. Rakashasa's a good one; fuse
Legion and Berith to get it.
You'll obtain the Bathhouse Key after the battle. This allows you open
the locked door to the stairs on the 3rd floor. Keep going up to the 11th floor,
use the Save Point there, then escape the dungeon. When you return to the 11th
floor a fresh, ready-for-bear party on your third trip here, be prepared for a
fight against three bosses! Have Cool Beads equipped, and bring along some
Dokudami Teas. And your Rakashasa Persona will work well here.
Each of the three targets in the battle with
Shadow Kanji has a different elemental weakness, so don't use group
attacks!
Bosses: Shadow Kanji, Nice Guy, Tough
Guy
Kanji - HP: 2,000 • Nice Guy & Tough Guy - HP: 800 each • Suggested
Level: 27
Set your allies to Manual here, because they won't ever seem to
learn not to use group attacks: the Nice Guy absorbs Ice attacks, and the Tough
Guy absorbs Fire and physical attacks. Take out Nice Guy first, since he can
heal Kanji and boost his stats. You may want to switch to a Persona that uses
Dekaja so you can strip Nice Guy of his buffs. After you take out Nice Guy, use
Tarunda or Sakunda to get rid of any buffs Shadow Kanji has, then take down
Tough Guy. Once they're gone, you can switch your allies off Manual control to
finish off Kanji.
Hopefully you have done this by June 4th, or it's Game Over!
5/21
If you've saved Kanji by today (an unlikely prospect, but possible), the
Magician Social Link is available today. Otherwise, the Hermit, Strength,

Come back on July 1st to deal with the boss on the 7th floor:
Don't bother curing yourself if you're
Poisoned; you'll be cured after this brief battle.
Boss: Amorous Snake
HP: 1,012 • Suggested Level: 32
Thankfully, the Amorous Snake isn't very difficult to defeat.
It will try to poison you, but if it succeeds, just ignore it, because you'll be
cured from it after the battle. It may also hit you with other ailments, and
those you should try to cure as soon as possible. Keep your HP above 100 at all
times and just keep attacking until the snake goes toes-up. So to
speak.
Open the chest here for a Soma, then head up to the 11th floor and use
the Save Point there. Exit the dungeon, and come back on July 8th or 9th to
finish the job. Put Chie in your party instead of Yukiko, and put your team's
tactics to Manual for the boss fight on the 11th floor.

Rise.
Boss: Shadow Rise
HP: 2,800 • Suggested Level: 35
Have Chie guarding at all times while the rest of your party
uses Fire attacks on Shadow Rise. Once you've knocked her down to 50% of her
health, Rise will use Supreme Insight to find out your party's weaknesses. Now
set your team's tactics to Guard, and you should also Guard. Guard for three
rounds until the battle
ends.
When Shadow Teddie starts charging up for a
major attack, wait for Rise to tell you to Guard, then Guard!
Rise will join you now to help you with a fight against Shadow Teddie.
Boss: Shadow Teddie
HP: 5,000 • Suggested Level: 35
Here's where having Chie in your party will come in handy,
because she'll use Mind Charge often and follow it up with Mabufula. Use a
Persona that protects you from Ice attacks, and start attacking with physical
attacks. Use Mouthwash if he tries to mute you. After a while of attacking,
Shadow Teddie will start charging up an attack. Wait for Rise to tell you to
guard, then turn off your party's AI and have everyone Guard in order to survive
the attack.

Void Quest
Speak to the guy outside the Tofu store today and you'll be able to enter
Mitsuo's dungeon, Void Quest. This is a 10-floor dungeon with bosses on the 7th
and 10th floors. Spend today getting to the 7th floor, clear it, but save the
boss for your return.
If the Killing Hand summons an Almighty Hand to
the battle, kill it with wind skills, then go back to using physical attacks on
the boss.
Come back to the dungeon on 8/6 to take on the 7th floor boss battle.
Boss: Killing Hand
HP: 885 • Suggested Level: 40
The Killing Hand itself isn't all that difficult, and can be
defeated with simple physical attacks. What adds a little spice to this
battle is that the Killing Hand can periodically summon an Almighty Hand to the
battle. The Almighty Hand can heal the Killing Hand, but it doesn't have much HP
and is weak to Wind attacks, so lay into it whenever it appears, then get back
to hammering on the boss. This shouldn't take
long.
Check the chest in this room for an Orb of Darkness, then head to the
10th floor. Use the Save Point there, then escape the dungeon.
Return on or before August 12th to take on the boss on the 10th floor. To
prepare, equip the Protagonist with a Bravery Vessel or similar accessory to
protect against the boss's status-effect spells. Fuse Ose with a Power to create
a Pyro Jack, then create a Black Frost so that it can inherit Power Charge from
the Pyro Jack. You'll see why soon enough.
You can't even attack Shadow Mitsuo until you
deal with this largy, boxy sprite!
Boss: Shadow Mitsuo
HP: 4,000 • Suggested Level: 43
Unlike the last battle, this one's tough, and long! At the
start of the battle, Mitsuo will summon a large sprite to protect itself from
attack, and you must destroy the sprite before you can damage Shadow Mitsuo. All
well and good, except that the sprite can be created again and again, and
Mitsuo gets two actions per turn.
Begin by chipping away at the sprite until it's destroyed. Mitsuo's Shadow
will often use an elemental spell, so if you have any characters weak to that
element, switch them to Manual control and set them to Guard until Mitsuo begins
to rebuild the sprite.
While Mitsuo's Shadow is exposed, you need to use Power Charge as often as
possible. Use Rakunda as well to boost your damage output. You should be able to
knock down Mitsuo's Shadow and release an All-Out Attack before it tries to
rebuild the sprite. Continue using this strategy until Mitsuo's Shadow is
finished.

to the cop at the Shopping District's north end. Now go talk to Chie at the
Floodplain, then return to the cop and talk to him again. That's all for

9/17
Pop quiz in class today: answer "To make profit from spices" to boost your

The Hermit, Temperance, and Strength links are available today, and the Tower

Continue your investigation today. Talk to the cop at the southern side of
the Shopping District to learn that Naoto "has an obsession with the case" and
that the "police consider him a child." Rise should now have enough info to find
the Secret Laboratory dungeon.
Secret Laboratory
The Secret Lab has 9 floors, with bosses on the 4th and 9th floor. To get to
the 4th floor boss, though, you must obtain the Research Card from the
6th floor, then go back down to the 4th floor and use the card to unlock the
door to the boss. On your first day in this dungeon, just make your way to the
6th floor, get the Research Card, and exit the dungeon.
Return to the dungeon no later than 10/1 and head up to the 4th floor to take
on the boss there.
Boss: Dominating
Machine
HP: 3,070 • Suggested Level: 50
The Dominating Machine is very predictable, as it will only
ever use Power Charge and follow that with a physical attack that hits everyone
in your party. Use Sakunda to lower its hit rate, then use Mediarama after every
one of the boss's attacks. For this reason, having Teddie and Yukiko manually
controled in the party is very beneficial. As for your offensive, use Power
Charge and Mind Charge to boost the Protagonist's attack power, and use Rakunda
and Matarukaja as well.
You'll now have the Leader Card that allows you to unlock the door on
the 6th floor. Head through that door and continue to the 9th floor. Save your
game at the Save Point, then exit the dungeon.
Return on or before 10/5 to tackle the dungeon's 9th floor boss, Shadow
Naoto.
Boss: Shadow Naoto
HP: 5,500 • Suggested Level: 54
Before the battle begins, equip your teammates with accessories
that help them evade their weaknesses. You'll want to cast Sakunda and
Masukukaja constantly to boost your evade rate, as this boss likes to use spells
to target your weaknesses. Keep your HP above 300 at all times by using
Mediarama or Diarahan! Depending on which attack Shadow Naoto hits you with,
you'll want to respond properly: If you're hit with Debilitate, cast Dekunda. If
you're hit with Mute Ray, switch the afflicted character to Manual and Guard
until the effect wears off. If you're knocked unconscious, take that character
off of guard stance and use a Revival Bead. If the boss casts Galgalim Eyes, use
Diarahan, then cure the enervation. If Naoto uses Heat Riser, cast Dekaja.
Eventually, Shadow Naoto will start using Mind Charge; respond by casting
Makarakarn and using Magic
Mirrors.

You now have until 11/20 to rescue Nanako from the new dungeon, Heaven, or
it's Game Over for you. This new dungeon has 10 floors, with bosses on the 7th
and 10th floors. The rainy days to tackle this dungeon are 11/11, 11/18, 11/19,
and 11/20 (but note that 11/20 is the last rainy day before the game's final
boss).
Heaven
The best plan is to clear the way to the 7th floor, then go back down to the
entrance and swap in some fresh teammates with full SP to deal with the 7th
floor boss.
Boss: World Balance
HP: 1,200 • Suggested Level: 60
The World Balance always uses Mind Charge and follows it up
with a skill to exploit one of your teammates' weaknesses. Use Diarahan and
Samarecarm, and just go to town on this low-HP boss. It shouldn't last very
long.
Proceed to the 10th floor, use the Save Point, and exit the dungeon.
Return no later than 11/20 and take on the 10th floor boss. Make sure the
Protagonist can use Ice, Elec, Wind, and Fire skills, as well as Mind Charge,
Makarakarn, Samarecarm, and Mediarahan. Have Personae that have Null, Repel,
and/or Absorb Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind.
Boss: Kunino-sagiri
HP: 8,500 • Suggested Level: 64
When the battle begins, start attacking the boss until you've
chipped away about a third of his health. At that point, the boss will use Quad
Converge, which makes your party much more susceptible to one element. This
includes the boss, so you can exploit this! Switch your party to Manual control
and make everyone Guard. Watch to see which elemental skill the boss uses, then
use Makarakarn or a Magic Mirror on any character already weak to that element.
Now use that same element to attack the boss!
After Kunino-sagiri's health drops to 50%, it will take control of one of
your teammates for two turns. Switch to a Persona that can resist or null this
character's attacks, and keep attacking the boss. Once its HP drops to 25%, it
will take control of all three of your teammates. Switch to a Persona that can
block physical attacks and Guard for a couple turns until the teammates are
freed from the boss's grasp.
When Kunino-sagiri's health is very low, expect it to use Unerring Justice,
which can damage you for up to around 200 HP! Use Masukukaja and Sukunda to
boost your chances of evading it. Continue attacking the boss, as it's almost
dead! It should drop soon at this point in the
battle.

After school, the Strength, Hanged Man, Hermit, Sun, and Moon Social Links
are available. In the evening, the Devil and Tower links are available.
Magatsu Inaba/Mandala
Starting today, you have until 12/24 to enter the final dungeon and capture
the suspect, or it's Game Over. If you defeat the final boss before the evening
of 12/22, you will jump to 12/23 and receive a special Christmas scene and
receive an accessory, though this isn't worth the time you would have been
spending raising your Social Links, so wait as long as possible before taking on
the final boss. You're going to want to spend your remaining free days building
up your Social Links so you can have access to the advanced Personae.
When you enter the dungeon for the first time by talking to Teddie in the TV
world, you'll want to spend some time acquiring items; the treasures you find on
your trek there can be sold to unlock new armor.
This dungeon is made up of two areas. The first area, the Magatsu Inaba, has
three floors. Once you get to the 2nd floor of this area, you can't go back, and
you can't go to the third floor until you've gone through a bit of the other
area, called Magatsu Mandala, which is accessible in the center of this
floor.
When you get to the 3rd floor of Magatsu Mandala, you have to get through the
floor without getting into a fight with the shadows; if you do, you'll be
returned to the entrance of the dungeon. Use this to your advantage if you want
to exit the dungeon: get into a fight with a shadow on purpose to get booted,
then come back refreshed!
To get through the 3rd floor of Magatsu Mandala, go right at the first
intersection, left at the next, straight at the next, left at the next, left at
the next, right at the next, right at the next, and straight at the next two.
That should take you to the first boss of this dungeon, Chaos Fuzz.
Boss: Chaos Fuzz
HP: 600 • Suggested Level: 70
The Chaos Fuzz will use every turn to summon more Chaos Fuzzes,
as well as other enemies, so you'll want to throw up Tetrakarn and use
counterattack skills. Equip counterattacking accessories, while you're at it.
Use Charged attacks to hit multiple enemies and take them out as fast as you
can.
Fighting the Shadows on this floor will not boot you from the dungeon now.
Proceed to the 6th floor, then exit the dungeon to come back another day.
When you return, be prepared to face the 6th floor boss.
Boss: Envious Giant
HP: 3,333 • Suggested Level: 73
The Envious Giant is in love with the Megidoloan attack, which
it uses almost all the time, though it will randomly toss in a Tentarafoo to
Confuse you. Have the Protagonist equipped with an accessory to null Panic, and
use Amrita or Me Patra on someone if they become Panicked. Use physical attacks
on the Envious Giant. Keep your HP up with Mediarahan, especially just before
the boss's next turn, and use Masukukaja to dodge the
Megidolaons.
You can now access the final boss on the 3rd floor of Magatsu Inaba. Spend
any free days left building your levels in the dungeon before facing that final
challenge! Note that if you try to escape the dungeon from the Save Point just
before the final boss, you'll be taken back to the 6th floor of Magatsu Mandala,
not the entrance.
Boss: Adachi
HP: 4,200 • Suggested Level: 78
No, this isn't the final boss battle, but it leads
straight into it, so bear that in mind. Have Yosuke use Dekaja on the boss to
null the boosts of his Heat Riser skill, then use a Persona that can nullify
physical attacks to cripple his Vorpal Blade attack. Have accessories equipped
to boost your Evade, and a Bravery Vessel (or better) equipped to the
Protagonist, too. Use the appropriate Personae to cover any weaknesses your
party members have, and be prepared for Adachi to use Ghastly Wail and Evil
Smile when his HP gets low.
Boss: Ameno-sagiri
HP: 8,000 • Suggested Level: 78
First off, if your HP/SP is low from the battle with Adachi,
use a Soma to restore your party.
Ameno-sagiri gets two actions per turn, so you'll need to cover your
weaknesses with Makarakam or Magic Mirrors. Use Power Charge and Mind Charge to
attack the boss, and put the party on Manual control to make sure they use those
attacks. Boost your attacks with Matarukaja and Rakunda. Sukunda and Masukukaja
are also excellent at preventing attacks from hitting you.
Once you've knocked off a third of his HP, the boss will begin to use Nebula
Oculus. This hits everyone in the party for about 200 HP of damage. Cast
Mediarahan every turn, and eat some Soul Foods when your SP gets low.
Continue attacking until you've chipped away half of his health, at which
point he'll use Bewildering Fog and begin storing up energy for a powerful
attack against you. Make sure everyone's Manually controlled, and have them all
Guard until the powerful attack comes. In the meantime, you should also be
casting Dekaja on Ameno-sagiri to remove the buffs he gives himself.
When Ameno-sagiri's health reaches critically low levels, he'll use Quake to
damage characters for 150 HP. This attack can also knock someone down. Prevent
this by using Sukunda and Masukukaja. When he starts storing up power again,
remember to Guard, then go back on the offensive once the attack has been
executed. Continue using these strategies until the Ameno-sagiri is no
more!
The game will now jump to the evening of 12/23 if you defeated Ameno-sagiri
before 12/22, or the next day if you defeated him on 12/23 or 12/24.

Sight (unless this is your Second Cycle, in which case you'll get something
else). Now speak to the man in front of the Shopping District's Gas Station.
Enter the TV World now and you'll see that a new dungeon is available. Note
that once you enter the TV World, you cannot return to the real world! Here in
the TV World, you can revisit old dungeons and have a discount at the Weapon and
Dry Goods store.
Talk to Teddie when you're ready to access the new dungeon, Yomotsu
Hirasaka.
Yomotsu Hirasaka
This dungeon has nine floors, with bosses on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th floors. If
for some unearthly reason Rise has not learned Relaxing Wave by now, make sure
she's learned it before you attempt this dungeon!
In the center of the 3rd floor, you'll face your first boss, the Neo
Minotaur.
Boss: Neo Minotaur
HP: 4,240 • Suggested Level: 80
Bring along a Persona that can resist physical attacks and
you've got it made in the shade here. Boost some elemental attacks to take him
out quickly, and use Mediarahan after he uses a Rampage attack to keep your HP
up.
Proceed to the 6th floor to take on the next boss, the Sleeping Table.
Boss: Sleeping Table
HP: 2,000 • Suggested Level: 82
If you've played Persona 3, then you know this boss, and
are predisposed to hate it. And yes, you'll hate it here, too. Use a Persona
that protects against fire and light attacks, and have some Homunculus items to
further boost your protection. Use Amrita to cure anyone affected by its Evil
Smile as quickly as you can, because the boss can use Ghastly Wail to kill any
Frightened teammate. Have a Bravery Vessel equipped on the Protagonist is a
smart idea. Use your strongest attacks except light and dark skills to take the
Sleeping Table down.
Now make the final trek to the 9th floor, where you'll face the final boss of
the dungeon, Izanami.
Final Boss:
Izanami/Izanami-no-Okami
Izanami - HP: 3,500 • Izanami-no-Okami - HP: 8,000 • Suggested Level:
84
Izanami
You'll want to make sure you have all your teammates' weaknesses covered for
this battle; better yet, just use characters with no weaknesses at all. Use
Mediarahan or salvation to heal fully every turn, as Izanami's attacks can be
quite hard-hitting, in the 200-300 HP range. When she uses Mind Charge, have
everyone in the party Guard on the next turn, and heal up after the devastating
attack. Once Izanami's health is at critical levels, she'll keep reviving with 1
HP. You need to just keep attacking her and survive a few more rounds until the
Orb of Sight transforms Izanami into her final form...
Izanami-no-Okami
Use a Soma to get everyone back to 100%. The boss gets two actions per round,
and she'll use Mind Charge often, so Guard whenever she does. Use Dekunda if she
uses Marakunda to lower your defenses. Periodically, you should cast Sukunda
and/or Masukukaja to boost your evade rate, and use Personae that blocks
lightning attacks. Use Fire, Ice, and Wind skills against Izanami-no-Okami, and
don't bother with physical attacks at all, as they're too weak.
Once the boss's HP drops below the 50% mark, she'll begin to use Galgalim
Eyes (reduces your HP to 1) and Debilitate, as well as an attack that cuts off
half your teammates' HP. Use Dekunda to counter the effects of Debilitate, and
heal up your critical character after Galgalim Eyes with Salvation or
Mediarahan.
Once Izanami-no-Okami's HP drops to near-zero, she'll try to remove the
Protagonist from the battle with a skill that triggers a cutscene. You are now
invincible and can use the Myriad Truth skill to finish off
Izanami-no-Okami!
You have now unlocked the game's True Ending. Enjoy it! Afterward, save your
game in a clear-game file, then continue from that file to start your Second
Cycle playthrough
4/11
After inputting the Protagonist's name, watch the introduction scenes, and
when you have control, save your game at the calendar on the wall. Head upstairs
and lie down on the futon to take part in the dream sequence. In the dream, run
forward to the end of the path, examine the large block, then get ready for a
fight. You can't lose this fight, so don't worry about failing. This is a good
time to try out your various skills, so experiment to your heart's content.
After the being disappears, wait a couple turns for the battle to end.
4/12
Watch more introduction scenes in the early morning of this rainy Tuesday,
and during your conversation, pick the "You calling me a loser?" option to
increase your Courage. Watch more scenes throughout the rest of the day.
4/13
More scenes to watch. In the morning, you'll have a lecture, which increases
your Knowledge. Watch more scenes for the rest of the day, then return to your
room to watch the Midnight Channel.
4/14
You'll have a pop quiz this morning; choose "When Jesus was born" to gain a
boost to your Knowledge. After school you'll head off to Junes, where you'll
enter the TV there. In the conversation inside the TV, choose the "Are you guys
okay?" dialogue to increase your Understanding.
4/15
Lots of scenes to watch today. After school, select the "I'm worried about
Chie" option to gain a boost to your Understanding. You'll have your first real
fights today. Your first battle is against a pair of Slipping Hableries. Use the
Zio skill to knock them down, then use normal attacks to defeat them. After
that, you have a boss fight!
When Shadow Yosuke guards, it usually means
it's about to unleash its Wind attack; do likewise and Guard!
Boss: Shadow Yosuke
HP: 300 • Suggested Level: 2
Shadow Yosuke's Forgetful Wind can knock you down here, so be
sure to always Guard when the boss is about to use it (it will often Guard just
before it does), or when it uses Power Charge to boost its next attack. When you
aren't Guarding, spam Zio to knock Shadow Yosuke down, then follow it up with an
attack. Conserve your SP for this specific
purpose!
Yosuke will now join your party, along with his Persona, Jiraiya. Head back
to your room for the evening to receive the Velvet Key, which allows you
access to the Velvet Room starting April 17th.
4/16
Watch the early morning scenes, after which the Magician Social Link (I) can
be established by speaking with Yosuke. Watch the remaining scenes to end the
day, and the first week.
4/17 - 4/23
4/17
Talk to Teddie at the gate to Yukiko's Castle
for some free supplies.
Watch the scenes that play today, and you'll eventually end up at the Metal
Works store and receive 5,000 yen. Buy a new weapon each for the
Protagonist and Yosuke, then leave the shop.
The door to the Velvet Room will appear next to you now, so unlock it with
the Velvet Key to visit it and begin to learn about Persona Fusion.
Exit the shop area now to the north or south and head to the Food Court at
the Junes department store. The events will take you to the Gate of Yukiko's
Castle, your first dungeon. Talk to Teddie for Peach Seed x5, Soul
Drop x5, and a Revival Bead.
Yukiko's Castle
Enter the castle now and head up to the second floor. Fight as many enemies
as you can to earn EXP and raise levels. Try to get to level 6 if you can.
Use Garu on Shadow Chie until she uses Green Wall, at
which point you should use Rakunda to weaken her again.
As you fight enemies, you may get a chance to pick a Persona card after a
battle from the Shuffle Time game. If you happen to pick an Angel card, hold
onto it, and equip it just before you fight the boss. Conserve your Soul Drops,
and use them to replenish your SP when you're ready to face the boss on the
second floor, Shadow Chie.
Boss: Shadow Chie
HP: 1,000 • Suggested Level: 6
Shadow Chie starts out weak to Wind attacks, which makes Yosuke
your best friend here as he uses Garu. Unfortunately, though, Shadow Chie will
throw up Green Wall that makes her resistant to Wind after she's hit with Garu.
If you have the Angel Persona equipped, switch to Izanagi and cast Rakunda to
lower her defenses. Hit her with physical attacks or switch back to Angel, and
cast Rakunda every now and then. If she hits Yosuke with Mazio and inflicts
Dizzy, use a Medicine to heal him and continue the assault until Shadow Chie
goes down.
Chie is now a playable character, and a Social Link will be established for
Fool Arcana.
4/18
Before class, you'll establish a Chariot Social Link with Chie. Don't worry
about not having the Courage to give some of the responses to Chie; you'll be
able to give them on a second playthrough.
Talk to this student to start your first
sidequest.
You have until April 29th to rescue Yukiko from the castle, and to do that
you must defeat the boss on the 8th floor. That's 11 days from today, so you
should spend three of those days working your way through the castle, starting
today. Try to get to the fifth floor, then escape the dungeon before facing the
boss. We'll come back here on the 27th to deal with that.
There's a Pop Quiz in class; choose "The" to increase your Knowledge.
After school, the Who's the Riddle Master?! sidequest becomes
available.
You can also go see your friends at the Food Court at Junes and enter the TV
to explore the Yukiko's Castle dungeon (covered later).
4/19
Head to the Faculty Office and ask to join a club, then take the Emergency
Exit on the 1st floor to the gym to establish a Strength (XI) Social Link.
4/20
Talk with Yosuke. During the afternoon conversation, select the "Millennium"
answer to increase your Expression and the Magician Social Link.
After school, the A Great Man book is available to purchase at the
Yomanaido Bookstore in the Shopping District. A Magician Social Link is also
available.
4/21
Talk with Yosuke in the early morning. A Strength Social Link is available
after school.
4/22
Talk with Yosuke in the early morning. A Magician Social Link is

4/23
There's a Pop Quiz during glass; choose the "They were by the riverside"
answer to boost your Expression and Magician Social Link.
After school, check out the Job Board at the north end of the Shopping
District, on the left side of the street. Easily the best job available is the
Assistant Day Car Caretaker position, since it pays better and rewards you with
the Temperance Social Link after your second day of work. But you don't have to
take on a job if you're too busy doing other things!
A Strength Social Link is available now, as is a Magician one if you've saved
Yukiko.
4/24 - 4/30
4/24
A Strength Social Link is available via your cell phone, as is a Magician
link.
4/25
There's a Pop Quiz in class; choose "8 A.M." to boost your Knowledge.
The Girl on the Rooftop sidequest is available after
school.
The Assistant Day Care Caretaker job is available today.
If you've saved Yukiko, a Magician Social Link is available. You can also
establish a Sun (XIX) Social Link by going to the Faculty Office, asking to join
a club, going to the Practice Building, then entering the Meeting Room to join
the Drama Club or the Music Room to join the Music Club.
If you've saved Yukiko, you can make lunch for tomorrow from the food in the
fridge. Choose to score it with a knife to receive the Aromatic Pork
Ginger and three Baits.
4/26
Talk to Chie in the early morning.
There's a Pop Quiz in class: answer "It's a perfect number" to increase your
Expression and Chariot Social Link.
During lunch today, you can share the meal you made (see previous day's
activities) with one of your classmates. Select someone you have a Social Link
with to increase that link slightly.
If you saved Yukiko, a Chariot Social Link is available. Strength and Sun are
also available.
In the evening, you can eat a snack to increase your Courage (you can do this
only once) if you made lunch after rescuing Yukiko.
4/27
Nothing special happens today, making it an ideal day to tackle Day 2 of your
three-day assault on Yukiko's Castle. Return to the fifth floor to deal with the
boss, an Avenger Knight. Make sure you're all healed up before attacking
him!
Have your allies use skills like Bufu against
the Avenger Knight, since it's strong to physical attacks.
Boss: Avenger Knight
HP: 430 • Suggested Level: 11
The easiest way to take down the strong Avenger Knight is to
acquire a Slime Persona from a Shuffle Time game, then raise it to level 7. At
that point, it will have learned Tarunda and Resist Physical. Use these two
skills to keep the Protagonist nearly invincible in this battle. Your allies
will gradually learn to use Bufu and Garu against the Knight, which is strong
against their physical
attacks.
You'll obtain the Glass Key after the fight. Now plow your way up to
the 8th floor and use the Save Point there. If you have any remaining SP, go
back down to the 6th and 7th Floors to level grind until you run out, then
escape from the dungeon.
4/28
If you have saved Yukiko by now, talk to Chie in the early morning. After
school, the Sun Social Link is available.
4/29
You have to rescue Yukiko before Evening today, or it's Game Over for you,
friend. Head off to the castle and return to the 8th floor, then pass through
the doors to face the boss, Shadow Yukiko. Before you tackle this battle, you'll
probably want to level up a Slime and an Ukobach Persona until they've learned
all their skills, then combine them in a triangle fusion to create an Archangle
with Resist Fire, Resist Physical, and Red Wall. Level up the Archangel to
12.
Protect Chie in the battle with Shadow Yukiko
with Red Wall.
Boss: Shadow Yukiko
HP: 1,050 • Suggested Level: 15
When the battle begins, cast Red Wall on Chie, and then again
intermittently to keep her safe. Chie's presence will prevent the summoned
Charming Price from using Diarama. Your leveled-up Archangel will get you
through this battle easily with its Media spell. Use a TaP Soda (purchased from
the vending machine by the medicine shop) if your SP gets
low.
4/30
Talk to Yukiko in the early morning. In the Pop Quiz in class, answer "Mt.
Olympus" to boost your Knowledge. After that, just watch the cutscenes that
bring this month to a close.
May
5/1 - 5/7
5/1
You can go revisit Yukiko's castle now and battle the Contrarian King on the
8th floor for a new weapon for Yukiko (check the stairs in front of the throne
after you defeat him for it) if you want, but there are other things to do now.
For instance, if you go down by the river's edge you'll meet an old man who

spend your day or evening fishing from now on, if you so choose.

quizzes in the afternoon on the day you do this, making today a great day to

To continue the Kanji quest, go back to Junes today and talk to the guy who
knows Kanji. Now head into the TV to speak with Teddie and unlock the next
dungeon, the Steamy Bathhouse. This dungeon has 11 floors and bosses on the 7th
and 11th floors, but don't start it today. Tomorrow's better.
5/20
After school, the Moon, Hermit, and Temperance Social Links are available. In
the evening, the Justice link is also available.
Steamy Bathhouse
Today's a good day to get started on the Kanji dungeon. Try to get to the 7th
floor and clear it, but don't take on the boss just yet, just escape for now,
and come back between the 21st and 29th, or June 3rd. On your next trip here,
take on the boss:
Daring Gigas uses a lot of Power Charged
attacks, so use a Persona that resists physical attacks.
Boss: Daring Gigas
HP: 928 • Suggested Level: 23
Before this battle, make sure you've got plenty of Revival
Beads and equip any Falcon Eyes you've found. The Sukunda skill is your friend
here, so make sure you've got it. Daring Gigas uses attacks such as Rebellion,
Power Charge, Turkaja, and Single Shot, so you'll want to have a good Persona
for your Protagonist that resists physical attacks. Rakashasa's a good one; fuse
Legion and Berith to get it.
You'll obtain the Bathhouse Key after the battle. This allows you open
the locked door to the stairs on the 3rd floor. Keep going up to the 11th floor,
use the Save Point there, then escape the dungeon. When you return to the 11th
floor a fresh, ready-for-bear party on your third trip here, be prepared for a
fight against three bosses! Have Cool Beads equipped, and bring along some
Dokudami Teas. And your Rakashasa Persona will work well here.
Each of the three targets in the battle with
Shadow Kanji has a different elemental weakness, so don't use group
attacks!
Bosses: Shadow Kanji, Nice Guy, Tough
Guy
Kanji - HP: 2,000 • Nice Guy & Tough Guy - HP: 800 each • Suggested
Level: 27
Set your allies to Manual here, because they won't ever seem to
learn not to use group attacks: the Nice Guy absorbs Ice attacks, and the Tough
Guy absorbs Fire and physical attacks. Take out Nice Guy first, since he can
heal Kanji and boost his stats. You may want to switch to a Persona that uses
Dekaja so you can strip Nice Guy of his buffs. After you take out Nice Guy, use
Tarunda or Sakunda to get rid of any buffs Shadow Kanji has, then take down
Tough Guy. Once they're gone, you can switch your allies off Manual control to
finish off Kanji.
Hopefully you have done this by June 4th, or it's Game Over!
5/21
If you've saved Kanji by today (an unlikely prospect, but possible), the
Magician Social Link is available today. Otherwise, the Hermit, Strength,

the Tower Social Link on your second day of work.

mother. That's all you can do for the investigation today.

Marukyu Striptease (Strip Bar)
Now head to Junes and enter the TV to begin the next dungeon, Marukyu
Striptease. This dungeon has 11 floors, with bosses on the 7th and 11th floors.
Start clearing the dungeon today, getting up to the 7th floor and clearing it
(except for the boss).
Come back on July 1st to deal with the boss on the 7th floor:
Don't bother curing yourself if you're
Poisoned; you'll be cured after this brief battle.
Boss: Amorous Snake
HP: 1,012 • Suggested Level: 32
Thankfully, the Amorous Snake isn't very difficult to defeat.
It will try to poison you, but if it succeeds, just ignore it, because you'll be
cured from it after the battle. It may also hit you with other ailments, and
those you should try to cure as soon as possible. Keep your HP above 100 at all
times and just keep attacking until the snake goes toes-up. So to
speak.
Open the chest here for a Soma, then head up to the 11th floor and use
the Save Point there. Exit the dungeon, and come back on July 8th or 9th to
finish the job. Put Chie in your party instead of Yukiko, and put your team's
tactics to Manual for the boss fight on the 11th floor.
Use fire-based skills on Shadow
Rise.
Boss: Shadow Rise
HP: 2,800 • Suggested Level: 35
Have Chie guarding at all times while the rest of your party
uses Fire attacks on Shadow Rise. Once you've knocked her down to 50% of her
health, Rise will use Supreme Insight to find out your party's weaknesses. Now
set your team's tactics to Guard, and you should also Guard. Guard for three
rounds until the battle
ends.
When Shadow Teddie starts charging up for a
major attack, wait for Rise to tell you to Guard, then Guard!
Rise will join you now to help you with a fight against Shadow Teddie.
Boss: Shadow Teddie
HP: 5,000 • Suggested Level: 35
Here's where having Chie in your party will come in handy,
because she'll use Mind Charge often and follow it up with Mabufula. Use a
Persona that protects you from Ice attacks, and start attacking with physical
attacks. Use Mouthwash if he tries to mute you. After a while of attacking,
Shadow Teddie will start charging up an attack. Wait for Rise to tell you to
guard, then turn off your party's AI and have everyone Guard in order to survive
the attack.

Void Quest
Speak to the guy outside the Tofu store today and you'll be able to enter
Mitsuo's dungeon, Void Quest. This is a 10-floor dungeon with bosses on the 7th
and 10th floors. Spend today getting to the 7th floor, clear it, but save the
boss for your return.
If the Killing Hand summons an Almighty Hand to
the battle, kill it with wind skills, then go back to using physical attacks on
the boss.
Come back to the dungeon on 8/6 to take on the 7th floor boss battle.
Boss: Killing Hand
HP: 885 • Suggested Level: 40
The Killing Hand itself isn't all that difficult, and can be
defeated with simple physical attacks. What adds a little spice to this
battle is that the Killing Hand can periodically summon an Almighty Hand to the
battle. The Almighty Hand can heal the Killing Hand, but it doesn't have much HP
and is weak to Wind attacks, so lay into it whenever it appears, then get back
to hammering on the boss. This shouldn't take
long.
Check the chest in this room for an Orb of Darkness, then head to the
10th floor. Use the Save Point there, then escape the dungeon.
Return on or before August 12th to take on the boss on the 10th floor. To
prepare, equip the Protagonist with a Bravery Vessel or similar accessory to
protect against the boss's status-effect spells. Fuse Ose with a Power to create
a Pyro Jack, then create a Black Frost so that it can inherit Power Charge from
the Pyro Jack. You'll see why soon enough.
You can't even attack Shadow Mitsuo until you
deal with this largy, boxy sprite!
Boss: Shadow Mitsuo
HP: 4,000 • Suggested Level: 43
Unlike the last battle, this one's tough, and long! At the
start of the battle, Mitsuo will summon a large sprite to protect itself from
attack, and you must destroy the sprite before you can damage Shadow Mitsuo. All
well and good, except that the sprite can be created again and again, and
Mitsuo gets two actions per turn.
Begin by chipping away at the sprite until it's destroyed. Mitsuo's Shadow
will often use an elemental spell, so if you have any characters weak to that
element, switch them to Manual control and set them to Guard until Mitsuo begins
to rebuild the sprite.
While Mitsuo's Shadow is exposed, you need to use Power Charge as often as
possible. Use Rakunda as well to boost your damage output. You should be able to
knock down Mitsuo's Shadow and release an All-Out Attack before it tries to
rebuild the sprite. Continue using this strategy until Mitsuo's Shadow is
finished.

to the cop at the Shopping District's north end. Now go talk to Chie at the
Floodplain, then return to the cop and talk to him again. That's all for
today.
9/17
Pop quiz in class today: answer "To make profit from spices" to boost your
Knowledge.
The Hermit, Temperance, and Strength links are available today, and the Tower
link is available in the evening.
Continue your investigation today. Talk to the cop at the southern side of
the Shopping District to learn that Naoto "has an obsession with the case" and
that the "police consider him a child." Rise should now have enough info to find
the Secret Laboratory dungeon.
Secret Laboratory
The Secret Lab has 9 floors, with bosses on the 4th and 9th floor. To get to
the 4th floor boss, though, you must obtain the Research Card from the
6th floor, then go back down to the 4th floor and use the card to unlock the
door to the boss. On your first day in this dungeon, just make your way to the
6th floor, get the Research Card, and exit the dungeon.
Return to the dungeon no later than 10/1 and head up to the 4th floor to take
on the boss there.
Boss: Dominating
Machine
HP: 3,070 • Suggested Level: 50
The Dominating Machine is very predictable, as it will only
ever use Power Charge and follow that with a physical attack that hits everyone
in your party. Use Sakunda to lower its hit rate, then use Mediarama after every
one of the boss's attacks. For this reason, having Teddie and Yukiko manually
controled in the party is very beneficial. As for your offensive, use Power
Charge and Mind Charge to boost the Protagonist's attack power, and use Rakunda
and Matarukaja as well.
You'll now have the Leader Card that allows you to unlock the door on
the 6th floor. Head through that door and continue to the 9th floor. Save your
game at the Save Point, then exit the dungeon.
Return on or before 10/5 to tackle the dungeon's 9th floor boss, Shadow
Naoto.
Boss: Shadow Naoto
HP: 5,500 • Suggested Level: 54
Before the battle begins, equip your teammates with accessories
that help them evade their weaknesses. You'll want to cast Sakunda and
Masukukaja constantly to boost your evade rate, as this boss likes to use spells
to target your weaknesses. Keep your HP above 300 at all times by using
Mediarama or Diarahan! Depending on which attack Shadow Naoto hits you with,
you'll want to respond properly: If you're hit with Debilitate, cast Dekunda. If
you're hit with Mute Ray, switch the afflicted character to Manual and Guard
until the effect wears off. If you're knocked unconscious, take that character
off of guard stance and use a Revival Bead. If the boss casts Galgalim Eyes, use
Diarahan, then cure the enervation. If Naoto uses Heat Riser, cast Dekaja.
Eventually, Shadow Naoto will start using Mind Charge; respond by casting
Makarakarn and using Magic
Mirrors.

You now have until 11/20 to rescue Nanako from the new dungeon, Heaven, or
it's Game Over for you. This new dungeon has 10 floors, with bosses on the 7th
and 10th floors. The rainy days to tackle this dungeon are 11/11, 11/18, 11/19,
and 11/20 (but note that 11/20 is the last rainy day before the game's final
boss).
Heaven
The best plan is to clear the way to the 7th floor, then go back down to the
entrance and swap in some fresh teammates with full SP to deal with the 7th
floor boss.
Boss: World Balance
HP: 1,200 • Suggested Level: 60
The World Balance always uses Mind Charge and follows it up
with a skill to exploit one of your teammates' weaknesses. Use Diarahan and
Samarecarm, and just go to town on this low-HP boss. It shouldn't last very
long.
Proceed to the 10th floor, use the Save Point, and exit the dungeon.
Return no later than 11/20 and take on the 10th floor boss. Make sure the
Protagonist can use Ice, Elec, Wind, and Fire skills, as well as Mind Charge,
Makarakarn, Samarecarm, and Mediarahan. Have Personae that have Null, Repel,
and/or Absorb Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind.
Boss: Kunino-sagiri
HP: 8,500 • Suggested Level: 64
When the battle begins, start attacking the boss until you've
chipped away about a third of his health. At that point, the boss will use Quad
Converge, which makes your party much more susceptible to one element. This
includes the boss, so you can exploit this! Switch your party to Manual control
and make everyone Guard. Watch to see which elemental skill the boss uses, then
use Makarakarn or a Magic Mirror on any character already weak to that element.
Now use that same element to attack the boss!
After Kunino-sagiri's health drops to 50%, it will take control of one of
your teammates for two turns. Switch to a Persona that can resist or null this
character's attacks, and keep attacking the boss. Once its HP drops to 25%, it
will take control of all three of your teammates. Switch to a Persona that can
block physical attacks and Guard for a couple turns until the teammates are
freed from the boss's grasp.
When Kunino-sagiri's health is very low, expect it to use Unerring Justice,
which can damage you for up to around 200 HP! Use Masukukaja and Sukunda to
boost your chances of evading it. Continue attacking the boss, as it's almost
dead! It should drop soon at this point in the
battle.

- The old man next to the woman in front of the Shrine.

- The man with a gas mask in the Shopping District's north end.
- The girl by Yosuke in the Shopping District's south end.

After school, the Strength, Hanged Man, Hermit, Sun, and Moon Social Links
are available. In the evening, the Devil and Tower links are available.
Magatsu Inaba/Mandala
Starting today, you have until 12/24 to enter the final dungeon and capture
the suspect, or it's Game Over. If you defeat the final boss before the evening
of 12/22, you will jump to 12/23 and receive a special Christmas scene and
receive an accessory, though this isn't worth the time you would have been
spending raising your Social Links, so wait as long as possible before taking on
the final boss. You're going to want to spend your remaining free days building
up your Social Links so you can have access to the advanced Personae.
When you enter the dungeon for the first time by talking to Teddie in the TV
world, you'll want to spend some time acquiring items; the treasures you find on
your trek there can be sold to unlock new armor.
This dungeon is made up of two areas. The first area, the Magatsu Inaba, has
three floors. Once you get to the 2nd floor of this area, you can't go back, and
you can't go to the third floor until you've gone through a bit of the other
area, called Magatsu Mandala, which is accessible in the center of this
floor.
When you get to the 3rd floor of Magatsu Mandala, you have to get through the
floor without getting into a fight with the shadows; if you do, you'll be
returned to the entrance of the dungeon. Use this to your advantage if you want
to exit the dungeon: get into a fight with a shadow on purpose to get booted,
then come back refreshed!
To get through the 3rd floor of Magatsu Mandala, go right at the first
intersection, left at the next, straight at the next, left at the next, left at
the next, right at the next, right at the next, and straight at the next two.
That should take you to the first boss of this dungeon, Chaos Fuzz.
Boss: Chaos Fuzz
HP: 600 • Suggested Level: 70
The Chaos Fuzz will use every turn to summon more Chaos Fuzzes,
as well as other enemies, so you'll want to throw up Tetrakarn and use
counterattack skills. Equip counterattacking accessories, while you're at it.
Use Charged attacks to hit multiple enemies and take them out as fast as you
can.
Fighting the Shadows on this floor will not boot you from the dungeon now.
Proceed to the 6th floor, then exit the dungeon to come back another day.
When you return, be prepared to face the 6th floor boss.
Boss: Envious Giant
HP: 3,333 • Suggested Level: 73
The Envious Giant is in love with the Megidoloan attack, which
it uses almost all the time, though it will randomly toss in a Tentarafoo to
Confuse you. Have the Protagonist equipped with an accessory to null Panic, and
use Amrita or Me Patra on someone if they become Panicked. Use physical attacks
on the Envious Giant. Keep your HP up with Mediarahan, especially just before
the boss's next turn, and use Masukukaja to dodge the
Megidolaons.
You can now access the final boss on the 3rd floor of Magatsu Inaba. Spend
any free days left building your levels in the dungeon before facing that final
challenge! Note that if you try to escape the dungeon from the Save Point just
before the final boss, you'll be taken back to the 6th floor of Magatsu Mandala,
not the entrance.
Boss: Adachi
HP: 4,200 • Suggested Level: 78
No, this isn't the final boss battle, but it leads
straight into it, so bear that in mind. Have Yosuke use Dekaja on the boss to
null the boosts of his Heat Riser skill, then use a Persona that can nullify
physical attacks to cripple his Vorpal Blade attack. Have accessories equipped
to boost your Evade, and a Bravery Vessel (or better) equipped to the
Protagonist, too. Use the appropriate Personae to cover any weaknesses your
party members have, and be prepared for Adachi to use Ghastly Wail and Evil
Smile when his HP gets low.
Boss: Ameno-sagiri
HP: 8,000 • Suggested Level: 78
First off, if your HP/SP is low from the battle with Adachi,
use a Soma to restore your party.
Ameno-sagiri gets two actions per turn, so you'll need to cover your
weaknesses with Makarakam or Magic Mirrors. Use Power Charge and Mind Charge to
attack the boss, and put the party on Manual control to make sure they use those
attacks. Boost your attacks with Matarukaja and Rakunda. Sukunda and Masukukaja
are also excellent at preventing attacks from hitting you.
Once you've knocked off a third of his HP, the boss will begin to use Nebula
Oculus. This hits everyone in the party for about 200 HP of damage. Cast
Mediarahan every turn, and eat some Soul Foods when your SP gets low.
Continue attacking until you've chipped away half of his health, at which
point he'll use Bewildering Fog and begin storing up energy for a powerful
attack against you. Make sure everyone's Manually controlled, and have them all
Guard until the powerful attack comes. In the meantime, you should also be
casting Dekaja on Ameno-sagiri to remove the buffs he gives himself.
When Ameno-sagiri's health reaches critically low levels, he'll use Quake to
damage characters for 150 HP. This attack can also knock someone down. Prevent
this by using Sukunda and Masukukaja. When he starts storing up power again,
remember to Guard, then go back on the offensive once the attack has been
executed. Continue using these strategies until the Ameno-sagiri is no
more!
The game will now jump to the evening of 12/23 if you defeated Ameno-sagiri
before 12/22, or the next day if you defeated him on 12/23 or 12/24.

Epilogue
3/20/2012
Today you can go talk to any character you have a maxed Social Link with. Use
this list to see where they can be found.
- Magician: At Junes.
- Priestess: Take the bus from the Shopping District to the Amagi
Inn. - Empress: In front of the Velvet Room door in the Shopping
District. - Emperor: In front of the Dye store in the Shopping District.
- Hierophant: In front of Dojima's house.
- Lovers: In front of Rise's mother's Tofu store in the Shopping
District. - Chariot: In front of the Bookstore.
- Justice: Nanako can be found in front of her house.
- Hermit: At the Shrine in the Shopping District.
- Fortune: On the 1st floor hallway of the school.
- Strength: At the Aiya Restaurant in the Shopping District.
- Hanged Man: In front of the Liquor Store in the Shopping
District. - Death: At the Riverbank's edge.
- Temperance: Take the bus from the Shopping District to the hill above
the town. - Devil: Take the bus from the Shopping District to the Hospital.
- Tower: In front of the Shiroku store in the Shopping Disctrict.
- Star: If you've maxed out your Magician link, Teddie will be at the
Food Court in Junes. If not, then he'll be in front of the Shiroku store in the
Shopping District. - Moon: In the lobby of the school.
- Sun (Music): In the school's Music Room.
- Sun (Drama): In the school's Drama Club Room.
You'll be asked to go to your house now. Go there if you want to see the
Normal Ending. If, on the other hand, you wish to see the game's True Ending, go
to Junes and check the elevator. You'll be asked if you want to go home. Say
"No," then check the elevator again. Say "I'm not finished yet," then say "Yes."
Watch the event that follows, then head to the Floodplain. Speak to Dojima
and Nanako, then head to the Velvet Room. Igor will give you the Orb of
Sight (unless this is your Second Cycle, in which case you'll get something
else). Now speak to the man in front of the Shopping District's Gas Station.
Enter the TV World now and you'll see that a new dungeon is available. Note
that once you enter the TV World, you cannot return to the real world! Here in
the TV World, you can revisit old dungeons and have a discount at the Weapon and
Dry Goods store.
Talk to Teddie when you're ready to access the new dungeon, Yomotsu
Hirasaka.
Yomotsu Hirasaka
This dungeon has nine floors, with bosses on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th floors. If
for some unearthly reason Rise has not learned Relaxing Wave by now, make sure
she's learned it before you attempt this dungeon!
In the center of the 3rd floor, you'll face your first boss, the Neo
Minotaur.
Boss: Neo Minotaur
HP: 4,240 • Suggested Level: 80
Bring along a Persona that can resist physical attacks and
you've got it made in the shade here. Boost some elemental attacks to take him
out quickly, and use Mediarahan after he uses a Rampage attack to keep your HP
up.
Proceed to the 6th floor to take on the next boss, the Sleeping Table.
Boss: Sleeping Table
HP: 2,000 • Suggested Level: 82
If you've played Persona 3, then you know this boss, and
are predisposed to hate it. And yes, you'll hate it here, too. Use a Persona
that protects against fire and light attacks, and have some Homunculus items to
further boost your protection. Use Amrita to cure anyone affected by its Evil
Smile as quickly as you can, because the boss can use Ghastly Wail to kill any
Frightened teammate. Have a Bravery Vessel equipped on the Protagonist is a
smart idea. Use your strongest attacks except light and dark skills to take the
Sleeping Table down.
Now make the final trek to the 9th floor, where you'll face the final boss of
the dungeon, Izanami.
Final Boss:
Izanami/Izanami-no-Okami
Izanami - HP: 3,500 • Izanami-no-Okami - HP: 8,000 • Suggested Level:
84
Izanami
You'll want to make sure you have all your teammates' weaknesses covered for
this battle; better yet, just use characters with no weaknesses at all. Use
Mediarahan or salvation to heal fully every turn, as Izanami's attacks can be
quite hard-hitting, in the 200-300 HP range. When she uses Mind Charge, have
everyone in the party Guard on the next turn, and heal up after the devastating
attack. Once Izanami's health is at critical levels, she'll keep reviving with 1
HP. You need to just keep attacking her and survive a few more rounds until the
Orb of Sight transforms Izanami into her final form...
Izanami-no-Okami
Use a Soma to get everyone back to 100%. The boss gets two actions per round,
and she'll use Mind Charge often, so Guard whenever she does. Use Dekunda if she
uses Marakunda to lower your defenses. Periodically, you should cast Sukunda
and/or Masukukaja to boost your evade rate, and use Personae that blocks
lightning attacks. Use Fire, Ice, and Wind skills against Izanami-no-Okami, and
don't bother with physical attacks at all, as they're too weak.
Once the boss's HP drops below the 50% mark, she'll begin to use Galgalim
Eyes (reduces your HP to 1) and Debilitate, as well as an attack that cuts off
half your teammates' HP. Use Dekunda to counter the effects of Debilitate, and
heal up your critical character after Galgalim Eyes with Salvation or
Mediarahan.
Once Izanami-no-Okami's HP drops to near-zero, she'll try to remove the
Protagonist from the battle with a skill that triggers a cutscene. You are now
invincible and can use the Myriad Truth skill to finish off
Izanami-no-Okami!
You have now unlocked the game's True Ending. Enjoy it! Afterward, save your
game in a clear-game file, then continue from that file to start your Second
Cycle playthrough
