- Persona 5's Joker is too perfect at times. So what if we did the entire game with only level 1 social stats? Is it possible to beat the game without levelling up a single social stat while playing on the hardest difficulty? Well, let's find out! Part 2 will be made if this video gets a lot of likes and views.

oh you just had to ffucking light me up and have all of china know i exist huh
@@reesewhittington6778 why are you swearing at him
“You are videos sucks lol”
i like how not raising social skills almost immediately leads joker to becoming a gymcel that spends all his time working out and taking protein
So persona 5 but I’m Akihiko
God, the amount of protein buying in this run makes Akihiko proud!
He’s been waiting for this video!!😄😄
Training half as much as he expected p3s MC to
This run could’ve been named ‘A socially awkward fitness addict on his journey to find the forbidden protein’
so mashle?
another reason you couldnt get the crown is cuz you sent ann. sending ann is scripted to never work
Wait, really?
@@bestaround3323 yep
@@bestaround3323 yea Ann never works for plot reasons, Morgana is a 50/50, Ryuji always works, also for plot reasons
@@ubermaster1I thought Morgana is guaranteed to work while Ryuji isn't.
@@bestaround3323 Each party member has a quote when you hover over them while choosing
Ann says something like 'ugh...he wont stop looking at me' which is a pretty direct hint that she cant go to take the crown
Huh. It's almost like Chie and Akihiko both got together to write the script for this particular run.
C: "We should have him really into working out! That's always a good time!"
A: "Ooh, yeah! Plus we should have him always use-"
A & C: "-protein before hand to get better results!"
C: "Ahh! We're geniuses!"
A: "For sure! I've been waiting to make a story like this!"
* Chie and Akihiko do an air-jump high five with both of them excitedly yelling, "Yeah!" with a freeze frame right after the high five lands. Roll credits. *
Thing about the crown.
You sent Ann. The game is scripted for Ann not to work when you send her out because Kamoshida always has his eye on her.
wow, i didnt know about that fact eventhough i've finished the game a few times.
I never understood how people don't realize that since she always says he keeps looking at her
I tried this the first time I played, since Morgana was my healer and Ryuji was my primary physical attacker. When Kamoshida noticed her, I learned my lesson.
and ryuji almost always works because Kamoshida doesn’t care for him whatsoever
@@anastasiao4036 Maybe because the rest of the game usually excludes that type of story gameplay interaction?
this challenge is the embodiment of that one jacksfilms meme "you know what is missing? that's right P R O T E I N"
So while the camera was off, I added a little protein
The first part of this is just downing proteins and hanging with Ryuji.
Getting buff with your homie
I'm in a love hate relationship with you memeing shiho's death every challenge
She lives
@@NihilistCoomerLord well I know but she trys to die
@@Ieatrabies123 I still think the biggest plot hole in persona is a failed suicide attempt
@@Cryptic_Diamond every summon in persona 3 is a suicide attempt
@@yeetsuke2786 Uhh... remind me,evoker's just dont do anything on failed summon attempt,right ?
the true ryuji romance route
For taking the clown, I’m pretty sure no matter what Kamoshida always notices Ann. Sending Ryuji even with poor damage would probably work
“Shiho fails the diving test” jesus christ lmao
So this joker is only friends with ryugi. Got it
At first I thought this challenge run couldn't turn out to be too difficult. Then I remembered that crafting gives you proficiency points. And that certain confidants require a certain level of a specific social stat. Now, that's gonna be entertaining!
So basically, live like Akihiko. No friends, no hobbies, only protein.
A little tip for those facing Kamoshida on Merciless: use Rakunda to lower his defense and Tarunda to lower his attack, the lowered defense is crucial and allows you to actually do enough damage to get the crown. I had to get crafty and fused Pyro Jack w/Pixie to get Bicorn then Bicorn and Pixie to get Slime w/Rakunda and Tarunda.
That is what I did: I explicitly used Joker for debuffing Kamoshida, getting shots in if I could, meanwhile Ann and Ryuji laid on the damage. EDIT: I even took a chance and used Tarukaja on Ann w/ Ryuji and thankfully I still managed to do enough damage to get the crown.
im surprised most ppl didn’t know about Ann not being able to steal the crown
aw yeah, my man Shiki-Ouji. I keep that persona for the rest of the game.
Also, it's good that Insta-Kill (Ryuji 7) got patched in Royal, in the first game, it awarded no exp, money or persona. meaning that Rank 7 was a heavy debuff.
It actually gave you the Persona, but no XP for it if you already owned it
@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 no exp to grind stronger persona, and no money to fuse.
Yeah I'm really glad I didn't do much of his confidant until Shido my first run
At first, I thought this is a no confidants run!
I'm going to binge this. You did a good job summarizing, there's so much to this game it's so long. It's interesting to see how much content you're locked out of from not raising social stats! I imagine it's going to snowball badly later on.
Can you beat persona 5 as akihiko.
So Persona 5 except Joker took successive Phineas Gage level injuries from his interrogation, and desperately fails to dissociates his pain with what he tells Sae
This could be called “Persona 5 Royal but Joker’s an asshole to his confidants” and it’d be the same video
Yusuke snapping madarame's neck off screen was honestly hilarious
then melee with morgana and Ryuji:
shows clip of Ryuji missing.
These are just my social stats in real life.
The anti-social run.
Such as good video with such little views, I hope this blows up soon
I like how this challenge is mostly just trying to scrape by in merciless
ive seen a playthrough where someone got past yaldabaoth (3rd semester was literally impossible with the ruleset they had in place) by doing nothing so i sadly already know the outcome of this challenge but it will still be fun to watch the "how"
20:07 That reference was smoooooth
Love that😆
That is the elephant in the room
Well, is it relevant to assume
that a man who wears perfume
is automatically matically fay?
24:45 The best strat for Madarame first phase on Merciless is to focus on the top Left eye (kill it). He will then focus on "reviving" his missing piece (was that the word the game used?), which makes the fight A LOT easier.
Akihiko senpai approves of this run and the use of the various levels of protein.
36:43 oh don’t worry, that’s not even close to the only thing you pronounce wrong!
This looks like the much easier version of the "slacker" challenge i made for myself...
It has the same limitations on social stats, but i also had to use menus as little as possible, never fuse personas unless i'm forced to, and never advance social links, unless needed for the true ending...
In short, i had to do the absolute minimum amount of things i could, and use as little of the mechanics the game gave me! I also had to beat the game at as low a level i possibly could. Just think the opposite of a 100% run if you will...
I wonder if speerunners have tried this this would be called low%
It happens in alot of games where you get the absolute minimum items upgrades etc
This is essentially the Yoker playthrough I've been wanting to run. You only do things that count as physical activities and hang out with people who do physical activities. Going full gym bro. So work out in room, go to the gym, play baseball, run with Ryuji, hang with kasumi, grind in palaces and momentos, hang out with Caroline and Justine (strength arcana + they have you go to the Gym in one of their hangout sessions) and that's pretty much it. Just get swoll and go.
37:31 ;-;
for real, I always make sure to have at least 3 calming aromas when I go to a palace, mainly because a lot of times I decide to just run away rather than taking forever to stealth around. I am severely directionally challenged in video games and I hate having to look around while in stealth mode
Hello, my best friend made your UA-cam profile picture. I have already commented about this but i believe i said some rude things, id like to apologize and say that your content is great and i think you should keep it up. :)
The Ryuji run
3:30 if you get their health low just by doing smaller amounts of damage, there is a decent chance they will beg for their life and you can capture them. Found this out on a run of mine
I can’t tell you how fucking mad I am that I never knew they changed where I could obtain Moist Protein. I honestly didn’t know that sports store existed there.
It's Royal exclusive. In the Vanilla version, it was a records store, though the image used for the Sports Store was unsused in Vanilla.
Okay. I'm replaying vanilla and I realized it.
my Personal Experience When Ever I want to Dodge the Chalk I only need to Hold the Action Button
Regarding Proficiency
I forgot about the jazz club ;-;
(I’ve just started Shido’s palace)
So, shouldn't you already technically fail to unlock the third semester, as Akechis confidant path won't level up?
I'd still watch the rest of the run even if you just get the vanilla ending but I was wondering if this is something you considered.
Only Maruki's confidant is required to unlock the third semester. Maxing out Akechi and Kasumi just extends their storylines, but are not required to unlock the third semester.
@@NitsuaGamer huh? Cool. TIL
Wow didn't know that i though vanilla ending just triggered if u didn't get them can somebody explain what gets cut out pls
@@stovebot4280 Akechi and Sumire's Persona's second awakening.

20:07
Dude thats awsome.
Hey do you think Merciless difficulty in P5R is worth it? Is it too frustrating or is it manageable? I have seen people saying that normal difficulty is too easy in this game. Merciless also seems like a better pick than Hard since you gain more exp and the 3x Techincal creates high risk/high reward situations.
Merciless difficulty is a unique way to play the game, but not the best way if it's your first couple times. I recommend sticking with Normal on your first playthrough and New Game Plus playthrough, and only go harder once you have an understanding of the game's mechanics, technical attacks, and prior knowledge of where to get the most level ups and buffs, and what confidants to rank up for efficiency. And while Merciless does give you a double-edged sword with the 3x attacks, the harder the difficulty, the less EXP and money you'll gain. Unless you've played the entire game before, I recommend staying on Normal difficulty or otherwise grinding will be a necessity. Without any prior knowledge, Merciless can be very frustrating.
@@NitsuaGamer Yeah that's what I thought, I played P5 once and I'm gonna play P5R for the 1st time now on normal than. Your videos helped me out a lot in knowing which confidants to max out first, thanks for that.
@@TheMassgames Merciless is easier than hard. This game is very easy, if you can think only a little bit, you won't die a single time on hard.
@@NitsuaGamer Actually in Royal, merciless gives you more exp and money, not less.
I doubt youll ever need to grind in merciless now as a result, making it perfect for NG and NG+ runs if you want that challenge.
Tbh Its the only difficulty I play on these days.
Omg the gay or european joke for yusuke xD that almost slipped right past me
The fact that you think a a dead pirate is better then a literally Monkey God is concerning.
The dead pirate is literally his ultimate persona
Damn, I didn't know that Nakanohara's name was that long
Well made
0:37 to me I already know the answer but the journey is what I'm looking for, as well as the others here.
We want part 2!!!

"Recommend you buy protectors and ranged weapons over melee weapons" Oh, right...Royal.
Persona 5 tiktok gymrat edition
Merciless difficulty is a perfect super hard difficulty. It raises damage dealt by you and the demons by a lot.
So if you play perfectly and exploit weaknesses you can have a really easy time, but if you make one mistake it's all over.
3:00 I almost spit out my coffee
You can hit all weaknesses, leave one enemy left as close to 1hp, and guard. the enemy tends to beg for their life and that's how I got most personas in kamoshidas palace
Btw at 16:44 it’s pronounced Na-ka-no-hara
This is basically just if Mishima was the protagonist instead of Ren
36:40 yeah. You're right lmao. It's Chee-Hi-Uh Mee-Foo-Nay lol
Finally, an RPG where I can play as a loser like me!
Essentially “Can you beat Persona 5 Royal as the average Persona player”☠️
Wait what did you say? “Billy-ards”?
That's...how it's pronounced.
Well Bulli-yards depending on your accent
I did that on accident without a single max confidant my first playthrough lol (besides scripted ofc) even missed the third semester
at this point youve started doing can you beat persona 5 royal without confidants
I was looking around to see if anyone else had done a ridiculous P5R challenge run. I've been planning a "Required fights only" Run which also limits how far you can go with many of the confidants. While confidants for my run will be blocked because we can't fight the OPTIONAL mementos shadows, here it's because you're too cowardly, not hot enough or you're too stupid. And of course you're level grinding while I won't be able to do that, haha. Interesting to see by restricting yourself by not engaging with a certain aspect of the game just locks you out of the best confidant bonuses in most cases.
Hard is harder then merciless cause you do less damage since all weakness and technical damage is tripled in merciless which makes every fight a 1 turn fight pretty much.
incorrect for this run at least he mentions a ton of times where merciless made this hard mostly at the beginning where he cant collect personas because of it and also make the kamoshida boss a little harder and other mentions here and there but mecriless is easier for some fights like the infamous okumara one
@@brystol. The Kamoshida boss thing wasn’t even true he just didn’t realize Ann can’t get the crown…
@@raikaru0 I was talking about him one shooting all the personas he wanted the boss fight it’s self is not what I meant
@@raikaru0but it's true 🗿
20:10
So you've seen the video, have you?
theoretically yes but only if you’re very lucky since dreams have chance of increasing a social stat
also personally the tools and darts tutorials don’t count
edit: oh god i read the title wrong
“seriously dlc just for costumes? no”
but.. but raoul
about the fight againts the first onis at third palace, couldnt you just use shiki ouji and use rush??
wait, isn't Guts the one with 6 points for level 2? Or did they change that from vanilla? Pretty sure on a second new game run, I was trying to get guts up ASAP and it was 6 poitns?
One day, if I ever get a PS4, I'll do this on my first run😂
Yes, it’s called grinding
Did you know you don't have to save and reload to respawn enemies? Just quick travel to a different area and go back.
You can't fast travel from that one safe room, so that won't work.
persona 5 sigma run
Said Madarame was bad, try it on merciless on base P5
I've never laughed at a Pancake tho :\
Is there supposed to be an actual "challenge" to this run or is it just limiting yourself in a unique way? Genuinely not trying to be rude (if I'm coming off as such, I apologize), I'm just curious.
You dont get a lot of confidants so it's only really a limitation.
Pancake good
Can you do an introvert challenge no bonds no friends only main syory
“Pancakes are funny”
Nakahorana grind
billy ards
30:18 🤣🤣🤣
Pancakes sure are funny!
Don't worry about saying chihaya name wrong. You pronounced just about every name wrong. Haha this run should just be the protein run. I don't even think I've worked out in my run besides the time going to protein lovers with ryuji.
Billy yards
Merciless is a joke; it can easily be exploited, due to the triple critical/technical/weakness damage.
so real...
ah yes, a me% run
41:04 lol he said “Incests”
Bro even looking at yusuke makes 'Gay or European' play in my head
11:38 bruh💀
Part 2 when?
Currently in the works. Just got to get through the 6th palace.
fun fact: Merciless is actually proven go be the easiest difficulty because of the increased XP and crit rates
@@zayne7921 yup
@@burnt_ramen9757 so hard is harder than the one named merciless?
@@rawrdino7046 yeah and it's still easy
