The very next day after going to Tartarus, you can go to the school nurse to get a completely free boost to your courage without progressing time at all.
WHAT.
@@Crocogatoryea. It's true.
Atlus said they knew and heard feedback about how courage was by FAR the hardest stat to increase in the base game, so they included a few ways to make it easier.
@@spiderdude2099you can’t really farm getting courage points in reload though. Anytime you were sick or tired you could go to the nurse. Now you can only visit him after a Tartarus run
@@superblanco444 being able to get courage points every time after a Tartarus run without it progressing time will let you get more courage points in the long run. Also, you can just do wild duck burger and the zombie shooter arcade game. Those are still some of the best ways to raise that stat
Big tip I desperately wish I knew, that nobody talks about: The notes you see when you gain social stat points are not an exact indicator. For example, when you eat at Wakatsu, you can pick between two different meals that each give two notes towards Academics, but the more expensive one is actually contributing more than the less expensive one.
I was reading a thread with people defending the obtuse feedback with "It's nebulous just like real life."
I'm playing a game to escape real life for a couple hours. I don't need to be second guessing the choices I made over the past 8 hours because I'm not given proper feedback.
@@pandabosch eg-fucking-xactly. I was three months into the game's story before learning that I've been fucking up the whole time.
Yea makes a big difference especially since academics takes a lot of points to level up compared to charm and courage
This is a huge one. I'm a persona vet and I didn't even know this until I looked it up because it seemed weird. If I was new I never would have even thought to look it up
Honestly really weird game design choice from atlus but it is what it is
Early game Sp drinks from the vending machines saved me. Was able to complete entire blocks in 1 night.
the ones that give 10 SP?
@@fry2338 yes they restock every week so they add up. On top of the Sp items ya find in Tartarus. Really ya only need to go to Tartarus 1-3 times a month.
They replenish every week, I buy them out every Sunday
Also the night club guy can give you a computer link or something to get drinks from the station. This way you get multiple great drinks for HP and SP that are usually “sold out”
Also completes Elizabeth’s request!
They are extremely useful because of SP draining boss fights!
My MC is a broke boy 24/7. He spent all his yen on the arcade and fusion. 💀
Here's an early-ish game trick I used you might like for your longer Tartarus runs. Prioritize making a Persona with Pulpina (the confusion skill) and Spirit Drain. Spirit Drain costs 5 to use, but restores 20 out of the enemy's SP pool. Pulpina will make your enemy unable to fight when confused and will give you items. For those difficult fights early game, you will waste alot of SP fighting normally. Use the confusion ailment to make the battle not cost your party members their SP, and give yourself the ability to restore yours. That way, you can use media to heal your party's damage. I'll likely keep one persona like this for all my Tartarus exploration. Of course, this works best when there is only 1 enemy to focus on. Oh by the way, the SP pool matters. When an enemy runs out, they may waste a turn trying to use an SP move, which will give you time to re-confuse them. Also ailments will make other ailment moves miss, so try not to enrage, poison, etc. an enemy.
Im trying to play this persona without any guides to not ruin my experience like I did with p5, can you tell me how I make a person with those two skills?
@@danielbarreto9263 The confusion spell that I wrote wrong, Pulinpa, can be gotten easily. Pixie is an early game persona that has this ability that you can fuse away.
Sprit drain however is more difficult. You won't get the ability to make or obtain a persona with it until later. So, your best bet (and what I did.) is to get an Arcana Burst while in Tartarus. You are looking for Weapon cards of level 3. Check these, even if you're not going for new skills when grinding. Spirit drain can be had this way, and can be put on to your persona with Pulinpa.
Good luck in your ascent of Tartarus!
@@Stargun-vj1uh hope my questions don't bother you because I have more😅. Ok so I did my first trip to Tartarus (that short tutorial) and after reading your reply I want to ask how do you exactly grind I'm Tartarus? I know there are eventual road blocks so you can't go on forever, is the grind just doing the whole run until the roadblock multiple nights? Another question, is the weapon card level3 you mentioned the ones you can choose to get after the all out attack? Thanks for the time!
@@danielbarreto9263I don't mind any! To grind in Tartarus, you will go up floors, fight what's there, and then eventually when you run out of floors or go to a high enough floor you don't feel comfortable grinding there, go back down to the lower floors and continue again. Shadows will respawn even if chests don't.
On the Weapon cards (I call them that, they have a sword icon, and have skill cards), yeah those are the ones you obtain during Shuffle time. That can trigger guaranteed by ending a battle with an all out attack, or at random otherwise. To increase the rank of all cards in Shuffle Time, collect all the Major Arcana cards available in one Tartarus run. It will trigger the Arcana Burst, raising all card levels up by 1 over what it originally was. You can get Level 2 cards while still in the first block of Tartarus, which will upgrade to 3.
@@danielbarreto9263 Huh, I guess I forgot to reply? You may not need my information anymore, but you grind Tartarus by going up the floors, then using teleporters to go back down to lower floors. The weapon level 3 card is the ones you choose after all out attacks that look like swords
A big one ppl are forgetting is y’all can get a move called ambush by getting enough courage to go into the club talk to the dude in the left back corner and watch tapes on the pc and you can get the song it’s going down every time game breaking
Wtf r u saying
are you on crack
Skill cards are quite big now. Once per day you can pray a the Inari statue at the shrine to Duplikate a skill card of you choice. (broken improvement from the og game)
Depends on skill card though, agi isn't gonna be worth duplicating. Invigorate or Regenerate though? Oh yes.
What skill cards can do
@@etheriousnatsudragneel83 all can do. Which cards are worth copiing depends on your preference and playstyle though. Invigorate and growth are always big contenders for example. Personaly i also like to have some utility cards for buffing and debuffing in Stock as well as amp cards.
@@Stargun-vj1uhGrowth 2 and 3 is almost mandatory to stock up
I am surprised to find out that in this remake ailments are really strong, even bosses can be affected.
Wait bosses can be affected with it now?!? I just wrote a comment all about my early game strategy in Tartarus about using confusion on strong enemies (or any in general) then spirit draining their SP away to recover yours. I didn't know it works elsewhere! Clearly I did something right making a persona with the ability to increase ailment chance, poison or confuse a target, and suck them dry with spirit drain.
@@Stargun-vj1uhI've tried confuse on bosses and it hadn't worked for me.
At least for the weak ailments.
I call ailments that do not cause enemies to skip turns or lose control "weak" ailments (eg. Distress, because it just increases critical vulnerability)---this was very helpful for me on the Floor 42 (?) boss.
Bosses are almost always immune to strong ailments that can skip turns such as charm, confuse, rage, or fear
Seriously, fuse off all those low level personas and then fuse again. I cant stress how important trying to fuse as many personas as possible is. If you need a specific persona later, you can just get them out of the compendium
I just don't want to go though the task of leveling them up again
@@danielellis6327 If you just register them before fusing them, then they will be whatever level you got them up to when you summon them from the compendium
@@danielellis6327 you dont need to level them up fr especially since you can transfer their skills over or use skill cards
Persona is so nice for the compendium to not cost an arm and a leg. Just got finished playing desu 1 and 2 and buying back demons are literally 5x more expensive
Good tips., Thanks will need give this game a try on weekend.
Great guide my man
Keep up the Persona content, its good stuff, while we wait for the next Mass Effect
Have a persona the has invigorate 1, 2 or 3 and get it to learn spirit drain. Low on SP just charm or confuse an enemy and just drain the SP out of it. Mitsuru naturally learns spirit drain as well so you can have two characters that never run out of sp
Haha when he said “confidant”( 3:54 ) I could tell he just finished his persona 5 playthrough
How so? (I’m a persona noob lmao)
@@maddiesmenagerie8853 in persona 5 the social links were called confidants in Persona 3 and 4 they are called social links
@@maddiesmenagerie8853 Persona 5 calls them confidants but persona 3 and 4 call them social links
@@maddiesmenagerie8853in persona3 they’re called social links and in persona5 they’re called confidants
@@maddiesmenagerie8853 Because Social Links from Persona 3 & 4 are called Confidants in Persona 5.
NUMBER 1, DO NOT WORK AT CHAGALL CAFE.
You can earn money easily in Tartarus.
To raise social stats you would only eat at Wakatsu/Ramen/and Burger Joint
Feels weird watching you cover JRPGs my favorite genre ever lol
Putting Mitsuru on the thumbnail is working so well
Loving these jrpg videos lately. I'll be playing this before FF7 releases
I've put 80 hours into P4 and didn't finish it. I've put 100 hours TWICE into P5 and stopped playing around the same time in both playthroughs. I liked these games, but I always tend to fizzle out for one reason or another. Be real with me Persona fans, am I capable of finishing this one?
I can't help you with this with the information given. can you describe the feeling you are getting?
I saw a dude saying the game is about 60ish hrs seems more doable than P5 lol
I mean compared to the other two games, P3 is a lot more straightforward in its story-telling and mechanics so it's easier to follow along but I think it all depends on your experience.
What makes you stop at those points? Is it the dungeons? The characters? Stats?
Why would we know that?
to be honest same with you, never finish P5 with 2 times playing. but finish P3 and P4 several times. i guess it depends on you, for me the story of 5 become the one making me never finish it 😢
Good vid keep crushing
How do you get sp recovery accessories?
Any plans to check out Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne?
Dizzy and down, even if a boss seems to block out ailments. If you can down it with a crit or a weakness and follow up with another attack, you can inflict dizzy. Kinda RNG, though, you also might need to cancel all out attack.
Full moon bosses though im not too sure.
Does someone know where you can find the drain abillity skill card? Is it also a 3 sword card like spirit drain?
Does anyone have a video on what Exactly the luck stat does and does it increase crit rate on reload if this video doesn't have it?
Time to Button Mash
I wonder, if they ever add the femc as DLC, will we be able to start a new game plus using a male protagonist save file. Having to level up social stats again would be a pain in the ass
Pro tip: before opening the gate/barrier to the next section...
Get fortune teller common gold enemy appearance at night club. Start at 15-20 floors below gate. Keep skipping floors until you see gold enemy icon on map. Battle it then skip floor, repeat until you reach the gate. Go back to floor 1, and repeat to get easy money and exp
Are you going to do a review?
NUMBER 2 dont worry about SP items.
It's Going Down Now!
6:42 I don’t think that means what he think it does
Now I would like you to play Persona 3 Portable 😊
7:41 this would be a terrible tip to give for the older Persona 3 games lmao
Persona games are probably the deepest RPGS ever,you can basically do everything
Wait why not do tartarus dungeon but always select money bonus from cards, I got around to floor 10 first time in tartarus and was able to uprgade everyone's armor and weapons. Just not shoes.
fuck man i been following a 100% social link guide and neglected fusing, i just started the 2nd block
1st time playing since its free on gamepasss
Don't stress. I didn't fuse much early on, and I picked up a bunch of stronger persona in Tartarus. After school one day go to the velvet room and play around with it. Fuse a few, and you will be all good.
It doesn’t make any difference, but just FYI, “SP” doesn’t stand for “stamina points” it stands for “skill points”
Additional Important : after venturing or grinding in Dungeon, DO NOT FORGET to register your Persona in Velvet Room.
If you don't registered them, they will stay in stat and skill that your first fusion them or get them first time after you resummon them.
What about ULTIMA WEAPONS? Please do a video about them? Thank you!
delve into persona 4 golden please you have 3 and 5
Teddie is creepy. Lol😂
I feel like tartarus sucks out a lot of the enjoyment of the game. It just doesnt seem fun
If you are getting bored or stuck, try skipping some of the shadow fights. If there are three shadows on the floor, fight one or two.
@@dgrblue4162 I'm playing hard and I feel like if I did that, I'd fall behind slowly. I'm not getting stuck, it's just bland.
idk, to me tartarus and the combat is hella fun compared to just the normal days
ft. Pokimane?
Working at the Cafe is a waste of time, don’t do it. Even early game, if you go to Tartersauce then you’ll get good money
its a good jack-of-all trades option early game
if you go to tartarus, you may get more money but dont level up courage and charm a little
