- Similarly you can clear palaces however you wish as long as you adhere to the schedule
- When infiltrating Mementos you must finish all listed requests to proceed with confidant schedule
- Helpful suggestions are listed under Palace Tips section
Mementos Requests
- Requests are unlocked by ranking up confidants and reading messages from Mishima
- Your phone holds only the last 50 messages, making some permanently missable if not read
- Always read all your messages, fast-forward through them if you wish
- Some requests lack a target and must be investigated in the overworld to ID them
Confidant Rank Up Points
- You normally acquire enough points to unlock a confidant's next rank up event by giving positive responses to their prompts during conversations
- When you give a correct response you get 1 to 3 confidant points that are represented as blue musical notes that fly offscreen
- The sparkles that accompany the notes also show if you have enough points to rank up
- If the sparkles remain over the confidant's head you do not have enough points
- If the sparkles fly offscreen with the notes the next hangout will be a rank up event
- This guide notes the optimal answers along with their position, tentative translation, and expected confidant points
Omitted Confidant Answers
- All prompts where no response gives confidant points
- Ranks 1 and 10 which are always followed by a rank up event
- Fool, Magician, and Judgement which rank up automatically
- Moon which solely ranks up based on completing Mementos requests
- Sun which ranks up every meeting regardless of answers
Ranking Up Strength
- Strength which solely ranks up based on completing fusion requests
- You can complete their requests at your own pace so long you finish before the 12/24 deadline
- See the Strength Confidant section for suggested fusion pathways
Carrying Matching Arcana
- Carrying a persona of the same arcana while talking to a confidant gives an extra confidant point +1 for every response that normally gives confidant points
- The persona only has to be in your stock and not necessarily equipped
- This guide expects you to always carry the matching arcana for confidant events after 4/20
- Included events include all confidant rank ups as well some unique cases
- Non-rank up hangout events
- Relationship Fortunes by Chihaya
- Hierophant when making coffee or cleaning Leblanc
- Lovers when answering class questions on 4/25, 6/20, and 7/7
- You never need matching arcana for Fool, Magician, Strength, Moon, Sun, and Judgement confidants
Romancing a Confidant
- This guide is structured so you can choose to romance any on the 10 potential confidants upon reaching Rank 9
- Death Rank 10 is moved from daytime to evening if you romance so there are 2 spots where it can occur
