Persona 3 Portable: Tower Social Link Guide

Quick Links

  • How To Begin The Tower Social Link
  • How To Rank Up Mutatsu’s Social Link

Though the requisite social stat might mean it takes you until a little ways into Persona 3 Portable before you meet him, Mutatsu is the monk you’ll pretty constantly find drinking and smoking the nights away at Club Escapade. You’ve got to be brave enough to introduce yourself first, but once you do, your social link with Mutatsu is philosophical, bittersweet, and touching.

If you’ve been trying to rank up your social link with Mutatsu in P3P, you’ve come to the right guide! Below, you’ll find all the dialogue choices you’ll need to make to max out Mutatsu’s social link.

This guide contains slight spoilers for subplots throughout Persona 3 Portable.

How To Begin The Tower Social Link

Before you can formally begin Mutatsu’s social link in Persona 3 Portable, you’ll first need to reach a certain rank in one of two other social links.

The male protagonist will learn about Mutatsu hanging out at Club Escapade from Yuko, during the Rank 4 scene for the Strength social link.

On the other hand, the female protagonist hears about him from Rio instead, but the whisper of the monk who loiters at the Club comes during the Rank 3 scene of the Chariot social link.

Before you can begin speaking to Mutatsu, though, you need to reach Rank 4 Courage. Not just anyone can stroll into the private room at a club to strike up a chat with a monk, so consider the social stat lock when arranging your in-game schedule.

Once these two conditions have been met, there’s one more task before you can sit down with Mutatsu. You’ll need to take drink orders for the bartender at Club Escapade. Your reward for the assist is the alcohol Mutatsu has been asking for.

Regardless of the order in which you speak to the club-goers, when you report back after, the bartender will ask you their requests in a specific order. You’ll need to get each drink correctly to get Mutatsu’s beverage.

The order of the drinks the bartender is asking for is:

  1. Bloody Mary
  2. Margarita
  3. Screwdriver
  4. Oolong Tea

After this, the bartender will prepare Mutatsu’s drink, and your social link will begin immediately after the scene that follows.
