Welcome to TheGamer’s Persona 5 Royal walkthrough. Here, we’re gonna be guiding you through all ten playable months of the game, making sure you’ll make it to the true ending with all confidant ranks and social stats maxed out— not to mention popping that shiny platinum on your first run of the game.
Going month by month, each guide will include:
- Month overview
- Notes on restricted/limited time events
- Daily activity guide
- Mementos and Palace notes
- Recommendations/tips for combat optimization.
A few things to note going for this walkthrough:
- This walkthrough is a modified version of this guide, optimized for further efficiency and combat effectiveness.
- All confidant rank ups are dependent on you bringing a persona of a matching arcana when spending time with them. With the exception of Rank 1 and Rank 10, if you forget to do this even once it’ll set your schedule back— sometimes catastrophically, depending on the confidant. Make sure you’re keeping track of your personae. Reminders will be included when your only opportunity to prep a persona for an event is the night before.
- However, the Sun and Moon confidants do not require matching personae.
- This walkthrough is based on normal difficulty— you might find yourself having a hard time keeping up on higher difficulty modes.
- As it’s not possible to 100% the Thieves Den achievements on your first run, we’ll be guiding you through popping as many of them as possible, but it will not be a main focus like the PS4 trophies.
- This guide will be running on the assumption that you’re choosing a platonic route with all the romanceable characters to accommodate for everyone— if you find yourself progressing faster with your romanced confidant than the guide plans for, use the extra day as a free slot.
- HOWEVER, we recommend romancing at least one teammate to acquire the PS4 trophy, even if you decide to reload and proceed with the platonic route.
- Story-locked confidant ranks will not be included in the monthly exit stats.
All set? Let’s get started.
