Introduction to Persona 3 Reload Trophy Hunting
Persona 3 Reload, a stunning remake of the PS2 classic, invites both new players and returning fans into its captivating world. While staying true to the original, Reload incorporates elements from Persona 3 Portable and FES, alongside brand new content and features. This persona 3 reload trophy guide is designed to be your best companion in efficiently securing every trophy and enjoying this definitive Persona 3 experience to its fullest.
Step-by-Step Roadmap to Platinum
This roadmap is structured to maximize efficiency and enjoyment, ensuring you achieve platinum in a single playthrough.
Step 1: Utilize the 100% Walkthrough and Complete Elizabeth’s Requests
For an optimal trophy run, we strongly recommend following the Persona 3 Reload 100% Walkthrough. This walkthrough is meticulously crafted to guide you through the game day-by-day, ensuring you don’t miss crucial events or opportunities.
Simultaneously, focus on tackling Elizabeth’s Requests. These requests are not only essential for unlocking Distinguished Visitor by completing at least 82 of them, but also provide valuable rewards and enhance your overall gameplay experience. Refer to our detailed Elizabeth’s Requests Guide for assistance.
By diligently following the walkthrough and managing Elizabeth’s requests, you will naturally unlock most non-Tartarus related trophies during this phase. Pay attention to Tartarus-related requests along the way, such as defeating specific enemies, opening chests, and clearing Monad Doors to streamline your progress.
Step 2: Tartarus Trophy Cleanup (January 21st Onwards)
After following the walkthrough up to January 21st, you’ll likely be focusing on the final Tartarus push. At this stage, you should primarily be aiming for Reaper Reaped and Path to Salvation if you haven’t already obtained them. Utilize the period between January 21st and January 31st (the game’s final day) to accomplish these. Be aware that January 31st marks the point of no return for the game’s ending.
If any Tartarus-related trophies remain outstanding, such as Path to Salvation.
Step 3: Confront the Final Boss and Secure Platinum
With all other trophies in hand, your final objective is to ascend the last sections of Tartarus and defeat the Final Boss. After the climactic battle, enjoy your remaining in-game time strengthening bonds with Social Links before heading home on the final day to witness the ending and claim your well-earned Platinum Trophy, A Most Remarkable Guest.
Useful Tips and Tricks for Trophy Hunters
- Always Carry Personas of Matching Arcana: When spending time with Social Links, ensure you have a Persona of the corresponding Arcana in your active roster. This maximizes social point gains and speeds up Social Link progression, crucial for A Legacy of Friendships.
- Prioritize Social Stats: Balancing social stat increases (Courage, Academics, Charm) with Social Links is essential. The 100% Walkthrough provides a balanced schedule to manage both effectively.
- Utilize Shuffle Time Wisely: Shuffle Time is your friend! Aim for All-Out Attacks and Theurgy Skills to increase Shuffle Time occurrence and grab valuable Persona cards and Major Arcana for trophies like The Fool’s Journey and The Power of Choice.
- Explore Tartarus Thoroughly: Don’t rush through Tartarus floors. Explore each floor for treasure chests, Twilight Fragments, and Monad Doors. Fuuka’s guidance will alert you to rare enemies and Monad Doors.
- Save Twilight Fragments: Collect Twilight Fragments diligently. They are used for opening locked chests and healing at the entrance clock in Tartarus, contributing to Shattered Plumes.
- Don’t Fear the Reaper (Too Much): While powerful, the Reaper is manageable with proper preparation and strategy. For a quick kill, consider using the Theurgy Skill “Armageddon” once you have access to Helel and Satan Personas.
- Engage in Dorm Activities: Participate in dorm activities at night to unlock teammate Combat Characteristics for Through Thick and Thin.
