Introduction

Welcome to the Persona 3 Reload Trophy Guide! Persona 3 Reload is a full PS4/PS5 Remake of Persona 3 which originally released on PS2. It borrows some new features from Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 FES such as Costumes, Missing Person quests, and Cutscenes, but does not bring over other aspects such as the Answer from Persona 3 FES or the Female Main Character from Persona 3 Portable. Persona 3 Reload also brings some brand new features, content, mechanics, and cutscenes. The game is a good place to start for people new to the series, and the new content will be enjoyable to returning fans as well.

Step 1: Follow the 100% Walkthrough, complete Elizabeth’s Requests along the way

Simply follow the Persona 3 Reload 100% Walkthrough to get all trophies in one playthrough.

By following the walkthrough you will max out all Social Links for  A Legacy of Friendships and other miscellaneous trophies. You should also make an effort to complete as many of Elizabeth’s Requests as you can while sticking to this schedule. You will need to complete at least 82 of Elizabeth’s Requests to unlock  Distinguished Visitor. If you need help with the Requests, you can also check Elizabeth’s Requests Guide.

This step will net you all of the trophies unrelated to Tartarus, but be sure to finish as many Tartarus requests as possible along the way, such as killing enemies, collecting chests, clearing Monad Doors.

Step 2: Tartarus cleanup on Day 1/21 onwards

If you followed the Walkthrough to this point, you will likely only need  Reaper Reaped and  Path to Salvation. You should get these done between 1/21 – 1/31.
1/31 is the final day of the game and the point of no return.

If you do have any Tartarus trophies left such as  Glimpse of the Depths or  Shattered Plumes, be sure to finish them up before you fight the Reaper. Once preparations are ready, go ahead and battle the Reaper. If you have enough cards from Shuffle Time to boost your experience after defeating it, you should now be a high enough level to fuse Messiah. If you still aren’t a high enough level, defeat the Reaper again to gain even more experience, and then go ahead and fuse Messiah to unlock   Path to Salvation.

Step 3: Defeat the Final Boss and watch the Ending

After everything else is done, all that’s left is to climb the last few floors of Tartarus, and defeat the Final Boss. After defeating the Final Boss, you can enjoy spending time with your Social Links one last time, then head home to watch the ending, and earn the Platinum Trophy.

As long as you follow the walkthrough, you will earn this on 1/26. Remember to always bring the matching Arcana to Social Link events so you can obtain the maximum amount of social points needed for the next rank. The schedule on Persona 3 Reload gives you a few more days to work with compared to Persona 3 Portable. However, there are added events in this game to called Linked Episodes, these are not required for any trophies, but they are required if you want to complete the Compendium.
	People Person Unlocked all Social Links.
You will earn this on the way to  A Legacy of Friendships. You will need to rank up every Social Link in the game to rank 1, if you follow our Persona 3 Reload 100% Walkthrough, you will earn this when you hang out with Aigis for the first time on 1/8.

	The Power of Choice Obtained 10 Personas during Shuffle Time.
Persona Cards can randomly show up in Shuffle Time. Shuffle Time occurs randomly after winning a battle in Tartarus. Finishing with a Theurgy Skill or an All Out Attack will give you a much higher chance of getting a shuffle time. Be aware, selecting a Persona that you are already holding will not count towards this total.
	There’s No “I” in “Team” Performed a Shift.
A “Shift” is a new feature to Persona 3 Reload, it is very similar to the “Baton Pass” found in Persona 5. Once you hit the enemies weakness, you can follow up and pass the turn to another team member. There will be a tutorial introducing this mechanic for the first time and you can easily earn this trophy during it.
	The Strength of Our Hearts Used all teammates’ Theurgy.
Theurgy Skills will be introduced on 6/13, They are essentially an Ultimate Attack for each party member. Each party member will start out with one skill at first, but will later learn a second skill once they awaken their Persona, the exception to this is Koromaru, who starts out with two, since he never awakens his Persona. The Main character can learn up to 7 Theurgy skills, depending on which Personas are registered to the Compendium, check out the Persona Compendium Guide for more information on this. For this trophy, you will only need to activate one skill per Party Member, you will not need to use all of the Theurgy skills the game has to offer. Be sure to use the Theurgy Skill for Shinjiro before 10/4 as you will not be able to use it afterwards.
	Extracurricular Excellence Rescued a missing person.
Missing Person Quests are optional. However, you’ll need to save at least one to earn this trophy. You can get this trophy on 6/29. Fuuka will warn you in Tartarus when there is a missing person on the floor, search the floor for them and take them back to the entrance to earn this trophy.
	Get a Load of Those Numbers! Dealt over 999 damage in a single attack (All-Out Attacks excluded).
You will likely get this trophy without trying once you earn Theurgy skills, since they can do some serious damage. If you are having trouble with this, you can try debuffing the enemy with Rakunda, and buffing yourself with Tarukaja, then use a Theurgy skill and you should do enough damage to earn this trophy.
	Shrouded Assassin Initiated 50 Chance Encounters.
Chance encounters happen when you get an advantage in battle, by striking an enemy on the field from behind. You can further increase your ability to start chance encounters by booting Computer Software at the dorm, though this is unnecessary and you’ll probably earn this trophy naturally while battling in Tartarus.
	The Thrill of the Hunt Defeated a rare, golden enemy.
Gold enemies are a rare type of enemy on the field that look like Gold Hands, Fuuka will let you know when there is one on the floor, they are faster than the average shadow, but you shouldn’t have much trouble catching up to them. If you have trouble defeating them in battle before they run away, you can use a Theurgy Skill to take them out instantly. You can also get a Fortune Reading at Club Escapade to further increase the spawn rate of these rare shadows.
	Making the Dream Work Performed 50 All-Out Attacks.
An All-Out Attack can be activated when all enemies in battle have been knocked down by either hitting their weakness, or landing a critical hit on them. You can also knock all enemies down with the Theurgy Skill “Jack Bros” which is unlocked by having both Jack Frost and Jack-o’-Lantern registered in the Compendium. Once all enemies are down, a Party Member will ask if you’d like to perform an All-Out Attack, say yes to perform one, do 50 of these and you’ll unlock this trophy. This is another battle trophy that will probably unlock without focusing too much on it.
	Glimpse of the Depths Discovered and conquered 10 Monad doors.
You will notice Monad doors appearing randomly on floors in Tartarus after August, Fuuka will let you know if there’s a Monad door on your current floor. These doors contain a powerful boss, which when defeated, will allow you to take the treasure at the back of the room. Monad Doors can also appear in a fixed position on specific teleporter floors of Tartarus. Enter a Monad Door, beat the boss, and take the treasure 10 times to earn this trophy.
	Briefcase Burglar Opened 50 treasure chests.
Treasure chests appear all over Tartarus and are displayed on the minimap when you have discovered one. You will earn this trophy in no time at all since Treasure Chests are very common, and are even in fixed positions on boss floors.
	Shattered Plumes Used a total of 50 Twilight Fragments.
Twilight fragments can be found in a few different ways, a good start is collecting all of the Twilight Fragments in Town. See Twilight Fragment Locations Guide. You can find Twilight Fragments from enemy encounters sometimes, but the most reliable way to grind them is to destroy the blue objects in Tartarus, which appear from time to time. You can spend Twilight Fragments on locked Treasure Chests, or healing at the clock at the entrance to Tartarus.
	The Horror of the Shade Encountered a Dark Zone in Tartarus.
You will be introduced to Dark Zones during the Tziah Block of Tartarus, however, this tutorial to Dark Zones will not unlock the trophy. You’ll need to find a Dark Zone randomly on a floor by chance after the tutorial.
	Reaper Reaped Defeated the Reaper.
The Reaper is a very powerful boss that appears in Tartarus. It will show up if you stay on the same floor for around 5 minutes. It’s suggested to be at least level 80+ before you attempt this fight. You can attempt this fight earlier if you are on the easiest difficulty, since you have unlimited revives. If this fight is taking too long or giving you trouble, you can use the Theurgy Skill “Armageddon” which will instantly defeat the reaper with a single use of it. Armageddon will require the Personas Helel and Satan to be registered to the compendium. Check out the Persona Compendium Guide on how to fuse Helel and Satan.
	The First of Many Performed a Dyad Fusion.
A Dyad Fusion can be performed at the Velvet room, it’s the most simple fusion type, and all you’ll need to do is fuse any two Personas together.
	Fusion Artisan Performed a fusion with three or more Personas.
To fuse three or more Personas, you’ll need to perform a Special Fusion. More Special Fusions can be unlocked when you finish Requests, Linked Episodes, and Social Links. Check out the Persona Compendium Guide for information on how to fuse every Persona.
	Birthday Present Obtained an item from a Persona Conception.
Some Personas will have a ‘Big Heart’ icon on them when you view their stats, this means that when you continue to level them up, they will eventually drop an item, which will earn you this trophy. An easy and early way to get this is to fuse a Jack Frost with Silky + Apsaras, then level up the Jack Frost until he gives you an item.
	Path to Salvation Fused Messiah.
Messiah is a level 90 Persona who is unlocked by maxing the Judgement Social Link in January. You’ll need to level up a lot in order to fuse Messiah, the fusion recipe for him is easy and only requires you to fuse Thanatos with Orpheus. If you need help fusing Thanatos, check out the Persona Compendium Guide.
	Tempting Fate Triggered a skill change during fusion.
A Skill Change is a random occurrence in fusion, which will ask if you want to change the skills of a Persona you fused. Agree to the skill change to earn this trophy. While you may have bad luck with this, it should end up happening eventually, it is nowhere near as uncommon as a fusion accident in previous Persona games.
	Eat Your Veggies, Peas! Harvested a crop that you grew with a teammate.
The earliest chance to start growing a crop with a teammate is with Fuuka on 6/16. Once you grow something with a teammate, you must wait until it’s ready to be harvested. When you harvest a crop that a teammate helped you with, you will earn this trophy.
	The Grindset Mindset Earned over 50,000 yen total from part-time jobs.
There are three Part-Time jobs to work at in Persona 3 Reload, these include: The Cafe at Paulownia Mall The Cinema at Port Island Station Be Blue V at Paulownia Mall. 50,000 yen requires a lot of days to earn, you will get it when following the Persona 3 Reload 100% Walkthrough.
