Hierophant - Sojiro Sakura

(Ranking up will increase your Kindness stat)

Sojiro is an evening slot confidant which will allow you to make SP-recovery items that you can use when venturing in Palaces and Mementos. LeBlanc coffee recovers some SP to a person while LeBlanc curry recovers SP to everyone. Creating this items consume an entire evening slot so it is strongly suggested to use these features only when you have nurtured Kawakami’s (Temperance) confidant enough that she’ll do these tasks for you (for 5000 yen or even free if your confidant level with her is very high).

Ranking up the Hierophant confidant can be a bit daunting due to several restrictions listed below.

• You need to brew your own coffee to get Sojiro’s approval before moving to Rank 3, even if his Confidant card icon indicates a Rank Up. This will of course consume evening slots. Make sure to bring a Hierophant Persona as well to help. Asking Kawakami to do it for you will just give you the coffee but will not progress your affinity with Sojiro.
• To move to Rank 5, you need to complete Futaba’s Palace first (8/22)
• To get to Rank 7, you need to have Max Kindness
• To get to Rank 9, you must complete the Mementos quest “The Money-grubbing Uncle)

You need to brew your own coffee on two different evenings to get Sojiro’s approval before moving to Rank 3, even if his Confidant card icon indicates a Rank Up. This will of course consume evening slots. Make sure to bring a Hierophant Persona as well to help boost your affinity gain. Asking Kawakami to do it for you will just give you the coffee but will not progress your affinity with Sojiro.

Receive Mementos quest "The Money-grubbing Uncle"

Rank 9

Completion of Mementos quest "The Money-grubbing Uncle" required. This is a special type of Mementos quest which can be triggered by talking to Futaba when her confidant schedule is available (this won't progress her Confidant rank as well until you complete this request) Talking to her will take you directly to Mementos and you'll have to face her uncle's Shadow alone. The enemy heavily uses physical attacks so bring a persona that can nullify, repel, or at least resist such attacks. Having regenerative Skills and accessory equipped will help a lot in this battle. The boss has a high HP pool as well.
