 If you have any questions, comments, or you have something you want added to
 this guide then feel free to email me at �[email protected]� (without the
 quotation marks, of course...) Some things to note before you email me:

-Make sure you put �P3 FES� somewhere in the subject line. If you don�t I
 will likely think that the email is junk and delete it.

-Please read the guide before emailing me, it is quite annoying having to
 answer a question that I have already answered in this guide. (...of course
 if you�re not reading the guide then what are the chances that are going to
 read this warning?)

-I am notoriously bad at checking email. (...and even worse at answering it)
 So if you are trying to contact me then you will just have to be patient.

-Do not, not, not, not, NOT send me ANY attachments with your email. I don�t
 care what the attachment is, I won�t look at it and I will likely delete the
 email immediately. (Also I will NEVER send any attachments with my emails, so
 if you receive something from my email address and it has an attachment on
 it, delete it, immediately.)

-Please use proper spelling and grammar in your email, it�s just common
 courtesy. I don�t care if it�s perfect, as long as you make the effort.
 Emails with �si teh awsome� in it, however, will likely be ignored.

-A pet peeve of mine is when people replace �you� with �u.� It�s only two
 extra key strokes people, jeez.

 Persona 3 (or P3) is the forth (yes, forth) installment in the long-running
 Persona series, which in itself is a part of the even longer running Megami
 Tensei (or MegaTen) series.

 The Persona series has had a bit of a checkered history when it comes to
 North American releases. The first Persona was notoriously butchered, (The
 script was altered to make it seem like the story takes place in America as
 opposed to Japan, The character art was changed to a more western style, and
 so on) the second installment was actually released as two separate games, of
 which we only got one. (the second one) Thankfully Persona 3 is well
 represented on its journey to this side of the Pacific, (Aegis/Aigis gaffe
 notwithstanding) with a well written script and high quality voice work. (for
 the most part *glares at Fuuka*) We even got FES, (eventually) an expansion
 pack/directors cut of P3.

 Since there are certain aspects of the game that happens in FES that doesn�t
 happen in the original game (and to a lesser extent, some aspects in the
 original game that doesn�t happen in FES) This guide uses tags to
 differentiate between the two versions. Basically, if I put <P3> in somewhere
 I�m talking about the original release of Persona 3 and <FES> means the later
 FES release.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Hints and Tips [003]|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������

-Save often. Death can come unexpectedly in Tartarus, so make sure you save
 every time you go there.

-Remember to Analyze every enemy you come across. As with previous MegaTen
 games, knowing how to attack your enemies is vital to your success in
 Persona 3. This includes Bosses, as although you might not learn anything
 from it, it will affect how your party members react. (They won�t use attacks
 that the boss is immune to, and they�ll exploit the boss� weaknesses as well.)

-Wait for sale days when buying anything. Saving money is nice, isn�t it?

-Never take tired or sick party members into Tartarus, and if you are tired or
 sick yourself then postpone any plans to assault Tartarus and instead get a
 good night�s sleep.

-For the most part you should only use your Personae to attack and not your
 weapons. You should concentrate on improving your Personae and armor before
 improving your weapons. That�s not to say that you should completely ignore
 your weapons, as the amount of damage done during an All-Out Attack is
 dependant on your weapons.

-You don�t always have to do an All-Out Attack when you knock all the enemies
 down. In fact, if you don�t think that you can kill the enemy with a single
 All-Out Attack it�s better in the long run to simply relent and spend the
 extra turn healing or buffing up. An enemy that has been knocked down will
 waste their next turn by getting up, while an enemy that survives an All-Out
 Attack will be up and free to use their next turn to make your life a living
 hell.

-If you fuse a Persona with a Heart Item make sure that you register it in the
 Persona Compendium. Registering the Persona will also save the Heart Item, so
 you will to quickly resummon that Persona again and get multiple copies of
 that item. (especially if you register it just before it gains that final
 level needed before it gives you its Heart Item)

-Don�t just head back to the Dorm after school, do something! Improve your
 Social Links, eat at a restaurant, see a movie, anything! By the same token
 during the evenings when you�re not going to Tartarus you should spend your
 time drinking coffee, singing karaoke, Or Visiting Game Panic (in <FES>) and
 then studying in your room.

-Remember that it takes a LOT longer to raise your Academics stat than the
 Charm and Courage stats. Make sure to donate 1,000 Yen at the Naganaki Shrine
 Everyday (in <P3> at least) and study every night you don�t go to Tartarus.
 (If you are Tired/Sick however, you shouldn�t study but go to bed early
 instead)

-The size of the shadows doesn�t indicate the enemy�s strength, but rather
 their numbers. A tiny shadow will result in a battle against a single enemy,
 while a large shadow can have up to five enemies.

-Note that the amount of experience shown at the end of a battle is only what
 the Protagonist earns, not what your allies/Personae earn.

-Contrary to previous MegaTen games, you actually CAN inflict status ailments
 on bosses. If you are having problems with a certain boss you can try to
 Panic, Charm, or Distress it to make things more manageable.

-The Armageddon combination (Lucifer/Helel + Satan) is incredibly powerful and
 will kill any enemy in the game. (save one) This, and the fact that Lucifer
 learns Victory Cry (in <P3> at least, Helel doesn�t learn Victory Cry so you
 will have to get it on him through fusion) will make this game very, very
 easy.

 Due to the way this game is set up a traditional walkthrough is not the most
 effective way to cover this game. Instead the guide for The Journey (aka the
 main game of <P3>) will be split into two parts, one a calendar listing the
 important dates as you progress through the school year and the other a boss
 guide listing the floor bosses of Tartarus. Note that I will NOT be telling
 you how to spend your afternoons or when to go to Tartarus in this guide.
 Although it is possible to max out all of the Social Links in a single play
 through, I personally find it rather restrictive (at least in <P3>, in <FES>
 the restrictions on ranking up S.Links are somewhat relaxed) and will not
 cover it in this guide. If you are interested in how to do this you can check
 out penguin_knight�s Max Social Links FAQs for more information.

SPOILER NOTE: Although this walkthrough is more or less spoiler-free, it is 
              NOT totally free of spoilers. So if you are trying to avoid
              spoilers, don�t read ahead of the spot you need help in.
              You have been warned.

                                 =============
================================|April [004.1]|================================
                                 =============

 -4/7: Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life! Start by naming your
       Protagonist. (Remember, it�s Last Name first, you don�t want to spend
       the rest of your life being called Smith John now, do you?) After your
       introduction to Gekkoukan High you end up back at the dorm. There isn�t
       anything going on here so just go to your room and sleep.

 -4/8: You�ve got your first quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �Fuyuhiko
       Yoshimura,� while the answer in <FES> is �Utsubo Kubota.� Answer
       correctly for a boost in Charm. When you return to the dorm you�ll
       meet Ikutsuki, ask him questions if you want or say �No, I�m good�
       to end the conversation, then go up to your room to sleep. 

 -4/9: There�s a lecture today in both versions, you can either stay awake to
       get a boost in academics or take a nap for a chance to improve your
       status. Personally I would recommend to never sleep through a lecture,
       as you are going to need all the Academics you can get.

       After school you skip straight to the Dark Hour. When you get control
       head for the roof. When you get there you will have the first battle of
       the game against two Cowardly Maya. Use Orpheus� Bash skill to finish
       them off quickly.

 -4/17: You finally wake up today. 

 -4/18: School on a Saturday? Ugh. There is a Quiz today, the answer in <P3>
        is �How the tools were made,� while the answer in <FES> is �Mud huts.�
        When you get back to the dorm climb up to the 4th floor and the Fool
        Social Link will be established.  

 -4/19: Junpei joins SEES today. Hooray for Junpei!

 -4/20: You will have your first foray into Tartarus tonight. It isn�t too
        difficult, just make your way through the level, when you encounter a
        shadow Mitsuru will give you a tutorial on combat. Listen to it (or
        not) then use Agi to knock them down and initiate an All-Out Attack to
        finish them off. Split the group up when Mitsuru tells you to, then
        find the Access Point and return to the lobby. Your Fool Social Link
        will improve to Rank 2 when you get back. Leave Tartarus when you�re
        done.

 -4/21: There�s a lecture today in both versions. You have your first free
        afternoon today. After school go to the Police Station in Paulownia
        Mall, when you get there Akihiko will give you 5,000 Yen, but don�t
        buy anything at the mall just yet. (wait for the store�s sale days)

 -4/22: After school is over you will be asked by Kenji, one of your
        classmates if you would like to get some ramen with him. Do so and
        you�ll establish the Magician Social Link.

 -4/23: By the way, if you talk to the Student with Glasses near the door in
        your classroom and let him tell you about the sights of the Bay Area
        you�ll immediately warp to the city map. The school�s sports clubs are
        recruiting today. After school you will be able to join the Swimming,
        Track, or Kendo Teams. Join one of them (it doesn�t matter which) to
        establish the Chariot Social Link.

 -4/25: The Bookworms Used Bookstore at Iwatodai Station will reopen today.
        When you enter it the old couple there will mention the Persimmon Tree
        at Gekkoukan. After leaving the bookstore return to the school and
        find the Persimmon Tree at the courtyard connecting the main building
        with the gym then examine it to get a Persimmon Leaf. Take the leaf
        back to the bookstore and show it to them to establish the Hierophant
        Social Link.

 -4/27: There�s a Quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �2,� (duh) while the 
        answer in <FES> is �6,000 years ago.�  After school Mitsuru will talk
        to you about joining the Student Council. Head down to the Faculty
        Office and talk to Ms. Toriumi about joining the Student Council. From
        there you can head to the Student Council Room to establish the
        Emperor Social Link. 

 -4/29: If you decide to play Innocent Sin Online today, you�ll establish the
        Hermit Social Link. Just be aware that playing the game will take up
        the entire day. (meaning you�ll skip the Evening period and go
        straight to the next day)

 -4/30: There is a lecture today in both versions. When you get back to the
        dorm you�ll get a call from Elizabeth telling you to come to the
        Velvet Room. When you go to the Velvet Room Elizabeth will start her
        Requests side quest.

                                  ===========
=================================|May [004.2]|=================================
                                  ===========

 -5/3: If you turn on the TV in you room today (and every Sunday for the rest
       of the year) you will get a home shopping program. If you order
       whatever is being sold on the program it will be delivered to your room
       on the following Tuesday. (If you are exploring Tartarus on that day
       you will get the items the next time you go to your room) This week�s
       items are a Slash Ward and a Sappy Jelly for 2980 Yen. Oh, and by the
       way, if you have plans to meet with someone on Sundays you won�t be
       able to watch the home shopping program.

 -5/5: Make sure that you buy a �Mad Bull� item from one of the Dorm�s Vending
       Machines tonight, as you�ll need it tomorrow.

 -5/6: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �Basic,� while the answer
       in <FES> is �Soft Water.� After school is over go to Naganaki Shrine
       and talk to the girl standing by the Jungle Gym. She will introduce
       herself as Maiko and then ask you for some food, so go and buy some
       �Weird Takoyaki� from the Takoyaki stand in Iwatodai Station and give
       them to her. Now she wants something to drink so give her that Mad Bull
       you got yesterday. (You did get one, right?) She will ask if you�ll
       play with her again tomorrow. Agree to do so. 

 -5/7: Head back to Naganaki Shrine and play with Maiko to establish the
       Hanged Man Social Link.

 -5/8: This is the day before the Full Moon, and although the game doesn�t
       mention anything about it (other than that rather ominous countdown in
       the upper right corner of the screen) there is something I should
       mention about these days. In <P3> your and everyone else�s status will
       be locked at �Good� today, and if you were tired or sick you will be
       instantly upgraded to �Good.� (but on the flip side, if your status was
       �Great� then you will be downgraded to �Good�) This essentially gives
       you unlimited time in Tartarus. In <FES> however, you will NOT have
       infinite stamina on the nights before the full moon and you will get
       tired. It does take longer to get tired on these nights, and allies
       that are tired won�t automatically leave Tartarus the next time you go
       back to the lobby. Also keep in mind that if you or any of your allies
       are already tired/sick when the night before a full moon comes around
       they will remain tired/sick.

 -5/9: It seems that there is something is amiss at the Monorail. When you get
       control run to the monorail. When you get there you�ll climb aboard,
       then continue on down the Monorail Cars. Eventually there is a scene
       where Junpei runs off and you get attacked by two Spurious Books. Use
       fire to get rid of both of them quickly. After the battle you get
       attacked by two more Spurious Books and a Heat Balance. Use fire on the
       Spurious books and wind on the Heat Balance. After the battle continue
       forward until you find Junpei again. You�ll get attacked by a Spurious
       Book, a Heat Balance, and a Dancing Hand. Use fire on the Spurious Book
       and Dancing Hand while using Wind on the Heat Balance. After the battle
       the Monorail will start moving, and you�ve only have eight minutes
       before it crashes! Unfortunately you also get attacked by two Dancing
       Hand and a Laughing Table. Fortunately they are all weak to fire, so
       you should be able to knock them down and All-Out Attack them quickly.
       In the next car you�ll have to deal with random shadows. Take care of
       them quickly and in the next car you�ll have a boss battle.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Priestess

 -Repel: Ice, Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 7

 As long you have at least five minutes remaining when you start this battle
 you should be okay. She doesn�t have any weaknesses, so just hit her with
 your best non-ice attack. If she summons two Muttering Tiaras, use Bufu to
 get rid of them before they can heal Priestess. If you need Healing then use
 the Cadenza (Orpheus + Apsaras) combination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       After the battle is over the Fool Social Link will improve to Rank 3
       and you�ll get the �Conserve SP� Tactic as well.

 -5/10: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Giga Power
        Band and a Diet Food for 2,980 Yen. You�ll also get a call from
        Elizabeth informing you that floors 17-40 of Tartarus are now open.
        She doesn�t mention it in her call, but the Persona Compendium will
        also become available today. I would advise against trying to climb
        the new floors until after Mid-Terms, however, as Akihiko will join
        the party at that time and the extra muscle is abig help with the
        enemies in this section. You�ll probably want your nights free for
        studying, anyways.

 -5/11: The Mid-Term Exams are a week away, this means you won�t be able to
        improve any Social Links with Gekkoukan High students until Mid-Terms
        are over. Social Links that don�t involve students (i.e. Hanged Man,
        Hierophant, and Hermit) are unaffected. There is also a lecture today.

 -5/13: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �General Relativity
        Theory,� while the answer in <FES> is �About 1,700km/h.�

 -5/15: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �Let me go!� While the
        answer in <FES> is �Bread.�

 -5/16: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -5/17: The home shopping program is today, they are offering an All-Purpose
        Katana and two Diet Foods for 5,980 Yen.

 -5/18: Mid-Term Exams start today. The first day�s test depends on your
        Academics stat. For best results you need to have rank three in
        Academics.

 -5/19: Mid-Term Exams continue, the answer in <P3> is �Mangekyo,� while the
        answer in <FES> is �Bread,�

 -5/20: Mid-Term Exams continue, the answer in <P3> is �Chaos Theory,� while
        the answer in <FES> is �Faster than sound.�

 -5/21: Mid-Term Exams continue, the answer in <P3> is �Basic,� while the
        answer in <FES> is �Hard water.�

 -5/22: Mid-Term Exams continue, the answer in <P3> is �How the tools are
        made,� while the answer in <FES> is �Nara.�

 -5/23: Mid-Term Exams conclude today. How well you do on today�s test depends
        on you Academics stat. For best results, you need rank three in
        academics. You are finally able to reenter Tartarus tonight, but more
        than that, Akihiko joins the party tonight. Yipee skippy!

 -5/24: The home shopping program is today, they are offering an All-Purpose
        Apron and two Diet Foods for 5,980 Yen.

 -5/25: The Mid-Term Exam results are posted today. Depending on how well you
        did you�ll get a boost to your Charm Stat. (Getting top marks will
        give you a bigger bonus than merely being above average.) There is
        also a lecture today.

 -5/26: If you got top marks on the Mid-Term Exam you can talk to Mitsuru
        after school and she�ll give you a Page Card Set. (Sword of Page, Cup
        of Page, Wand of Page, Coin of Page) If you got anything less than top
        marks, however, you get nothing.

 -5/28: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -5/29: In <FES> there�s a lecture today.

 -5/31: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a pair of Health
        Sandals and a Diet Food for 3,980 Yen.

                                  ============

 -6/1: Summer uniforms hooray!

 -6/2: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -6/5: If you are curious, the correct answers for Yuka-tan�s Happy Quiz Time
       Show are: �There were three victims,� and �They hung out together.� It
       doesn�t really matter if you answer correctly, but at least you can
       look like you did more than just spend your week eating Ramen and
       singing Karaoke.

 -6/7: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a bottle of
       Perfume and five Medicines for 3,980 Yen.

 -6/8: You begin Operation Rescue Fuuka in your classroom at Gekkoukan High.
       Make your way down to the Faculty Office, and when Yukari asks what key
       she�s holding tell her it�s the Gym key.

       After some scenes you end up separated from the others on a random
       floor of Tartarus. Start climbing upward, fighting or avoiding Shadows,
       until on the third floor you reunite with Junpei and Akihiko. After a
       bunch of scenes Fuuka will take over the support role from Mitsuru and
       you will get thrown into a boss battle.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Empress, Emperor

 -Variable Resistances (see below)
 -Recommended Level: 13

 You may want to equip a bow for the Protagonist, so that every character has
 a different physical attack type. (You pierce, Junpei slash, and Akihiko
 strike) Also make sure that you are able to use all four elemental types.

 At the start of the battle Empress will have a weakness to the three weapon
 types while nullifying the four elemental types. Emperor on the other hand
 nullifies the three weapon types but has a weakness to the four elemental
 types. After taking some damage, however, they will use Paradigm Sift, which
 shuffles around their resistances. And when their HP gets very low they will
 only be vulnerable to a single type of damage and nullify all others.

 Make sure that you have Fuuka reanalyze them every time they use Paradigm
 Shift, then keep hitting their weaknesses and you should be able come out on
 top here. Although the Orpheus and Apsaras Personae are probably getting a
 little long in the tooth by now, their Cadenza combination is still the best
 choice for healing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       After the battle you will get the super-useful �Knock Down� Tactic.

 -6/9: The Shinshoudo Antique store opens today. Also you will be unable to
       enter Tartarus for the rest of the week.

 -6/10: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -6/12: The Death Social Link is established today.

 -6/13: There�s a lot of things happening today. First and foremost is that
        Fuuka joins the team and Mitsuru becomes a selectable character.
        Nifty. You�re also finally able to re-enter Tartarus tonight. Remember
        that from now on you need to talk to Fuuka instead of Mitsuru if you
        want to enter Tartarus. Floors 41-64 of Tartarus are now available to
        explore.

 -6/14: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Brand Purse
        and a bottle of Perfume for 5,980 Yen.

 -6/15: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �a colon,� while the
        answer in <FES> is �And...�

 -6/17: For some reason the quizzes that whacko nurse gives you are exactly
        the same in both <P3> and <FES>, so the answer in both games is
        �Shamanism.� The Culture Clubs are recruiting today. After School you
        can join either the Art, Music, or Photography Clubs (Like with the
        Chariot S.Link, it doesn�t matter which one you join) to establish the
        Fortune Social Link.

 -6/21: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Land Badge and
        ten Sappy Jelly for 24,800 Yen.

 -6/22: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �Chinese,� while the
        answer in <FES> is �Jellyfish.�

 -6/25: In <FES> there is a quiz today, the answer is �Dowsing.�

 -6/28: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a pair of
        Champion Gloves and three Sappy Jelly for 8,980 Yen. 

 -6/29: There�s a quiz today, the answer In <P3> is �Leonardo da Vinci,� while
        the answer in <FES> is �It can go either way.� Just FYI, with one
        thing and another this will be the final full week you�ll be able to
        improve student Social Links for about two months. 

                                  ============
=================================|July [004.4]|================================
                                  ============

 -7/3: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �The 2,000 Yen bill,� while
       the answer in <FES> is �The Global Heritage Pavilion.�

 -7/4: You should take advantage of the Pharmacy�s sale today to stock up on
       Dis-Charms and Me Patra Gems for the coming full moon. You want to have
       at least ten of both Dis-Charms and Me Patra Gems.

 -7/5: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Kevlar Vest and
       four Super Diet Food for 14,800 Yen.

 -7/7: For tonight�s operation Yukari will be a compulsory member. You are
       given the chance to choose the other two party members for tonight. I
       usually go with Akihiko and Junpei. When you reach the hotel climb up
       to the third floor and enter the Hierophant�s Chamber. Inside you�ll
       find the Hierophant, and he is not happy about you entering his
       Chamber.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Hierophant

 -Repel: Elec, Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 20

 He mostly attacks with electricity attacks, but he can use Prophecy of Ruin
 which can make the entire party afraid. Pretty simple battle, really. Just
 hit him with your best non-electric attacks and if anyone becomes afraid use
 a Me Patra Gem. He can cause problems if he decides to pick on Yukari with
 his electricity attacks, but you should be able to take him down eventually.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Well that was fun, but now let�s head back to the Dorm and... The
       door�s locked! Well... Why don�t we do as Fuuka suggests and search the
       room for the mystery shadow. Check the mirror and you�ll get zapped.

       You wake up in one of the rooms of the hotel. Answer �What was I...�,
       �That�s not true!�, �I can�t give in!�, and �Now�s not the time!� to
       shake off the Shadow�s influence. (and to prevent the game from getting
       an AO rating...)

       Hanky panky adverted, climb up to the second floor to reunite with your
       other members. Fuuka will now call to tell you that the boss is back in
       the Hierophant�s Chamber, but the door is being sealed by the some of
       the mirrors in this place. You will have to destroy the mirrors to undo
       the seal, but if you destroy the wrong mirror you will get zapped back
       to the first floor and you will have to start over again. Also note
       that random Shadows have popped up in the hotel. Start by breaking the
       mirror in Room 205, then climb up the third floor and break the mirror
       in Room 304 to break the seal on the door to the Hierophant�s Chamber,
       enter it to fight a new boss.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Lovers

 -Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 21

 Compared to Hierophant I think this boss is a little easier to handle. It
 doesn�t have any resistances to worry about, (other than the standard
 Light/Dark immunity for bosses) so just use your best attacks. It uses
 Maragion and can charm you with Marin Karin and Holy Arrow or Panic you with
 Pulinpa. It really sucks if the Protagonist gets charmed here, but
 unfortunately there isn�t much you can do about it. As long as your Dis-Charm
 and Me Patra Gem supply holds out you should be alright.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       After the battle the Fool Social Link will improve to Rank Four and you
       will get the �Full Assault� Tactic.

 -7/8: There�s a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �o-no-ma-to-pee-ah,� while
       the answer in <FES> is �I failed, it�s over now.� Wouldn�t you know it,
       we ended up saving the world just in time for Final Exams, so no
       student S.Links for you. 

 -7/9: There�s another quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �Heian-Kyo became the
       Capital,� while the answer in <FES> is �The Konden Einen Shizaihou.�
       Floors 65-89 of Tartarus are now available to explore. 

 -7/10: There�s yet another quiz today, the answer in both versions is
        �Kabbalah�

 -7/11: Good grief, another quiz? The answer in <P3> is �Their hairdos,� While
        the answer in <FES> is �Imperial Prince.�

 -7/12: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a pair of Max
        Safety Shoes and three Super Diet Foods for an even 10,000 Yen. The
        Death Social Link will improve to Rank Three tonight.

        bullets,� while the answer in <FES> is �Minamoto no Yoritomo.�

        the answer in <FES> is �I went, I learned.�

 -7/18: Final Exams conclude today, your performance on today�s test depends
        on your Academics score. For best results you want to have rank five
        in Academics.

 -7/19: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Mage�s Mark
        and ten Super Diet Food for 39,800 Yen.

 -7/20: Vacation Time! When you have had enough of the beach you can talk to
        Akihiko and tell him you�re heading back.

 -7/21: Today Junpei will initiate Operation Babe Hunt, which can only end in
        complete and total failure. You eventually find a strange girl
        standing out on the pier. You resolve to try talking to her, but when
        you do she will run off into the forest. (Smooth move Casanova...)
        Follow her into the forest and follow the path until you find her
        again. After a series of wacky hijinks and amusing misunderstandings
        the girl is introduced as Aigis: Mistranslated Android Shadow Killer
        and she will join SEES. Sweetness!

 -7/22: The Fool Social Link will improve to Rank 5 today.

 -7/23: Vacation�s over... *sigh*

 -7/24: Final Exams results are posted today. From now on if you talk to
        Yukari and your Charm stat is at Rank Six You will be able to walk
        home with her. Doing so will establish the Lovers Social Link.

        daytime hours will be spent training.

 -7/28: Um... I don�t have anything to put here, but since I�ve had something
        for nearly every day this month it felt weird not listing today.

                                 ==============
================================|August [004.5]|===============================
                                 ==============

 -8/2: The big sporting event is today.

 -8/3: If you head down to Iwatodai Station you�ll find Mamoru sitting on a
       bench across from the bookstore. Talk to him and if you have rank four
       in Courage he will challenge you to an eating contest. Accept the
       challenge and the Star Social Link will be established.

 -8/6: After your meeting with Strega form a party and head out after the
       Shadow. This area is just a single, long tunnel, but do be aware that
       there are random enemies when you reach 33m Underground. When you reach
       the end of the tunnel you will find the boss.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Chariot + Justice

 -Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 28

 This is a rather interesting battle. They start the battle as one enemy, but
 after a couple of turns they will split into two separate enemies. After a
 few more turns they will recombine into a single enemy. While they are
 together they will mainly use Kill Rush, but they can also Poison you with
 Poison Mist and Panic you with Tentarafoo. When they separate Chariot will
 mainly attacks with Kill Rush augmented by Power Charge, while Justice mainly
 attacks with Twin Shot and Torrent Shot. Justice can use Hama, so be ready
 for that.

 You�ll want to bring both Yukari and Mitsuru for healing, hopefully one (or
 both) of them has learned Diarama by now as it makes this fight a whole lot
 easier. The third character is up to you, I usually choose Aigis as she has
 both single and multiple-target physical attacks. Their only resistance is to
 Light and Darkness, so just use your best attack against them. (if you have a
 Persona with Getsu-ei use that, as it�s quite an effective attack during the
 full moon)

 The one thing about this battle that you have to remember is that you
 absolutely must defeat both of them at the same time. If only one of them is
 dead then the living Shadow will revive the dead one with Samarecarm,
 reviving them and bringing them back up to full HP to add insult to injury.
 If you �kill� them while they are combined they will separate with 1 HP each.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       After the battle you will get the �Same Target� Tactic.

 -8/7: The Death Social Link will improve to Rank Five today.

 -8/8: Koromaru joins up today. What is with those wings!? Floors 90-114 of
       Tartarus are now available to explore.

 -8/9: The home shopping program is today, they are offering an Omega Spear
       and five Veggie Supplements for 24,800 Yen. From now on in <FES> you
       can take Koromaru out for a walk during certain evenings. Usually this
       will just give you an item of some kind, (I�ve gotten anything from a
       Mad Bull to a Traesto Gem) but on certain nights you will either have
       the option to go with a SEES member or you meet with a Social Link on
       your walk. 

 -8/10: Summer School!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! From now until the 15th the entire
        day is going to be spent in Summer School, and you will get a bonus to
        Academics every day.

 -8/15: In <FES> you can go on a walk with Aigis tonight.

 -8/16: The home shopping program is today, they are offering an Emergency
        Vest and five Veggie Supplements for 24,800 Yen. You will be invited

        the invitation will improve your Social Link with that girl.

 -8/17: On certain days from now until the end of the month you will get
        invited to see the Film Festival with one of your classmates.
        Accepting this invitation will improve your Social Link with that
        person as well as improving one of your stats. Note that you won�t
        receive an invitation if you haven�t established a Social Link with
        that person yet. (Or if that Social Link has gone into a Reverse
        state) Also note that the schedules in <P3> and <FES> are different
        from each other. The <FES> schedule has been split into two parts.

 -8/24: During this week in <FES> you will be able to invite your fellow SEES
        members to see a movie with you. The only real difference is that you
        go and talk to them in the Dorm as opposed to having them call you at
        the start of the day. If you go to the movies with Junpei, Fuuka, or
        Mitsuru you will be able to follow it up with a walk with them in the
        evening.

==============================|September [004.6]|==============================
                               =================

 -9/1: School is back in session, and to celebrate there is a quiz today. The
       answer in <P3> is �You slide like crazy,� while the answer in <FES> is
       �Superconductivity.� In <FES> you can also go to the Nurse�s Office and
       listen to him babble about Tarot readings if you�re into that kind of
       thing.

 -9/3: Shinjiro rejoins SEES today. Fun for all!

 -9/5: Not much to say about this operation, really, just form a party and
       enter Club Escapade for a boss battle. You won�t be able to use Junpei
       for this battle, and the boss uses a lot of electricity attacks, so
       Yukari and Aigis are out. I would choose a party of Mitsuru, Akihiko
       and either Ken or Shinjiro.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Hermit

 -Drain: Elec, Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 36

 As long as you have Take-Mikazuchi set this battle shouldn�t give you too
 many problems. Hermit�s big attack is Giga Spark, a very painful Electrical
 attack, but fortunately you have ample warning when he�s about to use it. He
 starts by using Charge, then two turns doing NOTHING, then finally releasing
 Giga Spark.

 While Giga Spark is painful, you are essentially given three free turns to
 heal up and Tarunda and/or Marakukaja before he uses it, and if you have
 Take-Mikazuchi as your Persona you will nullify this attack completely. One
 final note, if your Take-Mikazuchi has been leveled up he will have Getsu-ei,
 which is quite effective in this battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       You will get the �Attack Fallen� Tactic after the battle.

 -9/6: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Brand Watch and
       five Snuff Souls for 10,000 Yen. If you go on a walk tonight in <FES>
       you�ll meet with the Justice S.Link.

 -9/7: Floors 115-139 of Tartarus are now available to explore.

 -9/10: There is a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �Come Here,� while the
        answer in <FES> is �Gochisou-sama.�

 -9/11: There is another quiz today, the answer in both versions is �The
        Hermetica.�

 -9/12: There is a lecture today in both versions. The Death Social Link will
        improve to Rank 6 today.

        Beads and a Health Supplement for 10,000 Yen.

 -9/14: There is a quiz today, the answer in <P3> is �It�s indeterminate,�
        while the answer in <FES> is �Can�t let others produce.�

 -9/15: In <FES> you can go on a walk with Shinjiro tonight.

 -9/18: TYPHOON! From now until the 20th you�re going to be stuck inside the
        Dorm, which means no Tartarus, no S.Links, and no Shopping for you.
        There won�t be a home shopping program on the 20th, either.

 -9/21: You can now do Cross Spread, (4 Personae) Pentagon Spread,
        (5 Personae) and Hexagon Spread (6 Personae) fusions at the Velvet
        Room starting today. (well, technically this became available on the
        18th, but thanks to that Typhoon you couldn�t get to the Velvet Room
        until today)

 -9/23: In <FES> there is a Film Festival today. You will be able to invite
        Shinjiro with you. Your Courage will increase if you go to the
        festival.

 -9/24: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

        Health Supplements for 35,800 Yen. In <FES> you will also be able to
        go on a walk with Akihiko tonight.

 -9/28: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

                                ===============
===============================|October [004.7]|===============================
                                ===============

 -10/1: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -10/3: There�s a lecture today in both versions. Oh, and by the way,
        tonight�s the last time you will be able to use Shinjiro, ever.

 -10/4: Tonight�s operation is more or less like the last one, where you
        simply form a party and fight the boss. You won�t have Ken or Shinjiro
        for this fight. One of the upcoming bosses does use Wind skills, but
        they do it infrequently enough so that Junpei won�t be too much of a
        liability in this battle. Other than that just use your best
        characters and you should do alright.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Fortune, Strength

 -(both) Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 45

 At the start of the battle Strength will encase Fortune in a force field,
 preventing you from attacking (or even targeting) it. The only way to get rid
 of the force field is to kill Strength. 

 Strength is a pretty standard physical attacker, with powerful attacks like
 Heat Wave and Gigantic Fist. She can use Sexy Dance however, which can really
 ruin your day. Still, you should have access to Mediarama by now so you
 should be able to keep up with her.

 On every turn Fortune will use Wheel of Fortune, which summons a giant
 spinner. There are three different spinners: one will inflict the Panic,
 Distressed, Enraged, or Afraid ailments; One which casts Matarukaja,
 Matarunda, Marakukaja, or Marakunda; and one which will either heal for 50 HP
 or damage for 50, 100, or 200 HP. Which side these spinners effects depend on
 the color it lands on, if it land on a blue section the result will be
 favorable to you, While if it lands on red the result will be bad.

 Being able to control which side comes off worse on the Wheel of Fortune is
 the key to this battle. What you want to do is be looking not at the pointer,
 but rather at a spot directly opposite of the pointer, as that is where the
 spinner will end up when it�s stopped. What I do is from your point of view
 use where Fortune intersects the far edge of the spinner as a reference
 point, then move this spot over a few tics to the left. This is the spot
 where the pointer is going to land when you press the X button.

 When you kill off Strength the force field will drop and you will finally be
 able to attack Fortune. He also stops using Wheel of Fortune on every turn
 and will throw out the occasional Torrent Shot or (Ma)Garudyne. When he does
 use Wheel of Fortune, however, the spinner will be made up entirely of damage
 sections. What�s more, there will be a lot more Red areas than Blue this time.
 Hopefully you�ve gotten the technique of stopping the spinner where you want
 down, because you will be tested here. As long as you can keep everyone�s
 HP above 200 just in case you screw up on Wheel of Fortune you should do
 okay.

 PS - If you manage to inflict the Fear ailment on Strength you can kill her
      in one shot with Ghastly Wail.

===============================|November [004.8]|==============================
                                ================



 -11/1: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Berserker�s
        Seal and two Mega Proteins for 39,800 Yen. In <FES> you can go on a
        walk with Yukari tonight.

 -11/2: The Fool Social Link will improve to Rank 6 today.

 -11/3: Time to face the final Shadow! Start by assembling a party. Koromaru
        is a good choice because he nullifies darkness. Bring along Mitsuru or
        Yukari for healing and your best attacker for the final slot. When you
        are ready Talk to Fuuka and begin the operation.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Takaya, Jin

 -(Takaya) Repel: Light, Null: Dark, (Jin) Repel: Fire/Dark, Null: Light
 -Recommended Level: 53

 For this battle you want a Persona that protects against Darkness as Jin can
 and will use Mudo and Mudoon. Mot is an excellent choice here as he repels
 Darkness and doesn�t have any elemental weaknesses for Takaya to exploit.
 Takaya mainly uses single target -Dyne level elemental attacks, but he can
 Also hit you with a Mind-Charged Megido so don�t slack off on the healing.

 There isn�t anything real special about this fight, take out Jin first with
 your best non-fire attack (like Getsu-ei) then finish off Takaya with
 whatever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        After Strega is defeated you are given a chance to re-form your party
        before the Shadow attacks. You will definitely want Yukari with you
        for this fight, and bringing Junpei isn�t a bad idea either.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Hanged Man

 -Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 53

 For this battle a Persona with Magarula is highly recommended as Wind is the
 only element in this battle that none of the enemies here nullify. Titania is
 a good choice as she has Mediarama and learns Magarula. (in <P3> she comes
 with it naturally, but in <FES> you have to level her up first) If you are
 playing <FES> and have maxed the Chariot S.Link maxed then Thor is far and
 away the best Persona for this battle. He comes with Vicious Strike, while it
 does have a rather hefty HP cost it can take out all three statues in one hit
 and seriously damage those Devious Mayas as well. Not only that but he also
 nullifies Strike attacks which will protect you from Hanged Man�s Akasha Arts
 and God�s Hand attacks. (While he�s still a good choice in <P3> he�s not
 quite as all-powerful as he is in <FES> mainly because he learns Gigantic
 Fist instead of Vicious Strike, which is only a single target attack and
 doesn�t do as much damage as Vicious Strike. His immunity to Strike attacks
 is still handy to have around though.)

 At the start of the battle Hanged Man will be hovering above the Battle and
 you won�t be able to target him. To bring him down you have to destroy the
 three statues that are under him. The left Statue nullifies Fire and uses
 Agilao. The middle Statue nullifies Ice and uses Bufula. The right Statue
 nullifies Electricity and uses Zionga. They don�t have a lot of HP, so
 Magarula should take them out quickly.

 When all three Statues are destroyed Hanged Man will fall. (Note that he�s
 counted as Down after he falls, so you can hit him with an All-Out Attack if
 there aren�t any Devious Mayas around.) When he is on the ground you will
 finally be able to target him. He uses some pretty nasty Strike attacks like
 Akasha Arts and God�s Hand, so be ready with Mediarama. He can also summon
 Devious Mayas, (by the way, the Official Strategy Guide is mistaken here in
 that the Devious Mayas do NOT have a weakness to Electricity. They do still
 nullify Ice, though.) and when he summons three of them he will use
 Armed & Ready, which on their next turn will cause the Devious Mayas to
 use Last Resort, killing themselves. (and you too, most likely)

 Getting rid of those Devious Mayas as soon as Hanged Man summons them should
 be you top priority. A Mind-Charged Magarula will likely be your best friend
 in accomplishing this.

 Eventually Hanged Man will resummon those three statues and return to
 hovering above the battle. You are going to have to destroy those statues
 again to continue the assault on Hanged Man.

 This will be a lengthy battle, but as long as you can quickly get rid of
 those Statues/Devious Mayas you should be able to outlast him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 -11/4: The Death Social Link will improve to Rank 10 today. The Fool Social
        Link will improve to rank 7 today as well.

 -11/5: Yukari�s Persona will evolve to Isis today.

 -11/6: Floors 165-214 of Tartarus are now available to explore. Oh, and
        Mitsuru will be unavailable from now until the 14th. In <FES> talk to
        Junpei in the evening and tell him �Go see her.�

 -11/7: In <FES> if you go on a walk tonight you�ll meet with the Star S.Link.

 -11/8: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Raven�s Claw
        and seven Mega Proteins for 114,800 Yen. In <FES> if you go on a walk
        tonight then you�ll meet with the Strength S.Link.

 -11/9: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -11/11: In <FES> talk to Junpei in the evening and tell him �Just talk to
         her.�

 -11/12: There�s a quiz today, the answer in both versions is �The Upanishads�

 -11/14: Mitsuru returns to action today. There�s quite bit going on in <FES>
         today. You have a lecture today, and if you go on a walk you�ll meet
         with the Justice S.Link. Also in <FES> be sure to talk to Junpei and
         tell him �Don�t give up.�

 -11/15: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Sid�s Jacket
         and eight Mega Proteins for 128,000 Yen.

 -11/16: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -11/17: Field Trip! Woo Hoo!

 -11/18: Mitsuru�s Persona will evolve to Artemisia today.

 -11/19: Thanks to Junpei�s hare-brained scheme you are now trapped deep
         behind enemy lines and if you get discovered you will be EXECUTED!
         You won�t be able to escape because the entrance is being covered, so
         you are going to have to hide until they leave. They start by
         circling counter-clockwise around the big rock you�re standing next
         to, so move to the right side of the rock. After a while they will
         start looking in the other direction, so move to the left side of the
         rock. Eventually they will decide to split up and when they do go
         into the little recess in the rock with the waterfall. There you will
         be given the option to hide in there. Do so and you will be able to
         wait there until they give up and leave. (Personally I think it�s
         more amusing to get yourself executed, you should try it at least
         once.)

 -11/20: Well, that was fun but it�s back to the grind... Starting tomorrow.
         In <FES> you can go on a walk with Ken tonight.

 -11/21: There�s a lecture today in both versions.

 -11/22: The home shopping program is today, they are offering a Shoes of Bane
         and five Mega Proteins for 79,800 Yen. In <FES> be sure to talk to
         Junpei today and tell him �If you help her.� It would seem that
         something is happening at Tartarus, so form a party and head out.
         Junpei will be unavailable for the upcoming battle. My only
         recommendation is having Koromaru for his resistances, Yukari for
         healing and having your best attacker for... attacking. 

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Chidori

 -Drain: Fire, Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 58

 For this battle you will want a Persona with Fire protection, as Agi skills
 are her most common attack. She can use Mamudoon, so a persona with Darkness
 protection is also recommended. Arahabaki is a good choice as it Nullifies
 Fire and is resistant to Darkness, but to get Arahabaki you�ll have to have
 maxed the Hermit Social Link first. If you can�t/won�t use Arahabaki then the
 next best Persona to use is Incubus, which nullifies both Fire and Darkness.
 (even though it is about 20 levels behind Arahabaki...)

 There�s not much to say about this battle, she mostly uses Agilao but she can
 do Mind Charge then Maragidyne. She doesn�t have a lot of HP but she does
 have a skill called Spring of Life, which regenerates around 90 of her HP
 every turn. Just hit her with your best non-fire attacks and she shouldn�t
 cause too many problems.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Junpei�s Persona will evolve to Trismegistus after the battle.

 -11/24: From today until the 27th the entire day will be spent on Career Day.

        you don�t have to worry about becoming tired on your trek to the top
        of Tartarus.

        The final area, Floors 255-263 will open up tonight. Climb up to the
        258th Floor, where you will run into an old friend.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Jin

 -Repel: Fire/Dark, Null: Light
 -Recommended Level: 74

 This battle is interesting in that Jin can throw everything including the
 kitchen sink at you. Ailments, physical attacks, mid-level multi-target
 elemental skills, (mid-level... huh?) -Dyne level single target spells, Hama,
 and Mudo skills are all available to him.

 I've noticed that for some reason if you bring Mitsuru along he does nothing
 but use Maragion and Agidyne over and over. So if you bring a party of
 Junpei, Koromaru, and Mitsuru and set a fire-immune persona yourself all you
 have to is concentrate on keeping Mitsuru alive while letting Junpei and
 Koromaru beat down Jin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        After Jin is gone continue to climb up Tartarus and on floor 262 you
        will run into another old friend.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Takaya

 -Repel: Light, Null: Dark
 -Recommended Level: 74

 For all his talk about being stronger he's almost exactly like he was when
 you fought him back in November. In fact, the only change I noticed was that
 he has a bit more HP and he uses Megidola instead of Megido after a Mind
 Charge. Just use a Persona that doesn't have any elemental weakness and beat
 him down with your best attacks and he shouldn't give you any problems. You
 could even cast Makarakarn every turn then watch as Takaya kills himself with
 his own reflected magic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        After Takaya is dealt with there�s nothing to stop you from reaching
        the roof of Tartarus and the final boss of Persona 3.

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   Nyx Avatar

 -Recommended Level: 75

 Well, this is it, the final boss, and she has no less than fourteen (!)
 different forms standing between you and the ending. Although each form
 doesn't have a lot of HP, they do add up, making this one of the lengthiest
 battles in the game. Don't be surprised if you have to burn a Precious Egg or
 a Soma or two as you make your way through her various forms. One thing I
 should mention here is that all of Nyx Avatar�s forms will get two turns in
 a row.

 At a bare minimum I would recommend having the Horus and Rafael Personae for
 this battle. Both Personae will learn Mediarahan and have no elemental
 weaknesses. A leveled up Horus is immune to both Light and Darkness, and
 Rafael comes with Null Charm, which can save you from a lot of headaches. If
 you happen to have a Tome of the Void (Heart Item from Abbadon) you can just
 equip that and not worry about Null Charm or Null Rage. Having a Persona that
 knows Amrita is also recommended.

  -Arcana: Fool
  -Null: Light/Dark

 This form, the only Fool Arcana enemy in the whole game, does absolutely
 nothing. Don�t waste SP by setting everybody�s Tactics to Conserve SP and
 beat on her with Physical attacks until she switches forms.

  -Arcana: Magician
  -Drain: Fire, Null: Light/Dark

 This form will use all types of fire attacks from Agi to Maragidyne and can
 erase fire protection with Fire Break.

  -Arcana: Priestess
  -Drain: Ice, Null: Light/Dark

 This form will use all types of ice attacks from Bufu to Mabufudyne and can
 erase ice protection with Ice Break.

  -Arcana: Empress
  -Drain: Wind, Null: Light/Dark

 This form will use all types of wind attacks from Garu to Magarudyne and can
 erase wind protection with Wind Break.

  -Arcana: Emperor
  -Drain: Elec, Null: Light/Dark

 This form will use all types of electric attacks from Zio to Maziodyne and
 can erase electricity protection with Elec Break.

  -Arcana: Hierophant
  -Repel: Light/Dark, Null: Strike

 She starts out this form by using Rebellion to increase everyone�s critical
 hit rate and blasting you with physical attacks like Vile Assault and Fatal
 End.

  -Arcana: Lovers
  -Null: Wind/Light/Dark

 Make sure you have Rafael set because she will try to charm you with Marin
 Karin and Holy Arrow. She can also Panic you, but it�s nothing a Me Patra Gem
 can�t fix.

  -Arcana: Chariot
  -Null: Slash/Strike/Pierce/Light/Dark

 This form uses God�s Hand and Heat Wave that have been augmented with Power
 Charge. She nullifies all physical attacks, but she also takes more damage
 than usual from elemental magic.

  -Arcana: Justice
  -Null: Fire/Ice/Light/Dark

 This form mostly uses Hamaon and Mahama against you.

  -Arcana: Hermit
  -Null: Wind/Light/Dark

 She will use Mudoon and Mamudoon here, but she can also set up a Tetrakarn or
 Makarakarn barrier here as well.

  -Arcana: Fortune
  -Null: Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind/Light/Dark

 This form uses all types of elemental magic against you. She also nullifies
 all element types, so use physical attacks here.

  -Arcana: Strength
  -Null: Slash/Strike/Pierce/Light/Dark

 The last form was a magic user and now we get a physical attacker. She uses
 Deathbound and Tempest Slash that have been augmented with Power Charge and
 Rakunda.

  -Arcana: Hanged Man
  -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce

 Almost there. She uses Mind Charge and Megidola, so be sure to keep your HP
 up at all times. This form can use Mudoon, so be ready for it.

  -Arcana: Death
  -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: all except Almighty

 Okay, now she's serious. Not only does this form have four times as much HP
 as the previous forms, but she also takes less damage from whatever you throw
 at it as well.

 This form mainly attacks with elemental magic, and can use break skills to
 erase any immunities you might have. She can also use a skill called Moonless
 Gown which repels all attacks including Almighty and doesn�t break after a
 single hit like Tetrakarn/Makarakarn does. If she sets up Moonless Gown your
 only choice is to set everyone�s Tactics to Stand By and wait until she lifts
 it. When her HP get low she starts using Night Queen, which is a lot like the
 Celestial Ray skill in DDS because it does a lot of Almighty and has a chance
 to inflict a random ailment.

 As long as the Protagonist can keep from being Charmed/Enraged you should be
 able to handle Night Queen. If you have Raphael set and a Ring of Serenity
 equipped you will be able to avoid getting charmed/enraged, then you can
 concentrate on healing and curing Ailments while your party members finish
 off Nyx.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        After the Death form of Nyx Avatar is beaten you get to the final
        final Boss of the game. This battle is simple, just wait until your HP
        fills back up then use Great Seal to end the battle.

        After all that it's time for the Epilogue. You can go around town if
        you wish, or just head back to the Dorm and go to bed. In <FES> you
        can also see epilogues of every Social Link that you maxed in the
        game. Do the same the following day and the ending will finally kick
        in.

-----------------------------------New Cycle-----------------------------------

 Just like in previous MegaTen games, after the ending has finished you will
 be able to make a New Cycle Save. When you load up this New Cycle save you
 will start the game over again with a few benefits that carry over from your
 previous game.

 -The Protagonist's stats, levels and equipment will carry over into the New
  Cycle.

 -Your Personae don't carry over, but your Persona Compendium will. (when it
  becomes available on May 10th)

 -Any restricted Personae that you have unlocked (Either through Elizabeth�s
  Requests or through Maxed Social Links) will remain unlocked throughout any
  subsequent play throughs.

 -For some reason your allies� Levels and Equipment do NOT carry over.
  Unfortunately this means that whatever equipment your allies had at the
  end of the game are gone forever, so be aware of that.

 -Your Money and equipment inventory will carry over, but your usable items do
  not.

 -During the April 9th events Yukari won't give the Protagonist a Short
  Sword and he will just use whatever weapon he had during the final battle.
  (another little bit of useless trivia is that is that on your first time
  through the game the Protagonist isn't wearing a SEES Armband during the
  Cowardly Maya battle, while on subsequent play throughs he is)

 -Your Social Links do reset unfortunately. However, If you maxed out a Social
  Link on a previous play through then you will still be able to fuse the
  ultimate persona of that Arcana. You just won�t get the experience bonus
  from having a Rank 10 S.Link.

 -If you had unlocked Monad Block in the previous game (meaning you didn�t
  chicken out on New Years Eve and get the alternate ending) it will be
  available from the start of the game.

 -Elizabeth�s Request #55 will be unlocked, which will open up a
  super-powerful optional boss fight.

|||||||||||||||||||||The Journey - Tartarus Guardians [005]||||||||||||||||||||
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������

 Due to the random nature of Tartarus, the main dungeon of Persona 3, trying
 to write a walkthrough for it would be an exercise in futility. This section
 will instead concentrate on the Guardians you encounter as you climb the
 tower.

                              ====================

                              ====================

____________________________________Floor 5____________________________________

   Venus Eagle x 3

 -Arcana: Empress
 -Drain: Fire, Null: Wind/Light/Dark, Weak: Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 4

 As long as you�ve found/bought a bow before the battle and had the
 Protagonist equip it before the battle this should be easy. Since they are
 weak to pierce knock them down with your bow then do an All-Out Attack. The
 only problem you might have is if they decide to pick on Junpei with their
 Garu skills, but the battle should be short enough so this shouldn�t become
 an issue.

____________________________________Floor 10___________________________________

   Dancing Hand x 3

 -Arcana: Magician
 -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Elements, Weak: Strike
 -Recommended Level: 5

 Hopefully you�ve found an Apsaras In your travels so far so you can use the
 Cadenza combination (Orpheus + Apsaras) as it will be invaluable in this
 fight. These guys can be a problem, as they can use every type of element
 against you, and their magic hurts. If all three use Magaru on the same turn
 you will probably die. (and Junpei will definitely die) 

 This is the first battle where you really need to control your enemies�
 actions by keeping them down on the ground. Start by using Orpheus� Bash to
 knock them down but do NOT initiate an All-Out Attack, instead relent and use
 the extra turn to heal or do another attack. This way at least two of the
 Hands should be wasting their turns getting up. If anyone gets in trouble
 then use Cadenza to heal.

____________________________________Floor 14___________________________________

   Rampage Drive

 -Arcana: Chariot
 -Repel: Strike, Null: Slash/Pierce/Light/Dark, Strong: Fire
 -Recommended Level: 6

 This can be a really difficult battle, as not only is it immune to all types
 of physical attacks, but it also doesn�t have any weaknesses for you to
 exploit either. Add to that the fact that its Assault Dive can kill you in
 one hit and this will be your biggest challenge yet.

 As for Persona you will want an Ara Mitama, (you can acquire one by fusing
 Pixie and Angel) as it will help protect you from its Assault Dive.
 Unfortunately Ara Mitama�s offensive capacity leaves much to be desired in
 this battle, (The only offensive skills it learns naturally are Bash, which
 it repels, and Agi, which it is resistant to) so might want to risk switching
 to Apsaras or something with elemental magic that Rampage Drive is not
 resistant to.

 This battle is really just a slugfest, Use the Cadenza combination for
 healing, Set Yukari�s Tactics to Heal/Support if you need it, hit it with
 your best magic and hope it doesn�t one-hit kill you.

 One last thing, I hope you�ve got some Revival Beads handy, as you will need
 them.

   Crying Table x 3

 -Arcana: Magician
 -Drain: Fire, Null: Strike/Light/Dark, Weak: Ice, Strong: Slash/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 10

 For this fight I would recommend whipping up a Yomotsu Shikome by fusing that
 Ara Mitama you used in the Rampage Drive fight with another Angel. Other than
 that there isn�t much to say about this fight, use Yomotsu Shikome to Bufu
 them down and All-Out Attack or heal as necessary, and they shouldn�t give
 you too many problems.

____________________________________Floor 36___________________________________

   Change Relic

 -Arcana: Empress
 -Null: Wind/Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 12

 Before this battle level up an Apsaras until she learns Posmudi, then fuse
 her with a Nekomata. In <P3> the result is an Omoikane with Posmudi. In <P3>
 Omoikane has a resistance to Wind and having Posmudi is invaluable for this
 fight. It doesn�t quite work out that way in <FES>, since the fusion tables
 have been switched around and instead of an Omoikane you get an Alp. This
 actually works out quite well for you, since Alp has a resistance to wind
 while in <FES> Omoikane does not. It is VERY difficult to keep Junpei alive
 through this fight. In fact it might be a better idea to just leave him back
 at the lobby and fight this battle a man down.

 Set Yukari�s Tactics to Heal/Support, as she will be useless offensively in
 this battle. You�ll likely have to rely on Akihiko to do most of the damage
 in this battle, so be sure to keep him above 100 HP at all times. It mostly
 pounds you with (Ma)garula, but it will occasionally throw in a Poison Mist,
 which can poison the entire party. If anyone get poisoned then immediately
 use Posmudi to cure it. (Yukari will occasionally chip in a Dis-Poison of her
 own, but don�t count on it.) This will be a lengthy battle, but as long a you
 can keep everyone free of poison and Akihiko above 100 HP you should be able
 to outlast it.

____________________________________Floor 47___________________________________

   Golden Beetle x 3

 -Arcana: Emperor
 -Null: Ice/Light/Dark, Weak: Elec, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 16

 These guys will always get the first turn in this battle, which they will use
 to cast Tarukaja on themselves. (And they will recast it when it wears off)
 This makes all of their attacks pretty painful, and if they use Kill Rush
 they can kill you in one hit.

 Make sure you have Akihiko and that his tactics are set to Knock Down. Hit
 them with electricity (Which, oddly enough, does only single digit damage,
 much less than elements that they are not �weak� to) to knock them down and
 All-Out Attack them. If you are feeling paranoid you may want to set a
 Persona that protects against Strike (Kill Rush) and have them waste their
 turns getting up.

____________________________________Floor 59___________________________________

   Intrepid Knight

 -Arcana: Emperor
 -Drain: Wind, Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 18

 A good Persona for this battle is Fortuna, as she�s resistant to Wind. You
 can make one by fusing a Yomotsu Shikome with a Valkyrie.

 For the most part he will use Garudyne and Magarula that have been boosted
 with Mind Charge. He will occasionally use Kill Rush as well. He can also use
 Hama, so have some Revival Beads handy in case he gets lucky.

 This is another good battle to leave Junpei behind, as his survivability is
 highly suspect in this battle. (Jeez, just how many of these wind-using
 bosses are there anyways?) Be sure to set Yukari�s Tactics to Heal/Support as
 well. Akihiko should know Tarunda by now which should be a big help. (if he
 decides to cast it... Try setting his Tactics to Heal/Support to encourage
 him.)

 Other than that, just chip away with elemental magic while keeping your HP up
 and you should come out on top. If you happen to have mid-level elemental
 magic use that to speed up the process.

   Furious Gigas x 3

 -Arcana: Strength
 -Repel: Strike, Null: Fire/Light/Dark, Weak: Wind, Strong: Elec
 -Recommended Level: 24

 You want to have Yukari in the party and have her Tactics set to Knock Down.
 The strategy for this fight is to simply knock them down with wind attacks
 and either All-Out Attack or have them waste their turn getting up. They can
 kill you in one hit with their Gigantic Fist attack, so watch out for that.

____________________________________Floor 85___________________________________

   Fanatic Tower

 -Arcana: Hierophant
 -Repel: Fire/Ice/Elec, Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 26

 As you can see, the only way to really damage this guy is with Strike or Wind
 attacks. He uses a lot of Electric attacks, so Yukari will likely more of a
 hindrance than a help in this battle. I would suggest having both Junpei and
 Akihiko in your party, as they can both use Strike attacks, (and Akihiko
 resists Electric attacks to boot) then bringing along Mitsuru in for healing.
 I would suggest Kusi Mitama as your Persona, as it knows wind attacks and is
 resistant to electricity. 

 Like I said, it mainly attacks with Zionga and Mazionga, but it can also
 poison you with Poison Mist. Be ready to use a Dis-Poison if anyone gets
 poisoned or hit it with Garula if no one needs healing. Set Mitsuru�s Tactics
 to Heal/Support and try to get Akihiko to cast Tarunda on it to make your
 life easier.

____________________________________Floor 98___________________________________

   Magical Magus x 3

 -Arcana: Magician
 -Drain: Ice, Null: Light/Dark, Weak: Fire, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 30

 For this battle you want a Persona that has fire attacks but not a weakness
 to ice. They can use Ice Break, which erases a Persona�s immunity to ice, so
 don�t worry too much about setting a Persona that is immune to Ice. I would
 recommend Lamia, As she starts with Agilao and is resistant to Ice. You can
 make one by fusing Oberon and Take-Minakata. Since both Junpei and Koromaru
 have fire attacks they should also be included in this battle and have their
 Tactics set to Knock Down.

 They can use Mind Charge which will make their Mabufula attacks very painful,
 but since you should have three characters who can exploit their weaknesses
 this battle shouldn�t cause you too many problems.

___________________________________Floor 110___________________________________

   Natural Dancer

 -Arcana: Lovers
 -Null: Wind/Light/Dark, Strong: Fire/Elec
 -Recommended Level: 33

 You know, I can�t help thinking that Atlus intentionally designed this boss
 to make you want to pitch your controller across the room.

 First off, the only way to damage them is with physical attacks or ice.
 Unfortunately they can also use Tetrakarn, which will repel physical attacks,
 (and unlike the shield skills in DDS it will stay up until they are broken)
 so you are pretty much forced to use ice against them. (unless you are
 willing to attack and break the shield and eat a reflected attack) They also
 love to pound you with both Garudyne and Magarudyne. But the real aggravation
 comes from when they use Sexy Dance, which can charm the entire party.
 There�s nothing worse than having your entire party charmed and having to sit
 helplessly while they heal up Natural Dancer and kill their own party
 members. (actually, having only The Protagonist get charmed while the other
 members do nothing to help while you go on a rampage is probably worse...)

 That being said there is actually a simple solution to this battle: fight it
 solo. Since it only attacks with Garu skills, if you set a Wind-nullifying
 Persona like Kusi Mitama or Clotho they won�t be able to damage you. Plus,
 since Kusi Mitama has no healing skills, nor are there any allies for you to
 attack, if you if get charmed then The Protagonist will just stand there and
 do nothing until it wears off. (and if you happen to have a Narcissist�s
 Flower (Heart Item from Narcissist) equipped you don�t even have to worry
 about being charmed) The only problem is when it uses Tetrakarn, your only
 option is to break it by attacking and eating the damage from the reflected
 attack, so make sure you keep your HP above 100 just in case.

 I�ve received a couple of emails stating that they actually can attack with a
 normal physical attack, they just do it very VERY infrequently. As long as
 your HP doesn�t drop below 100 you shouldn�t have too many problems. 

 Unfortunately, it looks like they can also use Hamaon as well. They very
 rarely use it (I personally have never seen them use it, although I�ve
 received reports from others where they practically spam it on them) but when
 they do it can definitely mess things up. Unfortunately there isn�t much you
 can do about it when they do use it, as the only Persona that nullifies Wind
 and has protection from Light is Nandi and that�s a level 39 Persona.
 Personally I wouldn�t recommend going crazy grinding to get a Persona that
 only marginally protects you from an attack that they only rarely use
 anyways. If it bothers you just buy a Homunculus or two from the Antique Shop
 before the battle and that should cover you.

   Arcane Turret x 3

 -Arcana: Chariot
 -Null: Fire/Elec/Light/Dark, Weak: Ice, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 38

 Bring along Mitsuru and have her Tactics set to Knock Down. The other two
 characters don�t really matter so just bring whoever. Just knock them down
 with ice and All-Out Attack them or heal and have them waste their turn
 getting up.

___________________________________Floor 135___________________________________

   Sleeping Table

 -Arcana: Magician
 -Null: Strike/Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Pierce/Fire
 -Recommended Level: 44

 In many ways I think this is one of the most difficult battles in the game.

 The problem with this battle is that it just causes way too much damage. Its
 Maragidyne can easily chop off 250 HP of damage, and if it uses Megidola it
 can take off another 300. Add to that it can use Hamaon and this makes for
 one daunting opponent.

 This battle is almost impossible without Mediarama, as it�s incredibly
 difficult to keep up with its damage output without it. Saki Mitama does
 learn Mediarama (Although you have to level it up first) and it has a
 resistance to Fire, so it�s probably the best choice for this battle. (It
 doesn�t have any Light resistance, though. Hopefully you have acquired some
 Homunculus items during your travels.) Using Tarunda and/or Marakukaja is
 also highly recommended. Parvati learns Marakukaja, and if you fuse her with
 a Leanan Sidhe (who also learns Mediarama, by the way) you get a Saki Mitama.
 Yukari will learn Mediarama when she reaches level 43, but she can be rather
 unreliable on using that instead of plain Diarama.

 Since both Junpei and Koromaru have some form of protection from Fire they
 are good choices for this battle. (Even though Koromaru is kibble if he gets
 hit with Hamaon) Unfortunately their attacks won�t be that effective here, so
 I would only take one of them to this battle. Mitsuru has a weakness to fire
 which is a very bad thing here, so leave her at home. Akihiko knows Tarunda,
 which is helpful... When he decides to use it.

 You�ll probably be spending most of this battle casting Mediarama, and even
 with that and Yukari�s Tactics set to Heal/Support it might not be enough to
 keep up with it. Don�t be afraid to use a Magic Mirror to take some of the
 heat off. (so to speak) a Magic Mirror will protect you from Maragidyne and
 Hamaon, but it won�t stop a Megidola.

___________________________________Floor 146___________________________________

   Hell Knight x 3

 -Arcana: Emperor
 -Drain: Elec, Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Fire/Ice/Wind
 -Recommended Level: 48

 Make sure you acquire Koumokuten for this fight because of his resistance to
 both Strike and Electricity, which just so happens to be what this boss uses.
 I would also recommend having Kikuri-Hime in reserve for this fight because
 she knows Mediarama. (Don�t use Saki Mitama as it is weak to their Heat Wave
 attack)

 Physical attacks are the way to go in this battle. You want to bring your two
 best physical attackers along with Mitsuru for healing. Note they can and do
 use Elec Break, so Akihiko won�t have as big an advantage in this battle as
 he normally would. (Still, they will waste a turn on casting it, so I guess
 it still is helpful) The only characters I would recommend against are Yukari
 and Aigis because of their weakness to Electricity.

 With all three knights attacking it can be hard to keep up with them, So
 reducing their numbers should be your first priority. Set Mitsuru�s Tactics
 to Heal/Support and the other two to Assign Target and have them concentrate
 on a single enemy. If you can survive until one of them is dead this battle
 becomes a whole lot easier. Watch out if one of them uses Mind Charge, as on
 the next turn they will use Maziodyne, so make sure everyone is fully healed.

___________________________________Floor 160___________________________________

   Mythical Gigas

 -Arcana: Strength
 -Repel: Strike, Drain: Fire, Null: Pierce/Light/Dark, Strong: Slash
 -Recommended Level: 50

 First there was a boss that needed physical attacks, and now one that
 requires magic to beat.

 I would suggest you use Dionysus as your Persona, as his resistance to Slash
 attacks will help to keep you alive and his Magic Charge and (if you level
 him up) Ziodyne will be quite powerful here. You�ll want to bring your best
 magic users here, which is likely Yukari, Mitsuru, and Akihiko. Unfortunately
 these guys can have a difficult time surviving the Mythical Gigas� assault,
 (particularly Yukari) so you might want to consider subbing in Ken for
 someone here.

 This guy is a pretty brutal physical attacker. He uses Deathbound and Vile
 Assault that have been augmented with Power Charge and Marakunda. If you have
 any Dekunda Gems, now�s the time to use them! Also consider using an Attack
 Mirror after he use Power Charge, because if he uses Deathbound the next turn
 it will bounce back at him, hitting him four times at around 90 HP a hit.

 Other than that make sure you have a dedicated healer while you pound him
 with your best non-fire magic attacks and you should be able to outlast him.

   Judgment Sword x 3

 -Arcana: Justice
 -Drain: Elec, Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce/Fire
 -Recommended Level: 55

 Ice attacks are the best way to fight these guys, as Ice causes more damage
 to them than any other type. For this reason bringing along Mitsuru is highly
 recommended. Yukari is the only other character that can really damage them,
 but unfortunately they like to use electricity so it can be risky using her.
 Everyone else is going to have a hard time damaging these guys so just bring
 whoever.

 A Persona with Bufudyne and protection from electricity would be ideal for
 this fight. Unfortunately, no such Persona exists, so you�re either going to
 have to try to fuse one or just use Loki or Laksmi which will learn Bufudyne
 and doesn�t have a weakness to electricity. There�s not much more to say
 about this fight, as it�s a pretty standard boss fight. Use the Assign Target
 Tactic to thin their numbers while keeping yourself healed up.

___________________________________Floor 180___________________________________

   Stasis Giant x 3

 -Arcana: Justice
 -Null: Slash/Light/Dark, Strong: Strike/Pierce/Fire/Wind
 -Recommended Level: 58

 This can be a brutal fight, as they can throw some pretty painful attacks
 like Mighty Swing, Fatal End, Deathbound, and Tempest Slash at you. Not only
 that, but they can also use Power Charge to increase the pain.

 In <P3> if you set Narashima, Kali, or Chernobog as your Persona the only way
 they can hurt you is with Double Fangs, which they do infrequently and is
 nowhere near as powerful as their other attacks. Unfortunately the only one
 of these Persona that has any way of damaging the enemy is Chernobog, which
 learns Megidola if you level him up, as the others can only learn Slash
 attacks. Unfortunately you probably won�t have enough SP for more than a few
 casting of Megidola. Still, you could give the Protagonist a spear, turn Rush
 on... And then wait a half-hour until he finishes poking them to death with
 his pointed stick.

 You can�t depend on the pointed-stick strategy in <FES> however, because
 instead of Twin Fangs they use Gigantic Fist, a rather nasty strike attack.
 Unless you somehow manage to fuse Null Strike onto a Chernobog you probably
 won�t live long enough to kill them with just your weapon. You�ll need to be
 a bit more daring here, so I would recommend the Dionysus Persona here. He
 has a resistance to both Slashing and Strike attacks and his Ziodyne is quite
 effective here. Make sure everyone focuses on one Giant to thin their numbers
 as quickly as possible and don�t be afraid to use Matarunda and/or Marakukaja
 as well.

___________________________________Floor 190___________________________________

   Phantom King

 -Arcana: Hermit
 -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: all except Slash
 -Recommended Level: 60

 This guy throws a lot of Hama skills at you, so having a Persona that
 nullifies Light is essential for this fight. Ken is a good person to bring
 along as he nullifies Light, and even if he can�t cause a lot of damage he
 still makes for a good healer. I would suggest Mitsuru and Junpei as your
 other two characters, but as long as you don�t bring Koromaru it doesn�t
 really matter who you bring.

 He can do Mind Charge and Megido, so be ready to heal up if he uses Mind
 Charge. Other than that it�s simply a matter of having a lot of Revival Beads
 to revive whoever falls victim to his Hama skills and then Slashing him to
 death.

___________________________________Floor 201___________________________________

   Royal Dancer x 3

 -Arcana: Lovers
 -Null: Light/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 62

 The thing that makes this battle so annoying is that they spend almost the
 entire time trying to poison, panic, and charm your party. This is quite
 annoying (especially given the unreliability of your allies� A.I. in curing
 ailments) and potentially lethal if the Protagonist gets charmed. They do
 use Primal Force, but they do it rather infrequently.

 Keeping the protagonist from getting charmed is vital for this battle. To do
 this you can either set Raphael as your Persona or equip Narcissist�s
 Flowers. As long as you can keep the Protagonist from getting charmed and
 your supply of ailment-curing items holds out this battle should more of an
 annoyance than a problem.

___________________________________Floor 211___________________________________

   Reckoning Dice

 -Arcana: Fortune
 -Repel: Light, Null: Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind/Dark
 -Recommended Level: 64

 Okay, now I KNOW Atlus intentionally designed this boss to make you want to
 pitch your controller across the room.

 As you can see, the only way to harm it is with physical attacks. So what
 does it do? It casts Tetrakarn to make itself invulnerable to everything
 except Almighty! Not only that, but it then spends EVERY FREAKING TURN
 casting either Megidola or Megidolaon! So while you can�t even touch it, it
 will gladly annihilate your party without you being to do a damn thing about
 it!

 *Gasp*... *Pant*... I�m alright... I�m okay... Anyway, for this battle you
 need a Persona that can nullify the type of damage of the Protagonist�s
 weapon (i.e. if your Protagonist uses Swords then have Kali or Chernobog) and
 a Persona with Mediarama. (or Mediarahan if you can manage it) Yukari is a
 good choice, because in this battle she�s more likely than not to use
 Mediarama. Round out your party with your two best physical attackers.

 For this battle it pretty much going to be you and Yukari using Mediarama
 every turn and relying on the other two party members to kill it. If it sets
 up a Tetrakarn barrier then switch to Kali/Chernobog to break the shield.

 A couple of people have reported that if you have Yukari, Mitsuru, and
 Koromaru (in <P3> that is, in <FES> it�s Junpei that learns Fire Break) at
 a high enough level so they know Elemental Break skills (Yukari learns Wind
 Break and Koromaru/Junpei learns Fire Break at level 60, While Mitsuru
 learns Ice Break at Level 61) they will use them to erase Reckoning Dice�s
 protection to that element. If they do this be sure to take the opportunity
 to pound it with -Dyne level Elemental spells. (you could also cast Break
 skills yourself if you have the chance, but most of your turns will probably
 be spent healing)

   Noble Seeker x 3

 -Arcana: Hermit
 -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind
 -Recommended Level: 67

 For this battle you want a Persona that doesn�t have any elemental
 weaknesses. If you�ve maxed out the Strength Social Link you can use
 Siegfried, as he doesn�t have any elemental weaknesses along with some
 pretty wicked physical attacks which makes him the best Persona for this
 battle. If you can�t use Siegfried then any Persona that doesn�t have any
 elemental weaknesses like Gabriel or Daisoujou will do.

 In keeping with the �no elemental weaknesses� theme for this battle you want
 to have both Ken and Koromaru in your party. Every other character has some
 form of weakness to elemental magic, but it can�t be helped.

 They mostly attack with single target -Dyne level elemental spells, although
 they will use the multi-target variations of these spells occasionally. If
 they manage to hit someone�s weakness they will follow it up with a Vorpal
 Blade. Since there should be three party members without any elemental
 weaknesses nor do they specifically target these weaknesses this shouldn�t be
 too much of a factor as you beat them down with physical attacks.

   Carnal Snake x 3

 -Arcana: Lovers
 -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Fire/Elec/Wind
 -Recommended Level: 69

 You want a Persona that nullifies Darkness for this battle, and a resistance
 (not Null/Repel/Drain) to Fire couldn�t hurt either. Succubus is probably the
 best choice for this battle.

 Bringing along Koromaru is recommended, more for his immunity to Darkness
 than his fire protection. Along with Koromaru you should bring in a healer
 and your best physical attacker. I wouldn�t recommend using Mitsuru or Ken
 because of their weaknesses.

 They will immediately use Fire Break to erase the protection of anyone who
 Nullifies/Repels/Drains Fire, and they will recast it when it wears off. This
 won�t effect a resistance to Fire. They mostly bombard you with Agidyne and
 Maragidyne, but they also like to hit you with Mudoon. Watch out though,
 because they do use Tetrakarn, and can use super-powered versions of Life
 Drain (which instead of sucking up a measly 35 HP siphons off around 200 HP)
 and Spirit Drain. (which takes off about 150 SP)

___________________________________Floor 236___________________________________

   World Balance

 -Arcana: Justice
 -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce
 -Recommended Level: 71

 This is definitely my least favorite battle in the entire game.

 For this battle a Persona that protects against both Light and Darkness and
 has no elemental weaknesses is required. If your Sun Social Link is maxed out
 and you make a Horus it will learn Repel Dark and naturally nullifies Light.
 It also has no elemental weaknesses, which makes it my only suggestion for
 this battle.

 This battle starts out alright, only using single or multi-target -Dyne level
 elemental spells. When you knock off about half of it�s HP however it starts
 getting nasty. It uses either Mahamaon or Mamudoon every turn or it will
 sometimes throw in a Megidola or a Megidolaon. When it only has a fraction of
 HP left it will actually start targeting your character�s elemental
 weaknesses with elemental spells, and then follow up with Megidolaon for a
 lethal one-two punch. If nobody (alive) has any elemental weaknesses, then it
 will merely content itself with casting Megidolaon.

 As you can see, trying to keep your party alive through this fight is
 incredibly difficult, as even if they make it through all those Mahamaons and
 Mamudoons unharmed they will still have to deal with that elemental
 spell/Megidolaon combo. Ken and Koromaru have the best chance of making it
 through to the end, and they don�t have any elemental weaknesses to exploit
 either. Try to keep your allies alive as best you can because their help is
 invaluable in that last little push to get rid of it before it slaughters you
 with Megidolaons.

 Mullet2000 has informed me that if you use a Magic Mirror or cast Makarakarn
 then World Balance will do nothing except casting Megidolaon over and over.
 This is actually beneficial during the second half of the battle as you don�t
 have to worry about half your party getting killed with Mahamaon/Mamudoon or
 that elemental spell/Megidolaon combo. With Mediarahan along with Marakukaja
 and/or Tarunda you should be able to keep ahead of it while your allies kill
 it with elemental attacks.

___________________________________Floor 244___________________________________

   Fierce Cyclops x 3

 -Arcana: Hanged Man
 -Null: Elec/Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Strike/Fire
 -Recommended Level: 72

 Considering what a pain the previous couple of guardians were this is almost
 a restful battle. They don�t use Megidolaon or Mamudoon, just physical
 attacks like Power Charged Primal Force and Vorpal Blade with the occasional
 Mazionga for spice. They can use Last Resort when their HP gets low, but
 that�s about the only thing special about them.

 The only way to damage these guys are with Piercing, Ice, or Wind attacks,
 everything else just causes too little damage to be effective. Give the
 Protagonist a spear and either the Chernobog (which nullifies their Vorpal
 Blade) or Seiten Taisei (which nullifies their Primal Force, and he learns
 the Spear Master skill as well) Personae. Using Mitsuru and Ken here is
 highly recommended, although bringing in Yukari or Aigis is a little risky
 because of their tendency to use Mazionga.

 As long as you have a dedicated healer you should be able to survive what
 they can throw at you. If one or more them uses Power Charge you might want
 to consider setting up a Tetrakarn shield or use an Attack Mirror to protect
 yourself. Make sure you set the other characters to Assign Target so they
 concentrate on a single enemy, this helps to thin their ranks and to
 discourage them using multiple Last Resorts against you.

___________________________________Floor 252___________________________________

   Jotun of Grief

 -Arcana: Hanged Man
 -Drain: all except Pierce/Almighty
 -Recommended Level: 73

 As you can see, the only way to damage this bondage freak is with piercing
 attacks. This makes a party of Aigis, Ken and Yukari the most logical choice
 for this battle. Mitsuru learns Ice Break and Koromaru (in <P3>) or Junpei
 (in <FES>) learns Fire Break, so they can work here if one the above is too
 low a level to be effective. Do be ready with some Dis-Rages or have some
 Rings of Serenity equipped if you do bring Mitsuru or Koromaru/Junpei,
 however, so they won�t undo all your work if they become enraged. Make sure
 to have the Protagonist wield a spear or bow as well.

 He loves to try enrage you with Infuriate and Stagnant Air. To protect
 yourself you will need a Persona with the Null Rage skill or a Ring of
 Serenity. In <P3> you can use just Uriel as your Persona as he comes with
 Null Rage. In <FES> however Uriel�s skills have changed and he doesn�t have
 Null Rage. The only Persona in <FES> that has Null Rage is Oumitsunu, and
 then only if you level him up first. A better Idea is to have everyone equip
 a Ring of Serenity (Heart Item from Fortuna) to prevent anybody from becoming
 enraged. Still, it might be worth it to let Ken or Aigis become Enraged, as
 it will increase their damage output by quite a bit. If you bring Mitsuru or
 Koromaru with you make sure they are wearing a Ring of Serenity.

 He does use Primal Force and Megidolaon, so be sure to keep any enraged
 characters at max HP. As long as you can keep the Protagonist from becoming
 enraged you shouldn�t have too many problems. When you get him down to a
 sliver of health left, however, he starts using Mind Charge then Megidolaon,
 so try to finish him off before he can get it off.

                          ============================
=========================|Elizabeth�s Requests [006.2]|========================
                          ============================

 On April 30th you will receive a call from Elizabeth asking you to come and
 see her in the Velvet Room. The next time you go to the Velvet Room you will
 be able to take requests from Elizabeth. These requests are mini fetch-quests
 that require you to bring her a specific item (Or in some cases, a Persona)
 in exchange for a reward.

-Note: Enemies will only drop request items if the request is open.
       Furthermore, enemies that have normal item drops (like, for
       example, the golden shadows) will never drop their normal items
       while a request is open. 

 You can have up to three requests open at one time. If for any reason you
 want to do a different request you will have to cancel one of your open
 requests. If you cancel a request you will have to pay some Yen in a fine,
 but you will be able to go back and reopen the request later if you want.

 This section will list the requests along with when they are made available,
 when its deadline is, (if applicable) where you can find the object of the
 request and how to get it, and what the reward for completing the request is.

-WARNING: For some reason the deadlines in <FES> have been moved up one day.
          So instead of requests being due on the day before the full moon
          like they were in <P3> the deadline is two days before the full
          moon. Be aware of that as you schedule your time.

                                  -+-+-+-+-+-

     should drop a Beetle Shell. Use wind on them to make them die quicker.
     Unfortunately, Grave Beetles can sometimes be hard to find. Remember that
     Grave Beetles attack alone, so when climbing Tartarus look for the tiny
     shadows and those should lead to a Grave Beetle battle.

 -22: Create Vetala with Maragi
       -Available: Complete Request #15
      Pyro Jack comes with Maragi, and if you fuse it with Chimera you get a
      Vetala. I�ve noticed that Vetala can be a bit stubborn about inheriting
      elemental magic, so it may take a few tries until you get a Vetala with
      Maragi. (Remember that you can cancel out of a fusion if you don�t get
      the skills you want.)

      fuse him with a Yamatono Orochi to get an Orthrus.

       -Available: Complete Request #43
      To make an Alice you need to do a Cross Spread fusion with Lilim, Pixie,
      Nata Taishi, and Narcissus. Unfortunately, none of these Personae have
      Megido, and getting Megido on one of them is a royal pain. The easiest
      way to do this is to take Decarabia (which learns Megido naturally) and
      fuse it with a Principality (in <P3>) or an Oberon (in <FES>) to get a
      Nata Taishi. (He doesn�t seem to want to inherit Megido, but keep at it
      and he�ll come around eventually) Now do a Cross Spread fusion with that
      Nata Taishi, Pixie, Lilim, and Narcissus and after two hours of
      canceling out of the fusion result screen you�ll have an Alice with
      Megido.

 -51: Create Lilith with Mabufudyne
       -Available: Complete Request #48
      You can create Lilith with a Cross Spread fusion of Lilim, Vetala,
      Incubus, and Succubus. Level up a Gabriel until she is level 64, at
      which point she learns Mabufudyne. (This is in <P3>, In <FES> Gabriel�s
      higher base level means that she doesn�t learn Mabufudyne until level
      71) Next fuse Gabriel with Samael (in <P3>) or an Ara Mitama (in <FES>
      to get a Succubus with Mabufudyne. Fuse this Succubus with Lilim,
      Vetala, and Incubus to get a Lilith with Mabufudyne. I should note that
      both Succubus and Lilith can be pretty stubborn about inheriting
      Mabufudyne, so it may take a while to do this.

 -52: Create Loki (63+)
       -Available: Complete Request #51
      *Whew* Finally a Persona request that doesn�t require that you to spend
      an hour messing around with the fusion screen. Unfortunately you can�t
      just depend on your S.Links to bring him up to the required level (in
      <P3> at least) so you�ll be forced to grind with him. You can make this
      a lot easier by Putting Growth 3 on Loki. In <P3> this is as simple as
      getting a Daisoujou, which learns Growth 3 naturally, and fusing this
      Daisoujou in a Triangle Spread fusion with Ubellurus and Atropos to get
      Loki. With a Growth 3 enhanced Loki it shouldn�t take you too long to
      level him up. (Especially if you take him into Monad) Thanks to the
      boost in his base level in <FES> fusing Growth 3 is unnecessary as he
      can reach level 63 with just the experience bonus he gets from a maxed
      Fool Social Link. (In <FES> you can fuse a Loki with Yaksini, Ragnda,
      and Titania)

 -53: Retrieve 1 Bloody Button
       -Available: January 1st
      The button that Elizabeth wants is currently in the possession of
      The Reaper, who you�ve no doubt run into during you travels through
      Tartarus. Finding The Reaper is pretty simple - just do nothing. More
      specifically, you need to spend around 10-15 minutes on any one level of
      Tartarus and he�ll show up and try to kill you. You can speed up its
      appearance by selecting Cursed cards during Shuffle Time after a battle.
       -Reward: 5,000,000 Yen

--------------------------------------Boss-------------------------------------
   The Reaper

 -Arcana: Death
 -Null: Light/Dark, Strong: Slash/Strike/Pierce/Fire/Ice/Elec/Wind
 -Recommended Level: 80

 Unless you�re after the button for Elizabeth�s request you should not even
 bother with this guy and escape while you can. The Reaper is a nasty
 opponent, he can use can use the all target -Dyne level skills for all four
 elements along with Light and Darkness attacks as well. Not only that, but
 his attacks can do over 700 HP worth of damage, so it will be difficult even
 surviving against him, let alone beating this guy.

 I would recommend the Horus Persona here because it is immune to Light and
 Darkness (when leveled up) and has Mediarahan. (Its lack of elemental
 weaknesses is also a plus) As long as you�re strong enough to not get killed
 in one hit you should be able keep your head above water with Mediarahan.
 Thankfully The Reaper doesn�t have an overwhelming amount of HP so you should
 be able to concentrate on keeping everyone alive while your allies kill him.

 Or, you could just do an Armageddon combination (Lucifer/Helel + Satan) to
 wipe it out in one hit. It�s your call.

||||||||||||||||||||||||Frequently Asked Questions [007]|||||||||||||||||||||||
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������

-Q: What does FES stand for?
 A: Festival.

-Q: When should I go to Tartarus?
 A: Whenever you want. There�s no penalty or reward for going practically
    every other day or just waiting for the night before a Full Moon for one
    huge grind-fest. I would advise against going to Tartarus more than twice
    a week, though, as evenings are the best times to raise your Charm,
    Courage, and Academics.

-Q: What�s up with those Gold Shadows? Every time I try to fight one they run
    away!
 A: Annoying aren�t they? If those Gold shadows spot you they will run away,
    and if you try to corner them they will simply disappear, and even if you
    do manage to get into battle there�s a chance that they will escape right
    off the bat. You have to approach from directly behind them or they�ll
    spot you. When you finally manage to encounter one you still have to fight
    the damn thing. They will nullify all elemental magic, and have a weakness
    to one type of physical damage. (Which type they are weak to is random and
    changes every time you encounter one of these guys) I would recommend
    having a party where you will be able to use all three Physical attack
    types (So have Yukari/Aigis/Ken in the first slot, Akihiko/Shinjiro in the
    second, and Mitsuru/Junpei in the final slot) and make sure that when you
    get into battle you set your allies� Tactics to �Conserve SP� to keep them
    from using magic against them. With this setup it�s just a matter of
    finding their weakness before they flee.

-Q: What is Monad? How do I get to it?
 A: Monad is a ten level mini-dungeon where you can find the strongest shadows
    (and therefore the most exp. when you beat them) and best equipment in the
    game. To unlock Monad in <P3> you simply have to make it Floor 254 of
    Tatarus. (In other words the highest you can get to before January 31st)
    In <FES>, however, you not only have to make it to Floor 254 but also
    complete Elizabeth�s Request #53. (Which means beating the Reaper... Ugh.)
    Thankfully in <FES> Monad will be also unlocked if you start a new cycle.
    (No such luck in <P3> though)

-Q: That Girl at the Shrine wants �something fizzy,� but I can�t figure out
    what she wants!
 A: That girl is looking for a Mad Bull drink, which is sold at the vending
    machines in the Dorms. This is a bit annoying since entering the Dorms
    advances time to the Evening, so you�ll either need to have the foresight
    to get a Mad Bull beforehand or waste a day in getting her a Mad Bull.

-Q: I just fused a Persona and it has this big red heart next to its name.
    What does it mean when that happens?
 A: When you fuse certain Personae there�s a chance (about one-third, I
    believe) that it will have �something within itself� (as Igor puts it)
    signified by that heart icon on their status screen. When you level up
    this persona enough to learn all their skills you will get a message that
    the Persona want to give you an item, accept the item and it will give you
    the item. (Note that if the Persona gets enough experience from their
    S.Link to learn all their skills at once they won�t give you their Heart
    Item right there, but rather when the next time they level up.)

-Q: That Dying Young Man at the Shrine keeps asking for his Red Fountain Pen,
    but I have no idea where to look for it!
 A: Yeah, establishing an S.Link with the Dying Young Man at the Naganaki
    Shrine is rather annoying, not only because the solution is so obscure but
    also because it requires a specific series of events to happen beforehand.
    First you have to talk to the Dying Young Man and have him tell you about
    his pen. Next you have to wait until Koromaru Joins SEES on August 8th.
    Talk to Koromaru in the Dorms and if the Dying Man has told you about his
    pen there will be an option to check under Koromaru�s paw, do so and
    you�ll find the Red Fountain Pen. (Why he�s got it I have no idea) Take
    the Pen to the Dying Young Man and you�ll be able to establish the Sun
    S.Link.

-Q: Gah! I�ve been going out with a girl for a while now and her Social Link
    hasn�t ranked up at all! What�s going on?
 A: Social Links with female classmates simply take longer to rank up than
    other Social Links. It can sometimes take up to five dates before the
    Social Link ranks up. For this you always want to have a Persona of the
    same Arcana as the Social Link, and when you go out with them on a
    Sunday/Holiday always be sure to give them a gift.

-Q: Is there anything special about Orpheus? Is it all right to Fuse/Dismiss
    him?
 A: Strictly speaking, yes. There are a few Personae that require an Orpheus
    in their fusion recipes. (namely Susano-o and Messiah) However, these
    Personae won�t become available until very late in the game and you can
    always just summon a fresh Orpheus from the Persona Compendium when it�s
    time for the fusion. The Orpheus that you start the game with has no
    special properties and can be fused/dismissed at your discretion. I would
    recommend, however, that you leave Orpheus alone at least until the
    Persona Compendium becomes available on May 10th, simply because Orpheus
    is a part of the Cadenza combination, which is the best way to heal your
    party in the first part of the game before Media spells become available
    and summoning it from the compendium is the only viable way to get a
    replacement.

-Q: I got the highest score on an exam and when I talked to Mitsuru in the
    evening she wouldn�t give me my Card Set! What�s going on?
 A: Mitsuru will only give you a Card Set if you talk to her in the halls of
    Gekkoukan High during the After School period. She won�t give it to you if
    you talk to her during the evening in the Dorm.

-Q: Will I need the original Persona 3 to play FES?
 A: No. FES is a standalone game and doesn�t require the original P3 game in
    any way. This confusion seems to have arisen from the Japanese release of
    FES which had an �Append� version that required the original P3 Disk to
    play. The version of FES released in North America is the full version.

 -Q: <P3> or <FES>?
  A: Although they�re both fantastic games and there are few aspects of <P3>
     that I preferred over <FES> the extra Personae, improved Journey, and
     The addition of The Answer makes <FES> the superior Persona 3 experience
     by far.

 -Q: OMG Mara? LOL!
  A: Yes, Mara. Shut up.
