On my way to work today, I ran into these old ladies carrying some heavy luggage. Three of them in fact. So I was offering to help carry their things, but then my back made this sound that it shouldn’t make…”

The English name for that particular phenomenon can be abbreviated to ‘PVS’… would anyone care to tell me what that stands for?”

If you’re anxiously waiting for someone to contact you, your brain will apparently trick you. This is an affliction that can only affect a modern society, where being connected 24/7 is commonplace.”

Nowadays people complain if you don’t reply to a text you just saw. Kind of obnoxious, if you ask me.”

Instead, I wound up using Bugs for almost the entire first half of the dungeon. Bugs can singlehandedly deal with most of the enemies here.

This is because if you knock down Arahabaki and do not immediately follow up with a kill, it will cast Makarakarn on itself, reflecting the next magic attack to hit it.

That’s what happened to Joker here, and why I used Kougaon instead of Psiodyne, as Psiodyne would have been a game over.

Most of the chests here contain Physical or Magic Ointment, which provide Tetrakarn and Makarakarn for physical and magic reflects, respectively.

This is that dungeon I mentioned earlier that was reworked for Royal because it was the single most hated thing in the game.

If at any stage of this process you got caught or fucked up, you got a security level increase and all the doors would lock until you fought an encounter.

I actually like the way this robot is written, because it amuses the shit out of me that there’s a robot who does nothing all day but be stressed and scream about his boss’s elemental weaknesses.

I should mention that in the base game, these robots had access to third-tier spells of their element. That was removed for Royal.

This means that your party will automatically use a physical attack next turn and die to the reflect.

Do her glasses magically morph into the goggles like a magical girl? Is she wearing them underneath? Does her UFO have a glasses storage bin specifically for this kind of situation?

> # New Trashsona: Mothman
> 
> ## Origin: West Virginia
> 
> ## First Appearance: Devil Summoner
> 
> > Creature supposedly seen by a number of people in West Virginia in the 1960s. Conspiracy theorists at the time believed that Mothman was a bio-weapon that lived in an abandoned World War 2-era munitions plant near Point Pleasant. In reality, Mothman was likely a sandhill crane (a bird not native to West Virginia) that had been knocked off its migration route.

Mothman, by the way, is very good for using the Greatest Weapon on as he is weak to guns.

Turns out I suck at the whole creation thing. You have any idea how hard it is to throw out a ten-foot tall elephant demon once you’ve made it?

> > Demon in Buddhist mythology who is essentially the Buddhist equivalent of Lucifer. Considered to be evil itself, they control people through lust and their fear of death. Is considered the ultimate obstacle to achieving nirvana. Penis imagery comes from a Sri Lankan story in which Mara tempts the Buddha with their daughters.

> # Returning Persona: Baal
> 
> ## Origin: Syria
> 
> ## First Appearance: Megami Tensei I
> 
> > Baal is a Semitic word meaning “lord” or “master”, and does not refer to a single entity. The portrayal of Baal in the Megami Tensei games is actually a Canaanite god called Hadad, who was associated with rain, agriculture, and fertility.

Ayamur is his signature skill - it’s a single target physical attack that hits three times and has a 95% hit rate.. which is better than a lot of similar skills.

Orange airlocks are unlocked at specific switches (which still function as the ordinary alpha/omega switches) and stay unlocked even if their letter is turned off.

> # New Persona: Mithras

> > Roman sun god about whom little is known. His worshippers, known as Mithraites, were persecuted by the early Christians and very few written records about the religion remain. Believed to have been born out of a rock and is often portrayed slaying a bull. Worship of Mithras was popular in the Roman army.

Despite the name, One-Shot Kill is merely a high damage gun skill, and Melchizedek is not weak to gun damage, nor did I have a baton pass active.

These are basically Persona 5’s version of those one-way doors you see in the mainline SMT games and Persona 1.

Actually, the guide author didn’t. Have I mentioned that I reported them to GameFAQs for plagiarism and was told it’s perfectly acceptable to steal entire charts from a Japanese guide without credit? They only seem to give a shit if there’s an actual copyright issue.

In order to get it, you have to be Rank 8 and have no extra points with Hifumi beyond those you got from the Rank 8 event, unless that was changed in Royal.

[You can see that here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXNX1kMhR84). You know what? I’ll download the video and take screenshots too.

There’s a second one on 10/10 that requires you to be Rank 9, on the romance route, read the “Theme Park Escort” book to unlock Destinyland, and to have zero extra points with Hifumi. This one’s also on Youtube: [you can see it here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSaGydREGYo). The guide doesn’t even acknowledge that this scene exists.

I’ll have to make a minor schedule change to accomodate this: we’ll be doing Sojiro’s confidant on the night we’d normally do her Rank 10, because he has no optional events.
