January

Persona 3 Reload guide · The final month of school and the preparation for the ultimate battle

January is the final stretch of the school year following your decision on December 31 to fight Nyx. You must use these last weeks to max out any remaining Social Links, complete final Tartarus explorations, and prepare the party's gear and personas for the ultimate confrontation. The entire story culminates on the night of January 31, which is the final day to operate.

Tips

Fuse the ultimate persona, Orpheus Telos, only after maxing out all Social Links across the entire playthrough.
Do not leave the final climb of Tartarus to the very last evening if you need to buy supplies or fuse personas beforehand, as town shops are closed once you enter Tartarus on January 31.
