June

Persona 3 Reload guide · Midterm exams and the Priestess shadow

June brings the first major operation to rescue Fuuka Yamagishi inside Tartarus during the full moon, as well as the unlocking of Tartarus's second block, Arqa. Midterm exam results are posted early in the month, and Fuuka subsequently replaces Mitsuru as the team's battle support navigator. Use this month to push through Arqa, raise social stats, and initiate new school-based Social Links.

Tips

During the full moon boss battle on 6/8, Fuuka will scan weaknesses manually; swap between physical attackers and magic casters depending on whether you are targeting the Empress or Emperor.
Tartarus's second block (Arqa) opens up further following the full moon, so prioritize reaching the border floor before the next full moon deadline.
