August

Persona 5 Royal guide · Summer vacation, beach trip, and Futaba's Palace

August spans the summer vacation period, dedicated primarily to clearing Futaba Sakura's Palace (Pyramid of Wrath) and awaiting her awakening. With no school sessions throughout the month, players have full daytime and evening freedom to secure the treasure route, send the calling card, and advance Confidants. The month concludes with a long stretch of story events leading up to the Phantom Thieves' trip to the beach.

Enemies
