December

Persona 5 Royal guide · The final confrontation and the path to the true ending

December covers the infiltration and confrontation within Shido's Palace, the end-of-term school exams, and the dive into the Depths of Mementos. Resolving the events at the end of Mementos requires making critical dialogue choices to avoid a bad ending and secure the path toward the third semester. This month represents the final opportunity to complete vanilla Confidants before the timeline shifts into the Royal-exclusive content.

Tips

December 24 features back-to-back dungeon crawling from the Depths of Mementos directly to the Qliphoth World; stock up heavily on SP restoration items and team-revival consumables beforehand.
Caroline stands outside the Velvet Room entrance in the Depths of Mementos and fully restores the party's HP and SP for free whenever spoken to.
