Elizabeth/Theo's Requests [REQ]

Your go-to guide for Elizabeth and Theodore's Requests in Persona 3 Portable. Learn how to complete every quest, find items, and get the best rewards.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Persona 3 Portable and want to tackle those sidequests from Elizabeth (or Theodore, if you're playing as the female protagonist)? Awesome! These requests are a great way to earn some sweet rewards and really flesh out your gameplay experience. Think of me as your friendly guide through this part of the game. First off, you'll meet Elizabeth in the Velvet Room. If you're playing Portable and chose to have Theodore as your attendant, he'll be the one giving you the requests instead. Don't worry, they're essentially the same thing, just with a different face. When do these start? Well, it depends on which version you're playing: * Persona 3 / FES / Portable: You'll get the first call from Elizabeth around April 30th, right after you return to Iwatodai Dormitory. Head to the Velvet Room, and she'll lay out the first few for you. * Persona 3 Reload: Things are a little quicker here. Elizabeth will be waiting outside the Velvet Room door starting May 10th, making it easier to start accepting requests. Important things to keep in mind: * Request Limits: In most versions (except Reload), you can only have three requests active at a time. Reload lets you take on more, which is pretty handy. * Deadlines: Some requests have strict deadlines, so keep an eye on the calendar! Missing a deadline means you'll have to wait until the next cycle to try again. * Completing Early: You can sometimes complete a request *before* you even accept it. If you happen to have the required item or have met the condition, the request will be marked as done as soon as you back out of the request menu. This is especially true in Reload – you might not even need to formally accept some! * Item Drops: If a request needs you to get an item from a specific Shadow, that Shadow won't drop the item until you've actually accepted the request. Same goes for items you need to get from party members. Let's look at some of the early requests in Persona 3 / FES / Portable: ### Persona 3 / FES / Portable - Early Requests | No. | Quest | Available | Deadline | Details | Reward | Difficulty | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 01 | Retrieve 1 Beetle Shell. | 04/30 | 05/08 | Defeat [Grave Beetles](https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Grave_Beetle "Grave Beetle") on floors 6-15 of the 1st block, [Thebel](https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Thebel_Block "Thebel Block"), to retrieve 1 Beetle Shell. | ¥12,000 | ★★☆☆☆ | | 02 | Retrieve the first old document. | 04/30 | 05/08 | Retrieve Old Document 01 from the top of the 1st block, [Thebel](https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Thebel_Block "Thebel Block"), and return here before the deadline. | [Bead Chain](https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Bead_Chain "Bead Chain") x1 | ★☆☆☆☆ | | 03 | I'd like to sip a [Muscle Drink](https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Muscle_Drink "Muscle Drink"). | 04/30 | - | Have you tried a Muscle Drink?

This request also unlocks request #8. A heads-up for Persona 3 Reload: In Reload, Elizabeth might ask you to accompany her to certain locations as you complete more requests. It's a neat little twist that adds some flavor to the requests! Keep checking back as you progress through the game, and we'll get you through all of Elizabeth's (and Theodore's!) requests. Good luck!
