Learn the fastest method to fuse the Tower Arcana Persona, Eligor, in Persona 3 Portable. This guide details the required personas and fusion steps for level 31.

Alright, so you're looking to fuse Eligor, the Tower Persona, and you want to do it efficiently. This guide is all about getting you to level 31 for that specific fusion, and it's a method I discovered myself. Don't worry about Maniac Mode; this is for the standard playthrough, and honestly, it's pretty straightforward.

The main requirement here is that you're at least level 23, though I personally found level 25 to be the sweet spot when I did this. The whole process breaks down into three main steps. You can tackle steps 1 and 2 on the same day, and step 1 has a few ways you can go about it, but I'll show you what I did.

Just a heads-up, this is version 1.0 of the method. It can definitely be tweaked and improved later on, but this is the first reliable way I found to get it done.

Also, if you're not super keen on leveling up right now, that's totally fine! You don't *need* a Tower Persona to progress. There are plenty of nights later on where you can max out Social Links, and you'll have lots of free time if you don't focus on this fusion right away. I just did it because I wanted to stick to an older guide's recommendation.

Step 1: Gather Your Fusion Fodder

First things first, you need to get your hands on these specific Personas:

• Fortuna (Fortune Arcana, around level 17)
• Alp (Lovers Arcana, around level 6)
• Ares (Chariot Arcana, around level 19)
• Berith (Hierophant Arcana, around level 17 or 19)
• Ara Mitama (Chariot Arcana, around level 7 or 8)

Once you have those, you can perform the following fusions:

• Yamatano-orochi (Moon Arcana, level 26) can be fused using Fortuna + Alp + Ares.
• Eligor (Tower Arcana, level 31) can be fused using Yamatano-orochi + Berith + Ara Mitama.

You can actually fuse Yamatano-orochi right now if you have the components. Its Mabufu skill can be super useful for Step 3, assuming you don't have another Persona with that ice magic. Make sure you have Berith and Ara Mitama either ready to go or in your inventory before you leave Tartarus, so you don't have to backtrack.

Step 2: Equip Your Party with Elemental Magic (Optional but Recommended)

This step is optional, but it'll make Step 3 go a lot smoother and faster. You'll want your party to have Personas equipped that know the 'Ma' versions of the basic elemental spells. Ideally, your party of four should cover all four: Mabufu (Ice), Mazio (Electricity), Maragi (Fire), and Magaru (Wind). If you can't get the 'Ma' versions, even the single-target versions are better than nothing.

Here's a quick rundown of who can have what:

• Mabufu: Yamatano-orochi (the one you just fused) should have it. Mitsuru's Persona also has it, but only if she's level 23 or higher.
• Mazio: Akihiko's Persona naturally has this, and he's a great choice. Archangel (level 13), Take-mikazuchi, and others can also learn it.
• Maragi: Berith can learn this. Nekomata (level 10), Slime (level 13), Pyro Jack, Sati, and others are also options.
• Magaru: Yukari's Persona has this. Power, Narcissus (level 14), Yomotsu Hiko (level 14), Fortuna (level 18), Nigi Mitama (level 16), and others can learn it.

I'm just listing some of the lower-level Personas you can easily acquire for these spells.

Step 3: The Final Push

Once you've completed Step 1 and Step 2, and you're sitting at level 23 or higher, it's time to leave Tartarus. Yep, we're not grinding levels inside anymore. The goal now is to use the Personas and skills you've prepared to make your way through Tartarus efficiently.
