Trophies/Achievements

Persona 3 Portable offers a comprehensive set of Trophies/Achievements that reward players for experiencing all facets of the game, from story progression to social links, combat mastery, and exploration. This section will guide you through acquiring all of them, ensuring you don't miss any crucial steps during your journey through Tatsumi Port Island and Tartarus.

Story Progression Trophies

These trophies are generally unmissable as they are tied directly to advancing the main narrative. You'll unlock them naturally by playing through the game.

  • The Journey Begins: Awarded after completing the tutorial section and officially starting your life at Gekkoukan High.
  • First Full Moon: Obtained after defeating the Priestess Shadow during the first Full Moon Operation.
  • Summer Break: Unlocked as you progress into the summer vacation period.
  • The Answer: Awarded for completing the main story of Persona 3 Portable. This will be the final story trophy you earn.

Social Link Trophies

Maximizing Social Links is a core component of Persona 3 Portable. These trophies require careful planning and time management. Remember that some Social Links are exclusive to the Male or Female Protagonist.

  • Maxed Out (Arcana Name): There is a trophy for maxing out each of the 20 Social Links (excluding the Fool, Death, and Judgment arcs, which rank up automatically).
    • Strategy: Prioritize Social Links based on your chosen protagonist. For the Male Protagonist, focus on links like Yukari (Lovers), Mitsuru (Empress), and Fuuka (Priestess). For the Female Protagonist, unique links include Ken (Justice), Koromaru (Strength), and Shinjiro (Moon). Consult a detailed Social Link guide to optimize your daily schedule, ensuring you have the necessary Persona of the corresponding Arcana for bonus points during interactions.
    • Key Items/Locations: Remember to carry a Persona of the matching Arcana to gain bonus points. Check the School Gate, Classroom, Iwatodai Strip Mall, and Paulownia Mall for available Social Link characters.
  • All Social Links Maxed: Awarded for completing all available Social Links in a single playthrough. This is one of the most challenging trophies and often requires a New Game+ run to achieve comfortably, especially if you aim for the "Compendium Completionist" trophy as well.

Combat & Tartarus Trophies

These trophies focus on your prowess in battle and your exploration of Tartarus.

  • First Ascent: Reach the first block of Tartarus, The Arqa.
  • Top of Tartarus: Reach the very top floor of Tartarus (Floor 264). This will require consistent grinding and careful resource management throughout the game.
  • Defeated All Guardians: Successfully defeat all Guardian Shadows found on specific floors of Tartarus. These are typically found on floors ending in 0 or 9 (e.g., Floor 10, Floor 19, Floor 25, etc.).
  • Defeated the Reaper: This is a challenging trophy. The Reaper appears if you linger on a Tartarus floor for too long (typically around 5-10 minutes).
    • Strategy: Attempt this in late game (around level 70-80+) when your party is strong and you have powerful Personas. Equip Personas with high resistance to various damage types and strong single-target attacks. Consider using the "Armageddon" fusion spell (requires Lucifer and Satan) for an instant win, but this is a one-time use per battle.
    • Location: Any floor of Tartarus after a prolonged stay.
  • Persona Master: Fuse 100 Personas. This will come naturally if you are actively fusing and creating new Personas.
  • Compendium Completionist: Complete 100% of the Persona Compendium. This is a significant undertaking, requiring multiple playthroughs (New Game+ is highly recommended).
    • Strategy: Maxing all Social Links is crucial as it unlocks the ability to fuse the ultimate Persona of each Arcana. Ensure you register every Persona you fuse or obtain from Shuffle Time. Use Fusion Forecasts to create powerful Personas with desirable skills.
    • Key Item: The Persona Compendium at the Velvet Room.

  • The Ultimate Weapon: Obtain the ultimate weapon for your chosen protagonist.
    • Strategy: These weapons are typically crafted at the Antique Shop (Mayoido Antiques) using rare materials dropped by powerful Shadows in Tartarus, or by fusing specific Personas.
    • Key Items: Various rare materials from Tartarus, specific Personas for fusion.
    • Location: Paulownia Mall (Mayoido Antiques).
  • New Game+ Initiated: Start a New Game+ after completing the game once.
