7/27 - 7/31

July 24th: Begin as Joker in Yongen-Jaya. Head to Leblanc. You can explore the area but only interact with a vending machine. Meet Ryuji in Shibuya. After cutscenes, you'll be prompted to name Joker. Proceed through the config menu (settings, difficulty) and go to sleep.

July 25th: You have control. Interact with TV, Sojiro, and Futaba. The supermarket is open. Your goal is to meet Ryuji in Shibuya.

First Dungeon Battle: After meeting Ryuji, you'll enter your first real battle, serving as a tutorial. Combat involves normal attacks, guns, and Personas against swarms of shadows. Use Persona/gun abilities to stop time. Be aware of enemy attack patterns: Shield enemies avoid frontal attacks, Pixies use Zio and Dia. Pixies are weak to Gun and Curse; use All-out attacks. After the tutorial, follow instructions to retreat.

Trash Dump Area: You'll arrive in a trash dump. Access the camp menu and find your way out. Review the System tutorial menu, especially action and battle segments, for Joker's combos. Practice combos as there are no enemies. Use the touchpad map to navigate.

First Chests and Battles: Encounter a black box, triggering a battle. Defeat the enemies for money and EXP. Climb stairs and follow the path to another scene and battle. Backtrack to a fork to find a caged cube (similar to Mementos pick-ups). Follow the path and jump up to a higher ledge (indicated by a yellow arrow on the map) to find a chest containing the Breath Sash. Continue until the double jump tutorial. Use double jump to explore a grey map section. On a ledge, find a chest with HP incense (use from the item menu to increase stats).

Further Battles and Persona Acquisition: Continue until the next event marker for a Gun tutorial battle. Proceed to fight enemies including Pyro Jacks (use Agi, inflict burn). Jump up ledges and proceed to another tutorial fight involving special attacks while hiding. Phantom jump to ledges and move to the next area. Defeat a final group of normal enemies to unlock Persona drops from revealed shadows.

Boss Fight - Bicorn: Head to the exit for a boss fight against Bicorn. Review the tutorial section for new mechanics. Bicorn is a single-phase boss. Use lightning attacks until it's stunned, then use an All-out attack. If SP is low, use Pixie's combo (Squarex3+Triangle) for free lightning damage. Bicorn's signature move is Lunge. After defeating Bicorn, exit and watch the scenes.

End of Day: Watch the scenes. When you regain control, speak to Futaba to end the day.

July 26th: After cutscenes, your objective is to collect information on Alice by eavesdropping.
