Kingdom 1: Mission Walkthroughs

Welcome, Phantom Thieves! This section provides detailed, actionable walkthroughs for every mission in Kingdom 1 of Persona 5 Tactica. We'll cover optimal strategies, enemy placements, item locations, and how to achieve those coveted "Perfect" ratings. Remember to utilize your One More opportunities and set up Triple Threat attacks for maximum efficiency!

Mission 1: Quietly Storming the Castle

Objective: Reach the designated extraction point without being detected by the patrolling Shadows.

Recommended Party:

• Joker: Versatile for ranged attacks and Persona skills.
• Morgana: Essential for his movement and healing capabilities.
• Erina: Her unique ability to move and attack multiple times is invaluable for stealth.

Strategy Overview:

This mission emphasizes stealth. Avoid direct confrontation as much as possible. Utilize cover and Erina's unique movement to bypass enemy sightlines. The map is relatively linear, but careful timing is crucial.

Walkthrough Steps:

1. Initial Deployment:
   • Position Joker behind the first set of crates to the left.
   • Place Morgana behind the larger pillar directly ahead.
   • Deploy Erina behind the small wall to the right.
2. First Patrol Route:
   • Observe the first patrolling Legionnaire. It moves in a clockwise pattern around the central platform.
   • When the Legionnaire is facing away from your position (moving towards the right side of the map), use Erina to move along the right wall, staying behind cover. Target the "Small Chest" located near the second set of crates on the right to obtain a Revival Bead.
   • Have Joker use his gun to perform a stealth attack on the Legionnaire's back when it's furthest from your position, knocking it down. This will grant a "One More."
   • Use Morgana to follow Erina, staying close to the right wall.
3. Navigating the Central Area:
   • A second Legionnaire patrols the upper-left section. Wait for it to move away from the central path.
   • Use Erina's movement ability to quickly cross the central open area and take cover behind the large statue.
   • Have Joker follow, using the same path.
   • Morgana should use his "Garu" skill to push the second Legionnaire into a corner, allowing you to bypass it without engaging directly.
4. Final Stretch & Extraction:
   • The final section has a stationary Legionnaire guarding the extraction point.
   • From behind the statue, use Joker's "Eiha" to inflict Curse on the stationary Legionnaire, causing it to flinch and turn away.
   • While it's distracted, move Erina and Morgana to the extraction zone.
   • Joker should follow immediately after.
   • Important: There's a hidden "Large Chest" behind the last pillar on the left, just before the extraction point. Have Morgana grab this to acquire a "Healing Salve" before moving to the extraction zone.

Tips for a Perfect Rating:

• No Detections: The primary goal for a perfect rating is to avoid being spotted. Always check enemy sightlines before moving.
• Efficient Movement: Plan your moves to minimize wasted turns. Erina's ability to move twice is key.
• Utilize Cover: Staying behind cover reduces the chance of being detected and provides defensive bonuses if combat is unavoidable.
• Stealth Knockdowns: Back attacks with guns are excellent for knocking down enemies and gaining "One More" without initiating full combat.

Mission 2: The Royal Interrogation

Objective: Defeat all enemies within 5 turns.

Recommended Party:

• Joker: High damage output and versatile Persona skills.
• Skull (Ryuji): Excellent for area-of-effect (AoE) damage and knocking down multiple enemies.
• Queen (Makoto): Strong physical attacks and healing capabilities.

Strategy Overview:

This mission is a straightforward combat encounter with a turn limit. Focus on setting up Triple Threat attacks and exploiting enemy weaknesses to clear the field quickly. The map features several elevated platforms that can be used for tactical advantage.

Walkthrough Steps:

1. Opening Moves (Turn 1):
   • Position Skull on the elevated platform to the left. Use his "Zio" skill to hit the two Legionnaires clustered together, knocking them down.
   • Have Queen move to the central platform. Use her "Freila" skill on the heavily armored Guard Shadow, inflicting a critical hit.
   • Joker should move to the right elevated platform. Use his gun to target one of the downed Legionnaires, triggering a "One More."
   • Initiate a Triple Threat attack using Skull, Queen, and Joker on the group of downed enemies. This should clear a significant portion of the initial wave.
2. Mid-Battle Control (Turn 2-3):
   • More Legionnaires and a couple of Bicorns will spawn from the far end of the map.
   • Focus fire on the Bicorns first, as their charge attacks can be disruptive. Skull's "Zionga" is effective here.
   • Use Queen's "Mediarama" if any party members have taken significant damage.
   • Look for opportunities to knock down enemies and set up additional Triple Threat attacks. Remember that knocking an enemy into another will also knock them down.
   • A "Power Incense" can be found in a breakable crate on the lower-right section of the map. Have Queen or Joker grab it if they have a spare action.
3. Finishing Blows (Turn 4-5):
   • By this point, only a few scattered enemies should remain.
   • Prioritize any remaining Bicorns.
   • Use Joker's strongest Persona skills (e.g., "Megidola") to finish off any high-HP targets.
   • Ensure all enemies are defeated before the end of Turn 5.

Tips for a Perfect Rating:

• Maximize Triple Threats: Aim for at least two Triple Threat attacks per mission to deal massive damage and clear enemies efficiently.
• Exploit Weaknesses: Always target enemy weaknesses to gain "One More" and extend your turn.
• AoE Skills: Skills like Skull's "Zio" and "Zionga" are invaluable for hitting multiple enemies and setting up knockdowns.
• Positioning: Use the elevated platforms to your advantage for better attack angles and to avoid being surrounded.
