  1. 1
    November 21st-23rd: Engage in dialogue, select “The Diet Building” when prompted to discuss the next Palace. The deadline is December 17th. Go to bed.
  2. 2
    November 24th: The keyword for the Palace is “is it a ship?”. Enter the Palace and proceed to the top of the stairs to fight the Guard Dog of Hades, which is weak to ice and resists Nuke. Be cautious of its fire attacks and High Counter.

    After defeating the Cerberus, explore the Palace. Find a Black Kogatana in a chest at a northern dead end.

    On the southern side, find another chest containing Corrupt Gear.

    After talking to everyone, proceed to the Safe Room for a discussion. Exit the Palace and go to bed.
  11. 11

  12. 12
    Head to the School Gate, then sneak to the rooftop to talk to Haru. Retrieve your planted vegetables and plant more (ready December 1st). Hang out with Haru.
  13. 13
    At night, complete the "Power Intuition" challenge. Save beforehand. The third input requires a half circle from front to back, then Right + X (Right, Down-Right, Down, Down-Left, Left, Right + X).
