  1. Who tf wrote this guide. “Go through the vent at D then proceed to the lower floor.” It’s ON the lower floor. You can only go UP.

  2. Where can I get 10 thousand coins. I beat the bet race but I used the coins to get items off the counter then went to the Areana. But now I’m stuck at 9,390 cause I was able to find some. I need 1 thousand left to get to do the Areana is there any way to get more?

    • I suggest you to try this method: if u want more money in game, when u go in mementos, assure to have 2-3 request to do (prolly at higher area through mementos), u need only a strong persona that u can grow with gallow + skill add. U need a high luck persona with confuse boost + punpilea (the move that have higer chance to confuse one foe), then u go to beat the boss request target (assure to save in the break area nearbody), dont kill the boss foe sudden, u only need to confuse him with ur high luck persona with those skill that i said before, wait foe throw money (10 – 200k per time u can earn in that mood). Try this things after futaba palace, u can ear 1M yen in less than 1h in game, sure only with boss in mementos remember!

  3. Hmm i can see why there’s not a really detailed walk through here most of it is just luck with the dice then follow the map

  4. does finishing her palace early fast forward to the story on the 20th persona 4 style or does it let you play out the rest of the days till the 20th

    • It is in front of the big rolling slots on the floor where the shadow forcefully fought you, its just there a small walk near the entrance of the slot area

    • All of their guides are terrible, they probably just wana use this garbage to get hits as its the only “guide” available
