Obtain Messiah through special Persona fusion (Conception).

Messiah is obtained by fusing Orpheus and Thanatos, the latter of which require several Personas itself to acquire. This step requires a lot of patience as you are going to perform special fusions Alice and Thanatos at least three (3) times.

Persona Required Fusion Materials
Messiah Orpheus + Thanatos
Thanatos Ghoul + Pale Rider + Loa + Samael + Mot + Alice
Alice Lilim + Pixie + Nezha + Narcissus

Level up Messiah just before it hits 98 and register in the Velvet Room book.

Once you obtain Messiah, raise its level just before 98 (just before it yields its Heart Item). Then, register Messiah at the Velvet Room book. This saves you the time of having to level it up again later to the level it yields its Heart Item, allowing you to get all of the best armor in the game faster.
