Recommended Strategies for April
1) Keep a Persona Belonging to the Confidant’s Arcana to Maximize Boosts
Whenever you choose to spend time with your confidants for rank ups and hangouts, make sure you carry a persona in your stock under their Arcana. By doing so, you’ll obtain an additional point for each confidant boost receive when ranking up with them. It is important to have a persona under these Arcana:
Arcana | Recommended Persona |
---|---|
Hierophant Arcana | Agathion |
Lovers Arcana | Berith |
Chariot Arcana | Pixie |
Death Arcana | Mandrake |
2) Charm, Guts, and Proficiency will Rank Up this Month.
For this month, the Protagonist’s Charm, Guts, and Proficiency will be boosted to rank up to level 2. However, it doesn’t mean that Knowledge and Kindness will be left behind. Unlike other social stats, Knowledge has a social stat point requirement. As for Kindness, we just felt short of 2 social stat points.
Guts is a social stat essential in triggering Tae Takemi’s Death Confidant this month and Sadayo Kawakami’s Temperance Confidant next month. To raise Guts, we will watch a movie, read a book, and interact with Tae.
Sadayo Kawami – Temperance Confidant
3) Save Money While Shopping at the Airsoft Shop
You will often visit Munehisa Iwai’s Airsoft Shop in order to sell the treasures you’ve gathered from the metaverse. His shop also sells strong weapons, armor, guns, and accessories that you can use during your thief life activities. We suggest not spending all of your money to buy all of them since you will need some budget in spending time with some of your confidants. If you have extra money to spare prioritize in buying armor for the first month. In terms of accessories, save for at least 4 Chakra Chokers (+10 SP when worn) to increase your SP pool.
4) Stock on Consumable SP Restoring Items
At the start of each week, make sure that you purchase all SP Items available especially when you are about to enter cognitive palaces or explore Mementos. These SP restoring items can only restore +5 SP each but they can be bought at multiple vending machines placed at different locations. These vending machines replenish their supply every Monday so keep that day in mind. It is not a priority to purchase all SP items if you don’t have extra yen to spend.
In this month, you can access three areas where you can buy these SP items in vending machines:
- Yogen-Jaya Blue Public Bathhouse Vending Machine – 4 pieces at 100 yen each
- Shibuya Central Street Arcade White Vending Machine – 2 pieces at 300 yen each
- Shujin Academy Courtyard Blue Vending Machine – 2 pieces at 300 yen each

thanks it was helpful
A lot of the events stated in this guide did not happen even though I followed it exactly, e.g. the chance to read the books or speak to Sojiro after completing the castle. Had to lose 8 hours of game time and follow a separate guide – frustrating.
In April 23rd you can’t do anything after you sent the calling card. Even the ryujin quest is gone though the guide says you can do it at a later date. Wtf I’ve been following this guide for tj past 7 hours. Fuck sakes.
April 23rd correct answer choice 4 all of them
April 19th correct answer choice 3 they’re the same
April 12th the correct answer is choice 3 villains
on 4/22 theres still time to do something after infiltrating the palace, what should i do?
4/21 family diner is not open until May so what do?
u got wrong this is persona 5 u mistake sorry u better start again or u screw they fool u u careful right :persona 5 royal be should there” i have mistake 2 time this is wrong not P5R

Hey are you going to have this guide done before the game releases on tuesday??
If you are referring to our P5R walkthroughs, you can check out the first four months already:
https://samurai-gamers.com/persona-5/p5r-april-walkthrough/
Is this guide going to be fine with a normal difficulty playthrough?
We’ve updated this guide to accommodate easy and normal playthroughs π
Greetings! This is Ersatz from Samurai Gamers. We’ve just updated this Persona 5 game guide article just recently. Hope it is much better from your playing experience.
If there are things that we weren’t able to add, please don’t hesitate to post your comments or feedback in general. Thank you again on behalf of SG!
I have no idea how a starting character would be able to finish the castle in one day. I ran out of SP about a third of the way through, and physical attacks take way too long to be effective. Other than that this guide is very thorough and helpful, though.
Tried this guide but on April 20 only reached halfway before running out of SP. So my calendar days got messup.
I usually use more physical attacks than SP-consuming skills to have an easier time. It should get you at least to finish the infiltration.
I already follow all your instruction but On April 19 when i spent my time with Ryuji in the 3rd choice i choose “do you want to go back?” But I only got 1 point (even i choose the other one i still got 1 point)
This may be due to lacking a persona under his Arcana. Check if you have a persona under Chariot. π
