Persona 3 Reload is one of the most exciting releases of 2024 so far, and for a good reason – the remake of this already fantastic game has brought many new fans into the franchise, while pleasing the OGs. In this non-spoilery guide, I’ll be helping you through unlocking all of Persona 3 Reload’s Social Links, which Persona fusions they lead to, when you can work on them, and hopefully it’ll help you prioritize your activities within the game.
Fool
The first Social Link is the Fool, and it’s not something you need to worry about as it unlocks fully throughout the story, with the beginning on the 18th of April. Maxing it out, which you undoubtedly will if you finish the game, will enable you to fuse Susano-o.
Magician
The Magician, which is represented by Kenji Tomochika – the Classmate, unlocks on April 22nd, and it’ll allow you to fuse Futsunushi upon maxing out. Tomochika will be available inside of the classroom on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Priestess
The Priestess, Fuuka Yamagishi, will unlock itself throughout the story, awarding you with Scathach once maxed out. Fuuka is available after school on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. In order to reach requirements for Fuuka’s relationship though, you need to have Fortune Social Link at Rank 1, and Courage stat at Rank 2 – you’ll see why that’s necessary once you start.
Empress
The Empress, Mitsuru Kirijo, unlocks its Social Link on the 21st of November. Maxing it out will enable you to fuse Aliat. She’s available after school on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in the 1F hallway of the school, but for her to even give you the time of the day, you’ll need to reach Rank 6 Academy and do well on your school tests – so study up!
Emperor
The Emperor, Hidetoshi Odagiri, or the Student Council, will have his Social Link available on 27th of April, and will allow you to fuse Odin. He’ll be available for you on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at school.
Hierophant
Hierophant, which is the Old Couple’s Social Link, will be available on the 25th of April. Mitsuko and Bunkichi’s relationship being maxed out will allow you to fuse Kohryu, and they’ll be available to you every day of the week except on Mondays at Iwatodai Mall.
Lovers
Lovers, which is Yukari Takeba, unlocks her social link on the 25th of July, and the Persona you’ll fuse upon completing it is Cybele. Yukari will be available to you on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays inside the classroom, but only if you’ve maxed out the Charm stat in the first place!
Chariot
Chariot, or Kazushi Miyamoto – the Track Team, Social Link will be unlocked on the 23rd of April. Completing the questline will help you unlock Thor, and in order for you to do so, you need to find him on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays or Fridays in your classroom after school.
Justice
Justice, which is Chihiro Fushimi – the Treasurer, will be unlocked after you’ve started the Emperor Social Link and attempted to talk to Chihiro on four different occasions. Completing the Social Link will help you fuse Melchizedek, and she’ll be available to you in the 2F hallway on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Hermit
Hermit, which is Maya from the Online Game, will get unlocked on the 29th of April, once you choose to play an online computer game. Completing this questline will help you fuse Arahabaki, and it’s important to note that Maya’s Social Link will be available on Sundays and days off, not on school days.
Fortune
Fortune, which is Keisuke Hiraga from the Art Club, will become available on the 17th of June. Completing the Social Link will help you fuse Lakshmi, and Hiraga will be happy to talk to you on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Strength
Strength, which is Yuko Nishiwaki – the Team Manager, will get unlocked after you talk to her a couple of times. To have it available in the first place, you need to advance the Chariot Social Link first, and competing Strength will help you fuse Atavaka. Yuko will be available to you on Wednesdays and Saturdays!
Hanged
Hanged, as in Maiko, the Girl at the Shrine, will get unlocked on the 6th of May, and completing the Social Link will help you fuse Attis. Maiko is available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at Naganaki Shrine, but for this relationship to get unlocked in the first place, you have to play your cards right. When you talk to Maiko, you need to choose to buy her the Weird Takoyaki and the Mad Bull drink, and say “of course” when offered the chance to hang out with her.
Death
Death, or Pharos – the Mysterious Boy, will become available throughout the story on the 12th of June with no additional requirements. Completing this Social Link, which you will if you complete the story, will help you fuse Thanatos.
Temperance
Temperance, which is Bebe – the Transfer Student, will become available after you’ve reached Rank 3 with Elderly Couple, and Rank 2 or higher in Academics. He’ll be available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the Home Economics room, and completing the questline will help you fuse Yurlungur.
Devil
Devil, or Tanaka – the Businessman, is one of the evening links available to you on Tuesday and Saturday nights. Completing the Social Link will help you fuse Beelzebub, but to unlock the Link in the first place, you need to meet some requirements first. Rank 4 Hermit is a necessity, and you need to always choose to give him the money when he asks for it. If you select “Tell me more” in the dialogue, he’ll ask you for 20k Yen, followed by two additional 10k Yen payments.
Tower
Tower, or Mutatsu – the Unusual Monk, will be a bit more challenging to unlock. You need to reach Rank 6 Strength to hear about him in the first place, Rank 2 Courage to enter the club he hangs out in, Rank 4 courage to actually talk to him, and you need to be able to deliver all of the bartender’s drink orders. Completing this Social Link will allow you to fuse Chi You, and in order to max out, you can find Mutatsu at the Night Club on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Star
Star, or Mamoru Hayase – the Rival Athlete, will become available on the 2nd of August, and maxing out the relationship will help you fuse Helel. Hayase will be up on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at Iwatodai Mall, but to even speak to him, you’ll need a Rank 4 Courage first.
Moon
Moon, or Nozomi Suemitsu – the Gourmet King, is available to you every day in Paulwonia Mall. He’ll be unlocked as you progress through the Magician Social Link, and completing the relationship will help you fuse Sandalphon. In order to start this relationship, you’ll also need Charm at Rank 2, and to give answers: “Pheromone”, “Coffee”, “Red” and “Hakagure Bowl”. You’ll also need to deliver him the Odd Morsel, which you’ll find in Tartarus.
Sun
Sun, or Akinari Kamiki, the Dying Young Man, will help you fuse Asura after completing the Social Link. He’ll be available to you only on Sundays though, so keep that in mind. Also, in order to begin the Social Link in the first place, you’ll need a Rank 6 Hanged, Rank 4 Academics, and once Koromaru has joined the team, you’ll look for the Fountain Pen under his paw!
Judgment
Judgment, which is the Annihilation Team of the final boss (like I said, no spoilers!), will become available to you on December 31st, should you choose mercy. It will be available for maxing out in Tartarus after that, so no need to worry about anything further!
Aeon
And last but not least, Aeon, which is Aigis, will become available to you on the 8th of January. Maxing out this relationship will help you fuse Metatron. Aigis will want to talk to you every day except Sunday and you can find her in the classroom, but you also won’t have a ton of time to max out this one, so hurry up!
