At what point do you even unlock the compendium and/or ability to use the QR codes? Granted I don't have as much time to play as I'd like so I'm still inthe first labyrinth...

Maybe the OP should gather all these QR codes and put them into the first post or collect them into an imgur album?

Once you get to floor 3, Elizabeth will call to tell you the velvet room is open for business again.

I don't have Pain-Eater yet, but honestly I can't see how it'd be better than Lunar Blessing. Somewhat useful for enemies that attack twice a turn, but still. My solution has been to fuse her a Pyro Jack using Kaguya and Ares to get some good skills on her while maintaining her resistances. Adsorb Fire from Jack and Resist Elec from the Ares Kanji is using (I know he already resists that, it's fusion fodder for later stuff since I have two people weak to it) is pretty nice. I just wish I could have transfered Warrior Title or Lunar Blessing, but you can't have everything I guess.

You can get Pain Eater off of Mokoi, at level 8. The advantage is that you don't have to fish for crits in order to afford the Lunar Blessing, it's just 6 SP. Much more consistent protection, particularly since the dangerous enemies do get two attacks per turn.

I think Lunar Blessing and Runic Shield are skills that can't be inherited, which is a shame.

Okay I'm completely done giving a gently caress about Evil Spirits Club's puzzle aspects. I'm done with the actual dungeon but I wanted to clean up requests before I fought the guardian and Elizabeth gave me a code for the puzzle rooms. Assuming it works the same way as the main dungeon's puzzle, it's not actually possible to go through the rooms in that order, so how do I get her secret message?

It uses (mostly) the same rooms as the plot puzzle, but doesn't work the same way. It's referring to the number of exits in each room. The trick is the final "2" is the room north of 4, not west.

Yosuke will eventually figure out it for you if you wander around enough. :v: The numbers refer to something else, they're the number of doors in each room.

The first DLC persona purchase from the compendium is free too, right? Is the compendium level-gated?

I fused Kaguya instead of buying from the compenium, so if I could get a free Orpheus Telos right now and use it that would be lovely.

It should be noted that the first purchase is free across the cartridge.

Sharing the game with my brother I learned that when on his file he got Kaguya off the compendium it was no longer free for me.

I've been playing only on Hard. The first boss is kind of tough, but from then on the game is pretty smooth sailing. I've wiped like 20+ times, but 99% of the time that was because I was being arrogant and thought it would be a good idea to keep exploring when 4/5 of my party was knocked out.

I'm only on the second floor of the third labyrinth but so far instant kills are still wrecking shop. I don't think I've killed anything without using them yet (but I have four people with mamudo or mahama or both, two with impure reach, so I'm not really specced to do things differently).

Agathion and Ame-no-Uzume get Hama, and are pretty low level.

I've been playing on Hard myself. It's kind of annoying how long fights can take sometimes (even with instakills) but it's perfectly manageable. I might try Risky if I get around to a P4 playthrough but I wouldn't even try it on P3 because the P3 protagonist is made out of wet toilet paper in comparison to Yu.

a scene somewhere in the third labyrinth, i wanna say third floor, will trigger a request for an evil eye, which you get by killing fate seekers on the fourth floor while they're cursed.

check every dead end, that's usually where scenes happen.

Boy Maze 4 is tedious.

Also don't use Naoto unless you want to suck all the fun out of battle. She's just way, way too good. I took her along for the first floor of the 4th dungeon and every single thing is weak to her insta kills and with inpure touch there's literally no fight. Then it comes to a boss fight and surprise insta-kills don't work and your stuck with this turd of a character who can't do any damage whatsoever and just a waste.

She's a crazy good sweeper and you should have a sub persona with poison for bosses/FOEs. She's probably the best character in the game.

It really depends. Base magic is kinda eeeh, but you can boost it pretty absurdly. That said I don't really have a main magic attacker at the moment. Everyone is debuffs or a mix of physical/magical.
