I really enjoyed the scene (beginning of December) where the team explains how the plan went down to Joker/Sae/Sojiro. And then they immediately follow it up with several minutes of Akechi and Shido jerking each other off while engaging in two separate monologues about their storied relationship.

To be fair, I guess that's totally in-character.

Everyone complains about that scene but I liked it just because it was over the top. IIRC not too soon before that is when the SIU director literally says something along the lines of "Wow, I cannot believe how DIABOLICAL your plans are *evil chuckle*"

Which Persona itemizes into Apt Pupil? Or alternatively, gifts you the skill card? I want to slap it on the Black Frost I made with Charge/One Shot Kill/Miracle Punch.

If I'm reading this very useful website correctly, no persona itemizes to it, but Andras can give it to you in negotiation.

He's only level 10 and shows up in the later stages of Kamoshida's castle, so my guess is not too deep? If all the guys you're fighting are under level 10 then go deeper and vice versa.

The skill card is probably his rare item, but I expect you're friends with Bernie Sun-ders by this point so that should boost your odds.

Recall a Persona with Apt Pupil from the compendium -> Save your game -> Gallows it into your Black Frost -> If it doesn't learn Apt Pupil, reload your save and try again.

I feel like that'll be faster than bumping into shadows, hoping you find an Andra, and then hoping it'll give you the card before you run out of ammo and have to reload.

I tried doing that with the NG+ Persona because I was trying to do a high crit Gun build and it took maybe like 15-20 minutes to get that one skill on him. I also spent like 20 minutes trying to get Charge and Trigger Happy on him, but I never got those on him and I gave up and went to fight the final boss instead. :negative: They're both awful grinds if we're being perfectly honest.

I just did this very same thing myself, and I don't recommend it.

Andras spawn on Floor 6 of Aiyatsubus. I found them to be a pretty rare encounter, and even then, the pack will be just one Andras accompanied by two Succubi. Often times the floor wouldn't have any Andras at all. Then when they did spawn, it took me drat well forever to get the card out of them. They kept chucking extinguish orbs instead.

That said, having the skill card is nice because, you can have Yusuke duplicate it so you won't have to do that slog again or Gallows roulette it when you want to put Apt Pupil on another persona later.

(But I still think Gallows is less a pain in the rear end.)

Or, find Kodama on one of the early floors, and wait for it to summon Andras, which they'll do pretty quickly.

No, not until endgame. I let them Free Action until I hit the bosses w/annoying resistances. It's a ton better than P3 and no one is casting Marin Karin instead of healing Joker.

Would it make you feel better or worse if I told you that the game doesn't actually take control from you after pulling that lever and you can totally smack that enemy in the face to start the fight with neither side getting advantage, or just run away

If there's something I lack the resources to deal with, I just try to hit them with One-Shot Kill or Miracle Punch and shake them down for money or an item. (Or just recruit them if you maxed Sun.) No rules says you have to kill every shadow you encounter. Hell, that's how I dealt with the angels in Kamoshida's palace too.

So do you get any free time after 12/24? Because if not I'm gonna be pissed. I was one book away from the bookworm achievement and had like 3 confidants at rank 9.

He's not as much of a threat if you have a drain/repel/nul ice as your default (i was rolling with Trumpeter, personally) and have Yusuke in and Ann out. With that said, he did kill my friend in one turn with a critical even though said friend was strong vs ice.

It just occurred to me that you can pass the strongest physicals down because physicals are all proportional cost. That's gonna be pretty crazy.

You're effectively limited by only being able to pass down 4 skills at a time, but that's the plan, anyway. I'm hoping to at least get One-Shot Kill and Apt Pupil on there. I could give him Debilitate too, but you'd basically never get to use it with your lowly SP totals in the early game. Do you get to keep anything for NG+ besides money, social stats and the compendium?

You get all your gear, including accessories. So your SP bandages get equipped right away, and your end game weapons and armor are in.

I summoned a sigfried and turbofucked everyone in Kamoshida's place. Sp items mean infinite Dia too so you can do it in one go.
