Can You Reach Level 99 in the First Level of Persona 5 Royal? 

Well, I finished it. You can see that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-owGN3aucxRE.html Told ya I'd do it. :)

Kamoshida: Please mercy Joker level 99 with Satanael: there's no mercy

So basically, he's recreating that South Park episode where the characters defeat nothing but boars to level up in World of Warcraft

The 30k alt accounts I made the other day will come in handy.

short answer: Yes. Long answer: yes but dear god why would you do that yourself?

I didn't know that I needed a video of someone torturing himself that bad until he suggested it

I grinded to like level 14 in the first Palace and it took more time than I think I should have invested. This video title is giving me anxiety.

Some clarification is needed I suppose: 1. I have about 3,000 hours in Persona 5. So when people say I shouldn’t do this because it’s not what was intended, I can assure you I’ve played the game enough times to experience the story wholeheartedly. 2. I’m not ACTUALLY suffering in any of these runs! I make things because I enjoy them! You wouldn’t be hurting me with this, I’m actually excited to try it!

UPDATE TEVIN: You need 1.36 MILLION experience to get to level 99. I have a photo of becoming level 99 if you are interested in proof for my numbers. (Yes I called you Kevin in my previous edit lmao)

Jesus, it took me around 120-ish hours to finish vanilla Persona 5. Over two whole playthroughs just spent in the first dungeon sounds painful.

You guys forget that he's doing this without the XP boost that Mishima gives you for some of his Confidant perks.

-Level 99 in first level People who will become evil and require a change of heart: I'm good now

This is the closest thing to torture that youtube will monitze

Why would you inflict this on yourself?

Idk how but I’ve never seen that morgana afro costume. I laughed my ass off 🗿

Kamoshida: “You can’t beat me-“ Joker with his buff ass self(metaphorically, he’s a stick irl) and a level 99 Persona: “ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!”

This video is two months old, so I thought "Oh, he's probably done with the challenge already." Nope. The last "Level 99 in first palace" stream on his twitch was 4 days ago. Talk about commitment...

7:17 "let's make a deal" Me: I am thou, thou art I... Thou hast acquired a new vow. It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity. With the birth of the Fool Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...

Update: the mad lad actually did it. Tevin has made history

That sounds torturous but then I remember Matt from Wii Sports

You need the same amount of experience as beating the reaper (about 72k experience) to go from 98-99 if going by Persona 5 levels. I remember because I chose to be a powerhouse in my last p5 run.

Welcome to "getting to level 100 on Destiny Islands" Persona edition.

*reading the title knowing royal was just released* OH GOD we're already doing this???

"so let's make a deal" I really hoped you would make one of those jokes where you say "You struck a deal with YourbudTevin" I am thou thou art i

Omg, I actually also kind of want to see you beat the game after getting level 99 at that point, like seeing someone beat kamoshida in like 1 hit would be so satisfying, bet you'd fly through most other palaces too.

@YourbudTevin... And what a journey you went on. Can't believe you actually did it!

I'll do it just to do it. Hmm...but I probably shouldn't given the fact that it may or may not take a month or more.

30k likes and Tevin takes on this challenge, for anyone who didn't watch It until the end

in p5 royal can you do a only gun run right when you get the gun, one shot kill (any gun related moves) and all out attack gun version also counts Edit: oh yea I forgot and items remembered after people said it was impossible

I’m gladly subscribed to you, but I’m also very worried and I hope that this isn’t the way you intend to experience the game. Please don’t do anything you don’t want to dude, your content is great and you don’t have to inflict pain upon yourself to gain our respect.

I am thou. Thou art I. Thou hast acquired a new vow. With the birth of the literal Death persona, I have obtained the winds of pain that shall lead to anguish and torture.

UPDATE: as of now, Tevin is level 27. Edit: Thanks Tevin, very cool.

this guy is the hero from the cautios hero anime. you can say he's now ready perfectly

When you're level 1-15 you gain 100% exp, at 16 it's 70% and at 90 it's 33% but it's likely that they are a few others level where exp gain changes like at level 40 you could gain only 50%, which would make the grind longer

I thought I was already subscribed but I wasn’t and now you’re a step closer to the challenge

Usually I ignore it when a video states "oh if I get x-amount of subs I will do it" - pff, see if I care. But I can feel it, deep within my soul that I need this to happen. So here you go, you gained a subscriber

Man, this really reminds me of Veghesther and Ulililia, they used to love breaking games at the earliest opportunity.

Bro NO! As a fellow JRPG veteran I don't want to see you suffer with this man. This challenge is insane. I almost fainted when I saw this video title 😭😭 yoooo it's not worth it dawg 😂😂😂 I'd rather make a fully edited 30 min video talking about why Mitsuo Kubo from Persona 4 is my favorite character than do this shit 😭😭😂

Love ur channel dude

love your vids bro

I’ve actually been wondering the answer to this question for a couple weeks now, and it seems even more painful then what I would have expected

Past Tevin doesn't know

0:39 That pause and the sentence afterwards cracked me, dude ur the best xD

You're channel has grown with this challenge! Congratulations on finally finishing it bud!

if your goal at the start was to get perfect fights without blowing sp/hp you could have gone with Izanami no okami as its "Victory Cry" ability fully restores hp/sp after combat so its an insanely good thing to run if you are grinding

I just speed runned till getting to mementos and just keeped grinding till I was able to challenge the reaper then keeped doing that till I reached lvl 99 and was to reach it by night time so in total 24 hours

Curious about this so I liked and subscribed 😅

I dont give a damn about persona never played but god damn i enjoy your delivery and format im subscribing on the of chance you produce content im intersted in or i play persona

Damn I hope this actually happens I’m bored in quarantine and wanna see this

I wish I could play Royal, I'm so bored I'm currently doing my 11th playthrough of Vanilla P5 lol

I have no doubt. And that is freaking amazing.

My mans really said “oooooh, look at this rare candy factory, sure would be a shame if someone had a Pokémon with abilities that allow the use of elements to break into it and use all the rare candies inside to become a god”

YES PLS I WOULD TOTALLY WATCH THIS! got nothing better to do in quarantine.

There's a guy who played Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 with similar objectives: Lvl 99 before leaving Destiny Islands in KH1, and lvl 99 as Roxas in the prologue of KH2 (which took twice as long).

Dude respect the one of the only guys on RU-vid doing challenge runs on persona 5 and persona 5 royal

This challenge just got you my subscription

Subscribing in hopes to see the torment in the future

You know what I was just thinking about this I know that dude did something similar in Final Fantasy 7 and it took him roughly 500 hours or 20 days from his count and I can tell you that doing this will be a real pain in the ass the best advice I can give you is have some music at the ready or some friends to talk to while doing this or grind to a certain level for a few days then play another game or do another challenge so you won't get burnt out and don't forget to save your data because that would be absolutely painful if you got so close to completing the challenge and the power went out or something like that

man the first 45 sec of the video already killed me.. tbh you deserve more popularity

Earned my sub and like

at the beginning was Silva gunner music.

I mean, Cartman maxed out his WoW character by grinding boars in the forest near Goldshire so I suppose it's not impossible. edit: I mean it's probably easier if you have insta-kill so the second palace would be ideal but the first palace? Now that's a challenge lol.

Liked and subbed just to make you do this grindfest

This man deserves more subscribers

Giggling like a little kid and haven’t even passed the first minute.

Hey, Tevin, my bud! Loved the video, just wanted to offer input on one thing! While I'm not incredibly familiar with the specific numbers used in Persona 5, I am fairly familiar with the concept of diminishing returns, the system by which a lot of games utilize an experience mechanic wherein defeating an enemy becomes worth less over time, and it unfortunately it's a much more gradual progression than what you'd initially suggest. So with that in mind, if we assume that levels 1-15 increase experience at 100% of the earned rate, and 91-99 at a 33% rate, then as opposed to 16-90 being a 70% gain rate, it would safe to assume it would be more like 16-29 being 70%, 30-59 being 50%, and 60-90 being 40%. Or something along those lines! Again, I don't know what specific numbers P5 would use within those parameters, but essentially the decline would be more gradual and less sudden. Given this information, the 16-90 level range would become worth less over time as well, further increasing your overall time requirement from 12 days to most like 15 days!

To think you got 13,000 subs in one month. You more that deserve it, every video is hilarious!

*Sees him at 19k subs* *Sees the video at 25k likes* Oh shit. He's gonna have to do it.

Damn, RU-vid's recommendations are thinking that I am a sadist.

I've been rocking team glasses since vanilla P5 and I can definitely say it's the best Accessory in the game. I got to level 99 in Royal in Sae's palace which is something i didnt think was possible in the original without the reaper cheese.

Came across your channel and I love you vids hope I can get an idea for a perosna challenge

woah there you had 100 subs like last week!! congrats man!

This is a whole new level of self punishment I have witnessed.

I'm not sure how to feel. I really want to know how long it'll take to reach lv 99 in the first palace, but I don't want someone to hurt themselves just to find out. I also suggest adding sleep to that schedule because there is no way you're staying awake that long.

it may have been hell, but this is what made your channel explode

Tevin bruh more power to you if you do heck I couldn’t fight the first palace that king even if I wanted I still need to finish my only joker run in og p5

FOR REAL!?

Basically it’s always yes, the real question is how LONG.

Using reido kuzunoha clothes ? You are a man of culture indeed! I like the battle song in that clothes, besides it looks cool tho.

Ayyy more content for the Twitch!

"I would like to get 30k likes on this video" *Im doing my part!*

You might've figured this out already, but they actually changed exp modifier in Royal. Merciless now gives the most exp out of all difficulties.

Leaving a like just to see this month long kamoshida palace run

another challenge youtuber. BRO. YESSS

When you get 10.1k 53 minuted after uploading 👀

the question being "how much do you hate kamoshida?" yes

Thanks for the guide, now I can finally beat kamoshida on normal mode.

Lol yoooo that pause and the “let’s find out” did it for me 😂

You know that you're gonna have to play this for 11 days and 19 hours straight right?

Honestly, this kind of repetitive work sounds quite relaxing right about now. Turn off the game sounds, get yourself some nice podcasts and log in a couple of hours per day every day in between other "work", it ought to take about a month of effort and it might just turn the whole game into a Light Novel, since you will be over leveled until late game. It might even be what I would consider doing it, it's what I have always done ever since I started playing chess, because there is no kill like overkill and no overkill as is as satisfying as when you start playing with the power level of a declawed kitten to end up the most powerful entity around. Still, I must say that it would be much better to have a NG+ like in the RPGs like Dark Souls and The Witcher 3, where players restart the game but retain all their gold, abilities and most of their gear, except for things like main line quest items that move the plot forward. The enemies scale up but at least this sort of effort isn't wasted, this would be like starting a NG with level 713 in DS.

The goat of Persona 5 is back let’s goo

im glad to know someone has enough time to grind about 5-20 or less exp after level 15 and up i usually call it quits on a palace every 15 levels

There's no way you'll get to 30000 likes

As someone said " If you give players enough freedom, they will absolutely optimize the fun out of a game"

Well now, colour me morbidly curious and afraid of your life. I'll await your power leveling with much interest.

That grind math is insane! Its double my platinum run when the royal version came out.

Absolute Madlad.

The best way to beat kamoshida's palace since kamoshida gets exactly what he deserves.

Holy shit. Hats off. Few can suffer like you.

*Outstanding Move*
