Persona 3 Reload: EASY Money and EXP farming guide 

Persona, the franchise where your eternal punishment is bankruptcy

Lmao I've had the "I'm broke af" to "We Up!" moment alot so far

Look at this guy, so dedicated to catching hands

I discovered this method on my own pretty early and it's so good. It beats fighting a bunch of trash shadows.

Bruh this is perfect timing lmao i'm like 7 hours in and broke asf

Another good tip is to always buy out all the vending machines that have sp restoring drinks. They restock every Sunday and theres one in the doorm and one at iwatodai station.

I made an error on my part regarding what debuff to use. You want to use masakunda, not matarunda. 💀

The easiest way to farm is through the dlc personal. Use vanadium on easiest difficulty (peaceful). Get to where reaper invades(floor 61+), then fight hom. Use Vanadis aoe for double hit with crit, and whenever team is alive, debuff reaper. The team should be Yukari, mitsuru, and akihiko. First time takes like 20 to 3 mins with constant revive mechanic on peaceful difficulty. Best done with arcana burst and select xp boost when he dies for 638k exp and you'll level quick to 70-80. Reaper drops bloody button, which is expensive. Also, the team gets very strong, and the reaper can die quicker each run to 99. Also mc dying heals everybody hp and sp so focus on physical persona move to die to replenish team sp back up.

A quick tip from experience. If you don't have power personas or weapons yet (me lol), the golden hands do have weakness and they change based on the type of floor you are on. So the first level (the school) they are weak to bashing attacks. The second level (the purple room with faces) they are weak to light attacks. So if you need extra free turns, just double check a guide to see which hand is weak to what on the level you are on.

I'll be streaming in about an hour! I'm gonna be doing this myself so you guys don't have to watch me do it 😆

Thank you for the tip bro! I HAVE BEEN WONDERING how i can grind 😅🔥 i appreciate it

I played on normal diff (no dlc, never changed the diff), never really had to grind for money or xp, going in tartarus 2 to 3 times each full moon cycle, fully explore everything each time (kill all enemies, chests, doors and all), try to get arcana burst asap and prioritize exp card, exploit weakness and critical as much as possible, kill things really fast, did't use money for persona fusing until mid to late game (it's pointless trying to get the best skill inherited since you get lots of skill cards and much better skills later game, just use the persona you get through the cards at the end of the each battle). Especially in early to mid game, you can tell really easily what each enemy is weak to by looking at what their attacks are (fire attack means weak to ice, wind attack means weak to electric, light attack means weak to dark), saving you the time trying different attacks, may have to try out physicals if they are weak to them. Though you do need to rely more on fuuka's ability from mid game. Also, more importantly, be more generous on using items, there is no point saving them for later, there will be more and better items, use them to do buff/debuff, healing, and exploiting enemies weakness (especially bosses) with members who don't have that certain elemental attacks, As for money, don't always buy new gears each full moon cycle, first, you get much better gears in chests in each stage of tartarus (gear also don't matter too much if you can down everything and one shot them with all out attack, all the bosses and stronger enemies during early to mid game should also have weaknesses), second, you unlock the gear making shop during mid game and they are much better than the ones sold at the police station. Also, enemy weakness at each stage of tartarus (especially early to mid game) kinda hints you at which member should be used, so dont get new gears for everyone at once, prioritize the members you will be using, use the big clock to catch up on level for the members you won't be using (you should be able to activate the clock as least once every stage of tartarus if you fully explore the corresponding stage of tartarus a couple time each month). Try to finish all of Elizabeth's quests and save the kitties, it will net you quite a bit of money and twilight fragments. try not to use the clock to exchange twilight fragment for sp, save your twilight fragment for chests, they can give your really good skill cards, especially mid to late game For SP recovery, might be a bit tight in early game but try to exploit fuuka's ability as much as possible, until around mid to late game, you can get a skill card to recover 8% of your HP and SP after every battle, and another one that gives full experience to personas that are not in battle, copy them at the shrine every day and slap them on every persona you use. Try to complete your persona compendium (leveling social stats, completing social links and fusing more persona) as much as possible so you can to unlock more theurgy, you can get a theurgy that consumes all your hp and sp for a 9999 almighty attack during late game (around lvl 60-70 I think), couple that with arcana boost and exp card, kills the reaper instantly and get you well over 400k exp each fight, really breaks the game at this point, saves you the boring grind and let you enjoy the game more With that being said, merciless might be a different story though, but I hope this helps

Shout out to Elizabeth for wanting me to get the rarity reading for a mission of hers - then me finding out how broken this farm is. I only beat the second section of the dungeon and I’m level 26, have a persona with Invigorate 1, Spirit Drain, and all 6 element attacks. Feeling unstoppable! (Totally died to the floor 43 boss three times before I figured out its schtick 😂)

KD really helping me ball on a budget

wow this is awesome. reminds me a bit of farming fish for selling in old resident evil 4

I also found that if you use Fuuka’s jamming ability, the hands don’t detect you, so it can become a guaranteed way for you to hit them without them running away.

Was looking for methods last night on yt and nothing. Glad i checked again today

Something worth noting about the coins you get from the hands is you can only carry 99 of the given type from whatever hand you kill. But I sold 99 of the ones from the Tiaz block and got like 1.5 mil so yeah if you're in this for money be sure to farm all the floors and kill all the hands and you'll reach money cap in no time.

Awesome, thank you for not letting me waste god knows how many extra hours battling simple shadows....

This is also a good way to farm twilight fragments on the side should you happen to run into a dark floor. Don't skip that floor! Go through it and bust down any glowing blue structures.

Thanks man. I sped video up to 1.75x and you sound like you're speaking normally even though the music is so fast lmao

Thanks. Im gonna try this method 😄👍

this is better than me just spamming the lower levels with no sp left and just doing reg attacks XDD

Pro tip: before opening the gate/barrier to the next section... Get fortune teller common gold enemy appearance at night club. Start at 15-20 floors below gate. Keep skipping floors until you see gold enemy icon on map. Battle it then skip floor, repeat until you reach the gate. Go back to floor 1, and repeat to get easy money and exp

I cram the shit out of each Tartarus playthrough right before the full moon. Like I’ll wait till the last day and play till I get to the barrier. Floors 117-143 got me 500k after I done rescued everyone, got all the chests, fought damn near every shadow, did all the “doors” (I won’t spoil for u if u haven’t got there yet) and then sold everything to the police guy that I collected. That took me more than 2 hours to complete 😅

I don’t know if this is well known or mentioned, but you can get an entire floor of wealth hands, so make sure you’re checking the enemy circles whenever you open the map to go to the next floor, because at least I didn’t see a cutscene when I got the special floor.

OMG, this is the exact same strategy I was doing last night. I'm not as far in the game, but the money is still very decent. We read each other's minds 🤣🤣

I usually do the same but with the gamble fortune, I just kind of the gamble fortune had a bigger effect than the rarity one. I also attack the strong ones bc they give extra exp as well

Was actually doing this tonight and on floor 164 had the entire floor nothing but gold hands. It was at least 7 of them. And I had devil arcana in my burst so I was getting two coins each time.

Personally I farm the golden hands as Makoto only, since you get 4x the exp that way. Then just use the great clock for any party members that you want to have match your level.

I remember playing the original 3, and I could continue to loophole shadow spawns on a single level

Surprised to see haru in the game turns out it was aegis lol

Huh? How do you do the uppercut kind of attack to initiate battle? I thought only pressing square does it which is basic 1-2 horizontal melee attack?

Unrelated question, how do you get that upgraded sprint with the blue streaks while running?

At mid game, i usuallt just solo with door-kun to fight the gold hands. Dont worry much bout party exp since i can utiliize the big clock to bring them up to level

To add on to this, if you wanna make your stay on Tartarus last forever, you can manipulate which buff Fuka gives you by reaching its conditions. If everyone in your party is low on SP but full HP she will restore SP for everyone instead of buffing you. I guess with this farm its harder since the main character is using most SP but I suppose you can go out of your way and remove party members to force this or somehow spend all your SP on your other members you can proc it consistently. I am doing merciless so I'm still 2 months behind this video ingame but this method allowed me to overstay my welcome on tartarus on a run you really have to grab everything you can get.

If you have the dlc, is it the best to just use Satanael for the grind cause speeding up and infinite SP recovery?

So the text at the beggining of the 1st Gold Hand fight kinda lists Tarunda instead of Sulunda when mentioning making them easier to hit. Just thought I'd mention.

Oh yes Ty Ty

Goddamn, Yukari's high def winter casual looks so hot

thanks,man!!

is it just me or does p4g on the switch feel natural then all the more 3d ones should be on console

Cool guide!, a question, does difficulty affect the exp gain?

I'm in early may and man i can barely play the damn game because i'm always too broke to have a matching Persona.

Honestly, I keep forgetting to do the fortune teller before heading to tartarus.

Thank god just got the game and I’m 6 hours in need money

How acess the tartarus?

I'm at 1/3 floor 245 and i'm not sure on how to farm. U just run out of SP so fast and orpheus telos is for NG+ (and gamepass, so no satanael) and getting twilight fragments is almost impossible

Don’t the floors change every time you enter how are you able to instantly go to the next floor when entering a new floor?

I swear I walk out of Tartarus like rags to riches and next thing you know I’m broke as a mug after a week

Do you have a guide on how to get their ultima weapons for each character?

This seems to be possible due to the fact that the shadows are generated per floor rather than per encounter. That and there’s a cutscene just showing you that there’s a golden shadow on a floor. So I don’t think the rarity increase is needed but does help.

Why does your Minato run and swing like that? Was that dlc or something ive yet to discover

I was lucky when all of the monsters on the floor are golden hands 😂 it wast the floor for the golden hand tutorial

👍

is farming golden hands faster than just cheesing the reaper with armageddon over and over?

How do you get that blue trail thats behind him

What's that fast thing you have an effect that's behind you

Life hack in the game: get a persona that knows sp drain and goto a lower level and drain their sp. literally can stay forever with that method

How did you get that super sprint

me after farming reaper and 100 floors of tartarus

I literally just cheesed the Reaper on Peaceful and hit lvl 85 from 23 lmao Took an hour but it pretty much destroyed the early game annoying grind for me

Say what is the dash you did here 4:06

How do you skip floors?

It is kind of obvious. This is already how I grind but if I don’t find Rare enemies I usually fight the strong enemies. I remember back in the floor 50 or so there was these Maren Karen snakes just the worst

Fortune mechanic like from p5royal

but... that's just the intended way...

Small error: You said to use Tarunda skills instead of Sukunda

How can i skip the floor?

Pro Tip : if youre having trouble attacking the hands, just use Fuuka's camoflauge skill to sneak up on them 👍 Also, the lower the difficulty, the higher exp gain and if you're alone you get more exp as well

I just kill reaper in every floor of tartarus

How tf do u do the jumpy attack

So the method are still same like the original, but now we have cue if we got Golden Hand or not... So it's not totally wasting time much like in the original... Nice...

They should have put the fortune teller in the streets like in Persona 5, putting her in a club makes zero sense.

I dont know how rare it is but ive had a floor with about 6 golden hands on it

Fight guide please

Easier and "faster" grind. [Peaceful Mode] -> [Wait for Reaper] -> [Kill Reaper (Impossible to lose in Peaceful mode unless you're "special"] -> [Reap Rewards] But note you will gain an insane amount of EXP from this which will kill any level of difficulty the game will throw at you until endgame but it's still the fastest way Yes, I stole this strat. Problem? Come at me bra

this woulda been good to know before i threw 62 hours into this game

I swear to God sometimes you sound like Joe Rogan 😂

there is so much filler in this video ,

you have no respect for our time. this video could have been explained in 2 minutes

I horde these i thought i can craft stuff like persona 5r . I got about 5mil if i sell them but i dont know man are they gonna ever be needed for a craftable weapon or something?

Is there a limiter you can use this in time wise or amount usage wise
