Persona 3 Reload: How to start Mitsuru Kirijo Social Link

Persona 3 Reload is the comeback of SEES against The Dark Hour and the Tartarus tower. Of all the party members, Mitsuru is one fan-favorite character and part of the game’s main cast, but her Social Link is not as easy to start as you might think, so here’s all you need to know.

Persona 3 Reload has a huge cast of playable characters, and its turn-based system feels fresh as every character packs different abilities. SEES members will fight alongside the MC on every Tartarus visit, and depending on your enemies, different party members will make the cut.

Apart from the new Linked Episodes for the male protagonists, the female characters have their own Social Links. They could end up in romantic relationships if you want to, but time is the most valuable asset in this game, so you should know when those Links start.

So, here’s how to start the Mitsuru Kirijo Social Link in Persona 3 Reload, which unlocks the Empress Arcana XP bonus in the Velvet Room’s Persona fusions.

How to hang out with Mitsuru in Persona 3 Reload

To start hanging out with Mitsuru and Rank up her Social Link in Persona 3 Reload, players will have to wait until November 21, after the school trip finishes. Also, the Academics Social Stat is needed at its maximum level to unlock the Link.

On 11/21, Mitsuru will be waiting in the Faculty Office Hallway in the School’s 1F. If you are Rank 6 in the Academics Social Stat, you will be able to talk to Mitsuru and begin the Empress Arcana Social Link.

You can hang out with her on earlier dates, but this will only unlock her Personality trait for Theurgy attacks and craft new SP Recovery Teas.
