Persona 3 Reload: Mastering the Monk Social Link

Reach Strength 4

To hit Strength Rank 4, we've got a few hoops to jump through. First off, you gotta nail Rank 4 of the Strength Social Link. No easy feat, let me tell you. Join the track team, aka the Chariot Arcana, and sweet talk Yuko into letting you walk her home after a couple of sweaty track events.

Once you've aced the fourth event with Yuko, play the waiting game until she pops up in the hallway again. When she does, don't be shy; strike up a convo. She'll spill the tea about a funky monk who's a regular at Club Escapade. All you need is the lowdown on this monk, and poof, he'll materialize in the club like magic.

Complete the Drink Orders

Now, the next hurdle is to beef up your Courage to level 2, "Ordinary." No bravery, no entry to Escapade - it's that simple. And guess what? When you try to shoot the breeze with the monk, Courage level 2 is non-negotiable.

The monk's not the chatty type initially; he's got priorities, and one of them is a craving for alcohol. Trot downstairs, chat up the Bartender, and persuade him to let you fetch a drink for the monk. But hold up, he's got trust issues. He needs proof that you're the real deal. That proof? Four drink orders from the dance floor patrons.

Persona 3 Reload likes to play mind games, switching up orders like a DJ flipping tracks. Don't stress, though; you can bug the patrons for their orders as many times as it takes. The Bartender won't spill the beans on your mistakes, but no worries, I've got the cheat codes:

• The Unemotional Woman? She's all about that Margarita.
• The Temperamental Woman? Bloody Mary is her jam.
• The Active Woman? A Screwdriver's her drink.
• The Upbeat Man? He's sipping on Oolong Tea.

Get those orders spot-on, and the Bartender will greenlight you to deliver the monk's whiskey to his VIP booth. Boom, you've just earned your stripes in the Tower Arcana. From there, catch up with Mutatsu, our monk buddy, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.
