Persona 6 Wiki: Confidants, Fusion, Answers & Endings Guide

Persona 6 Confidant Guide: All 22 Social Links Persona 6's confidant system is the most complex yet. You have 22 characters to bond with, split across the real world and the Dream World. The key difference? Dream World confidants only advance during specific phases of the moon cycle, which happens roughly every 10 in-game days. ### Rank-Up Requirements Every confidant needs specific stat thresholds. For example, **Miyu Tanaka** (Fortune) requires Charm Rank 3 before you can start her link, and her Rank 7 event needs Courage Rank 4. I learned this the hard way—I wasted two weeks trying to progress her story before realizing I needed to grind at the batting cages. Most confidants unlock at specific story milestones. The earliest you can start any social link is **May 12**, after the first major dungeon. The latest unlockable confidant is **Ryoji** (Judgment), which appears on **November 8** and must be completed before December 20 to access the True Ending. ### Best Confidants to Prioritize | Confidant | Arcana | Unlock | Key Perk | |-----------|--------|--------|----------| | Yuki Tanaka | Magician | May 12 | Party negotiation boost | | Sora Fujimoto | Moon | June 3 | Double item drops | | Dr. Kaito | Heirophant | July 1 | SP recovery daily | **Dr. Kaito** is my top recommendation for new players. His Rank 7 perk gives you 10 SP every morning, which saves you from buying sodas constantly. Combine that with Yuki's negotiation boost, and you'll breeze through the first three dungeons. ---

Persona Fusion Calculator: The Arcana Shift Mechanic Persona 6 introduces **Arcana Shift**, a random chance (about 15-20%) that a fused persona changes its arcana based on the fusion combination. For example, fusing a Lovers and a Hermes persona might yield a Temperance result, but with a shift, you could get a Devil instead. This changes how you plan fusion chains. The old method of "fuse this with that to get X" no longer works cleanly. You need to account for potential shifts, which can either help or hurt your progress. ### How to Use the Fusion Calculator 1. Input your current persona list (up to 12 at a time) 2. Select target arcana or persona name 3. The calculator shows all valid combinations, including shift probabilities For instance, to create **Thanatos** (Death arcana, level 68), you need a base of Hades (level 52) and a sacrifice of any persona from the Moon arcana. But with a 17% chance of shift, you might end up with a Hanged Man instead. Save before any high-level fusion if you want precise results. **Pro tip:** The calculator is most useful for the fusion loop needed for the True Ending. You must create **Izanagi-no-Okami** (level 75) by fusing five specific personas in order: Orpheus, Thanatos, Messiah, Loki, and Kohryu. Any shift breaks the chain, so reload until you get the correct result. ---

Classroom Answers: All 48 Questions Persona 6 has 48 classroom questions across the school year (April to March). Most are simple multiple-choice, but 12 have no timer—you can look them up if you're stuck. ### Key Questions with Knowledge Bonuses

**April 15:** "What is the capital of Peru?" → Lima (Knowledge +1)

**June 8:** "Who wrote 'The Tale of Genji'?" → Murasaki Shikibu (Knowledge +2)

**September 12:** "What is the atomic number of gold?" → 79 (Knowledge +2)

**November 5:** "Which planet has the most moons?" → Saturn (Knowledge +1) Missing a question doesn't break anything, but you lose potential Knowledge points. To reach Knowledge Rank 5 (needed for Ryoji's confidant), you need at least 35 correct answers. If you miss more than 13, you'll need to grind at the library on rainy days. ---

Endings: True, Neutral, and Dream World Persona 6 has three endings, and the requirements are more specific than previous games. ### True Ending

Complete all main story dungeons by **December 20**

Max out Ryoji's Judgment confidant (requires Knowledge Rank 5)

On **December 22**, choose "I accept the truth" during the final dialogue

Then, on **December 24**, select "I will fight for the real world" This ending unlocks the final boss fight against **Erebus** (level 85). You also get a post-credits scene showing the protagonist returning to the real world. ### Neutral Ending

Complete all dungeons but fail to max Ryoji

On December 22, choose "I refuse" at the truth prompt

Game ends on December 24 with a bittersweet scene where the Dream World collapses ### Dream World Ending

Deliberately fail the final dungeon by letting the timer run out (you have 30 in-game days)

On December 20, choose "I want to stay here"

You remain in the Dream World forever, with a short cutscene of the protagonist smiling **My take:** The Dream World ending is a trap. It's easy to stumble into if you're not paying attention to deadlines. Save before December 1 so you can reload if you miss the requirements. ---

FAQ **Q: Can I max all confidants in one playthrough?** A: Yes, but it's tight. You need 100% efficiency: always carry a matching persona, use the Fortune teller to boost affinity, and prioritize the Moon and Sun confidants (they rank up fastest). Most players finish with 20-21 maxed, missing one or two. **Q: Does the fusion calculator work for DLC personas?** A: Yes, but DLC personas (like Raidou or Aigis) have fixed arcana and can't shift. The calculator treats them as normal personas but notes their shift immunity. **Q: What happens if I miss a classroom question?** A: You lose potential Knowledge points, but you can compensate by studying at the library (gives +1 Knowledge per hour) or answering questions correctly in future exams. There's no penalty beyond slower stat growth.
