Like most of the Dungeon Crawler made by ATLUS, also Person Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth it can present a significant level of challenge, even for fans. In this guide, you will discover some tips to escape from the theater with a little less pain. In the article you will find minor spoilers about the battle system and features of the game, but none that relate to the plot.
- Complete as many tickets as possible
Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth tickets allow the party to access the side quests scattered around the various mazes. To accept them just visit Elizabeth at the Box Office and choose the mission. Some require you to find certain objects, others to exterminate certain enemies or FOEs. The rewards are varied, but all very useful. You can unlock new Unison Attacks between various party members, key items to create special Personas or some recipes that will allow Theodore to create unique items or equipment.
- Confront the residents of the Velvet Room
As you progress through the story of Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth and complete a fair number of side missions, you will have access to particular challenges against the various assistants in the Velvet Room. The rewards of these tough battles will allow your Persona Stock to expand, so you feel less cramped as you farm through mazes. This way you will have access to many more combinations to merge new Personas in less time.
- Use Blank and Wild Cards
These cards are reminiscent of a procedure introduced in Persona 4. The Blanks and Wild Cards ensure that the Person sacrificed during a ritual also gives a Skill to the Person who will benefit from the sacrifice. This is the easiest way to get high level Persona as you progress through the story, with the skills you want. A prime example would be using a Blank Card on Rangda while you sacrifice it: you will get Debilitate, a skill with immense utility that reduces attack, defense, accuracy and evasion of the enemy for 3 turns, essential against all FOE and bosses. You can get the Blank and Wild cards during some battles, especially against the Rare Shadows, or in the mazes, by controlling certain areas (only if you have the map of the treasures of that maze).
- Conclude the battles against the Rare Shadows with an All Out Attack
During the story you will get some bonuses that will grant you a 1.2 bonus and subsequently 1.5 more exp if you end the battle with an All Out Attack. Try to repeat this procedure every time you come across encounters with the Rare Shadows. Try to find their weak point and make sure you end up with an All Out Attack. You can guess which element the Rare Shadow is weak to from the name. Use L to analyze the Shadow, if its name is, for example, "Firebane" you will already know that with an ice spell you will have the knife on the side of the handle.
- The importance of links
Some skills allow you to damage the enemy repeatedly, these are called Links. Some late game passive abilities allow these links to repeat up to four times (Quadruple Link being the best of these). Not only will those who use this skill have a better chance of acting first, but if the other 4 members of the party also score a single blow, the Link series will continue to damage the enemy. Furthermore, the accumulation of Links quickly fills the bar on the right, which allows Navigators to use their Skills. If you want to make this tactic deadly, especially during bosses, we recommend that you cast Heat Riser to the one who will trigger the link, and a Debilitate to the enemy you want to knock out.
- Extra Exp and Extra yen
Some equipment, like the Lucky Scarf and the Growth Shirt, allow you to accumulate more money and give more XP to anyone who wears them. Unfortunately, they are nothing exceptional when it comes to defense and evasion, so be sure to wear them only when you are sure you are not experiencing problems while farming.
