Welcome toPersona 3 Reload, the 2024 remake of the 2006 vanilla version of Persona 3. Now the fourth version of the game, P3R aims to bring a modern touch to the PS2 classic and reintroduce one of the series’ darkest stories to the fanbase once again.
Team up with the members of SEES – the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad – to strengthen your bonds as you strengthen your Personas and work together to solve the mystery behind why super-strong Shadows have been wreaking havoc on your small, manmade island home, Port Island. Below is TheGamer’s entire coverage of Persona 3 Reload.
Updated on July 22, 2025:Now that we’ve finished our coverage of Episode Aigis, we’re giving our Persona 3 Reload walkthrough one more update to make sure we’ve got everything here that you’ll need to defeat Erebus and break free of the Abyss of Time.
Tartarus Guides
Tartarus is the looming dungeon that erupts from Gekkoukan High School during the Dark Hour, and it’s up to you and your fellow SEES teammates to get to the top of the tower before the end of the game as you simultaneously get to the bottom of the mystery behind why Tartarus exists at all.
Instead of traditional dungeons like other Persona titles, Tartarus serves as your game-long dungeon. It’s broken up into several different blocks, all with unique Shadows, Personas, Gatekeepers, layouts, and more. This section of Persona 3 Reload guides covers everything you’ll need to know as you ascend Tartarus.
Full Moon Shadow Guides
It isn’t long before your team works out that it seems to be the Full Moon that brings the super-tough Shadows that’ve been causing increases in the mysterious Apathy Syndrome in Port Island. As soon as you awaken to your Persona, you’re tasked with handling them yourself.
In this section of our Persona 3 Reload guide, we’re covering each of the Full Moon boss battles with the Arcana Shadows. Each of our Full Moon operation guides in our Persona 3 Reload walkthrough has party recommendations, affinity charts, helpful tips, and more.
Social Link Guides
The original Persona 3 was the first in the now-iconic series to introduce more focus on the daily life aspect of your protagonist instead of putting the spotlight on the story and combat. For the first time, we were free to spend time with our school friends, teammates, and even the odd stranger around town.
Persona 3 Reload has sharpened the focus on these social links with fully-voiced, animated cutscenes for each ranking of all your social links. Our Persona 3 Reload guide features tips on how to unlock and level up each social link, along with tables providing information on the number of points you’ll receive for each choice in conversation.
Reviews, Features, And Lists
In this final section of our Persona 3 Reload guide, between our review and previews on assorted parts of the game, features we’ve written about why P3R speaks to us (or doesn’t), and listicles covering all aspects of the game, we’ve had quite a lot to say about Persona 3 Reload here at TheGamer!
