Quick Links
Though P3 and its current remake,Persona 3 Reload, was the first game in the Persona series to offer social links, there aren’t many that you can spend time with at night. But, if you would like to give up a few evenings of going to Tartarus or building your social stats, consider befriending Mutatsu.
The monk who hangs out at Club Escapade when he’s not doing religious duties is the Tower social link in P3R, and after you’re Courageous enough to introduce yourself, he’s got a wealth of life lessons to give so you don’t end up like him.

This guide contains spoilers for the Tower social link in Persona 3 Reload.
How To Unlock The Tower Social Link
It’s going to take you some time before you’re formally introduced to Mutatsu, the monk who loves to drink and smoke atClub Escapadein Paulownia Mall - but getting into the club is a task itself. To do so, you’ll needat leastLevel Two Courage- youarea high schooler going into a nightclub, after all.
Mutatsu spends his time on the second floorof Club Escapadeduring the evenings from Thursday-Sundayeach week, one ofonly two nighttime social linksin Persona 3 Reload, with the other being President Tanaka.
But just because you can get into Club Escapade doesn’t mean Mutatsu is ready to chat - in fact, you’ll also need tolearn about Mutatsu from Yukoduring theRank Four sceneforYuko’s Strength social linkbefore he begins to appear at the club, too.
When you arrive to introduce yourself, his glass has run dry, andMutatsu won’t talk to you until he’s had a drink. To get him hooked up, head back downstairs andtalk to the bartenderwaiting by the bar just near the bottom of the stairs.
He tells you he’ll send a drink up to Mutatsu if youhelp the waiter take drink ordersfor the remaining club patrons he hasn’t hit yet. This begins a short quest totalk to everyone at Club Escapade with a thought bubble over their headto see what they’d like to drink. Many of them will change their orders before landing on something, soonly remember their ultimate requestwhen you ask.
In all, thedrink orders for the bartender at Club Escapadewho’s willing to deliver a drink to Mutatsu for you are as follows:
With all the orders collected,speak to the bartender againand let him know what everyone wants. He’llpoint to each customer individually, so be sure to select the correct drink order when each person is highlighted.
After you’ve gotten all four orders correct, the bartender sends a drink upstairs for Mutatsu, so when yougo back upstairs to talk to Mutatsu a second time, he’ll invite you to sit down and the Tower social link for P3R will formally begin.

You don’t have to revere me, but you’d better at least show me some respect.
Show respect how?
… How come you’re always here alone? Don’tcha got any friends, kid?
You should cut it. No, better yet, shave it all off… Give the bald look a try.
High school kids don’t have much money, do they? At least, I never gave much to my son.

… And I mean somethin' you can buy with money. Not some crap like “love” or “a sense of humor.”
Are you okay?
It’s always in times like these… ah… when it’s hardest to be alone…
You live by yourself?
Do you have any coworkers?
… Hey! There’s a microphone over there. Bring it over, kid! I’ll perform a live sutra reading.
Didn’t Dad tell you not to do that, huh?
I wonder if they felt the same way I did, when I was waiting for you earlier…
Who’s “they?”
What’re you talking about?
… Now when I go home, I don’t know what to do with myself, so I just come here and drink every night.
Do you miss your family?
Are you running away?
I’m workin' memorial service after memorial service 24/7, as if my little temple was some kinda convenience store…
Why not take a break?
I’ve been drinkin' too much lately… makin' a fool of myself like I did the other day.
Time to retire?
Whaddaya think?
What’s this about?
I’m gonna say, “I wanna recite the sutras with you by my side for the rest of my life.” … Well? How’s that sound?
Following Mutatsu’s Rank 10 (Max) scene, he’ll gift your protagonist aReserve Tag, which is the item needed to fuseChi Youin the Velvet Room.
