Persona 3 Reload: How to Get Juzumaru

After your first Full Moon Operation (5/9) in Persona 3 Reload, you'll be able to start accepting Requests from Elizabeth from 5/10 onwards. These are all optional, but the rewards make them worth doing. You'll often need to complete one Request to unlock another, and some even have deadlines that you'll want to watch out for. One of the earlier Requests that you can accept is "Request 7: Bring me a Juzumaru."

Other than serving as a quest item, Juzumaru is a weapon for Junpei Iori. If you're just starting your Persona 3 Reload playthrough, then you might want to equip it. As you progress through P3R's campaign, you can swap the Juzumaru for something stronger.

How to Unlock Juzumaru in Persona 3 Reload

Where to Find Juzumaru in Tartarus

persona 3 reload juzumaru chest in tartarus arqa

You can get the Juzumaru from a locked chest on Floor 36 (Arqa Block) in Tartarus. You'll need three Twilight Fragments to open it. Floor 36 has another gatekeeper boss, meaning you'll have to fight it after you've beaten the Heretic Magus on Floor 35.

The Disturbing Dice and two Slaughter Twins await you on Floor 36. You can Down the Slaughter Twins by using Electricity. Unless you have a Persona with Mazio or Zio, you may want to wait before attempting Floors 35-36 until Akihiko returns to the front lines. The Disturbing Dice has no weaknesses and resists Fire. Meaning you'll want to refrain from using Junpei's Agi Skill on it. Fortunately, the Disturbing Dice doesn't resist physical Skills, so you'll want to try and land a critical hit. The critical hit ratio can be boosted with certain Accessories or the Revolution Support Skill.

Your main goal here will be to get rid of the Slaugher Twins before taking care of the Disturbing Dice. Exploit their weaknesses, and hit them while they're Down. This may cause them to be inflicted with the Dizzy status ailment, meaning they won't be able to move on their next turn.

Once you've defeated Disturbing Dice, you'll find two locked treasure chests. Inside the one with three locks (which requires three Twilight Fragments to open) is the Juzumaru.

If you can't open it on this run, don't worry: Locked chests on gatekeeper and border floors do not disappear, meaning you can revisit/warp to Floor 36 and unlock it when you have enough Twilight Fragments.

Where to Use Juzumaru

Request 7: Bring me a Juzumaru

If you've completed Request 2 (retrieve the first document), then you should be able to grab Request 7. For this, you'll need to bring Elizabeth the Juzumaru you looted from the chest on Floor 36. As a reward, you'll receive a Makouha Skill Card. Skill Cards can be used to teach Skills to your Personas, making them incredibly useful for builds. Makouha inflicts weak light damage on all opponents.

If you're trying to complete every Request in your P3R playthrough, then you'll want to complete Request 7 as soon as you can accept it.

Juzumaru's Stats & Effects

Is It Worth Using?

Juzumaru is a sword melee weapon that can only be equipped by Junpei. It has the following stats:

Attack	Accuracy	Effect
107	95	Critical rate up (low)

You'll obtain and be able to craft stronger melee weapons for Junpei as you progress P3R's story. Until then, you'll want to keep Juzumaru equipped - especially for Theurgy. Weapons with high critical hits tend to have lower accuracy to "balance" them out. Juzumaru has a low chance of landing critical hits, but for Junpei, the higher the critical hit rate, the better. Each SEES member have "Characteristics" that are used to charge the Theurgy gauge. Junpei's characteristic increases the Theurgy gauge each time he lands a critical hit. Thus, you may want to keep Juzumaru until you can start getting Accessories that have effects like Apt Pupil.
