Some Social Links in Persona 3 Royal are harder to find than others. While you start with a set of easy-to-find friends like the Classmate and the Track Team, others require high Social Skills or Social Link milestones. For a few of them, you need to complete a puzzle to start the Link.
The Tower Social Link requires all of the above. Discovering the Unusual Monk is hard enough, but if you want to get to know him you'll have to jump through a few extra hoops. That's why this guide will explain everything you need to get this Social Link started.
Persona 3 Reload: Where's the Persimmon Tree?
The elderly couple at the bookstore are key to starting the Hierophant Social Link.
Reach Strength 4
The first requirement is to complete Rank 4 of the Strength Social Link. To even get that far, you need to join the track team (the Chariot Arcana) and then ask to walk home with Yuko after two track events.
After you complete the fourth event with Yuko, you have to wait until she appears in the hallway again. Once she does, you should speak to her to hear a rumor about a strange monk who regularly visits Club Escapade. She'll then ask the protagonist to spend time with her, but you can cancel out if you want. All you need to do is hear about the monk for him to appear in the club.
Complete the Drink Orders
The next thing you need is level 2 Courage, "Ordinary." You can't enter Escapade without this much Courage. The game also checks your Courage level when you try to speak to the monk, but the requirement for this is also level 2.
At first, the monk refuses to speak to the protagonist and demands alcohol. To continue, head downstairs and speak to the Bartender. He'll let you bring the monk a drink, but he wants proof that you're really trying to help out. To provide this proof, you'll need to get drink orders from four of the patrons on the dance floor.
Persona 3 Reload will try to confuse you by having most of the patrons change their minds as they give you their orders. Fortunately, you can ask them for their orders as often as you need to, and you can give the bartender your guesses as many times as it takes. The only problem is that the Bartender won't tell you how many orders you got wrong. Here are the right answers, in order:
- The Unemotional Woman wants a Margarita.
- The Temperamental Woman wants a Bloody Mary.
- The Active Woman wants a Screwdriver.
- The Upbeat Man wants an Oolong Tea.
Once you get all four drink orders correct, the Bartender will let you bring the monk's whiskey up to his booth. Doing so will pass the evening and give you the first rank of the Tower Arcana. You can then visit the monk Mutatsu every evening on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
