Side Activities, also known as Mini-Games can be unlocked in Persona 5: The Phantom X by completing various steps in the main story. Some of these activities are quite lucrative, since they allow players to earn Badges they can exchange for useful items like gifts, Tickets, and Coins for the gacha game.
Persona 5 Phantom X Pity System Explained
Like most Gacha games, Persona 5 Phantom X includes a Pity System. This is what players should know about it.
This guide will help players unlock all side-activities in P5X, with a quick and clear overview of what players need to do to start enjoying all the mini-games and earn those Badges.
How To Unlock Batting Cage in Persona 5: The Phantom X
Once players have concluded the first Palace and defeated Kuichi/Cupid, they will be able to accompany Motoha Arai on an outing (date). She will take them to visit the center of Shibuya, and eventually, they will increase their Synergy Rank with her, which will automatically unlock the Batting Cages mini-game.
Players can buy a ticket (for 1200 yen) and spend hours in Training Mode, or join the Challenge Mode to try and beat some scores, and earn some cool rewards like Platinum Milicoins, Platinum Tickets, Cooking Recipes, and gifts to impress Wonder's preferred romance target. To do this, players need to earn Batting Badges in the Challenge Mode, then exchange them in the Batting Cages store. Pretty simple, but an effective way to get some extra rewards.
How To Unlock Band Club Practice in Persona 5: The Phantom X
The Band Club is unlocked slightly later during Act 2, after Miyazawa challenges Shun to a cooking competition. Wonder and Motoha go back to school to talk about the next steps to infiltrate Miyazawa's palace, and in that intermission, players will notice a red-haired girl talking to another one in the hallway next to their classroom.
The Gun Is Locked in Persona 5 The Phantom X: Here's When You Can Use It in Battle
Using guns is not that complicated in Persona 5 Phantom X, but it won't be available at the start.
If players pop open the Mission menu (default 'J'), they will be able to notice a mission that directs them to join the School Band club. After completing the tutorial for the Rythm Mini Game, they will receive rewards like Band Club Experience, and Band Badges, which can be exchanged in the Club Bulletin Board, accessing the Band Club Store. Again, the rewards range from Gifts for companions, to Platinum Milicoins, and Platinum Tickets.
How To Unlock Soccer Practice in Persona 5: The Phantom X
To unlock the Soccer Mini-Game, players will need to advance in the Main Story until the Phantom Thieves are ready to take the treasure from Miyazawa Palace, and search around the Club Activity Board until they see a blonde teen with a red soccer uniform. This will unlock the Mission 'The Beautiful Game: Part 1,' which will allow players to join the Soccer Team Club and practice penalties with them. It's a nice side-activity that also grants Soccer Club Badges, so it's worth a shot for any player looking to get extra rewards.
