Back in Persona 3, I easily made it the rest of the way up to floor 16 of Tartarus and got the document needed for Elizabeth’s timed quest. There was another boss fight along the way on floor 14, but this one was much easier than the earlier one and I beat it the first time. There was a barrier on floor 16 which prevented me from proceeding any further until the next full moon (six days away), apparently.

In the meantime I gained a rank in Courage through a few nights of karaoke, gained social links with the swim team leader and a little girl at the shrine, and went back to Tartarus to grind a bit for some more xp and items.

The full moon arrived and this time another shadow appeared outside the tower and we chased it to a monorail, where a series of fights broke out as we made our way down the train and culminated in a timed section in getting to the boss. The boss fight was a bit annoying because she kept summoning new monsters into the fight, but otherwise wasn’t too hard, and there was plenty of xp rewarded for this segment. The barrier is gone now, so I can start exploring more floors of the tower again.

And it’s almost exam time, so I’m hoping I can gain one more rank in Academics before then. Donating money at the shrine while in Great condition is best for that, but it’s often hard to organize with other students and events distracting you…

And about that monorail boss, I think Junpei speaks for us all:
