Climbing up Tartarus lets you get stronger, but that isn’t the only reason why you should go there. Every now and then, people end up lost in the dungeon and it’s up to you to rescue them. Here’s a list of all missing person dates in Persona 3 Reload.
What are Missing Persons in Persona 3 Reload?
Partway through the story, Elizabeth will let you know that civilians have accidentally wandered into Tartarus during the Dark Hour, and you need to rescue them before they’re forever lost. While this might seem like a pain at first, rescuing them can be important as there a couple of them associated with Social Link progression.
Specifically, Bunkichi and Maiko are two characters that will wander into Tartarus in the tail-end of the year. You need to rescue them in order to continue their Social Links if they’re still in progression, and if you want to see their stories through at the end of the game.
Things are made even more complicated by the fact that every missing person has a different deadline for you to rescue them. It’d be very inefficient to go into Tartarus every time someone goes missing, so this guide should help you plan out your trips.
