by Courage is undoubtedly one of the social statistics of Persona 5 Royal that is most difficult to raise, this is something that happens especially when we do not have a very advanced game since at the beginning we will not have so many books, movies and video games ( which will be one of the best ways to get it in the long run), so you will have to resort to other methods that are not so effective.
It is also a very relevant statistic because it involves very important Confidants (now I will tell you a bit more below), so it is very convenient for you to know all the methods to increase it, which will not be easy if your adventure is not advanced.
WHAT DO YOU NEED COURAGE FOR?
Courage is necessary for Joker to perform better in situations that require a certain amount of courage. But the most important thing about this social statistic is that it will allow us to unlock or progress with the following confidants:
- Tae Takemi : We will have to reach certain levels of Courage to progress with her, she is also a very important Confidant.
- Iwai : Unlocking it will ask us to be at level 4 of Courage.
- Kawakami : Undoubtedly one of the best confidants in the game and to unlock him you will need to have Courage level 3 and reach a certain point in the story (quite early, I think around the second Palace).
HOW TO INCREASE COURAGE
These are all the methods to increase Courage in Persona 5 Royal:
INSTITUTE LIBRARY (TEMPORARILY)
This method will only work until you finish the first Palace ( Kamoshida ). You will have to go to the Library of the Institute when leaving class and start studying (not reading, studying). Since the students will be constantly criticizing you, you will get a Courage point for the fact that you were able to study under that stress.
You will also gain one Knowledge point in passing, one less than you would normally do when studying (like when studying at the Leblanc) since the other students won’t allow you to concentrate properly.
BOOKS, MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES
Without a doubt, it is the best way to increase this statistic since by other means we will generally obtain few points:
- Books : Several Books raise this statistic. Stop by bookstores every start of the month to check for new Courage-boosting books, and remember that the best time to read is when there’s room to sit on the subway.
- Movies : Some Movies from the Cinema will give you Courage, but the best thing to do is to purchase the DVD Player (not available from the start, but it won’t take long to unlock it, you can buy it at the Yongen-Jaya Thrift Shop) and become a member of the Shibuya Videoclub to rent the movies that interest you and then be able to watch them at home at night.
- Video games : You can also get the console in the Second Hand Shop, only that it will take you a lot longer to unlock it (I think it was after the third Palace). You will have to go buying games and these will raise certain statistics, some of them provide Courage.
BIG BANG BURGER CHALLENGE
You will find this challenge in the Shibuya hamburger restaurant and by participating you will get a point of Courage. The good thing is that as you gain Dexterity, Knowledge and Courage, you will be able to overcome the challenge (there are several challenges, it will cost more each time) and by doing so you will get quite a lot of additional points from these stats. So it is a great method to progress in several of them and for this reason I highly recommend that you attend this event (when you have uploaded those statistics).
TAE TAKEMI
When staying with Takemi, we will almost always get some Courage point. As well as, it is a very useful Confidant since as we progress with her we will be able to buy more and better objects to heal our PS, PE, revive… etc, well, it will be great for us to visit her and well, 2 in 1 in that sense.
SHIBUYA RESTAURANT
The Shibuya Restaurant is a very interesting method to raise Knowledge and some other statistics depending on the menu item we choose.
For Courage, you will have to choose the ” Surprise Sandwich ” (costs 700 Yen). Doing so will give you a Courage point and also a Knowledge point. If it’s raining instead of getting a Knowledge point you’ll get 2 so take advantage of that.
MAKING CURRIES
By advancing in the relationship with Sojiro Sakura you will be able to make Curry by interacting with the Leblanc fridge (similar to how it happens with Coffee), although this can only be done on days when there are leftover ingredients, so you will have to check for the night from time to time.
The Curry is very interesting since it allows us to restore the precious XP of our characters (to all of them simultaneously), so it is always great to have several Curries in your inventory for the Palaces. But, regarding the reason for this post… yes, it will also increase your Courage when doing the Curry, specifically it will increase you one point.
THERMAL BATHS (WHEN IT RAINS)
This is another method, although I do not recommend it too much because when it rains it is better to take advantage of it to increase Knowledge ; I’ll tell you anyway.
As you surely know, the Yongen-Jaya Thermal Baths allow us to increase our Charm, right? Well, if you go on a rainy day, you will find an old man there who is dedicated to increasing the temperature of the water, so you will get less Charm points justifying that you have cooked a little, but you will also get a Courage point for having submitted to it. at such a temperature
