by Knowledge is one of the 5 social statistics of Persona 5 Royal and it is the one that determines how cultured our Joker is . This is something that will be noticed above all in the performance that it has in the exams, although it will also be useful to improve the relationship with some confidants.
The truth is that it is not a very difficult statistic to raise, in fact I would tell you that it is perhaps the easiest to increase of all the 5 because we have many different options to improve it.
The question kit in this statistic is knowing how to optimize it to the maximum, so in this post I will teach you everything you can obtain through Knowledge and all the methods to increase it; and not only that, I will also give you several tips so that you know when you should do things and when not. So nothing, here we go!
WHY DO YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE?
Knowledge will allow Joker to get better grades in exams ; In addition, having good results will give us Charm points. Keep in mind that despite the fact that the exams depend a lot on us as players answering the questions correctly, the level of Knowledge that the player has is also taken into account.
This statistic has another use and it is to unlock certain ranks of certain confidants:
- Makoto Nijima :
- Unlocked Rank: 1 – Prerequisite: Knowledge Rank 3.
- Goro Akechi :
- Unlocked Rank: 1 – Prerequisite: Rank 3 Knowledge and 3 Courage.
- Unlocked Rank: 7 – Prerequisite: Knowledge Rank 4.
- Hifumi Togo : This Confidant will also help us increase Knowledge.
- Unlocked Rank: 8 – Prerequisite: Knowledge Rank 5.
THE IMPORTANCE OF RAIN
Before we get into all the ways to increase Knowledge, I think it is important to mention how Rain affects in order to raise this social stat.
When it rains we will obtain additional Knowledge points when carrying out actions that involve studying, specifically we will obtain 1 additional point when we fulfill that condition. This means that the best time to study is when it rains , so my recommendation is that when it rains you take advantage of it (when it doesn’t rain it’s better to do other things).
HOW TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE
These are all the methods to increase Knowledge in Persona 5 Royal:
CORRECTLY ANSWER THE TEACHERS’ QUESTIONS
This is undoubtedly the best method to increase your Knowledge since throughout our game the teachers will ask us many questions in class and how we will obtain 1 Knowledge point (1 Charm when we help Ann with the questions they ask her , only this happens much less), because in the long run we will obtain many points for “free” (I mean that you will not have to spend time for it).
STUDY
Studying is, to no one’s surprise, essential if we want to increase Knowledge in Persona 5 Royal. These are all the study actions that you can perform and their differences; and remember that the ideal is to study when it rains.
STUDY AT THE LEBLANC
- Knowledge Points Gained: 2 (3 if it rains).
The most basic method and the one that we will usually perform the most. It is enough to interact with the tables on the ground floor of the Leblanc as long as there are no customers still sitting (if there are, you just have to talk to them “x” times until they leave).
You can only do it at night, but remember that if you have gone to “Mementos” or a Palace, Morgana’s annoying will not let you do anything because it will say that you are tired.
STUDY AT THE SHUJIN INSTITUTE LIBRARY
- Knowledge Points Obtained: 2 (3 if it rains) (-1 point at the beginning, now I explain it)
The Shujin Institute Library is of course another option to consider, you can go there in the afternoon when classes are over. Of course, it is important that you know that if what you are interested in is increasing Knowledge, it may not be the best way unless you have passed the first Palace of the game .
This is because before passing the first Palace to us, the Library students will be whispering bad things about us, so Joker won’t be able to fully concentrate, so you will get only 1 Knowledge point (2 if it rains). The good thing about this is that for having the determination to be studying under that pressure (with people distracting us with their criticism), we will also obtain a point of Courage. This is a very good way to improve your Courage stat early in the game, as it will be quite difficult to get up early on.
After clearing the Palace, everything returns to normal: 2 Knowledge points for the session and 3 in the event that it rains.
In any case, it seems more advisable to study at night to be able to take advantage of the afternoon for other more important things, such as meeting the Confidants and so on. In any case, I insist, it is best to study when it rains.
STUDY AT SHIBUYA RESTAURANT
- Knowledge Points Gained: 1 (2 if it rains) (+1 other stat point)
The Shibuya Restaurant is an interesting option if you want to increase Knowledge while also increasing another stat that you need . By performing this action, you will always gain 1 Knowledge point (2 if it rains), but depending on the menu you choose, you will also gain 1 point of another stat:
- Surprise Sandwich :
- Cost: 700 yen.
- Points Awarded: 1 Courage.
- Nostalgic Steak :
- Cost: 1100 yen.
- Points Awarded: 1 Kindness.
- Fru-Tea :
- Cost: 800 Yen.
- Points Awarded: 1 Charm.
- Unlocked Day: July 1st.
- Totem pole :
- Cost: 900 Yen.
- Points Awarded: 1 Dexterity.
- Unlocked Day: September 28.
STUDY WITH CONFIDANTS
- Knowledge Points Gained: Depends.
From time to time, especially when exams are coming up, your Confidants will tell you to meet up to study. It is interesting to accept since you will obtain Knowledge and sometimes it will also improve your relationship with them and remember that in Persona 5 Royal your level of friendship with the Confidants is more important than the social statistics (which does not imply that these are not important).
PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS
- Knowledge Points Gained: 2.
This is something we will unlock by reaching Relationship Rank 1 with Sadayo Kawakami (you need Courage level 3 to unlock it). We will obtain a passive ability that will allow us to perform certain actions during some of the classes that Kawakami gives us. The fact is that one of the options we have is to choose to pay attention to the class, which will give us Knowledge points.
HIFUMI TOGO
This is a very interesting Confidant if you are interested in increasing your Knowledge since by meeting her , in most cases we will obtain 1 Knowledge point in passing.
You can unlock it by beating Kaneshiro ‘s Palace as long as your Charm level is at least 3. You will find it in the Church.
BIG BANG BURGER CHALLENGE
You can find the Big Bang Burger in Shibuya and despite the fact that doing the food challenge there gives us Courage instead of Knowledge… we will obtain Knowledge by overcoming each of the challenges (which can only happen once per challenge, each time there will be more complicated challenges). The good thing is that by overcoming the challenge we will obtain other statistics in addition to Knowledge and Courage; but since this post is about Knowledge, we will focus on seeing how many points we will get from this statistic by overcoming each challenge:
- Challenge 1: 1 Knowledge point.
- Challenge 2: 2 Knowledge points.
- Challenge 3: 3 Knowledge points.
BOOKS, MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES
As with the other statistics, these 3 methods will also allow us to obtain more Knowledge (it will depend on the Book, Movie or Videogame in question). But… in this case, I wouldn’t recommend it too much unless you don’t have anything else to do at the moment because as you’ve seen, you have many ways to get Knowledge through other ways and it’s better that you dedicate these types of activities to increasing others. social statistics.
