Persona 3 Reload: Mitsuru (Empress) Social Link guide

Mitsuru Kirijo is one of the final Social Links you can unlock in Persona 3 Reload. It won’t unlock for quite some time through the main story, so don’t worry if you feel like it’s taking forever for you to get a chance.

Mitsuru is an early party member you unlock to your Persona 3 Reload team. Before making her a full party member, she’s the navigator, leading you through Tartarus and ensuring you and your team can make it out alive. When you unlock her Social Link, you can become a romantic interest. Here’s what you need to know about how to unlock and how to maximize Mitsuru Kirijo’s Social Link in Persona 3 Reload.

How to unlock Mitsuru Kirijo Social Link in Persona 3 Reload

You unlock the opportunity to reach Mutsuru’s Social Link by progressing through the story of Persona 3 Reload, and it becomes available after the school trip to Kyoto on Nov. 21. You can speak with Mitsuru after school on the first floor. However, your Academics must be at rank six before you can speak with her.

You can prepare for speaking with Mitsuru by slowly stacking up your character’s Academics throughout the year. Thankfully, unlike Fuuka or Yukari, you only need Academics in November, so you don’t have to feel rushed to maximize this Social Skill. I mistakenly did it far too early, well before I could speak with Mitsuru, and I would have done it later in my playthrough in the future.
