You can only begin most Social Links you find in Persona 3 Reload by completing particular tasks, with finding a Persimmon Tree somewhere on your school’s campus is one of them.
It’s honestly well hidden, considering it’s a big old tree in the middle of nowhere, and I passed it myself a few times before I finally found it.
Persimmon Tree Location in Persona 3 Reload
The task to unlock the Persimmon Tree in Persona 3 Reload comes from the Hierophant Social Link with the Old Couple on the 1st floor of the Iwatodia Strip Mall. The area opens a little bit into the game and can unlock randomly. When you meet the couple for the first time, they task you with finding a Persimmon Tree at Gekkoukan High School but won’t tell you where it is.
With the Hierophant Social link, and all other social links for that matter, it’s important to max them out, as it unlocks Personas and skills.
To find the Persimmon Tree, first head to Gekkoukan High School. From there, open up the area’s map using the L1 button on PS Controllers or the LB Button on Xbox Controllers.
From here, you want to go towards the area known as Corridor, which will spawn you in a tiny and packed area with a single entrance and exit. Moving forward, turn left, which brings you to a small open space with a singular tree.
While this tree might not be interactable initially, if you talk to the female student beside it, she will give you information about it. This helps your character realize it is the tree they are after.
It’s then a simple case of walking to the tree and interacting with it. Doing so gives you the item Persimmon Leaf, which you can take back to the Old Couple in the bookstore to complete the task.
The bookstore is closed on Mondays.
Doing so unlocks the Hierophant Arcana Skill Tree option and allows you to fuse and create a Hierophant Persona for use in Tartarus, the world’s main battle maze. You can then go through the Old Couple’s social story as and when you want to rank it up.
There you have it! You know everything you need to locate the Persimmon Tree in Persona 3 Reload. Enjoy!
