Trophies

About Trophies
Here is the list of those trophies that I can give some hints.


Drink Fanatic 

Easy trophy. You can simply save the game, and buy all drinks from each vending machine. You don't have to drink them. Any drink you obtained from other place aside from vending machine will not be counted. Once you have obtained the trophy, you can simply reset the game. 

Earliest to complete: 10th October once you have unlocked Strawberry Curry in Akihabara.


Mask of the Honor Student

Pretty easy trophy. I would say the 1st condition to ranked 1 in exam is to have max knowledge. With max knowledge, you are allowed to have like 2~3 mistakes in a single examation if I am not mistaken. There will be a total of 3 examination throughout the whole year. Aside from this trophy, I don't think it's worth spending time purposely on study for the exam unless you are sure you will be able to max your knowledge.

Earliest to complete: Most likely at 3rd exam around December.


The City Hard Hitter

This is probably the easiest side quest trophy you can get. You only need one action to get this trophies, and few times of reset. You will need to move your left analog until the estimated ball's location is above your bat and hope your timing is good enough. Once you get a homeroom out of the 5 times you can considered you are done with this shop. Unlike Guardian of the Pond, you do not need to read the book to get this trophy.

Guardian of the Pond
This one is slightly harder. You will need 4 actions to accomplish this. You will need to to go fishing for the first time. You can unlock the location after Ryuji invited you to fishing. There will be offer that if you go at night, it will be cheaper but less fish, which I think is good enough for you to get this trophy.

1. Your first step is to go fishing for the first time, you can only fish all the small fishes, but that will be good enough cause you can't do much. 
2. Once you have fished once, go to Shibuya's bookstore and buy a Fishpond Spotter book. You will have to take an action to read the book. With this, you can use Third Eye during fishing, where you can see those fish with tags (more points) and Guardian (long gold in color)
3. Then you will need to go fishing again, this time change all your point to Medium bait. Get as many points as possible.
4. Now is the real deal, you will have to change your points for Top Bait (large bait can't catch Guardian!). Unlike Large Bait, Top Bait will attract ALL fishes, so you have to make use no other fishes are nearby. From what I have read, you will have to fish 6 times, then the Guardian will appear. Another option is to wait for torrential rain, this will make the Guardian spawn immediate, which I highly suggest. Try to bait the fish as close as possible, keep cast it back once the Guardian is trying to bite onto the hook. Get it as close as possible.

You don't have to get the best fishing rod, but it will definitely help. I caught it with 2nd fishing pole, and TONS OF RESET. Once you have gotten it, you will get additional points aside from the trophy. I am not sure what you should spend the points on though. :/


Craftworker

This trophy will require you to make all of the crafts. If I were you, I wouldn't spend much time on crafting. ONLY spend all the time to craft lockpick, try to keep at least 3 each time before you explore Mementos/Palace. Once you have sufficient lockpick/Eternal lockpick, don't bother to craft the other tools for this accomplishment. You should have enough time for this.

Tip 1: The night after you have sent the calling card, Morgana will allow you to do this as a preparation for the next day. Aside from this action, you will not be able to do anything else. So you are kinda "forced" to craft unless you don't feel like doing so. 

Tip 2: Try to increase Kawakani's CR as soon as possible. It will gives you chance to have +1 action during class, which is extremely common in Oct-Nov.

Bookworm

There will be 4 places you can get books. The library, each time you have a new member you will get a new book aside from Akechi. Shinjuku, where you will unlocked all of the books around 4th Palace. The books in Shibuya will require you to watch theater, fishing, batting and work as florist for at least once. At lastly 4 books from Jinbocho. Despite how easy it sounds, it will requires you a lot of actions to get this trophy. 

Earliest to complete: MOST LIKELY 2nd playthrough around 7th Palace.

Tip 1: There are some books that add new location for your "date". I highly suggest you to ignore those books/magazines first. So with those that boost social stat/effect (such as fishing/battling) instead. This is because most of the locations will be unlocked once your confidants asked you for a date. And if you will read those books that have their locations unlocked, it will automatically counted as read. It won't take a single action.

Tip 2: Another tips is try to increase Kawakani's CR as soon as possible. It will gives you chance to have +1 action during class, which is extremely common in Oct-Nov.

Tip 3: Always have at least 1~2 unread books with you so you don't waste anytime in class/train. Don't forget to keep return/lend book as soon as possible at the library.

Tip 4: Get Hifumi to CR3. She will date you to Jinbocho. You will eventually need to access here for another 4 books. First 3 books will need 3 Actions while 4th book will take 1 Action. The 4th book will double the speed your finish the book. Sadly, by the time you unlock this skill you would have finish most of the books. So try to keep those books that needs 2 Actions (mostly library books) until you have this skill.
Tip 5: Keep in mind you have to read all the library book before 7th Palace. At 7th Palace, you won't be able to access the school/library. You can keep the last book unread until then though. 

A True Confidant
This trophy will require you to max every single confidant. Read more on Confidants to see how to boost affection faster.
Earliest to complete: MOST LIKELY 2nd playthrough on last day of Mementos.


Mask Collector

This trophy will require you to fuse all ultimate persona from each arcana by maxing all CR. Take note that there's also total 6 Treasure Demons. You will most likely missed out Hope Diamond and Crystal Skull as they are only available in Mementos during 7th Palace. The easiest way to scout both of them would be roaming up and down at area 12 and 13 Sheriruth. You will need to have Shinya at CR1 to use ultimate gun move to down the these demons. You do not need the DLC Persona for the 100% completion.

Earliest to complete: Once you unlocked Group Fusion and fuse Satanael in NG+ (Assuming you have fused all others in 1st playtrough)

A Perfect Job

The quest will requires you to do all quests from Mishima and the confidants. You will also need to work all 4 jobs for at least 2~3 times each to get some of the quests.
Earliest to complete: MORE LIKELY at 2nd playthrough's 7th Palace since you need to get most of the Confidants at CR8.
Tip 1: Read every message from Mishima.

Passionate Listener

Honestly, this is probably the most troublesome trophy to me. I assure you that it does not bring forward to NG+ as I only managed to unlocked this at the end of 6th Palace 2nd playthrough.

Earliest to complete: From what I heard, the earliest should be around 5th Palace. But I would say by the end of the 7th Palace you must unlock this trophy to be on safe side. 

Tip 1: You probably can get these from the net. But basically, try to get each character to down/kill one/two/three etc enemy. Get as many status ailment as possible. Get all 3 quotes from atk/def/evasion down for each character. Do take note that it will only counts if Futaba comments on those. There's a chance she won't make any comment even if your member is inflicted with status. 

Tip 2: Guard will prevent you from most of the ailment. So instead try waste time with switching character (if you have Hifumi's ability) or use item/gun.

Tip 3: Burn and Freeze may be difficult to be inflicted, but Shock is possible. You can try to get Ryuji with Shock Boost. Get an enemy with high HP with no Lightning weakness. Get the enemy Shocked. Any ally who tries to attack a shocked enemy will be inflicted with Shock as well. Unlike other ailment, you can be inflicted with Burn/Freeze even if your member guard.

Tip 4: Take FULL advantage of Akechi during 6th Palace. I would prefer you to put him in the team.

About My Trophies

Just as your reference, I am able to obtain all the remaining trophies at 2nd playthrough. I have obtained:

• Passionate Listener
• A true Confidant
• A Perfect Job
• Bookworm and Golden Finger
• Beyond Rehabilation and Mask Collector (No Action needed)

Within a single playtrough (with Kawakani's NG+ item). I believe adding The City's Hard hitter and Guardian of Pond into the list would not be a problem as well as I have around 15 days at the end extra. My point is, there's no point rushing trophies in your first playthrough. Instead, focus on increasing your Social stat and CR (especially Kawakani as her farewell gift is EXTREMELY useful helping you for trophies).
