Persona5: The Phantom X – Persona 3 Reload Special Event: Met by Moonlight: Ice-Cold Empress

A hidden hour exists between one day and the next. The Dark Hour. The massive tower Tartarus appears during this Dark Hour, infested with Shadows. In this story, the Phantom Thieves from Persona5: The Phantom X wander into a place resembling Tartarus and encounter and fight alongside the members of S.E.E.S. from Persona 3 Reload. Clear the main story of the P3R special event, available with this update, to earn rewards such as Meta Jewels and Platinum Milicoins.

After regaining the power of her Persona, Riko senses that all the Phantom Thieves have been brought into this world, even though none of them should be here in the first place. As the group searches for their separated companions amid the unfolding anomaly, they encounter Shun Kano and Mitsuru Kirijo battling a Shadow that appears to be some sort of "gatekeeper".

In Recollections Under Moonlight, defeat the powerful boss to unlock the next level. You can spend stamina to take on previously cleared levels in Stamina Mode. Clear them in Stamina Mode to obtain Wheel of Time: Full Moon, which can be used at the Exchange Shop.
