Kanji disappears around the 20th of May (5/20). The 20th is a Thursday. Even before he disappears, Dojima-san tells you to keep an eye out for Adachi in Junes. Believe it or not this is a clue, though its not really Adachi your looking for, but I digress.

You see, when Kanji disappears, you will head over to the TV world where your shocked to find that Teddy is having difficulty locating Kanji. To help him out, you need to learn more about the delinquent. To do so you need to find the young man you saw him speaking to just before he was kidnaped. Remember how I said Junes was a clue, well this young man can actually be found in Junes, but not every day. In fact, he is only there Tues., Thurs., and Sat. You need to find him, speak with him, then find Kanji's mom and speak to her, but there's a bit of a trick to this. She will only appear after you speak to the young man, and never on the same day you speak to him. So you have to time it right.

After speaking to the young man, go about your day, maybe go to work or do whatever you want that day, keep in mind that your friends, and a few others won't be available yet. On the next day, go to the textile shop. Kanji's mom should be right outside, if she isn't, go about your day as you normally would, if she is, speak to her first. Finally, on the next Tues., Thurs., or Sat. Find the young man and speak with him again. He'll give you the clue you need to hand over to Teddy. You can hop into the TV right away to hand over the clue and gain access to the bathhouse, or wait until it is most convenient. You should have access to your friends and other social links once you have the clue, but I shared it with Teddy right away, so I'm not sure.

If you do the above quickly you may have a bit more time. If your slower you may not have as much time. This is the date I started and should be a good amount of time to get this dungeon done and dusted. I'm still on this date.

The first two floors are fairly easy. Keep in mind that each floor is generated randomly by the game, just like with the previous dungeon. There will be chests to open and some fairly easy shadows to beat. There is a cutscene where the party gets their first glimpse of Kanji's shadow, but this all that is of note. On my playthrough on easy I was easily able to reach this floor in one afternoon. As with all dungeons, mind your time and watch your party.

After a few days I came back and got up to floor seven. On this floor you will encounter a sub boss. He isn't too difficult. I does appear to have an instant kill skill, and my use it against your female party members. Best to have some revival beads on you. He does nullify light-based skills, and I was not able to find a weakness, though darkness wasn't tested. I'll put the output of his analysis below

After reaching the 10th floor you will encounter Kanji and his shadow. Prepare for a fight! My strategy, however, was to get to the last floor by 6/3 that allowed me to take on these boss's with full HP/SP. The results of the analysis are below. Keep in mind that these guys appear to target female party members more, have opposing weaknesses, and can block each other's weaknesses. This makes for a challenging fight even on lower difficulties. The fight is far from impossible especially for a fully rested party.

One final note: These bosses can cast poison and rage on the whole party. In my playthrough rage seemed to effect the female party members while males were less effected. Poison appeared to work the opposite. I'll update this when I have a chance to test it in other playthroughs

On this date you will get a cutscene before school introducing you to a new job, the Tutor job. This is a job that you can go to at night, tues., thurs., and sat. it pays very well (10,000 yen per day), but requires high understanding.

There is a quiz in class today. This is a fairly easy question as long as you are paying attention. If you want to skip the dialog, however, the answer is, "attendance logs".

The mail order show starts. You can order things from the TV in your room. Watch for deals on Sun., Mon., and Tues.

Kanji returns! You will now have a few cutscenes to go through where the party will welcome Kanji to their group and discuss the case thus far. Congratulations on finishing the bathhouse!

Your afternoons will be spent in discussing the cases so far.

There is a lecture today. There will be a question, the answer to which is "balance beam".

You'll get your license today and you are gifted a scooter. You can practice riding it and unlock other areas to travel from doing so.

There is a quiz this day too, the answer is "cheerfulness in a group". You will have a pick up (as in pickup a girl) contest after school today.

Camp out day one, it should be noted none of your usual ways of spending time will be available, its all story at cutscenes, just sit back and let the game hold your hands for a bit

Rise makes a TV announcement. The party suspects she might be the next victim. There is a quiz this day to, the answer is "Meiji". There is a special boss in the bathhouse. Things are about to shift, so this may be your last chance to take care of it.

After the party begin to suspect that Rise may be the next target, she begins to appear on the Midnight Channel. Unlike before, they will immediately identify her. Like before, they will not be able to save her, so it will be off to the TV for you.

Like with Kanji, Teddy has difficulty pinpointing Rise in the TV world even after her program begins on the Midnight Channel. He asks you to go get more information about her. You need to ask around town to find out more about Rise. You can start with either the tofu shop she works at where the old lady tells you about the paparazzo hanging around or you can start at the school where you can speak to a chubby man at Practice Building 2F who tells you a bit more about Rise and also advises you to speak with someone in the media. Either way you will eventually have to speak to both of them. Once you do, you will be advise to look for paparazzi at the flood plain. You won't find any yet, but the "kind man" there will advise you to look tomorrow.

Now you can head back to the flood plain and find the "photographer" (if you don't want to/can't do this today, note that the "photographer" is only there Tues., Thurs., and Sat.). Give the man two pieces of info about Rise, basically all options except that she is in town. With this, he gives you enough information that Teddy should be able to pinpoint Rise. Take this information back to the TV to unlock the dungeon.

You have a couple of weeks to save Rise from her shadow. Marukyu Striptease, like the previous two dungeons is roughly 10 floors with a final fight on the next floor after that. There are many different types of shadows and they will begin introducing shadows that nullify or even repel certain elemental attacks. Stay on your toes. Keep a full and diverse party. You can decide what role the main character plays, but I kept him as my Lightning, Dark, and Light damage dealer. Also relay on the analysis option to keep everything sraight. You don't want to accidently use a repelling element. At about 7F you will be met with a sub-boss. This fight shouldn't be too difficult, but a fresh party would be helpful as it will likely start with stagnant air (to increase suseptibility for ailments) and will attempt to poison your party. Here are its full stats as reported by analysis after scanning for weaknesses and strengths.

After this fight the floor mazes will start to get a bit more complicated, and you'll be dealing with some more difficult shadows. Be very careful as one of them will repel dark, if you aren't careful you could end up instant KOing yourself (leading to an instant game over). After completing ten floors, I suggest leaving and coming back another day so you are well rested for a two part fight.

Shadow Rise has no weaknesses, but is more than capable of taking advantage of your weaknesses. She is able to use any basic elemental attack. I did not see evidence of light or dark attacks. At a certain point in the fight she will begin to analyze you (yeah I didn't see this coming at all). When this happens you will be unable to hit her. Just keep guarding for a few more turns to trigger dialog and a surprise twist.

It is after the twist that the real fight begins. Shadow Rise, was pretty easy actually, now its time for Shadow Teddie! This will be a real fight. Like Shadow Rise, Teddie has no weaknesses. He will also attempt to lower your party's defenses right away and inflict other ailments. Eventually he will begin charging attacks. At these points, make sure all party members are guarding when the message "Shadow Teddie is charging up" is displayed. You will block the attack fully. Careful though! Shadow Teddie will attempt to inflict dizzy on a party member, or two, before charging up.

So Teddie joins the party in a new capacity and new form (yeah that was also surprising) and our super cute idol Rise will join the party. She replaces Teddie as your analyst, however, so don't expect her to be fighting alongside you. Your homeroom teacher was murdered last night and his story appears today on the news.

You get a new homeroom teacher. Brace yourself for that, by the way, she isn't exactly any better than your last. Also, brace yourself for a barrage of cutscenes as everyone discusses the case so far.

To help you prepare for next week's finals, you will have a series of pop quizzes. The answers are relatively easy though if you pay attention in class, you do pay attention, don't you? Well, since this isn't a real school, I guess I can let you look at my answers!

Enjoy your weekend!

Finals week is here. Again, just because this is a game and not a real class, I'll let you look at my notes, but you really should just be paying attention in class.

The last day of this, and every exam, gives you some idea about how you will do, there are no questions to answer.

You will meet to discuss the case a bit more. Pick "formaldehyde" when asked.

Time for a new midnight TV, nothing else happens. Just sit back and enjoy the story. In fact you can sit back for two days! You will meet the next day to try and figure out who the boy is. Actually you probably should sit around the second day. You should go talk to Kanji real quick on the second day you'll need to do this if you want to open the next dungeon quickly.

If you couldn't or didn't talk to Kanji, you should be able to do so now, also take his suggestion and talk to Doujima, though it doesn't seem helpful, you can actually use this to get some info out of Adachi, but not on the first day as he is probably not available. Better wait until the second, you'll learn from Adachi that the boy was a part-timer at one of the shops. In fact, it was Souzai Daigaku in the north section of the shopping district (the steak place). Once you talk to the owner there, you should see a boy with blonde hair and a school bag hanging around the tofu shop. You'll get a yearbook photo of the culprit from him. This will be all Rise needs to track him down. If, for some reason, he does not appear, the boy will appear again on 8/1, make sure you have completed all the steps above, before that time. I don't know when he'll show up again, but he does not show up on every day.

This dungeon is modeled after an old point-and-click-adventure game, or maybe an 8-bit RPG brought into a 3-D world, one of those two. If you have been leveling diligently, the shadows here will probably be pretty easy. Just, as always, watch your HP and SP and pace yourself. You have about two weeks to complete this dungeon. Chapter 3 and Chapter 7 will probably confuse you. Chapter three looks like a dead end, but you will be teleported around if you get close to some of the walls. Just be mindful of where you've been and how you got there to avoid backtracking and you should make it to the stairs. Chapter 7 will try to confuse you by moving your move direction and camera around on you. Just gotta power through that one, eventually you'll get to the stairs. There are no sub-bosses in this dungeon, but there is a fairly interesting, and tricky boss fight!

This dungeon is fashioned after an old-school RPG. At the beginning of this fight, Mitsuo will start by building his character. This creates the boxy shell known as Mitsuo the Hero. Mitsuo the Hero uses powerful attacks straight out of an RPG, including an old-style UI for you to enjoy. You must destroy this shell before you can hurt Shadow Mitsuo himself. Keep in mind Shadow Mitsuo a wall during the fight and will attack with the Ma-spell that matches it. Be mindful of your party's weaknesses and try to counter when you can. He will also attempt to rebuild his character, but you will have some warning when this is about to happen. Aside from being mindful of your weaknesses, there isn't much to this fight and you should not have too much difficulty winning.

Your evening, however, will be spent with a lively "victory" dinner with Doujima, Nanako, and Adachi.

You will be given the opportunity to work at Junes to help Yosuke out. This will earn you 40,000 yen (by the way you'll also get 40,000 for Doujima if you talk to him at the right moment before this day). It will also net you some S-Link points for Chie and Yosuke. However, this all does come with a price. That is you will skip the entire week, so you won't be able to do anything else. It is a good way to fast track some boring days though. Its up to you if its worth it or not.

This is a story telling day. You'll attend the first day of the summer festival with friends. Enjoy the cutscenes!

You will have a different choice given to you at the beginning of each of these days. If you choose to do any of these, they will take the whole day, but will offer you new scenes or potentially boasts to your S-Links. One of the choices that pops up will be to help Nanako with her summer assignments, which will take your evenings as well for the next few days.

This is the last day to finish your summer assignments. The game is going to force you to spend the daytime hours finishing them up. If you chose to help Nanako you will spend your evening with her, so this day will probably be a wash. Fortunately, it also happens to be the last day you'll need to help Nanako.

Prepare yourself for a lot of story scenes. First, you'll have the fireworks festival, this will take all of the first day. Second, you will have some watermelon to eat with Nanako and your friends. This takes the daylight hours of the second day.

School is bake in session! Welcome to your second term! Naoto, the boy detective will also come to school for the next few days, including the school trip. You'll also spend your after school hours talking with Naoto over recent events, so more story!

Nothing of particular note here. You're finally free to do almost whatever you want. You will receive a quiz on the second to last day in this stretch. The answer is Brisk. The last day here will inform you of a powerful new shadow in the game that you can optionally fight!

Watch out for elemental skills! Will also cast "Stagnant Air" and "Mudon". Remember, "Mudon" is an instant KO dark skill, if this hits the party leader, it will be a game over. It is best to make sure your party leader, if not the entire party, is immune to dark.

You will have after school on 9/7 to yourself, but your evening will be taken up by getting ready for the school trip. The school trip itself lasts from 9/8-9/10 and is all story, so just sit back and relax again. You will be home by 9/11.

A special report will be shown on TV. This report talks about the case and, most importantly, about Naoto. It will take away your evening though, so plan accordingly.

Time to discuss what everyone saw on the Midnight Channel after school. You'll also get the game's first back-to-back midnight channels and discovered that Naoto has gotten themselves thrown into the TV.

Time to talk about the more clear transmission everyone got to see. Even though you and everyone else is aware of who is in the other world, Rise still has a bit of trouble discovering where they are. You'll have to look for clues. Fortunately I'll tell you the steps you need to take to find the clues you need. First you will need to head back to school. There is someone on the first floor, between classes 1-1 and 1-2 that heard a rumor about another student which had something of Naoto's. That student was spotted near the science labs, and, fortunately, is still there. This girl will tell you that she heard Naoto yelling and a police officer. Looks like you'll have to talk to one. Now there is currently one in the north end of the shopping district, but he won't talk to you. You need a reason for him to listen. Chie will give you an idea. Now I didn't know about this step on this day, so I talked to her on 9/17, but you should be able to talk to her today and then the first officer will give you your first clue, but I'll give you the events as I did them. You will also learn that another officer appears on the south end of the shopping district Tues, Thurs, and Sat, if you speak to the right NPC in the north end. They're near the police officer.

There's a quiz today. The answer is 40 minutes. Once school is out, head over to the flood plains (if you didn't/couldn't talk to Chie yesterday) and find Chie. She tells you what to say when you talk to the polices officers. Now you can find the officer in the south end of the shopping district. If you were able to talk to Chie already you can head directly to this officer and get your second clue. If you were not able to talk to her this is only your first clue. You need two clues to present to Rise before you can go looking for Naoto.

I'm going to put what you need to do to get into the next dungeon here, just note it seems its possible to do this in a different order and maybe get in a day earlier. If you only have one clue, find the other officer in the north end of the shopping district again and talk to him to get the second clue. Now head back to Junes and report to Rise. Tell her that Naoto is tired of being treated like a child and obsessed with this case. That'll be enough for you to start your exploration of the Secret Lab!

This dungeon is not as straightforward as the others, but doesn't present the same kind of challenge as the Void Quest. When you get to around B4F, yes in this dungeon your go downstairs instead of up, but that's not the real twist, you will come across a locked door. unfortunately something you need is behind that door. You'll have to go down a few more floors before you find a chest with an ID Card. Likely, this floor will also have a locked door but this ID Card doesn't unlock that door. You'll have to go back to the first locked door and use this item to open it to get access to a sub-boss which will have the key you need to open the second door. Yeah it's really that confusing.

This is not a particularly difficult fight. It will buff its attack, this is usually an indicator that he will perform Herculean Strike, which is a power physical attack. I was able to freeze it up by debuffing attack after its buff. Do this a few times and follow up with your most powerful attacks and the fight should be over with out you taking much damage.

Once you have the second key and take it to the second door you'll be able to proceed again. You'll find Naoto on B9F. Enjoy learned a bit more about them before you fight their shadow.

Naoto doesn't really fight fair. As seems to be the norm with boss fights now, they have no weakness to speak of, but will nullify your party's resistances as well. Furthermore, while they also don't seem to have any light/dark skills, they do still have one instant kill skill. You'll want to make sure some of your party are able to survive a death blow (usually acquired at high enough S-Rank). When their HP gets low, they will start using Mute Ray which casts silence and steals both HP and SP from a single target. This is a difficult fight, but, if you focus on your strongest party and keep everyone's HP high you should be able to win. Also watch when everyone is buffed/debuffed and plan you attacks just right for the best damage possible.

Just a few quizzes to take note of:

You can choose to hang out with the girls today. You don't have to, but you do get a few fun scenes while you are out shopping with them. Kanji even joins you, though Yosuke seems to have been smart enough not to show. If you do choose this, you will gain S-Link for all the girls and Kanji. Might help you with the S-Rank.

This is a series of story scenes that will take your after school time. It will start with discussing with Naoto what happened when they were kidnapped. They know quite a lot of details, but you will still have wait for another victim to come forward to investigate further. After getting Naoto-kun's reports, you will be helping Yosuke and Rise with a concert. The concert is on 10/10, but you'll spend a few days preparing. Just enjoy the scenes. The event even has a nice animated scene. There is one quiz during these day, on 10/08. The answer is pretty obvious, but I'll tell you anyway, it's: chicken. It should be noted that your evenings are still free, so use this time to finish up Nanako's S-Link or spend time with everyone in the evening.

Your after school hours are still not yours. You agree to study with everyone. Naoto will likely ask you to go into the TV when you get back home, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow. Good news is, this means you'll be free to do what you want tomorrow. There is a quiz today too, the answer is: glass jars.

A nice Halloween-themed quiz. The answer is: turnips (imagine carving those!). You'll be notified that a new strong shadow has appeared in the lab. Now is a good time to go back if you don't have anything else to do.

Everything is basically back to your normal rhythm. One more quiz, they'll be ramping up since your exams are coming up again. The answer is: ojisan.

With exception of 10/16, which is a Sunday, you will spend the next few days in school answering questions on your midterm exams. You are normally free in the evening, but may not be free during the after school hours. As such, it is a good idea to have fought the above special boss before this date. You could have 10/16. but you will be asked to join a study group, so, if you haven't fought the boss by now, it will be a toss up between enhancing S-Ranks and completing the boss. There will be sometime after exams, however. I'm not going to give you the questions on your exams as the questions and answers can't co-exist in the same area without endangering all of humanity. I will give you the answers though:

(* Day 4/Q1 I got wrong in this playthrough, you'll still get top marks for this, but I can only say Wasan Shoujo is not the right answer)

The last day has no questions. You'll be given a general sense of how you feel you did and the day will end. Your exams on now over, hope you did well. You will receive a mysterious letter, which gives you something to talk about with your friends in the morning, but that is it.

You will be given an opportunity to vote for an activity for your class to host during the culture festival this weekend. As this is the first time I played this far, I'm not sure if your choice actually matters. To be funny, I just chose the "group date cafe" let me know if you picked something different and how that turned out!

You get your test results today. If you answered all the questions with the answers I gave you, then you'll get top marks and all of your school friends will be impressed. This will increase all their S-Ranks.

The culture festival will be starting at the end of this week, and guess which class completely forgot about it? Yeah, yours! So, now you'll be spending a few days, including after school hours, preparing for the culture festival. If you have anything you want to get done in the TV do it before now, or you'll have to wait until next week.

The culture festival itself. This is just a compilation of some really fun scenes. You will lose more time and you'll want to be prepared for a long set of cutscenes. There will not be many opportunities to save once the culture festival starts. In fact, your next chance will be after the hot springs visit on 10/30. Make sure you block out plenty of time to get through these scenes!

You'll get an extra day off. You can save and do whatever, but, if you want everyone's Halloween costumes, you're going to have to help Yosuke out and Junes. This whole thing is a wash and all you get are the outfits though, so its up to you.

Nothing of note really, just a quiz, the answer is: geometric shapes

Another quiz (the answer is: Cuckoo), another person on the midnight channel. Though no one is certain yet, it is pretty clear who the next victim is going to be.

The story is beginning to reach its climax! There are a lot of scenes this day and little else. However the culprit of all the murders (save one) as well as everyone being thrown into the TV world is identified during these scenes. The culprit also kidnaps his next victim. With all this happening so quickly there is no need for any further investigation. Head into the TV and begin your search for the culprit and his next victim! Starting now, Nanoko will no longer be available, be sure her S-Link is maxed by now.

Once you reach Paradise #7 you will encounter your first sub-boss. This is not a difficult fight, but be prepared nonetheless!

You will confront the culprit on Paradise #10. This fight is a bit more tricky. The main boss has a full range of elemental attacks, so be mindful of everyone's weaknesses and do your best to cover them with shields or items. It appears the "atmosphere" will change before the boss switches elemental attacks. He also has a very power physical attack and can control your party members. Be careful!

Not much happens at school during this time. If you have any job or club S-Links to finish now is a good time to do this, especially if you aren't having any difficulty in the dungeon. It is also an excellent time to work on skills. On these two day, there are two quizzes, the only thing you have to worry about until 11/20. The answer to 11/07's quiz is "no country" while the answer to 11/10's quiz is "Namib".

You can now visit Nanako. The culprit is also up, and a new mystery fills the town, literally. There are a few quizes during this time as well. I'll give you the answer by day in a moment. First, I wanted to note that every day during this range gives you the opprotunity to visit Nanako. You can choose not to at any point, but visiting her will raise several S-Links and visiting her at least three time will earn you an achievement. It might be worth it to visit her at least those three times. You have to talk to different party members in order to visit her though. The table will tell you the quiz answer and/or who to speak to to visit Nanako (if applicable).

Time for another finals week and another table! Two tables back-to-back must be a record for this guide! This will hold the two answers you need for you finals by date.

This is the last day of exams so there are no questions, you just get a general feel for how you did. Your afternoon, however, will be taken up by several scenes. A Warning: You can end the game right now if you are not careful. There is, however, many days left in the game, so be careful, unless you want to see the bad endings. To continue the story make sure you select the following:

1. Wait a second here…
2. We're missing something.
3. Namatame's true feelings.
4. Something's bothering me
5. We're missing something…
6. Calm the hell down!

This will buy you at least a couple more days. You will have no choice but to sleep this evening, so go to your room. You'll be warned that tomorrow is a day of reflection.

And today is that day of reflection. You'll meet with your friends to discuss the case. Here you can kind of just go with the flow. After the scenes, you will go home and be forced to sleep again.

Now that your caught up on the case again. It is time to gather some more information. Ask around town about the two murders. First speak to a woman by the shrine. She mentions something about a suspicious person. You can now ask around about suspicious people. Go Junes and talk to a student there who mentions her friend may have saw someone suspicious. Go back to the shopping district and talk to the student in front of Yosuke. Nothing happens! Keep asking everyone else about suspicious people and the murders. The game pretty much forces you to talk to everyone available in town before everyone gathers to go over the case again.

Once again, you'll have to be careful! As you talk with Naoto, you'll be able to drop a name. The game gives you literally everyone you know as an option. All but one of these name is wrong and may lead you to another bad ending, so pick Adachi, come on, he's the only one that really fits all the criteria. Picking him will let the story continue again.

More days taken up with story and evenings where you can only go to sleep. While there isn't much to do for the first two days a lot does happen. The path forward becomes quite clear, literally.

It seems that the deadline for this dungeon is given to you during one of the scenes. This dungeon, as you can imagine, won't be like any of the others thus far considering who created it. For me, I got to a dead end around the second level and ended up having to fall down a hole. I'm sure this will happen to everyone, I just can't guarantee it will happen on the same floor for everyone 😅

After jumping down the hole, you will be in a new area. At some point you'll have to avoid all encounters with Shadows. This is a requirement, if you do start an encounter, you will be sent back to the starting room, so just don't do it! If you do manage not to encounter any Shadows, you will have to fight your first sub-boss, though I'm not really sure I should call it that, it really isn't that hard. The stats table is still provided, and I should note, they it does tend to summon new mobs, including lesser copies of itself.

Shortly after this you will encounter another sub-boss.

After this encounter, you'll be notified that it looks like something changed in the other area. Go back to the Inaba section and continue on to the floor with the hole. Don't jump back down the hole! You should be able to access the exit now. This will take you to the final floor and your next boss fight. Now might be a good time to leave the TV world to regroup and resupply. This is actually a two-phase fight and you will want to make sure you are prepared!

So, Adachi has a persona! This surprises the party, but shouldn't be much of a surprise to you, right? Anyway, this does mean that he can use a lot of the skills and powers that your party members can use. Be mindful of your weaknesses. Also, Mundo, is one of those skills! Remember, this is an instant kill, dark skill (if you're anything like me it and Hamon have been your bestfriends up until this point). This isn't a huge problem as your should have someone who can revive your part members, but, be very careful with the MC, his death, as always, results in an instant game over! If you have worked on some of your S-Links and chose your party well, he might survive, but if you have a persona that nullifies dark, this is the best insurance.

Amano-sagiri seems to use mostly fire and wind attacks, but he does have a fully upgraded fire attack that is quite devastating. Also, watch out for the confusing fog. This singles a series of buffs followed by a powerful party attack. If you are caught unprepared, you may lose your entire party. I always just guarded whenever I saw the fog and kept guarding until the attack was launched.

Just a couple pop quizzes here.

You can spend Christmas Eve with your girlfriend. This will replace all other activities this day.

Now you its time for more story scenes. You'll spend Christmas with your family

Some more scenes as you visit the shrine for the end of the year. You will also be able to choose a girl to visit the shrine with (this appears to come from anyone your dating, so, depending on how much of a player you are, you might get multiple invites). The next day is for spending with family and you'll be tasked with going around for your New Years greetings. You'll basically have to go around and talk to everyone you've connected with, except Marie. Something different happens when you visit the velvet room. You also start feeling under the weather through all this and will collapse on the last day. Teddy moved in with you and will take care of you.

You get a few more scenes then your told to work on you S-Links to prepare to locate/rescue Marie. You'll be over your cold by this date.

Two quizzes in this timeframe!

Nanako comes home and you will spend one day picking her home and another celebrating her return. This will limit your actions on these days.

Another update about Marie and another quiz. The answer to the quiz is: red.

You can choose to help Nanako catch up with homework for the next few evenings. This will eat up your evening time for the next three weeks! There isn't much benefit to this other than always having something to do during the evening, but will limit your choices. The scenes are kind of cute though. Up to you!

Just a few quizzes.

Your advancement exams start today. Like all other exams, you will spend these days answering questions. Unlike those exams this one has questions from the entire last year! Don't worry though, there in the table below along with their answers. You're welcome!

Now that placement exams are over, time for a trip! These two days are filled with story scenes. Just sit back and enjoy everyone spending time with you before you leave. Also Marie is finally found and a new dungeon opens!

This dungeon is unique for a few different reasons:

1. You do not enter this dungeon from Junes!
2. This dungeon is only available for one day
3. You cannot bring items you have collected from other dungeons or elsewhere in the game into this dungeon
4. On some floors encounters work as they do in other dungeons, but on others you will not see shadows on the map, they will only attack when you open doors.
5. You lose half your SP after each fight
6. You gain SP during fights
7. No encounter gives you money except certain golden hands.
8. Goho-M's (which aren't available) and "escape skills" will not work, only "sacred branches" will allow you to leave.

With these in mind it is best to pace yourself and pop back to the entrance strategically. You may use your items in the entrance and these can be used to restore HP/SP and you can switch out tired party members, or, potentially, use the fox for healing. Just remember, the fox's healing is not cheap. You can also use some encounters to simply regain SP, but this is not ideal since you will still lose some after the encounter and you don't get SP back quickly.

Do NOT leave the dungeon without saving Marie! This will result in a bad ending. You have been warned!

The stats for Marie listed above are her starting stats. She will change her stats to essentially match Kusumi-no-Okami's at some point in the fight, however, you don't have to worry about this fight. Marie herself will end this fight after a few turns. For Kusumi-no-Okami, you will notice she repels all attacks. You can damage her with Almighty attacks, however, this will likely take a lot of SP and time. What I did was use items (or you can also use skills) that nullify her repels. This will basically poke holes her her defenses that you can exploit to do a lot more damage. Monitor these affinities though to make sure you don't accidentally damage yourself. Her skills are all party skills, but they aren't particularly devastating. You may want to have a dedicated healer though as, in combinations, like "hot lightening" followed by "run amok" they can do quite a lot of damage to the whole party. Keep everyone healed up and watch their SP and you should be able to beat her fairly easily.

Story time! Just spend some time with your favorite girl, or whatever. I'm actually not sure how these scenes play out if you don't have a favorite girl, but you'll probably still get to enjoy Marie and Nanako's company at least.

Yep, this is a kind of time skip. Some images of new memories made with your friends flash by, but otherwise time just passes by uneventfully.

This is your last day with your friends in Inaba. Best make the most of it, even if you kind of have to.
