Perhaps the first thing players want to know in Persona 3 Reload is how they can unlock all floors in Tartarus. Even without knowing that it has over 200 floors, watching Tartarus rise out of Gekkoukan High makes it seem like an intimidating climb. But the towering dungeon is easier to get around in this time.

Moreover, P3 Reload’s version of Monad can be prepared for in advance. These ultra-hard levels-within-levels have no mini maps to rely on and contain powerful bosses that require extra thinking power. Luckily for new players and veterans, Monad is introduced at a point where they have access to stronger Personas and equipment.

How Many Blocks And Floors Are There In Tartarus For P3R?

persona-3-reload_tartarus

There are 264 floors in Tartarus, exactly the amount as in the 2006 original. Every block unlocks automatically after a Full Moon, so there’s no chance of players failing to unlock them. However, floor allotments changed since the last Persona 3 iteration.

Old Documents will always appear on the last floor of each block. Collecting these is a part of Elizabeth’s requests.

Here are the blocks in Tartarus, what floors each Tartarus block covers, and their unlock dates:

  • Thebel: Floors 2 - 22
    • Unlocks 4/20
  • Arqa:
    • Block 1: Floors 23 – 43| Unlocks 5/10
    • Block 2: Floors 44 – 69 | Unlocks 6/14
  • Yabbashah: Floors
    • Block 1: Floors 70 - 92 | Unlocks 7/18
    • Block 2: Floors 93 - 118 | Unlocks 8/8
  • Tziah: Floors
    • Block 1: Floors 119 - 144 | Unlocks 9/10
    • Block 2: Floors 145 - 172 | Unlocks 10/10
  • Harabah: Floors
    • Block 1: Floors 173 – 198 | Unlocks 11/6
    • Block 2: Floors 199 - 214 | Unlocks 12/10
  • Adamah: Floors 215 - 264
    • Unlocks 12/31

Is Monad in P3 Reload?

Persona 3 Reload P3R Monad doors appear from 91F beyond

Monad makes its return as Monad Passages. Monad Passages begin appearing at floor 91 or at the end of Yabbashah’s first section. From there, Monad Passages will manifest at the end of each block.

Difficult bosses that may be levels above players manifest at Monad. Players must ensure they cover all elements, physical attacks, and –ja or –nda buff and debuff spells. If they’re strapped for resources, they can make use of their party members to cover weaknesses.

Thebel Block

Unlocks 4/20 | Floors 2 - 22

Persona 3 Reload P3R Tartarus Thebel first block

Thebel is the first Tartarus block players explore in P3 Reload. As far as tutorial dungeons go, Thebel is fairly forgiving unless players are playing on Merciless. Mitsuru teaches players everything they can anticipate in Tartarus, and Shadows are easy to counter.

Persona 3 Reload: All Personas Players Can Get In The Thebel Block Of Tartarus, Ranked

Persona 3 Reload players can get six Personas in the Thebel Block of Tartarus. Here's how they compare to one another.

Without much grinding, players can coast through Thebel even on Normal difficulty. Collecting Personas through Shuffle time is also trivial. Having a stock makes it easier to fuse Personas that correspond with Social Links the player has unlocked at this point.

Arqa Block 1 & 2

Block 1 Unlocks 5/10, Floors 23 – 43 | Block 2 Unlocks 6/14, Floors 44 – 69

Persona 3 Reload P3R Tartarus Arqa second block

Tartarus allows passage into Arqa the day after the May full moon. Unlike Thebel, Arqa is divided into two blocks, a feature that all sections but Thebel and Adamah share.

Of note is Akihiko’s return to action after midterms around 5/18 – 5/24. Should players have no Personas with Bash, Zio, or combat buffs, Akihiko can provide valuable support.

Gatekeepers & Formidable Shadows In Arqa

Arqa block 2 unlocks on June 16. But for efficiency’s sake, players are advised to hold off from finishing the block until the 26th. Missing persons will begin showing up in Tartarus around June 18, with the last two for this month appearing on June 26.

Yabbashah Block 1 & 2

Block 1 Unlocks 7/18, Floors 70 - 92 | Block 2 Unlocks 8/8, Floors 93 - 118

Persona 3 Reload P3R Tartarus Yabbashah third block

Yabbashah is another difficulty spike, though rewards on this level are comparatively good. One thing to note is rescuing missing persons in the first block is a time crunch. Some missing persons request will come in just a few days before their deadline.

Gatekeepers & Formidable Shadows in Yabashah

This section will be updated later.

One thing to note about Yabbashah is the first block should be explored after SEES return from Yakushima. Aigis will join the group after their summer vacation and will provide more combat options for players.

Tziah Block 1 & 2

Block 1 Unlocks 9/10, Floors 119 - 144| Block 2 Unlocks 10/10, Floors 145 - 172

Persona 3 Reload P3R Tartarus Tziah fourth block

Tziah Block 1 features the first Social Link to go missing in Tartarus. Bunkichi Kitamura of the Hierophant Social Link will be reported missing around 9/12. Failing to rescue Bunkichi by 10/3 will lock the Hierophant Social Link from progressing.

Gatekeepers & Formidable Shadows in Tziah

The second Social Link to go missing is Maiko Oohashi of the Hanged Man Social Link. She’ll wander into Tartarus around 10/21. Letting Maiko go unrescued until 11/3 will permanently shut down her Social Link.

Missing Persons In Tziah

Deadline: September 3

  • 9/12 – Bunkichi Kitamura

Deadline: November 3

  • 10/21 – Maiko Oohashi

Block 1 Unlocks 11/6, Floors 173 – 198| Block 2 Unlocks 12/10, Floors 199 – 214

Persona 3 Reload P3R Harabah fifth block

Harabah is the penultimate block of Tartarus. The colorful fifth block has a bevy of powerful Personas in its Shuffle Time rotation. It’s fitting, as the enemies in these blocks are powerful and can take down unprepared parties with ease.

Adamah

Adamah is traditionally the last Tartarus block players unlock.

Progress from 215-263F is tied to leveling up one of the last Social Links players can unlock. They are only given one month to cover these levels before the hard 1/31 deadline.
