Unlocking and keeping up with your Social Links in Persona 3 Reload are extremely important for Fusing Personas in the Velvet Room. Most Social Links are easy to find and can be started after in-game events. Then you have Social Links like the Moon Arcana that require several steps before you can unlock Rank 1. Unfortunately for fans of the female protagonist in Persona 3 Portable, Nozomi Suemitsu represents the Moon Social Link instead of Shinjiro Aragaki in Persona 3 Reload, just as he did in the original Persona 3. If you want to start Nozomi's Social Link, you'll need to have started a specific Social Link and have level 2 Charm.

Persona 3 Reload: Nozomi Suemitsu (Moon) Social Link Guide

Nozomi Suemitsu's Social Link is one of the easier ones you can level up in Persona 3 Reload, so here are the best answers for each rank.

You'll need to start the Magician Social Link (Kenji Tomochika), which is automatically unlocked on 4/22, and reach Rank 3. When you go to speak to Kenji to start Rank 4, he'll mention someone called "The Gourmet King." You can then find Nozomi in Paulownia Mall by the fountain. He'll be there on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

You will also need level 2 Charm (Unpolished) to unlock the Moon Social Link. This usually takes priority over the Magician Rank 4 since Social Stats tend to take a lot of time to level up. Not to mention Kenji's Social Link is relatively easy to rank up without much effort.

You can increase your Charm by doing some of the following:

  • Working part-time at Chagall Cafe in Paulownia Mall. This option is available on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
  • Answering questions correctly in class.
  • Eating at Hagakure Ramen in Iwatodai Strip Mall.
  • Using Charm-enhancing software on the Shared Computer in the Lounge. You can buy software from the manga cafe in Iwatodai Strip Mall.

If you've met these requirements and Nozomi still isn't appearing at Paulownia, you may need to double-check your Social Link status with Kenji. You'll be able to tell when Nozomi's Social Link is available by opening the fast-travel map and looking for an "icon" over Paulownia Mall .

How to Pass the Gourmet Quiz

Correct Answers for Nozomi Suemitsu

Even though you can speak to Nozomi, you won't be able to start his Social Link that easily. You'll need to pass his "Gourmet Quiz," which consists of three questions on the topic of Iwatodai Strip Mall's restaurants and Chagall Cafe.

It's best to save your game before talking to Nozomi the first time . If you miss one question, you'll need to wait for the next day to speak to him again.

If you've played Persona 3 or Persona 3 Portable, then you'll notice one of the questions has been changed in Persona 3 Reload. Thus, you'll want to select these answers for Nozomi's Gourmet Quiz:

Correct Answer

What’s the most popular drink at the café over there?

Pheremone Coffee

What color skirt does Azuki Arai's mascot, Azuki-chan, wear?

Red

What is the secret menu item at Hagakure?

Hagakure Bowl

Where to Find Odd Morsel

Searching Tartarus

Now that you've aced the Gourmet Quiz, you'll need to find a food item called an Odd Morsel. The bad news is that you can't buy them in Iwatodai Strip Mall or at Paulownia. You can only get anOdd Morsel by looting chests in Thebel Block of Tartarus. The good news is that the Odd Morsel item is fairly common, so you won't need Twilight Fragments to open any rare chests. If you go through Thebel Block and haven't looted an Odd Morsel, just use the teleporter to go back to the entrance and essentially "refresh" the floors.

Odd Morsels can be used to restore your HP in battle. It can heal up to 150 HP , but it also has a low chance of inflicting a status ailment.

If you're speaking to Nozomi further into your playthrough, then it's highly likely you'll have at least one Odd Morsel when you first speak to him. As long as you've aced the quiz and have the Odd Morsel, you'll be able to start the Moon Social Link that same day.
