There are many different ways to utilize fusion in Persona 3 Reload, including fusing different Personas together to create a new one. Along with this, you can also fuse weapons with base materials, allowing you to create a new weapon with increased strength and even some additional abilities.

The better the materials that you obtain for your weapons, the better results you'll get from fusion. If you're looking for an easy way to boost your weapons for your long and arduous treks through Tartarus, this guide will show you how you can fuse weapons and where you can get the required materials to do so.

How to Fuse Weapons in Persona 3 Reload

To begin fusing materials to your weapons in Persona 3 Reload, you'll first need to wait until Mayoido Antiques opens back up on July 18th. This store can be found within the Paulownia Mall, which is located on the Town Map between Gekkoukan High School and the Naganaki Shrine. Paulownia Mall is home to other important locations as well, such as the Police Station, the karaoke bar Mandragora, and Club Escapade, where you can meet a Fortune Teller.

Mayoido Antiques is located to the left of Aohige Pharmacy. When July 18th comes along, you'll be approached by Ikutsuki, who will provide you with a Black Sword. Take this to Mayoido Antiques, and she'll be able to make a powerful weapon for you. Each fused weapon or item that she makes for you, however, will require a certain amount of gems in return rather than money, which you can find on your adventures through Tartarus.

Each weapon will require you to have the base weapon as well as some required materials. For example, to create the Flamberge, you'll need 1x Nihil Blade, 5x Onyx, and 2x Black Quartz. Another example is the Holy Knight Sword, which requires 1x Black Sword, 2x Soul Sea Driblet, and 5x Malachite. Now that you know where you can fuse weapons, you might be wondering how exactly you can get the items to begin the fusion process.
