Persona 5 Royal features a wide array of personas for Joker to make use of while in the Metaverse, each with a different set of skills and stats. Lamia is one such persona, and this guide will explain how to acquire it.
Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG developed by Atlas and Published by Sega and tells the story of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. Switching between everyday life and otherworldly dungeon crawling, players attempt to steal the distorted desires of the wicked and improve the world while also living a normal school life.
Fusing Lamia
One way of acquiring Lamia in Persona 5 Royal is via persona fusion. There are several ways of achieving this, but the simplest fusions are as follows:
- Sui-Ki (Moon) + Suzaku (Sun)
- Nigi-Mitama (Counsellor) + Oni (Strength)
Performing a fusion to create Lamia requires Joker to be at level 26 or higher, though a bonus from the Twin Wardens Confidant (Strength) allows the level requirement to be ignored using money.
Finding Lamia
Lamia can also be recruited by locating it in Futaba's Palace and performing a hold-up. This also requires Joker to be level 26 or higher unless they have a perk from the Man of the People Confidant (Sun) to ignore the requirement. This is an easy way of reliably locating Lamia even if fusing it has proved difficult.
