While Harabah won’t be your first rodeo in Tartarus when you’re playingPersona 3 Portable, it’s definitely going to shake things up on you a little. While most of the blocks are split into two sections and flow relatively quickly, Harabah only has one section, one in which you’ll be spending alotof time.

But there are plenty of shadows to fight, Personas to collect, and missing people to save, so you almost surely won’t be bored. For all the help you’ll need to make it through the Harabah Block of Tartarus in P3P, follow along with our guide.
While we try to omit any major ones that we can, this guide may still contain some spoilers for Persona 3 Portable.
Block 5 - Harabah Overview
By the time you unlock the Harabah block of Tartarus in P3P, you’ve achieved what you and the SEES Teamthoughtwas your goal, only to learn that there’s much more to the Full Moon Operations that had met the eye.
Containing50 total floors, the Harabah block opens on11/5, only a few days after your Full Moon battles against both Jin and Takaya, as well as the final Full Moon Shadow, the Hanged Man.
Unlike the other floors of Tartarus,Harabah doesn’t have a barrier.This means you canproceed at your own pacefor a bit before the next block.
While there are plenty of story events that consume your free time after Harabah opens, it’ll be a bit before you’ve got access to Adamah, the next and final block of Tartarus.
You won’t have access to Tartarus during theschool trip to Kyoto, yourCareer Experience(until the final day of it), from12/4-12/9, or duringFinals Week.
Adamah doesn’t open until1/1, leaving you almost two full months to make it through Harabah. However, with 50 floors,five guardians, andfour missing people, youshouldn’t put it off for too long.
The battles that happen in the last block will be significantly harder, so be sure you’re taking ample time totrain before New Yearsto give yours the best head start in the game’s final act.
