Quick Links

But bisected by Full Moon shadow fights and longer than the other blocks you’ve done so far, Tziah is definitely nothing to take lightly. If you need some help with all the shadows, shuffle time Personas, and guardians in Tziah in P3P, we’ve got you covered.
We’ll be omitting as much of this section’s plot as we can to preserve the story for you, but this guide may contain spoilers for the plot of Persona 3 Portable.
Block Four Overview
By now, you’re probably expecting multiple sections to the blocks of Tartarus, and you’re correct with Tziah - this block has50 total floorsthat span two sections.
Thefirst halfof the Tziah Block opens on9/10, following the Full Moon boss fight against the Hermit shadow. It spans fromFloors115-138.
Theback halfof Tziah can be accessed fromFloor 139, and runs up throughFloor 164.
It willunlock on 10/6, shortly after the Full Moon boss shadow fight against Fortune and Strength.
Be sure togrind a fair amount between the sections, as thedifficulty jumpfrom the first half into the second can be somewhat substantial,depending on who you’ve been levelingthroughout Tartarus so far.

The Story Takes Up Many Of Your Evening Free Time Slots In September
We detail it more inhis social link guide, butjust before Tziah opensfor you to explore, you’re able tobegin Shinjiro’s Moon social link on 9/7.
And his social link also has apretty immediate deadline- if you don’tmax out Shinjiro’s social link before 10/4, when you fight the Strength and Fortune full moon bosses,it will lock where it is, rendering youunable to finish the Moon arcana social link.
Between 9/7 and 10/4, you have11 opportunitiestohang out with Shinjiro,andmaxing his social link will still require tenof those eleven nights to be spent with him.
AsShinjiro is only available at night, this will pretty sharply cut into your Tartarus-grinding time.
Not only is this your only time to spend building a bond with Shinjiro, but you’ll also have to contend with thetyphoonthatoccurs from9/18-9/20.
On each of these days, your protagonist will be ill, andyou will not have any free time during this span. That makes this another three-day stretch where youcannotgo to Tartarus, even if you’re not otherwise busy pursuing Shinjiro’s social link.
Because of both of these things,it may be a struggle to find time to get into Tartarusduring the story wherein the first section is open.
That makes it that much more important toreally work on grinding whenever you do go in. You’ll still havemissing peopleto rescue and aFull Moon Operationtoward the end of the first half of the Tziah block, so don’t leave yourself under-leveled.
