“One Who Rebels Against a God”is only obtainable once you’ve fused Satanael, which can only be done in a New Game Plus save file. This will be unlockedautomaticallyupon successful fusion of Satanael.
Additionally, since registering Satanael is critical to finishing Persona 5 Royal’s Compendium, you may also unlocka secondary achievementwhen you fuse Satanael.
“Mask Collector”is the trophy or achievement awarded forfinishing your Compendium entirely. Since you can’t log the entire Compendium without Satanael in NG+, he may be the final Persona you need for this trophy as well.
