Thinking about doing a challenge run

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

Joker

Currently, my Persona choices are as followed:

Persona 2 Innocent Sin
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment
Persona 3 Portable
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 5

I want to do some kind of challenge run. I was doing an Izanagi only run in P4G, but I'm kinda bored of it already.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Mishima

Solo run, one arcana run, real time run (don't actually try that, lol)

Joker

Well, with how slow my progress is on P4, it may as well be a real time run XD

Kotone Shiomi

p5.
first recruit pixie only.
No party members.

Mona

Try my sleep-based challenge!

All freetime is spent sleeping
-As soon as school ends you have to get to your bed as soon as possible
-No confidants
-No buying/selling items
-No fusing personas because that wastes time you can spend sleeping

Joker

@Kotone
I'm not sure if that's possible outside of Safety, and even then that's questionable.

Joker

@Mona - I'll do that when I go for a speed run

Bgammax

@Joker
thanks to level grinding and the ability to decide what stats they gain you can do a solo run with pretty much any shadow. It just takes a VERY long time. This is how Kotone ended up with a Pixie that has max magic and 1 strength

Mona

Also, you have to always be running because you're in a rush to get to bed

Joker

@Bgammax - With the Gallows, yea, I know how to min-max after the fact, but the level grind tops off after awhile during the first dungeon. With how weak Pixie is, I'm unsure if I'd have the stats required to take down the first palace without possibly 12 hours of grinding at 1xp at a time

its doable

just in ng+

Joker

Yeah, but that's a gallows infused Pixie, right?
My concern is getting to the point that I can use Gallows.

No healing Challenge.

What ever game you chose, never heal except you get auto healed.

Hifumi Togo

I'm doing a similar run in P4G. It's an Izanagi-only solo run, so no party members and no increasing Rise's social link.

Kotone Shiomi

Just ng+ it joka, so you have better weapons for tanking the fights up until gallows.

Hifumi Togo

What does one begin a challenge run for if not to suffer? NG+ only for social stats so you can always choose the rudest answer.

Joker

Nah, I won't do NG+ for challenge runs.
Kinda ruins the fun of a challenge run =P

It's why my Merciless run is fresh game only

Addalme

I think you already did it but why not you do a run in the max difficulty.

Dwerraven

Where is Persona 1? If i suffered, then someone has to suffer with me.

Pineapple

No Items, Demons who are undr 30% get discarted, Arsene stays always in the box as Scapegoat if you lost all Demons.

No Fusing and also no social linking.

I call it the Heartless Challenge.

Kill Your Demons , Screw your Friends.

AdachiImouto

Persona 2 Innocent Sin, never change any characters' Persona.

Joker

I don't own P1, that's why it's not on the list lol

Joker

I may do the P2IS Never Change Persona run.
I need to play that game again anyway, and my current re-play file is about 12 minutes in lol

Addalme

Good luck M-Master
