Persona 3 Portable: Hierophant Arcana old couple social link guide

Get to know Bunkichi and Mitsuko and craft Kohryu

Starting Bunkichi and Mitsuko’s social link is important early on, when you have few other links to expand. They are available on Sunday in the daytime, which you often have free, until you start the Sun social link. They also provide you with a number of medicines, and allow you to start the Temperance social link.

Here is everything you need to know about the Hierophant social link.

Hierophant Arcana social link: How to start the social link with the old couple?

The Hierophant Arcana social link can be started any time after April 25. To initiate it, you must visit Bookworms in the Iwatodai Strip Mall after it reopens. It can be found near the spiraling staircase.

After you speak to them once, you will have to return to your school and pick up a leaf from the persimmon tree. This can be found in the outside section between the 1F club corridor, and the sports area. Once you have the leaf, return to Bookworms to start the social link.

Bunkichi and Mitsuko will be available in Bookworms every day except Monday

Bunkichi is one of the characters that will go missing in Tartarus on September 12, and if he is not rescued by October 4 you will be unable to complete the Hierophant social link. If you have not finished the social link by this time, you can rescue him from the 149F of the tower.

Bunkichi and Mitsuko will be available in Bookworms in the daytime every day except Monday.
