Persona 5: November events and activities

What you could get up to in the month of November.

Persona 5's November events and activities and wraps up both the Casino Palace and the start of the Ship Palace (beware of spoilers before clicking into these articles!).

If you're after help for other parts of the game, consult our Persona 5 guide and walkthrough.

Important dates during November in Persona 5

  • 15th: Last day to reach the first barrier.
  • 17th: Last day to reach the treasure.
  • 19th: Last day to take the heart.
  • 20th-23rd: To avoid spoilers we'll just say that you're going to be occupied for a few days.
  • 24th: Ship Palace investigation. The deadline to steal the heart is technically December 17th, but for some reason you need to actually do it by the 16th.

November events in Persona 5

Persona 5 follows a fairly strict calendar, and working out what's best to do on any given day can be a little tricky. We've created a path that, if followed correctly, should allow you to maximise all the social links with Confidants, max out your Social Stats (some days provide better gains to Guts, Knowledge etc than others) and see the bulk of the game's content in a single playthrough.
