Continued Investigation

Exit the subway and enter the school.

In class with Mr. Ushimaru, answer “Logic” to increase your Knowledge social stat.

After class, return to the castle and follow Morgana.

Go down the stairs and through the doorway to encounter an armored guard. Morgana will teach you how to strike enemies to initiate battle.

Test this on the guard ahead, then continue past the empty cells.

Duck into a side room to learn about Safe Rooms, where you can save your game. Ryuji will give you a toy gun (Tkachev) and a Medicine.

Exit the Safe Room and continue down the hallway and stairs.

Kill the next guard and use the marked door.

After a short scene, you will be introduced to Guns. Press up on the directional pad to access them. They have limited ammo and cannot be replenished until you return to the real world.

Use a gun shot on the Beguiling Girl to knock it down, then finish it with another attack. Attack the other enemy as you wish.

After the battle, you will receive tutorials on Party Tactics, Rush mode, and Skill Selection Assistance.

To assign tactics, press L2 during your character's turn and select Tactics, or go to the Triangle menu outside of battle. Options include Act Freely, Full Assault, Conserve SP, Heal/Support, and Direct Commands. Setting Morgana to “Direct Commands” is recommended for now.

Continue on the path, being careful of the guard around the corner.

A scripted battle will occur, introducing All-Out Attacks. Hitting enemies with their weakness causes them to fall. If all enemies are down, you can initiate a Hold-Up by pressing Triangle to perform an All-Out Attack with your available party members.

Go through the door to the next area and view the scene about the students in the cells. Check the two specific cells marked on your map.

Escape the castle. Return to the previous room and find another way out after encountering a guard.

You will end up back in the entrance hall for an encounter with Shadow Kamoshida and a fight against three Dirty Two-horned Beasts. You cannot win this battle; guard on your turn to end it quickly.

A lengthy scene will play, and Ryuji will awaken to his Persona. You will then battle the gold guard. This guard summons two horned beasts, which are weak to Zio (electric).

Use Zio on the horned beasts to defeat them.
