The Velvet Room is crucial as it aids you in fusing new Personas to fight with in Persona 3 Reload. Here’s how to get to the Velvet Room outside Tartarus in P3R.
How to Access the Velvet Room Anytime in Persona 3 Reload
When you first enter Tartarus, you can access the Velvet Room via a mysterious door on the main floor. This doesn’t mean you can only get to the Velvet Room inside Tartarus, though—another door appears in the real world. Located at Paulownia Mall, to be exact.
To find the door, travel to Paulownia Mall and find the police station just northwest of the fountain in the middle of the area. You’ll spot an alleyway under the staircase to the left of the police station. While it may look like a dead end at first, it actually hides a secret: a hidden door to the Velvet Room.
Walk north toward the potted plant and then turn right to find the Velvet Room door. You can access this any time you’re given control of the main protagonist outside of Tartarus, so if you need to fuse or register your Personas, you don’t need to wait until the Dark Hour to do so. This is especially useful when working on Social Links as you get extra relationship points when you own a Persona of the corresponding Arcana, so you can use the Velvet Room entrance to swap your Personas around with ease.
In addition to Persona fusion, the Velvet Room’s Paulownia Mall location also gives you regular access to Elizabeth so you can work on her requests anytime. Starting on 5/10, Elizabeth will be standing outside the Velvet Room door at either location. Talking to her at Paulownia Mall will allow you to check on and complete many of her requests without needing to enter Tartarus.
You can see the exact location of the Velvet Room door at Paulownia Mall in my Persona 3 Reload screenshots below:
Now that you know how to access the Velvet Room located outside of Tartarus, why not learn how to adjust your game’s difficulty in Persona 3 Reload? It comes in handy when facing difficult or higher-level Personas.
