A new mechanic introduced to Persona 3 Reload is Twilight Fragments, a new item that lets you do various actions while in Tartarus, making your life easier overall. Here’s how you can get more of these fleeting shards.

Where to Find More Twilight Fragments in Persona 3 Reload

Twilight Fragments can be obtained in various ways in the game, but they’re scarce. While gathering a bunch of them could take a whole month, a single night in Tartarus might be enough to use all of these.

Leveling up yourSocial Linkswill give you some Twilight Fragments upon speaking withElizabeth,either in Paulownia Mall or at the Tartarus’ entrance. Each level you get gives you one Twilight Fragment. There are 21 Social Links in P3R, and each Social Link has 10 levels, meaning there are 210 Twilight Fragments you can collect from Elizabeth by maxing out your Social Links. So make sure to hang out with your friends while not exploring Tartarus.

Twilight Fragments will accumulate and not be lost if you forget to claim them. If you haven’t spoken with Elizabeth for a week but have leveled several SLs, talking with her later will give you lots of Twilight Fragments at once. She’ll also hand them to you automatically upon entering the Velvet Room.

Rewarded from Requests

Elizabeth can also reward you with some Twilight Fragments by completing some ofher Requests. Fusing 20 Personas is one of the earliest requests with such rewards. You need to claim the Twilight Fragments from the Request section instead of merely talking with her to get those.

Finding Twilight Fragments Around the Map

Twilight Fragments are also scattered around theoverworld map. They’re represented by a shiny blue glow on the ground. These are one-time-only and won’t respawn, so don’t bother waiting for them to return once you grab them.

As far as we know, there are roughly17 Twilight Fragmentsto pick up around the overworld:

During certainFull Moon Operationsin which you visit one-time-only areas in the city, some more Fragments might be lying around, so keep your eyes peeled for those.

Farming in Tartarus

Finally, Tartarus also has a chance to get you some Twilight Fragments from thecrystallized Shadow breakable itemsyou find around the floors. They’re a very rare spawn and glow blue when you find them, so it’s hard to miss them.

Tartarus’s Twilight Fragments are theoretically infinite as the breakable items respawn once you come back to the floor, but they’re so rare that it’s usually not worth your time trying to farm for these. Tartarus’s floors are also randomized, changing between each visit, so the locations of crystallized Shadows will never be the same.

Rescuing Cats

On 6/18, Elizabeth will call you to the Velvet Room to inform you aboutmissing peoplewho wandered into Tartarus. She’ll tell you their whereabouts and encourage you to find them. Sometimes, she’ll also mention cats that have gotten lost in Tartarus too. Locate and rescue these cats, and they’ll hand over a few Twilight Fragments for your trouble. Note that, like missing people, you’ll need to locate them before the next Full Moon, or they’ll become lost forever.

What Are Twilight Fragments in Persona 3 Reload?

Twilight Fragments can be used to execute certain actions within Tartarus, such as opening specialTreasure Cheststhat often contain rare loot or healing your full party’s HP and SP through the use ofclocks. They can improve your exploration but are still limited, so use them wisely.

Each clock you find in Tartarus, including the entryway clock on the main floor, costs seven Twilight Fragments to use. It’s expensive and racks up fast if you depend on them to keep you in the game. Therefore, we highly recommend conserving your Twilight Fragments on locked chests, which can reward you withnew outfits, armor, and weapons. Clocks should be rarely necessary, and you shouldn’t hesitate to use healing items instead, which you’ll pick up a plethora of during your time both inside Tartarus and outside of it.

But by the end of the game, you should know how to effectively use Twilight Fragments to your advantage and not waste a huge amount with unnecessary healings. In any case, theRewind buttonis always here to save you.
