Appearances

 * Persona 3
 * Persona 3 FES
 * Persona 3 Portable
 * Persona 4
 * Persona 4 Golden

Persona 3
Phantom Masters begin appearing in the upper half of the Arqa Block in Tartarus.

Persona 4
Phantom Masters appear in the Steamy Bathhouse dungeon of the Midnight Channel, however they must be summoned by Pursuing Pesce. Pursuing Pesce will summon Phantom Masters when a party member is afflicted with the Fear status effect. They may drop Magic Cloth upon being defeat, allowing for creation of the Mage's Mark accessory if 10 are collected.

Depending on the level of the party, goading Pursuing Pesce into using Evil Touch can be a problem, since guarding will prevent status effects from taking hold. Electing to escape will leave the character who chose the command unguarded, allowing the status to take hold. Phantom Masters may use the Ghastly Wail skill as soon as they act, instantly killing the afflicted party member.

Persona 4 Golden
Phantom Masters will be summoned by Pursuing Pesce when at least one character is afflicted with the Fear status, however they may also appear on their own.
