A Pitfall Deviation
Deviations (ハプニング, Hapuningu)? are special areas in Mementos in Persona 5 Royal.
Overview[]
When the Phantom Thieves enter a different area of Mementos, there is a small chance it will be a Deviation. Areas that are Deviations will be noticeably different in some way from other areas of Mementos. There are a variety of different types of changes that can occur when entering a Deviation, and these changes can be either negative or positive. Up to two types of changes can be in effect in a Deviation area at the same time, however, it is impossible for both changes to be beneficial to the group; at least one change must be negative.
The possible changes and their corresponding messages on the game's HUD are listed as follows:
- "Be mindful of the darkness": The area is pitch-black, limiting the player's vision, and the area's layout will not be displayed on the mini-map
- "Watch out for powerful Shadows": Only Savage Shadows can spawn and no other enemies besides the Reaper can spawn.
- "Find the rare shadow": Only Treasure Demons can spawn and no other enemies besides the Reaper can spawn.
- "Watch out for a number of Shadows": A large number of Shadow symbols will spawn.
- "Watch out for the Reaper": The Reaper spawns at the beginning.
- "Be mindful of your footing": A pitfall only visible while the Third Eye is active, which drops the party to a random spot on the lower floor.
- "Pick up a large number of items": A large number of search objects are dropped but no flowers will spawn.
- "Gather a large number of flowers": Many flowers will spawn but no search objects will spawn.
- "Find the treasure chest": Many treasure chests will spawn.
Leaving the Deviation area will cause it to reset and become a normal floor. Deviations cannot occur at Rest Areas, the last Area of a Path, or on a floor which has a request's target present.
