Hermit-0

The Hermit Arcana (隠者?) is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.

Overview

"The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path..."
—Nyx Avatar, Persona 3

Portrayed as an old man in a dark place or cave, holding up a lantern, the Hermit is associated with wisdom, introspection, solitude, retreat and philosophical searches.

Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Hermit Arcana are commonly Personas excelling in Mental-Ailment skills. Mythological figures associated with the Hermit Arcana are usually hermits themselves, or are otherwise figures or deities that exist and operate behind the scenes.

Similarly, Hermit Arcana characters share the commonality of placing themselves in situations that hide them from the public eye. Hermit individuals hide away from others or act in more supportive roles rather than putting themselves in the spotlight.

The player can guarantee a fusion accident resulting in a Hermit Arcana persona by starting from a "hard reset" (as in, not already mid-game and loading a save or selecting "Return to Title") and performing a White Fusion after taking exactly 840 steps in an area where no enemies will attack, such as the Mikage Sun Mall.

Persona 3

The Hermit Arcana Social Link is represented by the online-player "Maya" ("Y-ko" in the Japanese Version). The protagonist can initiate the Social Link during the Golden Week, where Junpei Iori gives the protagonist the online game of Innocent Sin Online.

The Hermit Arcana Social Link can only be interacted during Holidays, and only during Mornings via examining the protagonist's desk in his room. Through the protagonist's interaction with "Maya", he helps her to cope up with her stress in her job. Should the protagonist manages to advance the Hermit Arcana Social Link to Lv. 4 or above, the protagonist may also gain access to the Devil Arcana Social Link.

Innocent Sin Online announces its servers will be permanently shut down. "Maya" thanks the protagonist for all his help and draws a message for him in the sand, which he takes a screenshot of and uploads to his phone as wallpaper. The max Social Link gives access to the Ultimate Form of the Hermit Arcana, Arahabaki, "the aboriginal god."

In the epilogue, "Maya" is revealed to be the homeroom teacher of the protagonist.

The Hermit is also the Persona Arcana of Jin Shirato, member of Strega.
