Monad

Monad.

Monad (深層モナド, Shinsou Monado)? is an optional block of Tartarus in Persona 3.

Profile[]

In the original version of Persona 3, it would become accessible right after reaching the top floor of the Adamah Block (254F.) In Persona 3 FES, it is also required to defeat the Reaper and turning in the quest. In Persona 3 Portable, Monad is available when Request #53 is completed. After turning in the quest, the protagonist can accept Request #55 and #72.

Monad will appear as an enormous door to the right of the stairs at the entrance (on 1F). It consists of 10 floors, each of which are larger than the rest of Tartarus. Visually it resembles the Thebel Block, but with an orange color theme instead of green. All Shadows are Lv. 88+, making Monad an excellent way to level up quickly. From the 6th floor onward, the Shadows of this block will appear in mixed groups, forcing the party to choose their attacks more carefully while reducing the effectiveness of multi-target attacks. There are no two-way transporters in Monad and the Portable-introduced ability to start from the highest reached floor does not apply - you must start from 1F every time you venture into it.

The 10th and final floor of Monad contains a chest with ¥1,000,000. As part of Request #55, the protagonist is asked to defeat "The Ultimate Opponent" on Monad's 10th floor who is none other than Elizabeth or Theodore. Note that Request #55 is only available in New Game Plus if the protagonist spared Ryoji (Except for FES where it will unlock automatically in New Game+).

In New Game Plus, Monad Depths will be available for exploration from April 22nd if it was unlocked during the previous playthrough (Except for FES where it will unlock automatically in New Game+).

Monad is vastly changed in Reload, instead appearing in random floors beginning in Yabbashah, and each Monad takes the appearance of the block the door is found in, but with red colorations, and only one fight within, with 2 treasures at the end, one consumable, and one fusion material. Fixed Monad doors can also be found on floors immediately before a Border Floor [beginning halfway through Yabbashah] and contains 2-3 fights within, and the reward for clearing these depths are Major Arcana XIV through XX to add to Shuffle Time with their own effects, as well as Books that increase the maximum amount of Major Arcana cards selectable in Shuffle Time per Tartarus visit by one.
