Persona 3 Reload: Mutatsu (Tower) social link choices & unlock guide
You might be cast as a school kid in Persona 3 Reload, but that doesn't mean you can't also hang out with adults. The Mutatsu social link is one such friendship, representing the Tower arcana of Persona - and has you getting to know a world-weary, cigar-smoking Buddhist Monk who is honestly one of the coolest people in the game. This guide is here to help you to breeze through the Mutatsu S-Link in an efficient manner to extract the maximum rewards.
Each social link in Persona 3 Reload is subtly different to the same versions of the same links that appeared in previous games - and so as you might've guessed, that means this guide is exclusively for Persona 3 Reload. If you want a guide to befriending Mutatsu in P3 Portable, hit the link - otherwise stick with us for all the info you need in Royal. This guide gives you every dialogue choice you need, in order, so not a day is wasted. We've got this for every single character in the game available via our P3 Reload S-Link guide, and if you want to be really efficent you can use this page alongside our Max Social Link guide.
Mutatsu S-Link Guide - Hanged Man (Persona 3 Reload)
The below guide will give you everything you need to know for the Mutatsu Social Link in Persona 3, including all dialogue option choices. We also list how to start the Tower social link, as it's easily missed. The guide is presented with as few spoilers as we can manage without making it unclear, so it's safe to scroll around.
Each time you see Mutatsu, you'll be faced with dialogue options. Saying the right things makes him like you more - and speeds up leveling of his social link. There's a bonus which can be had for having a Persona of the Tower Arcana with you when hanging out with Mutatsu, too. The point values listed for responses below include that Arcana bonus, so do keep that in mind.

Social Link Choices
Unlock & Rank 1
Starting in late July, you can find the Tower Social Link in Club Escapade in Paulownia Mall. Though unlike the original, the Strength social link rank 4 doesn't seem to be completely necessary to trigger this as the rank 4 scenario has been rewritten to rank 3. Anyways, if the conditions line up, a social link icon will pop up at night on July 26th, letting you attend the Tower Social Link.
Talk to the monk located upstairs; he wants his booze. Talk to the bartender downstairs and get the order of the drinks right to start the social link. The drink order is Margarita, Bloody Mary, Screwdriver, and Oolong Tea.
