Mementos (Another Dungeon)/Mechanics
Mechanics[edit]
In Mementos all enemies are visible on the map (as if they were horrors) and if approached from behind they'll be stunned for the first turn of the battle. Note that unlike the other dungeons they don't drop the currency of the episode, they just grant experience.
The first two maps of the Another Dungeon are all the same, but at the end of the second map, you have a choice between four routes, each corresponding to one of the Phantom Thieves. When you pick a route, the corresponding Phantom Thief stands a chance of gaining Light/Shadow if they are in the party. You can pick a route without needing to have its corresponding Phantom Thief available. Skull's and Violet's routes will not be accessible until they join the party.
Each map contains a specific set of enemies that you can fight :
| Map Name | Enemies |
|---|---|
| Road to Vanity | Sightless Bug, White Lie Bug |
| Road to Solitude | Dragger, Captured One |
| Road to Deep Solitude | Dragger, Captured One, Vessel of Desire |
| Road to Oppression | Dragger, Captured One |
| Road to Vengeance | Sightless Bug, White Lie Bug |
| Road to Weakness | Jewel Queen, Jewel Vessel, Jewel Eye |
| Road to Destruction | Jewel Queen, Jewel Vessel, Jewel Eye |
| Test of Creation | Wicked Bug |
| Test of Freedom | Wicked Bug |
| Test of Courage | Ungranted Wish |
| Test of Liberation | Ungranted Wish |
You are also given Missions starting from your second run in this dungeon, if you've ran it at least once on each difficulty. They require you to find and defeat a specific boss room on one of the maps. The boss rooms are marked with a red exclamation mark but will only be revealed if you are sufficiently close to them. Each mission requires a certain number of Decayed Thought Leaves and all prior missions completed before they become available; it is possible to receive more than one mission in a single run with enough Decayed Thought Leaves on hand. Finish all ten missions and Skull will join the party. Return to the NPC one more time in the same run or the next run, after finishing all ten missions to get the Resolute Rapier, Steel Pipe, and Violet's and Skull's True VC Grastas.
You encounter a mystery box during your accomplishment of these missions: Mystery Box Dialogue.
