All Mementos Requests in Persona 5 Royal

By newsgame


Exploring Palaces isn’t the only way to level up in Persona 5 Royal. Shortly after the first arc, the Phantom Thieves will be tasked with completing requests from the public. While not a mandatory part of the story, taking on Mementos Requests is needed to complete most of Joker’s Confidants. As the Phantom Thieves’ reputation grows, Mementos grows too, so you should make a habit of going into Mementos during one of Joker’s off-days.

These side quests in Persona 5 Royal can’t just be selected from the Phan-Site. Instead, they’ll be automatically “accepted” once Joker has the culprit’s name. A good chunk of the Requests are sent by Mishima, and other Requests are unlocked when Joker’s around Rank 7/8 of a Confidant. There are over 20 Mementos Requests in Persona 5 and even more in Persona 5 Royal, so here’s what they all are and how to get them.

Persona 5 Royal: How to Increase Kindness

Persona 5 Royal players can boost kindness by taking care of plants, hanging out with Sojiro, and interacting with specific movies, games, and books.

Updated December 27, 2025 by Jessica Orr: Mementos is the place where you have to tackle numerous requests, including ones that are mandatory if you want to max out the game’s many Confidants. These requests are a fun way to spruce up the act of exploring a dungeon that can feel pretty bland otherwise, and each one culminates in a mini-boss battle that you must triumph against to help change a person’s mind and help them see the light. So to make sure your Mementos adventures run as smoothly as possible, we’ve updated the table below to make each Request as simple to follow as possible. This includes the date each Request is available, its requirements, how difficult it is, and what intel you need to gather to start it in Mementos.

All Mementos Request Dates, Rewards, and More in Persona 5

Mementos unlocks on 5/7, following Kamoshida’s confession at Shujin. The first Mementos Request is part of the storyline, but others will need to come from Mishima or one of Joker’s friends/Confidants. To get every Mementos Request in Persona 5 Royal, you need to be consistent with ranking up the Moon/Mishima’s Confidant.

It’s also possible to get a Request in a part of Mementos that’s blocked off, so you should check the Difficulty. Finally, some Requests require Joker to gather intel on his own outside the Metaverse. These are marked with a “?” instead of “ID’d!” on the Requests menu. An unidentified target won’t appear in Mementos, so you will need to double-check the IMs from Mishima for hints.

Mementos Requests in Persona 5 are given over the course of Joker’s mind-bending adventures, but some will be missed if Joker is not spending time with Confidants.

Remembering that you can scroll to the right for more information about each Request, here’s a list of all Requests in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, including how to get/complete them:

Confidants with a [no.].5 in Rank means that they need to be a certain Rank before Joker speaks to them again. This won’t cause the Confidant to Rank Up. Instead, it will give Joker the name of the Mementos Target. For example: if you get Shinya’s Confidant to Rank 8, you can speak with him the next day to get the name of the target (Rank 8.5), then go to Mementos to steal the heart. After this is done, hanging out with Shinya again will get him to Rank 9.

Tips For Mementos Requests in Persona 5

Tips For Mementos Requests in Persona 5

Before going into Mementos, you should always check “View Requests” at the Phantom Thief hideout. The other Thieves will usually warn Joker if there are still targets that need discussing. In the case Joker hasn’t identified the target, you can also look over Mishima’s texts for an idea of where the target likes to hang out. You can then go to that area, and, if Joker’s in the right spot, Morgana will drop another hint.

If a target is in a part of Mementos that you can’t access yet, you’ll have to steal the heart of a Palace Ruler and then return to Mementos after the culprit’s confession.

Some Mementos Requests in Persona 5 Royal require Joker to dissuade the target from continuing their misdeeds. One example of this is the “If Cats Disappeared from the City” Request. This involves whittling down the target’s HP, or downing them. Instead of a Shadow Negotiation, you will have to choose your answers carefully. If successful, the battle will end. If not, then they’ll get back up to fight.
