While you’ll first be able to access Iwai’s confidant on 5/6, you probably won’t be able to🦄 begin it right then.

That’s because, while Iwai will do business with you at Untouchable without question, you need Rank 4 Guts to be able to formally begin his confidant. For help in raising your Guts ranking, check out our complete guide to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:building your Guts in P5R.

Regardless of your rank, Iwai will give you a mysterious bag to hold for him on 5/6. However, new in Persona 5 Royal, you’re able to actually use the contents of the bag yourself, which is one of his modified guns. This time, it’s a Tkachev that inflicts shock.

As soon as you’ve got Rank 4 Guts, head back to Untouchables on a Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday night and ask him about the bag to begin the confidant.
