How to unlock the Awakening the Phantom Thieves achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide

You should automatically get this in the third semester, following your personas evolution to its THIRD form. (Granted that you make it to the third semester and don’t have the classic or bad ending)

Each party member you get to rank 10 confidant will evolve their Persona in the bonus semester. Starting on 1/13 with Morganna, should pop then. If not talk to any confidant who’s rank 10 and it should occur.

One persona has evolved, but achievement decided not to.
Have 3 personas evolved. No luck.

Edit...so this happens after the second evolution of your party member's Persona. Should be noted as such in the solution to avoid confusion.

This is for their second "fusion" evolution (when you are in January).

Maxing out social link (first) evolution does not count for this.

@Boxcarpilot30...should happen by a)just continue to play through the game, I think you are guaranteed to get it with Morgana or b)max your relationship with your confidants and shortly after they will invite you to have another conversation where the second evolution occurs. I think I had at least 3 other confidants who had another evolution by the end of the game.

For anyone having the confusion.
This only occurs during Third Semester, if you failed to get Maruki to lv 9 and Akechi to Lv 9 by 11/17, then this Third Semester will not occur.
You need to shoot for the Third Semester route in order to get a Second Awakening for any Lv10 party member.

You should be able to hit Lv10 with Morgana, forced by the Story and that should be enough.

I managed to get 3 party member to Lv10 around 11/1

@boxcarpilot30 what do you mean Akechi to level 9? I thought you only needed Maruki to level 9?

@Mike Langlois...I think you have to get them both to level 9. There is an article on the site about this that states you have to get the counselor and Akechi leveled up to a certain amount by dates in Nov. or you won't get the 3rd semester.

Bugged for me. No achievement when Morgana’s Persona evolved and have tried other members and still nothing. Won’t play another 100 hours for this. Fuck it

@transkyman, not sure where you are at with the game but as long as you are in the third semester keep maxing up your relationships with the different characters and it should pop for you.

I’m in 3rd semester (current date is Jan 16th) and Maxed out with Ann, Morgana, Ryuji, Makoto, Futaba, Yusuke. I haved evolved all these Personas to 3rd form but no achievement. Morgana’s persona evolves automatically and should’ve popped then but it didn’t. Have also tried with the rest of Phantom Thieves members but no success.

to clear the confusion in the comments:

you ONLY need to hit level 9 confidant level with Maruki to unlock the third semester and you'll get this one naturally then through story progression.

Akechi and Kasumi confidance level is just required for the "TRUE" ending of the game ... which is irrelevant for getting 1000G since the third semester normal ending will also unlock the Take Back the Future chievo.

If you are on the path to the True Ending, the third semester unlocked as part of the "Royal" version of the game, this will unlock automatically. Make sure to follow the steps to unlock the third semester by getting the Councillor confidant to Rank 9 before November 17th.

*MISSABLE*

Story-related, but can be missed if you are not on the path to the new Royal true ending.

Unlike the protagonist, each party member you gain throughout your journey has a fixed Persona which can’t be changed, except when you sufficiently increase their Confidant to the maximum rank. After increasing Confidant to rank 10, each party member will transform personas once into their Ultimate Persona, however this is not what unlocks the trophy.

In the third semester, each party member at rank 10 confidant will undergo another transformation. The first of these is an unavoidable sequence on 1/10 with Morgana, whose Confidant ranks up to 10 automatically over the course of the game. So, as long as you're on the path to the Royal true ending, you will not miss this trophy.

For the other original Phantom Thieves, you can awaken their third-tier Personas by hanging out with them from 1/13 onward in the same locations they normally are for their Confidants.

For Yoshizawa, you will need to maximize her Confidant in the third semester, then accept her invite to hang out on 2/2, the day before the final palace's completion.

Finally, Goro Akechi has the most complicated path to his ultimate Persona out of the party members and requires much earlier attention to attain.

During Justice Rank 7, for the sixth choice, pick 3: "You are my rival". Picking 2 will lock you out from getting Akechi's third Persona.

During Justice Rank 8, you will need to win against him in the battle during this rank-up event. Then, for the eighth choice, pick 1: "I'll take it." Picking 2 will lock you out from getting Akechi's third Persona.

Then, on the night of finishing Akechi’s event in the Cruiser Palace, the protagonist will ponder in bed about Akechi. You’ll be given a choice. The first choice locks you out of Akechi’s third persona. The second choice, "Fulfill Akechi’s Promise", is therefore a prerequisite for his third persona.

Then, on the path to the true ending, Akechi will meet with the protagonist on the evening of 2/2. You can choose anything for the first two dialogue choices, but be sure to select the first option of the third dialogue choice. This will then cause Akechi's persona to transform.

In short, the requirements for each third persona is as follows:

  • Morgana: Confidant Rank 10 (automatic), then watch the mandatory story scene on 1/10.
  • Ryuji Sakamoto: Confidant Rank 10, then hang out with him in the afternoons from 1/13 onwards.
  • Ann Takamaki: Confidant Rank 10, then hang out with her in the afternoons from 1/13 onwards.
  • Yusuke Kitagawa: Confidant Rank 10, then hang out with him in the afternoons from 1/13 onwards.
  • Makoto Niijima: Confidant Rank 10, then hang out with her in the afternoons from 1/13 onwards.
  • Futaba Sakura: Confidant Rank 10, then hang out with her in the afternoons from 1/13 onwards.
  • Haru Okumura: Confidant Rank 10, then hang out with her in the afternoons from 1/13 onwards.
  • Yoshizawa: Confidant Rank MAX, then on the afternoon of 2/2, accept her invite that she will send you via SMS.
  • Goro Akechi: Justice Rank 7, for the sixth choice, pick 3: "You are my rival". > Justice Rank 8, you will need to win against him in the battle during this rank-up event. Then, for the eighth choice, pick 1: "I'll take it." > Confidant Rank 10 > Reach Akechi’s event in Cruiser Palace > When in bed, about to sleep on the night this happens, pick 2: "Fulfill Akechi’s Promise" > Evening of 2/2, for the third choice, pick 1: "Defeat [spoiler]".

The trophy will unlock on 1/10 with the scene with Morgana. The remaining third personas are optional.
