How to unlock the It's Showtime! achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide

You'll unlock Showtime attacks on the first day you can explore the third Palace in full. The tutorial Showtime attack doesn't count, but using it any time after that will unlock the achievement.

Doesn’t explain how or what it is. I won’t vote negatively, because I can’t stand that, but this guide isn’t super helpful

Sure it is. It tells you exactly when you unlock the ability to get the achievement. And it tells you exactly when to pay attention to the games tutorial telling you exactly how to get the achievement. Seems like a spot on guide for people who haven't gotten to that point in the game.

However, it doesn't tell people how to do it for those coming back to the game after a long time and have forgotten what to do or those that just spam through tutorials and didn't realize how to perform the act. For those in this situation, in the event this guide doesn't get updated or replaced, search the menus for a tutorial telling you how to perform a showtime. I am not far enough in the game or else I would just spell it out.

Showtime often pops up when enemy is low on health, or a party member is low on health. Activated by pressing the View Button.

Side note: I had to google what the button was called cus to me it's always been select/back from Playstation/360 days.

It’s kind of the equivalent of an achievement saying “complete chapter 5” and then the guide being “finish chapter 5” while it’s technically correct, you would expect a guide to explain the process of how to accomplish the task not just restating the objective…..

For this guide it would be helpful to say for example on day “9/18” or whatever day you actually learn it on, also it could explain what it actually is. What buttons do I press and when? Do I have to lower the enemies health? Do I have to do it for all enemies or just the final enemy?

I’ve never played this game and I’m not far enough to actually get the achievement, but if it at least explained how.

Like I said I wouldn’t negative vote, but it just isn’t helpful. Sorry.

How do you even give a thumbs up or down? The console app is busted, & achievements are broken, as well as voting on solutions, etc. On the website (mobile & desktop mode), clicking on thumbs up or down does nothing. The comments button works, directly next to those, but not the voting.

You can only vote once you earn an Achievement and sync it with the site. Seems you hadn't done that yet.

Showtime attacks are unlocked during the third palace. It is story related and cannot be missed. To unlock the achievement, you need only to perform one in a new battle after the tutorial battle for them has finished.

One may initiate showtime attacks through the following ways:
  • When you perform a baton pass.
  • When you attack an enemy with an element it's weak to.
  • When a party member has less than 50% health.
  • An ally is downed.
  • The player character is downed.
Once one of the above criteria is fulfilled, there is a chance that you will see a button prompt cn_back to use the showtime attack. The prompt is very hard to miss.

There are a variety of showtime attacks to learn, mostly from speaking with your teammates at the hideout and often after certain story events. However, for the achievement you only need to use the move once after the tutorial.

Chiming in here to say this one is also bugged for me. I've done countless showtime attacks, but the achievement has never popped. Looks like I may have to make an entirely new save and speedrun to palace 3 if i want this one... ugh.

Achievement may be bugged as well as other achievements in the game. I do not know the reason, but I can't receive this one and the "A Serene Experience". Both are easy to achieve. But I guess after the first attempt of using the "Showtime" move and "Enter the Temple" if the achievement was not dropped then you can't achieve it in the future as the game "thinks" that you've already done that and received an achievement, but I did not receive both, but still I did all to receive them.

A Showtime Attack is a co-op move that will unlock as part of the story in the third palace dungeon. You will learn move of these with new characters as the story progresses. The tutorial attack does not unlock the achievement, so you'll need it to happen a second time for that. This is completely RNG, and can happen any time a character with a learned Showtime attack has a turn. You will see a large animation play and the button-page.png button prompt on screen, alerting you to initiate the Showtime attack. Do so a second time to unlock the achievement.

*MISSABLE*

Showtimes are a new type of attack in Royal that largely consists of a scripted cutscene and a massive amount of damage. They are random but occur pretty often, up to dozens of times in one playthrough. Showtimes involve two Phantom Thieves members teaming up to take down one enemy. When a Showtime occurs, a red stripe will appear on the screen along with a closeup of one of the pair's faces. Showtimes always occur when it's the turn of one of the party members who is involved in a particular pair of Showtime.

This trophy involves triggering a Showtime move just once. They are first introduced in the Bank Palace, the third Palace from 6/21 onwards. At the start of the main infiltration, the party will round a mandatory corner just before the main Bank lobby and be given the tutorial for Showtime moves.

This tutorial includes a Showtime between Morgana and Ann to introduce the moves, however this one doesn't count for the trophy. The trophy will unlock the next time you use a Showtime move. If by some disaster you don't get a single one over the course of the game, there is a scripted Showtime in the Laboratory Palace that will unlock the trophy, on the path to the Royal true ending.

Showtimes occur randomly, though the chances of them occurring significantly increase under certain conditions, such as:

  • A Baton Pass is performed to a party member that has a Showtime unlocked.
  • A party member has their health reduced to half or lower.
  • The enemy Shadows are significantly damaged.

The combination of team members do not have to be in the party at the same time, just one being part of the four currently in battle is enough to meet the Showtime conditions. For example, if only Ann is in the party with the protagonist, then Morgana and Ann's Showtime can trigger. One of the required team members can also be down or have a status ailment and the Showtime can still trigger. If a party member involved in a pair is knocked out, however, a Showtime for pairs involving that character cannot trigger.

Initially, only Morgana and Ann will be able to perform a Showtime move, but more combinations are added as the story progresses. The combinations are as follows. 

  • Morgana & Ann – First unlocked with the tutorial for Showtime moves, Bank Palace.
  • Ryuji & Makoto – Unlocked when able to send the Bank Palace's owner's calling card.
  • Ryuji & Yusuke – Unlocked at the start of Pyramid Palace.
  • Yusuke & Ann – Unlocked at the start of Spaceport Palace.
  • Morgana & Haru – Unlocked when able to send the Spaceport Palace's owner's calling card.
  • Makoto & Haru – Unlocked at the start of Casino Palace.
  • Protagonist & Akechi – Unlocked 1/9 in the third semester, on the path to the Royal true ending.
  • Protagonist & Yoshizawa – Unlocked when meeting up at the hideout after Yoshizawa's confidant is maxed, from 1/20 onward.

Below is a video with all of the Showtime moves (note, this video contains significant endgame spoilers in the second half):
