How to unlock the The Path Chosen achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide

There are three endings that count for this achievement.
  • Original Persona 5 true ending
  • Third semester "bad ending"
  • Third semester "true ending"
The bad endings for not completing a Palace before the deadline, selling out your teammates/allies on 11/20, and accepting the deal on 12/24 don't count.

To get the original true ending, fail to reach rank 9 with the Councilor Confidant before 11/17, and beat the original game's final boss.
To access the third semester, reach rank 9 with the Councilor Confidant before 11/17. For the "bad ending", accept the Palace Ruler's deal on either 1/9 or 2/2. For the "true ending", do not accept the deal, and defeat the new final boss.

No matter which ending you get, the achievement will unlock after the credits.

You must also get Akechi to 8 and Kasumi to 5 to unlock the 3rd semester.

You don't need Kasumi or Akechi at a specific rank for any ending, they just get some additional content late-game. The only requirement is Maruki at 9.

I have Akechi at level 5 and had a heart attack thinking I had missed this, even with Maruki at max

Everything I can find online says only Maruki's rank needs to be maxed. Akechi's needs to reach rank 8 in order to get the post-credits cutscene and Yoshizawa's is locked in the third semester if rank 5 wasn't reached, but they don't affect being able to access the third semester (and speedruns don't even do anything with Yoshizawa's).

Story related and can not be missed.
 
There are actually six different endings that could trigger this achievement, but we will be aiming for the game's "True Ending" which involves unlocking and completing the new third semester. To get all of the achievements in one playthrough, make sure you do the following:
 
  • Get Councillor confidant to Rank 9 before November 17
  • On 11/19, do not agree to work with your interrogator
  • On 11/24, once again refuse the deal
  • On 1/9, yet again refuse the deal
  • On 2/2, you guessed it - refuse the deal - twice!
If at any point the game ends on one of the dates above, you chose the wrong dialogue options. Reload your last save and try again! You want to always choose the first dialogue option when responding to questions on those dates to ensure you're refusing to work with her.

*MISSABLE*

Story-related, but can be missed if you pick the bad ending after the Casino Palace. Personal 5 Royal has four main endings that lead to the credits, not counting the Palace bad endings that just reset to a week earlier:

  • Palace bad endings

  • Persona 5 bad ending 2
  • Persona 5 true ending
  • Persona 5 Royal bad ending 1
  • Persona 5 Royal bad ending 2
  • Persona 5 Royal true ending

Either the original Persona 5 true ending or Persona 5 Royal's true ending will unlock this trophy. It is highly recommended that Persona 5 Royal's true ending is attained as there are two other trophies tied to the new content added in Persona 5 Royal.
