Opening after the September Full Moon in Persona 3 Reload, the Tziah block of Tartarus is a rather opulent one, with gold from floor to ceiling in this palace-like block. Stretching a total of 50 floors exactly, Tziah is a good proving ground for the tough fights ahead.

Split in two halves like both blocks before it, Tziah’s second half unlocks in October and proves an excellent way to experiment with new mechanics and Personas following the tragic loss at the October Full Moon battle. Between Greedy Shadows and Dark Zones, you’ll find yourself pretty busy in the Tziah block.

This guide contains spoilers for Persona 3 Reload.

Tziah Block Overview

Close

Another Two-Part Block, Another Two Teammates

Following the 9/10 Full Moon operation that pitted you and the team against Arcana Hermit, the next time you enter Tartarus, you'll have access to the first half of Tziah, which runs from 122F-144F. A month later, after the 10/4 Full Moon, the second half of the block unlocks, running from 145F-172F. Gaudy and gilded, the entire block is an opulent, gold-covered palace, complete with golden waterfalls, pillars that come from the ground, and almost temple-like decor.

And when you first venture into Tziah, you'll have not one but two additional teammates joining the team for the expedition, so be sure to add them to your team and test out what they can do. They are:

  • Ken Amada, the elementary schooler who spent the summer at Iwatodai Dorms.
    • His Persona, Nemesis, uses Bless skills in addition to Pierce damage.
  • Shinjiro Aragaki, Akihiko's mysterious friend who's begrudgingly come back to help SEES once more.
    • Castor, his Persona that closely resembles Akihiko's, is incredibly proficient with various physical damage types.

There are plenty of great ways to explore their skills in Tziah, with the Shadow affinity chart typically built to let new teammates strut their stuff when they first join the team.

Greedy Shadows And Dark Zones

Like the other blocks of Tartarus before, Tziah has two new mechanics to teach you as you ascend through the fourth block, both introduced in the first half with an encore appearance in the second.

You'll know you're in a Dark Zone when the entire floor is dark, save for a spotlight on your group. Fuuka is unable to provide a map, but the good news is that the Shadows can't see you in the dark.

This means you're safe to wander to collect the treasures lying around in the Relics around the floor, which will always be Twilight Fragments on Dark Zone floors.

After this, you'll be introduced to Greedy Shadows, colossal versions of the Treasure Hands you've seen before. You'll need to follow their movements and direct Fuuka on where to go. Do this successfully three times, and you'll be able to take on the Shadow. The challenge is that there's no real way to know which way they went unless a teammate says they say which way to go.

Successfully chasing one of the Greedy Shadows to a dead end in Tartarus corners it into battling you, and all the treasure on the floor is on the line in the fight. If you win, it's yours. Meanwhile, failing to catch the Greedy Shadow sees this Hand Shadow take the majority of the loot, leaving you with only a few items.

Either way, Fuuka will have mapped the whole floor during the chase, so you can immediately head to the next floor after the fight unless you'd like to fight the other Shadows around.

Gatekeepers In Tziah

Just because Tziah is a shorter block doesn't mean you'll get away with any fewer Gatekeeper challenges than before - there are a whopping ten Gatekeepers in Tziah in total, with five in each half and plenty running back-to-back.

Gatekeepers In The First Half Of Tziah

  • Heartless Relic on 125F.
  • Raging Turret on 126F immediately after.
  • Terminal Table on 132F.
  • Jotun of Authority on 136F, and
  • Isolated Castle on 143F just before your next Monad door and the stairs to the blockade floor.

Gatekeepers In The First Half Of Tziah

  • Pagoda of Disaster on 151F.
  • Dancing Beast Wheel on 155F.
  • Demented Knight on 161F.
  • Cruel Greatsword on 170F
  • Invigorated Gigas on 171F immediately after the previous fight, again just before Monad and the stairs to the border floor.

After clearing the Monad door, head up the final set of stairs on 171F to reach the border floor to the next block of Tartarus, Adamah.
