How to Get Diamonds in Persona 3 Reload (P3R)

If you’re going for some Ultimate Weapons for your team in Persona 3 Reload, you’ll eventually need to get some Diamonds. You’ll quickly notice how getting those rare stones isn’t an easy task, but it can be done within seconds if you have enough resources.

Where to Find Diamonds in Persona 3 Reload

Diamonds are regular drops from the Platinum Dice and Devious Maya enemies in the Adamah block in Tartarus. They appear randomly as regular Shadows inside any floor in this particular block and have a low chance of dropping Diamonds. Platinum Dice is weak to Zio, while Devious Maya is weak to Eiha. Both can appear in the same waves.

Akihiko and Koromaru make a perfect duo for getting these items, but you can just bring one of them and use your own Personas to cover for the lack of the other. Each Shadow drops one Diamond, but they’ll drop two if you’ve got the Devil Major Arcana effect for the day.

Diamonds are also randomly obtained inside chests in Tartarus, so make sure you open them whenever you find them. They won’t respawn until you re-enter Tartarus, but enemies will always return as you re-enter the floors.

But if you’re having bad luck finding them, you can buy Diamonds (and many other rare stones) in the Club Escapade shop in Paulownia Mall during the night. Each Diamond costs you 50,000 Yen and is one of the most expensive items in the game. You’ll need a bunch of them, so get ready to open your wallets.

You can farm easy money while inside Tartarus by killing the Reaper with Armageddon, then refilling your Theurgy gauge and repeating it indefinitely. Waiting for it to spawn gets boring quickly, but it’s by far the most reliable way to get money, as each of its drops is worth 100,000 Yen. The Devil Major Arcana trick also works for it.

Diamonds are required if you’re going for certain Ultimate Weapons, especially if you’re lacking Gold Quartz (and believe me, you’ll need tons of these). So getting your pockets full of money within a single night of Tartarus is never a bad idea. Just don’t wear yourself out before you can actually use the overpowered equipment you’re going for.
