All Star Social Link Persona 3 Reload Answers

Towards the end of Persona 3 Reload, you can unlock the Star Socal Link by becoming friends with Mamoru Hayase. Here are all Star Socal Link Persona 3 Reload answers so you can complete your friendship with Rival Athlete Hayase without losing any time.

How to start Star Social Link in Persona 3 Reload

Before you go looking for the Star Social Link, you will need to wait quite a bit, as the relationship with Mamoru Hayase is locked until the second half of the game. The Star Socal Link first becomes available on 8/2 after you compete in the track marathon contest at Gekkoukan High School.

However, there are a few prerequisites such as having your Courage be Rank 4. For the quickest way to raise your Courage, check out our Best Way to Increase Persona 3 Reload Social Stats guide. Below are the steps you need to take to start the Star Social Link in P3R:

• In late April, you need to join a club in Persona 3 Reload. Specifically, you need to enroll with the Track team by starting the Chariot Social Link and speaking to classmate Kazushi Miyamato.
• From April to September raise your Courage to Rank 4 “Tough.”
• If you have started the Track Team plotline, the story will automatically force you to compete in a club contest at the start of September.
• At the end of the Track contest on 8/2, Mamoru Hayase will approach you after you rank second place in the race.
• Despite losing, Hayase will be impressed with your results and will invite you to hang out.
• On a day after school, warp to the Iwatodai Strip Mall fast travel point and speak to Mamoru Hayase.
• If your Courage is Rank 4, Mamoru Hayase will hang out with you and start the Star Social Link.

After the race on 8/2, Mamoru Hayase will ask you to swing by the Iwatodai Strip Mall after school to eat food. If your Courage is Rank 4, you can speak to him to the right of the Iwatodai entrance. This will unlock the Star Social Link and start the relationship.
