Here is a guide for the Persona 3 Reload missing persons and how to find them
Persona 3’s Tartarus is twisted and convoluted, and not everyone has the guts and courage of our main characters, which is why you’ll find people who are lost and helpless in the nefarious labyrinth. As you climb the floors of Tartarus, you’ll run into plenty of things to do, including side quests, treasure hunts, and of course, taking down enemies.
One of these side quests include searching for these missing people, and you’ll be rewarded for bringing these unfortunate victims to safety, along with the feeling of accomplishing a good deed. So let’s take a look at where all of them are located inside Tartarus, and the rewards you’ll get.
Persona 3 Reload Missing Persons Guide – When To Look For Them
These don’t count as your typical side quests in Persona 3 Reload, but you will be notified about them through Elizabeth, who will tell you that people sometimes wander and get lost inside Tartarus on June 18th.
It’s important to note that these people have a deadline associated with them, and given how dangerous Tartarus is, we don’t want to know what happens to them after the deadline is crossed. Regardless, from a gameplay perspective, they’ll be lost forever and you won’t be able to save them after the deadline so it’s best to get the job done as soon and grab the rewards before they’re gone.
We will be discussing these people based on their deadline for them as it’s easier to stratify and that way, you’ll be aware of when you should approach the search and rescue missions. Let’s get to it.
July 6th (7/6) Deadline
The first of these search and rescue missions you’ll encounter is on 6/18, followed by two more reports coming in on 7/26.
The trick is that you shouldn’t do these missions as soon as you get them and head into Tartarus one by one for them. Instead, wait till you get reported about all of the missing people, then go inside Tartarus with the goal of saving all three in one session.
They’ll be located as follows, along with the rewards you’ll receive in brackets:
- Ayako Yoshimoto – 45F (Recarm)
- Kenjiro Tsutsumi – 51 F (40,000 Yen)
- Yoshimi Miyama – 61F (Shirt of Chivalry)
August 5th (8/5) Deadline
You’ll be notified about their absence on 8/3 and they’re found in the following location:

- Aki Kurobe – 131F (Slash Repeller)
- Yasunobu Shimozono – 137F (100,000 Yen)
Note: Make sure that you finish this particular set of missions, as Bunkichi Kitamura is a person you’ll need if you want to max out your Hierophant Social Link.
November 2nd (11/2) Deadline
You’ll be notified about their absence on 10/21 and 10/30 respectively. They’re found in the following locations:
