Justine & Caroline Confidant Guide

A large chunk of your time in Persona 5 Royal is spent carrying out Persona fusions in the Velvet Room, thanks to the help of the twins, Justine and Caroline.

Most players tend to ignore this Confidant their first time. I know that because I did the same thing during my first-ever playthrough of the original game in 2017.

It mostly turns out that way due to the specific Persona Fusion requests you need to complete to advance their social link ranks. But their Confidant abilities are genuinely beneficial as they allow you to create some of the most powerful Personas.

So, to help you avoid making the same mistake I did, I’ve prepared a Confidant guide on Justine and Caroline in Persona 5 Royal, with an easy-to-follow recipe for each Personas and their ingredients.

This guide uses the free DLC Persona to make the recipes flexible. It’s already included in the PS5/next-gen versions but needs to be separately claimed in the PS4 version PSN store.

Justine & Caroline Confidant Abilities

While you can surely ignore this Confidant, you really shouldn’t. The twins’ standout ability, the Group Guillotine feature, allows you to create strong personas.

This entire Social link gets even better with the Special Treatment ability, which allows you to pay money to remove some higher-level Personas from your reach. Getting millions of Yen in P5R is a cakewalk.

I’ve listed the Confidant Abilities for Caroline and Justine below, just in case you want to check out what they offer.

Rank 1: Jack Frost With Mabufu

If you already have a Jack Frost, you can just patiently wait to get him to Level 12 so he can automatically learn Mabufu. If not, I’ve listed the recipe to create him with Mabufu from scratch.

You may need to wait until the Madarame Palace because the recipe uses the Regent Treasure Persona, which is automatically given to you in a story-related battle.

To verify and complete the requests, make sure to talk to Caroline and select the “Check status on penal labor.” option.

• Fuse an Arsene with Agathion = Succubus
• Combine the Succubus and a Pixie = Cait Sith
• Take a Regent from the Compendium and combine it with the Cait Sith to make a Jack Frost with Mabufu. Head back to the twins to complete Rank 1 of the Confidant.

Rank 2: Ame-No-Uzume With Frei

The simplest way to do this is to have a base-level Suzaku with Frei and fuse it with Berith to make an Ame-No-Uzume while inheriting Frei.

But if you don’t have either, there’s a quick way to get both Personas from scratch:

• Fuse Pixie with Cait Sith = Incubus
• Fuse Incubus with Jack-o-Lantern = Berith
• Grab another Incubus from the compendium and fuse with Berith = Hua Po
• This time, get a Berith and fuse with Hua Po to create a Suzaku.
• Grab one last Berith from the Compendium and fuse with Suzaku for an Ame-No-Uzume with the requested skill.

Rank 3: Flauros With Tarukaja

At his base level, Eligor already has Tarukaja, so we just need to combine the three Personas listed in the Guillotine Fusion.

Hopefully, you still have Berith registered from the previous request. The recipes for crafting the other two ingredients are included below, in case you’re missing them.

• Combine Regent and Berith for an Orobas.
• Fuse Arsene and Suzaku for Angel.
• Use that Angel with a Jack-o-Lantern for an Eligor.
• Lastly, fuse Berith, Eligor and Orobas to create a Flauros with Tarukaja.

Rank 4: Phoenix With Counter

A relatively simple request that you can complete by combining a base-level Yaksini (with the Counter skill) and an Oni to create a Phoenix.

Regardless, the base recipe to craft each Persona is described below for your convenience.

• Fuse Hua Po and Jack-o-Lantern for Yaksini.
• Arsene + Angel = Kodama
• Use that Kodama with Flauros from Rank 3 for an Oni.
• Finally, Yaksini + Oni = Phoenix with Counter passed down from Yaksini.

Rank 5: Setanta With Rakukaja

This is another easy request to complete by fusing Lamia and Silky together, since the former has Rakukaja at her base level.

Like before, if you don’t have Silky or Lamia, the short recipe for both is below.

• Combine Jack-o’-Lantern with Agathion for Silky.
• Grab the Kaguya Picaro DLC Persona from the Compendium to fuse with Suzaku and create a Lamia.
• Now, just make a Setanta with Rakukaja by fusing Lamia and Silky together.

Rank 6: Neko Shogun With Dekaja

This is another Guillotine Fusion, just like the one with Flauros. We already have Kodama from the required ingredient Personas.

I’ve listed the base recipe to craft the other two, should you need it.

• Get the Regent Treasure Demon, fuse with Agathion = Slime
• Slime + Oni = Sudama
• Pull the Ariadne DLC Persona from Compendium and fuse it with Flauros for Anzu.
• With all three Personas in your inventory, combine them in the Guillotine and transfer Dekaja from Anzu to Neko Shogun as shown in the images above.

Rank 7: Lachesis With Tetraja

There’s an extremely rare scenario that you might fail this fusion when fusing Lachesis, so save your game before attempting it to avoid wasting Personas.

It’s a simple fusion where we’re going to use yet another DLC Persona to make fusing and completing this request a breeze.

• Fuse the DLC Persona, Ariadne, with Jack Frost = Principality
• This time, get an Ariadne Picaro and fuse it with the Principality to create a Thoth while inheriting Tetraja.
• Lastly, fuse Thoth and Anzu to create a Lachesis with the Tetraja Skill passed down from Thoth.

Rank 8: Hecathoncheires with Masukunda

You’d think that these requests would get complex at this point, but quite frankly, they’re not. Unless your level requirement for creating the Persona really holds you back, it’s just a matter of having enough yen to create Personas from scratch easily.

• Combine Hua Po with Thoth (base level has Masukanda) to create Andras.
• Combine Andras (carrying Masukanda) with Anzu to make a Hecathoncheires with Masukanda to turn in and complete the request for Rank 9 of the Twins’ Confidant.

Rank 9: Bugs With Samarecarm

For this one, we need a Hariti at Level 41 so she can learn Samarecarm. So, if you have the Empress Confidant at level 2 or above, you’ll get enough XP on the fusion to level up Hariti for that skill.

If not, I strongly suggest using the Strengthen feature in the Velvet Room by sacrificing a Treasure Demon like Regent to level up Hariti easily.

• Use the Izanagi Picaro DLC Persona with an Oni to create Pisaca.
• Now get an Eligor and fuse it with another free DLC Persona, Izanagi, to make a Jikokuten.
• Combine the Jikokuten with Ariadne to create a Hariti (preferably at Level 41 for Samarecarm; if not, use Strengthen).
• Finally, fuse Pixie, Pisaca and Hariti to create Bugs with Samarecarm.

Rank 10: Seth With High Counter

There are a couple of ways here to complete this last request. You can wait until you get the “The Killer Who Cleans Up Trash” request (10/14) for Mementos and get a High Counter skill card from there as a reward, which is the path I took.

Or, if you’ve been following along with the DLC Persona-infused recipes so far, I’ve included an extremely simple recipe guide that lets you get High Counter easily.

• Grab two free DLC Personas: Kaguya Picaro (base level has High Counter) + Asterius Picaro = Horus
• Fuse Jack Frost with Kodama for Isis.
• Combine Pixie with Angel to create Anubis.
• Now, fuse Horus, Thoth, Anubis, and Isis to create Seth while making sure to inherit Horus’s High Counter skill.

This will complete the final and last request to max out Justine and Caroline’s Confidant.
