Can You Beat Persona 5 Royal By Doing Absolutely Nothing? Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2021
- It's time to do it like Luigi does in Mario Party and do the ultimate minimalist challenge, by having Joker do absolutely nothing. How far can we go in the game on the hardest difficulty without doing something? Can we rely on our friends to solve the problems for us? Let's find out!

If you guys think I cheated the Ryuji's Awakening fight.... you are right. But here's video proof showing that it's not only possible to get pass Ryuji's Awakening By Doing Nothing, but also doing it on Hard Difficulty where Ryuji can't just one shot the bicorns due to the triple damage buff given on Merciless Difficulty. th-cam.com/video/776obFogVCw/w-d-xo.html
Major props for this! Should definitely pin this by the by!
Luigi last name is Mario not Luigi

Pretty much

How do I delete all mens' phone numbers from my phone
I like the idea that the reason Joker isn't doing anything is because he's traumatised by all the crazy palace shit so the only thing he's willing to do is go to Marukis therapy
Dude that makes so much sense lmao
Everyone is like "it's okay man we gotchu-"
“Joker, why won’t you use that lockpick?”
“It’s a special item, I must keep it forever”
*Joker pats the lockpick*
Joker: "My precious."
It's his treasure, the key to his palace
@@silversabercraftDamn, that's poetic...
Definitely do the Maruki confidant
We can just rename this the depression run, where you don't have the motivation to do anything except for going to mandatory therapy.
You should max out Maruki's confidant. I wanna see this run get H A R D
that breaks the rules about real world activities.
Why hard?
@@ceoofcomedy3009 Eh, he should do it anyway
@@christopherpoblete8562 hardening
I agree
Unlocking the 3rd semester should fine within the challenges rule set and personally I would love to see how you and your chosen party fair in the late game.
Agreed completely, his abilities fit thematically with the run as well since there are some passives.
I am on my third playthrough of royal just to get the new ending
"No optional confidants"
But don’t you have to max aketchi confidant through a battle without anyone else
@@brennankildea5250 Most of his attacks are reflectable, shouldn't be too bad
I'm doing a challenge adjacent to this, I'm doing P5R with teammates set to full assault, and joker can only use support skills. It's been a ton of fun so far. Even on Hard, I never used the Wind Wall or Break skills, but I have to now.
Hmm. Fascinating idea!
Funny how the Wall and Break skills were used so much in 4, but literally never in 5. The only two times I can think where enemies use Wall skills is with the Apsaras/Hua Po squad in Madarame's Palace, where Apsaras will use Ice Wall to null the Hua Po's Ice weakness, and the Scathach + Cu Chulainn miniboss in Maruki's Palace, where Scathach will cover Cu Chulainn's weakness with Elec wall.
@@pizzacatiscute3658 Food man can be beated Joker only. The AI would only make it easier, heck I got a video to prove it's possible to solo on hard
Ishtar is going to be an essential persona.
Challenges tend to fall apart once you hit Okumura. I did a no direct commands (and no dlc) run and it got rough.
I feel like Maruki's Confidant would fall under story required, because you need it to get the true ending of the game
Human player against Madarame: "This boss is a joke, it's literally just a test of matching elements and colors and spamming that skill"
AI against Madarame: "Haha Dekaja go brrr"
The answer is yes. Most P5 fans have beaten it by doing literally nothing. They watched a walkthrough.
Damn, that's a roast and a half XD
@@DShy96 But am I wrong, honestly?
@@MIGU3L2K I dropped the game like 5 times and the farthest I've gotten is the pyramid palace. Its been about a year since I've played and I'm about to start over on hard and finally finish this shit. I also plan on getting the goth nurse to be the waifu. Im off to high school again boys!
@@mechoilwcaman2034 why’d you drop it? If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t force yourself to play it lol, that sounds torturous. It’s 100 HOURS.
I think Maruki counts as essential gameplay for Royal. Do it.
I see Luigi taught Joker in the ways of doing absolutely nothing after he joined Smash
Maxing out Maruki should be fine, you made a point his skills won’t do much and you cant fuse or gain any other benefits anyway, though I will add that if you can beat vanilla but not third semester I see it as a win. Basically see third semester as an optional challenge
I doubt he will get past Okumura though without breaking some rules.
Third semester is the only way to get the
TRUE ending in Royal
There are two *True* endings in Royal
Vanilla story True End {Kill the False God}
Royal True end is only reached by Completely maxing out Level 5 bond with Kasumi, max out rank 10 with Maruki and Reach level 7 of Akechi's bond.
To unlock the TRUE ROUTE
@@shelbybayer200 rank 8 with akechi
@@shelbybayer200 actually, you only need to reach Max rank with Maruki. You need to reach Rank 5 with Kasumi and 8 with Akechi to finish their confidant stories.
@@plushytv5295
From what I know
That's false
Kasumi's bond is required to get the 3rd semester from what I know
It's cause her Confidant story won't be able to truly progress beyond rank 5 and you can't get the true ending
The Faith Arcana is in two HALVES
The first 5 ranks are the Max of part 1 to the fall of the false god
Her true awakening from what I know from Walkthroughs online is only unlocked by Maxing her to 5 first
Then you complete Maruki's confident to 10 to unlock Arc 3 also called the 3rd Semester
- Akechi rank 8 {Can't believe I remembered it as rank 7}
- Kasumi rank 5 {Faith Arcana then is LOCKED for the remainder of the Vanilla campaign}
- Maruki Maxed out rank 10
All three are required to get the 3rd semester or ARC 3
That's why their Confidants work the way they do
Akechi's was to have a Deeper meaning to his "Death" as to hint his part in the 3rd semester as well as his supposed survival
Kasumi is locked at rank 5 because that's not who she really is, her Confidant is like a Passing of the torch from her False reality to her TRUE True self 5 ranks as Kasumi 5 ranks as her True identity
Maruki has a deep impact to the 3rd semester and the Final Palace as well as our Bond with him is supposed make us feel for him before the reveal if what he actually was doing all along
I'm very interested in how painful it is to fight Shido by doing absolutely nothing
“you’re a criminal”
“why, I haven’t done anything”
I say max out Maruki. The buffs he gives are inconsequential to the run and honestly will make it harder b/c days you spend bonding with him are days you could've spent grinding. Also, since you will almost certainly get to level 99 in the third semester, that one will be particularly difficult to beat doing nothing. :)
Good thing Morgana's a cat - he needs all those extra lives with how often he dies.
Looking... bored, Joker.
Just finished the 'Can you beat P5R without raising Social Stats' series and subbed, then noticed this.
Neat.
Thank you so much for the 50K views and everyone who subscribed! You've officially made this my third most popular video on this channel after my Top 7 Sonic 06 and Sonic Mania countdowns. I don't know when Part 2 will be released, whether it be December or January. A good chunk of the gameplay is just me grinding and pressing the guard button for hours which is quite a burnout experience, but I refuse to give up continuing this. But if you can continue your support by checking out my other videos or sharing this one, that would be greatly appreciated! I may release a few other videos in between till the release of Part 2 so I hope you can wait a little longer.
Hey, this run is impossible at Shido.
People are thinking Okumura might be hard or straight up impossible, but Shido will be literally impossible by the rules you set. The reason for that is the phase when he gets rid of all your teammates, and you have to fight him solo. You'll have to break your own rules to get past that.
I'd love to be proven wrong because this seems interesting, but otherwise, Shido is your run killer.
It would be kind of like the other Joker-only forced fights right? Like in the tutorial. Be kinda interested to see him fight Shido with his silly little Agathion XD
The ONE time Joker is willing to do anything, is to kick the bastard who sued him. Truly he's just making progression towards is recovery, Maruki's therapy is working !
The wiki says that True Artist's Grace targets all 4 party members, but the video shows that it can fail to land the paint effect, unlike the singular version that seems to be 100% accurate.
Realized that during editing, just didn't bother to correct myself.
If you constantly guard then the only way you can get hit by ailments is if another enemy breaks your guard first which is highly unlikely so I say max Maruki.
Something to note about Jose's name.
In the Japanese version, his name is ジョゼ
This is pronounced "jo-zey" so canonically the pronunciation of his name is indeed the way he says it, despite the Spanish pronunciation (where the name Jose is most common) being Hose.
I'd also like to think that Jose knows how to pronounce his own name, and that the actor was told how to pronounce it. in any situation if someone says "this is how my name is pronounced", even if it's not the traditional pronunciation, would we really argue with them?
I think the confusion comes from the localization’s notoriously bad pronunciation of certain words that aren’t in English (looking at you ryuji suck on my toe and diet building) and people just assuming that it’s said that way because whoever the voice director is THINKS jose is pronounced that way and we don’t have any reason to believe otherwise without actually looking into it ourselves
His name seems to use the portuguese pronunciation (with an english accent, I suppose)
@@pikazilla6405 I wish more people played in sub, it was really good 🥲

Imagine not doing a thing at home so you can play videogames and do nothing there as well, what a dream.
Watching this after playing SMT V reminds me that there isn't too much of a graphical difference between the two games, not that that's a bad thing. It was great Persona 5 actually had SMT demons as enemies instead of random chairs and shadows haha. I can't wait to see the next part, I liked that you made the videos detailed, amazing work.
Yeah been playing persona 4 golden and think its very strange it uses random items and has like 10 variations of beetles and dice

This is super late, but whenever the AI acts weird for an enemy you've seen before, it's helpful to analyze the persona. I use act freely for my party members a lot, and I've noticed sometimes the AI just doesn't recognize the personas! Clarifying the strengths, weaknesses, etc by using analyze has saved a lot of frustration in my experience
It's funny how much effort you have to put into a "do nothing run"
I think the more important question is: Can you beat life by doing absolutely nothing? Im having pretty good run right now.
I heavily disagree with your point about P3's combat. While it is worse then P4 and P5's direct commands the tactics system in P3 works fine most of the time. You have to realize that not only is the AI worse in P5 because you're supposed to use direct commands but you are also only using Act Freely. The AI does not act like that at all in P3 if you simply plan your tactics accordingly
agreed, i actually got through p3fes on my ps2 a few yrs ago w/o much hassle at all
Just wanted to say I really like your voice! You’re very engaging, while still sounding very chill. It’s like listening to a friend mess around while playing games together.
This was an absolute goddamn trip, I can't wait for a possible part 2
Ah yes another run I would like to see
I definitely think you should unlock the third semester. Given this isn't a hyper rigid run - and instead makes some mostly minor and reasonable exceptions - I think it totally fits within the ruleset.
Please get the third semester!

A lot of challenge runs sound like a tough but fun challenge. This one... sounds like an annoying slog. It does highlight the fact that OGP3 and FES are best left in the past. It would also appear that Morgana once trained under Mitsuru in the art of Always-use-status-effects Fu.
I think you should max out Maruki. Think of it like having to use the direct command for Riuji, it was a necessary cheat that was the only way to finish the run. In order to 'finish' the run (aka getting the true ending) you need to 'cheat' and max out Maruki
I didnt understand the game mechanics when i first played so i spent the first month playing baseball and didnt talk to a single confidant
I think you should do the 3rd semester cause of you can’t finish the 3rd semester at least you could do the vanilla ending so it’s best to try rather then not doing it
theres no way getting past the okumura boss if you make it that far, i hghly doubt the ai can handle the respawning minions phase of that battle on their own. even running just with my personal challenge of no dlc personas i had to step back and make specialized personas after failing a few times on my first blind playthrough
The dedication here… I salute you, sir.
You're only at 6 thousand subs? Dang you're really making us work for this! I want to see part two!
Luigis last name is mario
I came here expecting to see Luigi.
For the record, Persona 3 was made around being unable to control your party members. It's not archaic as you put it.
This run is absolutely insane. So much grinding
"PERSONA!"
* Spectral Luigi manifests beihind Joker *
I think you can break the rules for Maruki, it just gives you more content at the end of the day
Joker saw Luigi win countless smash battles this way and thought. I can absolutely do this too.
This is morgana’s favorite challenge
AMAZING Man , i already play this game 14 time and today was playing it , i will never get boring of play this masterpiece
14 times? My guy don’t you have like homework to do or something
@@Storm1Trooper5 (sorry for my bad grammar), I play it since 30 march 2020 until this day, and on weekends maybe 3-4 hours,, in the workday some of it doesn't even play , I am not an empty man
i mean it already 650 day since release date , and if i play speedrun it took about 20 hours to finish walkthrough
This run is basically Ren with the personality of an extremely sleepy Minato from persona 3.
At 5:55 technically Luigi's full name is Luigi Mario. Still love the reference though!
Mario: hey luigi P5R came out for the switch
Luigi:
Joker needs marukis confidant because he needs counseling on not being lazy. And how to be a better person
You should do the 3rd semester I wanna see it
Edit:also the tactics weren't bad in p3 in p4 and 5 they were worsened to the ground to the point of being a jerk move
3rd Semester can only be unlocked by getting rank 5 with Kasumi, rank 7 with Akechi and Rank 10 with Maruki
@@shelbybayer200 you actually only need to reach rank 10 with maruki to unlock third semester, the other two are optional
Super cool video! I just started replaying royal now that its on pc for the first time since I played it on ps3 years ago, was very interesting to see exactly what the different difficulties do, since I've chosen hard
I might be late on this, but I definitely think you should go for Maruki. In my opinion, going for the vanilla ending in a Royal challenge run is no different than making a deal with Yaldabaoth and saying you beat the game. Nah, go kick Maruki's ass.
Preview the grind for Kaneshiro's Palace in a stream I did here: th-cam.com/video/zd-oZXLVkPI/w-d-xo.html
How has nobody done a video on having allies attack of their own free will. That's right Persona 3 style!
But with Joker still able to act by the player's will.
Give me suggestions for other challenge runs: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScLR3nzEQ5XbHKU5_DrAsLHQHMON7LfbrseNIy-xPChtsXTrg/viewform?usp=sf_link
19:40 I actually had no idea you could get a different rooftop view on that menu when it’s raining 😮
Came for the "Do nothing" tactic ... stayed for the laughable AI
you should absolutely raise maruki for the third semester(if you can even beat okumaru, without Luigi), his perks hardly even effect the run.
-mindfullness/wakefullness do not matter when Luigi Luigi only guards unless an enemy sp drains him which is only helping the enemies anyway
-agathion already reduces Luigi Luigi's chances of being afflicted with ailments so occasional ailment removal from detox and detox EX will rarely if ever occur in the first place
-flow doesn't matter when Luigi Luigi won't be attacking/casting spells
This kinda run sounds just completely nerve wrecking...
Oh my god, this run is insane 😯 I have no idea how you’re gonna do this
It's okay to talk to maruki specifically because it gives you more to do later.
This is absolutely hilarious ... xD ...
There you go liked and subscribed , i really need to see this challenge till the end . ;P
Personally i would say maxing out Maruki is mandatory , since otherwise you could not confirm if its possible to beat the final story boss by doing nothing.
I wish you less suffering.
You have to send the card 3 days before the deadline. It’s there so you don’t hit the deadline too soon.
P5R but Joker have severe depression
Luigi, is that you?
It’s more a “doing the minimum to avoid the apocalypse” run xD
All this time, we thought Jokers main persona was Arsene, but it turns out it's Luigi!
I personally think acquiring new Personas and being able to swich between them should've been allowed (if asking for money and item were allowed), it would've been more interesting to see a run based on Personas you got from Joker doing nothing but guard :P
Going back and rewatching this, I am wondering, why not have access to the challenge battles? Your team can take care of them for some additional items to help in palaces and Joker would be standing there guarding like usual.
I am doing my own "Act Freely" run on Hard and the AI is decent enough, once they learn the target's weakness, they go for it, but the problem is for some reason, they are allergic to using their buffs, but at least Ann has enough sense to use her Dekaja when enemies start buffing up, which was actually useful in Yusuke's awakening battle.
It is actually really fun, playing around the AI, especially when you figure out how they operate. I am planning on making Joker a buff/debuff Persona at some point so my allies can take down enemies or heal if need be. Just need to figure out the appropriate one to put the attack, defense and accuracy/evasion buffs/debuffs on.
Yes please Max Maruki so you can do 3rd semester. While, yes it is "breaking" the rules, if you are able to make it to 3rd semester we can just infer that you would've made the end of vanilla without Maruki. Anyone over 10 should understand that I'm more interested in you overcoming the challenge otherwise like you said you shouldn't have started the game after the first prompt lol
5:53 It’s Luigi Mario
Max out Maruki, the third semester is going to be more difficult than anything else in the challenge, and the "buffs" don't do anything unless you're actually attacking with Joker.
For a run like this, why didn't you allow choosing indirect commands? For me, knowing how to use the persona 3 indirect commands allowed me to do incredible things like beating the fuuka intro bosses without the need of fuuka's abilities. I always hear people struggling with it but honestly it's just a mechanic that I think people don't really understand how to use. Keeping them on "abuse weaknesses" tends to solve literally all these problems for me.
Of course it's still amazing what you had done with joker doing as little as possible.
It’s titled “Can you beat Persona 5 ROYAL. So max out Maruki, boy
weird, in my game, whenever a new party character was added it was always set to act freely, and i had to manually change it to direct commands, there must be a setting somewhere that you missed bro
I would have said buying Revive items from Takemi should have been allowed so you party members can revive themselves, granted, that still won't save them from bad AI, but it may have reduced grinding time a little.
Jose is not necessarily wrong, that's how you would pronounce that name in portuguese for example.
Exactly. Lol, not sure if the voice actors knew about that. Guess it was the directors mispronouncing it. 🤣
when i grinded on shadows before saving ann i just went from the first room door back and fourth, no savung required
Finally, Luigi plays this game.
the black paint was how the original persona 5's fight ended the paintings were the whole boss no 2nd phase
Maxing out Maruki should happen because ultimately it's more content and fun for the audience.
Loved the vid, really gets the message of difficulty and challenge of the run across while still being entertaining.
Hey I’ve been meaning to ask. When you got stuck at doing Heavenly Punisher for Kamoshida’s Palace, why not go after him when everyone except for maybe Morgana is out of SP? The party’s competence (roughly speaking) and raw damage output for that fight straight up skyrockets only when they’re stuck resorting to Physical actions and HP is totally negligible since they all die horribly to a charged Cleave even at max HP, so by all accounts depriving the party of their means to do anything but beat up the winged knight barehanded would bypass the AI’s need to dawdle on how handle the boss and bump up the average DPS to make the fight reliable (as no Agi, Zio, or support skills take up turns that now go to just basic attacking). Or did something I didn’t account for go wrong with that approach and it just never came up in the video script?
This was the very 1st palace and I was still learning how to play the game in this way. But yeah theoretically if we got rid of the SP on Ann and Ryuji, then they would use physical attacks only.
@@NitsuaGamer Good to know for future reference. Best of luck to you on the Okumura Palace. At least you can fish around for the worker bot weaknesses before the boss proper.
But actually, I do go for a similar strategy for Okumura’s Palace, as you'll see when I release Part 2
I honestly don't think it matters if you max Maruki or not, as I can't imagine this getting past Okumura
Gaining masks through Shadows begging is actually useful. If you fill out your roster, you can replace Agathion and get better resistances.
you dont have to reload the save in kamoshidas palace 2nd infiltration in order to grind, you can just go to the room before the hallway to the enemies and that reloads the room
This is like that episode of South Park where Craig just tries to go home and gets roped into an adventure anyway
Whilst watching this in kamoshida’s palace I realised yusuke awakening will be hell
Just started watching this challenge because I've been playing P5R for the past weeks for hours every day myself (almost done!). And, I don't know if the challenge goes beyond the normal P5 ending, but if it does (which I'm gonna find out as I continue watching), I can imagine the last palace to get both, extremely annoying and entertaining. Since there's a certain someone getting hella pissed at Joker for everything he does or well, doesn't in that case, actually getting to play through that part of the game with no choice to just rush through everything, must be hilarious. 😂 Maybe I should start a challenge in new game+ too. Although I could very well see me get way too triggered by all those comments from Akechi about whatever I'm doing being completely wrong. Seriously, I'd probably make for a good source of entertainment to whoever's around while I'm playing, because I WILL definitely not let any of his comments uncommented. 😅
Yes, do Maruki's Confidant to unlock the True Ending.
Hmmm, nice challenge but holy cow is it sadistic. I enjoy it, kinda, but let's be real, it kind of boils down to grinding a ton and relying almost entirely on RNG, which if you ask me kind of defeats the purpose of a challenge run.
By the way, those saving issues can be easily avoided by just saving in different slots. That's kinda why you have them. There's not a rule that says "only use 1 save slot" is there?
Also, so AI Morgana is basically Mitsuru huh? Yaaay... I actually feel like the AI was (somewhat) less stupid in P3. My guess is that 99% of people don't bother with it so they didn't work it out as much. That and the combat system favoring it better such as being able to scan out enemy affinities there while here you mostly have to figure them out, leaving teammates to waste turns and SP trying stuff out (somewhere where aqcuiring Personas would help slightly, it gives you their full affinities for future non-boss encounters).
Oh, and if you continue, def do Maruki. But I'm not going to actively encourage continuing a run if you are finding it frustrating, tedious and unfun to do, I personally do not want a TH-camr to go through that for the sake of viewers.
Long comment, I know, but I had to put my thoughts out.
Befriend the doctor. It's gonna make the run that much harder later on.
Besides, not a true challenge if you're cutting off part of the storyline.
Act freely is hell no matter the game
