The world of Persona 3 is filled with some of the most memorable side characters in JRPG. Because this was the first game to introduce the franchise’s now iconic social link mechanic, nearly every character’s writing was top notch to sell it to gamers. One of the best Social Links in this game is that of Maiko’s, where you help a young girl understand why her parents are going through a divorce. This Social Link can have some tough decisions to make because of that. If you are having trouble with it, here are the answers for the Persona 3 Reload Maiko Social Link!

Maiko’s Social Link in Persona 3 Reload

To start Maiko’s Social Link you must first buy some Takoyaki from Octopia in the Iwatodai Station Strip Mall. After giving her the takoyaki she’ll proceed to ask you for some Mad Bull soda, which can be bought from a vending machine in Iwatodai Station.

After giving Maiko the food she desires you will be able to begin her social link. She is hanging around the Naganaki Shrine on nearly all days of the week. Because the choices you make during the Social Link’s first rank don’t effect your relationship with her, this guide will begin at Rank 2.

Rank 2

“My tummy’s grumbling! Can we go to Wilduck?”

  • Sure, let’s go. (+3)
  • Let’s keep playing. (+0)

“Why would they get a divorce?”

  • It’s probably your fault (+0)
  • I don’t know (+0)

Rank 3

“…And who are you?”

  • That should be enough. (+3)
