Sojiro Sakura Confidant Guide
The Hierophant Confidant in Persona 5 Royal is Sojiro Sakura. The fusion of Kohryu can be unlocked by maxing out his Confidant. Near the end, he will also give the player an item that, if Sojiro’s Confidant is unlocked in New Game Plus, enables all cooking and brewing mechanics.
Availability of Sojiro Sakura
Sojiro is available every night of the week, excluding Wednesdays, for interaction. He is available all day on rainy days. He works behind the bar at Cafe Leblanc all the time.
Please take note that some game occurrences may overrule this.
Sojiro’s Confidant can be launched whenever, but it cannot advance past Rank 4 until the “Pyramid of Wrath” Palace deadline has passed.
High exam scores can increase the number of confidant points you receive. Additionally, certain actions earn points, such as brewing coffee and having Sojiro sample it or cleaning Leblanc.
