Welcome to NGB and our Persona 3 Reload Sun Social Link guide. Here we’ll cover how to start the Sun Social Link along with what you’ll need to do to increase its rank and the correct answers to the questions asked by Akinari Kamiki. When you reach Rank 10, you’ll unlock the ability to fuse the Persona, Asura. You’ll also be given a Worn Notebook which will give you the perks of having a Rank 10 Sun Social Link in New Game Plus.
How to Start the Sun Social Link
In order to start the Sun Social Link, you’ll first need to progress the Hanged Man Social Link to Level 3. This will introduce Akinari to you. After that, you’ll need to raise your Academics Social Stat to Rank 4, Smart. Once you’ve done that, speak with him on the bench at the shrine. He’ll mention that he lost his Red Fountain Pen and strongly hint that he wants you to find it. Return to the Student Dormitory and locate Koromaru. Speak with him to find the pen. Return it to Akinair and choose to spend time with him. Time will pass but you’ll gain the Sun Social Link.
