In Persona 3 Reload, acquiring specific consumable items is often essential for progressing through Elizabeth's Velvet Room requests. One item that frequently puzzles players is the Chilled Taiyaki, which is necessary to complete Request 38. Understanding the exact sequence of steps ensures you do not waste valuable in-game days searching in the wrong places.
Unlocking the Lukewarm Taiyaki at School
Before you can obtain a chilled version, you must first gain access to the base item sold at Gekkoukan High School. Head to Club Escapade at Paulownia Mall during the evening once your Courage stat reaches the Ordinary rank. Speak with the informant sitting in the back right corner to purchase the School X Site Note for 500 yen.
After acquiring the note, return to the student dorm and log onto the shared computer located in the main lounge. Browsing the site unlocks a secret menu item at the school store on the first floor. The store vendor will now sell Lukewarm Taiyaki for 200 yen during regular school days.
Using the Dorm Refrigerator
Once you purchase the Lukewarm Taiyaki, you need to use the first-floor kitchen refrigerator in the dorm to chill it. Interact with the fridge during After School or Evening phases to check if space is available. The system will notify you when the fridge is cleared out, allowing you to place your snack inside.
Leaving the item in the refrigerator overnight allows it to transform into a Chilled Taiyaki by the following day. However, keep in mind that other dorm residents or staff members may occasionally tamper with items stored in the fridge. If your first attempt yields a different item, simply repeat the process with a second stored taiyaki.
Completing Elizabeth Request 38
Having a Chilled Taiyaki in your inventory allows you to visit Elizabeth at the Velvet Room entrance and complete Request 38. Handing over the sweet treat fulfills her request and earns you a valuable crafting reward. This material can later be brought to Mayoido Antiques to forge powerful specialized equipment for your party members.
In addition to fulfilling quest requirements, Chilled Taiyaki serves as an effective restorative item during Tartarus exploration. Keeping extra snacks in stock provides a quick HP recovery boost when navigating challenging boss encounters. Following these simple steps guarantees you never miss out on key quest progression.
