Unlocking every Social Link in Persona 3 requires players to complete specific side tasks and meet prerequisite social stats. One notable character encountered early on in Paulownia Mall is Nozomi Suemitsu, often referred to by players as the chubby student or the Gourmet King. To initiate his arc and establish the Moon Social Link, players must answer his food trivia questions correctly and offer him a specific food item.
Finding the Chubby Student and Prerequisites
Before you can interact with Nozomi at Paulownia Mall, you need to hear about him from Kenji Tomochika after reaching Rank 3 in the Magician Social Link. In addition to unlocking the rumor, your character must reach Rank 3 in Charm before Nozomi will engage in conversation. He can typically be found sitting on a bench near the fountain area during daytime hours.
Correct Quiz Answers for Nozomi
When you approach Nozomi, he tests your culinary knowledge with a short three-question quiz to see if you are worthy of his friendship. The first question asks about the most popular drink at the local cafe, and the correct answer is Pheromone Coffee. For the second question regarding the color of the Wild-duck Burger mascot, select Red or Green depending on the game version. Finally, when asked about the secret menu item at Hagakure, select Hagakure Bowl.
Required Food Item to Unlock Moon Social Link
Passing the quiz alone will not fully unlock Nozomi's Social Link, as he demands proof of your devotion to fine food. He requests that you bring him an unusual food item that he has never tasted before. The required item is an Odd Morsel, which can be found randomly inside treasure chests while exploring the lower floors of Tartarus. Handing over this item completes the initiation process and establishes the Moon Social Link.
