If you’re struggling to make money in Persona 5, this guide will show you an easy and effective way to farm Yen using the Confuse Money Farming Method. With the right setup, you can earn millions of yen quickly by exploiting enemy confusion mechanics, particularly against Mementos bosses.
Step 1: Getting the Right Persona
The key to this method is using a Persona with high Luck and the ability to inflict Confuse. The best option is Sandman, but if you can’t get him, any Persona with high Luck will work.
How to Prepare:
- Find or fuse a Persona with high Luck.
- Sandman is an excellent choice.
- If you don’t have Sandman, look for other Personas with naturally high Luck.
- Ensure your Persona has a Confuse skill.
- Pulinpa is a common Confuse-inflicting move.
- Confuse Boost (obtained at level 15 on Onmoraki) increases the chance of inflicting Confuse.
- Strengthen your Persona’s Luck stat.
- The higher your Luck, the more money enemies will drop when confused.
Step 2: Setting Up for Confuse Money Farming
Once you have a high-Luck Persona with Confuse, you’re ready to start farming Yen. To maximize efficiency, follow these steps:
1. Enter Mementos and Drop Your Party Members
- Only use Joker to avoid party members attacking enemies unnecessarily.
- This method works best when you can keep enemies alive as long as possible.
2. Find a Boss in Mementos
- This method is most effective against Mementos bosses found in side missions.
- Most bosses can be confused, except for a few in the early game.
3. Spam Confuse on the Boss
- Repeatedly cast your Confuse skill.
- When enemies are confused, they may drop large amounts of money each turn.
- Higher Luck = More money per drop.
4. Keep the Boss Confused and Farm Money
- Don’t defeat the boss immediately—keep using Confuse until you run out of SP.
- You can restore SP using items if you want to continue farming.
5. Escape the Battle to Reset the Fight
- Once you run out of SP, use an Escape item to leave the battle.
- Re-engage the boss and repeat the Confuse method to keep earning money.
- Items like Smokescreens (bought from Takemi’s clinic) guarantee a successful escape.
Step 3: Maximizing Profits
1. Use SP Recovery Items
- Stock up on SP-recovery drinks from vending machines:
- Bathhouse (Yongen-Jaya) – 4 SP drinks per week.
- School Courtyard (Shujin Academy) – 2 SP drinks per week.
- Use Somas or SP Adhesives (from Takemi’s clinic) to extend your farming sessions.
2. Sell High-Value Items
- If you have the Healing Item DLC, sell Soma at Untouchable (Iwai’s shop) for 50,000 Yen.
- This gives an early-game money boost.
3. Use Confuse on Other High-Yield Shadows
- Some regular Mementos enemies also drop a lot of money when confused.
- Prioritize stronger Shadows for better payouts.
How Much Money Can You Make?
With a properly set up high-Luck Persona and Confuse strategy:
- Regular enemies drop ~700-1,000 Yen per Confuse proc.
- Mementos bosses can drop 7,000-9,000 Yen per Confuse proc.
- Some players have farmed 999,999 Yen in just a couple of hours!
Final Tips for Money Farming
- Always aim for high Luck Personas.
- Confuse is your best friend—maximize your chances with Confuse Boost.
- Stock up on SP-recovery items to keep farming efficiently.
- Prioritize bosses in Mementos requests for the biggest payouts.
By following this guide, you’ll never have to worry about money in Persona 5 again. Use your earnings to buy powerful gear, accessories, and Confidant upgrades to make your playthrough much easier.
