Persona 3 Reload “Gourmet King” Nozomi Suemitsu Moon Social Link Guide
The Moon Social Link in Persona 3 Reload is advanced by meeting
Nozomi Suemitsu is available on all days during the daytime, even during exam days or non-school days. He's also relatively easy to level up.
The Gourmet King Social Link becomes available after you hear about him from Kenji Tomochika by leveling up the Magician Social Link to 4. Nozomi Suemitsu requires Rank 2 Charm on the protagonist for him to pay attention to you and initiate his Social Link. Once past this requirement, he will ask you a series of questions and request an Odd Morsel from you.
Odd Morsels can be picked up from the lower floors of Tartarus.
As with any of the other Social Links in the Persona series, having a Persona of the Moon Arcana in your stock will increase each interaction by one point and will speed up the progress of the Social Link.
The protagonist will receive a Gourmet License from Nozomi Suemitsu when the Moon Social Link reaches Rank 10. This item unlocks the fusion of Sandalphon.
