How to Get and Max the Fortune Confidant (Chihaya Hifune) in Persona 5
Chihaya Hifune is a psychic you can meet in Shinjuku at night (after unlocking the area). To be honest, her abilities are only useful if you’re trying to grind out money or a Social Stat, but she’s a pretty cool NPC and one of Persona 5’s romance options.
She’s an expensive bond to begin, so make sure you have at least 100,000 yen before heading to her. You’ll also have to complete a couple of requests before maxing her out. Below we’ve listed all the Fortune Confidant ranks and requirements as well as any special answers that will help. Answers marked “mandatory” must be chosen to progress those conversations.
Rank 1: Must complete “Ending the Boyfriend’s Abuse”, Unlocks Luck Reading
The request needed to start the Confidant bond with Chihaya is unlocked by first purchasing a stone from her (for 100,000 yen), then talking to her. Once you complete the request, head back and talk to her again to start things up.
