Okay, so I wanted to get my hands on the Vicious Raven in Persona 3 Reload. I’d heard it was a pretty cool Persona, and, well, I’m a bit of a collector. I like having all the options, you know?
Starting the Hunt
First things first, I needed to figure out where to even start looking. I did some digging, poked around a few forums (nothing specific, just general chatter), and it seemed like it was something I could get through fusion. That meant I needed to start messing around in the Velvet Room.

Trial and Error (Lots of It!)
I spent a good chunk of time just fusing Personas. Seriously, a LOT of time. I’d grab whatever I had in my stock, mash them together, and see what popped out. Most of the time, it was stuff I already had, or just… not very good. I kept a little notepad next to me and started jotting down combinations that didn’t work, just to avoid repeating myself too much. It was pretty messy, to be honest. My notes were all over the place.
Getting Warmer…
After a while, I started to get a feel for the fusion system. It’s not totally random, there’s definitely some kind of logic to it, even if I couldn’t tell you the exact rules. I started focusing on Personas with certain Arcana, trying to narrow down the possibilities. I remember trying a bunch of combinations with the Death Arcana, since that seemed to be a common thread in my research.
Finally Got It!
Then, bam! I finally got it. I can’t even remember the exact combination I used, because like I said, my notes were a mess. I remember that I had to use Hua Po and Yaksha.
It wasn’t some super-secret, ultra-rare combo or anything. I’m pretty sure it was just a matter of persistent trial and error.
My Takeaway?
The whole process was kind of a grind, but also pretty satisfying. It’s like solving a puzzle, except you don’t know the picture you’re trying to make. My advice? Just keep experimenting, don’t be afraid to try weird combinations, and keep track of what you’ve already done. And maybe keep your notes a little tidier than I did!
