Increase Knowledge in Persona 5 Phantom X

Raising Knowledge in Persona 5: The Phantom X grants players access to various city activities, new synergy ranks with Confidants, and new items at the bookstore in Shinjuku. Here are all the methods you can increase the Knowledge social stat in P5X.

Attending Classes in School

Increase Knowledge in Classroom Persona 5 Phantom X

At the start of every day, Wonder will be attending classes at the school, which will often be followed by a question from one of the teachers. Answering the classroom questions correctly will increase your knowledge stat by several points. While this is a random event, it has a high chance of occurring almost every day and does not cost Action Points.

Watching Movies that Raise Knowledge

Increase Knowledge in Movie Theater or Diner Persona 5 Phantom X

During the Afterschool timeframe, players will have an option to see a movie at the theater in Shibuya as a city activity. This will cost 1x Action Point and some money, but there is a range of movies to choose from. Make sure to select the one that has a glasses icon underneath it to gain knowledge points and raise its overall level in P5X.

If you're short on cash, you can try doing part-time jobs at the Beef Bowl, the Convenience Store, and the Flower Shop.

Studying at the Library, Home, or the Diner

During various timeframes of the day, players will have the option to either study at the Library, Diner, or back home. Investing Action Points in this option will get Wonder to study and raise the Knowledge stat.

Some options, like the Diner, may require you to spend money before being able to study there.

Buying and Reading the Starvation of the Mind Book

Increase Knowledge by Buying and Reading Books Persona 5 Phantom X

If players visit the Bookstore in Jinbocho, they'll be able to purchase some books for Wonder to read in their spare time. Make sure to purchase the book called "Starvation of the Mind," which costs 2000 cash.

At random events, especially while taking the metro between places, Wonder will have the option to read a book from their collection. Make sure to read this book when it happens to raise your knowledge points without spending any Action Points in Persona 5: The Phantom X.
