Any tips?

I spent like 4 days clearing the first dungeon on normal difficulty, my MP just kept draining. I don’t remember ever taking that long in any Persona game to finish a dungeon, but I was running without a mage. I didn’t know the mage regenerates MP from low-level enemies. Got any other advice for making it through?

You don't need to rush through the dungeons, Time management is your friend and you can teleport back to any of the Safe Zones you find in the dungeons once you've rested at them. If your having trouble with MP leaving the dungeon to heal up is a fine strategy.

Later on you also get an archetype that has the ability to Steal MP which you can put on anyone who's mana hungry like a Mage or Healer.

Mana Steal and Mana Regeneration are pretty weak.

learn to conserve MP and make use of your items rather than your skills. First story dungeon is really long, other dungeons after the first one are shorter. although i just finished the second story dungeon.

I'm confused as to how you're burning so much MP. First dungeon the main enemies are undead who are weak to blunt and light. By that point you should have access to the mage, healer and brawler, and possibly even the merchant. All of whom deal blunt damage with their regular melee attack. Mage is also useful for fire damage to deal with the dogs.

i haven’t touched mage and i’ve made it through every dungeon in one day on hard so far. (about to finish location 3.) double brawler + healer is enough to take on almost all the encounters in the first dungeon manaless. stock up on healing items and use the knight’s first aid in between fights to sustain with as little mana as possible.

if you wait a little longer, you can go in with merchants. throw coins at people and get money back once you’re strong enough in the overworld.

I dunno, I used seeker, warrior, and knight to clear the whole dungeon. Probably messed up by picking the wrong classes, and by the time I finished the dungeon, I was only level 13

I’m not sure if anyone’s said it, but I found a trick from someone else that’s made the game feel playable without mana issues

Equip mage on your main character, take out enemies that can be instantly killed, leave the area or go into a safe zone then come back. Enemies will respawn, then repeat above steps

You can use safe rooms to teleport to safe zones you’ve been to so you can always get to instant kill enemies for mana

Play in easy difficulty i am trying to finish dungeon in 1 day like persona. İ believe in myself so much that and start to play in normal and that couse me 1 more day. You must use sinerjic attack to with this you can save your mp and kill more enemy more easily. And if you want you can change difficulty anytime anywhere.

The 1st dungeon was clearly designed for more than 1-2 days if you don't use brawler. It's gigantic and with a lot of bosses compared to the 2nd dungeon that anyone can complete in 1 day.
