First of all if the title didn't warn you enough this topic is detailing the Pierrot s.link and thus is full of spoilers along with many screenshots that show insanely spoilerific cutscenes. If you view this topic and complain about being spoiled...

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! THERE WILL BE NO SPOILER TAGS!









Pierrot/Lust (Adachi)
Initiation: Anytime after 5/13, just talk to him at the entrance of Junes

For the first 6 ranks you'll have to advance the s.link as if it was a normal link.

Schedule, approximately the same as Dojima's schedule except...
Cut-off date: 11/2
Rank 1, 2 and 6 are during the day (find him at the Junes entrance)
Rank 3, 4 and 5 are during the night (find him near the gas station)

If you want the correct answers for extra points during rank up scenes check one of the Japanese wikis.

After this, you'll notice that Adachi never seems to have time to hang out with you during night or day. But if you've managed to reach rank 6 it will level up later through events.

Rank 6 to 7
After clearing Heaven this rank up will automatically happen immediately after Kuma's/Teddie's rank 9 event. Nothing serious, just Adachi watching over Dojima making sure he doesn't run around since he's y'know sort of still injured from the accident.

Rank 7 to 8
Automatically after going for the normal ending route and visiting Nanako again.

Again nothing really great happens here we all know you want to get to the good stuff...


First up, advance the game til 12/5 and ask around for information as usual. Try to save in a spot where you won't have to re-ask too many people because next up is a major choice

Then identify the true criminal as normal

However...

We spent a few meaningless scenes with him!! Here's a few flashbacks to make us pretend to care!!

Next up is your choice of how you want to max the s.link. Choose 1 if you want to continue as normal but if you don't...

Accomplice Ending

First lets start off by not telling our friends we suspect Adachi.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-175619.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-175641.jpg

The correct answers are highlighted here. If you pick anything else you will inform your friends as normal that you suspect Adachi is the killer and will be on the path to the normal ending. But if you do pick these the game will immediately skip to 3/20...

It is now the day before you're about to leave but the truth is still bugging you. Remember you only suspect Adachi did it and haven't actually confirmed it... the following screenshots show the answers you pick to open up this new ending:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-175857.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-175938.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180033.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180052.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180125.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180354.jpg

(Note: If you choose wrong on any of these choices the link will not max and it will skip to the next day. From then on you're watching the bad ending where you failed to name the killer. So reset.)

But if you did choose these...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180410.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180426.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180435.jpg

Needless to say... you really, REALLY shouldn't have done this

Adachi is absolutely hysterical about this outcome reminding you just what you've done and constantly mocking you as much as he can. “Accomplice”? Heck no! Based on his mockery it's more like you are his pawn. You then receive a call on your cellphone...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180515.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180529.jpg

It's Adachi... calling you so that you can get his cellphone number and then the s.link maxes. Wait WHAT? Where's rank 9? There is no Pierrot rank 9, it immediately jumps up from rank 8 to max when you do this.

After this event the game advances to 3/21 where...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-180849.jpg

Oh surprise! Surprise!!! Namatame was found guilty of killing Mayumi and Saki!! Don't you just feel so great about helping him yet? You then get the foggy ending and the black credits screen along with a brand spanking new ending cutscene...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-181655.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-181705.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-181714.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-181857.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-182122.jpg

Adachi just so happens to be walking near where the train is... the MC holds up his cellphone... Adachi smirks... and the MC clenches the cellphone in disgust. All complete with no music at all and eerie sound effects to make you think “I can't believe I just did that...”

GAME OVER

Since this is an animated cutscene it is added to your cutscene viewer so you can watch it over and over and over and over. You can also save your clear data but don't bother doing that and reload your save at 12/5.

Now instead of backstabbing your friends lets do this s.link the way you're supposed to do it. Advance the story to 12/7 until after this event...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-193624.jpg

You'll notice some new dialogue at the end where Rise senses something about you that is odd and Yosuke pleads that regardless of what you do you won't meet up with Adachi alone... riiiiight?



Pierrot to Lust Shift

Heheh. Nope!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195404.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195441.jpg

Choose 1 to go meet up with Adachi... alone. (Note: There is absolutely nothing bad about doing this and you MUST meet with him in order to advance the s.link. You are NOT betraying your friends here)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195511.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195526.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195546.jpg

The MC then heads off to Junes, checking around to make sure Yosuke isn't there so that he can meet up with Adachi on his own. The entrance to Magatsu Inaba vanishes and you hear Adachi's voice...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195554.jpg

!!

Uh oh... maybe this wasn't the best idea...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195611.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195631.jpg

Adachi asks if you've come alone and then does a bit of mocking about how you guys are just going around to beat up the bad guys and that it was an insanely bad idea for you to come here alone. Then reminds you of what he said before and that the time for chit-chat... is over...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195724.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195740.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195747.jpg

Hahah! Psyche. It's a good thing Adachi loves ****ing around with you and doesn't want his “game” to be easy. He gives you one final reminder that he will not listen to anything you have to say... then...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195816.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195824.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195843.jpg

The Pierrot Arcana now shatters and changes into the Lust Arcana. Adachi vanishes after taunting the MC that this place will be the place where the MC and his friends die. The MC leaves.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195925.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-195954.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-02-200031.jpg

“Welcome back”

Heheh, Yosuke knew you'd go all along!! He's not mad at all since he knew you had to confirm if anything could be done to avoid fighting Adachi and is glad that you're safe.

The game then advances to the next day and you can continue as normal.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/krw703/2012-07-03-184518.jpg

As for the remainder of the Lust level ups
Rank 8 to 9: Automatically after defeating Ameno Sagiri
Rank 9 to MAX: Automatically on 3/20 after opening up the true ending route. Obtained “Adachi's Letter” as the max s.link item

Please remember that Pierrot and Lust are the exact same Arcana as far as the game is concerned.




You guys can post now by the way

What do the first 6 S.link ranks talk about anyway? Surely they can't be worth becoming Adachi's puppet.

Eh nothing really that important.

Half of them are him avoiding an old lady that is giving him a tough time and treating him like a child.

The ones during the night are just him hanging out at your house and 1UPing your magic tricks for Nanako in one of them. HEY!! I'm the one who shows Nanako magic tricks!!!

Hehe funny story. I have auto-advance on so that I don't have to hear that annoying "click" sound that's made when you advance dialogue and when I snapped the picture before that... I almost missed taking the picture of the evil laugh.

I was like.... oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!! They're definitely going to want to see that pic! Save faster so I can snap another screenshot!!

Really? On one hand I'm glad there isn't anything new to woobiefy Adachi on the other it on cements the fact that Adachi commited murders because he's a big baby.
