Unlocking every Social Link in Persona 3 requires paying close attention to various NPCs scattered throughout Iwatodai. One notable encounter involves Nozomi Suemitsu, often referred to as the chubby student hanging around Paulownia Mall. To initiate his storyline and earn unique bonuses, players must complete a quick food-themed quiz to prove their culinary knowledge.
How to Find and Start the Chubby Student Quiz
Before you can attempt the quiz, you must reach Rank 4 with Kenji Tomochika, the Magician Social Link. Once this requirement is met, head to Paulownia Mall during the daytime and approach the chubby student standing near the fountain. Speaking to him will prompt a series of questions regarding local dining spots in the city.
Correct Quiz Answers for Nozomi Suemitsu
Passing Nozomi's quiz relies on knowing specific dishes sold across the different restaurants in town. When prompted about the top food options, choose Azumi Tea, Hagakure Bowl, and Seafood Full Course. Providing these three correct answers in sequence convinces Nozomi that you share his passion for fine dining.
Unlocking the Moon Social Link and Key Rewards
After successfully answering the questions, Nozomi will ask you to bring him an Odd Morsel, an item commonly found inside chest containers in Tartarus. Delivering this item officially establishes the Moon Social Link with the Gourmet King. Advancing this Social Link allows players to fuse powerful Personas, culminating in access to Sandalphon once the bond reaches maximum rank.
