Persona 2: Innocent Sin Walkthrough Part 5 – The Club Zodiac

Head into the Zodiac. You need to make your way all the way into the back. There you will find the actual club. Inside a scene will run if you talked with everyone in Sevens. This is followed by the Cuss students revealing that there is a new leader of Cuss High, Hiroki Sugimoto. This gets Michel to run off and leave the party until you make it to the boss here. Now take some time to talk with everyone here in the bar. You want to talk specifically with the employee in the top left. She tells you about how Floor 2 of the Zodiac Club is a maze. Run back to Hirasaka and spread the rumor about the second floor. This will give you access to many more items than you would get otherwise.

Now head through the back door that Michel went through. Through there you will start encountering the Demons. Take some time to track down the Blobs and form a pact with them. They will give you a Poisma Card. You can use use this with a Persona summoning to get one that knows Poisma.

Between Pixie and Poltergeist, who you should summon now, add Poisma to Poltergeist. Time for a few new Fusion Spells:
Stone Rise: Agi + Garu + Magna
Poison Claw Ex: Poisma + Feral Claw

Aim to rank them up to at least 5, preferably 8, and your party to level 9. Try to build up a good stock of items and money at this time.

Now start for Floor 2
Time to explore and collect a lot of items. Head west from there to find an Agi Card in the chest. Head east after that to find a Zio Card. Past the Zio Card, to the Northeast is a Dia Card. Now head south. When you can go West to find a Free Card. Next go south and west and you will find a door to the North of you. Inside you will find Trish's Spring. She offers healing, if sometimes for a high price. Head south and east from there to find a chest with a Magna Card inside it. Continue to the east to find the staff room and learn a little more about what is going on. Now head West from the Staff room you will find a chest with 3 Medicine inside it. Head North from there to find a chest with a Garu card inside it. Go Southwest, around the bend, after that to find an Aqua Card inside another chest. Continue Southwest to find the entrance to Floor 3.

Floor 3
Compared to the other floors this is very simple. To get into the “Secret Lounge” you need first get something though so do not try immediately. Head to the north then go East and finally South. You will find another Staff Room. Inside there, in the back by the couch, you will find a box and inside it will be a strange mask. Collect it then head for the lounge that you passed on your way over.

Inside you will find Michel and the new boss of Cuss High. It is a long scene where the truth about Kozy is revealed to Michel. After this you are given the chance to either step in, and fight Hiroki, or wait for Michel to resolve this. It is best to let Michel resolve this (it comes up again later in the game) on his own. Still you have the option to and this how one could fight him below:

Hiroki
He has a persona but he did not seem to use it all that much. Combine your team up and set them into fusion spells. Save Maya/Ginko, provided they have dia or media. Have the rest of the team up with their fusion spells. This will give you plenty of damage output on this. He can do fair amount of damage hence the need to keep someone to heal the team.

After the fight he is very beat up. He confirms that he was ordered to ruin the reputation of Sevens by the Student Council president of Cuss High. Michel tries to approach Kozy who runs out on him in tears. The party agrees it is time to head for Cuss High.
