In Persona 3 Reload, boosting your Charm stat involves answering classroom quiz questions correctly. On 4/18, Mr. Ono challenges you with the question, “The places where people dumped their waste in the Jomon period – what are they called nowadays?” Here’s how to ace it in P3R.
The Places Where People Dumped Their Waste in the Jomon Period
Mr. Ono offers no context for this question, leaving you to guess the answer. Your options are Boneyards, Middens, or Hovels. While “Boneyards” might seem plausible, the correct response is “Middens.” Get it right, and you’ll earn a +1 Charm bonus.
For those curious about historical context, a “midden” refers to a dunghill used as a refuse heap. Middens were prevalent in ancient civilizations worldwide, serving as garbage dumps for various waste materials, including animal remains, botanical items, mollusk shells, and human waste. Archaeologists value middens for insights into past human settlements’ diets and activities.
During Which Historical Period Were Middens Most Commonly Used?
On 5/22, during your midterm exams in Persona 3 Reload, a history question tests your knowledge of middens. The question asks, “During which historical period were middens most commonly used?” You must select from four options: Jomon, Yayoi, Kofun, and Asuka.
If you recall Mr. Ono’s lesson, you’ll choose “Jomon” as the correct answer. Although this doesn’t boost your Social Stat, it contributes to your overall midterm score, impacting your Charm boost received at the week’s end.
Speaking with Mitsuru post-midterms rewards you with:
- Power Increase I.
- Guard Increase I.
- Magic Increase I.
- Speed Increase I.
- Proto-Choker (for the highest score).
Achieving the highest score is challenging unless you’ve diligently leveled your Academics stat to level 3. Check out our Persona 3 May Test Answers guide for tips on how to achieve this.
