The fifth section of the Desert of Doors brings you into the Ptolomea door inPersona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis -The Answer-. And though you and the team are practically pros again when it comes to using your Personas, you’re still up against some tough fights in Ptolomea.

Once again divided into three sections with wildly different aesthetics in each, Ptolomea is your fifth section in the Abyss of Time. There’s not much out of the ordinary to take note of, but the Shadows you’ll face as you push your way to the end of Ptolomea should not be underestimated.

Ptolomea Overview

The decoration once you’ve reached the Ptolomea door, the fifth door in the Abyss of Time, should start to ring familiar, since a lot of it gets recycled from earlier sections in the Desert of Doors. It’ll change fairly often, since Ptolomea is divided intothree sections.

Between each of them,you and the teamwill need to battle your way through25 floorsin the Ptolomea door in Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis. Like before, the final door guardian battle in the Ptolomea door doesn’t lead you to the end of the section - that’s a few floors later, so be prepared to fight on.
