How to Unlock Nightmare's Gateway

Join a Companio and Reach Level 40

Persona 5 Phantom X - Join a Companio

First off, you must join any Companio to see the gateway itself. However, accessing it will still be barred until you are Level 40.

After reaching Level 40 and progressing through Miyazawa's Palace, you will receive a sidequest called "Erosion by Nightmare" that should fully unlock the gateway for you to participate in the Nightmare's Gateways!

General Tips for Nightmare's Gateway

Utilize Companio Assists

Nightmare
If you deem that a specific character can help you clear the last stretch of points, coordinate with your Companio so that they can set the optimal teammate for you to optimize your point acquisition.

However, it is best that you join a competent Companio as you can only get assistance from your guild when facing the Nightmare's Gateways!
How to Join Companio and Benefits

Design Your Team Around Weaknesses

Nightmare
For the most part, all Nightmare's Gateways are designed around being weak or vulnerable to a specific element or playstyle. Make sure to study the enemy intel after selecting the gateway before you set your team since you will need to reset your score if you plan to change team members.

Set Presets for Each Affinity

Nightmare
To future-proof your team compositions against new Nightmare's Gateways, opt to fix up your team presets designed around certain affinity groups. To do so, press the Preset button on the top right and this should allow you to choose your desired team composition efficiently!

Use Food Buffs

Cooking Screen
As the Nightmare's Gateways are based around dealing as much damage as possible to build up points, every small but additional percentage to your stats counts. Food buffs such as additional +8% Attack from the Sweet Kinako Mochi can go a long way!
