    Starting in the second Palace, you'll be introduced to Treasure Demons by Mona. These Shadows hide in destructible loot throughout the Palaces (and in Mementos as rare sightings) and reward you immensely for destroying them. You may also attempt to recruit it into your team. For this trophy, there is a bit of a catch to trigger it:

    Defeat and recruit a Treasure Demon into your roster without it needing to replace another. There is a bit of a bug where the trophy won't recognize it getting in your team unless there is an empty slot for it to slide into. Be mindful of this upon your first introduction to them and you may well be able to get this trophy soon thereafter.

    KTKarona@LeosLastWill: There is an Atom accessory in Madarame's palace, it seems? This gives you Frei to the person you attach it to. You can use this during the interactions against Regent. If you're like me, you might have to wait for Queen's Necklace in Kaneshiro's in order to get this trophy, or if you encounter a deviation in Mementos that allows for Regent to appear.

    Ah, I was wondering what the issue was - I got a Regent in Momentos and a Queen's Necklace in the third palace without it popping.

    KTKarona@stordoff: I was perplexed as well when I had caught several and was ahead of a friend, but he got the trophy before me. After I got the trophy, he stated he always had an empty space for incoming Persona.

    This can be easily done with the scripted introduction to Treasure Demons during the 2nd Palace (Museum). This first encounter is with an enemy that is weak to Nuke & Psy.

    It's likely that none of your Personas have these elemental attacks at this point. Before going up the stairs to the second floor, toward the end of the first floor, right after the first Safe Room is an exhibition hall. There is a door adjacent to the Safe Room, near the entrance to this exhibition hall, which leads to a long hallway with an enemy and a chest at the end. This chest contains an Atom Ring, which will give Joker a Nuke move when equipped.

    After obtaining & equipping this ring, proceed to the next floor where you go through the scripted sequence introducing you to Treasure Demons. Once you start the fight, use the Nuke move "Frei" to immediately knock down & recruit the Treasure Demon.
