Mementos Depths is the eighth dungeon, It can be missed if you pick the bad ending after the Casino Palace. If you're on the path to the true ending then you will be asked to enter Mementos on 12/24 to finish another dungeon that functions a lot like a palace. This dungeon is at the very bottom of Mementos, so if you haven't been clearing areas of Mementos during your free time then you'll have to do all 60+ floors in one go.

All floors of Mementos will be available to the player following the scenes taking place after the Cruiser Palace deadline. Each Path is unlocked after the deadline is reached for the palaces in the game, as follows:
After reaching the last area in the Path of Sheriruth on 12/24, enter a door that was previously locked and enter the Path of Iweleth. After crossing through this path, you will need to complete two dungeons in order:

The Path Chosen
Watched the ending.
Story related. Personal 5 Royal has six main endings that lead to the credits, not counting the Palace bad endings that just reset to a week earlier. As the Palace bad endings do not lead to the credits and just reset to a week earlier, this achievement is not missable. The endings are as follows:

• Palace bad endings (fail to meet any Palace requirements by the deadline, reversible)
  
• Persona 5 bad ending 1
  
• Persona 5 bad ending 2
  
• Persona 5 true ending
  
• Persona 5 Royal bad ending 1
  
• Persona 5 Royal bad ending 2
  
• Persona 5 Royal true ending

Any of the endings except for the first three in this list will unlock the achievement. It is highly recommended that you attain Persona 5 Royal’s true ending as there are at least two other achievements tied to the new content added in Persona 5 Royal's third semester, and ending the game prematurely will require a second playthrough to get all achievements. The requirements for each ending are as follows:

During any Palace period:

• Fail to meet the requirements of a Palace before the deadline.
  
• You will be prompted to start again from one week prior, resetting any progress you made in those days.
