How To Get A Second Will Seed Accessory in Persona 5 Royal
To get a second Will Seed Accessory, the player will need to have already beaten the game. This means reaching any of the games multiple endings. Beating the game unlocking New Game+, a game mode that allows the player to replay the game but pull items and abilities from a previous save. By doing this, the player will be able to carry over previous Will Seed accessories. Considering a Palace can only be fully explored once per playthrough, it's important to collect the Will Seeds on the first playthrough. When bringing over the items to the next save with New Game +, the Palace will have its own Will Seeds to collect. The method is the same for turning the seeds into accessories. Head over to Mementos and speak with Jose and he will turn these new seeds into Will Seed accessories. Now they can be equipped to another party member. Theoretically, the player can keep collecting Will Seeds and carrying them over into New Game + until the player has a full party of Will Seed accessory-holding Phantom Thieves. Although, this process will most likely take the player hundreds of hours to complete.
