Persona 3 Reload

The first encounter with the Spurious Book in Reload occurs as a series of preset encounters during the May 9 Full Moon Operation after entering the monorail. The regular version of the enemy later appears in Tartarus's Arqa block with modified stats.

A version of the Spurious Book called the Tome of Atrophy (Japanese: 衰退の禁書, Hepburn Suitai no kinsho) appears alongside a Deviant Convict on Yabbashah 90F, acting as the floor's mini-boss.
