How to get the best ending in Persona 4 Golden

To achieve a normal ending in Persona 4 Golden, control your temperament. Your ending depends on your answer choices. Each answer matters, and your answer determines whether the game will continue or end.

As the story progresses in Persona 4 Golden, you will end up with an important choice on December 3rd (12/3). This choice affects the game's ending.

To avoid a bad ending, answer like this:

1. Any Choice
2. Wait a second here…
3. We're missing something.
4. Their true feelings.
5. Something's been bothering me.
6. We're missing something...
7. Calm the hell down!

If even one answer is wrong, the game will take you to March 20th and you will get the bad ending of Persona 4 Golden. If you answer correctly, the game will take you to December 5th. You will have a new goal - this will put you on the path to getting a good ending.

Later, you need to determine who is the real killer - this will lead to a complete conclusion ( Killer - Toru Adachi ). A wrong answer can also lead to a bad ending. Based on the research you've done in the game. You will have the opportunity to share with your friends about your suspicions. If this is not done, then the bad ending is again provided to you.

When the game takes you to the events of March, instead of returning home, you need to find all the people with whom you have social connections. Their location:

• Chariot / Chie, Lovers / Rise, Tower / Shu, Aeon / Marie: Shopping District South
• Priestess / Yukiko: The Amagi Inn, get to the bus stop.
• Devil / Sayoko: The Hospital, get to the bus stop.
• Temperance / Eri: The Day Care, get to the bus stop.
• Hermit/Fox: The Shrine, Shopping District North
• Emperor / Kanji, Strength / Atheletes, Hanged Man / Naoki: Shopping District North
• Justice / Nanako, Heirophant / Dojima: Outside Dojima's house; talk to papa Dojima and choose the second option.
• Magician / Yosuke, Star / Teddie: Junes Food Court
• Death/Hisano: Riverbank
• Moon/Ai: School 1F
• Fortune/Naoto: School Learning Building 1F
• Sun / Music or Drama: The Club Venue, School

Once you've had a conversation with all the right characters, the game will give you a hint to get home and prepare for tomorrow - DON'T DO THIS !

Choose "No" instead, then return to Junes Food Court. Examine the elevator. Refuse to go home again by selecting 'No' and then 'I'm not finished yet' and 'Yes'. At the end you need to select 'There's something missing'.

Then head to the riverbank to talk to Dojima and Nanako. Then go to the Velvet Room to get the Orb of Clarity from Igor. During the second playthrough of New Game+, this scene also unlocks a secret boss .

Head to Shopping District South and to the gas station. Talk to the attendant. Keep talking until you make the right choice to learn something about the employee; you can now access the unique Yomotsu Hirasaka dungeon .

Go to the Midnight Channel and clear the Yomotsu Hirasaka dungeon. Once you enter there, there is no going back. Provide yourself in advance with all the necessary weapons.

Defeat the final boss and you'll get the true endingin Persona 4 Golden.

How to unlock Hollow Forest Dungeon secret location and Secret Boss Margaret

This does not affect the ending you receive:

• Hollow Forest Secret Location - A unique secret dungeon associated with Marie. This location was added in Persona 4 Golden. To unlock this location, you need to have social connections with Mari. This is one of the difficult locations in the game with an additional story....
• The battle with Margaret's Super Boss is only available in New Game Plus. You need to get the good ending in the second game in exactly the same way, but then (Orb of Clarity) from Igor, and again to visit Margaret. She will give you an item that will explain how to challenge the boss.
