Overview
I made this guide to put all these links in one place and easy to get to from the steam web browser, hopefully it helps you too. I regularly use these when I’m dungeon crawling, working on social links, doing fusions, etc and would honestly be totally lost without it.This guide is intended to be used by adding it as a favorite and accessing it in the steam web browser (shift+tab). It is a compendium of links that will help you get started on your journey in Inaba
Introduction
As a warning, the links in this guide will have heavy spoilers if you go in too far. I recommend only using the guide a week or month at a time and never going too far ahead of the day you are on. For a better experience, use multiple saves to allow for backtracking if you realize something in the guide makes something you did less effective.
Monster Weaknesses for each Dungeon
I’ve spoiler tagged these so reading them won’t give away the dungeon but be careful regardless if you’re clicking on them.
- I don’t recommend using this one early on because it includes bosses, two of which are shown on the first page (2 mid to late-game bosses)
- This will be the resource you find if you ever look up “[monster] weakeness p4g”, but it usually includes the weaknesses from previous games. Make sure you’re looking at the Persona 4 Golden tab. Some weaknesses were different even from P4 to P4 Golden.
These are the ones I recommend you use. Monsters will repeat so searching up weaknesses every time if you forget or constantly having to analyze can take a while. The only issue with these is you have to be careful not to scroll down too far or you’ll spoil the boss of the dungeon.
- First Dungeon Yukiko
- Second Dungeon Kanji
- Third Dungeon Rise/Risette
- Fourth Dungeon Mitsuo
- Fifth Dungeon Naoto
- Sixth Dungeon Nanako
- Seventh Dungeon Adachi
- Eighth Dungeon Marie
I’m not counting Yosuke’s Dungeon since it doesn’t have any other enemies and really is a standalone boss fight whose weakness is given to you (the tutorial tells you he’s weak to lightning, plus it’s your only elemental move at that point).
Social Links
This is the best site I’ve found. It’s specific, has all the information you’ll need, and it has a really nice dark UI
- Magician[www.rpgsite.net]
- Chariot[www.rpgsite.net]
- Priestess[www.rpgsite.net]
- Emperor[www.rpgsite.net]
- Lovers[www.rpgsite.net]
- Fortune[www.rpgsite.net]
- Moon[www.rpgsite.net]
- Sun[www.rpgsite.net]
- Aeon[www.rpgsite.net]
- Empress[www.rpgsite.net]
- Hermit[www.rpgsite.net]
- Strength[www.rpgsite.net]
- Hanged Man[www.rpgsite.net]
- Justice[www.rpgsite.net]
- Hierophant[www.rpgsite.net]
- Jester[www.rpgsite.net]
- Devil[www.rpgsite.net]
- Death[www.rpgsite.net]
- Temperance[www.rpgsite.net]
- Tower[www.rpgsite.net]
- Fool/Star/Judgement[www.rpgsite.net]
Empress, Star, Death, and Fool don’t give additional Social Link points for having a persona of the same Arcana. Have a matching persona equipped and picking the dialogue options specified in these guides will get you the most amount of points toward the social link during every major event in their link. You will also get points toward main character links when you do certain story events (the yellow musical notes above their head, the green one doesn’t do anything) and when you do the Aeon social link.
Fusion Calculator
- The best fusion calculator I’ve used. As of now it’s a little buggy with the steam web browser, sometimes it shows up with black text on a grey background making it hard to read if your monitor is on low brightness. This only an issue I’ve experienced in the web browser, it works fine in a regular browser
- To use this calculator, type the persona you want to fuse or the level of the persona (say if you need a stronger persona for a dungeon). This will bring up all the possible fusions. If you have none of the needed personas, pick the first recipe you see, that is the cheapest one. Before you do that however, look to see if you have any personas you’d like to fuse away and search for recipes using them first. Having one of the personas at later levels will make fusion much cheaper, even if you’re not using the cheapest formula. It also frees up space which is another plus.
- If you’re looking for a specific arcana (for a social link), look up “p4g [arcana] personas” and pick the one with the level closest to your character. You can also use the type the arcana into the calculator search bar like before. You could get a low level one from the compendium but it won’t be useful in fusing better personas when you have to enter a dungeon.
All Encompassing 100% Guide
Honestly this is more of a 50% walkthrough than a 100%, I’ll explain what I mean by that in a bit. This is a really good walkthrough that even includes dialogue options during story events outside social links. Unfortunately, the guide falls off in the middle (I think it’s unfinished). I think that’s for the best though because by that point, you’ll get the hang of starting social links and finishing them with efficiency. I recommend using this guide for that exact reason, as it functions as training wheels to make social links feel a lot less overwhelming as you get used to the system.
Don’t worry if you can’t do everything in the guide when it tells you to because you haven’t maxed your stats yet, try doing something else instead that will raise your stats or work on another social link if you can. Focus on the social links you like the best. You’ll also have some free time near the end to finish some of the last ones up.
Most guides linked here are also written such that you end the game early by picking the bad ending. As long as you don’t do that, you’ll have a bit of extra time, but make sure you’re using your time wisely!
In Class Question Answers
This has all the answers you need and organizes them so you don’t go too far ahead. That way you can attempt the questions by yourself before selecting the correct answer for the stat boost.
If you’re following the IGN guide you won’t need this for a while since it includes answers (but is also unfinished).
Credits
I’ve linked the sites in each section, but once again huge thanks to RPGsite, IGN, and arantius for making these resources. IGN and RPGsite have ads, so if you appreciate their work turn off your adblocker on their pages (steam web browser doesn’t have extensions so you’re probably already doing this). The github site I believe is completely open source and makes no money, so I really can’t thank arantius enough for making such a useful resource free (and adfree) to everyone.
If you have any comments, questions, or additional links that you think would help other users of this guide, please leave them in the comments below and I’ll add them in and credit you.
