May 26th - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Golden Guide - IGN (2024)

May 26th, Thursday

Weather: Cloudy

Afternoon

Ms. Sofue asks Yosuke a question about laborers. He wasn't paying attention and needs your help. Give him the answer, Attendence logs (3rd Choice). He'll appreciate your help and your Understanding will increase.

Lunchtime

Sometimes, friends will come up to you during Lunchtime and suggest that you spend the rest of the day with them. Some of them will only suggest and walk away, while some of them will actually ask you if you want to hang out with them, and you are prompted with a decision.Always say that you will decide later.Because once you say yes to a person, the Social Link will automatically start, you won't be able to see any other friends, or do anything else.If you say yes to the person, then you never know who the next person could've been. It could've been someone you wanted to hang out with even more. Also, the people will still be available After School, waiting in their usual positions.

For example, Yosuke will come up to you first during Lunchtime today and actually ask you if you want to hang out.Say that you'll decide later.You'll find him again on Classroom 2F, with the exclamation point above his head, as if he never asked.

After School

Since you hopefully said no to everyone that came up to you during Lunch, you will have the Afternoon to yourself. Look at all the Social Links available! What to choose, what to choose... Let's go with... Chie! She should be Rank 2 right now. Let's go ahead and boost her up to Rank 3, so she can get her own follow-up attack!

social link: chariot, chie satonaka, rank 3

As before, Chie wants to train today. That's where you spend most of your time while developing this Social Link. She's hopping around enthusiastically, when Nanako suddenly appraoches from the side and talks to Chie.

Nanako asks her who she's fighting, and Chie responds awkwardly by saying, "Uh... myself?" It's best not to tell Nanako what she means by that.

And you don't have to worry about it, because Nanako gets easily distracted by a little grasshopper jumping around in the grass next to her. This makes Chie completely lose it and she jumps out of her skin, trying to defend herself.

That's when Nanako tells her that the grasshopper is now on Chie's back.

Chie runs around screaming and screaming, praying for someone to take the grasshopper off of her back. The game fades to black (a little weird) and it tells you that Nanako pulls the bug off of Chie.

Shy, Nanako asks if Chie doesn't like grasshoppers. Chie fires back that she doesn't do well with any type of bug at all!

Nanako protests that the little critters are cute, and Chie says that Nanako is just like Yukiko. She adds that Yukiko is completely fine with bugs, but her... She just totally loses it. Although it may seem weird/wrong, say,"It's very feminine."This gets you the maximum amount of points.

Nanako comforts Chie and says that she's not alone in the bug-hating group. It works, and things return to a happy vibe.

Chie offers that she train with Nanako, and she happily takes up on the offer. The game fades to black while they train, and when it comes back, Nanako has already been sent home. But Chie's training isn't done yet! She needs to get over her fear of bugs, so she doesn't look like a sissy in front on Nanako-chan.

You sense Chie's burning passion... The Social Link will now advance.

There is no story after the advancement, so you'll be sent home straight away.

Evening

Dojima's available tonight! He'll be available a lot more often since Kanji has been saved, so he doesn't have much "work" to do at the Police Station. Also, if you took one of the night jobs at the Bulletin Board (Dishwasher, or Janitor), you need to explain it to Dojima. If you tell him about your night jobs, you will be forever able to leave the house at night, whether Dojima is home or not! The Pub will be open every night, so there will always be something to do.

Plus, he's available for a Social Link tonight! Although, it's a very sad story. You probably already know what the story will be about when you approach him.

This Social Link advancement requires you to have a high enough level of Expression to talk to him in the first place. Again, this guide will assume that you have all of your stats maxed out because you're on New Game Plus, right? Right. So, your stats shouldn't be a problem. If they are, again, we recommend that you discontinue using this guide, and enjoy your stroll through the game. If/When you wish to achieve the Platinum trophy, here is the place to get it.

With that being said, let's continue to the Social Link.

social link: hierophant, ryotaro dojima, rank 5

You start the night watching Dojima flip through a bunch a pages in a binder looking for a picture. Apparently, it was something from the Police Station, because he complains about the interns not being able to file data properly anymore. He lloks up, and assures you that he wasn't talking about you. Ask,"Can I help?"Even though he denies your offer for help, he smiles on the inside.

He continues by saying that he was trying to find an old newspaper copy, but he can't seem to locate it. According to Dojima, there's a case at the Police Station where they don't even have a suspect yet... Sounds like the murder mystery going on. Also, it seems the trail that they were on is fading, and the case is about to be dismissed by the Police Department entirely. But Dojima says that he can't give up on this one. Ever.

Suddenly, Nanako comes lurching out of her room with a painful sigh. After asking what's wrong, Nanako complains about having an upset stomach. Dojima goes through reasons of why should could be sick, but he just rushes to call the doctor, when he remembers something in a flashback. Apparently, this has happened before. He frantically searches around the house for the medicine that he used to treat her last time, when he gets a call on his phone. Furiously, he answers the phone, and finds out that there has been a sealed letter delivered for him. It's from a name that is unfamiliar to us, but Dojima seems extremely interested.

Dojima hangs up the phone in a flash at the end of the conversation, and informs you that he must go. Nanako is now in your hands! However, you don't actually have to do anything. The game fades to black while you give Nanako the medicine, and put her back down to bed. A few hours later, Dojima comes ambling back into the house with a heavy sigh.

He sees you up, and barks at you to go to sleep. Response 1 or 3 will work the same way, so choose,"Are you okay?"Surprisingly, Dojima tells you to just shut up... He immediately apologizes.

He asks about Nanako, and you tell him that she's back to sleep. He's relieved. He tells you that you've been a great help in this situation... But Dojima still seems to feel heavy... What's he holding back...? The Social Link will now advance.

...Looks like we won't find out. Dojima sends you to bed before you have a chance to ask. However, if you've been paying attention, you probably know what it's about.

You're automatically sent on to May 27th.
