Steamy Bathhouse Walkthrough
Since most of the dungeons in Persona 4 Golden arerandomizedin their floor plan, we can’t give you a step-by-step guide to each floor. While certain floors in each dungeon are pre-scripted with story events, the majority of your exploration will be random.
The ultimate goal of each bathhouse floor isfinding the stairsso you can head up to the next, repeating the process over until you reach floors with plot points or boss fights.
We’ve got entire guides for each boss that go more into detail on their fight, so check those out for more specific info on each!
Steamy Bathhouse, Bath #7 – Daring Gigas
As soon as you arrive at the seventh floor, Teddie warns you it’s“really steamy.”This is your cue toheal upbefore heading into the door ahead.
There are a few shadows as you make your way through the area, but unless you need to grind, it may be best toavoid themto save your HP and SP for the bigger fight.
We almost always recommend grinding in Persona games whenever possible, but with a mini-boss fight dead ahead, there are better times!
Head to thedoor marked on your mini-map, and the fight with Daring Gigas will begin after a cutscene.
The fight rewards you withBathhouse Key. It gives you a shortcut before you’re able to regain control of the party again, so finish up on this floor and head out when you’re ready.
Steamy Bathhouse, Bath #11
This is the final floor of the Steamy Bathhouse dungeon. Heal up outside the main door and enter when you’re ready to begin the fight againstShadow Kanji.
Should you choose toreturn to the dungeon after defeating it, it’s also where you faceIntolerant Officer.
Just as before, Teddie will warn you that he can sense Kanji just past the door. This is your cue that the boss fight against Shadow Kanji is about to begin.
Be sure you’ve healed the party before going inside - Shadow Kanji and his two goons are renowned for beingone of the harder boss fightsin Persona 4 Golden!
