Magatsu Inaba And Magatsu Mandala Walkthrough
While plenty of the dungeons you’ve finished so far in Persona 4 Golden have been randomized, Magatsu Inaba and Magatsu Mandala are a little different.
The floors here can be a bit tricky to navigate.The first floor is straightforward, though, to ease you in.
Thesecond flooris where things begin to get strange. There aredoors in the northwest cornerof the map, but trying to open them reveals them to belocked.
To continue, you’ll need togo back to the middleof this floor and check outthe pit. Interact with it tojump into the pit, which brings you to Magatsu Mandala.
Though it seems counterintuitive to what you’ve known so far about fighting your way through dungeons, when you get down into Magatsu Mandala,don’t let the shadows touch you.
Being touched by a shadow willsend you back to the beginning of the first level of Magatsu Mandalano matter how far you’ve gotten. This includes attacking shadows yourself or being attacked in a way that gives the enemy the advantage – you need toavoid shadows touching you at all costs.
Outside of that, the first three floors of Magatsu Mandala are straightforward enough – get through them without touching the enemies, andat the end of World Three of Magatsu Mandala, you’ll come face to face with theChaos Fuzz mini-boss.
After this, Magatsu Mandala remains largely the same. There’s anothermini-boss battle against Envious Gianton the sixth floor of Magatsu Mandala, but after finishing it, you’re ready togo back to Magatsu Inaba.
The easiest way to do this will be by using aGoho-M.
When youreenter Magatsu Inaba, you’ll now find that thedoors in the northwest corners are now unlocked.
Head inside to begin the boss battle against the mastermind of P4G when you’re ready!
