Void Quest Walkthrough
How To Navigate Chapter Three Of Void Quest
For the most part, the first half of the Void Quest dungeon is like the dungeons you’ve done so far, in that you’re fighting through enemies and looking for the stairs to continue onward.
However, when you reach the third floor, labeled asVoid Quest Chapter 3, that changes.
You’ll notice on your map that this floor is made up ofcross-shaped sections, each with three corridors that lead todead endsand one being the way you came.
In order to navigate the third floor of Void Quest in P4G, use theleft and right dead endsto teleport between sections of the floor.
By running into a dead end on theright side of the cross, you’ll jump to the crossto the right of the originalon the map overview. If you runto the leftdead end, the opposite is true, and you move to the crossto the left.
There are a number of crosses in the shape, typically withat least oneshadow in each. If you’d like to grind for EXP here, feel free to do so, but you’ll eventually want to make your way to theupper left cornerof the map overview.
There, you’ll find the door to carry on, with thestairs to the fourth floordirectly inside.
How To Navigate Chapter Seven Of Void Quest
After that, the map is back to normal until theseventh floor, which is where you encounter the Killing Hand and Almighty Hand mini-bosses in Persona 4 Golden.
However, gettingtothe boss fight isn’t as simple as just running there – once again,the dungeon is messing with you.
As you navigate the seventh floor of Void Quest, be aware thatthe camera changes angles. This will happen every time youstep into a hallway intersection.
Although the angle of the camera has changed,the direction in which you were going has not changed. Keep walking in whatever direction forward is to continue through the floor.
You can prevent the angle change from happening byhanging onto the wallas you navigate through an intersection.
It seems thatstepping in the middlemost part of the intersection changes the camera. If you’d rather not deal with the inconvenience, hug the wall as you go through floor seven.
We’vecircled the section of the intersectionthat will change the camera in the photo above.
Your overall goal is to make it to themini-boss fight, which can be triggered in thenorthwest cornerof the floor.
Heal before going through the doorto challenge it and make quick work of the Killing Hand and Almighty Hand mini-bosses in Void Quest.
Before leaving the area, be sure to grab theOrb of Darknessfrom the chest behind where you took on the mini-bosses.
You’ll need it toaccess the fight against Shadow Mitsuo, so grab it now to avoid backtracking.
How To Reach The Endgame In Void Quest
The eighth and ninth floors of Void Quest in Persona 4 Golden are much like the rest of the dungeon. Simply explore and find the stairs leading to the next “chapter.”
However, the final floor of the dungeon, the tenth, isn’t called “Chapter 10,” but rather,“Endgame.”This is where you’ll findShadow Mitsuo.
It’s also where you’ll find Escapist Soldier if you choose to challenge the Void Quest dungeon a second time after defeating Shadow Mitsuo.
Prepare the team and challenge the Shadow Mitsuo boss battle in Void Quest when you’re ready, and the dungeon will be finished after you defeat him.
