Quick Links
Usually, the dungeons inPersona 4 Goldenare created by the feelings of only one person, but when it comes to Heaven, the dungeon is a collaborative effort between Nanako Dojioma and Taro Namatame. Nanako believes it’s where her mother went when she passed away, while Namatame believes it’s where he’s keeping people safe inside the Midnight Channel.

But for as colorful and bright as Heaven appears, the sentiment behind the dungeon and the stakes for completing it are some of the saddest in all of P4G. For help finishing Heaven and rescuing Nanako, read on ahead with our guide.
We’re focused on the combat in our dungeon guides, and we avoid them where we can, but this guide still contains spoilers for the central story of Persona 4 Golden.
Things To Know Before Going To Heaven
The Heaven dungeon in P4G is a beautifully horrifying combination of Nanako’s desire to be with her deceased mother again, and Namatame’s god-complex about “saving” people around Inaba.
The dungeon becomes available on11/6, and you haveuntil 11/20to complete it.
Heaven Limits Your Social Links' Availability
Beginningas soon as Nanako is put into the dungeon, youcannot hang out with your Investigation Team social linksduring your free time segments.
Your friends are concerned about the mission ahead, and therefore will beunavailable until you finish Heavenand save Nanako. Speaking to them if you see them around will only yield comments about the mission, even if this is during a time when this social link is regularly available to spend time with.
In addition to your teammates, bothDojima and Adachi are also unavailablefor free time events during this section of the game.
Finally, it probably goes without saying, butNanakois also unavailable to spend time with at night during this time.
Recommended Level
In order to save your precious little sister, you’ll be going up against shadows that range from Lv. 55-65 as you climb through the dungeon. The boss shadow here will be Lv. 65.
We recommend that youenter HeavenaroundLv. 55and ensure you reach at leastLv. 60or so before attempting the boss fight. Shadow Namatame is fast and knows several punishing attacks, so you’ll want every advantage you can have before you fight.
This is where you may begin to feel the effects ofyour difficulty choicemore than before, but this can be adjusted in your options if need be.
