Quick Links
Usually, the dungeons in are 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, the𒆙 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 moth♏er again, and Namatame’s god-complex about “saving” people ꦯaround Inaba.
The dungeon becomes available on 11/6, and you have until 11/20 to complete it.
Heaven Limits Your Social Links' Availability
Beginning as soon as Nanako is put into the dungeon, you cannot hang out with your Investigation Team social links during your free time segments.
Your friends are concerned about the mission ahead, and therefore will be unavailable until you finish Heaven and save Nanako. Speaking to them if you see them around will only yield comments about the mission, even if this is during a tim♉e when this social link is regularly available to spend time with.
In addition to your teammates, both Dojima and Adachi are also unavailable fဣor free 𒀰time events during this section of the game.
Finally, it probably goes without saying, but Nanako is also unavailable to spend time with at night duri🍒ng this time.
Recommended Level
In order to save your precious little sister, you’ll be going up against shado♉ws that range from Lv. 55-65 as you climb through the dungeon. The boss﷽ shadow here will be Lv. 65.
We recommend that you enter Heaven around Lv. 55 and ensure you reach at least Lv. 60 or so before attempting the boss figh൩t. 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 of your difficulty choice more than before, but this can be adjusted in your𓆉 options if need be.
Shadows And Personas In Heaven
Though there are definitely bigger things on your mind as you go through Heaven looking for Nanako, you're still up against shadows along the way.
To help you get through Heaven in the most efficient way, we've compiled a full affinity chart for every shadow you'll fight in Heaven, as well as which Personas you're able to get from Shuffle Time while you're there.

Heaven Walkthrough
For as important as it is to the story, the Heaven dungeon in P4G is pretty straightforward to actually traverse.
There are ten floors total to the dungeon, and you'll notice the ambiance change every few floors.
Outside the final floor, the only one of true note is Floor Seven, as this is where you'll face the dungeon's mini-boss, World Balance.
After defeating it, simply continue through the dungeon as you had been until you reach the tenth and final floor, where you'll be taking on the boss fight against Kunin-Sagiri to finish the dungeon.
