One of the main features of the new Persona series titles are the so-called Social Link, i.e. relationships with various characters within the game to which different tarot cards are associated.
Spending time with them will rank the associated Social Link, allowing us to obtain various bonuses useful for gameplay
In this guide we will explain how to easily advance the Social Link of the arcane Hanged Man, associated with Naoki Konishi.
Personal profile
Naoki Konishi he is the brother of Saki Konishi, a part-time worker from Junes and one of the first victims of the Inaba Serial Killer. Both boys are the children of the managers of an Inaba liquor store, which is falling apart during the game.
The figure of Naoki, as well as his Arcane, Hanged Man, recall the very death of her sister, which in the course of the game, like a sort of story within the story, has a great impact on the life of the boy, to whom special attention is often paid, but who in truth no one wants to approach for fear of not knowing how to behave.
You can easily recognize him by his white hair, which recalls the colors of his sister, and by a clothing similar to that of any other student, but with much colder and different behaviors as much less energetic than the rest of the cast.
His figure, as well as many others within Persona 4 Golden, recalls the concept behind the entire game, namely the way people perceive others.
Although initially he has a cold attitude towards the protagonist, he will gradually begin to appreciate him, and within his Social Link you will help him to overcome his loneliness and the difficult situation that was created by the death of his sister.
Availability and location on the game map
You will find Naoki in one first floor class during the days of the week ea north of the Shopping District during holidays and Sundays.
Starting from June 8, the boy will appear for the first time in a cutscene, and then position himself ingame on the first floor of the Learning Building.
To start his Social Link, go talk to him and then interact with him the next two days.
Answers to questions
Remember to always equip one Person of the Arcanum Hanged Man to earn more points during interactions with Naoki (the table below will take this into account when specifying the points obtained).
Also being necessary at times the Social Skill Courage and Expression, we recommend bringing them to level 4 before the fourth rank.
Maximizing his Social Link will allow you to obtain the Junes Receipt item, allowing you to unlock the fusion of the Most Powerful Person of the arcane Hanged Man, Attis.
