Heaven

Heaven is the sixth dungeon of Persona 4 Golden, open from Nov 6 with a Nov 20 deadline: 10 floors, the World Balance midboss on floor 7 and Kunino-sagiri on floor 10, at level 60 or more. Persona 4 Revival's director named it one of the two dungeons that gain most from modern hardware.

Spoiler warning: this page names who is taken into Heaven and describes the story choice that follows it.

Heaven is the sixth dungeon of Persona 4 Golden, the world of the man who took Nanako Dojima into the TV: it opens on Nov 6, must be cleared by Nov 20, and has 10 floors, with the World Balance midboss on floor 7 and Kunino-sagiri, the Shadow born of Taro Namatame, on floor 10, per TheGamer. TheGamer suggests entering around level 55 and reaching at least 60 before the boss, and its boss guide puts the protagonist around 70. In Persona 4 Revival, director Kazuhisa Wada named Heaven, with Yukiko's Castle, as one of the two dungeons that benefit most from modern hardware (Anime Corner, Jul 8, 2026); Atlus has not shown it or said what else changes as of Nov 3, 2026.

What changes while Heaven is open

While Nanako is inside, the Investigation Team's Social Links are closed to free time, and Dojima, Adachi and Nanako cannot be seen (TheGamer). Plan the other links on Persona 4 Social Links for those two weeks, and finish Nanako Social Link before the end of October.

Walkthrough

Floors 1 to 6. Randomized floors with Shadows from level 55 to 65. TheGamer's party guide brings Kanji, Yukiko and Naoto through the dungeon.
Floor 7: World Balance. No editorial guide read for this page gives its level or affinities.
Floors 8 and 9. Swap Naoto for Yosuke before the boss: Naoto's instant-kill spells are light and dark, which Kunino-sagiri nulls, and Yosuke's heavy wind magic does more.
Floor 10: Kunino-sagiri.

Shadow	Level	Affinities
Curse Dice	60	Nulls the four elements; weak to light and dark
Intrepid Knight	65	Strong against physical

How do you beat Kunino-sagiri?

Kunino-sagiri is level 65 and nulls light and dark; everything else, almighty included, does normal damage. Its skills are the single and party-wide -dyne spells of all four elements, God's Judgment, Unerring Justice, the four Break skills, Makara Break, Tetra Break, Dekaja, Dekunda, Life Leech, Spirit Drain, Quad Convergence and Control. TheGamer splits it into four stretches:

To about a third of its HP gone: heavy elemental attacks.
Quad Convergence: it boosts one element. Find which and reflect it with Makarakarn or a Magic Mirror.
Control, after about two thirds is gone: party members are turned against the protagonist.
From about 1,000 HP left: Unerring Justice again and again.

Turn Direct Command on, and bring the protagonist to around level 70. The party is Kanji, Yukiko, and Yosuke or Naoto, whose Makarakarn comes at level 64 or later. TheGamer uses Trumpeter before Control and Tam Lin (High Counter, Enduring Soul) after it (TheGamer).

After Heaven: the hospital on Dec 3

3:54 The fight decides nothing by itself; the choice comes later, on Dec 3 at the hospital. Choosing to push Namatame into the TV leads to a bad ending, and so does simply leaving him for the police, which leaves the earlier murders unsolved (TheGamer). The route that continues is on Persona 4 Endings, and the story on Persona 4 Story. The clip is AMHarbinger's Persona 4 Golden playthrough of the Dec 3 hospital scene.

Heaven in Persona 4 Revival

Wada told Anime Corner that Heaven and Yukiko's Castle are the dungeons that gain most from modern hardware (Anime Corner, Jul 8, 2026). Beyond that, Atlus has shown nothing of Heaven as of Nov 3, 2026. Atlus says Revival keeps the original storyline, so the dungeon and its place in November are expected to stay; its dates are not published.
