Yukiko Amagi is the fourth teammate to join in Persona 4 Golden. Just like every other teammate, she serves as one of the protagonist's many Social Links. Yukiko's Arcana is the Priestess. The higher the Rank, the more experience players can get from a Priestess-aligned Persona through Fusion.

Yukiko's Social Link (Rank 1) unlocks on May 17th. From that point onward, Persona 4 Golden players can hang out with her during their Free Time. Fortunately, she's one of the earlier Social Links, so P4G players can get her Social Link to Rank 4-7 before the last party member joins. Knowing how to respond to her will make ranking up much easier.

Where to Find Yukiko

persona 4 golden yukiko

The protagonist can hang out with Yukiko on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Like the other IT members, she's unavailable on rainy days or during midterms/finals week. On school days, she can be found on the 1st floor of Yasogami High School. During holidays, she'll appear in the Shopping District (South).

Before spending the day with Yukiko, players will want to make sure they have a Persona with the Priestess Arcana. This will increase the Social Link points. The following Personas are part of the Priestess Arcana:

  • Ganga
  • Hariti
  • High Pixie
  • Kikuri-Hime
  • Parvati
  • Saki Mitama
  • Sarasvati
  • Scathach
  • Tzitzimitl

Rank 1

Yukiko's Rank 1 is automatic on May 17th. If players have enough Courage, they can outright ask for her number and earn Social Link points. However, this may not be possible on a first playthrough, since asking for a girl's number requires level 3 Courage.

Rank 9

For most female Social Links, rank 9 is where the protagonist can potentially start dating them. If the protagonist is already in a romantic relationship with someone else, P4G will warn the player. It's possible to date everyone available at once. Doing so will alter certain scenes and dialogue, but will have no gameplay effect on the main character or his partners.

persona 4 golden yukiko ultimate persona

Upon completing Yukiko's Social Link, the protagonist will receive a Shrine Charm key item. This allows players to fuse the Ultimate Persona of the Priestess Arcana: Scathach. The Shrine Charm will carry over into NG+, meaning that players can Fuse Scathach as soon as they unlock the Fusion feature.

In addition to this, Yukiko will awaken to her second-tier Persona: Amaterasu. She'll also get the Social Link Skill: Evade Ice. This triples the evasion against Ice attacks, so it's important to replace one of her current Skills in favor of this one. If players are on the path to the True Ending, then maxing out Yukiko's Social Link is required for getting her third-tier Persona, Sumeo-Okami, in January.

Persona 4 Golden is available on PC, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
