Persona 4 Golden guide · Dungeon details for Hollow Forest
← All areas in this guide

The Hollow Forest is an exclusive bonus dungeon unlocked in February focused on rescuing Marie. It uniquely strips the party of all regular inventory items and halves their SP after every single battle. You must rely on special dungeon-specific restorative items and gear found in chests or dropped by enemies to clear it.

Deadlines

  • February 13 | Complete the dungeon and defeat the boss within this single day, as it must be finished on the day you enter.

Enemies

Heaven's Giant

Mid-boss encountered on the Memories of Separation floor that relies on powerful physical and Almighty attacks.

Marie

Boss fight encountered on the Memories of Meeting floor; periodically reflects physical and elemental attacks with special shields.

Kusumi-no-Okami

The true form of the boss that frequently nullifies all incoming affinities and requires Guard Break items or Almighty damage.

Tips

  • Bring Rise's Social Link to higher ranks beforehand, as her recovery skills trigger after battles and can offset the dungeon's harsh SP-drain mechanics.
  • Prioritize opening chests on every floor to obtain dungeon-exclusive recovery items and accessories, as your normal inventory is unusable.
  • Equip accessories that grant the Invigorate skill or passive SP regeneration to manage the severe post-battle SP reduction.
  • Use physical skills or Almighty attacks frequently to conserve your party's depleted SP pool for essential healing.
