Persona 4 Golden Hierophant Social Link Guide

The Hierophant Social Link in Persona 4: Golden stars the main character’s uncle and police detective Ryoutaro Doujima. The Hierophant Social Link is one of the Social Links only available at night and in this regard it may be easier to master, having more time available. However that doesn’t mean you can ignore the link for long: the number of night time activities has been increased in Persona 4: Golden so you may want to complete this as soon as you can. I suggest you do the Social Link whenever Dojima is available since he’ll be unavailable every time someone will be reported missing. Also note that you’ll have to improve your stats to be able to access higher ranks events. You can initiate the Social Link by talking to Dojima at the Dojima Residence after 5/6: once mastered, you’ll be able to fuse the strongest Persona of the Hierophant Arcana, Kohryu.
