In Persona 4 Golden, Fox is a Hermit Arcana social link you need to rank up for fusing powerful Personas in the game. Not just Personas Fusion, Fox will also help you in Dungeons Crawl in Persona 4 Golden. This social link with the fox, an animal and not some pretty young high school girl, is way different from others as you won’t get to interact with the Fox much to increase the bond level.
This social link requires you to complete different quests. As you do these quests, your social link ranks up.
Who is Fox
The Fox in Persona 4 Golden aims to help you and your teammates go through challenging circumstances in the Dungeon. However, things here are not as simple as they appear. Though Fox is a friendly animal and will be helping you soon, it will do all this only if you rank up the social rank Hermit.
Unlike all other social links, you first need to see the fox in the shrine. After it, you need to complete different quests. Fox has a soft heart and wants the people of Inaba to come out of poverty; therefore, the tasks she will assign you will be mainly to help Inaba’s people. These tasks help fulfill people’s wishes left on Ema tags in the Shrine.
As you complete the quests, your social link rank will increase, and eventually, she will reward you for all your hard work by appearing in dungeons wherever you need it. Trust me; it’s going to be a great help.
How to unlock Fox social link
Fox social link in P4G doesn’t require you to do any specific chore. It will start automatically on 5/5 as you see Fox in the North Shopping district at Shrine. From here onwards, you are required to complete different tasks in Inaba that are on the Ema tags.
Persona 4 Golden Fox social link choices
As you unlock the social rank and rank it up by doing different quests, it will cost you less to call Fox for your help in the Dungeon. Initially, at the beginning of the social link, you have to spend ¥60 per SP, but as you rank up the Hermit social link, this price will decrease and reach ¥15 per SP.
