by

In the game “Persona 4 Golden”, the enigmatic entities known as Golden Hands could potentially materialize in any given dungeon, whether it’s out in the open world or sprung from treasure chests. It’s worth noting that these Golden Hands in each dungeon are progressively more formidable than their predecessors, making them among the toughest adversaries to vanquish.

Even though Happiness Hands can be challenging to conquer, they offer an abundance of XP when defeated, making it consistently beneficial to attempt taking them down. Here’s a guide on how to defeat the Happiness Hands early in the game.

Or in a more casual way:

Happiness Hands are tough cookies in Yukiko’s Castle, but they pay off big time with XP when defeated! Let me show you how to take them down even at the start of the game.

Happiness Hand Affinities In Persona 4 Golden

Happiness Hands have a strong resistance to all elemental damage.

The key strategy for defeating Happiness Hands lies in understanding that they can only sustain substantial harm through Physical attacks, as Almighty damage isn’t feasible so early on in the game. Unlike Golden Hands who are typically defeated with Almighty damage, Happiness Hands pose a unique challenge due to their limited offensive capabilities. They deal minimal damage and may waste their turn idling, but they will flee if an opportunity presents itself.

If they exploit a fellow party member’s vulnerability or score a critical hit, they will flee, making it crucial for you to select one and focus on defeating it quickly if you encounter a group, since you may barely manage to defeat just one before they escape.

How To Beat Happiness Hands In Persona 4 Golden

The key to defeating Happiness Hands lies in initially merging an Orobas, as it possesses the skill Hysterical Slap. This ability not only strikes twice but has a low probability of causing Rage in the opponent. If Happiness Hands becomes enraged, it will persistently use its standard attack and won’t retreat. You can merge an Orobas using these specific Personas:

  • Apsaras + Forneus
  • Apsaras + Slime

Before engaging in combat with a Happiness Hand, ensure your team is fully restored to avoid spending HP on non-attack actions during the fight. Go ahead and have Yosuke perform Sonic Punch, Chie use Skull Cracker, and the Protagonist execute Hysterical Slap. Continue using these attacks as frequently as necessary. The success of this battle largely depends on luck due to your early-game limitations, but landing a fatal blow against the Happiness Hand will undoubtedly boost your party’s levels at such low experience points.

If you knock over the Happiness Statue, avoid using excessive force unless you’re certain it won’t survive, as it might just get back up and flee instead.
