Update: Please note that with the release on P4G on modern platforms the timing seems to have changed. While it is still possible to manipulate Golden Hand spawnings on every platform and such the timing seems to have gotten a lot stricter and there seems to be way less leeway than before so the results may vary quite a bit!

Let me recap for Golden Hands: - Yukiko's Castle = Floor 5 = Right Side - Steamy Bathhouse = Floor 7 = Right Side - Void Quest = Floor 7 = Left Side - Secret Lab = Floor 6 = Right Side

Also forgot to mention: Don't forget to stack up on Goho-M's if you want to farm using this method :)

For the secret lab, you can go to the end of floor six, load into floor seven, and then go back to floor six and there will almost always be a golden hand so you can do it over and over again without the finicky timing. You can also use this method to abuse the chest at the end of the floor for an infinite amount of random items (done on the Nintendo switch version)

I'm very late in the game, almost Feb, and this still works during that time. At least, in the Lab 6F. I'm not checking the other dungeons. FPS is 60, vsync is on. He says "restart the game" (1:44), but it isn't clear - you have to quit ALL the way out of the game, and relaunch it. Just going to "System > Return To Title" means the game is still running, so the star pattern rng is still running - meaning the pattern will be different every time. I can't tell if it still works from there, even if you try to time it by counting or using the music. I didn't know why it wasn't working for a while, until I tried doing it after closing the game and then relaunching it. Bit of a pain, but it works. Just don't forget to save every time.

This will actually be very useful! Thanks for the video!

this was super helpful once i got the hang of the menu timing!

I had a better time farming in Secret Lab and going down then back up into floor 6 to respawn the mobs. It's better than completely closing your game and reloading using this star tech. I always managed to find a golden hand w/ in 3-5 resets so do whatever works for you. (Steam version)

If P4G is ever remade like P3 Reload, the #1 thing that needs to be fixed are the Golden Hands! Like maybe they should wait at least 3 turns before escaping, and also if they're down and you're nearby, there should be a command (like triangle on PS4) to home in on them and start the fight

The pattern of the Stars I completely different for me so it doesn't work.. Edit: it works, you have to Completely restart the game, not just go in the menu.

It's a shame there's not more info on this. Like do you need to return back to the same floor or can you do it from the start and it'll be there when you climb up?

guys, I am trying to replecate rng manip in P4G. But my stars pattern is not the same as on video 😭 VSYNC ON 60 FPS lock

Weird. I guess when the game initializes the random number generator it always uses the same seed? That's the only way I can see this working.

Does this works on switch version?

Also for added cheese make sure you have a persona with apt pupil and equip the spiked bat. Do not use the metal bat!!! The accuracy is too low against the hands and just about any shadow.

Still on bath house but I can lvl up really fast. Thank You for the method! (43 rn lol)

Great video! Does it work if you have already completed all the levels? You can only continue to the final boss level once completed

Hello How do you manipulate the Gold Hands on the PS vita? I tried looking other youtube videos but couldn't find any

Honestly hate these ass holes but I can't deny how op the rewards are lol. At least they actually reward you in p4g fighting golden shadows. P3p on the other hand not only do they suck ass to fight with or without item cheesing they are also a complete waste of time if you aren't doing all the quests.

is there a way to change what floor you fast travel to when entering dungeons? im trying to get it to continue to floor 6 after I save for secret laboratory but it continues to floor 7 instead

Do the stars change? Im on heaven doing this on the secret laboratory. My stars dont match yours

Does this work on the Xbox gamepass version?

I can’t this method is too difficult and inconsistent I’m gonna have to find something else to help me.

great video bro

Does this work on switch ??

im in void quest right now on p4g steam version, and i never get the pattern you have in the video for some reason.

im trying to use this on the steamy bathhouse but it doesnt work, im on steam playing p4g

Can u repeat this method any number of times in the same castle ?

If you could link me to the ps vita method i would really appreciate it

Hey! I've been grinding to level 99 in Yukiko's Castle for the past few months, and have just discovered this video. (oops) For the Yukiko's Castle manip, I can only seem to get a single gold hand instead of the set of three gold hands. Do you know if there's anything I may be doing wrong? Also does difficulty affect this? (I'm playing on Very Hard.) Thanks in advance, and thank you for making this video!

Hey guys guess that’s it

Does this work on the console ports?

do you have a tutorial for ps vita?

2:01 you mean 3 Golden Hands in the overworld or 3 Golden Hands in battle?

this ghuide is bs not working

How can I get items like firecrackers?

yeah sometimes even with a full reset the menu is random with the stars i managed to only do it once but could not replicate it again

I hate and love you for showing this + you spoiled the game

does this work for the original ps2 version?
