Quick Links
Sayoko Uehara serves as the Death Social Link inPersona 4 Golden. She can be a bit tricky, and saying/doing the wrong thing can delay the Social Link. However, it’s required to at least get the Devil Social Link to Rank 4 if they want the Death Social Link.
The Devil Social Link is an evening-only Social Link that can be unlocked via the part-time hospital janitor job.Persona 4 Goldenplayers will want to make sure they’re being consistent with their Social Stats. If their Diligence is too low, they won’t be able to start the Social Link.

Where to Find Sayoko
Players can get the part-time hospital job as early asMay 25th, and only if they haveLevel 3 Diligence. The job can be picked up from the bulletin board by Aiya’s inNorthShopping District.Like the part-time tutoring job, the Devil Social Link is only available during the evening. Players will need to leave from the bus stop in theSouth Shopping DistrictonWednesday, Thursday, orFriday nights.
Sayoko’s Social Link can’t be Reversed, but players should draw fortunes at Tatsuhime Shrine to get more points since even thebetterreplies to Sayoko mostly give two points instead of three. Since she’s an Evening Social Link, the protagonist can’t spend free time with her during the afternoons.Unlike his classmates, Sayoko will not contact the protagonist to hang out, meaning the only way to get more points towards her Social Link is to read fortunes, or work at the hospital in-between Ranks.
The protagonist will receive a minimum of 5000 yen as payment for working at the hospital. In addition to this, he will get one point towards hisCourage. If players read the100 Ghost Storiesbook (available at the Book Store in South Shopping District on June 11th), then the Courage points aredoubled.
Sayoko Uehara Social Link Guide
Rank 1
Players will need to work the hospital jobtwicebefore they can meet Sayoko Uehara. So, work two evenings in a row (Wednesday and Thursday) to speed up the process.
“Don’t worry, no one’ll see…”

Points (withmatching Persona)
Misc.
“Would you like to study with me? Perhaps a subject that they don’t teach in school, if you catch my drift…?”
2
“…So why are you working at a job like this?”
3
“Speaking of which… Say,do you have a girlfriend?”
“…Do you see what I’m getting at?”
N/A
Rank 4
Players will unlock theDeath Social Linkduring the Devil Social Link’s Rank 3 to Rank 4. Hisano Kuroda (Death) can be found at the Samegawa Flood Plain (by the fishing spot) on Sundays and holidays. Seeing Hisano at the hospital willnotunlock the Social Link itself, so the protagonist will need to visit her during Free Time.When speaking to Hisano, choose whichever answer. There aren’t any points to be gained towards the Death Social Link just yet.
With that taken care of, here are the best responses for Rank 4:
“…Don’t ask what happened here.”
“They only need me when they’re my patients… In the end, they all leave me.”
“Did you hear the commotion?”
“sigh The other nurses were just watching, with these stupid smirks on their faces…”
“What am I living for…?”
“> Sayoko isn’t saying anything…”
“What am I doing…?”
“> Sayoko seems to be tormenting herself.”
“> Sayoko looks a bit pale. She also seems to be very tired.”
Rank 8
There aren’t any dialogue options for this Rank. Thus, it will Rank up automatically when the protagonist works the hospital job. Since there are no points to be gained from Rank 8, players will have to work more shifts at the hospital until Rank 9 is ready to unlock.
Rank 9
The responses in Rank 9 will not give any Social Link points. To get enough points for Rank 10, players can work at the hospital, or they can draw fortunes at Tatsuhime Shrine:
“We’re going to be needing this room, so can you get all your cleaning supplies out of here?”
“I was just a little wobbly…”
“> What should you do…?”
“Otherwise… I’d never be able to face him again…”
Rank 10
Since this is the final rank in the Devil Social Link, responses here won’t matter and won’t add any points. During Rank 10, Sayoko states she’s leaving the hospital. However, the protagonist can still work the hospital job if players need some more pocket change.

Social Link Completion Reward
Upon completing Rank 10, Sayoko will give the protagonist theHospital IDKey Item, which allows players to fuse the ultimate Persona of the Devil Arcana,Beelzebub.

However, a Fused Persona will gain an experience boost depending on the rank of its respective Social Link. A Beelzebub createdbeforereaching Rank 10 of Sayoko’s Social Link will getless of an exp boostthan a Beelzebub fusedafter.
