How To Rank Up Your Devil Social Link In Persona 4 Golden

This guide contains slight spoilers for Persona 4 Golden.

How To Unlock Sayoko's Social Link

As with the other social links that begin as a result of Yu’s part-time work, Sayoko becomes available as early as 5/25 when you unlock the Bulletin Board. After this, you’re able to accept jobs around Inaba that reward you with pay and, occasionally, social opportunities.

And since she’s a nurse, you’ll find Sayoko at the hospital. Accept the posting for a Hospital Janitor anytime you’d like to go see Sayoko, then board the bus in the Central Shopping District.

However, in order to accept the job as a Hospital Janitor, you’ll need to have at least Rank 3 Diligence. It’s not the highest barrier to entry, but it is something to keep in mind as you’re building skills and spending your free time.
