This dungeon introduces more challenging enemies and environmental hazards. You'll encounter a mini-boss, the 'Shadow Rise' clone, which is a tough fight.

June 27th: If you've reached the top floor, you'll face the dungeon boss.
Boss: Shadow Rise & Teddie
- Weakness: None.
- Resistances: None.
- Strategy: This is a two-phase fight. In the first phase, you fight Shadow Rise. She will use various elemental attacks and can inflict status ailments. She will also use 'Analyze' to learn your party's weaknesses. After a certain amount of damage, she will become invulnerable and summon 'Teddie'. You must defeat Teddie to proceed. Teddie is weak to Electricity. Once Teddie is defeated, Shadow Rise will be vulnerable again. She will then use 'Supreme Insight' to predict your attacks, making it difficult to hit her. Use Guard to avoid her predicted attacks, then unleash your strongest skills when she's vulnerable. Keep your HP up and use items as needed.
After defeating Shadow Rise, she will awaken her Persona, Himiko, and join your party as a support character. Teddie will also awaken his Persona, Kintoki-Douji, and become a playable party member. You'll unlock the 'Lovers' Social Link (Rise) and the 'Star' Social Link (Teddie).
