===Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth===
Soul Seeker appears in the Last Story of the Evil Spirit Club, replacing Kind Doctor. It is the subject of the request "Investigate the Evil Spirit Club," which becomes available once the party ventures into Night 3 of the Inaba Pride Exhibit. The reward for completing the request is the All-Around Badge, which grants its wearer +50 to HP and SP and +5 to all stats. The Black Orb, which Elizabeth dubs the Sphere of the Underworld, is found behind it. When defeated, it may drop Monitor Gold. Monitor Gold is used to create the Paralysis Knife for Koromaru and Yosuke, the Paralysis Buster for Aigis, the Poison Bullet for Zen and Rei, and the Eternal Blade for Mitsuru.

Soul Seeker is a rare Shadow that appears on the lower floors of the fourth theater, Hikari. It is protected by an Affinity Barrier until it is at low health and the last enemy standing. Attacking it while it has the Barrier up will cause it to drop money. When defeated, it may drop Seeker Gem, Fiery Eye, and Seeker Eye. Seeker Gem is used to create for Morgana, the for the P3 hero, and the unisex armor. Fiery Eye is used to create the accessory. Seeker Eye is used to create the for Yusuke, and the armor for Aigis.
==Strategy==
===Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth===
The Soul Seeker "is watching" when it's about to change its attack patterns. It will start with normal attacks, Evil Smile and Maragion until 50% HP. Past that, it starts using Agidyne and Stone Mist, and then Maragidyne and Mamudoon for the final bit of HP.
Perhaps the most worrying feature of this boss is its Mamudoon attack, which is likely to completely wipe out a party that doesn't resist it. Stone Mist can also be a problem to those without Me Patra or similar ailment-curing items, and the Curse-inducing Evil Smile exploits its low Defense to heavily damage the party's hardest hitters. However, successfully inflicting Magic Bind or Panic will almost completely neutralize the enemy, making it unable to use any of its main attacks and having to try to damage the party with its underwhelming normal attack.
Otherwise, bring party members resistant to Fire and/or Dark. The P4 hero is almost mandatory for this fight, as he is guaranteed to survive a Mamudoon and is free to revive any unlucky party members. The P3 hero, however, is weak to Dark, and will need either Resist Dark or a supply of Homunculi in order to avoid Mamudoon. Koromaru's resistance to both of this boss's attacks also make him a great party member to bring.
Another workaround is free DLC Sub-Persona Orpheus Telos; its skills Healing Harp and Absorb Fire can make the fight much easier. Healing Harp cures all ailments at the end of each turn, which makes the Soul Seeker's Stone Mist little more than a nuisance. Once Soul Seeker reaches critical HP, if Orpheus Telos (with Absorb Fire) is equipped to the P4 hero, he will be unkillable, allowing the party to whittle down the rest of its health with normal attacks if necessary.
