Hollow Forest

Hollow Forest is a dungeon exclusive to Persona 4 Golden, only available after completing the Aeon Social Link (Marie) before defeating Ameno-sagiri and if the protagonist asks Margaret to locate Marie.
==Profile==
The Hollow Forest is Marie's reality within the Midnight Channel, created when she enters the TV world after regaining her memories. The Investigation Team is first taken to the Hollow Forest on February 12 by Margaret, who explains that she has formed a unique path between the TV in the cottage storage shed and this world, after finally locating Marie's whereabouts. Margaret informs them that Marie has sealed herself into this dungeon for reasons unknown, and also explains that this world is currently on the verge of collapsing. Therefore, if the team does not save Marie quickly, she will disappear along with the Hollow Forest, and all memories of her will disappear from everyone's minds.
The Hollow Forest takes an appearance similar to Yomotsu Hirasaka, as a world apparently shrouded in fog. However, there are bits and pieces of the real world seen throughout this dungeon, such as Junes signs and benches, along with and ancient Japanese artworks. This represents Marie's origin, as a spirit from ancient Japanese times, as well as her hidden desire to stay in the real world. Each of the Hollow Forest floors are named "Memories" - Memories of Parting (1F), Pain (2F), Grief (3F), Sorrow (4F), Love (5F), Suffering (6F), Anger (7F), Loneliness (8F), Invitation (9F) and Meeting (10F).
Unlike the other dungeons in the game, the Hollow Forest features several special restrictions while traversing the dungeon: 
*The party is only allowed to use items and equipment found within the Hollow Forest. The player's inventory and money is returned to them whenever they return to the entrance or after they leave the dungeon, but any items earned within the dungeon cannot be taken out to other environments.
*Each party member that had a turn in a fight will have their SP halved after each fight. However, there is special equipment that can be found within the dungeon in order to restore SP and to gain other beneficial effects. Cup cards from Shuffle Time also become much more important in continuing through the dungeon.
*The party is not allowed to use Traesto to leave the Hollow Forest. They can only use Sacred Branches obtained from Shadows or chests.
*Other than the Isolated Hand, the Shadows fought here yield no money. Any money earned from Isolated Hands is not preserved when returning from this dungeon.
On the floors Memories of Parting (1F), Sorrow (4F) and Anger (7F), the party might encounter Shadows when breaking the "seals" to continue. Shadows may also appear from both regular chests and locked chests. Also, there are two "mini-bosses" that the party must face prior to the final boss, instead of the usual one.
After Marie is rescued, the dungeon begins to disappear as it no longer needs to fulfill its purpose. When the party escapes through the TV connected to the dungeon, its screen shatters.

==Trivia==
*The Hollow Forest's specific gameplay was designed by the team that was responsible for the battles in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.
*If the protagonist wins a battle while equipped with a Persona with Victory Cry, the Skill's HP and SP restoration effect is applied before SP is halved, so that the protagonist will have half of his max SP.
*The Hollow Forest is the only dungeon in the game that collapses and is destroyed after a major boss is defeated.
*The Hollow Forest contains many structures called "Haniwa," which are usually small clay dolls buried with the dead.
