* [[Player Punch]]:
** {{spoiler|Nanako's kidnapping, and her subsequent dungeon. Not to mention her apparent death. And the utter silence when you come home after that, without Nanako's cheerful "Welcome Home, Big Bro! ^_^" to greet you. Even worse, take revenge on her behalf... and get a one-way path to the bad ending, where ''she dies.''}}
* [[Scrappy Level]]: Hello, Void Quest. It seems straightforward enough at first, but wait until it starts randomly changing your direction at every intersection. Plus, unlike the other dungeons, you have to find an item halfway through to proceed to the boss.▼
* [[Shocking Swerve]]: The revelation of {{spoiler|Adachi}} as the true murderer comes as a big shock to some players. {{spoiler|You either had to pay incredibly close attention to every bit of his dialog, or use a process of elimination when given a list of suspects and go from there. While your list of suspects isn't terribly hard to eliminate (i.e. it can't be a party member, a social link, or the guy you just proved innocent), the revelation itself is barely hinted at.}}
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: '''''Don't lie to yourself.'''''

** Shadow Kanji is pretty hard too. He starts off with two assistants, one with healing and buffing spells and one that deals high damage. The assistants have a decent amount of health, and no weaknesses in the original ''Persona 4'' (and if you're playing on ''Golden'', they'll put up Wall spells to prevent their new weaknesses from being hit). Shadow Kanji himself deals high damage, continuously poisons male party members and enrages females, and has a massive amount of health - and no weaknesses, Golden or no.
** Also, {{spoiler|Shadow Teddie}}, although he becomes extremely easy if you have a Persona with Null Ice or actually do what Rise says and guard. It's also possible to interrupt Nihil Hand by doing enough damage to the boss while he's charging up, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to manage this unless you're very high level and/or on a low difficulty setting, so guarding is the safer option.
* [[That One Level]]:

** The Hollow Forest. The idea of limiting players and upping the difficulty might have been a great idea, and ''Shin Megami Tensei'' fans were looking forward to the idea (the level was designed by the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]'' staff, after all. However, in effect, the level is just tedious. Limiting players' SP just makes battles annoying and frustrating, and enemy levels are so low that even without using SP the fights aren't difficult, just annoying. Same with taking players' items. Taking away players hard earned items, both expendable and equippable is just irritating, turning items that are usually [[Boring, but Practical]] into precious rares (just leaving the dungeon to go to the Velvet Room requires the uncommon Sacred Branch). Throw in Marie's poems every time you go to a new floor, a visually repetitive design, and the fact players are stuck with default costumes (even though this is the first dungeon since several costume options are given to the players) and you have a dungeon that's just a pain.
* [[That One Sidequest]]: Margret's Social Link requires you to fuse Personas with specific abilities. Prepare to sink a ''lot'' of spending money into the Compendium, looking up the correct Arcana combinations, praying that the resulting Persona inherits the right moves, etc.
** Ai (The Moon) is the easiest Social Link character to piss off. One wrong move, and you can have a Reversed or even Broken Social Link. There is also the fact that as long as you don't ruin the Social Link, you can end up dating her only to break up with her or vice versa. This can cause problems either way: you could end up with her breaking up with you if you actually wanted her for a girlfriend, or you can end up with her sticking with you even when you were interested in someone else, which is fairly annoying if you don't want to be cheating.
