Persona 4 Golden is filled with little side-activities, distractions, and detail that gives the foggy town of Inaba more life. One thing in town that might have caught your eye are the capsule machines AKA vending machines that sit in front of the Shiroku Store, the store that sells healing items during the day. What might confuse you though is that the capsule machine is broken and stuck most of the time. In this guide, we’ll break down how to use the capsule machine in Persona 4 Golden and get the It’s Working Today trophy and achievement.
How to Use the Capsule Machine in Persona 4 Golden
While it may be a bit frustrating to stop by the capsule machine every day just to get the same message about it not working it’s actually quite easy to figure out, it’s just that the game doesn’t outright tell you what the deal is.
No matter how many times you try, you won’t get the machine to work unless specific conditions are met. “Well, what are the conditions then?” you might be asking yourself right now.
The capsule machine in Persona 4 Golden only works during inclement weather, specifically snow and rain. If you try any other day, it won’t work.
Keep in mind that when you use it though the day will progress, so if you have something better to do like going to Aiya to get some stat boosts you should do that instead. The reason for this is because the rewards from it aren’t that special aside from just getting the trophy and achievement.
That said, it’s definitely better to use the capsule machine as opposed to doing absolutely nothing on a rainy day so if that’s the situation you’re in, in that scenario definitely remember to pay it a visit.
Anyway, that’s all you need to know for how to use the capsule machine in Persona 4 Golden. That should have solved the mystery for you and you can carry on with more trophy or achievement hunting.
