The Empress Arcana is one of the trickier ones to max out in Persona 4 Golden. She’ll ask you to fuse Personas with specific skills, and the game really doesn’t tell you what Persona the monsters fuse into. Most of the time, the fused Persona won’t even have the skill she’s looking for. To save you time, here are all the combinations you need to know to fuse the Persona Margaret wants in Persona 4 Golden.

To fuse the Personas Margaret is asking for, you can either do two things: recruit or randomly fuse the Persona she’s looking for and teach the skill with a card or fuse the correct Personas. The latter is arguably the easier option, as skill cards (especially the ones you need) are hard to come by.
Some notes before we start:
- It’s easier to fuse stronger Personas than search for them in dungeons.
- Fuse any low-level Personas you obtain.
- If fusing Persona results in one that you don’t have yet, fuse it.
- Higher-level dungeons have better chances of giving you higher-level Personas during Shuffle Time and vice versa. So, if you’re looking for something as weak as Ghoul, you’ll have a better chance of finding it in Yukiko’s Castle.
- All Personas can be fused.
If you want to fuse the Personas you need instead of looking for them, you can use Aqui384’s fusion list on Github. Simply click on the Persona you want to fuse and it’ll show you all the fusions you can do to make it.
Just remember that fusions can sometimes cause “surprises,” which means you could end up with a totally different Persona than the one you were aiming for. But don't worry, the game isn't mean enough to ruin any of your final Margaret fusions!

There are a ton of other fusions that can create Ganesha here—just be sure to choose the ones with Decarabia since it has Tetrakarn by default. However, they all involve Towers, which need fusions to create, so Decarabia + Mithra + Yatsufusa is arguably your best option.

Daisoujou | Magatsu Mandala in Magatsu Inaba |
Daisoujou can also be fused using the combinations on this list. It can be harder or easier to do this. It really depends on whether or not you already have the Personas listed. That's why it's good practice to fuse any extra Personas you have.
It’s a lot of hard work, but it’ll definitely be worth it in the end. At Rank Max, Margaret will give you a Spiral Brooch. This item will allow you to fuse Isis, the best healer in Persona 4 Golden. It's a Bufu or Ice-equipped Persona.
