# Yakuza Kiwami 2: Later Substories, Four Shine, and Amon
Picking up with Chapter 6, here's the rest of the substory route, including the club outings that begin earlier but depend on your business progress. The numbers match the Completion List order, not the order you have to do them. Chapter labels are unlock points, not deadlines.
There are story spoilers below. Keep a separate save before minigame challenges and the Amon fights, and check Haruka and nighttime requirements if a marker is missing.
## Chapter 6: Kamurocho
### 13. Rags to Riches
Listen to Michael Naoya near Wette Kitchen and take his CD. Trade it to the novelist outside Stardust for a Slick Fountain Pen. Trade the pen to the woman by Ebisu Pawn for Chic Boots. At Earth Angel, hear about the missing scarf. Give the boots to the homeless man in Children's Park for that scarf, then return it to its owner at Earth Angel. Final reward: Swiss Watch. It's Stardust for the first trade, not Sotenbori's Sunshine. [Trading chain](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Rags_to_Riches)
### 15. Rising from the Shadows
At night, speak to the haggard man near the Champion District's southern entrance and take the Dirty Video. Watch it at Fusion. Follow the medium's instructions to the southeastern Senryo Avenue area and pay ¥100,000 for the ritual. Finish the encounter for the Exorcism Stone and the return of your payment. No fight is needed. [Cursed-video sequence](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Rising_from_the_Shadows)
### 16. Secret Stash
Find the seller in the Hotel District alcove south of Akaushimaru. Pay ¥20,000 for key B1, open the Kamurocho locker, and watch its Suspicious Video at Fusion. Report the hidden camera to Cafe Alps, follow the fleeing employee toward Ebisu Pawn, and defeat the men who intervene. Reward: ¥200,000, not ¥20,000. [Hidden-camera investigation](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Secret_Stash)
### 17. Beam's Backroom Cache
After the story conversation with the information broker in Theater Square, speak to him again about Beam. At Debolah, pay Nitta ¥50,000 for the password instructions. Go to Beam, ask for “Take-chan's High School Heaven,” then enter 2600. This opens its hidden weapon shop. You don't need to visit Cafe Alps and buy every drink to calculate the answer. [Beam password](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Beam's_Backroom_Cache)
### 18. Welcome to the Modern Age
Help Date with the salesman outside the Nakamichi Street Smile Burger. After signing up, walk around to receive the first call, the follow-up emails, and the later call directing you to the office. Follow the blue marker inside the building that contains Lullaby Mahjong on Tenkaichi Street. Confront Tanabe and defeat his men. The office confrontation is the ending; the repeated messages are part of the chain. [Internet-scam sequence](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-6-substories)
## Chapter 7: Kamurocho
### 14. A Whirlwind Dirt Tour
Meet Il Yu-Jin at Kanrai and agree to guide him. Save first if you want the bonus photo. His destinations are Fusion, Earth Angel, then Kyushu No. 1 Star. Red arrows show fans, and being caught costs you the clean-run bonus.
For Fusion, swing west around Bantam, south, then east around Beam before coming back north. For Earth Angel, use the Champion District's southern entrance and circle through the alleys to approach from the north. For ramen, leave west, loop north along Shichifuku and down East Millennium Tower Street, then use Taihei, Nakamichi, the Ebisu Pawn crossing, and Pink Alley. Keep checking the minimap and let him keep up. Reward: ¥300,000, plus his photo if no fans catch you. [Escort route](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-7-substories)
### 23. Granny in Peril
Returning from the Bantam fight toward Serena starts Granny White's introduction. Defeat the men pursuing her. Her later emails send you first to Shichifuku Parking Lot and then Theater Square. Meet her and win each encounter, including the final fight with Yen Long's group. Walk around between stages to trigger the messages. Reward: Scroll of Spearmanship. This clears her first story and opens the request chain below. [Granny's three encounters](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Granny_in_Peril)
## Chapter 8: Kamurocho, plus Granny's requests
### 3. Embracing My True Self
At night, speak to Yuya outside Stardust and agree to have a drink. After the biker confrontation, speak to Miyu outside, then visit Ako at Earth Angel. Leave for the call about Stardust, return, and defeat the bikers in BOTH fights. Yuya's later conversation wraps it up. This is also required before Granny can get his photograph in #63. [Nighttime requirement and full sequence](https://dswiipspwikips3.jp/yakuza-kiwami2/substories/substories01.html)
### 10. Smart Futures
Help Hiro-yan outside the Showa Street Poppo and invest ¥500,000 when offered. Walk away, return, and he'll offer ¥700,000 to buy the shares back. Refuse ONCE, then accept his improved ¥800,000 offer. Refusing twice leaves you with nothing.
Listen to the men farther up Pink Street, then return south and speak to the original yakuza to finish. The best route gives a ¥300,000 net profit. Selling the stock isn't the final conversation. [Stock choices](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-8-substories)
### 11. Kamurocho Forestry Association
Sign the petition near Akaushimaru at the Taihei/Tenkaichi side of town. After the debt message and Yuya's call, speak to Morita in Theater Square. Go to the third-floor office in the Park Boulevard building containing the modeling studio. Defeat the scammer AND destroy all four computers. Throwing or using them as weapons works. The fight won't finish just because you've hit the man enough. Reward: ¥100,000. [Petition scam](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Kamurocho_Forestry_Association)
### 62. Granny's Request, Part 1
After #23, visit Sotenbori and watch for Granny's invitation. If you're doing this immediately and no message comes, continue into Chapter 8 and revisit. Find her beneath Bishamon Bridge on the south-side footpath. She wants Handmade Cookies from the West Shichifuku Poppo in KAMUROCHO. Buy them there, return, and hand them over for the Scroll of the Golden Wall. [Cookie request](https://dswiipspwikips3.jp/yakuza-kiwami2/substories/substories07.html)
### 63. Granny's Request, Part 2
Complete #62 and Yuya's #3, then walk through Theater Square in Kamurocho for Granny's next email. Visit Stardust at night and get Yuya's photo. Take it back to Granny beneath Bishamon Bridge in Sotenbori. Reward: Scroll of Impenetrable Body. If Stardust is shut, you're dealing with a time-of-day condition, not a missing item shop. [Photo request prerequisites](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-8-substories)
### 64. Granny's Request, Part 3
After #63, walk along southern Nakamichi Street for her next message. You can receive the request now, but finishing it needs Haruka with you. During Chapter 13's outing or a later free-roam opportunity, take Haruka to Granny beneath Bishamon Bridge. Reward: Scroll of Furious Fists. Don't keep changing cities trying to finish it while Haruka is unavailable. [Haruka requirement](https://neoseeker.com/yakuza-kiwami-2/walkthrough/Substories61-76)
## Chapter 10: Sotenbori
### 47. Stolen
Approach the knife-wielding woman in southwestern Shofukucho and help find her sister. Confront Yagi near Ebisu Pawn, then Kajiwara at the golf center. Their fights lead to Kojima's office in the Midoriyama Building above Wild Jackson. Beat that group, then go to Gandhara and speak to the clerk to reach the fifth booth and rescue Miki. Rewards: ¥150,000 and Sotenbori key J4. Recruit Yuriko afterward outside Four Shine. [Rescue chain](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Stolen)
### 48. The Hunt for Tatsu
Speak to the suspicious man on Iwao Bridge. Find him again on the northern riverside walkway harassing Murata and defeat him. Murata sends you to the contact near Bishamon Bridge. Pass that man's combat test, then return to Murata near Iwao Bridge. He calls Tatsu's boat over, permanently opening the floating weapons shop. You don't have to buy a weapon to finish the introduction. [Tatsu's shop](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-10-substories)
### 50. The Man Who Can't Sing
Outside the Grand, help the street musician being harassed by an angry listener. Beat the thug and hear the musician out. His name is Takuo Yoshioka, which matters for the next story. This short encounter has no minigame performance requirement. [Musician encounter](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/The_Man_Who_Can't_Sing)
### 51. The Woman Who Can't Play
After #50, go to the south side of Don Quijote on Shofukucho Street. Defeat the men harassing Miki. When she needs a musical partner, give Takuo Yoshioka's name. Complete their meeting for the Patriarch's Bowling Ball. Afterward, find Miki outside Four Shine to hire her. A different answer can change the item reward, so use the correct name. [Music partnership](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/The_Woman_Who_Can't_Play)
### 54. Clearing the Fog
Speak to the amnesiac on the north riverside path near Bishamon Bridge and agree to help. In the first fight, pick up the stun gun lying nearby and hit him with it. Simply beating him down doesn't meet the objective. Once his memory returns, he attacks properly; now defeat him normally. You receive ¥20,000 at the start of the arrangement. [Required stun-gun step](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Clearing_the_Fog)
### 55. Yakuza Sunset
Hear the young men talking about the film in southwestern Shofukucho. Meet the director on Bishamon Bridge, collect his dropped script, and return it at Stijl. Watch Yakuza Sunset 3 at Gandhara, then go back to Stijl.
For the film discussion, choose the plot about a yakuza fighting for the woman he loves and say the action was weak. Agree to help with the rehearsal. The intended lines welcome the young master home and apologize to the patriarch; wrong picks can be corrected. Defeat the invading thugs for the Bloody Binding. [Film sequence](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Yakuza_Sunset)
## Chapter 11: Sotenbori
### 49. The Obatarian Strikes Again
Walk along the eastern end of South Shofukucho, south of Four Shine, to run into Etsuko. Continue the supermarket dispute, then defeat the man who threatens her. You get Granny's Candy. Find Etsuko outside Four Shine afterward to recruit her; finishing the street scene doesn't automatically add her to the roster. [Etsuko's return](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/The_Obatarian_Strikes_Again)
### 53. The Elusive Model 12
Talk to the collector inside the West Shofukucho Poppo. Buy Space Samurai figure boxes from that store's clerk, up to five at a time, and check Inventory → Valuables for the results. Keep buying until you have Model 12, then talk to the collector again.
Accepting the first trade gives Model 3. For the better offer, refuse twice before accepting: Model 7 plus ¥10,000. The figures are random, so not getting Model 12 in your first batch isn't a missed trigger. [Figure trade](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-11-substories)
### 57. Kazuma Kiryu, Professional Voice Actor
Meet the worried man outside Sotenbori's Smile Burger on East Shofukucho. Accept the recording job and complete the four script exchanges. There's no combat and no reward penalty for choosing the funny answers; the scene guides you through the necessary recording. Finish for the Straight-laced Suit. [Recording-session choices](https://dswiipspwikips3.jp/yakuza-kiwami2/substories/substories06.html)
## Chapter 13: bring Haruka
Take this opportunity to finish #64 as well. For the two stories here, Haruka must actually be walking with Kiryu.
### 4. Rooftop Revenge
At NIGHT, with Haruka accompanying you, approach the crowd on East Shichifuku Street near Kanrai. Agree to help the couple on the roof and work through the conversation. The choices change the dialogue, not the final reward or completion. Finish for Spy Gloves. Both the nighttime and Haruka requirements matter. [Rooftop conditions](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Rooftop_Revenge)
### 12. The Cabaret Killer
With Haruka, listen to the hostesses beside Shine on Pink Street. Investigate the attack in Nakamichi Alley north of Ebisu Pawn, then talk to the hostess's friend at the next marker. Follow the lead to Stardust. After Yuka's call, go behind Kotobuki Drugs and finish the investigation.
Reward: Heavenly Beasts Bracelet, an especially useful piece of protection for the Amon fights. Yuka can also be hired outside Four Shine afterward. [Investigation route](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cabaret_Killer)
## Four Shine: all seven club substories
These aren't seven random street markers. Six come from the platinum hostesses' dinner chains, and the last comes from finishing the Grand Prix storyline.
Work the relevant hostess in Ranking Matches to level her up. Dinner invitations appear at levels 10, 20, and 30. Speak to her inside Four Shine when the glass icon is available and complete all three dinners. Then run another Ranking Match and speak to her again to trigger her substory. If she isn't offering the next outing, check her level and run another shift. Perfect dinner answers help with experience, but they aren't a requirement to unlock the story. [Dinner progression](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/preparing-your-platinums)
Koyuki is your starter. Kana joins after Fresh League, Aika after Paradise, Shoko after Executive, Yua after Millionaire, and Kirara after the Final Match. The first three substory chains are available from Chapter 4; the later club progression requires Chapter 6. [Hostess recruitment](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/the-hostess-brigade)
### 69. Operation Panty Bait
Finish Koyuki's three dinners and take her next outing. During the stakeout, wait through the first three men and confront the fourth. Defeat the culprit. The final decision about the bait doesn't prevent completion. Keeping it gives the Cute Panties item, though Koyuki doesn't appreciate that decision. [Koyuki's substory](https://neoseeker.com/yakuza-kiwami-2/walkthrough/CabaretClub-Koyuki)
### 70. What Was Passed Down
Recruit Kana, finish her three dinners, and speak to her after another Ranking Match. Accompany her to check on Masumi at her new workplace. Continue the confrontation and defeat the hired muscle. Finish Kana and Masumi's conversation to clear the story. This doesn't require completing every other hostess's dinner chain. [Kana's outing](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-4-substories)
### 71. Aika, the Party Queen
Recruit Aika and finish her three dinners. On the next outing, meet her friend and the friend's mother, then intervene when hosts try to extort them. Defeat both men, dealing with the weaker partner first if the tougher host is giving you trouble. Finish the return-to-Four-Shine scene to close the story. [Aika's encounter](https://neoseeker.com/yakuza-kiwami-2/walkthrough/Substories61-76)
### 72. Something Important
Recruit Shoko, complete her dinners, and take the next outing about her manga competition. When she needs inspiration, choose Four Shine. Watch the club scene, then leave Four Shine and enter again for the result. That final re-entry is easy to miss and is needed to finish the story. [Shoko's competition](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Something_Important)
### 73. Big Scoop: Yua in Love!?
Recruit Yua by winning Millionaire League and finish her three dinners. Speak to her for the outing about the paparazzi. Continue the surveillance discussion, confront the stalker, and defeat him when he refuses to give up his recordings and photographs. Watch the closing scene. Her level and dinner progress matter; simply having recruited her isn't enough. [Yua's substory](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-6-substories)
### 74. Foil the Wedding Fraud!
Recruit Kirara by winning the Final Match, then finish her three dinners and run another Ranking Match. Her next outing becomes an investigation of Yuki's mystery companion. Keep observing through the meetings for the straightforward route. Interrupting doesn't permanently fail the story. Finish the conversations and final club scene; there's no extra combat challenge to unlock afterward. [Kirara and Yuki](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Foil_the_Wedding_Fraud!)
### 75. Treat Me Right
After winning the Grand Prix Final Match, leave Four Shine and return. Yuki gives Kiryu an appreciation bonus that belongs to this story, not his spendable wallet. Speak to EVERYONE in the club for gift suggestions. Once all conversations are done, Majima arrives and the ending plays out. This is separate from Kirara's three dinners, so you can finish it before #74. [Gift storyline](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Treat_Me_Right)
## The four Amon fights
Complete all 71 non-Amon substories first. That includes all the Four Shine stories and the Haruka-dependent ones. The Amons then unlock in order, starting in Chapter 13 at the earliest.
Save before each fight. Restock healing, raise your health and defense, and equip protection suited to the opponent. These are ordinary substory fights, so you CAN use recovery items. Don't apply Bouncer Mission restrictions to them.
The first three brothers bring up temporary shields that block Heat Action damage. Back off and survive until those drop, or use ordinary Photon Blade attacks if you have one. Repeating Heat Actions into a shield wastes damage opportunities. Jo's final shield needs a different approach. [Amon unlocks and shield mechanics](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-13-substories)
### 38. Kazuya Amon
Find Kazuya in Shichifuku Parking Lot. He fights with twin axes, which you can't safely block barehanded. Bring blade protection, evade the combo, and hit during his recovery. Use different Heat Actions while he's vulnerable instead of repeating one until its damage falls away. When the shield appears, survive the phase rather than trading with him. Defeat him to unlock Jiro. [Kazuya's fighting style](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Kazuya_Amon)
### 39. Jiro Amon
After Kazuya, meet Jiro in the Serena backlot. His gun and status attacks make Sacred Wood Armor and the Heavenly Beasts Bracelet particularly valuable. Move away from thrown grenades, close the distance when there's an opening, and use cover near the stairs during his shield phase. Don't stand in the open trying to tank sustained gunfire while waiting for another Heat prompt. [Jiro's weapons and shield](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Jiro_Amon)
### 40. Sango Amon
After Jiro, go to Theater Square. Sango's rocket launcher can erase a huge amount of health, so heal early and keep moving. Interrupt him with attacks and Heat Actions while he's vulnerable. If he creates space, expect a rocket rather than chasing in a straight line. Circle the structure on the square's west side for cover during the shield, then resume attacking when it drops. [Sango's rocket attacks](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Sango_Amon)
### 41. The Ultimate Assassin
After Sango, check on Komaki in the Champion District lot. Then go to the lower atrium inside Millennium Tower and challenge Jo Amon. Equip blade and status protection, and bring more healing than you think you'll need.
He changes weapons as his health falls. Respect the flaming-sword phase: don't depend on a normal guard to stop it. Dodge, punish openings, and use Heat Actions while they still damage him. In the final dual-sword phase, his shield doesn't simply expire like his brothers' shields. Switch to reliable normal weapon attacks or charged attacks, including the chained charge attacks opened by Granny's final scroll. Watch your health instead of gambling everything on one long combo. [Jo's weapon phases](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Jo_Amon)
Winning gives the Book of Ultimate Secrets and clears the final substory. Read it, check the newly available ability, and verify that all 75 entries are checked on the list. This also opens further rewards such as Kamiyama's Weaponomicon purchase. [Final Amon battle and rewards](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/218734-yakuza-kiwami-2/faqs/76366/chapter-13-substories)
## If you're one story short
Check these before running every street again:
- Did you finish the last return visit in Lend a Claw, Supporting Sunflower, or Something Important?
- Did you actually talk to Akagi to start his challenge, rather than score points through the golf receptionist?
- Did you take all six platinums through three dinners AND their separate story outings?
- Did you bring Haruka for #4, #12, and #64, with nighttime set for #4?
- Did you finish #3 before trying to get Yuya's photograph?
- Did you complete the four Amons in order rather than counting the Amon enemies in Bouncer Missions?
That's all 75. Work through the chapters at your own pace, keep the club progressing in the background, and use the actual completion list for cleanup. You don't need to restart because you left a substory for later.
