Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties platinum guide, part 2 🏆

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties platinum guide, part 2 🏆 Dark Ties has 16 campaign-specific trophies. It is required for the shared platinum, but you don't need to complete every Kanda challenge, max every ability or play on a high difficulty. STORY • Hunger: finish chapter 1. • Complicity: finish chapter 2. • The Kirin's Ambition: finish chapter 3. • The Life: finish both Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties. This is the shared story-completion trophy, separate from each campaign's ending trophy. MINE'S UPGRADES AND COMBAT • I'm Stronger Than I Look / I'm Much Stronger Than I Look: buy 20 / 40 abilities. Stat upgrades count. Mine uses money for upgrades, so put the cash from Damage Control and arena activities back into health and attack. • Chairman of the Dark Side: defeat 50 enemies while Dark Awakening is active. Use it on groups while progressing through the arena. • Waste of Mine's Time: land 50 special-action follow-ups. Hold Circle/B to launch Mine's jumping special action, then use its attack follow-up against another enemy. Ordinary Heat Actions aren't the target here. Check Damage Control Challenge → Battle to see the counter move. KANDA DAMAGE CONTROL • Kanda Kinda Trashy: reach Karma rank 3. • Kanda Kinda Godlike: reach Karma rank 8. • Actually God: watch all Bro Time events with Kanda. The final event unlocks at rank 10, Demigod. The trophy name does not mean you must grind to the maximum Karma rank. • Dark Hero: finish seven Good Deeds. These are the named side missions, not seven random challenge-list ticks. Start with the Chapter 2 introduction. At Karma rank 2, accept Coliseum Investigation from the office to unlock Hell's Arena. Good Deeds pay money and Karma, so they work toward upgrades and the rank trophies together. Take available requests from the office before hunting for their map markers. Vehicle Burglary Prevention is one example that needs nighttime. HELL'S ARENA • To Brawl is the Glory of Man: win five different Brawler Hell tournament types. Winning the same one five times isn't the target. • A Taste of Hell: clear three Survival Hell courses. • To Hell and Back: clear all five Survival Hell courses. Ringing three gongs inside one course is not three course clears. Brawler Hell is the tournament desk. Survival Hell is the dungeon mode. Check you're selecting the right activity. Gospels improve Mine for the dungeon mode, Survival Weapons give additional tools, and hired mercenaries fight alongside him. These upgrades make a real difference in the later courses. For Survival Hell, collect chests rather than charging straight past every upgrade. If a run is getting dangerous, use an escape point to bank what you've collected instead of dying and losing that run's haul. The timer reaching zero starts draining your health; it doesn't instantly fail the run. The later courses are where you should invest in a stronger loadout. Status-damage protection helps with the fourth course's poison. For the fifth, mercenaries such as Kanda, Doctor Heresy and Cold-Blooded Black Cat can take pressure off Mine. Brawler Hell rewards help improve your dungeon options, so doing more than the five required tournaments can still save you trouble. Use the safe area at the back of the poison boss arena. Against the final course's group of bosses, keep moving, take safe openings and let your mercenaries help instead of standing in the middle taking hits. You can build strength through successful escapes and return better prepared; there is no trophy for doing this underpowered. MINIGAMES • I'm Much More Fun than I Look: play five different minigames as Mine. Kiryu's activity count doesn't cover this. • Mine Da Ne!: sing Baka Mitai at Karaokekan and finish the song. No score target is attached to the trophy. A simple five-type route is Print Club, UFO Catcher, an arcade game, karaoke and a Game Gear game at the office. Check Damage Control Challenge → Entertainment to confirm all five registered. SAVE YOURSELF A REPLAY Premium Adventure is the place for trophy cleanup. New Game+ resets substantial side-content progress. In Kiwami 3, that includes ordinary substories, Reapers, LaLaLa progress, the Bad Boy Dragon storyline and Morning Glory children's bonds. Many possessions and character upgrades carry over, but that doesn't preserve the activity clears you still need. Keep the completed save. Dark Ties NG+ resets Kanda Damage Control and Survival Hell progress, even though collected Gospels, Survival Weapons and mercenaries carry over. Finish the remaining trophies in Premium Adventure before starting over. Demo progress also does not transfer to the full game. With The Life and every other trophy unlocked, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is the platinum. You can leave the remaining completion-list grind for another day.
