YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: EVERY HARUKA SUBSTORY

YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: EVERY HARUKA SUBSTORY Haruka has 15 listed substories. Unless an entry says otherwise, begin looking in Part 3, Chapter 2. Noa Amon is an additional hidden challenge, not a sixteenth entry on her normal list. Several of these test answers or timing rather than fighting. Save before starting if you want the best reward. The choices here use the English Remastered version. 1. THE LETTERS Go near the southwest save point by Sotenbori's lockers. After Ayako's messages, head to the Bunzaemon Mall entrance near the taxi for Haruka's Okinawa interview. Use these replies: “Prove them wrong”; “Looks aren't the only thing”; “Just keep on doing what you've been doing.” Finish the interview to receive ¥20,000. 2. SBR99 Walk south from Dyna Chair and talk to the producer, Fuyumoto. Accept his offer and complete the three consecutive assignments: a dance battle, a solo performance of So Much More!, and a handshake event. All three use their easy settings. Finish the whole sequence for ¥10,000 rather than leaving after the first performance. 3. THE ANNOUNCER SCHOOL Talk to the woman offering business cards just northeast of the southeast save point. Attend the class. When asked to identify bad sentences, choose: “Alyssa and me did our homework together”; “If I'd known, I would of done it differently”; “I accidently took the wrong bus.” For the timed tongue-twister choices, pick these option numbers in order: - Seashells: 2, 3, 1. - Peter Piper: 1, 1, 2. - Anemone: 3, 3, 2. Continue through the closing conversation. You can still finish with mistakes, but a correct performance gives the clean resolution. 4. FIND THE PAPARAZZI Speak to Mr. Uda outside Bunzaemon Mall. Walk west toward Don Quijote until Haruka notices someone watching. Enter first-person view and find the cameraman to the west, near the pole, then confirm him. Continue west for the second search; he is farther north up the street on its west side. Cross the western bridge heading north and reach the next intersection for the third search; look near the street dancer. Identify him all three times to finish and receive ¥10,000. 5. AUTOGRAPH SESSION Walk into the western intersection of Sotenbori Street to trigger the fans. The correct name options are 2, 3, 3, 1, 2. Work through all five autographs. A flawless session earns a Staminan Royale. 6. THE COMEDIAN HOPEFUL At the northeast intersection, listen to the man in the yellow shirt and plaid jacket, then speak to him. Agree to perform with Haruo. Pass the first audition with at least 80 on the Laughter Gauge. You must time the response as he finishes speaking, using the remaster's meter; correct words alone aren't enough. First-audition responses, in order: 1. That's right. 2. Really? 3. Oh yeah? 4. Ya don't say? 5. Wow! 6. Nice! 7. That's called getting jumped! 8. Uh-huh. 9. Whoa! 10. I'm on the edge of my seat! 11. More like punching bag! 12. Here we go again. 13. Wait for it, wait for it... 14. “He”? So it was a guy? 15. You still went out with him? 16. I'm not surprised! Pause between lines if you need to check the list. Retry until you pass. That first successful audition completes the substory and awards Toughness ZZ. The other two auditions are required for full Comedy Team minigame completion, not this substory. 7. MANAGER FOR A DAY Visit the takoyaki stand in the northeast and speak to its owner. Agree to try the food, then perform the handshake event arranged nearby. Complete the event to finish the story and receive ¥30,000. 8. MAGICAL HARUKA Talk to Minamida's assistant outside Club SEGA and try the IF8R game. Haruka's wand uses Light Attack for close-range attacks and Heavy Attack for projectiles; the projectile attack can also be charged. Clear the offered event to finish the substory and gain Boost Heat Gauge. Her version is not cleared by Akiyama playing the machine. 9. LIGHT AND DARK On the southern riverside footpath around its midpoint, speak to the aspiring idol after her phone call. Win the dance battle, then talk again and take part in the studio performance. After separating, wait for her call and return to your original riverside meeting spot. Go to her event and choose “It's natural to feel nervous,” followed by “Think positive.” Complete the event for a Staminan Spark. 10. A NORMAL LIFE First complete the third entry in Haruka's Dance Battle Story. Then cross Bishamon Bridge and speak to the two schoolgirls around its midpoint. Accept the okonomiyaki invitation. Use: “You two seem close”; “Appleton”; “To spend time with friends of the same age”; “I want to concentrate on my career.” Finish the outing for Toughness ZZ. 11. WATAMI VS. WATAMIN-CHI Walk past Watami to receive Yamaura's call, then speak to her at Dyna Chair and accept the audition. Give these answers: “Good old-fashioned home cooking”; “Wearing a cute cook's apron”; “Red, Red, Fuzzy Cow Pow”; “Haruka Sweet 17.” Complete the subsequent solo dance event through its final stage to close the substory. 12. STARBOUND At the east side of Iwao Bridge, speak to the young woman who challenges Haruka. Win the short dance battle. This completes the story and opens Haruka's Revelation opportunity, so don't mistake the first conversation and battle for having already learned the Revelation. 13. GOURMET REPORTER Finish Haruka's Tatsuya training first. Find him just northeast of her apartment, suffering from a stomach problem, and agree to take over the food reporting. Use the reactions: “First time”; “Melting in the mouth”; “It smells really fresh”; “Don't even have to chew it.” Complete the report for ¥10,000. 14. A SOURCE OF STRENGTH In Part 3, Chapter 4, wait until Haruka can enter Dyna Chair freely without immediately advancing the main story. Speak to Yamaura inside, then go to Bunzaemon Mall's entrance. Perform So Much More! to complete the event. 15. LOST DREAMS This waits until Finale Chapter 4, after Haruka's meeting in Public Park 3. Approach the crowd at the north end of Nakamichi Street in Kamurocho and speak to Yamaura. Next, go to the crowd at Theater Square. Find Kurata to the northwest, speak to her, and win the dance battle. Finish this before accepting Haruka's final departure confirmations if you want it included in your pre-ending cleanup. AFTER ALL 15 Check that each normal entry is complete. Separately finish agency jobs, the Dance Battle Story, Yoko's lessons, performances, and the relevant minigames. Noa Amon unlocks after all agency jobs during the late finale window: find the messenger outside Dyna Chair, beat Noa at the southwest parking lot, then take the taxi to the television concert. That extra does not replace a missing normal substory or gate the men's Amon battle. Premium Adventure lets you return to Haruka's unfinished activities, but it cannot create new clear data for New Game Plus. Keep the save before her final departure if your goal is a fully prepared story-clear file.
