Kurohyō 1 walkthrough: Chapter 5, The Price of Suspicion
Bring injury medicine into this chapter's match. The story puts unusual pressure on Tatsuya's legs.
1. Check the locked infirmary, then enter the locker room to collect Saki's parcel. Deliver it to a convenience-store clerk. Any convenience store works.
2. Visit Kuki in the inner office, then go to Choraku on Taihei Boulevard West. Win the fight against the two Nioka Family men.
3. Follow the information trail in this order:
• Question the hostess near Choraku/Matsuya.
• Find the hungry homeless man behind Theater Square.
• Buy a Makunouchi Bento from Poppo on Tenkaichi Street for ¥600 and give it to him.
• Speak to the homeless man on Theater Avenue.
• Speak to the schoolgirl outside Children's Park.
• Speak to the homeless man inside the park.
• Return to the schoolgirl for the password, then speak to the homeless man again.
The password option is “時代のアダバナ売ってるか?” Select that rather than cycling through random answers.
4. Return to the Kuki office entrance. The following event starts a tailing sequence with Tenma. Stay far enough back that you are not crowding him, but keep him visible. Watch his marker on the small map when the camera changes. Hold Square to act inconspicuous when he becomes suspicious. Both getting too close and losing him can fail the tail.
5. Return to the infirmary and tell Saki you are ready.
Boss: Hayato Makabe, level 11, Street Fighting.
Your leg-injury level rises unusually quickly here. Ordinary health recovery is not a replacement for treating the injured body part, so check both before continuing to trade hits.
Use guarded, measured responses to his normal attacks. When Makabe enters Heat, he can repeat an unblockable charge several times. Run a broad curve around him and keep going until he has actually stopped. Three charges are not always the end of the sequence. Attack during the recovery rather than meeting the charge head-on. Victory pays ¥80,000.
6. After the match, visit Public Park 3 and defeat the Nioka men there. That final encounter closes the chapter.
Two easy-to-miss optional triggers are messages rather than obvious conversations. Walk through Theater Square to receive Fujimoto's invitation, then go to West Park and defeat the five karate students to unlock Karate. Walk along Shichifuku Street for the suspicious “Mayuka” message that begins the scam substory.
Hana's restaurant chain becomes available after the Kuki-office visit: Cafe Alps, Kyushu No. 1 Star, Smile Burger, Sushi Gin and Kanrai. It is optional and has its own reward, so you can finish it before returning to the arena.
