Yakuza: Dead Souls: reaching floor 51 in Endless Subterranea

Yakuza: Dead Souls: reaching floor 51 in Endless Subterranea Underground Kings asks you to clear 50 floors of Endless Subterranea. In practice, keep going until you reach floor 51 and the trophy triggers. Clearing Kine's ordinary assignments doesn't count as this challenge. Unlock Premium Adventure, then speak to Bob Utsunomiya A at Naomi's Palace to access the House of Extras. Endless Subterranea is one of those modes. I'd use Akiyama with Elise. The major advantage is his unlimited pistol ammunition. You still need to reload, but you aren't using up a finite supply every time an ordinary zombie appears. Bring a strong shotgun and another weapon you handle well for mutants and emergency crowd control. The armor matters too. Dragon Flak Vest with defensive accessories is a straightforward option. If you've already completed the full modding catalog, the Rage Armor, Rage Bracelet, and Rage Amulet set offers another approach by preventing knockdowns and staggering when used together. Don't delay the trophy just to craft that whole set if you already have a loadout that works. Take several strong healing items and spare batteries. Two or three batteries is a useful starting allowance, but the run's length and your pace matter. A healing accessory can help stretch supplies if you understand how it works. Don't devote every slot to ammunition and then discover you have no way to recover after a boss. There are no underground vendors in Endless. Whatever you carry in is what you should plan around. Also check the restrictions before entering. The Optical Camouflage Suit, Satellite Laser, and Missile Launcher are not a way to bypass this challenge; the mode restricts them. Bring a legitimate combat loadout rather than relying on a reward that the entrance won't accept.

Later ones grow longer, and after floor 30 you start encountering wooden barricades that need to be shot away. The 40s are much more crowded. At that point, your route through the room matters more than collecting every optional drop. Look at the map whenever you reach a junction. Long corridors and larger rooms are worth checking for the onward route. The layout is randomized, so this is a navigation habit, not a guarantee that one fixed turn works on every floor. Every five floors there is a prototype encounter. Arahabaki A and Onraki alternate: Arahabaki A on 5, Onraki on 10, and so on. Keep enough ammunition for those fights instead of using your strongest gun on every lone enemy between them. For Arahabaki, avoid the broad arm sweeps and pounces, then punish its recovery. For Onraki, break the chest armor and attack the weak point. Both are familiar encounters by this stage, but losing a lot of health to a repeated mistake early in the run can leave you short later. The enemies are enraged, so don't stand in a crowd waiting for Akiyama's pistols to solve everything. Use the stronger weapon when the route closes around you. Saving ammunition has no value if it costs the run. FINISHING THE RUN Reach floor 51 for the trophy. If you're finished and want the run's items and experience settled, don't choose Quit from the menu. Let the run end through defeat instead. Quitting abandons the rewards; the normal defeated-run result awards the collected rewards and progress from the descent. That's a strange enough detail that I'd decide how you're ending the run before you get there. After spending that long underground, the last thing you want is to lose the reward payout because Quit sounded like the harmless way out.
