LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN: COMBAT, UPGRADES AND MONEY If Gaiden's fights are taking too long, I would check three things before grinding more ordinary street encounters: Kiryu's Attack upgrades, the equipment he is actually wearing, and whether...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: Every Movie and an Easy Route to Ten Minigames Seagull Cinema gives you a simple job: sit in a chair and stay awake. Naturally, Yakuza turns that into a fight against men with sheep heads while a chicken tries to save...
LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN: ARCADE AND MASTER SYSTEM Gaiden's retro-game trophies are much easier than the full Activity Log targets. Retro Gamer needs five Master System games played. Arcade Dweller needs six different arcade activities tried. N...
I'm not having any issues with the dot. I'm using it right now and I've been using it for the last 6 hours. It's still not at a point where you can manage all your stuff with it but I handle a lot of different stuff with it pretty regularly...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: Can Quest, Better Scores, and the Rewards Worth Buying Can Quest introduces Ichiban to life in Ijincho by putting him on a bicycle and making him fight other grown men over empty cans. It's ridiculous, but there are u...
YAKUZA: LIKE A DRAGON: ALL KAPPA STATUES “Kappture the Kappa” pays ¥2,000,000 for photographing ten statues around Ijincho. It also gives 30 Part-time Hero stars. The difficult part is that several statues are behind windows, on balconies,...
Like a Dragon Gaiden: Build the Joryu Clan, reach Platinum and beat the Four Kings The Coliseum's difficult team fights are much more manageable when you recruit outside the arena and develop a consistent squad. Repeatedly sending the four...
Like a Dragon Gaiden: All five cabaret routes, drinks and heart-level answers If you are trying to finish Gaiden's cabaret clubs, the important part is the question at the end of each affection level. Filling the meter gets you to that ques...
LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN: ALL SEVEN GOLD BALLS Gaiden has seven Gold Balls, and collecting them is more involved than the trophy description makes it sound. Gotta Catch Some Balls! unlocks after your first ball. The Akame request Gotta Catch 'e...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: what to unlock early and what can wait The opening hours keep you poor, limit your options, and introduce the systems gradually. You don't need to solve the whole game before Chapter 5. You do need to avoid spending a...
LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN: GANGS AND THE GOLDEN SAMURAI Gaiden's gang requests need to be done in order. You won't find the Black Swallowtails finale by wandering around looking for a harder street fight before you've finished the Red Peacocks a...
LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN: ALL 50 LOCKER KEYS The coin lockers are back in Like a Dragon Gaiden. There are fifty keys, split between Sotenbori and the Castle, and the locker bank itself is beside Wild Jackson in Sotenbori. Locked Up requires thi...
LIKE A DRAGON GAIDEN: AKAME’S NETWORK AND REQUESTS Akame's network connects most of Gaiden's side content, but its menus can make the requirements look more complicated than they are. Requests are the longer side stories you accept from Aka...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: all six romances and The Lone Survivor The romance substories overlap with several other completion goals, so it's worth planning them together. They use Ichiban's personality stats, party bonds, business management,...
Like a Dragon Gaiden: Pocket Circuit builds through the Grand Masters Cup Pocket Circuit opens at CourStar during Chapter 2. The main races unlock in sequence, and the parts shop expands as you win. You can finish the entire progression wit...
Like a Dragon Gaiden: How to unlock Amon and stop him healing through your damage Amon can make a fully upgraded Kiryu look underpowered if you keep attacking while his healing mechanic is active. Gaiden gives you two Amon fights, with diff...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: every Table Talk food order Food for Thought only needs 20 Table Talks, but there are 42 to find. The awkward part is that buying dinner does not automatically mean you saw a new conversation. You need the right food...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon: the platinum and achievement roadmap This covers the international version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The original Japanese release has a different trophy setup, so don't use an older Japanese checklist interchangeably...
If you're going for platinum or all the achievements in Like a Dragon Gaiden, the first thing to know is that this is a much smaller completion job than Yakuza 0 or 5. There are no permanently missable trophies, you can do everything on Beg...
YAKUZA: LIKE A DRAGON: EVERY MISSING CAT Finding Hiro's cats is one of the most useful early detours in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The two requests pay a combined ¥2,000,000, give you 40 Part-time Hero stars, and unlock Robson as a Poundmate. Y...
