Yakuza 6's Clan Creator is worth setting up properly before you start grinding it. You're going to need one hundred victories for all achievements, and those fights can also build a level-99 leader and fund Kiryu's upgrades. You might as we...
The cat café in Yakuza 6 has one pretty serious problem when Kiryu finds it: there aren't any cats. Helping with that gives you nineteen strays to find, nine in Kamurocho and ten in Onomichi. Visit Nyan Nyan Café in the Senryo Avenue buildi...
Yakuza 6 replaces the old coin-locker hunt with ten keyed safes, plus one separate coded safe on New Serena's roof. Five keyed safes are in Kamurocho and five are in Onomichi. Their map icons tell you where the safes are, but the keys still...
Onomichi's Yakuza 6 substories have several connected chains. Baseball leads into recruiting, recruiting opens Snack New Gaudi, the bar gives you more players and a strong speargun, and those rewards help finish the other activities. Doing...
For Yakuza 6's substories, the first thing to clear up is timing. A story that hasn't appeared yet usually needs a chapter, a time of day, or another activity completed. It doesn't automatically mean you missed it permanently. Premium Adven...
Yakuza 6 has a much more manageable platinum than several of the earlier games, but there are still a few places where you can waste a lot of time by following the wrong requirements. The big one: You Did It asks for 100 completed items on...
All right, next is Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. This is where a lot of what I said earlier about Kiryu and Haruka comes into play, so I'm going to separate the game itself from how I feel about the direction their relationship took. There ar...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: FINALE CLEANUP, FINAL BOSSES, AND LEGEND Major story spoilers follow. This is the practical route through the finale: when characters become available, where the last cleanup windows are, and how to prepare for the endi...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: THE FOUR AMON FIGHTS, STEP BY STEP This is the final listed substory. It opens after all 77 other listed substories across Kiryu, Saejima, Haruka, Akiyama, and Shinada. Haruka's hidden Noa Amon challenge is separate and...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: THE COMPLETE TROPHY AND ACHIEVEMENT CHECKLIST Use this beside the 100% roadmap. Hall of Famer and the achievement list overlap, but neither list is a reliable substitute for checking the other. PlayStation and Xbox cons...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: ALL 30 ULTIMATE MATCHES Ultimate Matches unlock after clearing the story. They use preset characters and equipment, so campaign grinding won't change the loadout. The last five battles unlock after the first 25 challeng...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: VICTORY ROAD AND EVERY COLISEUM TOURNAMENT Victory Road is the street-qualifier storyline that opens the full arena route. Coliseum rank and fame are separate systems. Completing one protagonist's arena checklist does n...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: ALL FIVE HOSTESSES, RANK EVENTS AND ELISE RECRUITMENT This is a relationship-progression guide, not a cabaret-management minigame. The four male protagonists each have a designated local hostess. Completing all four is...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: TATSUYA, EVERY RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATION AND FOOD COMPLETION Food completion is not just buying one of everything from the first menu you see. Tatsuya adds new dishes, substories change menus, some restaurants hide orde...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: KAMIYAMA CRAFTING, MATERIALS AND MONEY The important distinction at Kamiyama Works is INVEST versus MATERIAL. Investing an item permanently unlocks a recipe but consumes that item. A material is carried in your inventor...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: ALL REVELATIONS AND THE COMPLETE IF8 ROUTE There are five scene-based Revelations and twelve weapon Revelations. The latter are new heavy attacks, not Heat Actions. Treat them as separate checklists. SCENE REVELATIONS K...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: EVERY TRAINING MASTER, STEP BY STEP Training is one of the few side activities worth prioritizing even if you're only playing the story. The counters, durability upgrades, Heat Actions and level-cap breakthrough make th...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: SHINADA'S BASEBALL STORY, ALL REQUESTS & SIX COURSES The Cost of a Swing starts in Part 4 Chapter 2. This guide covers the full mission board, Igarashi's training, equipment, and the separate batting-center completion r...
YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED: HARUKA'S IDOL JOBS, DANCE STORY, YOKO & NOA AMON A practical route with the job answer keys and the missable decision that matters. Story spoilers follow. DO THESE THINGS IN THIS ORDER 1. Learn the concert, street dance...
Yakuza 5 Remastered: finish the lottery and garbage collection These two activities do not require collecting every sparkle in their cities. The lottery needs 20 plays. Garbage collection needs S rank. KINEICHO LOTTERY As Shinada, take Draw...
