Yakuza Kiwami 2: What to Do on the Side in the Majima Saga There isn't a second set of substories or locker keys hiding in Majima's campaign. The useful side content is mostly about fighting the street bosses, picking up valuables, and send...

Yakuza Kiwami 2: Finishing the Majima Saga This one works differently from Kiryu's campaign, so I want to get that out of the way before getting into the actual route. Majima doesn't earn experience, buy skills, increase his health bar, or...

Yakuza Kiwami 2: The Majima Saga Full spoilers for Yakuza 0 and the Majima Saga below. Before moving on from Kiwami 2, I want to cover the Majima Saga separately. This is its own little campaign, and there are two different things going on...

Yakuza Kiwami: A Practical Route to 40 Different Heat Actions All right, if your Heat Action total keeps going up but the number of different moves barely changes, this is the guide for you. Kiwami wants you to use Heat Actions 300 times an...

Kiwami 2 has some very expensive weapons, but you don't need to buy every one of them to finish the equipment requirements. And you don't need to spend millions finding out that the item you equipped is quietly making the game harder. So th...

Let's talk about money, food, and experience in Yakuza Kiwami 2, because this is where a completion run can turn into a lot of unnecessary shopping. You need money for meals, appetite medicine, equipment, and the businesses. You need five d...

Yakuza Kiwami: Restaurants, Rare Enemies, and Finishing the Completion List All right, let's talk about the little things that can keep Kiwami sitting at 99 percent. You can beat the story, finish the big minigames, and still have a list fu...

Next is the Gravure Photo Studio in Yakuza Kiwami 2. This one is mostly about reading the whole sentence before you start pressing buttons. Getting the first fragment right doesn’t help if the next two turn it into something that makes no s...

Yakuza Kiwami 2 gives Kiryu some ridiculous fights. Men with swords, a man who refuses to stay down, two actual tigers, and Ryuji Goda waiting to settle the question of which dragon is still standing. But getting through those fights is a l...

Yakuza Kiwami: Story Bosses and the Fights That Can Stop Your Run All right, let's go through Kiwami's story fights properly. Not just “get Tiger Drop” and leave somebody in Chapter 3 wondering how that is supposed to help them right now. S...

All right, let's get through golf in Yakuza Kiwami 2, because this one connects to more than just the minigame checklist. There's Albatross Akagi's substory, two combat books, and Haruka's request to clear the entire bingo board. If you're...

Yakuza Kiwami: 100 Weapons, 70 Gear Items, and How to Pay for All of It All right, let's deal with the collection requirement that can turn the end of Kiwami into a shopping trip you cannot afford. The Completion List wants 100 different we...

The Majima Saga in Yakuza Kiwami 2 is short, but I wouldn't treat it like something to rush through just because it isn't Kiryu's main story. If you're coming from Yakuza 0, there's a reason to spend some time here. It fills in part of Maji...

The gambling games in Yakuza Kiwami 2 have two different jobs attached to them. There's the Completion List, where you can build up winnings over time, and then there are Haruka's requests, where she wants a particular result from the game...

Yakuza Kiwami: Gambling and Cheat Items All right, let's deal with the gambling tables, because Kiwami gives you some very useful cheat items and then leaves you to figure out when using them is actually worthwhile. I would not sell those i...

Mahjong is one of those things in Yakuza Kiwami 2 that can look a lot worse than it is when the game hands you a board full of tiles and assumes you already know what you're doing. You don't need to memorize every scoring combination to fin...

Yakuza Kiwami: Mahjong, every completion requirement and how to actually win All right, next is mahjong. This is the one where “just keep playing until you get lucky” is not much of a guide. Luck matters, but knowing why a hand can win, whe...

Yakuza Kiwami 2 will let you go from a serious crime story to fighting giant robots, singing karaoke, and playing a game controlled by how badly Kiryu needs to use the bathroom. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I do want to separate wh...

Yakuza Kiwami: The Minigame Guide All right, let's get into the smaller minigames in Kiwami, because these are the things that can leave you staring at a nearly finished completion list long after the story is over. A lot of the frustration...

The batting center in Yakuza Kiwami 2 gets a lot easier once you stop treating every pitch like a surprise. Most of the courses have fixed locations, and the Serene Bat gives you more room to get the timing right. Darts has a similar proble...
