Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Trophy Guide & Roadmap

This trophy is awarded for completing Chapter 1 of the story. In Chapter 1 you are introduced to the story and most of the main and ship combat.

This trophy is awarded for completing Chapter 2 of the story. In Chapter 2 you unlock the majority of the side content and the ability to play all minigames. You will also be introduced to the Devil Flags and Pirate Coliseum activities which you can then work on at any time.

This trophy is awarded for completing Chapter 3 of the story. During Chapter 3 all the remaining substories and the Devils Flag side story are available, so if you wish you can complete everything outside of Madlantis before continuing with the story. You will be required to complete at least the 1 Star Tournament of Captains at the Pirates’ Coliseum if you haven’t already before you can continue the story in Madlantis, as this allows you to enter the Luxury Palace Hotel. You won’t be able to complete all tournaments yet though as one is not available until Chapter 4.

This trophy is awarded for completing Chapter 4 of the story. During this chapter the final Pirates’ Coliseum match becomes available, and you are required to complete at least the Contention Qualifier tournament to challenge Captain Mortimer to progress the story.

This trophy is awarded for completing the final chapter of the story. After the initial scene you’ll be prompted about the point of no return. When you’re ready, speak with Saijima on the Goromaru to start the final part of the story.

You can start purchasing abilities in Chapter 1 of the story. Initial abilities only cost money, but later abilities will cost both money and reputation pts. You can see your current number of abilities obtained under the All heading in the Upgrade Abilities menu. There are a total of 87 possible abilities to purchase, of which you need to purchase 60 to earn all ability trophies.

The Madness Gauge charges slowly on its own, so make sure to buy the abilities that increase the gauge by larger amounts when you do specific actions such as hitting groups of enemies with the cutlass boomerang, and make sure to always use heat actions when available as they increase the gauge a significant amount.

You can see how many times you’ve used dark instruments in the Challenges > Battle menu under the Pirate’s Dirge/Captain’s Dirge/Sea God’s Dirge challenges at the very bottom of the list.

Bounties are unlocked automatically during Chapter 2 when you are prompted to go to the Diamond Head bar. After defeating the first one you unlock the Bounties menu under Goro Pirates which lists the reward, difficulty, and location of each one. They are also marked on the map with a red handcuff symbol, so they are easy to find around Hawaii, Rich Island, Madlantis. There are a total of 86 bounties that become available over the course of the game.

Not all bounties are available and shown in the bounty list immediately when the feature is unlocked, and more will appear as you progress the story. You are prompted with a text message once more bounty targets become available.

Your Pirate Rank is increased by completing Challenges that award Reputation unlocked near the start of Chapter 2 of the story, or by collecting Treasure. You can view all Challenges in the menu under Goro Pirates > Challenges.

Like in “Yakuza: Like a Dragon” and “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth”, you are NOT required to complete all challenges to reach this max Pirate Rank, so you can check through the Challenges list and work on your preferred challenges if you want to rush earning this rank early. While working on other activities and obtaining treasure you will almost certainly reach this without trying, so you don’t need to go out of your way to complete challenges early unless you want to.

Starting in Chapter 2 you can recruit new crew members around Hawaii and Madlantis by interacting with them and completing a request such as giving them an item or beating them in a fight. Crew members around the city are marked on the map along with displaying their recruitment requirement. Some crew members can also be obtained through minigame point exchanges or by completing substories. There are a total of 107 possible crew members to obtain throughout the game.

Crew members available through Scouting have a section in the Tasks menu that lists all possible crew members, their current location, and their scouting requirements. If they currently don’t show info that means they aren’t yet available at the point of the game you are.

Note that if you own the deluxe version of the game or individual DLCs that give crew members these also seem to count toward the totals for these trophies. Your current number of Crew Members is displayed in the Pirate Crew Info in the main pause menu.

Jason and Masaru’s bonds are available as soon as you have access to Noah’s but the remaining three crew members are in Chapter 3 and right at the start of Chapter 4.

The Pirates’ Coliseum is unlocked near the end of Chapter 2, and functions similarly to the Coliseum in “Like a Dragon: Gaiden”. Using your ship and boarding crews you fight against groups of enemies in various fights, with increasing cash rewards the higher the difficulty.

You are required to complete all matches to be able to fight the Amon Pirates, so you will earn these three trophies while working toward that requirement.

Before starting the challenge make sure that you have yourself and your ship fully upgraded. For the ship the Super Laser Cannon, and Energy Cannon are good options. For the Machine Gun if you can craft it the Super Coconut Machine Gun is great, but if not either the highest level Gatling Gun or Frost Machine Gun.

During the ship battle you only fight against Amon’s ship, with it having a total of 10,000 health. Watch for when they fire rockets at the start and boost fast them, then try to focus their stern with your machine guns to stop their movement. You can then quickly get alongside and deal damage with your guns. They fire weapons much more quickly than other ships, so once they are active again watch for attacks and boost out of the way. Watch for if you are set on fire, then switch to deck view and pop smoke to stop them attacking, then shoot a couple rockets before switching back to driving the ship.

The deck fight is against 50 enemies. If you go in with full Madness immediately use the shark attack to thin out some enemies, then try to use the pistol heat attack to clear out some more. Watch out for the other named enemies aside from Amon, as they can gang up on you and take you down very quickly even on Beginner. Amon will use a deck ability early which will cause all enemies to deal area damage around them, which you want to try and block as soon as he performs it. Use your deck ability as soon as it’s available, and try to deal with all the weak enemies so only Amon is left. If you get to this point without getting knocked out he goes down easy as he doesn’t have a huge amount of health on his own.

Amon wants a one-on-one fight now, which you can prepare for before starting. This is a normal fight like other story bosses, so you can take a trip to Hawaii and fill your inventory with healing items before accepting. Save your Madness attack for when he spawns clones, where you then want to use the shark attack as soon as possible to help clear them out. Watch out as he will summon flying knives at the same time which you will need to block. Watch your health at the same time, because if you fail to block them you will take a lot of damage very quickly. He will only summon the clones once so when you can clear them out he is much easier to deal with, but watch for the knives as he will keep summoning them, though he won’t attack you while the knives are out so if the clones are all gone you can just stand and guard against them.

This trophy is awarded after defeating the Devil Flags Members on Rokka Island. This occurs automatically during Chapter 2 of the story and is the introduction to the Devil Flags side story.

After completing the Devil Flags introduction in Chapter 2, you will be able to continue fighting Devil Flags pirates that appear around the maps, shown by a red devil icon on the map. Once you have reached Pirate Rank 2 and acquired at least 70 flags you can challenge the first Devil Flags officer.

After beating the first Devil Flags officer you will need to reach Pirate Rank 3 and acquire at least 130 flags to challenge the second officer.

After beating the second Devil Flags officer you will need to reach Pirate Rank 4 and acquire at least 220 flags to challenge the third officer.

After beating the third Devil Flags officer you will need to reach Pirate Rank 5 and acquire at least 330 flags to challenge the leader.

The Final Heaven area has no treasure or extra Devils Flag fleet to fight, so if you want you can just drive through the area ignoring the other groups of enemy ships. Make sure before you progress past the second lighthouse you have set your crew and ship up with your current strongest options. When you reach the island keeping a full madness gauge is helpful to launch sharks right at the start of the fight to deal with most of the weaker enemies, then you can focus hard on Captain Zeus.

Treasures are unique items you obtain on islands or by finding them in Hawaii, Rich Island, or Madlantis. Most treasures just give money and reputation, but you can also find Rings, and the dark instruments you obtain during the Devil Flags side story count as treasure as well.

To cook all available recipes you will need to reach Chef Lv. 24, purchase the Goro Goro Booze Master ability in the Shared Abilities section of the Upgrade Abilities menu, wait until you have the upgraded Goromaru in Chapter 2 for the Crew-based recipes, and finally return to the Goro Goro Kingdom once you have a number of animals present for the final recipe.

Starting Chapter 2 you can begin to complete substories around Hawaii. Substories typically reward a crew member when completed, so working on them early is helpful to fill out your pirate crew. There are a total of 31 substories, so you are not required to complete all of them for the platinum.
