In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, players encounter a pivotal moment where they must halt their campaign progress to enhance their crew and ship. To proceed, you need to raise $10,000 to repair and upgrade the Goromaru. Here's how to quickly amass the necessary funds in *Pirate Yakuza*.
How To Get Funds Fast in Pirate Yakuza
During Chapter 2, Goro and his crew are tasked with entering the Pirate Coliseum in Madlantis, but their current vessel falls short. This initiates a quest to recruit a shipbuilder to enhance the Goromaru and enlist five new crew members to advance the main storyline. While finding the crew is straightforward, gathering $10,000 for the ship's upgrade presents a significant challenge.
Fortunately, *Pirate Yakuza* offers multiple avenues for quick cash accumulation. Although these methods can be demanding, they're essential for players eager to progress swiftly. At this juncture in the story, you can earn money through bounty hunting, treasure hunting on various islands, or by completing jobs in Honolulu.
How To Get Treasure in Pirate Yakuza
Treasures are concealed in Honolulu and on various islands, requiring raids to uncover them. While this method is somewhat time-consuming and necessitates leaving Honolulu, it remains a viable option. However, for those looking to expedite their progress, focusing on bounties might be more efficient, as it allows Goro to engage in solo battles.
How To Get Bounties in Pirate Yakuza
The most direct route to securing the $10,000 is by pursuing bounties in Honolulu. Even smaller bounties can net you around $2,000, with larger ones offering up to $16,000. However, tackling the more significant bounties early on can be daunting due to Goro's limited health and combat capabilities. Unless you're a seasoned *Yakuza* player, it's advisable to start with the less challenging bounties, which reward between $2,000 and $6,000.
When facing bounties, you'll encounter groups of enemies. Utilizing Goro's Sea Dog fighting style for crowd control before switching to the Mad Dog style for the main bounty boss can be effective.
Bounties are easily located on the map, marked by a red handcuff symbol in Honolulu. Approaching these markers will prompt an info screen detailing the bounty's difficulty, the reason for the bounty, and its reward value, helping you gauge the risk and potential reward before engaging.
Combat in bounty missions follows the standard *Pirate Yakuza* mechanics. Depleting the bounty's health, which may range from three to four bars, along with managing any armed minions, is key. Successfully completing a bounty instantly rewards you with thousands of dollars, contributing significantly to your $10,000 goal. By tackling several bounties in Honolulu, you'll soon have enough to upgrade the Goromaru and continue the main storyline.
This strategy, while combat-intensive, is the most efficient way to quickly gather the funds needed to upgrade your ship in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
