In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, players step into the swashbuckling shoes of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you navigate the high seas, recruiting a diverse crew becomes essential. Here's a detailed guide on how to enlist Surfer Jay and secure the elusive Kraken-Chan plush, key elements in building your formidable pirate team.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, a prime recruit located in Honolulu, boasts stats that outshine many early game crew members. Recruiting him, however, involves a bit of sailing and a specific item hunt. The process can be undertaken in any order, but starting with a trip to Madlantis to fetch the crucial item is advisable.
Upon docking at Madlantis, head towards the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, renowned for its engaging mini-games. Inside, you'll find a UFO Catcher Game with a chance to win the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan, which Surfer Jay covets. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, politely ask the attendant to refresh the machine's prizes.
Winning Kraken-Chan can be challenging, mirroring the real-life difficulty of claw machines. Ensure you have sufficient in-game currency before attempting. The trick is to maneuver the claw to nudge the plush into the prize slot. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu aboard the Goromaru.
In Honolulu, make your way to the Anaconda Shopping Center's Tropical Coco. Use the mini-map to locate pirate recruit symbols, which will guide you to Surfer Jay. You'll find him lounging in a garage near his surfboard. Engage him in conversation to learn about his romantic woes, and when the time is right, present him with Kraken-Chan. This gesture will win Surfer Jay over, adding him to your crew with his stats on display.
While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, his recruitment is a must for completionists. His dialogue may not be the clearest, making the quest for Kraken-Chan a bit of a puzzle.
And that's the complete guide on securing Kraken-Chan and recruiting Surfer Jay into your pirate ranks in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
