In Like a Dragon: Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, players face a crucial ship upgrade hurdle: $10,000 is needed to repair the Goromaru and continue the main story. This guide provides quick methods to amass the necessary funds.
Chapter 2 introduces the Pirate Coliseum challenge in Madlantis, requiring a ship upgrade. While recruiting crew is straightforward, the $10,000 repair cost presents a significant obstacle. Fortunately, several strategies expedite wealth acquisition.
Treasure Hunting:
Treasure chests scattered across Honolulu and various islands offer a steady income stream. However, this method is time-consuming and requires venturing beyond Honolulu.
Bounty Hunting: The Fastest Route
Honolulu's bounty system provides the quickest path to $10,000. Smaller bounties yield around $2,000, while larger ones offer up to $16,000. However, tackling high-value bounties early in the game presents a significant challenge due to Goro's limited combat capabilities.
A balanced approach involves targeting lower-difficulty bounties ($2,000-$6,000). Utilize Goro's Sea Dog style for crowd control and switch to Mad Dog for boss encounters.
Bounties are easily identified on the map by a red handcuff icon. Selecting a bounty reveals its difficulty, reward, and background.
Successfully completing bounties grants thousands of dollars, rapidly accumulating the funds needed for the Goromaru upgrade. While combat-intensive, this strategy ensures swift progression through the story.
