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.
