Quick Links
A truly great pirate game is packed with opportunities to make money while exploring the high seas, and Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii delivers on that expectation. Although there are various methods to earn cash, some approaches yield higher rewards, particularly if you’re a fan of the game’s unique combat system.
Even though Majima might have lost his memories, his keen intellect and strength are still at your disposal. By Chapter Three, you’ll have access to numerous lucrative methods, giving you plenty of chances to rake in some treasure.
Using Your Chain Hook for Hunting
After you unlock the Chain Hook by talking to Julie at Julie’s Gearworks during Chapter Two, you’ll gain access to various new locations scattered across Hawaii.
Additionally, you’ll be able to catch bugs and fish, making the Chain Hook versatile for treasure hunting and other activities.
This method allows for a more passive way to accumulate cash as you explore different locations. Make an effort to look for the glowing blue hooks, often found on the upper floors of buildings in Honolulu.
Within these hidden spots, such as the one atop Dunghill, you’ll discover treasure chests filled with rare items that offer money, pirate reputation points, and progress towards completing your Treasure Treasury.
This money-making strategy is ideal for those who prefer enjoying the scenery without delving deeply into combat during their treasure-hunting adventures.
Treasure Islands
If you’re keen on discovering treasure-filled chests that yield rare items but prefer to earn your riches with a bit of combat, then searching for treasure islands marked with chest icons on your map is an excellent option.
This is essentially the first top-tier money-making method you’ll encounter early in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Be warned: the harder islands present some of the toughest combat challenges you’ll face in the game.
After defeating the boss at each Treasure Island, Majima opens a chest filled with rare treasures to add to your collection, alongside cash and reputation, similar to what you get from exploration chests.
Before tackling the most challenging islands, you should invest in upgrading Majima’s skills or at least recruit some of the toughest crew members for support.
Bounties and Pirate Rewards
Bounties are a fantastic way to make quick cash in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, especially if you spend some time upgrading Majima and refining your combat skills.
While bounties become easier with upgrades, you can take on many of the Most Wanted bounties as soon as you gain access to them.
Lopez, the first challenging bounty located just outside the Diamondhead bar, has a $16,000 reward, which is quite significant, particularly in the early game.
If you prefer naval battles over land encounters, Pirate Bounties marked with a skull icon on your map are an excellent option.
These bounties yield greater rewards than the Most Wanted bounties, and defeating certain boss ships can lead to treasure chests with valuables worth close to $100,000.
Pirates’ Coliseum
Bounties are great, but there’s nothing quite like the convenience of making money at the Pirates’ Coliseum. You’ll find three types of matches in Madlantis’ coliseum:
- Quick Clash
- Madlantis Mania
- Tournament Of Captains
Each match offers progressively better rewards as you ascend the pirate ranks, and your earnings will increase if you complete challenges within specific time limits.
Whether you enjoy the deck battles of Madlantis Mania or the combination of cannon and deck combat found in Quick Clash and the Tournament of Captains, competing in the Pirates’ Coliseum is the best way to farm money in Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii.
