Introduction and Satisfaction Guide
Learn how to maximize your girl's satisfaction in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune on PS4. Master missions, gifts, and activities to achieve 100% satisfaction and unlock rewards.
Welcome to New Zack Island! This guide focuses on achieving 100% satisfaction for your chosen girl in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune on PlayStation 4. This guide is not for the PS Vita or PC versions.
To 100% the game on PS4, a South Asian account is required for Leifang and Misaki Character Licenses.
The core gameplay loop involves picking a girl, going on a two-week vacation, winning her heart through various activities, buying her swimsuits, and playing a lot of volleyball. This process is then repeated.
After the initial tutorial, focus on increasing your girl's satisfaction. The main 7 missions begin appearing around 25% satisfaction. Satisfaction is a measure of how much a girl is enjoying her time and her confidence in her skills, directly impacting end-of-fortnight rewards.
How to Increase Satisfaction:
- Complete Missions: Missions appear in the top right corner. You can skip undesirable missions (e.g., specific Poker or Beach Flags challenges) by choosing 'Quit Mission' in Owner Mode at the Poolside or in the Hotel at the end of the day. New missions appear after completing an action, gifting, or a new day begins.
- Gifting: Give girls items they like. Refer to the 'Girl Guides' and 'DLC Girl Guides' for preferences.
- Rock Climbing: Yields a high satisfaction rate of 2 Hearts.
- Volleyball: Winning matches grants 3 Hearts, while losing grants 1 Heart. Winning also boosts a girl's confidence.
- Avoid Dislikes: Forcing a girl to do something she dislikes will lower her confidence and make her uncomfortable. Gifting her swimsuits with a heart icon makes her happier.
A girl's confidence is reflected in her portrait's expression and border color. There are four facial expressions indicating her mood, from unhappiness to extreme happiness. The portrait border color also provides a rough estimate of her satisfaction level, ranging from a blue tinge (0-19%) to entirely pinky-red (80-100%).
While exact numbers are debated, five factors boost your girl's score: Satisfaction, Happiness with other girls (friendships, rivalries, gifting, partnering), Excitement (from playing activities), Heart Rating (giving liked items), and Confidence (gained through winning and positive interactions).

Playing Volleyball
Learn the ins and outs of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 volleyball, from serving and attacking to blocking and receiving. Master controls for higher rewards and the Beach Volleyball Master trophy.

Scoring and Rewards
Higher scoring yields higher rewards. A perfect 7-0 win grants approximately 400,000 Zack Dollars. The smaller the point difference, the lower the reward.
You also earn points for performing "Nice" moves, especially with a higher relationship level with your partner:
- NICE Serve (Well-timed Overhand or Jump Serve): 10,000 Zack Dollars
- NICE Spike (Well-timed spike that scores a point): 10,000 Zack Dollars
- NICE Block (Well-timed block that scores a point): 10,000 Zack Dollars
- KNOCK-DOWN (Knocking opponent fully over): 5,000 Zack Dollars (can be combined with Nice Spike if opponent is still down)
Winning a match grants 3 hearts from each teammate, while losing grants 1 heart each.
Opponent Difficulty
Volleyball can be somewhat RNG-dependent. It is recommended to avoid playing against Hard or Extreme Duos, or Hard/Extreme solos in other minigames. Acceptable Duos to play against include:
- Easy + Easy
- Easy + Normal
- Normal + Normal
- Normal + Hard
Teamwork and Friendship
Volleyball requires skill and forethought. In Girl Mode, gifting your teammate items they like increases your friendship level. Higher friendship leads to better teammate synchronization and focus.
Trophy
