Completion List

Achieving 100% completion in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name requires dedication across various aspects of Kiryu's (Joryu's) new life. This guide will break down the key categories and provide actionable steps to ensure you don't miss a single objective.

Story Progress

The most fundamental aspect of completion is, naturally, finishing the main narrative. There are 5 Chapters in total. Ensure you play through each one to its conclusion. While the story itself is linear, some side content only unlocks after specific chapters, so prioritize main story progression if you're aiming for a smooth completion run.

  • Chapter 1: Hidden Dragon
  • Chapter 2: The Castle's Secrets
  • Chapter 3: The Price of Freedom
  • Chapter 4: A Brother's Burden
  • Chapter 5: The Man Who Erased His Name

Akame Network Requests

The Akame Network is your primary source for side quests and mini-games in Sotenbori and Isezaki Ijincho. Completing all requests is crucial for 100%.

  • Locate Akame: You'll first encounter Akame in Sotenbori. Her office is a hub for these requests.
  • Accept All Requests: Regularly check the Akame Network menu for new requests. They often involve finding specific items, defeating certain enemies, or participating in mini-games.
  • Item Scavenging: Many requests require finding specific items. Pay close attention to the descriptions and search thoroughly in areas like Sotenbori's back alleys, the Castle's various districts, and Isezaki Ijincho's streets. For example, "Find the Lucky Cat Statues" might require you to locate 5 hidden statues across Sotenbori.
  • Combat Challenges: Some requests will pit you against groups of thugs or specific "boss" enemies. Ensure your abilities are upgraded, especially your Agent Style gadgets, to handle these efficiently.

Coliseum Battles

The Coliseum, located within The Castle, offers a robust combat challenge system that is essential for completion. There are various battle types to master.

  • Unlock All Ranks: Progress through the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Ranks in both the Tournament and Hell Team Rumble modes. Each rank unlocks after achieving a certain number of victories in the preceding rank.
  • Complete All Tournament Types:
    • Tournament: Standard one-on-one fights.
    • Hell Team Rumble: Large-scale team battles. Recruit strong allies from the Akame Network or by defeating them in the arena. Pay attention to team synergy and elemental weaknesses.
    • Special Events: Keep an eye out for limited-time or unique Coliseum events that may appear after certain story milestones or Akame Network progress.
  • Recruit All Fighters: Many unique fighters can be recruited for your Hell Team Rumble squad. Some are found as rewards for Akame Network requests, others by defeating them in the Coliseum, and a few are hidden in the world. For instance, defeating the "Mad Dog of Shimano" in a specific Coliseum match will make him available for recruitment.

Mini-Games

Japan is full of distractions, and Like a Dragon Gaiden is no exception. Mastering all mini-games is a significant part of the completion list.

  • UFO Catcher: Found in arcades in Sotenbori and The Castle. Aim to collect all available prizes. This often requires multiple attempts and precise claw control.
  • Pocket Circuit: Located in Sotenbori. Win all races against various opponents. This involves careful car customization and understanding track layouts. Experiment with different frames, motors, and tires.
  • Darts: Available in bars like Stardust. Achieve specific scores (e.g., 301, 501) and win against all opponents. Practice aiming for the triple 20.
  • Karaoke: Sing all songs and achieve high scores. This is a rhythm-based mini-game.
  • Mahjong: Found in Mahjong parlors. Win a specified number of hands and achieve certain scores. This requires understanding Mahjong rules and strategy.
  • Shogi: Play and win a set number of games. Shogi parlors are available in Sotenbori.
  • Gambling Games: Visit the gambling halls in The Castle. Play and win at games like Poker, Blackjack, and Oicho-kabu. Accumulate a certain amount of winnings for completion.
  • Cabaret Club: Manage and interact with hostesses. Complete all storylines and achieve top ranks with each hostess. This involves choosing correct dialogue options and gifting appropriate items.

Collectibles

Scattered throughout the game world are various items that contribute to your completion.

  • Stray Cats: Find and photograph all stray cats. Akame will often give you hints or requests related to these. They are usually found in less-trafficked areas or on rooftops.
  • Locker Keys: Discover all locker keys to open the corresponding lockers, which contain valuable items and gear. Keys are often found in hidden corners, on ledges, or dropped by enemies.
  • Revelations: Witness all "Revelations" to learn new Heat Actions. These are usually triggered by observing specific events or people in the environment and then taking a picture with your phone.

Character Growth

Maxing out Kiryu's abilities and gear is also part of the completion journey.

  • Ability Upgrades: Fully upgrade all abilities in both the Yakuza Style and Agent Style skill trees. This requires a significant amount of money and Akame Points. Prioritize core combat abilities first, then focus on utility and passive buffs.
  • Gear Collection: Acquire all available gear, including weapons, armor, and accessories. Many are rewards from Akame Network requests, Coliseum battles, or found in lockers. Some rare items can be purchased from specific vendors in The Castle.
