Learn how to unlock the Whip-Splash trophy in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. This guide covers using the Spider gadget and positioning for the achievement.
Alright, let's get this Whip-Splash Trophy sorted! It sounds a bit tricky, but once you know the trick, it's pretty straightforward. First things first, you'll need the Spider gadget. Good news is, it's the very first gadget you get in the game, so you should have it right from the start. Just remember, you can only use this bad boy when you're in Agent style. Joryu's Yakuza style won't cut it for this one.
Once you're in a fight and rocking Agent style, just hold down the Circle/B button. That's your wire attack! Keep holding it, and you can use the left analog stick to fling your enemy around. They'll take a bit of damage from the impact, which is a nice bonus.
- 1Find the River: Your main goal is to yeet an enemy into the river. The river runs right through the middle of Sotenbori, between Bishamon Bridge and Iwao Bridge.
- 2Position Yourself: The best spots to get this done are the footpaths on the southern or northern sides of the river. These give you way more room than trying to do it from the bridges themselves.
- 3Engage Enemies: You'll need some foes to practice on. Random enemy encounters are perfect for this, as they're usually pretty easy to handle. Just wander around until you trigger a fight.
- 4Set Up the Toss: Once you're in combat, you want to get your back right to the river. Have the enemy facing you, directly across. This positioning is key!
- 5Execute the Whip-Splash: With your back to the river and the enemy in front of you, hold down Circle/B to use the Spider gadget. Flick the left analog stick in the direction you want to throw them – straight over your head is the way to go here.
- 6Upgrade Bonus: Quick heads-up: if you've upgraded the Spider gadget in your abilities, Kiryu will actually throw out more wires, making the toss a bit easier.
- Positioning is Everything: Seriously, this is the most important part. Trying to toss enemies to the sides just doesn't seem to give them enough height to clear the railings and land in the river. You really need to be throwing them straight over your head.
- Agent Style Only: Don't forget, this only works in Agent style!
- River Location: Stick to the footpaths near the river for the best results.
As soon as you successfully launch an enemy into the river using the Spider gadget, you'll unlock the Whip-Splash trophy/achievement!
