Chapter 13: Crime and Punishment

Welcome to Chapter 13! This chapter sees Kiryu facing intense pressure and a pivotal moment in his journey. Expect a mix of story-heavy sequences, challenging combat, and crucial decisions. Make sure your gear is up to par and you have plenty of healing items.

Part 1: The Tojo Clan's Judgment

The chapter begins with Kiryu being summoned to the Tojo Clan Headquarters. This is a story-driven segment, so sit back and enjoy the cutscenes. You'll witness the fallout from the Empty Lot incident and the political maneuvering within the clan.

  • Objective: Attend the Tojo Clan Meeting.
  • Location: Tojo Clan Headquarters (automatic progression).
  • Key Information: Pay close attention to the dialogue, as it sets the stage for the rest of the chapter and reveals key players' motivations.

Part 2: The Search for Nishikiyama

Following the meeting, Kiryu is tasked with finding Nishikiyama. He's gone missing, and it's up to you to track him down. This involves some legwork and a few encounters.

  • Objective: Locate Nishikiyama.
  • Step 1: Inquire at Serena. Head to Serena on Tenkaichi Street. Speak with Reina. She'll provide a vague lead, suggesting Nishiki might be trying to clear his head.
  • Step 2: Check the Champion District. Based on Reina's hint, make your way to the Champion District. Nishikiyama is often found brooding in bars here.
  • Step 3: Confrontation at the Bar. Enter the bar marked on your map in the Champion District. You'll find Nishikiyama, but your reunion will be interrupted by a group of thugs.
  • Combat Encounter: Thugs in the Bar.
    • Strategy: These are standard street thugs, but they come in a decent number. Utilize Kiryu's Brawler style for crowd control. Environmental objects like chairs and bottles can be effective Heat Actions. Focus on taking down the enemies with weapons first.
    • Recommended Items: Have a few Toughness Light or Staminan X on hand if your health gets low.

Part 3: The Truth Unveiled

After the bar fight, Nishikiyama will open up, revealing more about his struggles and the pressure he's under. This leads to a crucial decision point and a new objective.

  • Objective: Investigate the Dojima Family's movements.
  • Step 1: Gather Information. Head to the Nakamichi Street area. You'll need to speak to various informants. Look for people with speech bubbles over their heads.
    • Informant 1 (Near Mach Bowl): A disgruntled yakuza member will mention seeing Dojima's men around the Pink Street area.
    • Informant 2 (Pink Street North): A hostess will express concern about increased Dojima presence and mention a specific warehouse.
  • Step 2: Locate the Warehouse. The information points to a warehouse located in the northern part of Pink Street, near the docks. Check your map for the marked location.

Part 4: Warehouse Showdown

This is a significant combat sequence. Be prepared for multiple waves of enemies and a mini-boss encounter.

  • Objective: Infiltrate the warehouse and confront the Dojima Family.
  • Location: Warehouse (Pink Street North).
  • Preparation:
    • Healing Items: Stock up on Tauriner ++ and Staminan Royale. You'll need them.
    • Equipment: Ensure Kiryu has his best gear equipped. Consider using the Bulletproof Vest for damage reduction.
    • Styles: Be ready to switch between styles. Brawler is excellent for groups, while Rush can be good for dodging and quick damage against single targets. Beast can be devastating with environmental weapons.
  • Combat Sequence:
    • Wave 1: Dojima Grunts. A group of standard Dojima thugs. Use Brawler to clear them out quickly.
    • Wave 2: Armed Thugs. This wave includes enemies with knives and pipes. Prioritize disarming them or using quick Heat Actions to take them out.
    • Mini-Boss: Dojima Lieutenant. This enemy is tougher than the regular grunts, with a larger health bar and more damaging attacks.
      • Strategy: The Lieutenant often uses powerful charge attacks. Dodge these and counter with Rush style's quick combos. When his guard is down, switch to Brawler or Beast for heavy damage and Heat Actions. Look for opportunities to use environmental Heat Actions.
      • Reward: Defeating him will often drop a valuable item like a Platinum Plate or a large amount of cash.

After the warehouse battle, a crucial cutscene will play, deepening the mystery and setting the stage for the next chapter. Congratulations, you've navigated the complexities of Chapter 13!
