Chapter 6: The Yakuza Way

Welcome to Chapter 6, where Kiryu's journey takes a significant turn into the deeper, more dangerous currents of the Tojo Clan. This chapter focuses heavily on story progression, but there are opportunities for exploration and side activities before the major confrontations. Be prepared for some intense boss battles and pivotal narrative moments.

Main Story Walkthrough

Meeting the Patriarch

  1. Return to the Tojo Clan Headquarters: After the events of Chapter 5, Kiryu will automatically be directed to the Tojo Clan Headquarters. Follow the objective marker on your map.
  2. Confrontation with Nishikiyama: A cutscene will trigger upon entry, showcasing a tense exchange between Kiryu and Nishikiyama. Pay attention to the dialogue, as it sets the stage for future conflicts.
  3. Audience with Dojima: You'll be led to Dojima's office. This is a critical story sequence where Kiryu learns more about the Empty Lot situation and the internal politics of the Tojo Clan.
  4. The Task Ahead: Dojima will assign Kiryu a new, dangerous task. Before proceeding, ensure you're well-equipped.

Preparation and Side Activities (Optional but Recommended)

Before heading to the next main objective, take some time to upgrade Kiryu and stock up on supplies. The upcoming fights can be challenging.

  • Upgrade Kiryu's Abilities:
    • Visit the Bacchus in the Champion District to train with Bacchus and unlock new abilities for the Brawler style.
    • Head to the Kamurocho Batting Center to practice and potentially earn some quick cash for upgrades.
    • Consider investing in the Rush style's speed and evasion upgrades, as they will be invaluable in the next boss fight.
  • Stock Up on Healing Items:
    • The Poppo (Shichifuku Street) convenience store is a reliable source for Staminan X and Toughness Z.
    • For more potent healing, check the Don Quijote for Staminan Royale or Toughness Emperor.
    • grab a few Energy Drinks to replenish your Heat Gauge during combat.
  • Complete Substories: Several new substories become available in Kamurocho. Completing these can provide valuable experience, money, and unique items. Look for people with speech bubbles over their heads on your map.
  • Real Estate Royale Progress: If you've unlocked the Real Estate Royale, consider managing your properties and collecting earnings. This is a great way to generate passive income for upgrades.

The Empty Lot's Secret

  1. Head to the Empty Lot: Follow the objective marker to the Empty Lot, located in the northern part of Kamurocho.
  2. Investigate the Area: A brief cutscene will play, prompting Kiryu to investigate the area. Walk around the perimeter until another scene triggers.
  3. Encounter with the Dojima Family Thugs: You'll be ambushed by a group of Dojima Family thugs. These are standard enemies, but there will be more of them than usual. Utilize your Brawler style for crowd control or Rush for quick takedowns.
  4. The Mysterious Figure: After defeating the thugs, a mysterious figure will appear, leading to a chase sequence.

Chase Sequence: The Elusive Informant

This chase sequence requires quick reflexes and environmental awareness. The goal is to catch the informant before they escape.

  • Follow the Informant: Keep the informant in your sights. They will often take shortcuts through alleys and over obstacles.
  • QTE Prompts: Be ready for Quick Time Event (QTE) prompts to jump over obstacles, slide under barriers, or perform evasive maneuvers. Missing too many QTEs can result in losing the informant.
  • Environmental Hazards: Watch out for pedestrians and other obstacles that can slow you down. Use the Rush style's quickstep to navigate tight spaces.
  • Final Confrontation: Once you catch the informant, a short cutscene will play, revealing crucial information about the Empty Lot and the Dojima Family's involvement.

The Betrayal and the Boss Battle

  1. Return to the Dojima Family Office: After the chase, Kiryu will be directed back to the Dojima Family office.
  2. The Setup: A shocking revelation awaits Kiryu, leading to a major confrontation.
  3. Boss Battle: Kuze Daisaku (Second Encounter)
    • Style Recommendation: For this fight, the Rush style is highly recommended due to Kuze's aggressive and powerful attacks. Its quick dodges and rapid combos are essential for creating openings.
    • Phase 1: Kuze will primarily use his fists. Focus on dodging his heavy swings and counter-attacking with quick combos. Use Heat Actions when available, especially the environmental ones if you can position him near a wall or object.
    • Phase 2 (Half Health): Kuze will introduce a metal pipe into his arsenal. This increases his reach and damage. Be even more cautious with your dodges. Look for opportunities to disarm him using a Heat Action (e.g., the "Weapon Destruction" Heat Action if you have it unlocked).
    • Healing: Don't be afraid to use your healing items. This is a tough fight, and staying alive is paramount.
    • Strategy: The key is patience. Chip away at his health, prioritize dodging, and capitalize on his recovery frames after his heavy attacks.
  4. Aftermath: A significant cutscene will follow the battle, further solidifying Kiryu's resolve and setting the stage for future chapters.

Congratulations on completing Chapter 6! The stakes are higher than ever, and Kiryu's path is becoming increasingly perilous. Take a moment to save your game and prepare for what lies ahead.
