Follow our Yakuza Kiwami walkthrough for Chapter 3, 'Funeral of Fists.' Learn how to infiltrate Sera's funeral, defeat Yasuda, and overcome Futoshi Shimano.
Walkthrough
- 1Arrive at Sera's funeral. To avoid attracting attention, hold R1/RB to walk and slowly move between patrolling guards.
- 2Head up the main path, turn right down a side road, then left towards the far right door of the main building. A suit will block your entry, stating only staff can enter. Kiryu needs a mourning band.
- 3Head up the stairs and towards the main entrance, approaching the tents. Speak to the man in the east-side tent. Select "Use a Fake Name" and then "Former Dojima Family."
- 4Enter the main door. Speak to the man ahead and to the right to learn he lost his mourning band.
- 5Go back outside and turn right into a small area with two chatting men. Find the lost mourning band on the ground (it will sparkle). The man who lost it will appear.
- 6Return inside and approach the pair on the left to witness a scene where the man who lost the band gets fired.
- 7Go back outside, turn right, and find the man propped against the wall smoking. He will mention he threw his mourning band in the trash.
- 8Go behind the sign-in tent to find a small trash basket with a sparkle. Collect the mourning band.
- 9Return to the man at the side entrance. Yasuda of the Omi Alliance will confront you. Defeat him in combat. Yasuda glows yellow when he heals.
- 10Once Yasuda is defeated, enter the building. Speak to Shinji and follow him inside and around the HQ to the stairs.
- 11Halfway up the stairs, you will find a Weapon Shop. You can purchase base weapons, equipment, and health items here.
- 12Continue following Shinji to a side room. Enter and use first-person view to look at the five portraits on the wall. Press the Confirm button when they zoom in to "Look."
- 13Kazama will enter, and you will speak with him. A fight will ensue.
- 14First, defeat the four men in the room. Beast Style is effective against the couches and can help clear the room quickly.
- 15After defeating the men, you will escape to the main garden. Defeat the group of relatively weak enemies.
- 16To the right, you can find a Toughness ZZ and a Wooden Katana near a shed to the southwest.
- 17Head towards the pond to find a knife thrower. Be cautious as you approach. Two more enemies are on the far side of the pond.
- 18After defeating them, a new group of enemies will appear, including two more knife throwers and several armed individuals.
- 19Head through the walls they broke to find more items. Go right to find another exit.
- 20As you approach the door, you will fight a heavy enemy. A Toughness Emperor is in the northwest corner of the garden, a Toughness ZZ is in the longhouse, and a Staminan XX is behind boxes near the exit door.
- 21Defeat the heavy enemy to proceed to the back entrance area. Head to the metal door on the wall. Grab another Staminan XX near the south door before proceeding.
- 22You are back inside HQ. Fight through the thugs, making your way through the viewing room and out the other side. Collect any items you find.
- 23Follow the objective marker. If you cannot see it, defeat nearby enemies.
- 24Navigate the hallway, go up the stairs, and return to the main entrance.
- 25Defeat the enemies at the main entrance. You will then face Goro Majima in a standard fight.
- 26After defeating Majima, exit the building and defeat the large group of enemies outside.
- 27You will face Futoshi Shimano, the first real boss. He has two health bars and is resilient. Wait for him to attack, then counter with Brawler or Rush style. You can use nearby lanterns for Beast style attacks. Shimano glows purple for his Kiwami move. Defeat him to end the chapter.
Tips
- Use R1/RB to walk slowly and stealthily when avoiding guards at the funeral.
- The Weapon Shop halfway up the stairs inside HQ is a good place to stock up on health items and basic gear before proceeding.
- Beast Style is effective for crowd control against the initial group of enemies inside HQ and in the garden.
- Patience is key when fighting Futoshi Shimano. Wait for his attacks and punish openings rather than being overly aggressive.
- Look for sparkling items on the ground, especially during the mourning band retrieval sequence and in combat areas for health and buffs.
