In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you step into the swashbuckling shoes of Goro Majima, Captain of the Goro Pirates. Your journey across the seas involves recruiting a diverse crew, including the unique characters Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay. Here's how to navigate the waters to bring these two aboard your ship.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, found in Honolulu, is a valuable addition to your crew, boasting higher base stats than many early recruits. However, his recruitment process is more involved, requiring a bit of sailing and some strategic moves.
Start your journey by heading to Madlantis. Once you've docked your ship, make your way to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, home to some of the most entertaining mini-games in *Pirate Yakuza*. Inside, you'll find a UFO Catcher Game with a blue plush called Kraken-Chan, which is crucial for recruiting Surfer Jay. Be aware, though, that Kraken-Chan might not always be available as a prize. If that's the case, speak with the attendant under the tent and request a prize switch-out.
Just like real-life claw machines, securing Kraken-Chan may take multiple tries. Ensure you have enough in-game currency before you start. The trick is to use the claw to nudge the plush until it falls into the collection slot. Once you've won Kraken-Chan, it's time to sail back to Honolulu.
Upon arriving in Honolulu, you can reach Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center by taking a cab, using your street surfer, or simply running. To locate Surfer Jay, check your mini-map for pirate member symbols marked with a bandana and sword. You'll find Jay in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll open up about his personal struggles, particularly his relationship woes.
When the moment is right, present Kraken-Chan to Surfer Jay. This gesture will help resolve his relationship issues and convince him to join the Goro Pirates. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer any standout stats or perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's essential for those aiming to complete their crew roster in *Pirate Yakuza*.
And there you have it—the steps to acquire Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay to your crew in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
