Yokohama yakuza substories
While there are dozens of substories in Yakuza 0 to enjoy, some are missable. This is one of those substories. Iroha has opened up a gambling area for you to visit. In order to access this area, you must have a level 4 Confidence stat. Once you have this stat, you will see a screen that says “Chau Distribution.” You can go there to gain some confidence.
During Chapter 9, you’ll come across two safes with people inside. The first is near the river and you have to approach the group of men to open it. Pressing the button twice will give you the Confidence stat boost. You’ll have to complete this substory to advance to the next chapter. The other two are located in the same area and can be found by completing them in order.
The second substory is located near Fukotoku Bridge. You’ll have to spy on Ichiban’s son while he’s talking to him. To complete this substory, you’ll have to fight off enemies. In another substory, you’ll have to date a girl near North Jinnai Station and win a stuffed toy.
Yokohama yakuza 3 substories
The substories in Yokohama Yakuza 3 are not always labelled as such, but there are a few that you must complete in order to proceed with the main story. In addition to the main story, there are premium adventures which can be completed after the main story. Some of these require you to have certain levels of Kasuga’s Personality, while others are simply optional. While all the substories are set in Yokohama, they begin in different chapters, and you can only complete the substories after traveling back to those chapters.
The Substory in Yokohama focuses on the character of Kiryu in his post-yakuza life. It follows him escorting Rikiya through Asia, where he recognizes the dancer as his childhood friend Natsumi. She then helps Kiryu protect him from his stalker and gets entangled in a number of fights in Kamurocho. After all, Kiryu has a soft side and is a wonderful father to the kids he has adopted.
In order to complete the relationship substory, players must complete the substories 14 – 51. These two substories require you to meet three enemies, but completing them will boost Kasuga’s Kindness stat. Once you’ve met each of these three opponents, you’ll need to meet the man sitting east of Sunlight Palace. You can talk to him to get a chance to solve the mystery.
Yokohama yakuza 0 substories
Some of the Yokohama yakuza o substories are missable, and some are not. To start off, you will have to go to the Kazama Family Office and lay low. If you miss the Can Quest, it will give you a temporary boost in your defense stat. However, you can complete it by simply going to the second floor of Survive and gathering all the cans.
The second substory starts with a reporter talking to six level 15 enemies. When you are talking to these enemies, you’ll be rewarded with a new accessory called Old Fountain Pen. After defeating the enemy, you’ll also get a chance to meet Hanayama and Anzai. Once you beat them both, you’ll be awarded a Medal of Honor.
Another substory focuses on Kazuma Kiryu’s quest to get the coveted Omlette. You can purchase the Omlette from him by completing a tutorial and getting the Omlette to use in Poundmates. The substory also introduces business management activities. The crawfish interaction is automatically performed when Kasuga throws it into the river. The old man explains why the crawfish had sentimental value, and Kasuga agrees to live for the crawfish.
