Yakuza Kiwami 2 Guide

Yakuza Kiwami 2 Completionist Guide : 100% Achievements for Yakuza Kiwami 2

Yakuza Kiwami 2 Completionist Guide : 100% Achievements

Overview

A guide on obtaining every achievements available in the game. There is no missable achievement, so rest assured. (Spoiler Free).

Prologue

Welcome to my Yakuza Kiwami 2 Completionist Guide

I started getting into the Yakuza franchise with 0 back when it was discounted at steam’s golden week sale and got hooked into it really bad, so it was inevitable to continue my journey with Kiwami and Kiwami 2. I hope to continue it with the release of 3-6. I never perfected the previous games before this, only getting close with 50 achievement each but I loved this one too much (imo the best out of the current three that are available on steam) to passed it up and luckily this one had the easiest achievement to get through.

This guide was made because I didn’t have one when attempting this and had to combine many different sites to help me along my way, so I hope this guide will be of use to people that wants to perfect this or if you just want to have a high achievement rate in your profile showcase. Big shoutout to Mr. Yakuza himself CyricZ from gamefaqs and Gamers Heroes for helping on a couple of things in this guide.

Some things to note before proceeding with the guide :

  • I will not be fully going in detail for the substories and completion list and will only be covering one’s that I consider to be pretty tricky or hard. The reason is I don’t want to spoil anything or dictate how you play the game that much.
  • You will need to finish the game twice to get all of the achievements. Once on any difficulty you like, and once more on legend. I suggest doing a NG+ for legend and not a regular new game so that your weapons, stats, gear, money and inventory carry over and make it a cakewalk.
  • Completion list progress carry over as you start NG+, with Clan Creator story progress
    Cabaret Club story progress, and Substories being the exception. So if you’re having trouble with mahjong and want more peerless tiles you can start NG+ (note : Doing this is only helpful for the tables and tournaments, so you still have to grind out tsumo and ron requirements regardless)

Extra Note : i’m not a native English speaker, so if there is a mistake or mispronounciation I will apologize beforehand.

You will obtained all of this naturally as you progress through the main story, so this section can essentially be ignored. After beating the main story you can go through majima saga to get the achievement there and see what majima is up to before the events of the main story.

Completion List : Adventure I

Completion list are tracked in six categories, which is : adventure, battle, substories, minigames, clan creator, and cabaret club. You will get most of them naturally and you’ll receive notifications in progress on some and every time you complete one. Don’t worry the completion list in Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the easiest in the yakuza games that’s currently on steam.

Note that for certain list, such as energy drinks, food bonuses, weapons, and gear, you can see a list of what’s available and I suggest doing the gambling minigames later until you get to spend time with Haruka to do her request. Clan creator and cabaret club completion list will be in their own sections.

  • Talk to people 10 times
  • Talk to people 30 times
  • Talk to people 50 times

You will get this naturally since it is connected to almost everything you do in the game. If somehow you still didn’t get this, you can increase it by talking to literally anyone, including shopkeepers, people on the street, etc.

  • Eat 5 food items
  • Eat 15 food items
  • Eat 30 food items
  • Get 1 food bonuses
  • Get 5 food bonuses
  • Get 10 food bonuses
  • Use 5 medicine items
  • Use 15 medicine items
  • Use 30 medicine items

Food items are the actual items that go into your inventory that you have to use to eat. Restaurants don’t count toward this, same with medicine items. Food bonuses is a new thing they introduced in this game. Basically food not only heals you but nets you experience as well and there is nothing that stops you from ordering multiple things in one sitting, in fact if you manage to get the right combination of food it will give you food bonuses where you get extra experience.

  • Travel by taxi 5 times
  • Travel by taxi 10 times
  • Travel by taxi 20 times
  • Travel 10 km on foot
  • Travel 50 km on foot
  • Travel 100 km on foot

Self explanatory, the thing to note here is that the travel on foot completion doesn’t differentiate between walking and dashing like the previous games so that is a plus. While for the taxi one just simply travel with them.

  • Earn a total of 1,000 EXP
  • Earn a total of 10,000 EXP
  • Earn a total of 100,000 EXP
  • Earn a total of 200,000 yen
  • Earn a total of 500,000 yen
  • Earn a total of 1,000,000 yen
  • Earn a total of 5,000,000 yen
  • Earn a total of 10,000,000 yen

You get exp from a lot of things, such as consuming food from restaurants, food items, medicine items, battle, and also doing your completion list, while for money the most reliable way to get them is from cabaret club.

  • Drink 10 different vending machine drinks

  • Defeat 100 enemies on the street
  • Defeat 150 enemies on the street
  • Defeat 1 street boss
  • Defeat 5 street bosses
  • Defeat 10 street bosses

Street bosses is a new mechanic introduced in this game and is tied with regular enemies you defeat in the streets. There is an achievement tied to this, look in the miscellaneous section for more info.

  • Activate Extreme Heat Mode 10 times
  • Activate Extreme Heat Mode 30 times
  • Activate Extreme Heat Mode 50 times

Extreme Heat Mode is a mechanic that is newly introduced in this game similar with extreme mode in Kiwami. This skill can be obtained in a substory and then bought in the battle skills. The heat bar needs to be full to activate it.

  • Destroy 10 objects during battles
  • Destroy 30 objects during battles
  • Destroy 50 objects during battles

There is a lot of breakable objects in this game whether that is indoors or outdoors. You don’t need to mind this as you will naturally get it.

  • Use weapons to defeat 10 enemies
  • Use weapons to defeat 30 enemies
  • Use weapons to defeat 50 enemies
  • Use weapons to defeat 100 enemies
  • Use weapons to defeat 150 enemies

There is a lot of weapons to use in Kiwami 2. You can buy one, pick one from enemies or from your surroundings like bikes and advertisement signs.

  • Defeat 1 Nouveau Riche enemy
  • Defeat 5 Nouveau Riche enemies
  • Defeat 10 Nouveau Riche enemies

In order for Nouveau Riche man to appear in the streets, you need to get the skills from the life skills tab to allow them to appear.

  • Use Heat Actions 10 times
  • Use Heat Actions 30 times
  • Use Heat Actions 50 times
  • Use different Heat Actions 10 times
  • Use different Heat Actions 20 times
  • Use different Heat Actions 30 times

Thankfully, you don’t have to complete all heat actions in order to get these points. Most of the unique heat moves are very situational and you can go the entire game without even seeing all of them. A lot of them are the result of equipping different weapons, unlocking skills, and using environmental items.

  • Obtain 10 different weapon types
  • Obtain 20 different weapon types
  • Obtain 30 different weapon types
  • Obtain 10 different gear types
  • Obtain 20 different gear types
  • Obtain 30 different gear types

There is a lot of weapons and gear in Kiwami 2, so getting these done is relatively easy. (note: there is certain combinations you can use for your gear that will give you bonus stats)

  • Win 10 Coliseum battles
  • Win 20 Coliseum battles
  • Win 30 Coliseum battles
  • Complete 5 bouncer missions
  • Complete 10 bouncer missions
  • Complete 20 bouncer missions

Bouncer missions are new to this game and are unlocked by doing one of the substories. There is also an achievement tied to it, look in the miscellaneous section for more info.

  • Learn 5 skills
  • Learn 10 skills
  • Learn 20 skills
  • Learn 50 skills
  • Complete the Battle Completion List

Self explanatory. But for more in depth look into acquiring skills go to the respective section for more info.

Completion List : Minigames

  • Entertain yourself 5 times
  • Entertain yourself 10 times
  • Entertain yourself 20 times
  • Entertain yourself 30 times

This just means you need to play minigames for 30 times. This can easily be achieved since you will need to play a lot of them to get some of the completion list in here.

  • Score over 90 points at karaoke 1 time
  • Score over 90 points at karaoke 3 times
  • Score over 90 points at karaoke 5 times

Arguably the most iconic and the most fun minigame in Yakuza’s franchise. I would say the karaoke in Kiwami 2 is a bit more difficult than the previous game’s because of the new layout and some songs is fast paced, but generally speaking this mini-game should be doable for players of all skill levels with enough attempts.

  • Win 1 item from UFO catcher
  • Win 5 items from UFO catcher
  • Win 10 items from UFO catcher

A refreshing take on this completion list for the UFO catcher is that you no longer need to catch different items, you can just catch one item that you find easy over and over again. There is one inconvenience though, which lies in the fact that you will often be unable to adjust the camera to look at the machine from a side way angle.

  • Watch 1 video
  • Watch 8 videos
  • Watch 15 videos

There is an achievement tied to this so i suggest looking up the miscellaneous section for more info on this one.

  • Do a photo shoot with Hikaru Aoyama
  • Do a photo shoot with Rina Hashimoto
  • Earn Hikaru Aoyama’s reward
  • Earn Rina Hashimoto’s reward

You will unlocked this minigame as you wander around Kamarucho. It is really similar to the telephone club back in Yakuza 0, so essentially you will need to form coherent sentences from the pieces you’re given. Forming a successful sentence will cause the heart meter at the top left to rise. Once the heart is maxed out you’re welcome to stop trying as nothing you do from here will impact the end result anymore. To earn Hikaru Aoyama and Rina Hashimoto’s reward you have to do all of their photoshoots with their different outfits.

  • Earn 1000 chips in Poker
  • Earn 1000 chips in Blackjack
  • Earn 1000 wooden tags in Koi-koi
  • Earn 1000 wooden tags in Oicho-kabu
  • Win a Shogi match with no Take Backs

I suggest reserving these one until you get to do it with haruka, that way you can essentially kill two birds with one stone. Dont worry too much on these because there is a lot of cheat items scattered around Sotenbori and Kamarucho. I will provide a video for the shogi requirements, since you don’t have a cheat item for this.

  • Complete all Beginner Challenge Courses
  • Complete all Intermediate Challenge Courses
  • Complete all Advanced Challenge Courses
  • Hit 10 home runs in the Home Run Course
  • Hit 30 home runs in the Home Run Course
  • Hit 50 home runs in the Home Run Course

The first thing you’ll want to do is to grab the Serene Bat for 300 points from Manager Yoshida. Using this bat will make balls easier to hit and make the timing window on home runs more lenient on top of that.

  • Play all darts styles
  • Defeat all rivals in darts
  • Win 10 darts matches
  • Get 3 hat tricks in darts
  • Get 5 hat tricks in darts

There’s 3 styles of darts: 01, Cricket, and Count-Up and there’s also 4 rivals: Easy, Medium, Hard and Legend. All 4 rivals are available at both Club SEGA Theater Square in Kamurocho as well as Stijl in Sotenbori. If you can’t find a specific rival, make sure you’ve beaten the previous one.

  • Win all mahjong tables and tournaments
  • Go out with ron or tsumo 5 times
  • Go out with ron or tsumo 10 times
  • Go out with ron or tsumo 30 times
  • Earn 100,000 points in mahjong

There is three peerless tiles (mahjong cheat item) in one playthrough. save one for the mahjong substory and the rest can be used in the tournaments (don’t make the mistake i did by using them in the easy tables, trust me it will save you the time). Location of peerles tiles :

  • One floor below Lullaby Mahjong, in an office in the corner behind a shelf full of cardboard boxes
  • In the Sotenbori gambling den at the south part of the map. Go up two floors in this building, you’ll find the tile at the end of a hallway
  • The last tile is given to you by Komaki after finishing Substory #31, which becomes available in chapter 5. You’ll have to fight him without items, weapons or heat actions.

I will also provide video about mahjong (learning by seeing someone else do it is way easier than learning from text)

  • Earn 300 points in Closest to the Pin (Beginner)
  • Earn 300 points in Closest to the Pin (Intermediate)
  • Earn 300 points in Closest to the Pin (Advanced)
  • Sink the ball in Closest to the Pin
  • Get 3 Bingos in the Bingo Challenge

The biggest key to success in this mini-game is to get the timing for a perfectly accurate shot down. On top of that it becomes more and more important on higher difficulties to figure out how the wind (see top right) affects your swing. I suggest reserving the bingo challenge until Haruka request it.

  • Clear Milky Nose: Easy
  • Clear Milky Nose: Normal
  • Clear Milky Nose: Hard
  • Clear The North Wind and the Sun… and Me: Easy
  • Clear The North Wind and the Sun… and Me: Normal
  • Clear The North Wind and the Sun… and Me: Hard

Also a new minigame in Yakuza Kiwami 2. For Milky Nose, all you need to do is match your stream force with that of your opponent, while for The North Wind and the Sun you just need to hold all the way to max. There is an issue with the framerate and framepacing with this specific minigame that makes it harder if you have more than 30 fps. My suggestion is to lock it to 30 or download the patch that someone made in Kiwami 2 community hub.

  • Play as all virtuaroids in Virtual-On
  • Play as all characters in Virtua Fighter 2
  • Complete the Minigames Completion List

Simple enough to do. You don’t need to win the game with all characters, you just need to play with them.

Just Getting Started

Completed 10 items on the Completion List.

Making Progress

Completed 30 items on the Completion List.

Maybe You Can Do It

Completed 50 items on the Completion List.

All Done

Completed 100% of the Completion List.

Stats & Abillities

Same with Kiwami 1 but slightly different. You still get exp from fights, minigames, eating and drinking, finishing substories, doing completion list gives you exp now instead of cp points. There is different types of exp for battle, heat action, and life skills. I found that you don’t need to grind to get everything.

These are the different types of experiences :
• Red – Strength
• Blue – Agility
• Yellow – Spirit
• Green – Technique
• Purple – Charm

Here are the base stats as follows :
• Health – Increases your maximum health.
• Attack – Increases your attack damage.
• Defense – Decreases your damage lost.
• Heat Gauge – Improves your maximum Heat Gauge.

(note : I suggest getting the exp boost, hunger gauge, and digestion skills as fast as possible from the life skills). If you are still lacking on exp, I suggest stocking up on AppStim RX. These items decrease your hunger gauge after eating. After that, you can eat at a restaurant and use the AppStims to decrease your hunger meter when it’s full. The only thing keeping you from continuously gaining experience will be your patience and your cash flow.

Heat of the Dragon

Raised the heat gauge to a natural 180.
Your four base stats can be improved by applying increasing amounts of experience to each. You’ll first fill ten markers at the same amount of experience per increase, then buy the “Limit Level” upgrade to reset the bar down to zero and apply ten more at a greater amount. Each increase adds two points to that stat. Do this all the way to get to 180 and the achievement is yours.

Vitality of the Dragon

Raised defense to a natural 180.
Same with the above.

Strength of the Dragon

Raised Attack to a natural 180.
Same with the above.

Life of the Dragon

Raised Health to a natural 180.
Same with the above.

Limit Breaker

Broke the limit on a base stat.
Once you’ve increase your stats all the way to 200 on every single base stats, then you can buy the “Limit Break” upgrades to increase through the final level. At that point, each upgrade will increase the stat by ten points.

Peak Kiryu

Raised all base stats to their maximums.
Increase your stats all the way to 300 after you’ve done the limit break.

Cabaret Club I

A return of cabaret from Yakuza 0. You’re going to be introduced to this substory-esque thing through doing the main story. All of the stuff in the completion list are pretty easy and will mostly unlock naturally and here is where you will be farming money in Kiwami 2. If you have played Yakuza 0 before then you will feel at home, however there are several new things introduced in here.

New Mechanics

Scouting Hostesses
Scouting is basically the equivalent to gacha games, where you spend money to get various rank or rarities of girls and sometimes you have the chance to not get anything. Important to keep in note is that the price increase after everytime you scout so make a save beforehand just in case you dont get anything.

Hostess Potentials
These are positive and negative passive abilities that activate automatically once the hostess is on shift. New potentials can be learned as the hostess levels up while negative ones may even disappear as they become more experienced in your operations. A hostess can only have up to two potentials. Positive potentials are colored pink while negative ones are colored blue.

  • Escorted: Automatically starts off with a customer as soon as you open the club
  • Relaxed: HP recovers faster when not attending a customer
  • Spoiled: Higher chance to trigger support and trouble events.
  • Serene: Immune to trouble events
  • Feisty: Higher chance to trigger trouble events

I have found that these doesn’t affect gameplay too much so don’t worry on it.

Oil Barons
An oil baron may appear near the end of the night. Pleasing the oil baron (how easy you can deplete his meter) will depend on the overall stats of all hostesses you have on shift. The oil baron gives a massive sales boost if appeased.

Here are the completion list for Cabaret Club :

Cabaret Club II

A New Champion is Born!

Won first league championship in the Cabaret Club Grand Prix.
Will be obtained naturally in the cabaret story.

Be True to Yourself

Lent an ear to all the platinum hostesses.
Train all of your platinum hostesses by going on a date with them. You can go on a date with the hostesses when there is a pink champagne logo above their heads. There is a substory tied to all of the hostesses so make sure to always go on a date with them. If the logo doesn’t appear that means your hostesses hasn’t reached the specific level for it to appear.

Legends of the Nightlife

Completed the “Four Shine” storyline.
Complete the main story for Four Shine.

Hostesses Makeover Help

Here is my platinum hostesses makeover if you’re having trouble getting them :

Koyuki

Kana

Shoko

Kirara

Clan Creator I

Same with cabaret club you will go through this in the main story. This will be a tower defense type of minigame with majima, where you have to position your fighters to defend the equipment/ units of Majima Construction. There are stages where you only need to defend one equipment, while some stages can have up to two.

General Info & Tips

Info

  • Rank – Very obvious as it’s the main component of the card, each character card denotes the rank of your employee. From Common (C), to Rare (R), to Super Rare (SR), to Super Super Rare (SSR). Note that SSR cards are only available as DLC, and buying and using them will make your efforts in this minigame a lot simpler. In general, higher ranked employees are, quite simply, better.
  • Type – There’s a little icon next to each character’s portrait denoting their general use in battle:
    • Attack – Marked by a sword, these are guys who are meant to pound on the enemy hard before they know what’s what. They will tend to have a high Attack stat, but low on the others.
    • Defense – Marked by a shield, these are guys who can take hits and keep on going. They’ll tend to have either high Defense, high Health, or both.
    • Balanced – Marked by a sword and shield, these are guys who typically have good stats across the board. A jack of all trades so to speak.
    • Support – Marked by a gun, these are guys with pistols, grenades, or rocket launchers. Some kind of projectile weapon. They tend to be slower to attack, but they can hit at a considerable range.

Tips

  • Training your party will require President’s Awards exclusively and more will be required as an employee levels up. Since it will take some time, consider your main team and add in to them later when you get better party. ( i suggest only train your R and SR don’t bother with C)
  • Send your best fighters against bosses and keep an eye on them. Raise their spirits to heal them up if they’re low HP or use a healing skill. Save raising the spirits of specific characters when they’re halfway down their HP, because it will cost a lot of money as the level goes higher
  • Bring at least 1 ranged attackers in your party. Doctor, a R character has a grenade launcher and healing skill, making him a very good addition to your party.
  • Make sure you have at least 2 defense character in your party to guard your equipment. If you use any other type they usually runs off when there is an enemy, leaving your equipment open to attacks.

Here are the completion list for Clan creator :

Note : For the Coliseum requirements you have to beat them at a tournament first then you can recruit them at the tournament entrance, for the street bossess you need to defeat them first then you can recruit from the place you meet and beat them at, and for the substory you need to finish them first then they will appear across Sotenbori and Kamarucho.

Majima Construction Foreman

Possessed over 200,000 points in Clan Creator.
This will probably not come naturally. There is an easy way to get this, you need to recruit Kazuchika Okada (SR) from sending recruitment flyer, to use his essence of rainmaker skill before you pick up money on the ground. Do it on mission 11 and above to get more than 200.000 points easily.

Let’s Build Some Hills

Completed the “Clan Creator” storyline.
Complete all of the main missions for clan creator storyline. You don’t need to do the substory mission on clan creator.

Substories

There is no more trouble finder gear in Kiwami 2 but there is a skill that let you find substories so get that one as quick as possible.

(note : Golf substory will unlocked once you beat the intermediate difficulty in the closest to the pin challenge, and batting substory will be unlocked once you beat the first three beginner batting challenges). Below are the location for the substories in Kamarucho and Sotenbori (i will only be listing the time when the substories becomes available, since i want it to be spoiler free).

Tell Me a Story

Completed 10 substories.
Self explanatory.

Hero of the Story

Completed 30 substories.
Self explanatory.

Amon Defeated

Completed the “Ultimate Assassin” sub-story.
There will be several amon’s that you need to face and you will get this achievement beating the last one.

Story of My Life

Completed all sub-stories.
Simply Complete them all.

There is a couple of substory that i found hard and its involving golf which will be unlocked once you’ve finished the intermediate difficulty on the Closest to the Pin challenges, substory involving batting once you’ve beaten all three beginner challenges on home run course, and a mahjong substory (save one peerless tile for this). Here is a guide for the golf substory :

Misc I

These are the achievement that didn’t quite fit the other sections.

Weapon Master

Defeated 100 enemies using weapons.
Simply defeat 100 enemies using weapons. This will be easily done since they put a lot of emphasis on weapons in Kiwami 2. (note : you can pick up weapons from the ground but it doesn’t registered for the achievement but it does count for the completion list. My tip is you pick up the weapons from the ground, put it in your inventory and then use it, that will count towards the achievement.).

A Taste for Japan

Ate at all restaurants.
Eat at all of the restaurant in Kamarucho and Sotenbori. You will get this naturally if youre doing all of the completion list. (note: there is a couple of restaurant that have the same name and menu in both Kamarucho and Sotenbori, you just need to eat at one of them and it will count.).

Party Like it’s 1988!

Possessed over 10,000,000 yen.
You will get this naturally when doing the cabaret club storyline. I got 120 mil from playing the cabaret in the later stages. Just make sure you have at least 10mil in your wallet.

Repeat Offender

Destroyed an establishment three times.
You need to fight in a restaurant or convenience stores that have the automatic door. You need to pretty much bait enemies there and destroy everything inside. Do this three times.

Opening Up a Can

Drank all drink types from vending machines.
Throughout kamurocho and sotenbori there will be vending machines. Whenever you see one buy all the drinks and drink them and eventually you will have drunk them all. The only “hard” one are the mystery drink which will give you a random beneficial effect. You will need to drink this drink several times toget them all. You can also see which drink your missing on the completion list.

Tourist Season

Took 10 photographs.
There is a phone you can bring up in the game. Simply take 10 photos and you will achieve this.

What a Player

Played all minigames.
Will come naturally if you are going for completionist. Just play each minigame once, you don’t have to win.
These are the list for the minigames :

  • Shogi
  • Mahjong
  • Oicho-Kabu
  • Koi-Koi
  • Poker
  • Blackjack
  • Karaoke
  • Video Booth
  • Gravure Photo Studio
  • UFO Catcher
  • Batting
  • Darts
  • Golf
  • Virtua Fighter 2
  • Virtual on
  • Toylets
Half Performance, Half Raw Power

Won all of the Coliseum’s tournaments.
Win all of the tournament available in purgatory. The last two tournament will be locked until you finish the clan creator main story and finishing all the substories.

You’re Not Welcome

Completed all bouncer missions.
You will be introduced to bouncer missions through one of the substories. There are 26 of them, each with 3 difficulty levels : normal, hard, legend. So in total there is 78 missions. The objective, enemy spawns, and overall strategy for each mission remains the same regardless of the difficulty. However, enemies will be a lot tougher, has more health, and can deal higher damage as the difficulty increases.

This is quite challenging especially for timed bouncer missions since it will take longer to eliminate targets. New missions will be unlocked after clearing the Normal difficulty of any mission. The next diffculty of the mission becomes available after clearing the preceding difficulty. The mission ends if the timer runs out or if your HP is depleted.

Note : You can’t use any health or recovery items and there is no health pick ups either, however you can use your weapons and equipment. Recommended to get infinite durability weapons from Kamiyama to make this easier

Movie Buff

Watched all the videos.
This is tied to one of the substories where you meet Kamiyama. Buy and watch all of his videos at the video booth. You can also get some from the Beam store at Kamarucho. (note : there is one video that will only be available after chapter 8 at Kamiyama).



For the Children

Donated 1,000,000 yen to Sunflower Orphanage.
This is related to one of the substories and you will fork out some money for Sunflower, but you will still be short from that 1 mil. You can donate the rest from the atm that you can find in the convenience store.

Champion of the City

Defeated all street bosses
Street bosses shows up after you beat 5 groups of either thugs, delinquents, and yakuza in Kamarucho and Sotenbori. There is 3 street bosses for each types of enemies, so there will be 9 in Kamarucho and 9 in Sotenbori. This is some of the places you can check for each types of enemies if you are having trouble finding them :

Kamarucho
• Delinquents – Theater Square and Nakamichi St. I prefer going to the vending machines in Theater Alley, then going back into the square.
• Thugs – Champion’s District, Park Boulevard, Hotel District
• Yakuza – Around Millennium Tower, Pink St., Tenkaichi St. I suggest using the vending machines at the Shichifuku Parking Lot to shuffle the spawn, and then committing to the group if they show up near Bantam, or at the corner northeast of Millennium Tower.

Sotenbori
• Delinquents – South Shofukucho and the river footpaths
• Thugs – Shofukucho and the Cabaret Grand
• Yakuza – West part of the city, from the Grand down to the parking lot in the southwest. I suggest going between the vending machines next to the Poppo on Shofukucho and the machines in the parking lot in the southwest and travel between the two. There are yakuza spawn points at either end.

Epilogue

Dragon of Legend

Completed the game in Legend mode
Legend difficulty is only unlocked once you have beaten the game once on any difficulty. After this you can make a save file for premium adventure to finished up all the other achievements that you’ve missed. After that you can select continue and pick YES on premium adventure save file, this will start your NG+ (note : I recommend doing this because it will be easier with your stats, abilities, weapons, and money carried over.)

YAKUZA KIWAMI 2

Obtained all other achievements.
Congratulations you’ve just finished Yakuza Kiwami 2 !!!

Thank you for using this guide and hopefully it helps you on getting those achievements.

Rating, sharing and favoriting this guide would mean a lot to me since this is my first attempt on making a guide and would help others find this guide. Post on the comments below if i’m wrong or missed something, so that this guide could be better and helps others on perfecting this game.

PS. The beginning of chapter 12 is brilliant, the ending was great and ryuji goda is the best antagonist so far.

Buy and support the game if you haven’t :
