)Introduction
Welcome to the Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Trophy Guide! Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a spinoff of the main Like a Dragon series, occurring after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth with Goro Majima as the main character. From a content perspective the game is much closer to Like a Dragon: Gaiden, being smaller in scale and story length and returning to the real time action combat from before Ichiban’s games.
Trophy-wise the game is very similar to Gaiden in that you need to finish the story and most of the unique side content, but not requiring you to spend a bunch of time playing the traditional or repeated minigames and grinding for completion. There is also no difficulty or NG+ requirement, so you can play how you like for a single playthrough of the game.
Step 1: Complete the Story
Your first step in the game will be completing the main story. There are no missables, so you can do as much or as little of the side content as you like while you progress.
Step 2: Complete Devil Flags and Pirates’ Coliseum side activities
Next, you will want to work on the Devil Flags and Pirates Coliseum side activities. The Devil Flags side story involves sailing the seas around Hawaii and dealing with a roaming band of pirates. The Pirates Coliseum works similar to the Coliseum in Gaiden, where you use your unlocked crew members in contained arena battles. You will need to complete the Devil Flags story to unlock all of the Pirates’ Coliseum matches. You need to complete all of these to face the Amon Pirates, so it is recommended you work on finishing the Devil Flags section first.
Step 3: Clean up remaining Trophies
Once you have completed the Coliseum, you may only have a handful of trophies left to clean up due to no 100% completion requirement.
