"How to Recruit Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza Hawaii"

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay is a valuable recruit found in Honolulu, boasting higher base stats than earlier crew members. Recruiting him, however, involves a bit more effort and some sailing. The sequence of actions doesn't matter, but it's advisable to start by heading to Madlantis to secure the item needed to win Jay over.

Upon docking at Madlantis, navigate to the tent directly opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, home to some of the game's most entertaining mini-games. Inside this tent, you'll find a UFO Catcher Game. Your goal is to win the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan, which Surfer Jay adores. If Kraken-Chan isn't among the available prizes, speak to the attendant to request a change in the machine's offerings.

Winning Kraken-Chan might require multiple attempts, much like real-life claw machines. Ensure you have enough in-game currency before you start. The best strategy is to maneuver the claw to push the plush toward the prize chute until it falls. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, return to your ship, the Goromaru, and set sail for Honolulu.

Back in Honolulu, head to the Anaconda Shopping Center's Tropical Coco. If you struggle to find Surfer Jay, use your mini-map to locate pirate recruit symbols marked by a bandana and sword. You'll find Jay in a garage beside his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him to learn about his personal struggles, particularly his relationship issues.

When the opportunity arises, present Kraken-Chan to Surfer Jay. This gift will resolve his relationship troubles and convince him to join the Goro Pirates. While Surfer Jay's stats aren't particularly exceptional for roles like First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, recruiting him is essential for those aiming for 100% completion in *Pirate Yakuza*. His dialogue can be somewhat vague, making the plush hunt a bit challenging.

This is how you can secure 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.
