Chapter 12: The End of the Yakuza

Walkthrough

The area in the order you play it. Tick things off as you go: they tick off in the checklists below too.

1. 1

   Arriving in Sotenbori

   After paying 3,000,000 yen to Chairman Hoshino at the Seiryu Clan HQ in Ijincho, travel to Osaka and take in the streets of Sotenbori. Head toward the Sotenbori Battle Arena building where you are introduced to Yappi-kun, the robot receptionist and announcer. Before moving forward with the story, use this facility's 30 floors to train up for the steep level spikes ahead.

   Tip: Train your party extensively at the Sotenbori Battle Arena to reach around Level 50 before advancing.

   Watch out: If you choose "No" on the preparation confirmation prompts, use that time to stock up on healing supplies and train rather than rushing ahead unprepared.

2. 2

   Breaching Omi Alliance Headquarters

   Take any Sotenbori taxi menu option to reach the outside of the Omi Alliance HQ gates, where you will receive a phone warning from Mitsu telling you to stay away. Disguise yourself as a delivery driver to slip inside past the exterior perimeter. When you gain access to the Ground Floor Entrance Hall, look near the base of the left-hand staircase next to a decorative vase to grab Mysterious Stone #1 before proceeding.

   Mysterious Stone #1: Ground floor, near the base of the left-hand staircaseHow: Pick up next to a decorative vaseMissable because: Clearing the chapter's infiltration and boss fight Don't miss

   Tip: Keep an eye out for decorative containers on the ground floor to snag collectibles before moving up.

   Watch out: You will permanently lose the chance to grab Mysterious Stone #1 once you clear the infiltration and the subsequent boss fight.

3. 3

   Delivering Packages on the Second Floor

   Carry your food boxes past the patrolling guards on the Second Floor side hallways while avoiding their lines of sight. Search the railing overlooking the grand entrance lobby to pick up Mysterious Stone #2, check the sitting room through the north-west-south turn off the main corridor for a Luxury Yakiniku Bento, and grab Superalloy Steel outside next to a suit of decorative samurai armor near the southern exit path. If an Omi Alliance Member spots you, you will be forced into a solo duel against a Level 35 enemy.

   Key fight: Patrolling Omi Guards (Stealth Phase)

   Tip: Standard attacks or single-turn blunt and blade skills quickly neutralize spotted guards.

   Watch out: Getting detected three times resets guard positions and throws you back to the beginning of the infiltration.

4. 4

   Sneaking Through the Third Floor Corridors

   Continue evading patrolling guards around the corners of the Third Floor Corridors as you push toward the inner hall. Step inside the eastern room off the far south hallway to pick up a Quickness Lemon. Just before the final double doors leading into the Dragon Chamber, head down a short flight of stairs to grab Sengoku Coffee right beside the entrance.

   Quickness Lemon: 3rd Floor, inside the eastern room off the far south hallwayHow: Pick up inside the eastern roomMissable because: Clearing the chapter's infiltration and boss fight Don't missSengoku Coffee: 3rd Floor, right next to the final double doors leading to the Dragon ChamberHow: Pick up down a short flight of stairsMissable because: Clearing the chapter's infiltration and boss fight Don't miss

   Tip: Watch guard patrol paths carefully at blind corners to avoid unwanted combat triggers.

   Watch out: Sengoku Coffee and the Quickness Lemon cannot be recovered after completing this chapter's infiltration and boss battle.

5. 5

   Surviving the Legends in the Dragon Chamber

   Confirm you are ready at the prompt to enter the Dragon Chamber and battle Goro Majima and Taiga Saejima. Majima attacks multiple times, inflicts paralysis, buffs his stats massively at 50% HP, and summons doppelgangers that you should wipe out with blunt AoE skills, while Saejima dishes out massive physical blows and joins him for the Gouha Renkai tag-team attack. Target Majima first with Fire and Blunt, exploit Saejima's Ice/Cold weakness, protect Kasuga with Peerless Resolve, mitigate incoming bursts with Mr. Masochist, and maintain Saeko on dedicated Idol healing.

   Key fight: Dual Boss: Goro Majima & Taiga Saejima

   Tip: Defeating this legendary duo rewards massive EXP, cash, and unlocks both Goro Majima and Taiga Saejima as Poundmates summons.

   Watch out: The Gouha Renkai combo can wipe out Kasuga in a single strike if you do not guard or keep Peerless Resolve active.

6. 6

   Quelling the Dissolution Ceremony Riot

   Enter the Omi HQ main assembly hall to witness Masumi Arakawa and Daigo Dojima deliver the joint dissolution announcement of the yakuza clans. When the assembly erupts into chaos, clear Wave 1 against six Level 47–48 Omi Alliance Members using crowd control and heavy AoE skills like Hero's Giga Swing and Homeless Guy's Essence of Pyro Prison. For Wave 2, bring down the remaining high-threat officers and enforcers using Blunt, Electric, and Blade attacks while Kazuma Kiryu assists in a cutscene.

   Key fight: Dissolution Hall Brawl (Assembly Riot) - Wave 1 Key fight: Dissolution Hall Brawl (Assembly Riot) - Wave 2

   Tip: Large-radius area-of-effect skills will prevent the large mob in Wave 1 from overwhelming your party.
