In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, stepping into the pirate boots of Goro Majima, Captain of the Goro Pirates, means embarking on a sea-faring journey to recruit various crew members. Here's a detailed guide on how to recruit Surfer Jay and secure Kraken-Chan for your crew.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, a promising recruit located in Honolulu, boasts higher base stats than many of the earlier crew members you can encounter in the game. Recruiting him, however, involves a bit more effort and sailing. To streamline the process, start by heading to Madlantis to fetch the crucial item needed to bring Surfer Jay into your fold.
Upon docking at Madlantis, make your way to the tent across from the Madlantis Golf Range, which houses the claw machine and arcade games. Look for the UFO Catcher Game that might contain the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan, which Surfer Jay covets. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, politely ask the attendant under the tent to refresh the prizes in the machine.
Winning Kraken-Chan can be as challenging as real-life claw machines, so ensure you have ample cash on hand. The trick is to maneuver the claw to nudge the plush towards the prize slot. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, return to your ship, the Goromaru, and sail back to Honolulu.
In Honolulu, head to the Anaconda Shopping Center and find Tropical Coco. Use your mini-map to spot the pirate member symbols, which indicate potential recruits. You'll find Surfer Jay lounging in a garage beside his surfboard. Engage him in conversation, and he'll share his personal struggles. When the moment is right, present him with Kraken-Chan. This gesture will win him over, adding him to your crew with his stats displayed.
While Surfer Jay may not offer standout stats or unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's a vital addition for those aiming to complete their crew in *Pirate Yakuza*. His recruitment can be tricky, and his hints about Kraken-Chan are less than clear, making this guide essential for your journey.
And that's how you secure Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
