In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you step into the pirate boots of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you navigate the seas, recruiting crew members becomes an essential part of your journey. Here's how you can secure Kraken-Chan and bring Surfer Jay onto your crew, enhancing your team with his impressive stats.
How To Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, found in Honolulu, is a valuable recruit for your crew, boasting higher base stats than many of the early members you can acquire. Recruiting him, however, involves a bit more effort, including a detour to Madlantis.
Start your quest by docking your ship at Madlantis. Head to the tent across from the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find claw machines and arcade games. Your target is the UFO Catcher Game, which may contain the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan, crucial for recruiting Surfer Jay. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, speak to the attendant under the tent to request a prize change.
Winning Kraken-Chan might take several tries, much like real-life claw machines, so ensure you have enough cash. The trick is to maneuver the claw to push the plush into the collection slot. Once you have Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu.
Upon arriving in Honolulu, head to the Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. You can use a cab, your street surfer, or simply run there. Use your mini-map to locate the pirate member symbols indicating potential recruits. Surfer Jay should be sitting in a garage next to his surfboard.
Engage with Surfer Jay, and he'll share his personal struggles. It's here that Kraken-Chan becomes pivotal. Gift the plush to Jay to help him overcome his relationship woes, and he'll agree to join your crew, displaying his base stats. While Surfer Jay may not offer unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, his recruitment is a must for completionists.
That's the complete guide to acquiring Kraken-Chan and recruiting Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
