Among all the games produced by RGG Studio, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii stands out as a particularly unique title because it blends elements of piracy and ocean voyages amidst the treacherous waters surrounding Honolulu.

As a swashbuckling gamer, I can seize control of my very own motley crew aboard the mighty Goromaru ship – my trusty vessel in this epic pirate adventure!

You can enhance the Goromaru to boost its power, especially when facing tougher opponents or effortlessly dealing with the challenging Devil Flag fleet. New weaponry could be a good addition for this purpose.

Here’s a helpful guide detailing the process of improving your spaceship and accessing additional enhancements. Enjoy!

How To Upgrade Your Ship

You will have the chance to enhance your spacecraft in Chapter 2, following your purchase and modification of the updated Goromaru model. This refurbished ship can subsequently be fitted with fresh gear and improvements.

Concerning the mentioned items, you will encounter them through the “Performance Upgrades.” You can apply these upgrades when you are in a secure area within the mainland zones or the Lighthouses located at sea, using the Disembark option.

The prices vary for them, and the topmost level is labeled as ‘Durability’, which further divides into three distinct categories: Plus, Extreme, and Kiwami.

To achieve the Platinum Trophy and engage with the most challenging enemy vessels, it’s essential that you have access to all available resources. This includes stockpiling additional Fuel Tank charges, maximizing the use of your Smoke Screen for protection in intense combat situations, and utilizing shields effectively during battle.

Initially, concentrate on the Boarding Team as it requires minimal funding in three areas. Subsequently, give attention to enhancing the Fuel Tank and boosting the vessel’s resilience or durability, a crucial aspect for withstanding attacks from opposing ships.

Clearly, the key improvement lies in its Durability, as this factor determines your ability to endure heavy blows or damage.

How To Customize Your Ship

You can personalize your ship by navigating to the ‘Change Appearance’ option, which is found within the Performance Upgrades and Equipment sections in the Prepare to Sail menu.

Just as Majima can be customized with unique clothing items, the Goromaru boat can also be personalized with aesthetic modifications, including custom sails, hull designs, and prominent figures such as Kiryu or Ichiban.

Many of these personalization options can be obtained from different shops and in-game merchants scattered globally. A few are downloadable content exclusive to the Deluxe version of the game.

How To Unlock More Equipment & Upgrades

During naval conflicts, Goromaru is armed with two cannons stationed on the main deck, along with a forward-mounted machine gun. Additionally, it carries a rocket launcher operable by Majima, offering additional firepower when not focusing on piloting the vessel.

For the majority of your weapons, including standard cannons, their upgrade details can be found under the Equipment section. If you’re looking to acquire fresh gear or its enhanced versions, you’ll need to make a trip to Julie’s Gearworks shop, which is located in Hawaii.

Besides gathering Equipment crafting materials while venturing out, you have the option to purchase these items from merchants who occasionally dock close to Lighthouses as well.

Julie will grant you access to the crafting of these items once you supply her with sufficient materials for each piece, as some of the required materials are common, while others might be scarce or harder to find.

Let’s begin by discussing the Laser Cannons. They are fantastic, particularly their enhanced versions. These improved versions offer an extended range and are capable of bridging distances swiftly.

If you manage to obtain the enhanced version, the Shark Cannon works particularly well because it has the capability to fire not one but two shots, and additionally, it can chill down enemy vessels.
