In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you step into the swashbuckling shoes of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you sail the seas, recruiting crew members becomes essential to strengthening your team. Here's a detailed guide on how to acquire Kraken-Chan and enlist Surfer Jay into your pirate crew.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, a promising recruit, awaits in Honolulu. His base stats outshine those of earlier crew members, making him a valuable asset. However, recruiting him involves a bit more effort and some sailing. The process can be tackled in any order, but heading to Madlantis first to retrieve the crucial item is recommended.
Once you dock at Madlantis, head straight to the tent across from the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find the claw machine and arcade games. Your target is the UFO Catcher Game, which occasionally offers a blue plush named Kraken-Chan, the key to recruiting Surfer Jay. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, speak with the attendant under the tent to request a prize change.
Winning Kraken-Chan from the claw machine might require several tries, so ensure you have enough cash. The trick is to use the claw to nudge the plush towards the collection slot until it falls in. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu on the Goromaru.
Upon reaching Honolulu, head to Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center, either by cab, street surfer, or on foot. Use your mini-map to locate the pirate recruit symbols, which feature a bandana and sword. You'll find Surfer Jay sitting in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll share his woes about heartbreak and relationship issues.
As the conversation unfolds, you'll discover that Kraken-Chan is the solution to Surfer Jay's troubles. When prompted, gift him the plush, and he'll join your crew, with his stats now visible. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's a must-have for *Pirate Yakuza* completionists. His dialogue may not be the most helpful, but finding the specific plush he desires is the challenge.
And that's how you secure Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
