Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

A group of men ask Kiryu to teach them the 'wall slam'. Demo it, then brawl their tormentors.

An 'It's me' scammer calls. Press him on his identity to expose the scam, then beat the crew.

A young Haruka fan asks Kiryu to help her find merch. Help her out for a hand-drawn picture.

Catch the rogue cleaning robot and return it to its owner.

An AI named Hiji insists he is human. Answer his questions about humanity.

Help — or stop — viral creator Usui's stunt; ends in a brawl with hostile viewers.

Chase a suspicious drone to a multipurpose building and confront its operator.

Brawl with men who claim a grudge against Kiryu.

Unlocks near the Tenkaichi St. entrance once No.8 is done. Head to the Yoshida Batting Center and talk to the man in the yellow tracksuit inside; the scene ends in a brawl against roughly ten men at once, so lean on weapons and heat actions.

Tag along with a woman who wants three selfies — pose for each.

A prepaid-card scam setup. Refuse to send the number — push back twice — to draw out the crew and clear properly.

Beat Akaishi at Bantam to qualify for a showdown against Paul Lim.

Approach the dartboard for a practice round and Paul Lim challenges you, with Yuya Akaishizawa translating since Kiryu does not speak English. Win or lose, whatever the ruleset, Paul gifts you his Legend's Darts.

Cabaret minigame chain — train Saki to top, then handle the trouble that follows.

Get Hikaru's business card and reach Platinum level with her, then set up the date in Theatre Square. When she does not show, search around and you find she is at a talent agency interview — and learn what the staff are really after.

Make SORA the No.1 hostess at Club Shine, set the after-hours date at the theater square, then talk to her there. The scene moves on its own into a dialogue with two prompts — a cheerful woman or a demure one, then whether you have other things to do, cannot manage it now, or would like to some day. Neither choice changes the outcome.

Make Erina the No.1 hostess at Club Shine, arrange the after-hours meet at the theater square and go there. A stalker scene triggers automatically and ends in a one-on-one fight; win it and the substory wraps up.

Riona is waiting near the end of Pink Avenue, but as you set off you witness a man blaming a hostess for barring him after he ran up a huge bill — and it turns out she is from Club Shine.

After Onomichi's No.35, clear the Yoshida Batting Center's challenge course three times to trigger a chat with the manager. Then take the prototype course and hit five home runs in a row — the pitch types and locations never change and you can retry freely, so it is a memorisation job. There are two dialogue prompts along the way and neither changes anything; the manager signs on at the end regardless.

Once Onomichi's No.35 is done, clear the Yoshida Batting Center's home-run course three times to meet Gori-san, then beat him by hitting seven or more home runs to recruit him.

Walk up to the third floor of the building before Senryo Ave. and the "cat cafe nyan nyan" scene fires. Step inside and the conversation plays out on its own, unlocking Cat Search — the collectathon of strays scattered across Kamurocho and Onomichi.

Pass the couple on the corner near Vitte Kitchen (Taihei Blvd. West) to start it; you are asked what they are talking about and any answer moves it along. Then head to the mantai net cafe by the theater, talk to the man there and try live chat for yourself.

Approach the two men outside RAIZAP behind the theater plaza, hear them out and choose to sign up. Talk to Makuta for two rounds of training, then eat according to the diet he prescribes and report back. The meals must be the specific dishes at the specific restaurants he names, so go straight there after each session.

After No.23, leaving RAIZAP triggers a fight with Sotachi. Then find him wandering Kamurocho and clear the trouble missions "Defeat the Tough Guy 1" and "2", talking to him again between each. He emails you afterwards; meet him at the children's park west of Shichifuku St. for the final bout. Note the chain stalls until trouble missions unlock in Chapter 2 and clan battles in Chapter 5.

Help a young couple, then fight off yakuza who interfere.

A bogus cult's induction quiz. Answer every prompt 'correctly' to expose the leader, then beat him.

Pocket Circuit Fighter, now married with a son, has moved back to Hiroshima. Reunite with him in front of his tofu shop in Onomichi and reminisce about his Kamurocho racing days — his son turns up partway through.

A series of timed ghost encounters in the cemetery at night; clear them all to learn the truth.

Examine Ono Michio's discarded head in the arcade and agree to help. Five in-character prompts follow — how to introduce yourself, how to greet the crowd, how to answer a heckler, what you like, and your love life — none of which is a right-or-wrong answer; they just set how you play Michio. It closes with a fight against four thugs.

With both No.29 and No.40 cleared, walking past the spot gets you flagged down by the producer, Hironaka. Agree to help and sing "Today is a Diamond" at karaoke — your score does not matter, so a sloppy run still counts.

After No.30, pass the mother and daughter across from the Suigun apartments, talk to the girl Shizuko, then go to Hironaka outside the Yonetoku tavern. One prompt about being afraid of pain comes up and any answer works; win the fight against four thugs to finish.

Hear out the 'time-traveler' girl all the way; her crew shows up and you brawl.

Help two people who claim their bodies switched; Muranaka and crew jump you.

Chiba of the Seto Warriors stops you on the path between Shishido West and the Jingai ferry landing, opposite Tokuyama Transit. Take a taxi to the ballpark for a game against the Jingai Thunders — it is a scripted loss, so the result does not matter. Talk to Chiba by the ropeway station afterwards to finish and unlock sandlot baseball.

Return to the ballpark after No.34, then approach the trio outside the Sumikawa okonomiyaki shop. Talk to Morizuka and beat him in a fight: he joins the Warriors and scouting other players around town opens up.

With No.35 done, head to the ballpark and beat the Jingai Thunders' second string. Set your lineup and fielding with the players you have scouted and it is a straightforward win.

After No.36, beat the Jingai Thunders' first string at the ballpark. Their pitching is a clear step up from the second team, so scout in some better hitters first. Winning opens up matches against the Legends.

Talk to Chiba.

Talk to Chiba.

Walking past Snack New Gaudi triggers the scene; step inside, watch the conversation and it is done. This is the gateway to No.41 through No.46 — from here on you raise each regular's friendship by scoring a pass mark in the bar's conversation minigame.

Raise Hatakeyama's friendship to 3 at the bar, then approach while he is standing outside. Have the group conversation with him, Gen and Mama, then enter La pente for the closing scene. Talk to him at the bar on a later visit and he joins the Seto Warriors.

Raise Akiyoshi's friendship to 3 and he will stop you near the bar — accept, sit through the conversation with him, Hatakeyama and Mama, then find him on the footbridge east of Route 2 and talk to him. Speak to him at the bar on a later day to sign him to the Warriors (this may require Hatakeyama first).

Raise Gen's friendship to 3 and approach while he is at the bar's entrance. After the group conversation with Hatakeyama and Mama, walk a short distance and he emails you a selfie; return to the bar and talk to him to finish. He joins the Warriors when you speak to him on a later visit.

Raise Ando's friendship to 3 and he will approach you near the bar. Trying to enter Otafukuya triggers a scene; go back to the bar and join the conversation with Ando, Hatakeyama, Akiyoshi and Mama. A scene at Otafukuya follows with a fight against a ruffian, and the story closes when you walk up to Ando by the Jingai ferry landing. Talk to him at the bar later to add him to the Kiryu Clan.

Raise Kaneko's friendship to 3, find him near the bar and accept his invitation. After the conversation with Gen, Akiyoshi and Mama a scene plays outside on its own; finish by talking to him on the shrine bench. Speak to him at the bar later and he joins the Kiryu Clan.

Raise Mama's friendship to 3, then approach the woman in a suit near the Yonetoku tavern. Head back toward the bar for the next scene and leave the letter under the electric kettle. Come back to the ferry terminal after some time has passed and the story closes with everyone talking at the bar. Speak to Mama on a later visit for the reward.

At the Jingai Ferry Dock you meet an injured Isao. His injury stops him fishing, so he hands over the Standard Speargun and asks you to finish the catch for him — accepting doubles as the spearfishing tutorial.

Talk to Golchov, the man in a suit at the Jingai ferry landing. You need to spear the Delicious Octopus that shows up at the end of the intermediate free-diving route, Sunken Labyrinth. Return to the harbor and Golchov signs on with the Seto Warriors.

Talk to Amano at the harbor, then dive the advanced route, Undersea Dragon Hole, and kill the Bloody Shark waiting at the end. Oxygen is tight on that course, so ignore the fish along the way and push straight through.

Approach the man collapsed outside the ropeway station and hand over a tonkatsu bento; that starts a fight with Daijiro Saigo. Beating him turns him into a trouble mission — clear "Defeat the Tough Guy of Onomichi Jingaicho 1" and "2", and when he emails you, return to the ropeway station for the rematch that ends it.

While in Onomichi Jingaicho you get an email from Jo Amon; take a taxi to Amon's Floating Island for the duel. The exact trigger is debated, but clearing at least No.24 and No.50 appears to be required. He is the series' traditional superboss and can wall you even on Easy depending on your level and execution, so stock up heavily on healing items first.
