How To Get Kraken-Chan and Recruit Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Embark on a swashbuckling adventure as Goro Majima in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, where recruiting a diverse crew is key to success. This guide focuses on acquiring Kraken-Chan and recruiting the valuable crew member, Surfer Jay.

Recruiting Surfer Jay: A Step-by-Step Guide

Surfer Jay, a powerful recruit found in Honolulu, boasts superior base stats compared to earlier crew members. However, his recruitment involves a slightly more challenging quest. While the order doesn't matter, acquiring the necessary item in Madlantis first streamlines the process.

First, set sail for Madlantis. Once docked, head to the arcade games located in the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range. Find the UFO Catcher game; your target is a blue plush, Kraken-Chan, which Surfer Jay desires. Note: Kraken-Chan isn't always available. If you don't see it, ask the attendant to change the prizes.

Winning Kraken-Chan might require several attempts, so ensure you have sufficient funds. Strategically use the claw to nudge the plush towards the collection slot. Once obtained, return to the Goromaru and sail back to Honolulu.

Locate Surfer Jay at Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. Use the mini-map to find the pirate recruit symbol (bandana and sword). He'll be in a garage near his surfboard. Speak with him; he'll reveal his romantic woes.

Present Kraken-Chan to Jay to resolve his problems and secure his place in your crew. While he doesn't offer unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, his high base stats make him a valuable asset for completionists. His cryptic dialogue can make finding Kraken-Chan tricky, so this guide provides clarity.

That's how you recruit Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
