Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii – The Goro Pirates

Here’s everything you need to know about The Goro Pirates from Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Set sail with the Goro Pirates

Prepare to embark on a grand adventure across the open seas, Like A Dragon style. Captain Goro Majima and his crew, the Goro Pirates, eagerly await your arrival.

Welcome on board the Goromaru

Captain Majima needs not just a dependable crew but a worthy seafaring vessel. Enter the Goromaru. Named after Noah’s friendly feline companion, this ship will be your home on open waters, where on board, you can enjoy karaoke, parties, and feasts with the crew.

With other amenities like a kitchen and, of course, the captain’s personal quarters.

Scouting for a pirate crew

Personally assemble your very own Goro Pirates from an array of characters found all over. You might even spot a familiar face or two from past Like A Dragon games!

Shipload of challenges

Take your Goro Pirates to the top of the Pirate Ranks by completing loads of challenges like treasure gathering, defeating other pirates, or simply taking a selfie with friends. Reap the benefits as your reputation increases, and be the envy of every pirate crew in Hawaii.

A Treasury of Treasures

What’s a pirate game without buried treasure? Use your trusty Treasury of Treasures to get hints about hidden wealth just waiting to be found. The log is just waiting to be completed, too, as the more treasure you see, the higher the reputation of the Goro Pirates in the ranks goes.

Bounties abound

Dangerous criminals might be roaming around, threatening the peace in paradise. Luckily, big and hefty bounties are offered for bringing in these shady characters. And it just so happens Captain Majima is in serious need of funds to upgrade the Goromaru and keep himself well stocked and equipped. So keep on the lookout for all those Bounties and Wanted posters if you want to rake in the dough.

Show off ’em rings

The rings you collect aren’t just there to make Goro Majima look even more stylish. They also offer buffs like increased attack or defense, for example. And you can find it everywhere, whether as a reward for helping people or finding them among treasures. Express yourself like the proud pirate that you are, as the rings you equip will be visible in Majima’s hands.

Bon voyages

The ocean is vast and features diverse biomes like lush greeneries, volcano-riddled waters, and cold climate areas. They’re also home to other pirate crews who may not be friendly, so be prepared before you set sail. Using the “Prepare to Sail” option, customize the Goromaru’s looks and equipment, organize your crew, or buff up your firepower to give you a fighting chance at sea.

R&R on the Deck

When you aren’t busy sending enemy pirates to a watery grave, take some time off to roam around the Goromaru’s deck and mingle with your crew.

Gearing for some fishing

No trip to the sea is complete without some fishing, so attach a trawl net to the Goromaru and reel in some hefty rewards, such as fish, resources, and other items.

Downtime with the crew

Spend some time to chat with your crewmates aboard the Goromaru. You might even have a gift or two that they may appreciate that’ll raise their Morale and EXP. Let your crew know they’re essential any chance you get.

Scope out the competition in Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza

Knowledge is power, so use your trusty scope to asses enemy strength and decide which pirate battles are worth fighting. Also, to uncover details on treasure islands and other information that may be of interest.

Eat and party like a pirate

What better way to raise crew morale than throwing them a party? Bring your crew together and eat and drink the night away. And for your personal selection, boost their EXP even more by throwing a feast in the captain’s quarters. Talk about a private party!

Beware of the sea

It isn’t all clear skies and waters at sea, as nature is untamed. Prepare to face dangers ranging from dangerous whirlpools to freezing snowfalls. Something might even be lurking underwater that you wouldn’t want to encounter.

There’s treasure in them thar islands

Scattered about are islands with hidden treasures just waiting to be found, but lands won’t give up their valuables so easily. Bring along your best crewmates for an expedition where you may run into dangers like lava, toxic gases, other treasure-hunting pirates, and many more. Take on the challenge and bring home what’s rightfully yours. It’s a pirate’s life, after all!
