Embark on your swashbuckling adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* as Goro Majima, Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you navigate the high seas, recruiting a formidable crew is crucial, and here's how you can enlist Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay to bolster your ranks.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, located in Honolulu, is a highly desirable recruit due to his impressive base stats, which surpass those of many early-game crew members. However, his recruitment process involves a bit more sailing and effort. You can recruit him in any order, but starting your journey in Madlantis to retrieve a crucial item makes the process smoother.
Once you dock at Madlantis, head to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, known for its entertaining mini-games. Inside, you'll find a claw machine called the UFO Catcher Game, which may contain a blue plush named "Kraken-Chan." If Kraken-Chan isn't available, speak to the attendant under the tent and request a change of prizes in the machine.
Winning Kraken-Chan from the claw machine might require multiple attempts, so ensure you have enough cash on hand. The trick is to maneuver the claw to nudge the plush into the prize slot. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu on the Goromaru.
Upon arriving in Honolulu, make your way to Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. Use a cab, your street surfer, or simply run to the location. To locate Surfer Jay easily, check your mini-map for the pirate member symbols marked with a bandana and sword, indicating potential recruits. You'll find Jay sitting in a garage beside his surfboard.
Engage in conversation with Surfer Jay, who will open up about his romantic woes. As the dialogue unfolds, you'll discover that Kraken-Chan is the key to resolving his relationship issues and convincing him to join the Goro Pirates. When the opportunity arises, present the plush to Jay. He'll then join your crew, and his base stats will be displayed.
While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's an essential recruit for completionists of *Pirate Yakuza*. His recruitment might be challenging due to the specific item required, and his dialogue can be less than straightforward.
That's how you secure Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
