FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC | Let's Play Like A Dragon - Ishin (Extra) - Part 17
0We completed most of the friendships although I didn't realise they don't appear in the Diligence Records until you have started them despite the gold completion text. We are at a point where we don't have a clear indication of what to do next so I guess we will see how it turns out.
Trophy/Achievement Timestamps
3:27:56 - Like A Dragon In Heaven Trophy/Achievement - In order to access this minigame you need to visit the brothel Yamabuki in Gion. At the cost of 1 ryo per attempt you can participate in The Courtesan Games which are a series of minigames where you will compete with Anna who is also a friendship event and you need to win all of these in a row. The options you select prior do not change anything that you need to do. You can't change the difficulty until you have completed all of them in a row however these are by default on the easiest difficulty. Keep in mind any time you fail these minigames you need to complete them again as well as pay for another attempt. The first is Sake Showdown which is similar to the Massage Parlor minigames found in Yakuza's 3-5 however in this case you are competing against Anna who's progression bar will increase the same amount regardless of the difficulty each time. The difference here is that instead of trying to stay awake you need to not succumb to your drunkenness. In order to do this you need to manage the drink level alternating between pressing X/A to decrease the bar and Circle/B to increase it. The more it increases the faster you drink. The longer you take the more the bar for Anna decreases meaning you need to complete more rounds. Also the button presses are fairly sensitive so you can easily go too far either way resulting in you passing out or spilling your drink ending the minigame. My suggestion would be to initially let it get high enough by itself before sending it back down and alternating as you go. Each round will change the sensitivity level so you need to pay attention to this however repeat attempts allow you to practice as they stay the same. The second is Rock, Paper, Scissors which you would think is the easiest of the minigames however much like the actual game it is based on luck and you could just straight up lose without it being your fault. In order to win you need to pick the right option to counter what Anna has done. The ways to win are Rock beats Scissors, Paper covers Rock and Scissors cuts Paper. If there is a tie then you need to immediately give another response. If this occurs the best way to do this is to counter with what would defeat your initial choice. So if Rock ties choose Scissors, if it is Paper choose Rock and if it is Scissors choose Paper. The minigame will end when either you or Anna are able to win 5 times in total. You have access to the Third Eye ability which will allow you to slow down time and if timed correctly you can see what option she selects and then counter with the correct option. The best time to use this would be when you reach halfway through the green bar towards the end of the minigame so that you can see what she has chosen. You can only do this 3 times throughout so you still need some luck. The mechanic is similar to the slow down feature using Heat in the air hockey and table tennis minigames for Yakuza 4 and 5. On harder difficulties she will change what she puts down at the last second so keep this in mind as well. Finally the last minigame is Sensual Healing which can be best described as a bullet hell where you need to deal enough damage to a floating heart a total of 3 times that is moving from left to right across the screen whilst also making sure to destroy and avoid the dirty thoughts that are falling down the screen. Every time you are hit by one of these you will lose a life and need to continue forward. By pressing the X/A button you will be able to spray projectiles continuously whereas if you hold the button you can do a charged shot however I feel like this is not very useful at all because of how fast the dirty thoughts appear on the screen and simply keeping up with them is better than trying to deal slightly more damage. You also have an option to push the Triangle/Y button which will allow you to destroy all of the dirty thoughts on screen. This however can only be used 3 times throughout the entire minigame. Because this isn't timed you should be able to just spam the X/A button to constantly fire and move ever so slightly when the heart moves and when you need to avoid the dirty thoughts flying around. For the most part you can just stay in the middle of the screen for this and should be safe enough. When you have cleared each of the courtesan minigames you will unlock this trophy/achievement.
