It is finally time for our party to tackle the ultimate challenge, the True Final Millenium Tower awaits and is home to some of the toughest enemies we'll ever encounter, every fight needs to be treated carefully here, and thankfully some can be outright skipped!

We face the same enemies, and bosses, as the regular version of the tower, but much stronger, Saejima has also changed weaknesses from Ice to Electric. As general tips, you want to have an Idol for healing since you'll take so much damage, I picked Eri for that since her Agility means she gets turns quickly enough to keep everyone topped off. Most fights are pretty straightforward once you have the stats and skills, so I'm not going to detail strategies, just be sure to cast Peerless Resolve on Ichiban, and if you have Sacrifice Stones, they're quite useful.

Amon is back, and while the fight starts like the regular version with him going through Rush and Beast styles, things change quite a bit after that...
After weakening him enough in Beast, he'll summon some backup... namely Kiryu, Saejima and Majima!
Thankfully they are a little bit weaker than the versions you've faced earlier. Soon after, Amon will flash his Malicious Grin and inflict Fear on your party (Unless you're protected from it, like I was) and announcing the use of his Essence of Orbital Laser.
You will NOT survive this by normal means, but there's a way around it, using Mr. Masochist as a Poundmate creates a barrier protecting your party and reducing incoming damage for a few turns, use that a bit after he switches to Beast style, or after he summons the three Thought Entities, and the barrier should be up to let you survive the attack.
Once you're past the laser, finish off Amon, and then the remaining trio, I recommend Majima first, being the weakest of the three, then Saejima while Kiryu remains in his first style, and finish with the Dragon of Dojima himself. When they're low on HP they can unleash their ultimate attacks which are what they use as Poundmates, just be healed up at all times and you should be fine.

And your reward for this is... the team's respect and admiration! As well as one trophy (Which unlocked the Platinum for me too) and the Legendary Hero costume for Ichiban which I showcase at the end!

And that concludes Yakuza: Like a Dragon for me! What a ride that was!
