"Guide to Recruiting Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii"

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, players take on the role of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates, on a quest to recruit crew members across the high seas. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain Kraken-Chan and enlist Surfer Jay into your pirate crew.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay, a recruit located in Honolulu, is a valuable addition to your crew due to his higher base stats compared to earlier members. However, recruiting him involves a more intricate process that requires some sailing. While the order of tasks is flexible, starting your journey in Madlantis to retrieve the necessary item, Kraken-Chan, is advisable.

Upon docking at Madlantis, head to the tent across from the Madlantis Golf Range, which houses claw machines and arcade games. Focus on the UFO Catcher Game, where you might find the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan, which Surfer Jay desires. If Kraken-Chan isn't available among the prizes, speak to the attendant under the tent to request a change in the prizes.

Securing Kraken-Chan might require multiple attempts, akin to real-life claw machines, so ensure you have enough in-game currency. The strategy is to nudge the plush toward the prize slot using the claw until it falls in. Once you've acquired Kraken-Chan, return to your ship, the Goromaru, and sail back to Honolulu.

In Honolulu, make your way to the Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. You can use a cab, your street surfer, or run to the location. To find Surfer Jay, check your mini-map for pirate member symbols marked with a bandana and sword, indicating potential recruits. Surfer Jay should be found in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage him in conversation, and he'll share his relationship woes.

It turns out that Kraken-Chan is crucial to resolving Surfer Jay's relationship issues and convincing him to join your crew. When prompted, present the plush to Surfer Jay, and he'll join your ranks. Although Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique stats or perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's essential for completionists seeking to recruit every member available in *Pirate Yakuza*.

And that's how you secure Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay into your crew in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
