How To Get Kraken-Chan and Recruit Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Embark on a swashbuckling adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* as Goro Majima, Captain of the Goro Pirates! Building your crew is key, and this guide helps you recruit the cool surfer dude, Surfer Jay. Here's how to snag Kraken-Chan and add Jay to your pirate ranks.

Recruiting Surfer Jay: A Step-by-Step Guide

Surfer Jay, a powerful recruit found in Honolulu, significantly boosts your crew. While his recruitment is a bit more involved, the rewards are worth the effort. The order doesn't matter, but grabbing the necessary item in Madlantis first streamlines the process.

First, set sail for Madlantis. Head to the arcade tent across from the Madlantis Golf Range. Inside, you'll find a UFO Catcher game. Your goal: the blue Kraken-Chan plush. However, it’s not always available. If you don't see it, ask the attendant to change the prizes.

Winning Kraken-Chan might require a few tries—it's a claw machine, after all! Stock up on cash beforehand. Strategic claw movements will maximize your chances of success. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, return to Honolulu.

In Honolulu, use a cab, your street surfer, or good old-fashioned running to reach Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. If you’re struggling to find Jay, check your mini-map for the pirate recruit symbol (bandana and sword). You'll find him chilling near his surfboard in a garage. Talk to him; he'll open up about his relationship woes.

Here's the twist: Kraken-Chan is the key to solving Jay's problems! Gift him the plush, and he'll happily join your crew, adding his impressive base stats to your team. While he doesn't have unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, completionists won't want to miss adding this unique character to their ranks.

And there you have it! You've successfully recruited Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*!
