Embark on a thrilling adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* as Goro Majima, the fearless Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you sail through the seas, you'll need to recruit diverse crew members to bolster your team. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to secure Kraken-Chan and recruit the talented Surfer Jay into your pirate crew.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay is a vital recruit you can find in Honolulu, making him an excellent addition to your crew due to his superior base stats. However, his recruitment process is more complex and involves some sailing. It's recommended to start by heading to Madlantis to retrieve the crucial item needed for Surfer Jay's recruitment.
Once you dock at Madlantis, head to the tent directly opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find claw machines and arcade games. Look for the UFO Catcher Game, which might have the blue plush called "Kraken-Chan" that Surfer Jay desires. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, speak to the attendant under the tent to request a prize switch.
Winning Kraken-Chan from the claw machine can be challenging and may require multiple attempts, so ensure you have enough cash. The best strategy is to use the claw to nudge the plush until it falls into the prize slot. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, board the Goromaru and sail back to Honolulu to find Surfer Jay.
Upon arriving in Honolulu, you can use a cab, your street surfer, or simply run to Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. Use the mini-map to locate the pirate member symbols with a bandana and sword, indicating recruitable characters. You'll find Surfer Jay sitting in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage him in conversation, and he'll open up about his personal struggles.
As the conversation progresses, you'll discover that Kraken-Chan is essential for helping Surfer Jay overcome his relationship issues and ultimately convincing him to join the Goro Pirates. When the time comes, present him with the plush, and he'll join your crew, displaying his base stats. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, his recruitment is a must for completionists in *Pirate Yakuza*.
And that's how you obtain 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.
