Yakuza 0 Substories Guide – Kazuma Kiryu

Another available during Chapter 2 day hours. Head to the location and get close enough to get this Substory. During the Substory you will be given a variety of choices for dialogue options. I chose the following

• Who gave you permission to speak, pig?!?
• I want to be humiliated
• I bet you’d like that, you pervert!
• They’re watching you get humiliated

You get a Fur Belly Warmer

This Sidestory becomes available in Chapter 2, after you rest at Kiryu’s house and it becomes daytime. When you return to town check Shichifuku Street, near the save point. You’ll see a priest-looking person arguing with a young girl. Get close to start this Substory.

Head to the objective marker location on the map and speak with the young girl. You get various choices during the conversation, below is a list of the choices I made.

• This is all new to me
• Top
• Can you admit you sell your underwear

Head to the next objective area. You need to find Sachiko. The items she wears may change each playthrough and if you get it wrong you have to pay 10,000 Yen. Look for the girl with long black hair and the blue neck tie.

This Substory can be unlocked inside the Maharaja night club. I’m not entirely sure what triggered it but I got 2/3 stars on Normal for I’m Gonna Make Her Mine and then 3/3 on Easy. I was approached after the song. Simply beat the guy in a dance-off to complete this Substory.

This Substory is directly tied to the Pocket Circuit Fighters friendship. When you keep racing in Pocket Circuits you increase your friendship with Pocket Circuit Fighter. After the children tease him for being a virgin, head back inside. Head towards the back of the room and a small child will challenge you to a race. Win the race to complete this Substory.

You get a Blue Bolt decal for completing the Substory.

Another Sidestory that becomes available during Chapter 2. Speak to Officer Stop-and-Search Kikuchi to begin and end the Substory. I gave him some tissues when he asked what I was carrying. Speaking with Kikuchi also unlocks him as a friend.

This is another simple Substory mission. Simply head to the area marked on the map. It must be daytime as it’s closed at night sometimes. Speak with the lady outside before heading inside to participate in a Pocket Circuit race. Complete the race and you will complete this Substory as well as unlocking a new friend.

You can’t really miss this mission. After you give the bums the booze, Bacchus will appear and ask you to come talk to him in the alley. Help him out of his jam and he will teach you new Brawler skills.

This Substory is also available during Chapter 2 although its location varies. You need to find Mr Shakedown – Egashira. For me he was laying around near the Stop-and-Search police officer. You can rob from his body if he’s asleep, once he wakes you get given this Substory. You have to defeat him to complete this Substory.

He hits hard but using the Rush abilities make this fight quite easy. Wait for him to charge, hit him in the back and repeat.

This quest is available during Chapter 2 but you must be during the 2nd night scene. Progress through until you are gathering the different types of alcohol for the homeless people. It is available then. Head to the location marked on the map above, you will see a group of people in a queue. Speak to the young kid at the back and then enter the store, before leaving again.

When you leave you will notice the queue is gone. Check nearby for the young kid again and come to his defense. Follow the obvious trail.

You get a Sunburst as a reward (A sword weapon)

When you return to Kamurocho during Chapter 5. Head to the location marked above and speak with Mr Libido to start and complete the Substory. This also options up a friendship option.

Head to the Teltel Boys Club and pay to do the phone dating mini-game. One of the girls you can meet is Ayaka. Make sure you try each of the 3 packages in Teltel Boys Club, each is a different woman. She is wearing purple and has long hair. When you get to the date, inspect the girls closer and you’ll see a 3rd girl. The furthest girl is Ayaka.

This is another one at the Teltel Boys Club dating game. Complete the dating mini-game to get the girl on a date. It’s a no show so the Substory is completed straighta way.

Another one from the Teltel Boys Club dating game. As before, complete the mini-game and go on the date.

This quest opens in Chapter 6. Once you have progressed through the story until you’re told to go to the Kamuro Shopping Area, head to the Sugita Building as highlighted above. Once inside you’ll listen to the radio and open this Substory.

Interact with the desk and write a story based on a Substory to submit to the radio station. I wrote about the Fortune-Teller and it was read out on radio, this completes this Substory.

This is a direct follow-on from Kazuma Kiryu Substory #26 – Postcard Pro Kiryu. You need to have a 3rd story read out on the radio. For my third story I chose to write about The Miracle Walk. I did try several others that didn’t work so it may be related to the number you have to submit, instead of the actual story. You get a pair of Hercules Gloves for completing this Substory.

Head to the location on the map above. Once you arrive, search for a lady curled up on the floor. You need to give her any kind of healing item to get her on her feet and begin this Substory. She gives you a secret wallet and asks you to go and find some pizza.

Head to the next objective marker, Smile Burger. It’s located a couple blocks to the South West. Once you get the pizza you only have 90 seconds to return to Samantha so make sure you memorize her location above before running with the pizza. Return with the pizza to complete the Substory.

Head to the bar located at the marker above. It’s only open during the night time so make sure to visit when it’s open. Head inside and you’ll find a reporter, speak with Kasuga to begin this Substory. When you leave the bar you will need to wait a short time before you can return. Do other things and just check for the ! periodically. Once it appears head back to the bar to speak with Kasuga. You get a 9mm Automatic Pistol as a reward for protecting him.

Head to the location marked on the map above and speak to the man standing near the parked car and bike. He will inform you that someone from the Dojima family wants to meet you. It’s a simple Substory with a few combat scenes.

This Substory becomes available once you have dominated the Leisure King Area and defeated The Leisure King. Head to the area marked above and you’ll overhear two people talking about recruiting. Once you pick up the Substory return to the office and speak with the secretary. Return after some time and she’ll have a candidate. The first one is a scam so don’t recruit them. After that, the Substory is complete.

A follow on from Kazuma Kiryu Substory #16 – Help Wanted Again. Whilst in the interview the answers are “Legal Studies” ask about his dining knowledge and then dining scene.

This Substory is available from the Real Estate office. You need to complete the Leisure King and Electronics King areas first. Acquire all properties and defeat both in battle. The next time you return to the office you will get a phone call regarding a tax inspection. Leave the office and you’ll bump into the tax inspector. Once you’re inside the other office search the corner for some VHS tapes and say to Marui that the presence is out of place. During the conversation choose the following options You have great taste in clothes and A house, maybe? and ask for a hand shake.

That ends this Substory. Agent Marui will join your team as an Advisor. You also get a Trouble Finder as a reward

This is a follow on from Kazuma Kiryu Substory #38 – Gift of Love. Return to the Pocket Circuit racing track after some time and she should have another Substory for you. You need to defeat another person in a Pocket Circuit race. Take him down to complete the Substory.

This is a follow on from the Kazuma Kiryu Substory #42 – The Greatest Glory Substory. The final showdown. You will need to defeat Pocket Circuit Fighter to complete this Substory. This was the only Substory in the Pocket Circuit line that I struggled with. I tried probably close to 20 different configurations but it’s also about the actual racing, while the others aren’t. Save your boost for the part after the jump. Below is a screenshot of my Pocket Circuit car with the specs I used to beat him. The items equipped are in the big list in the lower right corner.

This Substory is only available after you progress through Chapter 6. Complete the objective to visit the Empty Lot and you’ll meet a rich guy afterwards. Fukushima will now head to the Vincent Bar in the North East of the map. Head there and speak with him to complete this Substory. You can now send money between the 2 main characters.

This Substory is available much earlier but I didn’t get around to it. Head to the docks, using any Taxi, and speak with Miss Tatsu there to begin your training. Once you’ve spoken to her complete her first training mission and you’ll complete the Substory.

Head to this location in Chapter 10. You’ll be asked to fill in for a telephone call. When prompted answer with Nice Voice, Yes We’re A Family and Manhood. Following the conversation head to the park in the North East and go to the fountain. You’ll have to defeat a kidnapper and free a child. You get a Super Spicy Knife.

Head to the location marked on the map above. There’s a poster on the wall near a trash can. Read the poster to begin this Subquest. Simply head to the objective. You’ll have to complete a fight with dropping HP so bring some healing items with you.

This is another Substory found within the Teltel Boys Club. You need to get Maria on a date. She wears a white bikini and sounds old. She has short hair and is wearing purple clothes. There’s no puzzle to this one, just finish the date and you complete the Substory.

The Premium Adventure option is available when you complete the game. It basically takes you back into the world so you can free roam and complete anything you’ve missed. It is possible to get this final Substory before this point but it’s likely you won’t have the requirements until this point. In order to get this Substory you have to complete EVERY other Substory with Kiryu.

SAVE. Save before you do this fight. It’s long, frustrating and very difficult. If you fail and don’t want to keep trying your options are to reload or quit, so be sure to save directly before the fight.

You will get a series of messages on your Pager. Following that take a Taxi to the Bullfighter Arena.

This fight is probably the most difficult in the game. You want to bring a full inventory of items that heal as much as possible and provide as much Heat as possible. You fight a single enemy with about 8 bars of HP and a cannon that fires single shot, area of effect explosions and a beam blast that is a one hit kill. The only solution I found to defeating the Mysterious Man, So Amon, is the Super Spicy Knife – which you can buy if you’ve discovered the recipe.

Hit him once with the knife, that sets him on fire and knocks him to the floor. Switch to another stance and hit him with Triangle while he’s down to build up Heat. Once you have 1-1.5 bars of Heat, switch back to the knife and use Triangle for a stabbing attack. Rinse and repeat.

Halfway through the fight he loses the cannon and switches to a similar fight style to Mr Shakedown. Items will be dropped from a helicopter, avoid them as best you can. Sometimes a small bottle that will drop, grab that and you will become invincible.
