Maximize your pirate crew in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth for faster story progression! This guide focuses on early-game recruitment, helping you overcome the initial hurdle of needing five crew members and $10,000 in ship repairs to advance.
During Chapter 2, after learning about the betrayal that shattered your original crew, you'll need to upgrade your ship and recruit. The Madlantis Naval Coliseum is key, but first, you need to bolster your ranks. Here are five easily recruited crew members:
Early-Game Crew Recruitment in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Nickelle Kidman
This playful nod to Nicole Kidman is an actress found near Honolulu's beach. All you need is a two-star crew rating, easily achieved by completing early main story missions, treasure hunting, or engaging in sea battles.
Hammerhead
Located on the second floor of Honolulu's shopping center, Hammerhead requires a brawl. He's a relatively easy fight, making him a quick addition to your crew.
Kenzo
This dockhand in Honolulu's beach area can be recruited by offering raw materials (easily gathered during exploration) or a small sum of money (easily earned from treasure).
Lucas
Found in Madlantis, Lucas presents another straightforward fistfight. While using a melee weapon, he's manageable after facing earlier game challenges.
Obispo
Recruit Obispo by simply eating at his Honolulu restaurant five times. Fighting nearby enemies to deplete your health before each meal speeds up this process.
While stronger crew members await, these five provide the quickest path to progressing the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth story. Focus on them first, then expand your crew later with more challenging recruits.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
