To unlock Kaito in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, you must complete a specific combat encounter during the game's progression. This involves confronting and defeating a group of Yakuza who are holding him captive.
Unlocking Kaito: The Combat Encounter
Unlocking Kaito as a companion or ally in Like a Dragon Gaiden is achieved by successfully navigating and winning a particular storyline battle. This pivotal moment occurs when you confront a group of Yakuza who have Kaito captive.
The process involves the following steps:
- Locate the Hideout: You'll need to advance through the game's story until you reach a specific hideout. Once there, head upstairs to access the main area.
- Trigger the Cutscene: Upon entering the hideout's main area, an important cutscene will play, setting the stage for the conflict and revealing Kaito's predicament.
- Engage in Battle: Immediately after the cutscene concludes, you will be thrust into a battle against all the Yakuza present in the room. This is a multi-stage fight where strategic targeting is key.
- Prioritize Smaller Foes: To manage the encounter effectively, focus on taking down the smaller, less resilient goons first. Clearing these out will reduce the incoming damage and allow you to concentrate on the primary threat.
- Confront the Leader: Once the minor enemies are dealt with, turn your attention to the leader of the Yakuza group. This formidable opponent is distinctively tougher and possesses three health bars, indicating a more prolonged fight.
- Defeat the Leader: Successfully defeat the Yakuza leader by depleting all his health bars.
Strategic Tips for the Battle
- Environmental Awareness: Utilize any objects or environmental elements in the room to your advantage during combat.
- Heat Actions: Build up your Heat Gauge to unleash powerful Heat Actions on both the smaller enemies and the leader, which can significantly speed up the battle.
- Healing Items: Ensure you have enough healing items before initiating this encounter, as the leader's multiple health bars can make it a sustained fight.
Upon the defeat of the Yakuza leader, Kaito will be freed, and he will subsequently be unlocked, allowing you to progress further in the narrative with him.
