In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, players face a mandatory ship upgrade, requiring $10,000 to repair the Goromaru and progress the story. This guide outlines efficient methods to quickly amass the necessary funds.
Chapter 2 introduces the Pirate Coliseum challenge in Madlantis, requiring a ship upgrade. This involves recruiting a shipwright and five crew members, but the $10,000 repair cost presents the main hurdle. Three early-game money-making options exist: bounty hunting, treasure hunting, and Honolulu jobs.
Treasure hunting, while viable, is time-consuming and requires leaving Honolulu. For faster progress, bounty hunting is recommended.
Honolulu bounties offer significant rewards, ranging from $2,000 to a substantial $16,000. However, higher-paying bounties pose a challenge for early-game players. A balanced approach involves tackling lower-difficulty bounties ($2,000-$6,000). These often involve multiple enemies, making Goro's Sea Dog fighting style (for crowd control) and Mad Dog style (for boss fights) crucial.
Bounties are easily identified on the map by a red handcuff icon. Selecting a bounty displays its difficulty, reward, and details.
Completing bounties yields substantial cash, quickly accumulating the $10,000 needed for the Goromaru repair. While combat-intensive, this method ensures rapid story progression.
