Embark on a thrilling pirate adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, where you step into the shoes of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you navigate the high seas, recruiting diverse crew members is key to strengthening your team. Here's a detailed guide on how to recruit the unique characters Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay into your crew.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay, a formidable recruit found in Honolulu, is a valuable addition to your pirate crew. With base stats that surpass those of many early-game members, acquiring him will significantly boost your team's capabilities. However, recruiting Surfer Jay involves a bit of a journey and a specific item.
Begin your quest by setting sail to Madlantis. Upon docking, head straight to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find a variety of arcade games, including the UFO Catcher Game. Your target here is the blue plush known as "Kraken-Chan," which is crucial for recruiting Surfer Jay. If Kraken-Chan isn't among the prizes, politely ask the attendant under the tent to refresh the UFO game's offerings.

Winning Kraken-Chan from the UFO Catcher Game can be challenging, akin to real-life claw machines. Ensure you have sufficient in-game currency before you start. The trick is to nudge the plush towards the prize slot until it drops in. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, return to your ship, the Goromaru, and sail back to Honolulu.
In Honolulu, make your way to the Anaconda Shopping Center and locate Tropical Coco. Use your mini-map to spot the pirate recruit symbol, which will lead you to Surfer Jay lounging in a garage beside his surfboard. Engage him in conversation, and he'll share his woes about heartbreak and relationship issues. When the moment is right, present him with Kraken-Chan. This gesture will resolve his troubles, and Surfer Jay will gladly join your crew, displaying his base stats upon recruitment.
While Surfer Jay's stats might not be exceptionally unique, his recruitment is essential for completionists of *Pirate Yakuza*. His dialogue can be a bit vague, making the quest for the specific plush somewhat challenging.
And there you have it—the steps to find Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay into your crew in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
