Whispers of the Underworld (Substory #36) Walkthrough
In the hilarious and emotional game, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, our beloved protagonist Ichiban Kasuga can embark on the exciting substory called “Whispers of the Underworld” in Isezaki Ijincho during Chapter 9. But here’s the catch, Ichiban needs to level up his personality stats and unlock a secret location before he can dive into this enticing adventure.
To trigger this substory, Ichiban must have at least Confidence Lv. 4 in his personality stats. After reaching this level, he needs to visit the iconic Kinka Bridge and unlock the mysterious Gambling Hall. Only then can he speak with the ever-charming Iroha at the Survive Bar to kickstart this mind-blowing substory. Talk about building up the anticipation!
Now, increasing Ichiban’s Confidence level won’t be a walk in the park. He needs to channel his inner confidence by giving bold and audacious answers during dialogues. Additionally, he can also boost his Confidence by taking tests at Ounabara Vocational School or completing tasks in Part-Time Hero. It’s time to unleash your confidence, baby!
But hold your horses, we haven’t dived into the details of this stylish and thrilling substory yet. What’s in store for Ichiban, you ask? Well, let me guide you!
Unlocking Access to the Gambling Hall
By the time Chapter 9 rolls in, Ichiban should make sure he has unlocked access to the Gambling Hall in the bustling Isezaki Ijincho. If not, he can hop on a taxi to the Yokohama Blvd Residential District and quickly make his way to the ladder at Kinka Bridge. Trust me, it’s worth the ride!
On that charming bridge, Ichiban will stumble upon two fellas who hold the key to his next adventure. With their magical words, they will grant Ichiban access to a ladder leading down the sewers and into the thrilling underground Gambling Hall. Prepare yourself for some high-stakes fun!
Iroha’s Whispers
Now, it’s time for Ichiban to make his way to the lively Survive Bar and have a little chat with the gorgeous Iroha. She tantalizingly shares more about a rumor she mentioned in a previous chapter. Ichiban, being the lovable scatterbrain that he is, can’t quite recall what she’s talking about. But fear not, dear players, as Iroha reveals this juicy tidbit: there’s a shipping company called Zhou Long Distribution located on Ijin Street, just waiting to be explored.
The Correct Password, Please!
Oh, what’s this? Iroha has even more surprises for Ichiban! She tantalizingly informs him that if he provides the correct password, he’ll gain access to a secret weapons shop. Yes, you heard it right – a weapons shop! This substory, aptly titled “Whispers of the Underworld,” kicks off in full swing, with Ichiban’s curiosity piqued by the potential illegality lurking within those hidden walls. Out of sheer excitement, Ichiban eagerly asks Iroha for the password, which she recalls as “Lau Chau Chau Ya.” Oh, the thrill of a secret password!
Zhou Long Distribution – A Den of Mystery
With the password in hand, Ichiban makes his way to the substory map marker on Ijin Street, located in the charming Restaurant Row district of Isezaki Ijincho. And lo and behold, there it is – the tiny Zhou Long Distribution storefront. Our courageous hero confidently recites the password to the employee at the front desk. What happens next, you ask? Get ready for a battle of epic proportions!
Showdown at Kinka Bridge
As Ichiban waits outside, eager to explore the forbidden merchandise within, three employees emerge, demanding he prove his worth by defeating them in battle. It’s time to unleash Ichiban’s fighting prowess and show these employees who’s boss. Kick, punch, throw – leave no stone unturned in this thrilling encounter!
A Mysterious Meetup
After emerging victorious, a familiar face named Chau appears and invites Ichiban to meet him near the enchanting Kinka Bridge, alongside the river’s edge. Excitement fills the air as Ichiban retraces his steps back to that iconic ladder at the eastern end of the bridge, right across from Kinka Pharmacy. But this time, instead of venturing into the sewers, he needs to have a chat with Chau Ka Long, who eagerly awaits him across from the entrance. What secrets will be revealed in this intriguing encounter?
Unlocking Chau Ka Long as a Poundmate
To engage in a delightful conversation with Chau Ka Long, Ichiban must reach the required Confidence Lv. 7. Once achieved, Ichiban will have the chance to peruse his wares at Chau’s Armory. But here’s the kicker, he doesn’t need to make any purchases, folks! Just finish the discussion, and Ichiban can continue his thrilling journey through the underworld.
Substory Completion and Beyond
As with many other fascinating substories in the Yakuza games, triggering the next dialogue cutscene requires Ichiban to travel a short distance from Chau. Whether it’s heading to and from the Gambling Hall or going back up the ladder, a chat map marker will appear, guiding Ichiban on his path. Then, with bated breath, Ichiban returns to Chau Ka Long for an engaging conversation, marking the completion of the legendary substory, “Whispers of the Underworld.” And as a bonus, he unlocks the enigmatic Chau Ka Long as a Poundmate. Oh, the alliances we make in the gaming world!
