How To Get Kraken-Chan and Recruit Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Embark on a thrilling adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, where you step into the pirate boots of Goro Majima, Captain of the Goro Pirates. As you navigate the seas, recruiting a robust crew is crucial, and here's how you can secure Kraken-Chan and enlist Surfer Jay to join your ranks.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay, found in Honolulu, is a valuable recruit for your crew due to his superior base stats compared to earlier members. His recruitment process, however, involves a bit of sailing and patience. For ease, start your journey at Madlantis to obtain the key item needed to win Surfer Jay's allegiance.

Upon docking at Madlantis, head 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 Surfer Jay covets. If Kraken-Chan isn't currently a prize, kindly request the attendant to refresh the machine's offerings.

Winning Kraken-Chan from the UFO Catcher can be challenging, much like real-life claw machines. Ensure you have ample cash for multiple attempts. Strategically use the claw to nudge the plush towards the prize chute, eventually securing it in your inventory. Once Kraken-Chan is yours, set sail back to Honolulu to find Surfer Jay.

Upon arriving in Honolulu, make your way to the Tropical Coco at the Anaconda Shopping Center. Use your mini-map to locate pirate recruitment symbols, which will lead you to Surfer Jay, lounging near his surfboard in a garage. Engage in conversation with him to uncover his personal struggles with heartbreak and relationships.

It turns out, Kraken-Chan is the missing piece to help Surfer Jay overcome his romantic woes and join the Goro Pirates. When the moment comes, present the plush to him. He'll gratefully accept, and his base stats will be added to your crew. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer unique perks as First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, his recruitment is essential for completionists and adds to the rich tapestry of *Pirate Yakuza*.

And that's the strategy to obtain Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.

*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
