"Guide to Recruiting Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza"

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you'll step into the adventurous life of Goro Majima, the Captain of the Goro Pirates, navigating the seas and recruiting a diverse crew. Here's your guide on how to bring Kraken-Chan and Surfer Jay into your pirate fold.

How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza

Surfer Jay is a valuable recruit you can find in Honolulu, offering significantly higher base stats than your earlier crew members. However, recruiting him involves a bit of sailing and a unique item hunt, which you can start by heading to Madlantis.

Once you dock at Madlantis, make your way to the tent directly across from the Madlantis Golf Range. Inside, you'll find a claw machine and arcade games. Focus on the UFO Catcher Game, where you're looking for a blue plush called "Kraken-Chan," which Surfer Jay is fond of. If Kraken-Chan isn't among the prizes, speak to the attendant under the tent and request a change of prizes.

Winning Kraken-Chan from the claw machine might take multiple tries, so ensure you have enough cash on hand. The trick is to use the claw to nudge the plush toward the prize slot until it falls in. Once you've secured Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu.

Upon arriving in Honolulu, head to the Tropical Coco at the Anaconda Shopping Center. You can get there by taking a cab, using your street surfer, or simply running. If locating Surfer Jay proves difficult, check your mini-map for the pirate member symbols marked with a bandana and sword, indicating potential recruits. You'll find Jay in a garage, sitting next to his surfboard.

Engage in conversation with Surfer Jay, and he'll open up about his heartbreak and relationship issues. When the moment is right, present him with Kraken-Chan. This gesture will resolve his troubles and convince him to join your crew, revealing his base stats. While Surfer Jay doesn't offer standout stats or special perks as a First Mate or Boarding Squad Leader, he's an essential recruit for those aiming to complete *Pirate Yakuza*.

And that's how you secure Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
