The dramatic Prologue has set the stage: Kazuma Kiryu is a free man, but his peace is shattered by Haruka's tragic accident and the mystery of baby Haruto. Now, the Dragon of Dojima must return to the concrete jungle of Kamurocho to seek answers!
This detailed guide will walk you through Chapter 1: The Price of Freedom and Chapter 2: Life Blooms Anew, marking your true beginning in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life.
🐲 Chapter 1: The Price of Freedom
This chapter reintroduces Kiryu to the open-world mechanics, combat, and the familiar, yet changed, streets of Kamurocho. The focus is simple: Find the truth about Haruka and Haruto.
👥 Key Characters Involved
Kazuma Kiryu: The sole playable protagonist.
Makoto Date: His connection to the police and the first source of information.
Shun Akiyama: The charismatic moneylender; Kiryu's key ally in Kamurocho.
Ed (Boss): A Triad thug who serves as the chapter's final boss.
📝 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Phase 1: Return to Kamurocho
Search Morning Glory: The chapter starts in Okinawa. Speak to all the children at the Morning Glory Orphanage (indicated by blue dots on the mini-map) to learn that Haruka left without a trace.
Call Akiyama: Use the phone in the dining room to try and call Shun Akiyama (no luck). Kiryu resolves to head to Kamurocho.
Meet Date: Once in Kamurocho, Kiryu is confined to a small area of Tenkaichi Street. Head toward the New Serena building (marked by a pink dot). Date calls out to you, bringing you up to speed on the situation.
Sky Finance Check: Date suggests checking Akiyama's office. Head to the rear of the building and climb the fire escape to Sky Finance. Kiryu finds it locked, confirming Akiyama is not there.
Phase 2: The Kamurocho Investigation
Freedom & Combat: The barrier on Tenkaichi Alley is now removed. Head east to Nakamichi Street, where you'll encounter a group of street thugs. This serves as your combat tutorial. Use this time to get comfortable with the new Dragon Engine fighting mechanics.
Tip: Experiment with the new seamless battle transitions and using environmental objects!
New Serena Bar: Kiryu decides to check the New Serena Bar for info. The mama-san has no useful leads.
Search for Akiyama:
Head to the bar Bantam (east of Millennium Tower) and talk to the man outside.
Approach the southern entrance of Little Asia (now a burned-out area). You’ll be confronted by Triad punks and must defeat them.
Homeless Network: As you approach the New Serena alley, you'll be ambushed by more Triad Thugs. Defeat them to rescue a man who reveals Akiyama has been hanging out with the homeless near Children's Park.
Bento Quest: Go to Children's Park (northwest Kamurocho) and speak to the seated homeless man. He knows where Akiyama is but wants a Bento Lunch Set.
Head to the nearest Poppo convenience store (marked by a pink dot, likely nearby on the same block), buy the Bento Lunch Set, and return it to the man.
Phase 3: The Confrontation
Meet Akiyama: The homeless man reveals Akiyama is right beneath your feet. Head down the manhole to find Akiyama in a secret underground area. After an emotional reunion, Akiyama confirms he has no information on Haruka.
Boss Fight: Ed: Immediately following the cutscene, you are attacked by the large Triad Member, Ed, and his thugs.
Strategy: Focus on taking out the smaller thugs first to avoid being surrounded. Use your Extreme Heat Mode (unlocked in this fight) to deal massive damage to Ed. Be prepared for his charge attack when his health is low—dodge out of the way, then counterattack!
Chapter End: After defeating Ed, Kiryu gets a call from Date: Haruka has been moved to Touto Hospital. Take a nearby taxi to the hospital to end the chapter.
👶 Chapter 2: Life Blooms Anew
The investigation continues, shifting focus to the larger conspiracy surrounding the Tojo Clan and foreign powers in Kamurocho.
👥 Key Characters Involved
Kazuma Kiryu: The relentless investigator.
Shun Akiyama: Joins Kiryu in the fight for truth.
The Baby Broker: A man who Kiryu chases down for information.
Daigo Dojima (Mentioned/Cutscene): The Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan.
Shintaro Kazama (Mentioned): Kiryu's adoptive father.
Boss Fight: Shun Akiyama (a misunderstanding, not an actual antagonist).
📝 Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Phase 1: Tracing the Baby Broker
Hospital News: The chapter begins with a cutscene at the hospital. Kiryu learns more about the circumstances of Haruto's discovery.
The Chase: You regain control and must immediately chase a man in a grey jacket and hat (the Baby Broker).
Action: Follow the man through the streets. He is marked by a blue dot. The chase is scripted to allow you to keep up, but losing sight of him will fail the mission.
Interrogation: Catching the man triggers a cutscene where he reveals he was acting on behalf of someone else to get Haruto.
Phase 2: Factions and Trouble
Tojo Clan Headquarters: The plot thickens. You'll need to visit the Tojo Clan HQ. Use any taxi (marked by four pink dots) to travel there.
Event: The entire visit is a cutscene. Kiryu learns the state of the Tojo Clan is in turmoil, largely due to the power vacuum created by the absence of Chairman Daigo Dojima.
New Serena Bar (Part 2): After the Tojo HQ scene, head back to the New Serena bar. Another cutscene plays out.
Street Fight: Immediately after leaving the bar, you'll be attacked by random thugs. Defeat them to trigger a brief cutscene introducing the "Rainmaker" (Kazuchika Okada from NJPW).
Troublr Missions Unlocked: The next pink dot objective (located north of New Serena) triggers a cutscene that unlocks Troublr Missions (small, quick missions on your in-game phone).
—“Haruka’s Biggest Fan” and “I, Hiji”—stand out for their charm and humor. Here’s a quick walkthrough for both.
Haruka’s Biggest Fan (Substory #3)
Location: Children’s Park, Kamurocho
When: Chapter 1
Talk to Ayaka, a young girl who adores Haruka. She asks for Haruka merchandise. Visit Don Quijote, then Club SEGA (answer “So Much More!” during the quiz), and finally Ebisu Pawn to buy a Haruka photo for ¥50,000. If it’s sold out, defeat the muggers who stole it to get it free.
Return to Ayaka with the photo, then leave and revisit the park once the icon reappears. You’ll receive a sweet drawing from her as thanks. This touching quest connects Kiryu’s story to Haruka’s idol fame and rewards players with XP and a sentimental moment.
I, Hiji (Substory #5)
Location: Near Café Alps, Kamurocho
When: Chapter 1
A man offers to install a strange app called Hiji. Accept it and head to Children’s Park, where using the app triggers an event leading to a fight with a drunk harasser. Defeat him, then return to the man to finish the substory.
Quick, funny, and slightly absurd, “I, Hiji” is classic Yakuza weirdness at its best.
Tips
-
Both substories can be completed early for easy XP and progress toward the “Story of My Life” trophy.
-
If an NPC doesn’t appear, leave Kamurocho or progress the story slightly before returning.
Phase 3: Final Confrontation and Departure
The Clue: Wander Kamurocho for a minute or so until Kiryu receives a phone call directing him back to the hospital.
Warning: Once you proceed past this point, you will be leaving Kamurocho for a significant portion of the game. Be sure to complete any available Substories, Stock up on items, and level up your stats!
Return to the Hospital: Use a taxi to return to Touto Hospital. You'll be watching a couple of cutscenes that lead to a dramatic misunderstanding.
Boss Fight: Shun Akiyama (Unarmed): Akiyama is led to believe Kiryu has done something to Haruto and you must fight him.
Strategy: The fight is in a small nursery. Akiyama is fast and hits hard. Focus on quick combos, dodging, and utilizing Heat Actions (Grab > Throwing him into the wall/crib) to keep him off balance. Don't hold back; he's surprisingly tough!
Chapter End: After the fight, the misunderstanding is resolved. Kiryu and Akiyama realize they must work together. The chapter concludes with Kiryu's new resolve to take Haruto to Onomichi Jingaicho, Hiroshima, to uncover the truth of Haruka’s past three years.
