Welcome back, Yakuza fans! Kazuma Kiryu's journey to uncover the truth about Haruka and Haruto is getting intense. Chapter 7: Heihaizi is where the Dragon of Dojima dives head-first into the dark secrets of Kamurocho’s underworld, introducing new allies and testing your combat skills in tight spaces.
This chapter sets the stage for the rest of the game, so make sure you’re fully stocked on healing items and ready to brawl. Let's get straight into the action with this step-by-step guide!
Part 1: New Allies and Kamurocho Operations
The chapter begins with Kiryu back in Kamurocho. Before following the main story marker (pink dot), this is a great time to take on some side content, especially if you need to stock up on experience or money.
Clan Creator Unlocked: Approach the elevator on the ground floor of New Serena. A cutscene with Joe will trigger, officially unlocking the Clan Creator minigame's base of operations in Kamurocho (at a restaurant near the Millennium Tower). You aren't required to start a mission immediately.
The Sewer Shortcut: When you’re ready, follow the pink marker to the Children's Park in the northwest. Enter the manhole to descend into the sewer.
Small Fight: You'll be attacked by a small group of enemies near Akiyama's tent. Defeat them to proceed.
The APA Hotel: After leaving the sewer (through the newly opened exit), Kiryu will get a call. The pink dot will then lead you to the APA Hotel near Theater Square. Go inside, use the elevator to reach the 6th floor, and follow the marker for a story cutscene.
Part 2: Infiltration of Little Asia
This section is a stealth and combat mix, featuring the long-awaited return of fan-favorite Shun Akiyama!
💥 Stealth Sequence with Akiyama
Meet Akiyama: The pink dot will lead you to Little Asia. Akiyama will join you here, and the plan is to sneak into the hideout.
Follow Commands: You must follow Akiyama's instructions exactly. He will lead the way, and sometimes he will tell you to wait before moving past an enemy. Pay attention to the on-screen prompts and his dialogue!
The Butcher, Cao: You will eventually hide behind a large butcher named Cao. Akiyama will try to encourage stealth, but a scripted event will trigger a fight anyway!
❄️ Boss Fight: Cao (First Encounter)
Cao is a tough, large opponent with a fast, chopping knife attack.
Location: This fight takes place in a walk-in freezer, which is a small, narrow space.
Strategy: Your greatest asset here is Akiyama. Let him draw Cao's attention. Akiyama is smart and will try to attack Cao from behind.
Dodge and Wait: Keep your distance and quick-step laterally to avoid Cao's slashes. Don't commit to long combos if he's facing you.
Punish from Behind: When Cao turns his attention to Akiyama, unleash a quick combo or a powerful Heat Action (Extreme Heat Mode is great here) to punish him from behind.
Don't Overcommit: Cao recovers quickly, so save your heavy attacks for when he's completely distracted by your ally.
Part 3: The Final Showdown
After the fight with Cao, a cutscene will force Kiryu to jump out a window and traverse an exterior vent system alone. The path is linear.
🏢 Office Brawl and Second Cao Fight
Vents and Offices: Follow the linear path forward until you re-enter an office building.
Cao Again: Out of nowhere, Cao (somehow recovered and teleported!) will attack you again in the office.
Strategy: This is a slightly different setup as you're alone. The desks in the middle of the room are your main obstacle. Avoid being cornered in the small, open areas between the desks. Stick to a dodge-and-quick-combo strategy until you put him down for good.
🍽️ Restaurant Battle and Boss: Ed
Rejoin Allies: Pink markers will guide you out of the office and up a stairwell. After a cutscene, you will be joined by all your allies.
Final Room: Follow the marker into the restaurant at the top of Little Asia, triggering the final confrontation of the chapter against the Saio Triad, led by Ed.
Location: This battle is against Ed and many Triad members, taking place on a restaurant floor filled with chairs.
Strategy: Forget finesse—use chairs!
Weaponize Everything: Ed's health isn't huge, and his knife slashes can be hard to block, but he cannot block a thrown object. Immediately grab a chair and swing away at Ed.
Keep Swinging: Once the chair breaks, run and grab another one. Use the furniture to your advantage for massive damage.
Reinforcements: Once Ed's health drops low (around 25%), reinforcements will arrive for both sides. At this point, you can continue using chairs or switch to a grab and throw strategy (Circle button), aiming Ed into the largest cluster of his minions for maximum chaos.
Defeating Ed and his crew concludes one of the most action-packed chapters of Yakuza 6!
🐈 Sub Story 21: Look What The Dragon Dragged In
This substory is unlocked in Chapter 1 and is very quick, immediately unlocking the ability to find and rescue stray cats for the Nyan Nyan Café.
Go to Nyan Nyan Café: Head to the café on Senryo Avenue in Kamurocho. It's located up a set of stairs on the south-eastern side of the main area.
Talk to the Manager: Enter the café and speak with the manager.
Agree to Help: He will ask Kiryu for help in locating stray cats for the café.
Completion: Simply agree to help him. The substory is completed right after this, and you'll unlock the ability to find the 19 stray cats scattered around Kamurocho and Onomichi to bring back to the café.
📞 Sub Story 11: Favor For An Old Friend
This substory involves Kiryu's long-time friend, Detective Date, and is unlocked around Chapter 6 (after the battle in Stardust).
Receive a Text Message: Walk around the area of East Shichifuku Street and North Senryo Avenue in Kamurocho (near the corner where they intersect). You will receive a text message from Date.
Go to Poppo: Head to the Poppo convenience store on Tenkaichi Street.
Buy Prepaid Cards: Talk to the employee and buy ¥50,000 worth of prepaid cards.
Conversation: During the subsequent conversation with the employee, choose these dialogue options:
"Ask why he wants them"
"Pry further"
"Pry even further"
Go to the Roof: Head to the roof of the Senryyo Building (just south of the Poppo on Tenkaichi St.).
Win the Fight: You'll confront the people involved in the scam. Defeat the enemies to finish the substory.
💪 Sub Story 23: RIZAP Workout Challenge
This substory unlocks the RIZAP Gym mini-game, which is a repeatable activity to earn bonus experience. The substory itself is available from Chapter 1.
Locate RIZAP: Go to the RIZAP Gym entrance, which is on Theater Square in Kamurocho, near where Mach Bowl used to be in previous games. You'll see two men talking, triggering the introduction.
Enroll: Talk to the trainer inside and choose the option to enroll (it's free).
Complete a Session: Talk to the trainer again and choose to Do Training.
Select and complete two different exercises (e.g., Bench Press, Squats, etc.). The mini-games involve timed button presses or mashing. Getting a good rank (S or A) helps.
After the exercises, the trainer, Makuta, will send an email with a vague hint about a meal you should eat next to maximize experience gain (e.g., "high-quality protein," "rice dish topped with thin pork slices").
Eat the Correct Meal: Use the hint to find the correct meal at a restaurant in Kamurocho (it will not be a convenience store item).
Crucially, only order and eat the correct item. If you eat anything else at the same time, it won't count.
Get Results: Return to RIZAP and talk to Makuta for your evaluation.
Run into Sodachi: When you leave RIZAP after the evaluation, you will run into Sodachi (Saejima's former dojo student).
Fight Sodachi: You'll be challenged to a fight, which you must win.
Completion: Winning the fight against Sodachi completes the substory. Sodachi will then appear on the streets of Kamurocho (and through the Troublr app) for further repeatable fights, which are part of his own side story arc.
