This chapter introduces the Clan Creator mini-game and involves significant story progression in Onomichi.
📝 Step-by-Step Walkthrough: The Main Story
Phase 1: The Initial Investigation
Meet at the Intersection: Follow the pink dot to the intersection in the southern part of Onomichi. Approaching it triggers a cutscene and a brief, easy fight against a couple of minions.
Clan Creator Tutorial: After a few cutscenes, you'll be taken to the La Pente restaurant in the north end of the city. Here, you'll be introduced to Joe and Shunta and the Clan Creator mini-game begins.
Tutorial Battle: You must complete the first mandatory Clan Creator battle. Follow the on-screen instructions to deploy and use your leaders' special skills to win.
Ambush Fight: After the Clan Creator tutorial, you'll be ambushed by five men, two of whom have pistols.
Strategy: Prioritize the gunners first. Throw a nearby enemy or an object at them to disarm them. This fight is manageable as you'll have an ally helping you.
Phase 2: The Truth and the Takedown
Meeting Kiyomi: Follow the pink dot to the Ropeway Station and take the Ropeway up to the observation area. You'll meet with Kiyomi for a crucial cutscene that reveals more of the truth.
Hirose Family Office: Return to the Hirose Family office for a quick meeting where you'll see a blueprint of a large cruise ship.
Infiltrating the Ship: Go to the next pink dot, which leads to the dock. You'll automatically board the cruise ship and meet up with your allies for a major action sequence.
Ship Interior Brawl (Kikuchi): You and your allies need to systematically clear rooms on multiple floors to find your target.
Room Clearing: The path is largely linear. In the long hall, stick to the left side and kick in all five doors (by pressing $\triangle$ or $Y$) to check the rooms. You'll fight small groups of minions in some of the rooms.
Mid-Boss: You'll encounter a large group of enemies, including a mini-boss named Kikuchi (he has a health bar, but isn't a true boss).
Strategy: Grab one of the beer kegs from the cart you pass before the fight to give yourself an edge. Focus on crowd control and use your Extreme Heat mode to take out the minions quickly before focusing on Kikuchi.
Boss Fight: Kyohei Someya: The path leads you to a large penthouse for the chapter's boss fight.
Fight: Kyohei Someya - This is a one-on-one fight. The room is littered with weapons (chairs, tables, etc.).
Strategy: Use the weapons! Someya is quick to dodge and block standard attacks, but weapons are highly effective. Once the weapons are gone, focus on a cautious counter-attack strategy: wait for him to finish a combo, quickly dodge/quickstep, and unleash your own combo before retreating. Be prepared for his Extreme Heat activation around 55% health.
The chapter ends after the final cutscenes following the fight with Someya.
🏗️ Clan Creator Mini-Game Guide
The Clan Creator mini-game is a real-time strategy (RTS) battle where you deploy units to fight an opposing force, typically to destroy their base or their leaders. It is unlocked as part of the main story in Chapter 5.
📌 Starting Location
Onomichi: You can play Clan Creator at La Pente (the bar where you first unlock it).
Kamurocho: You can play at M Side Cafe.
Access: Talk to Joe, the man in the red jacket. The man in the yellow jacket, Shunta, is for inputting Clan Codes.
⚔️ Gameplay Basics
Objective: The primary goal is usually to defeat the enemy Boss and all Leaders within the time limit.
Deployment Points (DP): You use DP to deploy units. DP regenerates over time and by dealing damage.
Units: You have two main types of units:
| Unit Type | Role & Cost | Key Action |
| Leaders (e.g., Nagumo, Yuta) | High Health, Strong Attacks, Unique Special Skills. Can be re-summoned if defeated. | Use $\triangle$ (or $Y$) to activate their special skill when charged (e.g., healing, area attack). |
| Standard Units (Brawlers, Heavies, etc.) | Low Health, Low Cost, cannot be re-summoned once defeated. | Provides DPS and forms the frontline. |
💡 Core Strategy Tips
Prioritize Leaders: Leaders are your most valuable asset. Keep them alive and use their special skills strategically.
Focus on DPS: Use Standard Units like Gunners and Brawlers to deal heavy damage to the enemy Boss and Leaders.
The Tank & Shield:
Heavy Units are slow but have high defense; use them as a slow-moving shield to protect your more fragile Leaders and Gunner units.
Deploy Heavies first, then your Leaders, and finally your ranged units (Gunners).
Offensive Skills: Many missions require you to quickly take out enemy Leaders. Use Leaders with offensive special skills (like Kiryu, G.O. Tojo, or Date) to damage multiple enemies at once.
Use Clan Codes: To get an immediate advantage, enter Clan Codes by talking to Shunta (yellow jacket) to unlock powerful Leaders from New Japan Pro Wrestling and the Yakuza series (like Majima, Daigo, and Date).
