Embark on your seafaring adventure in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* as Goro Majima, Captain of the Goro Pirates. To bolster your crew, you'll need to recruit skilled members like Surfer Jay from Honolulu, and acquiring the elusive Kraken-Chan plush is key to his recruitment.
How to Recruit Surfer Jay in Pirate Yakuza
Surfer Jay is a valuable recruit found in Honolulu, boasting higher base stats than many early-game crew members. However, securing his allegiance requires some effort and a bit of sailing. The first step is to head to Madlantis to obtain the crucial item, Kraken-Chan.
Upon docking at Madlantis, make your way to the tent opposite the Madlantis Golf Range, where you'll find claw machines and arcade games. Focus on the UFO Catcher Game, which may have the blue plush known as Kraken-Chan. If Kraken-Chan isn't available, approach the attendant under the tent and request a prize switch in the UFO game machine.
Winning Kraken-Chan can be as challenging as real-life claw machines, so ensure you have enough cash for multiple attempts. Strategically use the claw to nudge the plush towards the prize slot, and once you've secured Kraken-Chan, sail back to Honolulu.
Back in Honolulu, head to the Anaconda Shopping Center's Tropical Coco. Use your mini-map to locate the pirate member icon with a bandana and sword, guiding you to Surfer Jay, who can be found in a garage next to his surfboard. Engage in conversation with him, and he'll reveal his personal struggles. When the moment is right, present him with Kraken-Chan to resolve his issues and welcome him to the Goro Pirates.
While Surfer Jay's stats aren't particularly standout for leadership roles, he's essential for completionists. His recruitment process can be tricky, and his dialogue isn't always clear, but with Kraken-Chan in hand, you'll successfully add him to your crew.
And that's how you secure 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.
