In Like a Dragon: Ishin, you can complete various substories for rewards and virtue points. This guide covers the 4 Gion substories!
Finders Weepers
Obtained: Interact with the book lying on the ground next to a gate in the southeastern part of the area.
When you pick up the book, you’ll discover it’s a diary. Peek inside to be posed with a question. The correct answers are listed below. Once you respond, physically leave Gion then return to check on the diary. You’ll be presented with a new question!
- All love is precious.
- Try getting to know him.
- Better to be simple and direct.
After responding with the last answer, return one more time and approach the two people in front of the shrine. When the cutscene finishes, so will the substory.
Soft and Supple
Obtained: Speak with the man near the Palanquin Bearers in the northern part of the area
When you’re ready, tell him “Fine” to meet a gorgeous creature. You’ll need to choose between the following options:
- Someone diligent and tireless.
- Someone deft at giving pleasure.
- Someone with a perfect body.
You’re option doesn’t matter as you’ll be greeted by a sumo wrestler! Surprise!! Not quite what you were thinking, eh? You’ll then be asked to fork over 10 ryo or battle 3 sumo wrestlers. We chose to fight our way out! Afterwards, the substory ended.
Reward: 3 ryo
The Revolutionary Chef
Obtained: Approach the man just west of Kasuga
He’ll want a dish made by your own hand. Head to Ryoma’s villa and scrounge up a dish in your kitchen. Any meal will do. Once you’ve created one, return to the Chef and hand it over to complete the substory.
Reward: Bond with Revolutionary Chef
The Sexy Madam
Obtained: Speak with Sexy Madam outside of Kitchen Aoba.
When you speak with the suggestive lady, give her a cucumber. You can either grow and harvest one at Ryoma’s villa or purchase it. For a listing of where to purchase cucumbers, click here! Once you have a cucumber, hand it to her to complete the substory!
Reward: Vitality Pill and Bond with Sexy Madam
