Welcome to our Like a Dragon Gaiden guide on The Struggling Host Akame Network job request! You can unlock this request once you finish the Liberate the Hammer Man request.

Go see Renji

Head across the street from Ebisu Pawn Sotenbori on E Shofukucho and locate Renji, who will be dressed in a suit. After conversing with him, you will discover that he is eager to become a member of your clan. However, he can only do so once he achieves a top ranking as a host. Since he is unable to reach the top, you will agree to speak with his customers and identify the specific reason.

Ask about Renji

Travel to W Sotenbori St and approach the Stern-Looking Woman, who can be found across from the taxi wearing a long tan coat.

Next, proceed to W Shofukucho near the taxi and locate the Good Humored Woman wearing a green coat. Engage in conversation with her to gather information about Renji.

Afterwards, make your way to the far southwestern corner of Sotenbori where you will find a woman dressed in a blue coat. Speak with her to discover a rumor suggesting Renji’s involvement in a stabbing incident.

Once you have spoken with Akame, head to E Sotenbori St. Look for a woman wearing a gray shirt and engage in a conversation with her to learn that the false rumors about Renji are being spread by other hosts.

The Struggling Host Objective

To locate the host, proceed to Shofukucho and speak with the man situated behind the giant turtles. He will provide you with the name of Itsuki.

After concluding the conversation, head just south of Iwao Bridge and speak with the red-headed man standing behind a sign.

Question Itsuki

Following Akame’s instructions, head just north of Kiss Shot Billiards & Bar to find a man wearing a flashy red suit. Engage in conversation with this person, identified as Itsuki, who will promptly escalate the interaction into a physical altercation.

Report to Renji

After you take him out, report back to Renji, who can be found waiting across from Ebisu Pawn Sotenbori. He won’t believe your claim that Itsuki was spreading rumors so you’ll have to beat it into him! After you defeat him, he’ll join your team and The Struggling Host request will complete. As a reward, you’ll receive 4,000 Akame Network Points.
