Yakuza: Dead Souls

This is story related and cannot be missed. You will be playing as Ryuji Goda in Part III.

Chapter 2 Making your way to Asia - This area is of no concern in Normal or Hard difficulties, but is a major concern in Extra Hard and Dead Souls mode. After making your way out of the Champion District, you find yourself on Pink St. surrounded by Dipterras and Fatties on the left and right. Worse, zombies will emerge and begin to mob you, including SDF zombies. If you are unprepared you can get knocked down promptly and find your face permanently glued to the floor, as the SDF zombies stomp on you and prevent you from getting up at every turn. The Grenade Launcher (or Rocket Launcher) and lots of Healing Items is extremely crucial here.


Chapter 3 Boss Fight - The first phase of the battle starts with Pops striking at you with its tentacles from the middle of the room. You need to hit the red spots on 4 of tentacles to initiate a cutscene, and then the next phase starts. All you need in the second phase is shoot Pops whenever you have the chance and move out of the way when you see a barrage of tentacles emerge from the ground heading your way. Once you have reduced Pops’ health to the final drop, you need to take him down using a Heat Snipe the moment he emerges from the ground. At this point you have an infinite Heat Gauge, and missing the QTE doesn’t do any damage to you so can keep trying without harm.

Dead Souls difficulty - While on the stage and facing the boss, head to the corner on your left and stand in front of a speaker here. Most of the tentacle strikes in the first phase will miss you and giving you time to adjust your aim.
