This is a side "story" that only takes place in Premium Adventure. As you are free to explore Kamurocho, you are also free to take Haruka around with you wherever you like. She's waiting in Serena for you, so speak to her to take her along. If you want to drop her off, return to Serena and tell her as such. As the two of you walk around, Haruka will come up with requests. Your task is to take her along with you to fulfill those requests. The requests basically come in one of two forms: either take Haruka to a store or restaurant where you can buy her something or take her to a minigame location where you'll have to perform a certain way in a minigame.

If you succeed, your "trust" rank with Haruka will increase, and she'll give you presents for every rank you increase. If you fail a minigame challenge, you can leave and return and you can get another try at it. While going for this achievement try walking with her using

or by slightly holding the left stick forward while she's holding your hand to go for the Hand in Hand achievement for holding her hand for 1km. I will leave a map of all locker key locations at the very bottom of this guide in case you need to know how to get a cheat item for some gambling mini-games.

Here are all the requests in the order you get them:

Protective Amulet - Get one from Don Quijote (You must buy it for her even if you have one on you)
Stamina Royale - Go to Kotobuki Drugs (You must buy it for her even if you have it one on you)
Beef Bowl - Go to Akaushimaru on Taihei Boulevard right by the Millenium tower
Fruit Juice - Get Natchan Orange from the Poppo on Tenkaichi Street
Dog Food - Go to the Poppo on Nakamichi Alley
Oicho-kabu - Earn 300 points in Oicho-kabu at the gambling hall at the lottery stand right by the Millenium Tower
Ramen - Go to Kyushu No. 1 Star on Pink Alley
Roulette - Go to Rune Casino and win 1000 chips (Requires you to complete the price of an F cup sub-story or Yakuza Apprentice II if you drank twice during the price of an F cup sub-story. Make sure you get Haruka's dialogue while the roulette dealer talks to you. If you don't leave the area and come back for it to count towards her trust. Cheat items definitely help with this: Zero Jewel found in Locker I1, the Black Jewel found in Locker H2 and the Red Jewel reward for Substory #14 The Yakuza Hater)
French Wallet - Go to Le Marche on Showa Street East
Cee-lo - Earn 500 points in Cee-lo. Go to the Gambling hall at the lottery stand by the Millennium Tower (cheat items for Cee-lo are the "Trips Yokan", the "1-2-3 Gum", the "All Ones Charm", and the "Piss Mountain Stone", found in Lockers C4, C3, B4, and E3,)
Poker - Go to Fukuma Casino in the underground area of West Park and earn 2000 chips doesn't matter what game type it is. (The cheat item for this game is the "Royal Joker Card", which is in Locker H3)
Darts - Go to Vincent bar at Park Alley and get a score of 200+ in Count Up. (If you lose don't worry the employee will give you new darts if it's your first time. If you're still having problems buy the sniper dart at Ebisu Pawn for 1 million yen)
Stone Cooked Bibimbap - Go to Kanrai on Shichifuku Street East
Shake - Go to Smile Burger on Nakamichi Street
Cho-han - Earn 800 points in Cho-han. Can be found at the gambling hall at the lottery stand by the Millenium Tower. (The cheat items for Cho-han are the "Even Goro's Beads" and the "Lopsided Cigarette". They are found in Lockers E4 and F3 respectively.)
Blackjack - Earn 3,000 chips in Blackjack. You can play this at the Rune Casino or the Fukuma Casino in West Park (The cheat items for Blackjack are the "Blackjack Amulet" and the "Bust Amulet" and can be found in Lockers G3 and G4)
Batting - Get 1,000 points or more on the Normal Course at the Batting Center in the Hotel District.
Three Cheese Carbonara - Pronto on Nakamichi Street during the daytime (Time of day is important for this)
Photo - Photo Booth in Club SEGA, Theater Square
Yakisoba - Go to the Poppo Showa Street store.
Karaoke - Go to Karaokekan on Senryo Avenue and score at least 800 on Haruka's song. Your song isn't necessary.
Casis and Lemon Sherbet - Go to Yoronotaki on Nakamichi Street
Welsh Onion Takoyaki - Go to Gindaco on Taihei Boulevard
Yakisoba Bun - Go to M Store on Shichifuku street (I had some trouble getting the prompt to come up but leaving the store and coming back in fixed it.)
Koi-koi - Earn 1000 points in Koi-koi. Can be played at the Gambling Hall at the lottery ticket booth by Millinieum Tower. (The cheat item for Koi-koi is the "Lucky Hanafuda Card" in Locker H4.)
MesuKing - Go to Club SEGA Nakamichi St. and you'll need to win against Haruka
Awabi - Go to Sushi Gin on Showa West Street
Baby Plushie - Go to Club SEGA Theater Square and nab Haruka a Baby the monkey Plushie.

Gold Plate - Go to Ebisu Pawn (You'll need 100,000 yen)
Baccarat - Go to Fukuma Casino in West Park underground area and win 4,000 chips. (The cheat items in Baccarat are the "PLAYER's Piece" and the "BANKER's Piece", which you get from Lockers G2 and F4)

(Here's an exploit from TA user LaughinGuo that'll allow you to skip the last 4 activities. I have tested this on PS4, Xbox One, Windows 10 version and the steam version and works on all of them so I wouldn't worry about this getting patched out. If it does I'll update the guide.)

"After Baccarat with 4000 chips, win don’t go anywhere. go to west park to make end game save again-automatically return main menu-select Premium Adventure-ask Haruka to hang out again and win baccarat 4000 chips again-achievement unlock"

(Here's a more clearer explanation from TA user supkris: Once you are done with baccarat leave the underground club to west park. Just before the west park exit is a shed where Haruka’s puppy is resting. There is an accessible door next to the puppy that has option to create game clear data. When you do that you are returned to main menu directly. From here do not load game but select premium adventure. It should ask for option to go with or without game clear data. Select with option and use the game clear you just created. The game loads at serena. Take Haruka with you again to do baccarat again. Once done you get promoted from sss to ex rank and achievement unlocks)

Billiards (Rotation) - Go to Vincent and beat your opponent in Rotation
Karaoke Part 2 - Go to Karaokekan and get 950 on Otometal MY LIFE (Lively injections is the only way to complete this task. Your song doesn't matter for this either.)
Bowling Part 2 - Clear three splits in a Split Game match at Mach Bowl at Theatre Square Alley.
Batting Part 2 - Get 1200 points or more on the Hard Course.

Here are the rewards for each rank of Haruka's request.
E: Haruka's Candy Recovery
D: Haruka's Chocolate Recovery
C: Haruka's Amulet Accessory
B: Red Jewel Cheat Item
A: Haruka's First Aid Kit Recovery
S: Haruka's Lunch Box Recovery
SS: Zero Jewel Cheat Item
SSS: Haruka's Necklace Accessory
EX: Morning Glory Scarf Accessory

Here's a map of all locker key locations in case you need to find one for a cheat item from user CyricZ on Gamefaqs.

Holy hell - this game has awful side cheevos

By odiedodie on 07 Feb 2021 09:45

I completed the cee lo request and was then asked to do poker. I then saved and exited, but the next time I loaded the game she asked me to win 500 in cee lo again but no matter how many points I win I cannot get it to register. Anyone know what to do??

By AquaKILLAH KEV on 28 Apr 2020 19:36

For whatever reason it only worked after playing until the game prompts you to exit rather than just quitting out. Hopefully this helps anyone with the same issue.

By AquaKILLAH KEV on 28 Apr 2020 19:40

I think the karaoke is going to make me miss out on this and the 100% completion achievements, the timing mechanic is not my friend. Any tips for dealing with it?

By JKSullivan on 02 May 2020 19:32

For me I just kind of pressed the button before the prompt comes up and held the button for half a second longer to hit the prompt since for whatever reason the Xbox One version has a slight delay on it. It feels infinitely different from the PS4 and both PC versions.

By good Super man on 02 May 2020 20:02

I thought getting 950 on Otometal is almost impossible (this is was the real final boss of Kiwami heh), kept trying until I was consistently getting 900+, and then eventually got 950. Just keep trying and build up muscle memory and try to memorize what buttons are gonna come (for one that are right in the beggining of the line) and you will get it. Good luck!

By Starbrew on 04 May 2020 08:34

Incredible solution, thank you! The cheat items for every gambling game were especially useful for me.

By SHlZZY H on 06 May 2020 17:37

Thank you good super man and LaughingGuo!!!
The glitch worked like a charm.

By IX Ulquiorra on 05 Aug 2020 11:48

Weird, try talking to her to see if that's what she needs just in case the game messed up or something. If she's asking for that I don't know the only thing I would suggest if it's still happening is just leaving the restaurant and come back in. This happened to me was when I tried to buy the Yakisoba Bun. I just left the store and went back in and it fixed itself.

By good Super man on 07 May 2020 07:25

Setsunae, the menu at Pronto changes depending on the time of day. I think the Carbonara is part of their lunch menu, in which case you need to make sure you're visiting during the daytime.

By jrod39 on 07 May 2020 14:42

Well, I'm now past 30 failed attempts at this and I am so heartily sick of this song. I know that practice makes perfect and that I'll get it eventually, but ... I hate this song. And that's transferring to Haruka. "Hey, Haruka, c'm'ere a second." *Tiger Drop Haruka through Karaokekan's wall*

There should have been a cheat item for Karaoke, to automatically add 100 points to your score, found in a locker after you complete one of the earlier Haruka missions.

By jrod39 on 07 May 2020 18:24

Finally got this on the 55th (!!!) attempt, after many 930s and 940s. For reference, I had 185 Great!, 19 Good, and 8 Bad notes.

By jrod39 on 07 May 2020 23:13

@jrod39 THANKS, this helped me out alot. Changed the time of day and got it to pop up. Did not know the menu changes. That's a first for me thru' these Yakuza games.

By Setsunae on 08 May 2020 00:02

Just to update my guide what time did you change it to?

By good Super man on 08 May 2020 00:30

I changed it up to Daytime so that it could pop and show up superman.

By Setsunae on 08 May 2020 04:41

Okay, the guide has been updated with this info thanks.

By good Super man on 08 May 2020 06:12

There’s glitch u can skip last 4 requests. Go find out by google

By LaughinGuo on 11 May 2020 07:26

^ I tried finding this and found no notable results. Do you have any links?

By LAZY SHIKAMARUX on 11 May 2020 17:10

@LaughinGuo, don’t be a tease. Gimme that good stuff. I googled and couldn’t find anything. Found stuff on resetting haruka request on Kiwami 2 though.

By Sighris on 12 May 2020 03:42

So After Baccarat with 4000 chips win don’t go anywhere. go to west park to make end game save again-automatically return main menu-select Premium Adventure-ask little bitch hang out again-win baccarat 4000 chips again-achievement unlock
of course if u miss this chance u fucked up

By LaughinGuo on 12 May 2020 04:05

Well then I fucked up

By Sighris on 12 May 2020 04:42

Thankfully I have a back up save from near the beginning of Premium Adventure. I would have to do most of the Haruka Requests again, but that certainly beats getting 950 points on Karaoke. It will probably just take a couple hours to come back to Baccarat.

By Hell Kaiser Ryu on 12 May 2020 05:20

By Hell Kaiser Ryu on 12 May 2020 07:49

I can confirm this WORKS! I thought this was a troll at first, but it works. I would recommend you do this now, because it may get patched. Sweet!

By Hell Kaiser Ryu on 12 May 2020 23:33

It probably won't be patched out. I just finished up the Yakuza collection (3-5) on PS4 and it seems like they never fix anything super exploitable like this that were on the PS3 version of those games. Just seems like they're not concerned about stuff like that.

By good Super man on 12 May 2020 23:57

Maybe not right thread, but if I started NG+ with my current unlocks and haruka progress, would she reset? Wondering if I’m better off doing haruka whims after ng+

By Sighris on 13 May 2020 05:11

Better this than otometal lol

By LAZY SHIKAMARUX on 13 May 2020 15:51

How do you make a clear data save in the park, I only know how to do it at Serena

By LAZY SHIKAMARUX on 13 May 2020 22:57

Never mind, figured it out thanks to Hell Kaiser Ryu "Its toward the south section in a cabin. South cabin near save point."

Also thanks to LaughinGuo for the sick glitch! +1 on the guide too!

By LAZY SHIKAMARUX on 13 May 2020 23:18

I missed this. I'm really struggling with the expert rotation. The karaoke will be tough too. The other 2 don't seem so bad

Edit: hooooly mother of god. Did the expert rotation. That was unbelievable. Did the karaoke on the 5th try. The hardest part of this song is getting 900 to get the CP. This takes some practice. As i had done that before i had rehearsed this song pretty well so it didn't feel too bad. I missed 1 note and got 960 score.

By I8ITackyticsI8I on 30 May 2020 14:57

Thank you to hell kaiser for the info and big ups to lazy shikamarux for posting where to make the end game save. I didn't even know that was a thing.

Achievement unlocked. And I'm done with that.

By X Buona ForTuna on 02 Jun 2020 18:41

Sweet trick to skip the karaoke at the end! Thank you!

By LordMakanaki on 03 Jul 2020 08:07

Is there a bug or am I missing something, I'm on Blackjack for 3000 and I'm at the right table. I got over 10000 from a 4000 bet and still it didn't count.

Edit - I think I figured it out, I left the table and then went back and I don't think I re-trigger Haruka's dialogue before playing. Leaving the casino and coming back and trying again worked.

By LanDi on 07 Aug 2020 16:05

This glitch did not work for me, however I want to point out that it is not a beast with seven heads to make the last 4 requests. Stay tuned to the billiard rotation expert and Otometal My Love part 2.

(I would say that this exploit is fake because I didn't find this tip on any other site, except here on TA).

By nold3 on 11 Aug 2020 04:35

Just cuz you can’t do it right doesn’t make it fake, it worked for several of us.

By Sighris on 11 Aug 2020 05:09

Why didn't you ask the guy I mentioned in the guide where he found it? They found the glitch somewhere on the internet or discovered it themselves all I did was test it on multiple platforms to make sure that it worked and included it in the guide.

By good Super man on 11 Aug 2020 05:49

As of right now, I don't have to time to retest this on Xbox since I have other games I want to play while also going back to Yakuza 3 remastered on PS4 to get some of the guides ready for when it comes to Xbox and trust me there are a lot for just for minigames.

By good Super man on 11 Aug 2020 05:55

Okay guy. Past waters. Anyway, I followed the guide step by step and it has already helped a lot, that matters. At the end of the day, I didn't worry about the latest activities compared to this glitch, because I tried all day and it was frustrating, I couldn't stand playing at baccarat anymore.

By nold3 on 13 Aug 2020 10:36

Redeemer31 once you are done with baccarat leave the underground club to west park. Just before the west park exit is a shed where Haruka’s puppy is resting. There is an accessible door next to the puppy that has option to create game clear data. When you do that you are returned to main menu directly. From here do not load game but select premium adventure. It should ask for option to go with or without game clear data. Select with option and use the game clear you just created. The game loads at serena. Take Haruka with you again to do baccarat again. Once done you get promoted from sss to ex rank and achievement unlocks

By supkris on 28 Aug 2020 17:51

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I didn't even know about that shed where Haruka's puppy is. Much appreciated!

By Redeemer31 on 29 Aug 2020 20:29

Welcome. Glad that it helped

By supkris on 30 Aug 2020 17:42

Thank you superman for the credits. Happy to contribute to your great guide.

By supkris on 30 Aug 2020 17:55

Only thought it was right to give credit. I'll be constantly making guides for all mainline Yakuza games except for 7 since it's the only one I haven't played yet.

By good Super man on 30 Aug 2020 22:23

I followed the steps to clear my data and am now at baccarat again. But I used the cheat items the first time around already and it’s impossible to win this crap again 5 times in a row. So frustrating.

Edit: f*** me, complaining worked. I just played 4 rounds and always bet on a tie. If a tie didn’t happen I left the room and went back in and did the same again. After an hour I finally had a tie and won 8k chips and Haruka was happy...

By pukem0nn on 01 Sep 2020 00:49

I'm extremely close to never touch this game again. I just read this guide after I passed the pool challenge (after the baccarat) and realized I have to do the song I barely achieved 900 points on AGAIN but this time 950. I'm so angry and frustrated now I can't even describe it. I don't have a save before the baccarat of course. This game will kill me. I seriously don't see any chance to do 950 points on that song. There isn't a single song I can do better than 930 and this is the hardest.

By HUN playmore on 27 Sep 2020 20:19

Does is still work? Im on PS4, but author says it should work anyway. This is the only place where I found info about the exploit on last activities. If I can skip that idiotic karaoke than Im even willing to replay whole thing.

By Patrickosan on 14 Oct 2020 19:04

It should still work I haven't seen any updates for Kiwami 1 on ps4 since I last played it.

By good Super man on 14 Oct 2020 20:48

Yup, it's working! Just did it! Thank god I don't have to deal with this stupid karaoke... I think Car Chase will be much easier than this bullshit. Anyway, thanks for the tips. I created a simple guide for this glitch on psnprofiles, of course with credits to you guys! Hope you won't mind :)

By Patrickosan on 15 Oct 2020 16:57

Just used this to unlock it on PS4. Thanks a million! Saved me a ton of trouble.

By Silent Fanatic on 01 Nov 2020 23:43

Do NOT save between winning baccarat and creating clear save. Otherwise glitch will not work. Learned this the hard way lol

By ShonicTH on 24 Jan 2021 02:47

I can confirm this still works on Xbox One.

By Virulent Crux on 02 May 2021 23:53

Can also confirm this works on Series X, thank goodness!

By Ashley6200 on 08 May 2021 21:32

Just got this. Playing on Xbox and the baccarat glitch worked like a charm. Thank god.

When I played through the requests on PS4, I had no idea of the glitch. Rotation made me want to pull my hair out. So glad I don't have to suffer that anymore.

By Segtendo on 21 Jun 2021 19:30

thank you this worked.

best strategy is win 3x in a row legit and then use banker and player piece

do the glitch

second time around just keep betting on a tie which can take a while

overall it took me about 45 minutes

By King KRool on 03 Aug 2021 15:22

So once unlocked the haruka achievement using the glitch what do you do just carry on playing and save like normal in this nee premium adventure? Or do you just load the save from before the glitch and carry on playing for 100%

By Oi RoYaL on 12 Oct 2021 00:11

By Oi RoYaL on 12 Oct 2021 08:51

The baccarat glitch worked first try so huge thanks for that.

But koi-koi tormented me for several hours and I thought the 1k points was outrageously high, UNTIL I learned that if you play on expert you win ten times as much, meaning you just need one fairly lucky game where you win by 10 points or more. As someone with no clue how to play the game I naturally chose beginner, and was not coming close to the 1k. Fortunately, the difficulty didn’t really seem any different on expert and it only took me a few tries to get 1k so just pick expert.

By AKA Ram Kadyrov on 21 Mar 2022 17:04

Wow, with that glitch, Haruka EX is an absolute joke

By New Paralyzer on 17 Jun 2023 05:31

Starbrew's comments are spot on. This one takes a lot of practice. I'm getting there myself but have shown improvement with each day.

Regarding good Super man's comment about the delay, I read in a Reddit forum that wireless Xbox controllers introduce a little delay, and that switching to wired helps immensely. And it does--before going wired, I was generally around 830/840. My first two attempts with wired were 880 and 890. Some of that is from practice, but I also notice that I can press the button closer to the icon and it registers "Great!!" where before I had to press it before it hits the prompt. So if you're having trouble, consider temporarily switching to a wired controller.

By jrod39 on 04 May 2020 20:25

Glad to help everyone on TA so far for both Yakuza 0 and 1. Cheat items are in 2-5 to my knowledge so that makes a lot of achievements easier. I'm playing through the collection of PS4 and I'm nearly done with 5.

By good Super man on 07 May 2020 02:40

Yeah i got a problem with this achievement so far. I got to the Pronto section where your supposed to buy Haruka a Three Cheese Carbonara - Pronto on Nakamichi Street. Go into the shop and try to purchase but it takes me straight to the drink menu instead. Any ideas on how to fix this? (2nd Premium Adventure on Legend Difficulty)

By Setsunae on 07 May 2020 05:22

Could someone please explain the glitch again? I'm a bit lost with how it's worded. Also how do you get 4000 on baccarat the 2nd time without the cheat items?

By Conor Magee on 06 Aug 2020 14:54

After you the win 4000 chips in Baccarat, go to west park to make a new save return to the main menu and select Premium Adventure and to use the clear game data on the save you just made. Ask Haruka to hang out again and win 4000 chips in Baccarat again and the achievement should unlock. As for winning Baccarat hopefully, you just notice a pattern and hope that the pattern doesn't change for it to be easy.

By good Super man on 07 Aug 2020 01:04

God bless LaughinGuo, supkris and all the members who discovered this baccarat exploit.
When I found out how absurd the AI of this game is on billiards (rotation), I was already giving up .. I knew I couldn’t finish this stupid Otometal, but I didn’t expect to get stuck in the first challenge.
Thank you very much to everyone involved, really thank you.

By Negao Dourado on 17 Mar 2021 21:47

The baccarat glitch skip worked for me today but I had to unfortunately try it a few times. A couple tips from someone who spent hours on this - have multiple save files after you complete baccarat the first time but before you create the game clear save. Once you create the game clear save and start from Premium Adventure, do not save between starting that Premium Adventure file and completing the baccarat requirement the second time. My first attempt I had been save scumming on the second baccarat go around and while Haruka's friendship jumped all the way to EX, the achievement didn't pop. I stupidly did not have back up save files so I started Haruka's adventure completely over, made like 10 back up saves, and then just kept playing baccarat without saving/quitting. Another tip, if you are losing baccarat, quit the baccarat game, leave the casino, and re-enter to have Haruka trigger the challenge again.

By stephmuffin on 04 Jun 2021 05:01

Not trying to be a jerk but what exactly does this mean:
"After Baccarat with 4000 chips, win don’t go anywhere. go to west park to make end game save again-automatically return main menu-select Premium Adventure-ask Haruka to hang out again and win baccarat 4000 chips again-achievement unlock"

From what I gathered, after you win, go make a saved game and then go to the game main menu. It's the part afterwards that I'm not sure about. Does it mean to select Premium Adventure and then basically redo everything up (ie. get protective amulet again all the way up to win at baccarat again)?

Thanks!

One point I noticed that wasn't covered was how to play koi-koi. The following link may be helpful for anyone who's unfamiliar with this particular game: https://lovethynerd.com/a-definitive-guide-to-koi-koi/
