Yakuza: Like a Dragon

There's a lot of misinformation around this achievement on the Internet.

You don't need all or most jobs maxed out like some guides say, that would require an insane amount of grinding, it was tedious enough to max out one job for each character. Would it be easier if you do max out more jobs? Sure, but not really worth the effort in my opinion, I beat this dungeon with only one job maxed out for each character and some other jobs at level 30-50 (Fortune teller, Foreman and Host are important to level up, each of those jobs has one different elemental universal skill that will be very useful, especially fulminating forecast since 80% of the enemies in that dungeon are weak to electric damage)

IMPORTANT - Get 10 miracle kimchi from the kimchi vendor (Unlocked after completing "The Miracle of Spice" substory.) These are incredibly helpful for the Amon fight, I'll explain why later. Also, stack on as many recovery items as possible, you'll need them to recover your party's HP between the battles inside the dungeon.

I had my party as Ichi (Hero), Saeko (Idol), Joon-Gi Han (Hitman) and Zhao (Gangster), you really dont need anyone else, Adachi is too slow, Nanba dies too fast and Eri, well, Zhao and Han outDPS her anyway, and Saeko is just a better healer, so no reason to run Eri as idol either.

Regarding the weapons, gear, and the stats of the characters that I used:

Ichiban:

Han:

Zhao:

Saeko:

PS: If you want to farm money for the EX weapons, there's a method that can give you about 75 MILLION per run in the regular final millennium tower dungeon. Here:
When you enter the dungeon, it's important to note: YOU CAN RUN AWAY FROM THE FIRST FIGHT. Many people say you need a base xbox or whatever to run past it (cause the enemies wont load in time), but actually, you can just run away (holding LB when the fight starts) from that fight, so do it.

Another thing to note: You can avoid the second fight on the third floor by hugging the left wall behind the dude with a pink suit (won't work everytime though, at least in my experience, but its worth a try), and you can also skip the third fight on the same floor by hugging the right wall

The entire dungeon until Amon is pretty much abusing the enemy weaknesses and healing with saeko (or lowering the enemy defenses if everyone is already at full hp, attacking with her it's not worth it tbh), this guide here says what every enemy is weak to, very helpful: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/272324-yakuza-like-a-drago...

Amon fight: Start using the Miracle Kimchi on every party member except Saeko, that'll make them have turns more frequently and is VERY helpful. Spam him with Phantom Dive (Han), Phoenix Blade (Zhao) and Bonecrushing Bat (Ichiban), for Saeko, just restore their MP if there's no need to heal or user another Kimchi on Han, Ichi or Zhao if needed.
When Amon stops taking damage, just restore your MP, use debuffs or items, for Ichiban, use PEERLESS RESOLVE (That'll save you from a attack that would kill him otherwise). When he changes his stance, he'll be vulnerable again.

When he changes his stance to Beast Style, that's when things can go south. Summon Mr Masoquist poundmate when you get the chance. When he summons Saejima, Majima and Kiryu, he'll probably use Orbital Laser in the next turn, so make sure everyone is healed up and Mr Masoquist effect is active.

I focused only on Amon after he summoned the Tojo trio, Amon deals way more damage than them and is a much dangerous threat, not to mention he can also use a move that can instakill every member of your party (Effigy of Demise), that got me killed like two times. So just focus on him with Han and Zhao, have Saeko heal everyone up and Ichiban using Orbital Laser. When he's defeated, the rest of the fight is kinda easy. Focus on Majima because he can paralyze you, he's weak to fire. Saejima comes next, he's weak to electricity, Kiryu is weak to water. (WARNING, they all can use their respective Special Attacks from their poundmate summons when their health is low, so be careful, I almost got the whole party killed because I tried to play around with Kiryu when his health was low). Video of me completing it for reference:


By the way, everytime you die to Amon, you can pay half your money to restart the fight with full HP, you don't need to restart the whole dungeon (only if you die before getting to him)

English isnt my mother language, so sorry if this guide wasn't clear enough.

Good luck to anyone trying this.

This achievement is a bit tricky. I had to beat the Final Millennium Tower 3 times to unlock the True version. You know you unlock it by receiving a text from the manager saying you will need a more serious test. The opening to this dungeon is located to the right side of the tower, walk along the street leading towards the back, there will be a well hidden set of stairs halfway throught the street. Before you enter, it will give you a warning saying that the recommended level is 99 and rank is 90 for a job. This, however, is WAY below what is needed in reality. The first fight with the robots can be avoided if you start running at the beginning as soon as you can take control of Ichiban. If not, you can run away from them in battle. In all fairness, if you can not beat those robots, you will have no chance. All hits from basic enemy attacks while on the recommended level does 800 damage minimum. It is best to get at least 2 side jobs completed at 99 rank and your main job at 99 rank in order to get the permanent stat increase. Look through each job to see which stats you want increased. When everything is set, I recommend having Hitman/Enforcer, Idol, Gangster, and Hero.

You can easily grind exp by going to the sewer dungeon nearby. Reach the point where you can save your game and heal up. Once you go to the second floor (last floor anyway), there will be 4 vagabonds that will give you tons of exp for level and jobs. Make sure your characters are holding the accessories that boost your job exp acquired by 50%. No need to worry about level exp as you will get that to 99 by finishing those jobs anyway. Easiest way to defeat them is to use attacks that hit multiple times such as Divine Shot by Hitman. That will defeat them in one round. There are other attacks you can try out as well. As soon as the battle is finished, you get a base exp of over 400,000. Since there are 4, you can get base of 1,600,000. Once all 4 are defeated, go back up the stairs, save the game, heal up, then go back down to respawn the enemies. You will level up pretty much every fight you have with the Vagabond. If you buy the Clerk and Musician accessories from the gambling halls, you can get 100% more exp for whoever is using that class.

I recommend leveling up Host for all character because you get the only transferrable ice attack. Idol is amazing for healing and buffing the party, Hitman has a bunch of different styles of moves but enforcer has 2 really good electric attacks, one for a single target and another for all, Gangster deals A LOT of damage especially the Ladder Gymnastics move that hits everyone, and Hero is a really good offensive class with a really good healing ability that pretty much heals all parties full health. Have your second female character as a Night Queen for good damage and brainwash, but its up to you to decide. Stock up on items, never a good idea to go into any battle not at full health because these enemies do so much damage with basic attacks, so their skill attacks are hard to deal with. All the enemies are the same for each floor you run through so make sure you know their weaknesses. Keep in mind, all of this is personal preference. But I do feel having 2 healers in your party (Idol and Hero) is a good idea because the order on who attacks can be tough to handle.

Remember, each boss encounter DOES have 1 weakness. Utilize that. Once you reach the top, buff up your characters (Mainly Ichiban) and heal accordingly. Use the bento boxes that heal and recover MP as they are really worth it. Any skills that buff evasion and lower enemy accuracy are amazing. I have not completed this dungeon yet but I will update when I finish my attempt.

Best of Luck.


UPDATE*******
I didn't have the ability to try this out until today but I ended up using Hero, Gangster, Idol, and Hitman to start off. My alternatives were Idol again, Enforcer, and Musician. I had no difficulty doing this but to be fair, I had 6 jobs maxed on all characters. When it comes down to it, the first few floors are surprisingly harder than the later floors. When it comes to bosses, Saejima and Tendo were the tough ones. I'll explain: Saejim and Tendo are the bosses that focus more on attack, Majima and Kiryu do not. Majima does speed and evasion, Kiryu does everything but is not as fast as Tendo. First, always heal your team with idol. If it is possible, use Lovedrunk Typhoon so you can lower the defense of all enemies, makes it easier. If the battle looks like it will be tough, have Ishiban use Peerless Resolve to prevent yourself from dying with a fatal blow and recover some health. As stated in other guides and some comments, you can use items to boost speed so you can attack more often. Is this necessary to win, no. BUT IT DOES HELP A LOT!!! Tendo is probably the hardest hitter as he can use a followup skill. If you are not careful, you can get hit with a combo and die. Halfway through the tower, I switched Gangster with Enforcer (Zhao with Adachi) as Paralysis Prongs does a lot of damage and can stun enemies, not bosses. You can however Poison bosses with Poison Shot. Does not do a lot but it stacks up over time. Majima can be taken down easily with fire attacks and he does not do too much damage, but do not get cocky. Kirya is the same but with ice.

When I started fighting Amon, it was basic in the beginning. He hits you with simple attacks and nothing more. I had Ganster out since he was so fast he could attack 2-3 times before the enemy does. Idol was there to lower defense and heal, Enforcer for Prongs, defense, and heavy damage, Hero for Peerless Resolve and Fearless Command. You know it starts to get harder when he changes his stance and also called in drones as this attack hurts everyone. Keep healing and use attacks based on his stance: Agility = Essence Attacks, Defense = Special Attacks (Distance moves like Ice Spreader), etc. Eventually it will comes to the REAL final battle where he summons Majima, Saejima, and Kiryu to help him out. Do not worry, as long as you have Mr. Masochist on Poundmates you will be fine. As soon as you can call him in, do it. Then use Essence attacks that you can cause as much damage to Amon as possible. This is still not a cake walk, these guys still do good damage so heal up always. Eventually, Amon will use his own Orbital Laser and strike you down hard. If you are quick enough to take his health down, you should still have the effects of Mr. Masochist on and can survive. Heal up and finish him off. Majima has low defense so take him out next which is not so hard. As soon as Saejima and Kiryu are the last two standing, its all good from here. Take out Saejima first as Kiryu is the tougher of the two. Weirdly enough, if you lose on the top floor, you can apparently use your money to revive yourself. I did not have to do that but just a little side note.

At the end, you get over 60 million for your troubles and your achievement. Not like the money will do you any good since this was the last thing on your list. However you do get a new outfit called the "Legendary Hero" that you can wear. It is just a gold plated rendition of the "Special Costume: Hero". But you finished the game so thats cool.

Best of luck on the next Yakuza game.

I just wanted to include my experiences with this achievement. It's not as daunting as you may think, although it's still tough as nails.

You're gonna want to have at least 1 or 2 jobs at level 99, and a good spread of job abilities. I had the following levels before going for this achievement:

Ichiban: Level 99 Hero, Level 99 Freelancer, Level 30 Foreman
Han: Level 99 Hitman, Level 60 Breaker, Level 60 Enforcer, Level 30 Host, Level 30 Fortune Teller
Zhao: Level 99 Gangster, Level 95 Host, Level 75 Fortune Teller
Saeko: Level 99 Idol, Level 70 Night Queen, Level 65 Hostess, Level 35 Barmaid

I used that party for almost all of it, subbing out Han for Homeless Nanba and his fire attacks for the Majima fight. You'll want the job spread that I suggested to at least level 30 so you can get the transferrable Ice and Lightning skills for Han and Zhao. Combine that with Orbital Laser, Zhao's fire attack, Han's bullet and blade attacks, and you're pretty much covered for enemy weaknesses. Make sure to go in with a lot of Staminan XX, Tauriner ++ and higher, and it shouldn't be too rough.

The main strategy you'll want to use is Peerless Resolve as soon as you can control Ichiban. This will save you from dying in 1 hit. At this point, you'll be able to take like, 2 hits from normal mobs in the tower before dying, so we'll want to use Saeko/Ichiban as your healers (Ichi as a last resort, or against the bosses weak against Ice). Just remember, as soon as someone goes down try and revive them either using the Fortune Teller's revive spell, Idol revive spell, or a Medkit as I found Ichiban's revive spell was trash. My general turn strategy was Han/Zhao using spells/abilities to take out enemies 1 at a time, healing every turn with Saeko (unless against Ice, then Ichi was healer), use Peerless Resolve, then Fearless Command, then physical attacks or Orbital Laser.

I'm not going to go into excruciating details - there are plenty of FAQs on the internet that detail the enemy placements / weaknesses. This is just the strategy I used while exploiting those weaknesses.

Happy hunting!
