ULTIMATE LIKE A DRAGON: ISHIN! FARMING METHOD 

Here's a method that will get you guaranteed wins all the time with chicken racing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zx39GzFH4xk.html

Pro tip: instead of buying plates, buy the silver hammers instead. You can buy them in IMMENSE bulk and sell 99 at a time at the pawn shop, which is a lot faster than plates. I hope this helps

Just a little addendum; the tags used in the Chicken Racing are the exact same as the ones used in the Gambling Parlor minigames. If you're confident in your skills, it's possible to earn the 7000 tags needed for Leon's method by playing those instead of spending 70 Ryo in seed money first. Koi-koi is especially great for this, as on Expert difficulty you can bet 200 tags per point, so you can hit 7000 with just a few good rounds.

Personally my favorite way of grinding money fast is farming a ton of produce and have a ton of fertilizer so when I have my farm ready, I use the fertilizer, harvest the produce, leave the farm, go back, then keep doing that and just sell produce because that’s the easiest category to do and gets a lot of ryo pretty fast

This will come in handy when I finally get around to playing Ishin! Many thanks.

One thing I noticed in Ishin that is different from most RGG games (maybe all with gambling, but can’t say for certain) is that the Platinum plates in this game are worth so much less. Is every yakuza game, the platinum plates would be worth the same amount of yen it would cost to buy it in chips. For example, if the platinum plate was 1500 chips, and one chip was worth 100 yen, then it would cost 150k yen to buy and sell it. In this game however, the platinum plate’s chip cost is worth 15 ryo, but sells for only 3 ryo and some change. Idk if it’s a bug or not, but it makes getting money through gambling way more of a slugfest

Glad you made this guide, it was super confusing at first and you made it super easy to understand! looking forward to more Ishin content

I actually said this last night. Upgrading Amon's sword is a nightmare. Since you need 3 pairs of 20 of the rarest items and I'm getting really bad rng with the final dungeon boss. In Yakuza like a dragon this was fine since you knew where to obtain rare items and you would get them 100% of the time

So there’s a small hang after clicking ‘Exit Race’, and clicking Exit will give you your tags back instantly. So if you press the back button a couple times after making all your bets, then click Start Race before the screen turns black, your bet goes in, AND you get your tags back. 🗿

trying this I've noticed a glitch (at least PC version, feb 27 2023). when you finish place your bet. going back (with circle on PS or B on Xbox ) you'll exit from chicken race minigame giving back your points but if you are fast enough can start the race before go back to receptionist so race will start with bets places but you didn't rlly spend points. i found bc i pressed B many times to cancel race but at same time i wad fast to start race and noticed (after failing bet haha) my original points still there.

thanks for this farming guide, carried my whole game :D

Recently found your channel cause of the iceberg video keep up the goated content

The power of chickens wins again

Dear god, it's true, I am going to optimize the fun out of this game. (I will be save scumming this for 3 hours)

I haven't started the Chicken races yet, but now I have a good idea, Already have all the Virtue Points spent where they need to be. I am pretty close too 70 ryo, looks like I'll have to grind a bit more. When next I am on, apart from the Substories I'll check out the Chicken races. Thanks.

chicken racing is bs.

I’ve been playing cho Han. Seems to be a glitch as when I bet 200 on snake eyes and she rolls a 1-5 it still pays out 5-8000 tags. I then get the silver hammers to sell and use.

How to make money, "Scum save and gamble. Thanks for watching my video."

Not to critscize, but "How to make money? Simply invest 70 ryo as if that's not a fucking fortune, easy"

Thanks for the video. I just started playing the game beginning of the year. While i'm still on Chapter 3 (playing slowly mini games and other gambling games) The chicken run mini game from this video does help a lot. I been trying to place just 1 or 2 bets with single win, quintella & exacta. The best record win that i got for placing 5 EXACTA was just last 2 chickens place were wrong!! But yeah i'm gonna try it out using this method and earn sh** tons of tags later on. Haha

When will you be uploading boss fights for Ishin?

Thanks buddy :)

I don't know why I subject myself to completion every time in these games, thanks for this guide, I just sorta winged it in the JP version lmao

This method is really good for money but working on the equipment completion is eating it all back up again. Some pieces of equipment look like they'll cost over 500 ryo, do you know if this is correct or will these weapons be enchanted ones? I hope so because they're free. The material grind for all these weapons and seals atm feels insane

I absolutely can see how anybody can do a lot of these moves that involve you having to hit a button right before an enemy attacks you! There is absolutely no tell what so ever! Most games give you at least a chance with a mechanic like making the enemy flash or something right b4 they attack so you know when to hit the button. But this does not believe in that in the tiniest way what so ever!! I can not ever hit the button for a lot of these kind of moves ever in time.. I do not in the littlest amount what so ever see how anybody can know when to hit these buttons in time! You have to be a freaking pro gamer! And if you come at me with stuff like, doh well that sounds like lack of skill. Sounds like it's a you problem" I have nothing to say to you because when you say that your just trying to fish for praising. You want to feel special. It's a psychological trait. A lot of people say that when they can't do it either just to troll.. I'm not new to games and I'm very quick with quick timed events but this is ridiculous!! If you can really do it then you have got to be a pro gamer. There is no time nothing! It's not real life it's a video game so there needs to be somewhat of a telegraph to the attacks!! The game is very fun but man there are a lot of bad annoying little things with the game.. Not to mention freaking seals that only say it increases the attacks by 1 or 2%! Seriously?! 😂😂 one freaking percent is nothing!! On top of that to fuse it to a weapon it costs arm and a leg!! Really? Anyway like I said I love the game! I love the beat em up combat. But I truly with all my heart do not see how anybody can hit these buttons right before an attack when you have no way of knowing when the attack is coming.. No twitch no jump no flashing nothing!! You truly have to be a pro gamer to be able to do that and I mean a pro gamer that does nothing but video games allll the time.. I dunno maybe it is just me.. But I just don't see how you are supposed to be able to do that in time.. It's ridiculous.. Anyway cheers 🥂🍻! Seriously if you come at me with it's because I suck you're ignorant and just trying to start something.. Lol

I've grinded a little over million points doing the chicken racing, am I good to start buying platinum plates now?

KIRYU-CHAN!!!!

Nice video! My biggest complaint in the game and maybe the only one is the big tuna. I have played over 300 total hours gotten everything but the ONE thing I’m missing is catching the big tuna. Either it’s glitched or horribly imbalanced. 10% chance my ass. It NEVER shows up. I’ve had this game from the original release using a modded ps3 to now pre ordering the remake. Still haven’t gotten one. I think it’s a horrible flaw. Other than that it’s great.

No longer working, has been patched

What's the best troop setup?

All lies i this video.. Its pure rng

Too add a bit to this method, craft the Virtuous Hood, you'll get more Virtue each time you sell the platinum plates, with max Virtue cultivation selling 40 plates, you get 27000, but with the virtuous hood will raise it to 35100.

People playing this game for the first time won't know how lucky they are having it in english. Grinding stuff out in the original game was so hard because I couldn't understand anything lmao.

Just realized I messed up the thanks section at the end Will make it up to you soon, members

EXTRA TIP!: If you also want to farm daifuku and get tons of ability orbs you can use the general store next to the pawn shop. First you should craft the virtuous hood and equip it, then use Leon’s chicken method until you have around 300 Ryo to burn. Next go to the general store and buy tons of ginseng for 1 ryo each (and I mean tons! I normally get 297). This will net you a massive amount of virtue, and you can gain even more by running back to the pawn shop and selling off all the ginseng you just bought. In total you can gain 100,000+ virtue at once which you can use to get as much daifuku as you need.

I’d like to add its probably best to stick to short races. So much can go wrong in the mid and long races, just start the races just don’t bet on those ones

General tip for everyone. Upgrade the model 3 all the way to the model 14. It can one shot armour whilst in wild dancer. Strike and then shoot even if your sword hits nothing. Also guns are useless on Amon

Does the chicken racing still work? I saw some posts online saying that it was patched

Chicken racing is simple in theory, but thanks to the insanely unfair RNG in this game, you can bet on the "obvious winner" 10 times in a row without winning. Now, I don't know if that's just my personal bad luck or not because all the guides I've looked at make it sound as if winning is "SO EASY" and that you'll be a billionaire in 10 minutes or less! Well, while I have amassed a 600 Ryo fortune, it took me MANY hours to do so, and considering that some of the weapons you need to buy in order to 100% this beast cost about 600 Ryo EACH, I honestly don't know how many fucking months it will take of constantly watching some stupid birds running and then reloading ad infinitum. None of the other Yakuza games were like this. Jesus Christ!

Extra tip for people: Golden Sneaks tend to spawn A LOT at night time, especially if you're drunk. Best place to fight them is in Mukurogai/Fushimi. I had more luck in Fushimi, but you can get rare materials off of them and sometimes they'll drop seals as well. You can also disarm them for their swords which can come in handy for crafting or just donating/disassembling at the Smithy The Rogue Mask is your best friend as it lets you know when one spawned if there's just a single arrow.

I played the Jpan port all the way to the finale without finishing it cause I wanted to finish it in the remake so far I’m loving it! Really glad this got localized watching guide’s constantly and trying to understand Japanese is a lot of work. This guide is helpful thanks!

Thank you for this guide. Crucial for end game farming. I did 60 hours in the first four days of release and I feel I've done enough legit grinding to happily accept save scumming this. I hit like lvl 60 and at least 25 on each fighting form. The end game grind is just way bigger on this one.

Been trying this for over 2 hours now, literally every single race some random chicken gets a mega buff and wins right at the end. Yet to win a single race.

I love the game but it definitely was a mistake to leave Another Life until after the story, it's so damn grindy lol

Does anyone have any tips for quickly gaining xp? The daifuku isn’t too bad, it just takes a while to get a good amount of virtue.

Problem that I’m facing right now is getting the material for the end game swords (dragon sword, divine swords, etc.). You can find the materials for the sword in the last few trooper missions but man does it take a long time, the enemies are super spongy at this point and it takes 10 min per missions and if you get one of the materials for the sword to drop then that’s pretty lucky. Probably would need to complete them above 100 times. Anyone managed to craft any of the end game sword? If so how did you do it?

I've been doing it myself a bit and only on chapter 3, if you have at least 3 ryo to get 300 tags or so that'd be a good start, but yeah you just bet 10 minimum for every combination of the chicken you chose to win, with 10 you get anywhere from 600-900+ tags even on 10 tags bet, and as you get more tags you can slowly bet more and more to where you can bet 100+ and then 300+

Not sure how much this could help, but leaving the chicken race menu and going back to the receptionists menu and entering it again resets the race. Use this method to refresh races until you have one chicken in good (arrow up) condition and four in bad (arrow down) condition. I’m not sure if the good chicken can still lose or not, but in my experience the “good” chicken has always won the race.

This kind of feels like cheating so I won’t do it, but you still got yourself a new subscriber

This guide'll REALLY help but do you happen to know if your blacksmith level carries over to NG+ or will you be covering that at a later video? I don't wanna go to NG+ till I have everything I need if the level resets.

this feels far more random than it should be. i have had races where the chicken had triangle-O-O-O (all double circles) in best condition, come in 3rd against two chickens that were in second to worst condition. the fact thats a possibility is really frustrating. especially when something similar to it happens multiple times in a row. a chicken with horrible condition comes in first, while my chosen chicken in great condition is literally dead last. still, thanks for yhe guide! did get me enough money that i needed! eventually and after a couple horus of grinding it out

I'm sorry but I can't I tried it's too random to even try I'd be better off doing something else

These games need to A. Either make getting money not so damn boring or B. drastically lower equipment prices to more reasonable levels. Standing in from of this chicken den for hours because its literally the best way to get money is beyond stupid. Also to add on to if even if your chicken has the best stats on paper it can still lose. This is beyond ridiculous.

Thanks for the video. I'd add that short races seem completely random, even more so than mid or long ones. I was on a winning streak with long races, then only losing on short ones, so I started watching them without betting in order to skip them (you need to watch the race 'til the end in order to move on to the next). It's a drag but seems worth the time.

I'm in like chapter 4 and have so much unlocked just from running around over and over and spamming gambling and the prize wheel

Wow, I was broke for actual in life days. In ten minutes I was loaded. Thanks dude this was helpful AF!

this game is insanely grindy, but it is still much more enjoyable than fist of north star, i just hate the effort put on this "remake" and the additional substory is just plain awfull, it is not interesting and probably add 10 hrs without any guide. i think game developer should try completing their game to 100% without using debug before selling the game.

i have been betting on chickens 50 times and being wrong each time. like they often even come in last place regardless of the stats edit: ok i won twice and got 40k lmao

i usually sell the material to craft gun because i don't like gun and i play only with sword, could be a good method?

I spent an entire night gambling on these damn chicken races but damn it feels good to not worry about money anymore

Something to note is that while the EXP items are a great way to level your styles, it's absolutely awful for the grey "general" EXP. Each item only gives 3000 EXP, which you can easily get in one or two random fights. For general EXP, you're going to have to go into the dungeons if you want to grind.

I feel like all of these guides rely on having a lot of Ryo already just to do this kinda ruins the whole method if I'm being honest.

I just played coliseum in chapter 3 a lot and just straight buying gold plates there

Going to make a warning to Steam/PC players, Ebisu doesn't pay 12 Ryo, even after you complete the bond. The Pawn Broker only pays out 3 Ryo 7500 Mon per Platinum plate. . Even after doubling my Points I was still at a loss of about 30 Ryo starting from 76 Ryo. The Chicken races method doesn't work all that well for us who have the PC version.

This is by far the grindiest tedious most down on your lick game I’ve ever played in any yakuza series ever

Do we know of a way to get weapon seals like the ones that are on the higher weapons with the four spikes on them or can you not get them by disassembling them?

my luck is so ass lol i cant win a single time i swear to god

is it me or do half of the wins not provide the cash back that was put in? after spending 80 ryo and wining 3 times after turning in the plates im ending up with a few ryo less then when i started. seems that even if you win your paying so much to the different bets. i tried doing the last one you recomended and the pay out is less then all the sticks you put into it.

I don't know if this helps but I feel like you will never have a good result on your *very first* bet. I always lost, no matter how much I followed. So on my first bet I just did a scrub 50 tag bet to get it out of the way, saved again, and tried again. Following the same methods in the video, I won the next 2 races and I went from 3000 tags to 24000 tags. So the take-away from this, I think, is that the first one might always be a loss, so just do a minimal bet to get that initial conversation bond out of the way, and then you'll start being able to win!

This one is really helpfull, got 30 ryos in more or less one hour

Chicken racing infuriates me to a ridiculous degree for some reason lol

thank you, i was constantly relying on stocking up a bunch of produce from the farming side content and doing all the trades up to ginseng it makes me a decent amount of money (up to 10 ryo or more) since i was really bad with gambling, but now i have a good idea on how to farm more quickly

It's all tied to chicken.

My favorite channel for anything Yakuza related!

Got any tips on grinding the blacksmith level fast? I have all the materials but it says blacksmith level to low.

someone should make a mod with you as a trooper card

The side content in this game is actually insane

Number one how did you figure this out?! Because your very smart if you figure this on your own. How did you find out all of this including that more double circles mean better? You had to have learned that from a guide or someone else or something because how in the world is anybody supposed to know double circles mean better bird?! I'm lost Second, how do you get that the number 1 chicken named fowl temper is the best chicken?! The past results are the lowest number being 111 and the chick with highest payout is number 5 rooster ruler plus number 5 past results are the highest at 544?! Am I just really a dumb and stupid individual?? Dunno I guess maybe I am. I'm dumb for thinking the bird with the highest results and highest payout is the best bird🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm lost on all of this in a huge way! I dunno, maybe I am really dumb if everyone else understands all of this.. We anyway, hope someone can in lighten me.. Cheers 🥂🍻 😊

Guys i purchased the dlc of Third division armament expansion kit and the dlc hasn't been downloaded and they took the money as well.

The Chicken Racing really is a good method of getting money. Instead I chose to bash my head against the wall in Cho Han and managed to get 2 x18 payout sweeps. Was it worth it? Yes I'm rich as fuck. Did I lose my sanity? Somewhat lol. The grind for the platinum/100% is still real

Live Hayashi Reaction

please do a guide for all memoirs im lost 🙏

Yay. Will come in handy... Eventually

This is a really dumb question but how are you betting so fast? I feel like I've tried every button input but I'm always limited to only betting 10 at a time Edit: I just learned you can press back and it'll bet the max (300), I feel so dumb

Doesn’t work

the goat

Got max rep for Fushini and Rakunai using the plates method as I'd maxed all my virtue stuff before hand, and selling like 5+ plates in each area just unlocked even more virtue for getting max rep. Also levellied the smith to 16 using chicken racing to get pts for silver hammers. Only issue now is how much the best sword is even with max discount - 375 Ryo is, quite frankly, insane. Wtf was RGG smoking by increasing the costs so much in the western release?!? :(

They patched the trick out already unfortunately. You can no longer quit out and then start race for free anymore. Now you have to actually get lucky again.

oh i thought "farming method" referred to another life

How much do I need for starters to setup this chicken race farm method? I don't have 70 ryo yet but one guide said I need atleast 36 ryo then bet triple exacta at 300 each. Really need to find some money for it so I could start the farm and enjoy the other side stuff with the money to burn.

Important thing I learned is there is no point in buying daifuku for styles that hit level 25. You do not get new orbs out of it. You have to buy all the skills and limit break with a master to boost the level cap to 50. I'm actually in a bit of trouble with this because the only daifuku I can buy are the generic soul orb daifuku but my soul orb level is so high it takes me like 5 daifuku to get one orb, that's 50k of virtue. To get that much, I need to sell 99 hammers. I did half an hour of grinding to get about 400 hammers. So half an hour of grinding will net me 4 soul orbs. I limit broke brawler and am almost done with sword but gun and sword dancer are like only half done. It's gonna require a lot of tedious grinding to max them all out.

It’s better to buy silver hammers as they have no stack limit. They sell for the same amount

Just buy all triple exactas and exactas for the chicken you think will win, it's guaranteed but pretty costly (around 10k)

I haven't watch your video yet but I'm conflicted. I want to have the full experience yet I don't want to be dumb to not knowing farming methods.

Stupid question but where is the antique guy supposed to spawn who you need to finish the ebisu pawn workers bond mission? Cant find him to save my life

hey devilleon could u explain how u get all heat books pls im in trouble with it i need 3 to unlock the gun the sword style and brawler style the sumbo one.

Will there be a guide for crafting levels?

I would like to do collabe with you talking the like a dragon ishin and the series 😁

I genuinely thought I had super fast hands but I have no idea how anyone could possible fill out every bet fore the time runs out

0:35 what's the food in your top row? not talking about the pills.
