Mastering naval combat in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* hinges on upgrading your Goromaru's cannons – the most potent weapons in your arsenal. This guide details how to enhance these crucial tools, ensuring you dominate the seas.
In Chapter 2, you'll discover Honolulu and Madlantis, the game's primary hubs. Exploring these areas and recruiting crew members is vital for ship upgrades and story progression. The main quest introduces Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu. She upgrades the Goromaru and subsequently allows you to enhance your ship's cannons. Various materials, acquired by defeating enemies, are needed for each upgrade.
Different upgrade components are required: Components, Quality Components, Superb Components, and Miscellaneous items (animal parts, fruits, stones).
Speak to Julie, select your desired cannon, and watch it get upgraded. Equip your enhanced cannons via the crew formation menu on your ship.
Cannon Upgrades:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon boasts faster reload times and elemental damage, but its damage output is lower. Consider this a later acquisition, perhaps prioritizing it after recruiting Julie to your crew.
Egesta Cannon
This cannon deals damage over time, making it a strategic option, especially when paired with a different cannon type on the other side of your ship. Its dual-shot compensates for its slower reload speed.
Laser Cannon
A top-tier weapon, the Laser Cannon delivers devastating damage, making quick work of weaker ships and significantly impacting boss health. Prioritize saving components for this upgrade.
Super Laser Cannon
The ultimate cannon upgrade, the Super Laser Cannon requires rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Its extended range and superior power make it invaluable in challenging battles, especially against the Devil Pirates and in the Pirate Coliseum.
This guide covers cannon upgrades in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. Prepare for naval dominance!
