How To Get Money Fast

0 12 4 minutes read

Money is an important resource in many Yakuza games, and while its general value has been greatly modified throughout the many iterations in the series, it feels more important than it ever was in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. It’s not as important as Yakuza 0, but you get the idea.

It’s the main source you’ll need to buy Kiryu and Mine’s abilities in their story campaigns. And if you’re a brave soul or a seasoned cockerel like me, you’ll need a lot of it right off the bat to make the game feel easy, especially if you’re playing it on the hardest (Master) difficulty.

The 12 Best Yakuza Final Boss Fights, Counted Down

From sworn brothers to men with nothing to lose, here are the best final boss battles in the Yakuza series so far.

In addition, it is necessary if you are looking to take out and buy ingredients to use in the Orphanage kitchen, or if you are looking to buy all the necessities in the Bad Boy Dragon minigame. For Kiryu, it has a lot more uses than just hanging out with him.

Therefore, with today’s guide, I have brought you all the aspects related to this economy, as I will be discussing the best ways to earn money quickly for both characters in Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.

How to Get Money Fast in Yakuza Kiwami 3

Selling Plates From Orphanage Shop

On Kiryu’s side of the game, the first method is unusual but engaging to trade antique plates for the Morning Glory Orphanage shop on the bulletin board. Specifically, these are the two Kiwami Forbidden and Forbidden plates.

If you’re someone who diligently grinds this mod to the point where you have a ton of free cash that you don’t need to spend on groceries and Orphanage upgrades, buy one of these plates, then you can head to the Pawn Shop and trade them for Kiryu’s pocket money.

It won’t be the fastest way, but this is another way to get a hundred thousand yen or more in your hands until you reach the end of the game before fighting the final boss or the Ammons.

Winning the battles of the Coliseum

Coliseum is back with the same depth of challenges as the original game. It’s a return mission from the original Yakuza 3, and here it is and it becomes a viable place to earn extra money, but only if you reach the middle stages of the game Yakuza Kiwami 3.

This is the same Coliseum where Kiryu fights Majima in the events of Yakuza Kiwami 2, and for those who are completely unfamiliar with the events of the third game, you won’t be surprised who ends up fighting here to reacquaint themselves with the Coliseum.

Anyway, the Coliseum is generally easy—3 rounds, and the faster you finish your time, the higher your finish rate and you get more money based on that rank. Bronze battles can be a breeze, but if you want to get a lot of money, I highly recommend running the last silver or any gold level battle; they will be the best bang for your buck here.

Defeat the Reapers

If you remember Hitman’s journey from the original Y3, well, you’re in luck because it’s been reworked this time for the Reapers as Kashiwagi assigns you to follow them and track down the mastermind.

Most importantly, these Reaper targets, like their former counterparts, will reward you with a ton of money for defeating them. Now, I know this may come down to their difficulty rating, but trust me when I say they are your best source of money early on if you can handle taking them down then.

Depending on their level of difficulty, the monetary reward can range from tens of thousands to more than a hundred thousand yen, which is convenient for us to get a quick change that you can spend on skills and any other important things you need to get out of the way in Kiwami 3.

How To Get Money Fast From Black Ties

Jumping into the Mine and his bite-sized Dark Ties campaign, he even manages to reach the Coliseum just like Kiryu, but through Hell’s Arena, which is unlocked right after the first chapter in the main story. You can clear various battles here, and I think you can do them easily, because of the fast and furious play style.

However, your main attention will be diverted to the Hell Survival mode, which is also opened next to the arena. Here you can earn millions upon millions of yen like Me as you take on the entire dungeon full of hordes of enemies and chests waiting to be looted on the connecting floors.

As I said in my review of the game, Hell Survival is all like a Roguelite mode where Mine can grow stronger with some of the weapons or new weapons and allies he can get. So, if you feel like the test is starting to waver in your favor, bail out and keep your savings intact, and possibly use it to fully upgrade the Mine first.
