Like a Dragon: Ishin

All Substories in Chapter 3 in Like a Dragon Ishin

By
Jarrod Garripoli

The main stories of the Like A Dragon games are pretty serious, in terms of tone. If you’re looking for more outlandish stories, then you need to look no further than the sidequests in these games, called Substories. You’ll find a list of all the Substories in Chapter 3 on this page.

Where to Find All Substories in Chapter 3

Chapter 3 will expand on the number of Substories you can find, since you will have access to Fushimi, as well as Mukurogai and Rakunai. There is a large number of Substories present in this chapter, so you will be stuck doing the side content, if you decide to do them all right away.

All Chapter 3 Substories in Rakunai

These are all of the Substories you will find in Rakunai, the northernmost section of the map. Ee Ja Nai for Justice requires you to complete Ee Ja Not Ka first.

All Chapter 3 Substories in Mukugorai

These are all of the Substories you will find in Mukugorai, during Chapter 3. Note that Mukugorai will be inaccessible at the beginning of Chapter 3, so keep doing other Substories, until you can find the boatman in the southeastern corner of Fushimi to take you there. It is likely he reappears as you do the Sonna Joui Substory, but if not, keep doing other Substories and he will eventually reappear. Brawler for Hire will require you to complete Ee Ja Nai for Justice before you can do it.
