Essential Early-Game Crew Recruitment in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Building a formidable pirate crew is paramount in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This guide highlights five crew members easily recruited early on, accelerating your progress through the game's narrative. The main story requires you to earn $10,000 for ship repairs and recruit five crew members before proceeding. These five make that process significantly faster.

1. Nickelle Kidman: Located near Honolulu beach, Nickelle joins once your crew achieves a two-star rating. This is easily attained by completing early main story missions, treasure hunting, combat encounters, or naval battles.

2. Hammerhead: Found on the second floor of Honolulu's shopping center, this recruit requires a quick fight. His relatively low health makes him an easy addition to your crew.

3. Kenzo: This dockhand in Honolulu's beach area joins your crew by either providing him with readily available raw materials or a small sum of money. You'll likely have acquired both during your early adventures.

4. Lucas: Located in Madlantis, Lucas presents another straightforward fight. While wielding a melee weapon, he's manageable after facing previous in-game challenges.

5. Obispo: Recruiting Obispo simply involves dining at his Honolulu establishment five times. The frequent enemy spawns near his restaurant conveniently allow you to lower your health before each meal, triggering the recruitment event.

While numerous other crew members await, these five provide the quickest path to advancing the Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth storyline. Focus on higher-stat recruits later in the game as challenges intensify.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
