There are X Substories, much like side quests, in Infinite Wealth. In this Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth we’ll tell you where you can find the location of all of the different Substory events, the rewards you receive for completing them, and any hints and tips for the more challenging Substories.
Important Note: Some Substories are only available at certain times. If a Substory is not at the location listed above, wait until it either changes to Night or Day and then try again.
You can find this Substory in Chapter 1 at this location, after you buy the Bottle of Sake for the main story. Simply beat down the thugs to complete the Substory. You unlock a new app on your phone to make playlists and listen to a radio station.
You get this Substory in Chapter 2 automatically, when you are leaving for Hawaii. Simply win the fight and you will unlock a new phone app. Check out our Sujimon League Guide for tips and tricks.
Ride the tram here, you can wait if it’s not there, and you will start this Substory. When you are trying to snap pictures of the sickos, try to let them come into the cameras view, rather than spinning and turning to get them in focus.
Speak to the child at Tony’s Lemonade Stand at this location to start the Substory. Offer to help and deliver the drinks. All the people are nearby, you don’t need to cross the road. Look for the people that talk about being thirsty or hot. Do something else, go to eat or start another Substory, and the Substory icon on the map for Tony should turn blue. This means you can return for the next stage of the Substory. As before, run around and head to each of the blue dots on the map and see if they are thirsty. On the final parts of the Substory, before you head to Fuji Street, make sure to save the game. There are some high level enemies here that may take you out.
Head to this location so you can find Nancy’s love interest….Only in a Yakuza game. After the intro cut-scene the next part of this mission is on the same beach but for me it took a long time to appear. Run around doing other activities until the blue Substory icon appears at this beach on your map, then you can continue the Substory. Then head to Momo Street at the North of the map for the flowers. They are pink flowers near the tree. After that, you need to head to Resort Blvd for the next stage. You get a Jeweled Shell and Olivia joins you at your base. You also get Nancy and Olivia Poundmates.
Head to this location and speak with the chef. You can only do this Substory during the daytime.

Greeting 3: Go about halfway up to Friendly
For the orders
Cheerful Customer: Ahi Poke, three Haupia
Customer in black: Acai Bowl and Lau Lau
Elegant Customer: Mahi Mahi
When you have to choose the Lau Lau dish, it was the left one for me. It’s the dish with what looks like sticky rice and a large green vegetable. Then you need to pick the Kalua Pig, this is the only meal you weren’t shown on the menu, so it’s the central dish with rice, green leaves, and what looks like some kind of meat. Finally, the owners name is Obispo. You get an Employee Meal and a book to increase the Chef Job by 1, and $300.
Speak to the man on his knees and help him find his hotel. You get a White Plumeria. Go and eat or do a fight and then return to speak with Sawai again. Do another quick mission, the choice doesn’t matter, then a final Substory and tell him the truth. At the end of the Substory, you get a Happy Lei equipment piece.
Head to the beach and speak to the man surrounded by people fanning him with small plates. Once you’ve started the Substory, head to the new icon to the West, on Aloha Street, just before the junction to River Street. Help the Shaman with the box once you arrive. You then need to perform the act. You get a Def Boom Box equipment item.
Head to this location and speak with the girl hiding behind the surfboards. You need to search the beach for Tanabe-kun. You are given a picture of the man and told he likes baseball. You are given the following clues:
Tanabe’s not in the left row
He’s between the red and yellow parasols (if looking at the ocean)
He’s facing his friend Sato
He’s not next to a watermelon
It’s the one in the second row to the left (as you face the building) with the glasses, 2 below the melon. You get a Courage Pendant item.

You get Bright Yellow Sweets x2 and unlock Nathan as a Poundmate.
Swim out into the ocean to start this Substory. Run around the beach looking at the people marked with a blue icon on the map. Approach them. If they talk about being tired, fatigued, thirsty, or are doing activities that are considered laborious, offer them a drink. You get a Resurrection Bolus.
You can find this Substory on the beach at the lifeguards hut. It becomes available after you have completed Substory 16 and enough time has passed. You need to find the woman’s lost daughter who is called Emmy, wearing a red swimsuit, and a straw hat with a blue ribbon, she’s 6 years old. The description the women gives is actually incorrect. She’s at the far end of the beach, near an old lady standing near inflatable rings.
Then you need to find Billy, he’s near the other end of the beach, a boy playing near a small pile of sand, orange hat, white swimshorts. You get a book to increase Kindness.
Complete Substory 16: Beach Guardian Water, Water Everywhere and Substory 17: Beach Guardian No Kidding Around and, after some time, this Substory will unlock at the lifeguard hut on the beach. You get Infrared Goggles equipment.

I did this Substory at night. After the intro parts you’ll need to wait some time for the next stage to appear on Anaconda Blvd. Follow the objectives, when you need to know his name, respond with Sorata.
This Substory is a little different. Head to the location above, near the pagoda, and you will smell some flowers. The icon then vanishes but you don’t get a Substory. Now head South, to Anaconda Harbor Park, and there’s another icon. After that, you want to head to Waikiki Street on the East side of town and go to that icon.

This is in the Anaconda Shopping Center, the large shopping center in the West of Honolulu. Head inside and then go up the escalator to reach the 2nd level, you will find this Substory here. Once started, head East to Kaku Avenue for the next stage of the Substory. Then head back to the Anaconda Shopping Center 2F. After that cut-scene, head to River Street. Finally, head to the very North East corner of the map for the next objective. Then all the way West again for the next one. Then back to the beach on the East. You get a Signed Golem T-Shirt
This is in the Anaconda Shopping Center, the large shopping center in the West of Honolulu. Head inside and then go up the escalator to reach the 2nd level, you will find this Substory here. This one is like a minigame but as soon as you go down the escalator, it ends. I wasn’t able to complete any challenges. If you simply rush to the exit, you get a Silver Plate. If you complete all objectives, you get 2 Silver Plates and 1x Safe Key.
Head to this location and you will see a couple of stunt men arguing with a director. Take them out to start the Substory. You need to complete an action scene. Run at full speed until about the last 15% of the course and then drop down to slow to avoid the cars turning the corner into the finish line easier. If you fail you can make it easier but you get less rewards. If you finish on the regular car setting, you get Kaiser’s Change Holder and a Reflex Booster.
I did this Substory at night. This Substory is only available if you have already completed Substory 15: Samurai May We Walk Together and Substory 27: The Pursuit Of Realism.

I did this one at night. Approach the Alo-Happy Tours shop here to start this Substory. Speak to the professor. He asks you to donate $3,000.

You must have completed Substory 29: Litterbugged for this Substory to be available. Head to this location and speak with the lady and the police officer to start this Substory. Then head into the Worldwide Market Village. You then need to wait until night. It was dark for me, but still wasn’t considered night time. I followed the story into Chapter 7 and then noticed her icon at the Worldwide Market Village. When you get prompted, use the Rocket Launcher. This is another tough fight, Sojimaru is weak to fire. There is a battery pack nearby that I destroyed first. You get nearly 30,000 XP and $6k cash for this Substory and a Hibiscus Hair Band and Ancient Coin.
This Substory is part of the main story. You unlock it during Chapter 5 and it teaches you the bases of the job system, such as how to unlock new jobs.
Substory 33 marks the unlocking of Dondoko Island, the minigame. It’s part of the main story, you cannot miss it, it begins near the beginning of Chapter 6
Speak to the crying woman at this location at night. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a save file near this point and there are Personality Choices in the Substory.
You’re a cute kitty – Stylish XP
I don’t think the drink choice matters as she drugs your next drink anyway. From there it’s just following objective markers. After she meets Zack again and agrees to turn herself in, you may need to wait a while for the next stage to appear. I continued with the story until it was daytime and I found her South of Anaconda Shopping Center. Follow the objectives, beat the cop down, complete the Substory.

After completing Substory 44: A Changed Man, wait some time and Asakura will contact you again regarding another fight. Head to the same location and take him down. He’s level 33 in this fight and greatly increases his critical hit rate throughout, so make sure you’re prepared with some buff stripping abilities. Paralyze seems to work quite well. You learn Knockout Combo.
After you complete Substory 45: The Final Showdown For Real, Asakura will once again contact you via the phone after some time has passed. He will invite you to the docks for one final encounter. You need to fight off three waves of enemies. They don’t hit too hard but they are very fast, so will likely get a lot of turns before you do. Focus on healing, buffing, and staying alive, let Asakura do most of the damage. Starting the fight with a defense buff (level 2 or above) item is a big help. You get a Brawler God’s Mouthguard
Head to the main Alo-Happy Tours (Waikiki) office and speak with Elizabeth behind the counter. You will need to pick her up some gifts.
