Though not needed for any of the trophies, we thought it'll be nice to list out the challenges for people who want to complete them.

Note that when you decide to start on a Premium New Game via Clear Data, Challenges are reset. If you haven completed them previously though, they'll still be marked as complete.

Why complete the challenges? Well for one, cause it offers you rewards that will make not only enhance your gameplay experience, but also help you out when you play on Ex-Hard. That said though, Ex-Hard is not that difficult at all; the challenges are just for good fun for people who want to get more out of the game besides earning their platinum.

This is meant to be a database and whatnot, its not really a guide. We have given a few tips for some of the challenges, but for a majority of them a walkthrough or guide isn't really needed since most of them are relatively straightforward.

Lockers (100/100)
Unlock all one hundred lockers, under and above ground.
Reward: Beads of Good Fortune - Reduces random encounters

Simply open all 200 lockers to complete this challenge. Nothing to it.

To distinguish between Taihei Blvd. keys from the Underground Locker keys, as a general rule, keys found on the rooftops or underground are for the Underground Lockers. Keys found throughout Kamurocho are for use in the Taihei Lockers.

Locations for each locker key and its contents in text is listed below in spoiler tags.

Dining Checklist

Order one of everything in every restaurant in Kamurocho to complete this challenge. You know you've eaten an item in the menu as a red checkmark will appear beside the item. You can also check which item you've eaten in the Challenges Menu.

Similar to Yakuza 3, certain items only appear in the menu when you have a copy of "Tokyo Isshun" in your inventory. To obtain one, buy one from any of the convience stores.

In addition, restaurants like Pronto have completely different menus during the Day and Night.

Note that the final menu item for Kyushu No. 1 Star is unlocked upon completing Kiryu's substory, "Master vs. Apprentice".

Reward: Hercules Gauntlet - Enemies cannot get out of your grabs

Kamiyama Shop (Weapons) - Located in an alley near West Park.
Kamiya Shop (Gear) - Located in Kamurocho Rooftops West

As you might have been already aware, opening lockers, defeating troublemakers in the streets of Kamurocho, completing Substories, all award you with random items. Raw materials can also be obtained by purchasing them through the many convenience stores of Kamurocho.

To create a weapon, you will need to have acquired the design and a base weapon + two other raw materials. Note that the materials don't need to be in your inventory; you can leave them in the Save Storage and you will still be able to use them when making weapons.

In addition, the Kamiyama brothers themselves and the Ebisu Pawn Shop sell items and weapons specific to each character. In order to make weapons or gears, you must obtain the manuals and designs first. You can obtain them by buying them from Beam on Pink St., as well as completing substories and challenges. Note that again, Beam sells different mod designs specific for each character.

Minigames (23/23)
Complete each minigame.
Reward: Golden Gun - Infinite ammo; strongest weapon in the game

Unlike Yakuza 3 where completing each Minigame fully was required for the platinum, you only need to do certain tasks in specific minigames to unlock certain trophies. For those sadistic individuals who want to achieve 100% completion in Yakuza 4, you will have to once again meet each minigame's requirement.

Minigame Checklist

Tips:

Aromatherapy Massage

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: None Method: Try to keep the target between the lower and upper ends. Maintaining the target near the upper end scores more points, but is also prone to ending the minigame early as the target's position moves and fluctuates on its own accord throughout the session.

Darts

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: None Method: Aim the dart so that the circle between the "feathers" is pointed directly at where you want it. Pull down about 50% and hold for 1-2 seconds, then let go.

Pool

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: None Method: Try to aim for the middle pockets if you find it tough to pocket the balls. If you think a direct hit doesn't stand a chance, hit the target ball by deflectin the cue of the sides of the table ("V" shot) however you want at Full Power and 60% of the time the ball just pockets in an absurd and ridiculous way.

Table Tennis

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: None Method: Always use Power Shots to build up your HEAT meter and use to aim for the corners of the table. Press to stare at your opponent up until before she hit her ball to further increase your HEAT. At higher difficulties she will even manage to return the ball even if you use HEAT actions so it becomes a game of attrition where first one to make a mistake loses.

Bowling

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

To complete Bowling, you need to score 200 points or more in one 10 Frame game. For tips, take two steps right, aim for the middle, and use 90% or higher in power. If you mess up with your aim, compensate it by adding a small spin to the ball. Here's a video of someone bowling a perfect 300 game: YouTube - Yakuza 4 - Perfect Game - 300 Bowling YouTube - Yakuza 4 - Perfect Game - 300 Bowling

Cee-Lo

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: Trips Yokan You must earn a total of 20,000 points to complete this. To complete as fast as possible, start a game with at least 10,000 Tags to start, so the other players will also have 10,000 Tags. Bet low until it is your turn as the Banker, then use one of the Cheat Items so you'll roll a 4-5-6 meaning your winnings will be doubled or tripled. If you mess up, simply reload an older save and try again.

Cho Han

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: Even Goro's Beads - make the dice come up even on the current game. Lopsider Cigarette - causes the other players' bets to be biased to oneside (odd or even) so if you bet against them - and *if* the dice come out in your favour - you will win more. You must earn a total of 20,000 points (Cumulative) to complete this. Cho-Han is a game of dice and luck. Two dices are thrown and concealed and players have the option to guess if its Even or Odd. Up to 7 players (6 AI) will play the game. The payouts are better if you are guessed correctly and more of the AI players are wrong. Your maximum bet is initially limited to 200, which gradually increases by winning more bets.

You start with 30 seconds on the clock, and are given 2 seconds at the beginning of each level before the time starts counting down. If you defeat the enemy within those 2 seconds, you are given the time left from those 2 seconds to your overall time. Some things to note: - Firing slows you down, so don't shoot unless you are really close to the object or confident that you'll hit the core - Holding down enables rapid fire - Touching the enemy will not hurt you, so get as close as before you start firing

Batting Cage

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Cheat Items: None Method: For extra-hard difficulty, you need to "create" your own reticule to have a chance at beating the target score. You can do this by playing on a lower difficulty, cut and paste a cellotape right where the reticule appears on your screen. The game always has the reticule appearing in the center of the screen (i.e you're moving the camera instead of the reticule) so it will always be in the middle.

Golf Clubs - Red Shark, Blue Fox Golf Balls - Titanium Ball All can be gotten in lockers. In progress

Fishing

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

You must fish in one of every fish on the list to complete this. Unlike Yakuza 3, you'll be doing fishing at the Docks of Kamurocho instead. To keep this simple, you move your rod to follow the fish. If it goes left, move the rod left; if it goes right, move the rod right. The fishes do not respawn until you quit the fishing menu altogether and reselect it to start fishing again.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Originally Posted by yewjhin Hostess Maker Guide While playing as Akiyama, you should have received a call from the manager of Elise, who asks for your help in recruiting new hostesses for the club. There are 3 girls that you can recruit: Hiyori - In front of Millennium Tower Nanami - Cuez Bar, Underground Mall Kyoko - Bantam Bar, Millennium Tower East Your objective is to train these Trainee Hostesses to become the No.1 Hostess of the Club. You can only recruit Nanami after successfully training Hiyori to No. 1, and same applies for Kyoko. Minigame Mechanics This is how the minigame plays out: Each time you enter Elise, you will engage in 3 rounds of Mix-and-Match. In the beginning and between each round, Akiyama will walk around Elise to survey the customers requirements. Pay attention to terms like "Conservative, Adorable/Cute, Glitzy/Flashy, Elegant/Gorgeous" and "Intelligent, Conversation/Talk, Beautiful". These are the traits your Hostess must fulfill in the next round. Return to the dressing room and dress up your Hostess to match the requirements according to which of the 4 categories (Conservative/Cute/Flashy/Gorgeous) that the customers requested. You can also train her to improve her stats in Appearance, Wit and Conversation. At the same time, you will need to manage her Motivation and Stress Levels. Her Stress Level increases naturally after each round, when you change her appearance and/or when you give her Stat training. You can lower her Stress Level by choosing "Free Time" or "Relaxation" in the training menu You can increase Motivation by selecting "Pep Talk" in training menu or if you dress up appropriately according to the request At the end of the session, you will be given a results screen showing how much the Hostess earned and her current rank. Half of her sales figure will be added to your funds which you can use for purchasing new Clothes and Accessories, or for changing hairstyles and nails in between rounds. To be the No.1 ranked hostess, your trainee must fulfill these criteria: • Achieve a sales of 150,000 yen • Achieve S in each of her stats: Appearance, Wit and Conversation Missable Trophy - Fashionista As you begin to train your hostess more often, you will unlock more Outfits, Accessories, and Hairstyles for selection during Dress Up. In total there will be 23 different types of outfits available by the time you begin training Kyoko. I'm not 100% sure on the conditions in which they unlock, its been said that you just need to play this minigames for a certain amount of times to unlock. My gut feeling tells me it may also be related to how well your hostess performs (i.e how many "good" service cutscenes you have observed in total) You need to purchase at least 1 of each outfit type from the Dress-Up menu (not from shops in town!) BEFORE you get all three Hostesses to the No.1 rank, because this minigame ends after that and there will be no further opportunities to access the Dress Up menu afterwards. List of Outfits (Not necessary to own each color variation, only 1 of each type) Dress-Up Strategy: If you're having trouble dressing up your Hostesses to match the customer's requirements, refer to the following dress-up strategies. Credits to Minamo from GameFAQs Max Cute Outfit Max Conservative Outfit Max Flashy/Gorgeous Outfit Training Strategy There's not much to say here except that training is crucial to increasing the Hostess' stats, and managing Motivation and Stress levels. You will start with the first 4 options available and unlock more as you progress. Motivation - Crucial to the learning process of the Hostess. Increasing Motivation will increase the % of her successfully responding to training and increasing her Stats. Stress - A hostess with less stress will perform slightly better, but most importantly, if her Stress level is maxed out, she will skip work and not show up the next time you visit Elise. You may need to go in and out a few times until she returns to work; in addition she will also suffer a dip in Motivation and Stats when she returns. The training options available are: • Appearance - Increases Appearance stat; + Moderate Stress • Wit - Increases Wit stat; + Moderate Stress • Conversation - Increases Conversation stat; + Moderate Stress • Free Time - Reduces Stress levels, may increase random stat by a little • Scold - Increases all stats somewhat; - Alot Motivation • Relaxation - Reduces Stress level alot, may also decrease stats • Pep Talk - Increases Motivation, + Little Stress Most of the time, it is better to start off with Pep Talk/Training before the 1st round, Relaxation before the 2nd round, and Training again in the 3rd round. It is up to you to observe and manage the Hostess' Motivation and Stress levels.

Method in obtaining S rank for everyone, as well as the Dojo:
Originally posted by Senor Nemesis of GameFAQs

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

The most important bit for getting S rank is in the student's stats, not how quickly you beat the tournament. Take your time maxing out everyone's stats before hitting the tournament, taking even up to 40+ turns for Hideo. First off have them stretch until their Condition is maxed (purple smiley face), then start doing meetings to increase their trust towards you. There will always be one answer which increases trust and gives a skill, another which only increases trust, and the last one will decrease trust. There will be 3 or 4 meetings, up until Saejima goes (So what should I talk about?), which indicates nothing special will happen during meetings anymore. In addition, there'll be a special event during the first few turns for each student, which is an opportunity to increase trust further. Once you're finished with the meetings, work on Sparring to increase their Trust. With Trust maximized, the students should not ever ditch their training, so this step is vital, especially for the 3rd and 4th students. Next, teach the student some Finishers; just stick to Guard Breaker, as it does great damage and only requires the opponent to be on the ground. Once you feel he's strong enough, register him in some easy exhibitions. Keep training and doing exhibitions until his abilities are maxed, then go for the Tournament. You'll should get an S rank no problem. For training, stick to Punching, Kicking, Groundwork, Roadwork, Stretching and Rest. Take note of when your students' abilities are maxed, exhibitions are good because they increase all abilities, so when you notice one stat not increasing after an exhibition, that stat is maxed for that student. Also take not of their HP bar. Each student has a different Max HP. During a fight, watch your HP bar; there will be a 2 lines on the bar, one indicating your current max HP, and another for potential max HP. Once it hits the 2nd line stop all HP Training. Using this method, you should have enough money to get Punching, Kicking, Groundwork, Roadwork, Stretching and Rest to Rank 3, which is enough for S ranking the Dojo.

Each of these gangs have a theme and the members will always wear similar clothing (eg. Blue for Aqua Devils). In order to confront the Gang Leader, you must defeat the members wandering around Kamurocho or get an e-mail from Akaishi, before the location of the Gang Leader is revealed. If you're having trouble spawning gang members, enter and exit establishments to restart the map.

Gang Leader Locations:
