In chapter 5 or 6, you'll meet Ibuki of the HLA. He'll bring you back to his headquarters and from then on out, you'll have access to Hitmen missions. Hitmen missions increase in difficulty as you progress through them, but also get more and more lucrative. Hell, the very first mission starts out at 70,000 reward.

Okay, this bad boy can be a pain. You only need to open the top row of each set of lockers [1-10], but it seems like the single digit locker keys are the hardest to find. You shouldn't have much trouble finding keys in Ryukyu. Make sure you check every street and inside every store. When you're done that, there are two or three back at Sunshine. When that's done, go back downtown and start using to look in trees, above awnings, etc. Your cat is butt-ass ugly. That's where it gets difficult. Rinse and repeat when you get to Kamurocho, though it should be harder since the city is bigger. As for the 1-10 keys, they are as follows....

Ryukyu

ONE: In the southwest corner of Kariyushi St. and Market, on a white/green striped awning.

TWO: Inside Aqua Sky

Also note that Pronto has both a day menu and a night menu. When you reach chapter 12, you can access either at anytime. So if you're trying to get this before chapter 12 you have to stop by Pronto during the day and the night.

Fairly simple. For people who don't know, a HEAT action is when you're glowing funny colors and the badguys go boom in slow motion! In other words, when you get your HEAT gauge up high enough, you can tap to perform special techniques. I started this from the beginning, at that point you don't have many HEAT actions. I found it easy to take the last guy in a brawl, grapple him and bring him near a wall or bike rack and hit . Keep in mind, a heat action will kill any non-boss character through most of the game.

As you progress, beat more new opponents, and win tournaments, the point exchange will get more new, cool items for you to exchange points for.

All the weapons and items you've been finding/collecting will finally come to use. The weapon store (not van) in Ryukya (next to the Ryudo Family Offices) finally allows you to do something with all that weird shit you couldn't find use for. Buy or find DVDs so you can learn how to put together new weapons with found materials.

NOTE: You don't have to be carrying the specified items to make a modded weapon. For example: If you wanna make a "Shixt Shooter" (TM, me) and you need a Shotgun, a piece of horse shit, and a clothes hangar, you don't need those items equipped. When making a modded weapon, you can access your hideout's inventory. Keep that in mind.

You'll run into Mack, the Revelation guy, right before leaving for Kamurocho. He'll approach you and make you film some crazy old lady on a scooter, with your phone. The objective is to take three pictures, using quick-time events, and choosing one of them to learn a new move. Your trophy will come with this first, practically unmissable, Revelation, so don't fret. However, from then on out, you'll get emails from Mack informing you about new Revelations scattered around the city. You'll get an email with a hint and a location. Find that person, go into . This will start a cut scene. Take your pictures and then choose the correct picture in the end. This can be confusing, but if you mess up, don't worry. Simply go into a store, come back out, and that idiot/crazy person is ready to go once again.

I found this to be one of the easiest mini-game specific tropies. I'm sure some others will see eye to eye with me, and some others won't. For those people, this is what I found successful... Kazuma's hand is key. Raise his hand so his index finger and thumb are just slightly above the bullseye. Keep in mind that you do NOT need to get all three in the black. They just have to be in either black or red, the more likely hit. With his fingers just slightly above the bullseye, pull back on and push forward, in a faster motion than you pulled back. NOT too fast. The throw can be tricky. You just gotta get a hang of it. Remember, you don't wanna pull all the way back and you don't wanna push it all the way forward.

To "break ace" you must get the nine ball into the hole when you're breaking in pool. For those who don't know what breaking is, it's the very first shot in the game. When all the balls are together in a diamond shape and someone shoots the white ball into them, that's breaking. The objective is to get the nine-ball into a socket while you break. Okay, I just got this trophy and this is what I did... while breaking, I moved the ball over to the right so it aligned with the purple ball, the second one in the diamond (to the right of the ball in the front). Then I lined my shot up with that purple ball and shot with full force. I got three balls in, including the 9 ball. If anyone else has any tips, please share them.

This is a piece of cake. Throughout the game, at several Smile Burgers, you'll find dates. Take these women out and choose karaoke. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Though on the dates you can't choose which songs to sing, they won't always be the same ones (unless you take the same girl out twice). Once you're done dating, head over to a karaoke place alone and you can complete the others. There are only 6 or so songs and the game isn't much of a challenge. This is an easy bronze.

This can be quite difficult. I'm sure we've all got a turkey or two in Wii Sports or GTA IV, but Yakuza isn't that simple. I recommend you take a few steps to the right or left when preparing to throw your ball. Let's use right as the example. Take a few steps to the right and line your shot up so when you throw it will turn to the left a little before it hits the pins. At the right angle, you can hit the core of the pins and get yourself a strike. You wanna aim towards the first and third pin. Three strikes in a row equals turkey. Make sure you choose to do 10 rounds when playing a game.

The game you're gonna wanna play here is Cho-han. Cho-han starts out with you being able to bet 200 tags and makes you choose odd or even. After a certain amount of earning, you'll be able to guess what one of the two dice will read. I recommend always choosing 1. It seems it comes up more than any other number. After some more winning, you'll be able to guess both dice, bet against the house and bet up to 1,000 tags. I recommend sticking with betting on one die and choosing 1, with a bet of 300 tags. If you win, you can challenge the house. Based on your winnings and whether you feel comfortable enough, challenge the house and choose odd or even. You'll double your winnings. This is probably the easiest way to get this trophy.

"This one is easy to get, buy 1000 chips(100,000 yen) and bet 500 on red and 500 on black thay way you will always get 1000 chips back and you will get the trophy in no time. To get the 100k back buy a gold plate with the chips and sell it to ebisu pawn" - Credit to Mixem.

Mini-game Master makes this trophy look like a little girl. This one will give you much less grief than Mini-game Master. UFO Catcher can be either easy or hard. I believe it depends on the animals in the machine at the time. The bigger the doll, the less it likes you. Stick with the small guys. The small Piyo-chans (ducks), are easy targets. Once you knock them on their face, at the right angle, they shouldn't be a problem at all. Kura-chan, the anime girl doll, is also easy picking, as are the Beary Bears. The ones I had trouble with are the cats. Try and find a UFO Catcher with some diversity. If you don't like the selection or if you mess up all the dolls, go see an employee and they'll put new dolls in. As for Boxcelios, this takes some practice, but can definitely be mastered. My first tip is to hold instead of tapping it. This will release rapid, non-stop fire. You won't get the high-score unless you kill a majority of the ships by their sweet spot. To do this, but yourself a little bit above the ship. When that ship rises, which it will, you'll automatically kill it by hitting it's sweet spot. Don't get frustrated with this game. Patience is key.

I found this to be easy. Ever since I got this trophy, I've been hitting two panels at a time, non-stop. The key is the crosshair. You want to align the crosshair with the edges of the panels. What I found easiest was to put the cross hair at the edges of 2, 3, 5 and 6. That way you have a chance to hit either 2 and 3, 3 and 6, 2 and 5, or 5 and 6. This increases your chances. Make sure you don't swing too early. It has to be just right.

I got this one without trying. During chapter 4, I believe it is, you meet up with an import political figure in Ryukyu. It's part of the main story and it's the first time you go to the golf course. The key is to just get the strongest shot. Let each meter hit the top of the bar and right on the notch for full power. You're going to whant to do this on the first hole, because I think it's the longest. You can retry your shot as many times as you'd like, so when you finally get it, you can progress in the match.

You're going to want to get shrimp for bait. Empty your inventory and hit up the public market Downtown and fill up on shrimp. Others will detest that worms can do the job, but don't risk wasting time, unless you want to. So fill up on the shrimp, head back home and save. Go right to the fishing pole and start fishing. You're going to want to keep trying until you see fish around the 120-150 zone on the map. This is where you'll find Tuna.

NOTE: Don't forget to pick up trash on the beach every time you stop and start fishing.

This one is trouble. It involves perfecting and completing every mini-game Yakuza has to offer. It's probably the most time consuming trophy in the game, next to "Sub-story Completionist". For help and tips on this trophy, visit this thread here.

Ultimate Skill mode is a game type that is unlocked when you beat the game. There are several categories and each has ten rounds that get progressively harder, with specific conditions, ie: beat 3 men without losing HEAT, race around Tokyo, etc. A skilled combatant can get far in game types like Melee, but they will definitely challenge you in the later rounds. Complete every round of each category to get this trophy.

This is self explanatory. Complete the main-quest again on Extra Hard difficulty. You MUST complete hard mode to unlock Extra Hard. So if you played on Normal your first time around, you're gonna have to play again two more times.

This one's easy. Don't take taxis, just walk everywhere. You'll get this is no time, so don't fret over it. Some people are saying that they get it later than 42,195km, so don't panic if it doesn't come right away.

Ten million yen is a lot of money. You must have it all on you at once. I recommend doing as many side-missions and random encounters possible. Sure the random encounters get annoying and you just want to run from them, but some pay out thirty to fifty thousand yen. Most importantly of all,

COMPLETE ALL HITMAN MISSIONS.

They pay out more than anything else and as they get harder, they become more lucrative. The coliseum isn't the best place to find cash, however when you've finished it completely, the money adds up. Also, find a gambling game that you're good at and win away. There are items out there that help you win at certain games, like the Lopsided Cigarette. Using those items helps a lot with gambling. At the end of the game, you will get 2 million yen. It's a nice boost. Just keep trucking along and not spending and you'll find this trophy.
