Kiryu is resistant to physical attacks, but is very susceptible to poisonous substance attacks which can chip abroad at his health over time.

As a brawler, Kiryu volition switch between different stances based on his health. When the fight begins, he'll utilise his Brawler stance which focuses on utilizing punches and kicks to bargain massive harm. It's besides wise to utilize Kasuga's Peerless Resolve ability if you've unlocked it equally it allows him to avoid taking fatal damage and can be applied multiple times throughout the battle to avert a game over.

At ii/3 HP, Kazuma enters his Rush stance which focuses more than on evasion.

His last phase comes around one/4 HP remaining and it'southward the Dragon of Dojima opinion. His arms will glow with blue flames and he will evade and parry many of your party's attacks. Make sure to apply poison once more and he'll eventually fall.

After the fight is over yous'll accept a few cutscenes to spotter. One time you regain command of Kasuga, follow Kiryu into the monitor room.

Information technology's recommended to heal up at the Survive Bar nearby before continuing equally you'll be facing some tough enemies soon. Once you're ready, head over to the map marker. But before inbound the building, y'all'll exist ambushed by some of Ishioda's men.

Fight: Ishioda Family

This fight is against six Lv. 55 Tokyo Omi Brotherhood Members: Isobe, Nagai, Konishi, Ishizuka, Ohara, and Nakayama. Most of these enemies don't pose a threat, save for Isobe who wields a bat and tin can dish out some decent harm. Focus on using area attacks likewise as fire and electric attacks to end off the lesser enemies. Isobe is surprisingly tanky, just weak to electrical and slash damage. So, keep stacking it up on him and he should fall somewhen.

After the fight, grab the War God'south Keystone on the floor nearby. Once you're ready, go along through the door marked inside Ishioda's hideout.

Fight: Ishioda Family

Yous'll be thrown into another fight immediately confronting v more Tokyo Omi Brotherhood Members, led past Hirabayashi (Lv. 54). There's also four Lv. 53 members: Deguchi, Imaizumi, Shinoda, and Akita.

Mirror Face up is tanky (every bit expected) and you lot should focus on taking him out first using slash and gun attacks to exploit his weaknesses. It's as well recommended to utilize some toxicant attacks early to deal damage over time to both Mirror Face and Reiji.

Mirror Confront tin can occasionally guard attacks to reduce impairment and Reiji can counter your party fellow member's attacks, equally well, and then brand sure to keep your healing up with Saeko at all times.

Tip: This fight is also a peachy time to call Goro Majima through Poundmates as his summon animation is absolutely something yous demand to see and his knife attacks deal significant damage to Mirror Face.

In one case Mirror Face up is out of the picture, the fight is much more manageable. Reiji doesn't hit as hard and is weak to water ice, fire, and electric attacks, so bring in Nanba and let loose with some Pyro-techniques.

When Reiji'south health drops below l% he will use Malicious Grin to raise his attack and resistance to condition ailments. The party will also be struck with fright, so you lot'll either need to wait for information technology to clothing off or remedy information technology using items. As long as you lot proceed your healing up and have some sort of status issue chipping away at Reiji's health, he will eventually fall to your attacks.

After some explosive final cutscenes you'll proceeds access to Kazuma Kiryu through Poundmates and Affiliate 14 will be over.
