Best Healing Items In Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii

Summary

• Players should consider using crafted cooking items for the best healing buffs in the game.
• Toughness ZZ is an easily obtained and reliable health-restoring energy drink.
• Staminan Spark is the most powerful energy drink, restoring 100% health and heat, but is expensive.

There are a lot of different items in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. From crafting items, to cooking ingredients, to treasure, the player is always picking up something as they travel around. Among all these different items, it can be tough to get to know the specific use of each one. That’s especially true of the various recovery items in the game, as there are a ton of them.

Healing and recovery items can be roughly split into three categories in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. There are food items, which are bought from convenience stores and restaurants. There are also pharmacy items. These include energy drinks like Toughness and Staminan and come from pharmacies and various other stores. Finally, there are the crafted cooking items, which provide some of the best healing buffs in the game. For players who want to know the go-to healing items, these are the best – and how to get them.

Deluxe Hawaiian Pizza

Pineapple On Pizza

• Effect: 850 HP
• How To Get: Purchase at Pizzeria Felice
• Cost: $46

Not everyone likes pineapple on pizza, but Majima does. That’s judging by the amount of health recovered by the Deluxe Hawaiian Pizza, which heals almost as much as the early health drink Toughness Z. Since players can only carry a limited amount of the health drink items, stopping by the pizzeria is a good option if players don’t want to run down their stocks between fights.

10

Nourishing Sushi Set

Super Sushi

• Effect: 1500 HP
• How To Get: Purchase at Sushi Bar Limbo
• Cost: $180

The Nourishing Sushi Set is among the best restaurant healing items, but the price reflects it. At $180, it’s more expensive than a Toughness ZZ, which heals for the same amount. Still, if players want to keep their stock of Toughness ZZ for a boss fight, then they can always pick up this sushi platter for a big heal.

Toughness ZZ

Moderate HP Recovery

• Effect: 1500 HP
• How To Get: Purchase at Healthy Smile, Gorgeous Rogers, Wan Shang Tong Herbal Medicine
• ​​​​​​​Cost: $150

Toughness ZZ is an ultra-reliable and easy to obtain health-restoring energy drink. It’s available at several pharmacies and stores around Honolulu, as well as regularly found. That means it’s relatively easy for players to always keep a stock of these on hand.

The health boost of 1500 HP won’t be beaten until late in the game, when the player can keep a stack of more powerful drinks, as well as their own crafted food items.

8

Staminan Royale

Health Plus Heat

• Effect: Restore 75% Health & Heat
• How To Get: Purchase at Vincenti, ABC Store, Gorgeous Rogers
• ​​​​​​​Cost: $1000

Staminan Royale is a powerful restorative item, but it’s also pretty expensive as healing drinks go. They cost $1000 each, but they restore 75% of the player’s health and heat, meaning players get access to powerful heat moves as well as health restoration. Players won’t want to rely on buying Staminan Royale until they have money to burn, as similar buffs can be crafted through cooking.

7

Chef’s Whimsy Bento

Homemade Lunchbox

• Effect: 1200 HP (level 3)
• How To Get: Crafted at cooking station
• ​​​​​​​Cost: Meat x 1, Fish x 2

Crafting with the Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii cooking system is one of the best ways for players to keep themselves stocked with cheap healing items throughout the game.

Cooking only costs ingredients, which can be readily found in the environment, or even purchased much more cheaply than healing items. A relatively early but reliable self-crafted heal is the Chef’s Whimsy Bento, which can heal 1200 HP at max quality.

6

Goro Goro Awakening Beer

Madness Gauge Recovery

• Effect: Madness Gauge Fills Faster and recovers 45% Heat (level 3)
• How To Get: Crafted at cooking station (requires Goro Goro Booze Master skill)
• ​​​​​​​Cost: Insect x 4, Egg/Dairy x 4

The Goro Goro Awakening Beer doesn’t heal any HP, but it does restore a decent amount of heat at max quality (45%). It also causes Majima’s madness gauge to fill faster for 60 seconds, which means players can use the powerful doppleganger attacks more frequently. Players will need to purchase the Goro Goro Booze Master skill to craft these items, but the buff is definitely worth it.

5

Toughness Infinity

Full HP Recovery

• Effect: Restores 100% HP
• How To Get: Purchase at Victor’s Cart (may not always appear)
• ​​​​​​​Cost: $400

Toughness Infinity is the best energy drink for HP, restoring 100% of HP and only costing $400. Unfortunately, it’s hard to get hold of these drinks reliably. Players can sometimes purchase them from Victor’s Cart, but they won’t always show up.

Other than that, a few are available as mini-game points rewards, and they can be found rarely in the world. Players that see them in store at Victor’s should stock up while they can.

4

Staminan Spark

Huge Heath And Heat Filler

• Effect: Restores 100% HP and Heat
• How To Get: Purchase at Vincenti, ABC Store, Victor’s Cart
• ​​​​​​​Cost: $2000

Staminan Spark is definitely the most powerful energy drink, as it restores 100% of both health and heat. Although it can be reliably obtained at Vincenti’s and other stores, it’s incredibly expensive, at $2000 a drink.

It’s a good healing item to have, but by the time players have enough money to get a stack of these drinks, they should also be able to craft some pretty strong healing items themselves.

3

Goro Goro Special Hot Pot Meal

Homemade HP And Heat

• Effect: Restores 50% HP and Heat (level 3)
• How To Get: Crafted at the Cooking Station
• ​​​​​​​Cost: Insect x 2, Fish x 2

Getting to chef level 12 will let players craft the Goro Goro Special Hot Pot meal, which restores 50% of both health and heat at max quality. It’s very cheap to craft, needing only two insect and two fish-type ingredients. That makes this a go-to healing item for players until they reach the higher chef ranks later in the game.

2

Goro Goro Special Steak Meal

Healthy Prime Steak

• Effect: Restores 75% Health and Heat (level 3)
• How To Get: Crafted at Cooking Station
• ​​​​​​​Cost: Meat x2, Fruit/Veg x3, Egg/Dairy x 3

Available to make at chef level 18, the Goro Goro Special Steak Meal is an upgraded version of the Hot Pot, restoring 75% health and heat at max quality. It takes a few more ingredients to craft, but its restorative buffs start to rival the strongest healing drinks.

Players might find themselves struggling to find Egg/Dairy type ingredients out in the world. If that’s the case, these ingredients can usually be purchased from convenience stores.

1

Goro Goro Supreme Pot Luck Hot Pot

Huge Homemade HP And Heat Recovery

• Effect: Restores 100% Health and Heat (level 3)
• How To Get: Crafted at Cooking Station
• ​​​​​​​Cost: Meat x 2, Insect x 3, Fish x 3, Fruit/Veg x 3, Egg/Dairy x 3

Once players get all the way to chef rank 21, they can craft the ultimate version of the hot pot, the Goro Goro Supreme Pot Luck Hot Pot. This version restores 100% of health and heat at max quality, and still restores 80% even if players mess up and make a mid-rank version.

It does require ingredients from every category to cook, though, so it’s kind of tough to make these in bulk. That said, it’s arguably much easier and cheaper to source these ingredients than to purchase equivalent health drinks.
