The Like a Dragon series is known for its weird and quirky quests, and NPC requests if you exclude the mini-games. That is also the case for The Man Who Erased His Name. One quirky quest involves collecting 7 golden balls to complete a quest and also unlock the Gotta Catch ’em Balls! Achievement as well. So here is the location of all Gold Ball in Like a Dragon Gaiden and how to get them all.
Location of All 7 Gold Balls in Like a Dragon Gaiden
As you progress through the game, you will unlock the quest to collect all Gold Balls as part of the Akame Network. These golden balls are hidden around Sotenbori and the Castle, and you must find each of them and, in some cases, purchase them. You can find the location of each Gold Ball down below:
- Kiss Shot Billiards & Bar
- Ebisu Pawn
- Akame Shop
- Sotenbori Footpath
- The Castle, Dancers
- The Castle, Statue
- Shofukucho, Store Sign
Gold Ball #1 – Kiss Shot Billiards & Bar – Like a Dragon Gaiden
The Kiss Shot Billiards & Bar is located on the southwestern side of the map. Go inside the bar, speak with the employee of the shop and select Exchange Points. You can purchase the first Gold Ball from the employee’s inventory for 777 pts. You can collect points by playing billiards in the bar.
Gold Ball #2 – Ebisu Pawn
The next Gold Ball can be purchased from Ebisu Pawn, located on E. Shofukucho Street. The price of the ball will be ¥77,777.
Gold Ball #3 – Akame Shop
This is probably the most expensive Gold Ball you must collect. Firstly you have to spend ¥15,000 to unlock the Akame shop and then invest another ¥80,000 and ¥150,000 to expand the shop and unlock the Gold Ball. Then, you have to collect 777 points to be able to purchase the Gold Ball from the employee of the shop.
Gold Ball #4 – Sotenbori Footpath – Like a Dragon Gaiden
You don’t need to spend money for this one but it is the weirdest place you find a Gold Ball. Head to the W Sotenbori Footpath and near the river wait for the yellow boat that passes regularly. In front of that boat, you will see a man posing with a glowy crotch. Use your Spider gadget to snatch the gold bar from his crotch.
Gold Ball #5 – The Castle, Dancers
If you thought that was the only time you were going to grab a Gold Ball from the crotch of someone, you are wrong. The next Gold Ball is in the Castle. Go to the left side of the Casino and look out from the balcony to see dancers at a party. One of the dancers has a shiny crotch and you have to use your Spider gadget to grab it.
Gold Ball #6 – The Castle, Statue
This is the last time you have to grab a Gold Ball from a crotch. There is a giant statue in The Castle, and another Gold Ball is between its legs. Use the entrance from the main street to enter the Castle, turn right, and use the stairs to go up and be able to see the Gold ball.
Gold Ball #7 – Shofukucho, Store Sign
To make the last Gold Ball appear in the game, you must first speak with a man sitting underneath the umbrella on Sotenbori Footpath. After speaking with him, go to the W Shofukucho, and above the store sign, you can grab the last Gold Ball with your gadget.
With that, you’ve got all the Gold Balls in Like a Dragon Gaiden. Return the balls to Akame and earn your hard-earned reward.
Like a Dragon Gaiden is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
