Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties were released on Steam to mixed reception, mainly due to content removal. The majority of the fans did not like RGG replacing some of the main content. However, the content is pretty enjoyable, and someone who has not played the original game may enjoy it a lot. For more information, head over to its Steam page.
Now you are in the final saga of the game, as only two chapters remain. The main story is about to be concluded, so here I will provide you with walkthroughs of Chapters 11 and 12, Crisis and The End of Ambition in Yakuza Kiwami 3.
Disclaimer
Yakuza games consist of many lengthy cutscenes, and you may feel that they are longer than the actual gameplay. However, the cutscenes are extremely engaging and are essential to the story. Yakuza games are not just about the gameplay. The plot is on another level, and to truly experience it, you should not skip any of the cutscenes.

Crisis Walkthrough – Head To The Monorail Station
As Chapter 11, Crisis, in Yakuza Kiwami 3 starts, you see Morning Glory being raided by Mine and Tamashiro. Kiryu receives this news, and when the cutscene ends, you are tasked with heading to the Monorail Station. Then a cutscene will be triggered featuring the destroyed Morning Glory.
Head To The Bullring
After the cutscene ends, your objective will be to head to the bullring. Go to the marked taxi and choose the bullring from the menu. After that, a cutscene will be triggered featuring Tamashiro and Kiryu. Then, once the cutscene is over, you will have to defeat the Tamashiro family.
Defeat The Tamashiro Family
For now, you just have to fight the small enemies, and the battle will be pretty simple. Defeat them, and a cutscene will commence. Once that cutscene is over, you will have to face Tetsuo Tamashiro in battle.
Defeat Tamashiro Family Patriarch, Tetsuo Tamashiro
Tetsuo is going to be a little different from the other bosses, at least for now. You can attack him without worrying too much, but he can shoot you at any time. So whenever you see the red mark on your head, stop attacking and quickstep at the right time to dodge the bullet.
For this fight, I recommend using the Dragon of Dojima battle style. After you have taken out around 50 percent of his first health bar, some other members of the family will join the fight. Take care of them, but note that Tetsuo will keep shooting at you, so you still have to dodge the bullets.
When you have taken care of the others, use a heat action on Tetsuo. If you cannot stagger him in the Dragon of Dojima style, switch to Ryukyu. Press circle and then instantly press triangle. This will hit him with a pretty cool heat action. Then use Dragon Boost in any of the battle styles you want and start attacking him.
Defeat More Goons And The Finish The Boss Fight
Then, after you have taken out one of his health bars, more goons will appear, so you will have to fight them. However, if your Dragon Boost is still activated, I recommend using it on Tetsuo along with the finisher. Then finish off the goons and focus on Tetsuo again.
More of his men will join the fight, so simply use them to charge your Heat Action and use it on Tetsuo. Finish the fight, and a cutscene will commence. With that, Chapter 10, Crisis, will be over in Yakuza Kiwami 3.
The End Of Ambition Walkthrough
After the cutscene ends, you will be in Kamurocho and talking to Joji on the phone. After the call, the game will tell you that after this point, you will not be able to roam freely in the world. So, if you want to do anything first, this is your time to do so. You can also simply create a save file and load it back later.
Then, head back inside, Serena, and talk to Mama. Once the conversation is over, talk to Date-san and select “Go to the Hospital.” If you have something to do first, such as side activities, I recommend completing them before selecting this option because you will not be able to roam freely once you are inside the hospital.
Head To The Hospital
Once you are done with the side activities, talk to Date-san and go to the hospital. A cutscene will start, and you will find yourself inside the hospital surrounded by many of Mine’s men. You need to defeat all of them and then head to Daigo’s room.
Since there are a lot of enemies, fighting them one by one is going to be a pain. So, I recommend using the Shurujin attack in the Ryukyu style to take care of several of them at once. Do note that the ones with bigger health bars will not be staggered by this attack, and they can cancel it.
So, either take care of those stronger enemies first or use the attack while staying away from them. Even if you do not catch many of them in the swing, you will still hit most of the enemies around you because the last hit is what really matters. The last hit has a large radius, so you will be able to take out a lot of enemies in a single attack.
Head To Daigo’s Room While Defeating More Enemies
Attack the objects on the stairs to open the path and then go upstairs. Follow the marker, and you will face more enemies. Defeat them, move ahead, and you will encounter Hakucho Clan Captain, Fujisawa. He will be using a katana, but this mini-boss is not that hard to defeat.
Simply use your heat action and a couple more combos to finish the fight. After you have defeated him, he will give you the location of where Daigo is, along with Mine. Now you have to head to the 25th floor. Enter through the door ahead of you, and there will be more enemies waiting.
Defeat them, move forward, fight more enemies, open the path, and a cutscene will be triggered. The cutscene will show a couple of enemies with a Uzi. Since this gun is automatic, you need to quickstep whenever there is a red mark on top of your head. Defeat them, then go ahead to find the elevator. On the way, more enemies will enter, so defeat them and continue to the 25th floor.
Defeat The CIA Agent
Once you reach the 25th floor, move forward, and a cutscene will begin. It seems that you just missed Daigo, so before you can find him, you will have to defeat the CIA Agent. He can dodge many of your attacks and has two health bars. However, his overall health pool is not that large, meaning he is not very tanky.
Start the fight with a heat action, but do not use Dragon Boost. Attack him with your combos, and when he dodges or parries your attacks, be ready to quickstep. Once you have defeated him, it is time to head to the roof.
Head To The Roof
After defeating the CIA Agent, move forward, and some more enemies will appear. Defeat them, and the CIA Agent will return. This time, he will be carrying two pistols, and he seems more tanky than before. Now that he is using pistols, fighting him becomes a little easier because you know exactly when to dodge.
Defeat The CIA Agent Again
Switch to Dragon of Dojima style to gain access to quicksteps and start attacking him. I recommend starting the fight with a heat action and then instantly using Dragon Boost. The CIA Agent can still attack you with his legs, which will stun you and allow him to shoot his gun.
After you take out his first health bar, a scripted event will happen. Press the correct buttons to avoid taking any damage. He has a pretty nasty combo, so when you see a bright red light on him, get ready to quickstep. If your Dragon Boost runs out, use your heat action, preferably in the Ryukyu style, as it is much easier to land.
Then defeat him and head to the elevator. Along the way, defeat more enemies, and when you see a large group, Shurujin is the key. Once you have defeated everyone, interact with the door, and a cutscene will begin. When the cutscene ends, you will be facing the chairman of the Hakuho Clan, Yoshitaka Mine.
Defeat Yoshitaka Mine
Mine hits hard and has some long attack strings. However, the damage he deals is nothing compared to what Majima deals, so you are going to be fine in this fight. Start the battle with a heat action. If by now you have two heat actions available, use both of them, but in between, I recommend using a combo to deal some extra damage.
Once you have used your heat action or actions, it is time to use Dragon Boost. You may not need to use the finisher to deplete his first health bar, but if there is still a chunk left, use the finisher, and his first health bar will be gone. With how aggressive you have been, his aura should be depleted by now, so even without Dragon Boost, you can continue going on full offense.
Phase Two
After you have depleted around 30 percent of his second health bar, a scripted event will happen, and phase two will begin. Mine will become much more aggressive in this phase, and dodging his combos will be more challenging. So it is better not to charge in blindly.
Using heat actions is better here, and avoid using full combos. Defeat him, and a cutscene will begin. With that, The End of Ambition in Yakuza Kiwami 3 will be over, along with the base game.
