Prepare For a Duel
Mortimer has three phases of battle, each one different, which tests all the skills you’ve learned so far. First is naval combat. Be sure your ship is ready to take a beating from the barrage Mortimer will throw at it. Once you get past that, you’ll have to contend with battling his men on the deck.
And then we have Mortimer. It starts off as a standard sword duel, but be wary that he can cut you down here if you fail to parry enough of his slashes. When you chip away at his health, he’ll drop down to the deck where you’ll finish the fight, but he’ll have far more health and more attacks up his sleeves.

3Giant Squid
Try Not to Get Eaten

Yakuza games can be as campy as they are thrilling, and the Giant Squid battle is a prime example of that. It lets youdive head-first into the pirate life, and you’re unsure about your navigating skills on the water, you’ll meet a swift end.
Be aware of the tentacles and attack them first. With them gone, the Squid is vulnerable to close-up attacks. Just master drifting, upgrade your ship, and be prepared to reposition, dodge, and fire at the same time. All in a day’s work for a pirate, to be honest.
2Raymond Law
A Wrestler Turned Pirate?
Raymond Law is big and has great reach. As he’s modeled after his English VA, former wrestler Samoa Joe, that comes to no surprise. But he hurts. Badly. It’s no wonder he’s the final boss in the game. No matter what style you use here, be aware of his weapons. He starts things off with his guandao (polearm) that forces you to keep your distance as he lashes out with giant swings.
Everything concludes with his dao sword. Albeit it’s much slower than the polearm, but it hurts a lot more as he builds up charged attacks with it. Stay light on your feet and time your attacks well enough that you can get in and get out before he swings his weapon.
1Taiyo Amon
The Go-To Secret Boss
Taiyo Amon rears his head yet again in Like a Dragon, and in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, you’ll jump through numerous hoops to unlock this secret boss. By the time you complete everything you need to do such as each Madlantis Coliseum challenge, you should be prepped to face him for an uphill battle.
First you’ll take the fight to the seas, which is why, hopefully, by now, everything from your ship and crew to yourself is leveled up as much as possible. Once you battle 50 of Amon’s men, be sure to preserve your consumables. You’ll want to have something left in the bag just in case when you face down Amon. As a tip, using Mad Dog against the mob or saving it for Amon as a last burst will generally aid you in the battle.
