Another Life Guide for Like A Dragon: Ishin
What is Another Life?
Another Life is a minor story section in Like A Dragon: Ishin! (LAD Ishin/Yakuza: Ishin) that requires you to pay off Haruka’s debt by peddling various items requested from orders. The type and number of items you need to prepare greatly varies so you will need to spend time on various mini game such as farming, fishing, and cooking.
How to Unlock Another Life
The Another Life story section and associated Peddling mini game become available during Chapter 4 of the main story. While not necessary, it is recommended to have purchased a few of the skill upgrades for farming and cooking from the Virtue Exchange before beginning Another Life.
