You’ll meet a number of odd individuals in Like a Dragon Gaiden, including someone who is pretty sure he saw a flashy guy riding on a boat and wants you to find proof it wasn’t all just a hallucination. Here is our guide telling you how to take a picture of the boat guy in Like a Dragon Gaiden.
Like a Dragon Gaiden – how to take a picture of the boat guy
For one mission, your client is a fellow who was watching the Sotenbori River and thought he saw something pretty wild on the boat that travels along it. He presents the Photograph the Boat Guy mission, which asks you to do just what its name says. To take a picture of the boat guy, stand near the river and snap a picture when the boat passes.
The Sotenbori River splits the northern and southern portions of the neighborhood. Two bridges cross it: Bishamon Brridge to the west and Iwao Bridge to the east. Between the bridges, there are footpaths with benches and rails, so pedestrians can get close to the water and admire the view. In this case, the view includes a guy who likes to pose on his boat.

From what I can tell, it doesn’t really matter where you stand along the river. I like to stand along its south side, and that’s where I captured my own photo. Your target rides on the front of his boat, so you should be able to snap a nice photo when his boat comes into view.
When the boat is moving past you, make sure you have your camera pulled up. You can zoom in a bit, but don’t get too close or you might not be able to track the boat’s progress. Aim at the guy on the deck, and wait for a prompt to appear on-screen (see the above screenshot). When it does, snap your picture of the boat guy. If you snap a picture without the prompt, your subject will be out of focus and your picture won’t count.
The boat guy doesn’t seem to be on board every time the boat passes. You may have to wait around for a second or third pass. When he’s showboating, the boat doesn’t move all that quickly. Once you capture an acceptable photo, the game lets you know. Turn the boat guy picture over to the fellow who gave you the mission to receive 35,000 yen and 800 Akame Points.
