In Yakuza Kiwami 2, spending quality time with Haruka opens up a special side activity known as Haruka's Requests. Walking around Kamurocho and Sotenbori with her triggers various errands where she asks Kazuma Kiryu for specific items, food, or high scores in minigames. Completing these requests increases her Trust Level, unlocking valuable rewards and rare items along the way.
How Haruka's Trust System Works
Haruka's requests trigger sequentially as you explore the cities while holding her hand. Her trust starts at Rank F and can be raised all the way to Rank EX by satisfying her demands. Each rank contains multiple requests, requiring Kiryu to visit convenience stores, restaurants, and minigame venues.
It is best to attempt these requests during Premium Adventure mode after finishing the main story. This ensures all minigames, locations, and city features are fully unlocked for seamless navigation. Having a large stack of money also helps, as many items and minigame attempts require financial investment.
Handling Food and Item Fetch Quests
A significant portion of Haruka's demands involve purchasing specific food dishes or items across the two districts. She might ask for a particular ramen bowl, a specific bento from Poppo, or a drink from a vending machine. Paying attention to shop inventories in both Kamurocho and Sotenbori makes completing these tasks straightforward.
Sometimes she will request items that require gambling points or prize shop exchanges. Keeping a collection of cheat items found throughout the city can speed up the gambling requirements significantly. Stocking up on rare materials beforehand also prevents unnecessary backtracking when a specific gift is requested.
Mastering Minigames for Haruka
The most challenging aspect of Haruka's requests involves achieving high target scores in various minigames. She will ask Kiryu to perform well in arcade games like Virtua Fighter 2, Karaoke, Darts, Golf, and Batting Cages. Practice and patience are essential, as some of the required thresholds demand near-perfect execution.
For games like Poker, Blackjack, or Oicho-Kabu, using cheat items helps bypass difficulty spikes effortlessly. For skill-based minigames like Golf and Batting, learning the pitch patterns and timing mechanics is key to reaching her target goals. Finishing these tough challenges rewards players with Haruka's highest appreciation tiers.
Rewards for Completing All Requests
Fulfilling all of Haruka's requests rewards players with unique amulets, powerful gear, and rare crafting materials. Reaching the final EX rank grants exclusive items that make Kiryu even more formidable in combat encounters. Beyond the tangible rewards, completing her storyline provides a satisfying side activity for completionists seeking 100% game completion.
