The Like A Dragon Gaiden Kei subplot tasks you with getting closer to one of the hostesses at Heaven's Cloud in Sotenbori. That means giving the right answers during each conversation with Kei and understanding what she likes - not an easy thing to do unless you've done it before.

Our Like A Dragon Kei guide goes over all the right answers and explains how to raise your relationship level quickly.

How to romance Kei in Like A Dragon Gaiden

Your relationship with Kei follows similar rules as your relationship with other hostesses. You arrive at the club, pay an entrance fee, and spend some time with the hostess of your choice – Kei, in this case, obviously. You’ll buy drinks, give presents, and have a few conversations, and every interaction either raises or lowers her affection meter, depending on what you do.

While some people suggest Kei and other hostesses have favorite drinks, I haven’t found that to be the case. Like in previous Yakuza games, Kei seems to appreciate you more when you purchase more expensive drinks – which makes sense, considering the goal of a hostess is encouraging patrons to spend money.

Gaiden divides your time with Kei into three ranks – zero, one, and two. You get a different selection of conversation topics to choose from in each rank, and picking the correct response gives you a significant relationship boost. You can pick the topics in any order, though every relationship rank starts and ends with a pre-set question.

Make sure to buy and use the Mini-More Perfume from Ebisu before starting a date, as it gives you a slight affection boost for every action.
