Hint:
Free rent: When staying at the "Come Over Guest House", the rent
is $38 per night. To avoid paying, do not pay it in the morning then stay
out until 11 o'clock.
A very simple way to avoid
paying at the Come Over Guest House is to walk all the way to the side of
the stairs. Walk as far away from the clerk as possible to go to your room,
or going outside.
Hint:
Easy money: Use the following trick on the first two discs for easy money. Go
the worker's pier and move crates. When you shift is done, leave then go
back in. You can do this three to four times in one day.
Go behind warehouse #8 on
Fortunes' Pier (the one with the red doors). There is a set of Lucky Hit
tables there. Choose the second table from the left. The board features a
tiger with wings, and the bet is $20 to win $60. You should drop the marble
fairly close to the left side of the table and win about 60% of the time.
You can easily make $1,000 in a day.
Go to warehouse #8 after work.
Win until you have $50, then go to warehouse #13 and win until you have $100
or more. Go to warehouse #10. When you are asked to place a bid, choose the
one with 4 times (the bottom one), but do not press A yet. There is a
turning triangle in the bottom right. Wait until it turns to a straight
line, then press A. You will win most of the time. It is possible to
win over $13,000 after one hour of playing.
To safely make a lot of money,
save before you gamble. If you lose, use the in game reset then reload your
game and try again. The best places to use this tactic are Wan Chai: Roll it
on top, Lucky Charm Quarter near Three Blades street; Kowloon: Big or Small,
Old Government Building, Dim Sum Quarter (go through the underground
walkway).
To save money on Disc 1,
because you will be robbed go to a peddler on the street and spend all of
your money on Zippo lighters. When you get robbed, you will only lose 16
yen. Later, after getting your room at the Come Over Guest House and your
first day of work, go to the Pawn Shop. Pawn off your entire collection of
characters, toys, and lighters (except for one). You will make 295 yen back,
and thus 40% of your money (losing only 205 yen). This will help you survive
the cost of boarding until you get past Disc 1. Note: You need to keep at
least one Zippo lighter for an event in Disc 2 when you and Shenhua are in
the cave, in order to see.
To make money in Kowloon, just
go to the acrobat style fighter. Run at him and when "B" appears
at the bottom of the screen, press B to throw him. He will
automatically lose all his health and you will have won the fight. You win
more money every time.
If you are able to exit and
enter the Beverly Hills Warf part, there is a challenge there where you will
receive money if you knock a "wild man" out, who will not fight
back at all. You get five tries and three minutes of time. The best move to
use on him repeatedly would be the Brawling Uppercut, which you get from
Delin at the docks, if you work there moving the crates enough times. The
first time you knock him out, you will get $10. It increases by $10 each
time and stops at $50. His level of toughness starts at 1 and each time you
knock him out it increases by 1. Using the Brawling Uppercut, you may be
able to go beyond level 10.
Go to a place where you can
gamble. Save your game, then play the gambling game. If you lose, reset the
game then load the same game file. If you win, save the game. Repeat this to
get as much money as needed. Note: In some gambling places you can double
your bet each time you play. This is a good way to make a lot of quick
money.
Go to the Lucky Charm Quarter
and look around for a old man sitting behind a table with a big bowl in
front of him. There are usually two to three men at the table, not including
the old man behind the table. Save the game when you get to the table. When
there is a spinning upside down triangle on the X button icon, press X.
The minimum amount of money you can bet is $5 and the maximum is $100. Keep
betting $100 and save every time you win.
Hint:
Get most from money: When you first start the game, spend all the money you have
before getting your bag stolen by Wong.
Hint:
Defeating the big fat man: When you are fighting on the 40th floor of the Big Ox building,
you will meet with a big fat man. To defeat him, use the basic kick and
punches (mostly punches). Powerful moves take too long to complete, leaving
it easier for him to make his moves. Grabs will not work against him because
he is too big. Continue landing punches and kicks on him as much as
possible, and listen to Wong and Joy when they let you know when to watch
out for his grabs. At this point, press Y to duck and get away from
his powerful throws.
Hint:
Defeating the Kowloon man that always blocks and dodges: First, make sure you have different guards. For example, if your
high hand is the left then make sure his high hand is the right. Press Kick
and if he blocks, wait about four seconds then press Guard and
quickly do the Iron Palm move. This works most, but not all of the time.
To defeat the blocking man in
Kowloon, wait until you hear him grunt, then immediately press X, Punch.
Hint:
Defeating the man in the Phoenix building: There are two good ways to defeat the man in the Phoenix
building. Keep repeating Hind Blow and most of the time press Guard.
The second way is to try to go to his back and press Punch three or
four times. Keep repeating this to win.
Hint:
Defeating Yan Ren: After you learn Brawling Uppercut, go to the battle against Yan
Ren (the wild man in Kowloon). Position yourself between him and the edge of
the ring with enough room to be able to use Brawling Uppercut. Keep
repeating this to defeat him.
Hint:
Defeating the acrobat fighter: When you fight the acrobat fighter in Kowloon, you must time
correctly to catch him. Press B immediately after he lands from one
of his flips.
Hint:
Winning at arm wrestling: When you arm wrestle anyone, press X, Y, X, Y
very fast just before it starts to automatically win.
Hint:
Related family Gui Zhang and Joy: When you have to listen to the last tape to find clues, fast
forward to the very last part to hear a conversation between Gui Zhang and
Joy. They will talk about Ryo.
Hint:
Fortune teller in love with Ryo: When you get off the boat, donate money. Get the winning can and
blue and red forklifts from the free stay lodge. Then, go and talk to the
fortune teller. Talk to her once more and she will say some things about you
chasing a black dragon. She then says that she is in love with you.
Hint:
Hidden word: Turn around the picture of Ryo's father Iweo with the other
person who might be Lan Di's father when you are looking at it. You can see
the word "Bali" on the back.
Hint:
Comics: The comics show part of the plot. In the Xiyuing and Ziming
comic, it shows characters from Shenmue 3. In Ryo and Chai, it shows what
takes place just prior to arriving in Hong Kong. In Guizhang and Joy, it
shows the phone call as can be heard on the tape recorder and how Joy and
Guizhang met. In Wong and Ren, it shows a random day in Wong and Ren's life.
Hint:
Tiger Swallow technique: Master Baihu has the Tiger Swallow technique. which is the same
technique that Lan Di uses. Baihu is easy to defeat.
Hint:
Wan Chai: Secret Toy Capsule locations: When you first start the game, go into the Freestay Lodge. Go
into the left corner of the room and find a blue forklift on the bed. There
is a winning can beside the bed on a shelf. Inside it is a ferry. On the
right of the shelf is a desk with a flier (which you can take). Under the
flier is a drawer with a red forklift in it.
In Latest Electronics Emporium
(Electronics Street) which can be found in Lucky Charm Quarter is an AM2
Machine and Virtual On Machine.
Hint:
Kowloon: Secret Toy Capsule locations: In the God Of Wealth Building (go through Ghost Hall Building) on
the tenth floor, there is an AM2 Machine.
In the Thousand White Building
there are three Dural Rooms (Gold, Silver and Bronze; Gotcha Stands). For
the Dural Bronze Room, go to the sixth floor. Many items can be found here.
For the Dural Silver Room, go to the eighth floor. Dural Silver can be found
here. For the Dural Gold Room, go to the tenth floor. Dural Gold can be
found here.
Hint:
Kowloon: Powerful fighting scroll: After you get all your money from fighting the three fighters, go
to the Thousand White building. You will see the knife shop, and directly
across from it is a weapons shop. Go there. When you arrive, there is a
shelf by the old man with the scrolls on it. Buy the the fanciest and most
costly one there to get the Tiger Swallow technique.
Hint:
Yu Sazuki's signature: Remain idle at the "Press Start" screen until an FMV
sequence begins. It will tell you about Ryu's destiny. When it finishes, a
screenshot of Yu Sazuki signature will appear.
Hint: Afterburner:
100 missiles: Play Afterburner in an arcade and get to level 3. Press Left
+ X to get 100 missiles.
Hint: Shenmue
reference: When battling Master Baihu, the music in the background is from
the original Shenmue. It is the sounds you hear whenever Chai is
around.
Glitch:
Speaking: Pause game play when people are talking. They will continue to
speak. Resume the game and they will still move their mouth.
