Discover how to get the Inviting Hat in Like a Dragon: Ishin! This guide covers the specific substories you need to complete to unlock this essential item.

Alright, so you're looking for the Inviting Hat in Like a Dragon: Ishin!, huh? It's a pretty neat item that makes finding all those hidden Substories a whole lot easier. The bad news is you can't craft it, so you'll have to wait a bit. The good news? It's tied to a couple of Substories you'll want to do anyway!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When: You'll need to progress through the main story until you reach Chapter 5.
  2. 2
    Where: Head to the Mibu area, which is where the Shinsengumi barracks are located.
  3. 3
    What to do: Follow the southern path west until you reach a gate. This should trigger Substory 60, titled "It's What's on the Inside." It's a pretty straightforward one, so just follow the prompts.
  4. 4
    Next Steps: After finishing Substory 60, it's a good idea to exit and re-enter the Mibu area to make sure everything's loaded correctly. Then, make your way to the shrine found on the western side of the map.
  5. 5
    The Bear Fight: Approaching the shrine will kick off another Substory, "The Boy Who Cried Bear." Be prepared, because this one throws you straight into a fight against a bear! It's a tough one, so make sure you've saved your game beforehand. Take your time, dodge its powerful attacks, land a few hits, and then back off. Don't get too aggressive, or you'll take a lot of damage.

Once you defeat the bear and complete "The Boy Who Cried Bear," you'll finally get your hands on the Inviting Hat! Equip it, and all the Substories you haven't completed yet will pop up on your map with an exclamation mark icon. Keep in mind, this won't show Substories that unlock from other Substories, or ones hidden inside buildings or the upper parts of Mukugorai. Still, it's a huge help for completionists!

Tips
  • The Inviting Hat isn't just for finding Substories; it also offers a decent amount of defense, which is always a plus.
  • Plus, it's got two open slots for Seals, so you can customize it to your liking.
  • Always save before starting a tough Substory, especially one that leads straight into a boss fight like "The Boy Who Cried Bear."
