Learn how to start and complete Substory 34, 'The Servile Beggar,' in Like a Dragon: Ishin! Find the beggar and discover the best way to get him the food he needs.
Alright, let's tackle Substory 34, titled "The Servile Beggar." It's a pretty straightforward one, so don't sweat it. You'll find the starting point in Mukurogai. Head to the First Floor and make your way to the north-central area. Look for a bridge connecting to Rakugai – the beggar is just east of that bridge, and also northeast of the Mukurogai Arms Dealer. You'll spot him sitting in a corner, looking pretty down on his luck.
When you talk to him, he'll start begging for food. Initially, Ryoma might be hesitant, thinking it'll just be a never-ending cycle of handouts. But his second, more desperate plea will get to Ryoma, and that's how you kick off Substory 34.
- 1Head to Mukurogai First Floor, north-central area, east of the Rakugai bridge.
- 2Talk to the beggar.
- 3When prompted, select the option "I can part with some food."
- 4You now need to give him food. While you can grow food in Chapter 4, if you're earlier in the game, your best bet is to buy some.
- 5Travel to Fushimi and visit the Greengrocer in Fushimi Ichibangai.
- 6You can buy any food item from him, but to be efficient, grab the cheapest option, which is the Cucumber for 100 Mon.
- 7Return to the beggar in Mukurogai and give him the food.
- The game mentions you can grow food at your house starting in Chapter 4, but buying from the Greengrocer is the quickest way to complete this early on.
- Don't worry about buying expensive produce; the beggar doesn't care. The cheapest item will do just fine.
- Buying from the Greengrocer also helps build your bond with him, as his bond level increases with the number of transactions, not the total spent. So, frequent cheap purchases are good!
- To max out your bond with the Servile Beggar, you'll need to repeatedly feed him. The process involves returning to Fushimi, entering Teradaya (this is important for his dialogue to progress), buying another cucumber from the Greengrocer, and then returning to the beggar. You'll need to do this several times.
- Completing the substory for the first time earns you 225 Virtue.
- You'll also start a bond with the Servile Beggar, which can be increased by feeding him more food.
