PS3
Do not concentrate every activity in the first run. Dead Souls must start from New Game, whereas Extra Hard can use progress from a cleared file. Once the difficulty trophies are settled, use Premium Adventure to track the four protagonists and Amon’s requirements at your own pace.
Guide for Yakuza: Dead Souls on PS3, the Kamurocho spin-off. Story, minigame and challenge trophies are offline.
- List: 49 PS3 trophies
- Difficulty: Separate Extra Hard and Dead Souls clears
- Amon: 60 substories and underground missions
Open the difficulties with a first story clear
Clear the story on Normal and use this run to learn weak points, shooting range and reload management. Do not stall the route by chasing every minigame immediately. Unlocking the difficulties lets you plan later attempts. At the ending, keep your clear data and a separate file before restarting.
- Check that Extra Hard and Dead Souls are available in the menu.
Start Dead Souls on a fresh file
For Savior of Kamurocho, select Dead Souls from New Game rather than Premium New Game. Prepare ammunition and healing before long fights, and do not enter crowds without a way to retreat. If a section blocks you, use what you learned about boss attacks instead of relying on an upgrade you do not have in the fresh file.
- Keep the Dead Souls and Premium New Game files separate.
Use Extra Hard for progress you can carry forward
Restart on Extra Hard from clear data through Premium New Game. Retain levels and tools you already earned to make longer encounters easier. After the ending, use the most advanced file for level 99. Avoid reaching the last level using food experience; players have reported the trophy failing to unlock that way.
- Keep a save before moving from level 98 to 99.
Unlock Amon’s challenge with all four characters
In Premium Adventure, finish all sixty substories and the underground missions for the individual protagonists. The trophy for forty stories is not the end of that chain. Switch to Kiryu for Kamiyama’s message and follow Amon’s invitation. Upgrade your rifle and armour before entering the tunnels.
- Do not confuse character missions with the fifty floors of the Endless challenge.
Finish activities using separate counters
Check the minigame categories, Hasegawa’s directives and the required upgrades for Kamiyama’s truck. For Pachinko Wizard, go to Volcano and exchange 3,000 pachinko balls or 1,500 slot tokens for the trophy prize. A jackpot alone is not enough if you do not claim the correct prize.
- Save after the exchange and check which activity categories are still open.

Frequently asked questions
Do Extra Hard and Dead Souls stack?
No. The list has two separate clears. Use New Game for Dead Souls and keep clear data for the Extra Hard restart.
Are forty substories enough for Amon?
No. Continue until all sixty are complete and finish the characters’ underground missions. Then check messages while playing as Kiryu.
Do I have to play pachinko online?
No. It is a local minigame at Volcano. Reach the required amount and claim the prize at the counter instead of stopping after a win.
