Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Yakuza 8)

Death Penalty: What Happens When You Die?

Add to Watchlist

LAD Infinite Wealth - Death Penalty: What Happens When You Die?

Dying in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth results in a penalty where you lose one-fifth of your money. Read on and learn what happens when you die, the measures to avoid it, and the conditions for dying in Infinite Wealth.

What Happens When You Die?

What Happens When You Die?

You'll Lose 1/5 of Your Money

LAD Infinite Wealth - Lost Money

If you are defeated in battle, you'll lose one-fifth or 20% of the money in your possession. If you have $1000, you'll lose $200 when you get a game over.

Pay Money to Try Again

LAD Infinite Wealth - Game Over Screen

If you have been defeated during the story, you have three options—Pay 10% of your current money to Try Again, pay 20% of your current money to Retry battle with full recovery, or Return to the Title Screen.

Defeat During Exploration Only Results in Money Loss

Getting defeated during exploration will only cause you to lose money, and it won't affect the story in any way. Your party will restore their HP and will get revived on the same spot to where you lost.

How to Avoid Dying or Getting KO’d

  1. Manage the Main Character's HP
  2. Beware of Tough Enemies

Manage the Main Character's HP

LAD Infinite Wealth - Restore HP

As long as the main character's HP does not drop to 0, you won't get a game over screen. Use various methods to heal, such as using items, skills, or crazy delivieries.

Beware of Tough Enemies

LAD Infinite Wealth - Special Enemies

Special enemies with a crown mark above their heads can be found in certain areas. These enemies are much more powerful than normal enemies and, once defeated, will yield special items or clear a path to previously blocked areas.

Deposit Money in an ATM

LAD Infinite Wealth - Using an ATM

It is recommended to deposit all of your money on an ATM before fighting bosses and strong enemies. You won't lose what you don't have!

Save Before Attempting To Fight Them

Save your game before attempting to fight these special enemies to avoid losing money if you are defeated, as you can reload your last save state.

Try to Flee If It's Too Difficult

If you feel like you're losing the battle, you can press and hold L1 during command selection to attempt an escape. However, fleeing the battle is not guaranteed to always work, so it's best to keep that in mind.

Conditions for Dying in Infinite Wealth

Main Character's HP Reaches 0

LAD Infinite Wealth - Kasuga Dying

Getting the main character's HP reduced to 0 will cause you to get a game over, even if your other party members are still alive and kicking. Prioritize restoring Kasuga's HP to avoid losing in battle.

Kasuga is the Main Character

LAD Infinite Wealth - Ichiban Kasuga

The main character of Infinite Wealth is Kasuga, which is also at the top place when viewing your team formation.
