Where To Find All 7 Gold Balls

Gold Ball #1 Location

The first Gold Ball, a tantalizing prize in Like A Dragon Gaiden, is within reach at Akame’s Shop. However, obtaining it comes at a price of 777 Akame Points. If the shop is yet to be unlocked, a preliminary investment of 15,000 is necessary. Subsequent upgrades at ¥80,000 and ¥150,000 unlock the coveted Gold Ball for purchase.

Gold Ball #2 Location

For the second Gold Ball, simplicity reigns supreme. A mere ¥77,777 at the Ebisu Pawn Shop on E. Shofukucho street secures this precious find.

Gold Ball #3 Location

The Shofukucho store sign Gold Ball requires a detour through the “Solve the Mysterious Note” quest, initiated by a young man on the Northside of the Sotenbori Footpath. This quest becomes accessible after completing Chapter 4, and the Gold Ball perches atop a store sign near W Shofukucho Street.

Gold Ball #4 Location

The fourth Gold Ball presents a swift challenge on the W Sotenbori Footpath. A yellow boat on the river carries a man with the Gold Ball in an unconventional location. Utilize the Spider Gadget during daylight to snatch the Gold Ball, but beware—the Speedo Man doesn’t consistently appear on the boat.
