Leveling up bond relationships with party members in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth can be a gratifying experience, unveiling captivating backstory lore and unlocking potent tag team skills. However, the progression to elevate bond levels can be time-consuming, particularly without the strategic use of gifts.
While some gifts may require an investment, they stand as one of the fastest methods to significantly raise bond levels. Presenting gifts tailored to the individual interests of party members yields the highest bond level gains, making knowledge of the locations of these unique gift items invaluable.
Understanding Gift Mechanics
Players can enhance bond levels with party members through various means. Engaging in mini-games such as karaoke, darts, and cabaret clubs, as well as initiating special meal conversations known as Table Talk, are just a few avenues. Additionally, the introduction of Bond Bingo enables Ichiban to swiftly accumulate points towards bond levels by interacting with Walk and Talk speech bubbles across the map to complete a bingo for new party members.
One of the most reliable approaches to cultivate party members’ loyalty and trust involves gifting them special items aligned with their interests and hobbies. Gifts can be presented in two ways: through Gift-Giving opportunities, where a prompt appears while browsing certain stores, or by offering custom gifts to party members during visits to the Survive or Revolve bars.
In both scenarios, the bond level meter sees the most significant increase when catering to the party members’ personalities and presenting fitting gifts. While some party members’ personalities are easily discernible, others may not readily reveal their interests. It is also worth noting that some of these special gifts may be requested by non-party NPCs, underscoring the importance of knowing the locations where these items can be procured.
Locating the Finest Gifts
An effective method for discovering where Ichiban can obtain specific gifts is by accessing the map and selecting the Details button over the store icons. This action reveals a window displaying several items under the Recommended category, which may serve as potential gifts for party members. Items like Assorted Cigarettes are sought after by Elizabeth and Machiko, thus acquiring them early on can aid Ichiban in fostering friendship with them. Additionally, the table below provides a comprehensive overview of purchasing gifts tailored to specific party members.
These are the distinct gifts that yield substantial advancements in the bond levels of party members.
