The Castle contains plenty of distractions and side-stories to lose yourself in. And one of those is the Cabaret Club minigame inLike a Dragon Gaidenwith its many hostesses, like Kokoro.
The middle option of The Castle’s cabaret lineup, Kokoro is an aspiring actress with quite the penchant for mahjong and beefy dudes. That seems right up Kazuma Kiryu’s alley. But appearances alone aren’t enough; you’ll need to build up the Affection meter and three hearts’ worth of good answers before you’re able to see the end of the Kokoro Cabaret Club romance line inLike a Dragon Gaiden.
How to up your Affection with Kokoro
Affection is accrued and banked in the love meter at the top-left of your screen. Once you’re in a Cabaret Club hangout with Kokoro, you’ll be able to order drinks, give gifts, and answer questions to win her over to Team Joryu.
In my experience, gifts are plentiful by the endgame, which you’re probably near if you’re grinding out Cabaret Club sessions. Feel free to hand those out, especially the nicer ones, as they can add a little boost of Affection. Drinks are useful too, but often pricy; I don’t really recommend using expensive stuff unless you have more cash than you need.
The best way to raise Affection is, of course, saying all the right things. And so we’ve gathered together a handy table of the best answers for every topic in the Cabaret Club session with Kokoro inLike a Dragon Gaiden, each one getting you one step closer to a home-cooked meal with Kokoro.
Special
Completing Kokoro’s Cabaret Club romance
After hitting three hearts and answering questions just right, Kokoro will invite Joryu out for a night in. Specifically, she’ll take him back to her place and cook up some omurice, feeding it to the camera. It’s sweet, if not a little strange; though definitely not the weirdest of the bunch.
Anyways, she’ll invite Joryu to stay the night—where the two will peaceably sleep andthat’s it—and you’ll get your clear. For clearing the Cabaret Club romance for Kokoro inLike a Dragon Gaiden, you’ll get theKokoro’s Companionachievement on the Akame Network and a solid stash of points to spend. You know, I’m now four guides deep on this minigame, and it’s just now clicking with me that Akame is getting a notification every time Kiryu wins the heart of these FMV actresses. Apps these days, am I right?
