Seven star weapons are the best weapons in the game, and are obtained exclusively via crafting.

Ultimate Weapon Crafting in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth¶

Crafting seven star weapons requires various components:

• A base weapon
• 15x Crystals (either electric, ice, lava or rainbow)
• 1x Empty Cough Drop Tin
• 1x Shark Fin or Squid Tentacles

Of these, the base weapon will generally be the most difficult to find, as there’s no one catch-all location where they can be farmed. Instead, they’re often dropped by special enemies populating Honolulu, Yokohama or Kamurocho, or they’re found in golden safes in the same areas. In addition, Julie’s Gearworks must be at Lv4, which you can achieve by crafting weapons or by investing money into the business. Simply climbing the weapon ladder for each character should be sufficient to achieve this.

(1 of 3) Fragments, Geodes and Crystals will regularly drop from enemies - the higher the level of the enemy, the rarer the materials.

How to Farm Crystals in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth¶

There are three types of core crafting materials which are used to craft progressively more powerful weapons. Fragments are the lowest tier crafting material, and are used to create one to three star weapons. Geodes are intermediate tier crafting materials, used for four and five star weapons, and Crystals are the high tier materials that are required for six and seven star weapons. Their locations are as follows:

Material	Location
Fragments	Dropped by low level enemies, you’ll find them by the boatload during Chapters 3-7. Can also be found in Sector 1 of the Hawaiian Haunt.
Geodes	Dropped by mid-level enemies, like the ones that start to spawn in Chapter 8 and on. Additionally they can be found in Sector 2 of the Hawaiian Haunt.
Crystals	Commonly forfeited by the strongest enemies in the game, which for the purposes of these materials means anything approaching Lv40. These foes will also start to spawn in Chapter 8 and on alongside their Geode-dropping inferiors. They can also be found in Sector 3 and Sector 4 of the Hawaiian Haunt.

In addition to the locations above, you can get Fragments, Geodes and Crystals from Robo Michio outside the Hawaiian Haunt or from Utamaru near the entrance to Yokohama Underground. The former requires you to exchange Robo Disks while the latter will only accept Geomijul’s Survey Data, both of which are a form of “currency” that can only be obtained in their respective dungeons.

Finally, you can outright buy Fragments from the General Goods Cart in Hamakita Park, Yokohama, for 8,000 yen ($80) per Fragment. This is a terrible price, but if you’ve got more money than time, it’s an option. You can also upgrade 10x Fragments into 1x Geode, and 10x Geodes into 1x Crystal here. All in all, these are bad options if you absolutely need to polish off a few specific materials and cannot be bothered to spend any time or effort leaving it up to RNG.

Empty Cough Drop Tins can be purchased via the Yokohama Underground exchange or from The Recycling Center.

Where to Find Empty Cough Drop Tins in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth¶

Empty Cough Drop Tins are a bit of an odd material. You only need them for six and seven star weapons, and they don’t appear in many shops or as rewards for minigames. The first place you’ll be able to get them is via the Yokohama Underground, where Utamaru will exchange 1x Empty Cough Drop Tin for 2,000 Geomijul’s Survey Data. Geomijul’s Survey Data is the currency you’ll pick up in the Yokohama Underground - the deeper you go, the more you’ll get. By the time you reach Sector 4 you’ll be getting 600+ every time you descend a level, plus around 300~ if you find them as drops, not to mention the paltry sum you’ll get for defeating enemies (although even this adds up). 2,000 Geomijul’s Survey Data isn’t a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, a few minutes of running through the deeper reaches of the Yokohama Underground should get you enough.

(1 of 3) Shark Fins and Squid Tentacles can be obtained by exchanging points at The Recycling Center.

Where to Find Shark Fins and Squid Tentacles in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth¶

In addition to Empty Cough Drop Tins, all seven star weapons also require a second rare material - either a Shark Fin or some Squid Tentacles. Of the twenty four different weapon types, fourteen require Shark Fins and ten require Squid Tentacles, and these are important enough that they have their own pages detailing where you can find them (check out the provided links). For a short answer, however, you can get both for 2,000 points via The Recycling Center minigame. Shark Fins can be found in and traded for by exploring the Hawaiian Haunt, while Squid Tentacles require you to explore the [Yokohama Underground]. These are not finite resources, but unless you want to spend a bit of time grinding these aforementioned optional dungeons (or running around collecting trash on or near Aloha Beach) you may want to be careful about expending them frivolously.

To boil it all down, clearing the Hawaiian Haunt and the Yokohama Underground will earn you just about everything you need to craft ultimate weapons - money, materials, all of it. The one thing you can’t (usually) get from these optional dungeons are the base weapons you’ll need, and these are a little trickier.

All Ultimate Weapon Locations in Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth¶

As mentioned above, you’ll need to provide a base weapon in order to craft a seven star weapon. The base weapon required isn’t all that special in and of itself, typically being a generic five star weapon named after the job that wields it (Desperado’s Revolver, Samurai’s Katana, Night Queen’s Whip, etc.). In fact, you may not even realize what you’ve found if you’re not paying attention! There are generally three sources for these base weapons that you’ll need to craft seven star/ultimate weapons:

• Complete a companion’s fifth Drink Link. That companion’s exclusive job weapon will be dropped during the obligatory battle during this Drink Link.

• Defeat special enemies in Yokohama (Chapter 8 or later) or Honolulu (Chapter 9 or later).

• Purchased as a reward for some minigame or another.

Ichiban, being the protagonist, is a bit of special bird, as he not only has two seven star weapons, he also has two base weapons for these ultimate weapons. The first is the humble Hero’s Bat (a one star weapon which you’re forced to craft in Chapter 4 during Substory 20 - A Better Bat) and the second is a Metal Bat (a three star weapon you can buy in Honolulu). In any event, below you’ll find a list of all the base weapons you’ll need in order to craft ultimate weapons and where to find them:
