You are playing as Kiryu Kazuma in Yakuza 0 for PlayStation 4 (PS4). At one point, you’ll be introduced to Miss Tatsu in Chapter 2: The Shadow Realtor, another friend of Bacchus’s that she met in Theater Alley. She is the master of Beast Style, where you will unleash a yellowish aura in a fierce manner, like a beast as they say.
What is the Beast style?
The “Powerful” fighting style that focuses on dealing heavy damage to your enemy. Your movements and attacks are slower than the Brawler and Rush styles. You are the master of using weapons though, pressing square on nearby weapons instinctively swings the weapon towards enemies around you.
Personally, for Beast Style, you can swing a close object against a large number of enemies. In one-on-one battles, such as boss fights, you can get close to the enemy at grappling distance (by pressing Circle) to perform Heat and Powerslam moves.
Unfortunately, you have disadvantages in speed. Slower quick steps, pressing X can be laborious when dodging enemy quick attacks, especially those with weapons. The evasive roll is the best you can maneuver with bullets, punches and weapons.
How to perfect the style of the beast?
Upgrade your skills to deal more damage to enemies and boss battles. You will learn more from Miss Tatsu about the Beast Style moves at the Tokyo Pier. You will need to pay for her session, which consists of Training and Jobs.
The training contains “obstacle course” setups on the dock. You have a time limit to crush, by pressing square, all the mannequins that use boxes to achieve the goal. Each box contains a different value of money that you can win. You must pass ten training sessions.
You will then unlock jobs after completing each training session. Your Beast skills are put to the test when you encounter Miss Tatsu’s five tasks.
domoto the fugitive
Your first mission is to eliminate Domoto, a man on the run from debt collectors for 20 years. You will learn the Iron Fortitude skill as a reward.
Gingoro with a frown
The next task is to eliminate Scowling Gingoro. He is the owner of a cosmetics company who fell behind on his payments to the Yakuza. You will learn the Crushing Hammer skill after completing this job.
Kinji the Ancient Yakuza
Then a third complicated task. You will face Kinji, who wields a katana in his hands. After beating Kinji, you will get the Beast Essence: Wall Pin Heat Action.
Hiroya the king of debt
Because your final lesson is to eliminate Hiroya. After defeating Giant Man, you will face Hiroya, the King of Debt, at the Tokyo Pier. Using heat moves on Hiroya at the right time is best, as he is quick to dodge your attacks. After beating Hiroya, you will learn Beast Essence: Heat Invaded Action.
Now that you have acquired all the moves in Beast Style. Let’s put those skills on the streets of Kamurocho in the Yakuza 0 tutorial. Have a nice day!
