Scarecrow Chateau (Mansion Challenge) Like A Dragon: Ishin

Head to Sannocho over in Rakugai. Just north of Mukurogai. Here we can speak with a man with a rather facinating hair style (Mysterious Professor).

Apparently this ‘Mysterious Professor’ has been seeking a strongman that is able to spar with the karakuri strawmen. He will then welcome us to the karakuri clockwork mansion. It is basically a building full of scarecrow puppets.
Head inside. The professor will now be known as Professor Juubei. He will also give his ‘scarecrow test’ the name of ‘Karakuri Scarecrow Chateau’

He will mention that upon first completion of these tests you will receive a reward. From there and after that you will only be given a Scarecrow Carving. Once you accept the terms we can then begin.

We will then be able to select from various different difficulties including; Basic, Advanced, Hell, and Extreme. Some of these challenges will come with a time limit and lock us behind certain weapons. There will also be a target score that must be met in order to advance on to the next round. Most of these challenges include a total of 10 rooms where we will need to destroy all of the scarecrow puppets. Any method of taking them down applies as long as you are able to destroy them within the specified time limit.

I personally encountered Professor Juubei during chapter 5 – The Iron Code but he is more than likely seen earlier than that.

I also managed to play Like A Dragon: Ishin back with the Japanese version release, when it was more commonly known as Yakuza or Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin. I was planning on doing an English video but I found that to be pointless in the end. The reason being the puzzles are all the same. They can all be understand with my original Japanese video. I have added extra timestamps to the video in order to further help my wonderful audience.
