Paradise VR

Much like in the original Judgement, Paradise VR is a fantastic source of money, with the minigame rewarding players with valuable items such as plates, along with cash rewards. The only thing making this more difficult is the necessity of acquiring play passes in order to participate in Paradise VR, but these can be acquired from a number of other minigames.

  • Heaven's Golf: Clear the Bingo Challenge with 8 Bingos for a Play Pass. (Repeatable)
  • Detective Dog: Walking around with the Detective Dog players gain access to in Chapter 4 will sometimes result in them finding a Play Pass.
  • Batting Center: A Play pass can be purchased for 4,000 points at either of the game's Batting Centers.
  • Skateboarding: A Play Pass can be purchased for 18,000 points at the Skateboarding Minigame, which is unlocked through School Stories.

Paradise VR is certainly the most lucrative way of acquiring money in the game.

Enemy Encounters

Particularly tough enemies will sometimes spawn in the game world, indicated by a purple arrow on the map. These guys can be tricky to take down but always drop lots of money and can also drop items like plates which sell for a lot. Saving the game before fighting them might be wise if players intend to take them on.

Enemy encounters, in general, can be very healthy for Yagami's wallet since they regularly drop plates, whose main purpose is being sold for money at pawn shops in Kamurocho and Yokohama, and Yagami is definitely no slouch where fighting is concerned.

Side Cases

It's also worth doing plenty of side cases, as they are often one of the strongest parts of the Yakuza games. They also act as a fantastic source of additional funds once completed, so they definitely shouldn't be ignored if players are looking for extra money.

Lost Judgement is available now for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Amazon Luna.
