Infilitrating a samurai police organisation like the Shinsengumi in order to find your father’s killer is tough going, so you’re going to need all the allies and help you can get in order to succeed in your quest. Fortunately, Like A Dragon: Ishin has a number of allies you can befriend who’ll make your journey somewhat easier, including a Shinto Priest who’ll give you access to a secret shop that has plenty of game-changing goodies.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to unlock the Shinto Priest’s secret shop in Like A Dragon: Ishin.
Who Is The Shinto Priest?
Players will meet the Shinto Priest early on in Chapter 2 of Like A Dragon: Ishin, as he’s the character that gives players the rundown on Virtue, an earnable currency in the game that players can use to purchase upgrades. You can use Virtue at temples to upgrade various abilities, including your inventory space and how long you can sprint.
How To Unlock The Shinto Priest’s Secret Shop
In Chapter 3, when you unlock more of the Kyo map, you’ll encounter the Shinto Priest once again, as he’ll tell you that he’s moving from his original location in Fushimi to the massive temple in the northern section of Rakunai, next to the Ginryu Dojo. While we’re not entirely sure when the option becomes available (we found it in Chapter 4, after you’ve unlocked the Another Life farming mode), you can purchase the ability to access Shinto Priest’s Shop from the regular Virtue Exchange.
The Shinto Priest’s shop allows you to spend Virtue on actual in-game items, including Plates, which can be sold at Pawn Shops for a large amount of money, along with healing items and EXP boosters. The Temple Virtue Exchange will also offer the ability to upgrade the Priest’s wares up to a maximum of five levels. If you’ve got Virtue to spare, especially towards the later stages of the game, spending some Virtue at the Priest’s shop can be a great idea.
Like A Dragon: Ishin is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X & S.
