Jack the Collector is the very first major hurdle you will face during Chapter 1 of the game. He uses his pistols to stay away from you for the majority of the battle, but will start getting his hands dirty with a cutlass once you deal enough damage against him.

Let's take a look at a few key strategies that you need to know to defeat the pirate Jack the Collector.

Phase 1

Phase 1 of the boss fight against Jack the Collector in Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is very easy. The pirate will mostly use his pistols to attack you and then move away from you as you get close to him. You should focus on dodging his attacks by jumping and then moving close to him to score a melee attack or two. Look for the red indicator appearing on top of Jack's head to know when he will attack.

Jack will also use his pistols to melee you if you get too close to him, so be wary of that. Besides the red indicator, a small sound cue will alert you when Jack is ready to fire his pistols.

Phase 2

During this stage of the fight, Jack will have his aura up. You can deal a devastating attack on him if you have your Heat meter full. Consume items like Staminan to get Heat. If you are able to successfully trigger this QTE attack, Jack will take heavy damage.

It is also ideal for you to save your Mad Dog style and use it during this stage of the fight. The doppelgangers you summon will keep on stunning and interrupting Jack's attacks, making it easier for you to defeat him.
