In Chapter 3: Foreign Influence Kiryu comes to Onomichi, a tiny town in the Hiroshima prefecture. Because Kiryu is carrying Haruto, there are no fights at first. Similar to Chapter 1, although you could wander a bit, it's best to just advance the story for now so you can get to a point where you can operate normally.

From the start, press the touch pad to open the map. You can see your destination slightly northeast of your starting point, and a small alley behind you will lead you there quicker than going the long way around along the main roads.

At the pink dot, you'll trigger a cutscene as Kiryu settles in. At its conclusion, you'll head outside and fight Nagumo, your tutorial punching bag from the Prologue. He's a bit tougher this time around and certainly more aggressive, but there are plenty of nearby objects to beat him with. As with the fight against Akiyama at the end of Chapter 2, it's best to save your Heat Orbs for Heat actions rather than bothering with Extreme Heat Mode. Nagumo himself never activates his, so it's not worth expending yours.

After defeating him, you'll have another short cutscene. You'll be granted freedom of movement as well, and it's advised to hit up the convenience stores to stock up. Onimichi sells different products than Kamurocho, so you'll be able to even more healing items on you.

Once you return to the bar, you'll trigger several cutscenes as Kiryu shares his story. After that, you'll be escorted outside and are tasked to follow a man to some rundown apartments where Kiryu will be staying. The journey will be peaceful.

After a few more cutscenes, Kiryu decides to buy some milk for Haruto, taking you back out on the town. Five pink dots will appear throughout Onomichi, and you'll need to visit each one.

During this entire sequence, Haruto will get upset and demand your attention every minute or so. You'll have four different actions you can use to get Haruto to calm down, and a limited amount of time to do them in before he gets incredibly upset. If you succeed in calming him down, you'll earn some XP.

There are two ways to tell what Haruto wants. First, Haruto has four specific tells that will indicate what exactly he wants you to do. If you can't figure out his tell and just wait for a few seconds, Kiryu we verbalize what he needs. This is always accurate but takes a bit longer, and if you rely on Kiryu verbalizing the answer you may find yourself out of time. Haruto will randomly choose what he wants, sometimes the same command twice in succession. If you do the wrong move, he'll be unhappy and may change what he wants.

Haruto's tells are as follows. First, he may shake his head left and right. If he does this, he wants to be swung. Do this by physically moving your PlayStation 4 controller laterally.

Second, Haruto will put his hands up in the air with his arms at 90-degree angles relative to his shoulders while nodding his head. This indicates he wanted lifted. Do this by physically moving your PlayStation 4 controller vertically.

Third, Haruto will slight spread his arms and look up. This tell will look very similar to his second tell, but the main difference is that he will generally look up the whole time; the second tell has him nodding. If he simply looks up, he wants an Upsy-Daisy, executed by pressing up both sticks at the same time.

His final tell will be the most difficult to detect. He will keep his arms a bit lower compared to the second and third tells. He'll move his head, but in several directions, not just up and down nor left and right. When he does this, he's indicating he wants his head rubbed. Do this by sliding your thumb along the touch pad several times.

Note that Haruto's disruptions are based on your movement. If you need a break from him, you can simply have Kiryu stand in place and Haruto will remain calm even if you haven't paused the game.

After visiting all the pink dots, another will point you to the pharmacy. This leads to a dead end but you'll get another lead, one pointing you toward Kiyomi's bar. Head back and approach the door to trigger the next cutscene.

Next you'll be sent to a nearby barbershop. Head there and calm Haruto as necessary, then speak to the owner for a cutscene. You'll need to beat up a drunk man in the process, but you won't have any problems with him.

Finally you'll be sent back to the apartments. Enter the door on the ground floor to trigger the next cutscene, which will lead to the morning.

You'll wander the street again as you chase pink dots to gather more information. Haruto remains in your arms, but he won't fuss this time. You'll have a minor fight as you head toward the pink dot, but it won't be anything you can't handle by this point. The next pink dot leads back to Kiyomi's bar, where she'll want you to attend a baseball game as a player.

The pink dot is placed north of the small city across the main road. Head there and the cutscene will trigger automatically, teleporting you to the baseball field. Here you'll have a cutscene, then a mini-boss fight.

After the fight, you'll get another cutscene that gives you a lead on the story. You'll be teleported back to your apartment in the evening, and a pink dot will lead you back to Kiyomi's bar. After a cutscene, you'll automatically engage Nagumo one more time outside the bar. You won't have to actually fight him; for storyline purposes, this was the tutorial battle from the Prologue, so it will resolve itself in a cutscene.

Kiryu will leave the alley in a cutscene and return to the bar. The cutscene continues, and at its conclusion Kiryu will be outside again. Follow the pink dots to hold the trail of Nagumo, and you'll reach the same spot that you had gone to when you were teleported to the baseball field earlier. Continue north up the path, which will terminate at a blue arrow hovering over the cobblestone. (Note that as you approach this area, you'll automatically activate a cutscene that unlocks Troublr missions in the Onomichi area.) Interact with the blue arrow to move up the hill to a new area. There, you'll have another boss fight.

After Masuzoe goes down, you'll have a cutscene with Nagumo and finish the chapter.
