Understanding Heat Generation

In Like a Dragon: Ishin!, Saito Hajime, also known as Ryoma Sakamoto, masters four combat styles, utilizing swords, guns, and hand-to-hand fighting. These dynamic attacks accumulate Heat, visible within a blue circle on the left side of Saito's health bar. However, players may encounter a static Heat bar, indicating a lack of Heat generation.

This issue arises from the Tranquil Towel, a headband obtained early in the game. Equipping this item prevents Saito from generating Heat, resulting in the static Heat bar. The item's description subtly hints at this effect, but players must review the extended item details to fully comprehend its impact.

Resolving the Heat Charging Issue

To resolve the Heat charging issue, players simply need to unequip the Tranquil Towel. Once removed, Saito's Heat will start charging normally again, allowing players to unleash potent attacks effectively. It's important to note that the Tranquil Towel is the only item in Like a Dragon: Ishin! that affects Heat generation in this manner, providing reassurance to players once the item is unequipped.
