Gotta Catch 'em Balls! Is a Request in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name that players can initiate upon reaching Chapter 3. To complete this Request, fans must obtain seven Gold Balls, some of which can be quite tricky to locate. Indeed, players may struggle to find several of the Gold Balls in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and this guide contains details about their precise positions and the rewards associated with collecting them.

To note, one of the Gold Balls does not become available until Chapter 4, and Like a Dragon fans should confirm that they have made sufficient progress before they attempt to address the Gotta Catch em' Balls! Request. It is also worth emphasizing that the fifth Gold Ball detailed below can only be found when it is daytime in Sotenbori, making it inaccessible during certain sections of the game.
