Bottom line, this is as simple an approach for a Shenmue guide as you can get. You should continue to complete side quests and just enjoy the scenery - it's what Shenmue is all about. We're just going to tell you where you need to go and who you need to speak with to continue progressing the main story of Shenmue.

That means we're not going to give you advice on combat or QTEs, or even warn you when they're coming.

In this Shenmue walkthrough and guide, we're going to keep it simple: we will only provide a step-by-step path through the game's story. There's a bit of brawling and procrastinating mixed in, but completing Shenmue's main quest is all about following a trail of witnesses and evidence in your pursuit of the man known as Lan Di. Ryo is now on a quest for revenge - but there's more at stake than he realizes.Īt its heart, Shenmue is an adventure game where you play detective. A mysterious figure wearing a green ceremonial robe appears at Ryo Hazuki's home and proceeds to kill his father in a brutal martial arts showdown before stealing a precious mirror. In the year 1986 in Yokosuka, Japan, one young man's life is about to be changed forever.
