How to Complete the Shipwrecked Shogun Challenge in BitLife
- Be born in the UK.
- Move to Japan.
- Become a general in the Japanese army.
- Own a pirate ship.
- Survive a shipwreck.
OK, let’s get going!
Being born in the UK is easy; just choose London or any other UK city as your starting locale. Just focus on aging up until you reach age 18 and can earn a bit of cash, you’ll need it for later.
Moving to Japan is a bit of an annoying step, as it both requires a bit of cash and approval. Once your character turns 18, go to ‘Activities’ and select Emigrate. After the application is paid and processed, you’re ready to move.
You will want to have a clean criminal record before you apply as well. Once you apply and join up, it’s time to put in A LOT of work. The job to earn the cash to complete the next few steps is pretty important.
How to Become a General in the Japanese Army
After moving to Japan, you’ll need to join up with the armed forces. This involves going into the Occupation tab and then clicking on Military. You can then choose the branch you want to join up to. Now comes the real work. You will need to grind away at this job for a few years to earn the promotions. Also, make sure to keep those Health and Smarts stats maxed out to maximize your chances of a promotion. After a few more years of work, you can get your way to General in the Japanese Army.
How to Own a Pirate Ship in BitLife
Once you’ve made it this far, it’s time to set sail! Players in BitLife will need a fair amount of cash to afford a pirate ship, so make sure to put in plenty of time in at your job.
Go into the Go Shopping tab under Assets and you can find all the options. Pirate ships can be found under the boat sales options. If it’s not there, just age up and check again. Once you have one, this is where RNG can kind of screw you over.
How to Survive a Shipwreck in BitLife
This is the part in the Shipwrecked Shogun Challenge in BitLife where you need both a bunch of money and good RNG.
When you finally have enough cash ground out to get your hands on the boat, it’s time to go shopping. Get at least about $25,000 in the bank and you’re good to go. Once you turn 18 you need to get your boating license. Once that’s done, it’s time to go shopping for a boat. Head to the Shopping section and visit the Speciality Vehicle Dealers. Select a boat dealer and browse their catalog. Once you have found your dream boat or ship, purchase it. From there, it’s time for the RNG to strike like lightning.
The shipwreck itself is a random event. The fastest way to get into a shipwreck after you’ve done everything else is to get on your boat and take it out for a spin. Repeat this until you have an accident. The outcome of this event is dependent on RNG, and yes, you can get unlucky and not survive.If you manage to die, use the paid rewind feature or start over, those are your only choices.
