Some weapons demand reverence. Others, a sense of humor. And then there’s the Ultimate Eester Bat, a golden symbol of everything Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth does best—mixing absurdity with genuine power. This bat, made entirely of golden poop, is not only the most ridiculous weapon in the game, it’s also arguably the strongest. With sky-high stats and deadly debuffs, it makes even the toughest endgame fights laughable. But crafting this weapon isn’t easy—it’ll take patience, persistence, and a whole lot of dumpster diving.

Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how to get your hands on the best (and grossest) weapon Ichiban can wield.

What Is Eester? Let’s Talk Poop

To understand the Eester Bat, you need to know what “Eester” is. Put simply, Eester is solid waste, or more bluntly—poop. Ethereal Eester, its rarest variant, is shiny golden poop. And Ichiban can swing a bat made of it like it’s Excalibur.

The Ultimate Eester Bat is a max-level weapon with 196 physical attack, 184 magical attack, and a built-in chance to inflict poison or blindness. Even its special abilities carry these status effects. Blinding enemies makes them practically useless, especially in prolonged boss fights. Pair that with high damage output, and you’ve got a weapon that feels like cheating—especially if you’re not in New Game Plus.

Unlocking the Weapon Shop and Upgrading to Level 4

You can’t craft this golden monstrosity right away. First, you’ll need to progress far enough in the story to unlock the weapon upgrading shop. Once it’s available, you’ll have to donate money to upgrade it to facility level 4, which unlocks the Ultimate Eester Bat blueprint under Ichiban’s weapons tab.

Getting there takes time—and cash. If you’ve finished the game, grinding high-level enemies will fund your upgrades easily. But if you’re still in mid-game, completing Dondo Island is one of the most efficient ways to earn large sums early.

What You’ll Need to Craft It

To forge the Ultimate Eester Bat, you’ll need:

• A Metal Bat (a common three-star weapon purchasable from multiple shops)
• 100 Ethereal Eester

The bat is easy. The poop? Not so much.

Ethereal Eester – The Golden Grind

Ethereal Eester is the core challenge here. These rare, glowing piles of waste are only found in very specific conditions:

1. Dungeon Drop Method:
   • Complete runs in Hawaii Haunt or Yokohama Underground, the game’s high-level dungeons.
   • In rare, randomly generated rooms, you might find four toilets. Search them—one may hold a single Ethereal Eester.
   • This is slow and unreliable. You might get one per full dungeon run, if you’re lucky.
2. Wandering Merchant Method (Highly Recommended):
   • Head to the Chinatown district in northwest Hawaii.
   • Look for an old man pushing a colorful shopping cart—this is the Wandering Merchant.
   • He sells five Ethereal Eester per spawn.
   • Once bought out, leave the area and return to reset his stock. Even better, use the save and reload methodto force faster resets.

Efficient Route:

Start at the green grocer area in Chinatown—south of the fruit stalls is a taxi on Downtown Street. Save here. Reload your save file, and the Wandering Merchant may appear to the east (left on your map).

Each time he spawns, buy the full stock of five poop piles, save again, reload, and repeat. At most, you’ll need to do this 20 times to hit the 100 Eester requirement. With quick loading and a bit of focus, it’s significantly faster and less frustrating than farming dungeons.

Even if you skip the save method, you can hop on your vehicle and circle Downtown Street, Pearl Avenue, and Lotus Street to locate him. He’s always within the west region of Chinatown.

Why the Ultimate Eester Bat is Worth It

Once you finally gather all 100 Ethereal Eester, head back to the weapon crafting facility and get ready to forge Ichiban’s ultimate tool of destruction. This bat doesn’t just look absurd—it trivializes difficult battles. Poison for steady damage, blindness for disabling threats, and raw stats that rival the best weapons in the game.

This is especially useful when facing optional endgame bosses in dungeons like Hawaii Haunt. Even the fiercest enemies crumble when they can’t see or act properly.

So yes—it’s made of poop. Yes—you’ll need to root through toilets and chase a shopping cart man around Hawaii. But once it’s in your hands, there’s no going back. The Ultimate Eester Bat is a game-changer.

Final Thoughts

Few things in gaming are as gloriously bizarre as forging a golden poop bat to defeat world-ending bosses, but that’s what makes Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth so special. It balances humor, RPG mechanics, and surprising depth in ways no other game dares.

Follow this method, and you’ll turn Ichiban into a golden god of battle. Now go forth, dumpster dive with pride, and bring the stink to your enemies.
