How to Reach a 1-Star Dondoko Island Resort Rating in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Dondoko Island is a massive experience for players in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and the crux of the Animal Crossing like location is to raise the rating all the way to five stars. But before you can do that, you have to start by raising the resort’s rating to 1-star for Dondoko Island in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

What are the Dondoko Island 1-star rating requirements in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?

There are four main requirements you must meet before you can reach a 1-star rating for Dondoko Island in Infinite Wealth. You’ll see a common thread across most of the first few stars for what you have to do, but here is what you need to meet in order to get the first star for the resort:

• 1,000 Satisfaction rating
• 700 Popularity
• Clear out the entrance area
• Clear out the Great Tree area

You’ll want to do these four tasks as soon as possible, both to advance the Dondoko Island story and start inviting guests to the island. You’ll also get some massive monetary rewards, both for your overall money and Dondoko bucks upon completion.

How do I unlock the 1-star Dondoko Island resort rating fast?

If you want to get 1,000 Satisfaction rating, the best way to do this is to build DIY recipes and place them all over the island. I recommend sorting your recipes at the workbench by Satisfaction and then building the ones at the top of the list. Large buildings will get this done the fastest. Popularity is a similar feature, but you also want to focus on collecting items like fish, bugs, and the like.

As for the two areas you need to clear out, I recommend starting with the entrance. Clear out trash every single day to raise the cleanliness rating from F all the way to either A or S. Doing so will make the costs for clearing it out way cheaper than before. It will be a tiny fraction and give you time to save up. Just watch out for enemies every morning. Once you clear the entrance, do the same for the Great Tree. Be sure to clean the trash for both every day together to save time, but pay for the entrance’s clearing first, then the Great Tree.

Once you do this, speak with Matayoshi to raise your island’s rating to 1-star.
