Hamon in Stand Out, the Ripple, is taught by Lisa Lisa, and she says the training costs 10,000 dalas. This guide covers how to reach her, her offer and what the game says about the training mask and the Hamon styles. It was put together on a save that was short of the fee, so what happens after you pay is not covered here.
Quick answer: Talk to Billy in the hospital, then find Lisa Lisa by the big pillar at the training grounds. Lisa Lisa offers “1. Pay 10,000 dalas” and says to put on the mask.
What to bring before starting Hamon training
You need one thing, and that’s money. Lisa Lisa charges 10,000 dalas for the training. Billy warns you about this before you ever meet her, so plan to arrive with the full amount. Your current dalas total is the gold counter at the bottom right of the HUD. Check it before you make the trip.
- 10,000 dalas on hand when you talk to Lisa Lisa
- Access to the phone’s Maps app, which has pins for the hospital, Billy and Lisa Lisa
- An empty subability slot only matters if you take the vampire route instead (covered further down)
How to get Hamon from Billy and Lisa Lisa
“Hamon? That’s Lisa Lisa’s department. She’s by the big pillar. Bring dalas, she doesn’t teach for free.”
The only reply available is “1. Thanks.” Pick it to close the conversation.
“If you intend to learn the Ripple, you will first learn to control your breathing. Put on this mask and follow my instructions. The training costs 10,000 dalas.”
The grounds around the pillar have training stations. One of them is a tightrope. Stand beside the start of the rope and the game shows “Hold [H] to Interact” to use it.
What the Ripple Training Mask does
The RIPPLE TRAINING MASK is listed as an ACCESSORY in THE ARCHIVE. Its page describes it this way:
“Lisa Lisa’s breathing mask tightens every 33 seconds and requires steady breathing to avoid choking until you pass basic training’s final test or learn a Hamon style, with passing the test ending the prompts even without a style.”
Put simply, the mask tightens on a 33-second cycle, and you have to keep your breathing steady to avoid choking. Under WHEN WORN, its Modifiers line reads “+3 Ability”.
The mask’s description explains when training is complete: either pass basic training’s final test or learn a Hamon style. Passing the test silences the prompts even if you haven’t chosen a style.
Hamon styles listed in THE ARCHIVE
Training leads into a Hamon style. THE ARCHIVE’s ABILITIES file has four entries. Three of them are Hamon styles.
| Ability | Type | In-game summary |
|---|---|---|
| JONATHAN HAMON | Hamon style | “Channel Hamon through your strikes and objects you throw.” |
| CAESAR HAMON | Hamon style | “Shape Hamon into bubbles with Caesar’s gloves.” |
| ZEPPELI HAMON | Hamon style | “Channel Will Zeppeli’s Hamon through walls, floors and liquids.” |
| VAMPIRE | Not Hamon | “Keep your blood-sustained undead body fed and out of the sun.” |
The move lists are what set the three styles apart, so they’re worth reading before you commit.
JONATHAN HAMON moves
Jonathan’s kit is about direct punches, plus a support move that can bring a teammate back.
- Sunlight Yellow Overdrive: “Strike repeatedly with Hamon-infused punches.”
- Scarlet Overdrive: “A burning uppercut that launches an unguarded target.”
- Zoom Punch: “Stretch your arm to land a Hamon punch from a distance.”
- Hamon Leap: “Spring forward with Hamon in a low, powerful leap.”
- Life-Giving Overdrive: “Revive a downed player at 15% health, heal a hurt one or speed up a planted crop.”
CAESAR HAMON moves
Caesar fights at range with bubbles and can take control of an enemy’s movement.
- Bubble Launcher: “Fire a burst of Hamon bubbles.”
- Bubble Cutter: “Throw two spinning bubble cutters.”
- Ripple Hypnosis: Its effect is described as “Infuse an enemy with Hamon and make them follow your cursor.”
- Bubble Lenses: “Place a lens, or hold to breathe.”
ZEPPELI HAMON moves
Zeppeli mixes kicks with Hamon sent through surfaces, and adds a movement tool for water and walls.
- Sendo Wave Kick!: “Lunge forward with a zoom kick.”
- Tornado Overdrive!: “Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin.”
- Sendo Hamon Overdrive: “Punch Hamon through a wall or into the ground.”
- Ripple Cutter: “Sip your juice and spit six spinning blades.”
- Sticking Ripple: “Walk on water and climb walls with Hamon.”
If you already have a Stand, the shared Sub-ability skills entry under the Hamon styles reads “With a Stand, use two base skills and your abilitys evasive.” The missing apostrophe is in the game’s own text.
Stone Mask and VAMPIRE: The other path
The STONE MASK is a CONSUMABLE that leads to VAMPIRE, not to Hamon. It matters here because finished Hamon training gets in its way. THE ARCHIVE describes it in one line:
“An ancient mask that turns you into a vampire, provided your subability slot is empty and any completed basic Hamon training has been reset with a Sapphire Roka.”
That gives the Stone Mask two conditions. Your subability slot has to be empty, and any basic Hamon training you’ve completed has to be reset with a Sapphire Roka. In other words, paying Lisa Lisa and finishing basic training means you’ll need a Sapphire Roka before a Stone Mask will work on you.
VAMPIRE’s own kit shows how different it is from the Hamon styles. Blood Drain is a throat grab that “drain[s] their blood to refill your blood meter and heal.” Space Ripper Stingy Eyes is listed as “Fire two cutting jets from your eyes and sweep them across enemies.” Vaporization Freezing Technique can “Freeze an enemy solid for 3 seconds to stop their attack.” If you want Hamon, Lisa Lisa’s training costs 10,000 dalas.
