AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
This walkthrough for Onimusha: Way of the Sword details how to investigate the Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, track down the stolen Stout Pillars, and defeat the boss Rasho-Gan in the Careful What You Wish For quest.
If you are diving into Onimusha: Way of the Sword and making your way through Eastern Kyoto, you will eventually cross paths with the eerie Yasui Konpiragu Shrine during the Careful What You Wish For quest. After a training session with Takamura, Miyamoto Musashi starts hunting genma and uncovers local rumors about the shrine. Investigating the area means talking to local NPCs, checking out Yorimasa's monument, and speaking with the Stout Pillars at the Hachidai Rikison Shrine to learn that three of their companions have been stolen.
Tracking down the missing statues requires some careful exploration and combat across the surrounding buildings. You will need to climb ladders, navigate attic spaces, and fight off genma ambushes to secure the Seventh, First, and Third Stout Pillars. Along the way, keep an eye out for side events involving villagers, as clearing these optional encounters rewards you with valuable materials to upgrade your gear, armor, and gauntlet before heading back to the shrine.
Once all three statues are safely returned, you will need to absorb a dark mass that triggers a showdown with Rasho-Gan, the mission boss. This multi-phase fight requires you to use your bow strategically to break tethers, destroy slow-moving tracking spheres, and even drop a thrown building right back onto the boss. Overcoming Rasho-Gan rewards you with essential crafting materials, upgrade stones, and unlocks Musashi's first Oni Power, which is required to break malice barriers moving forward.
