Tracking Down Every Hidden Treasure in Onimusha: Way of the Sword
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A complete guide to finding all five hidden treasures in Onimusha: Way of the Sword using cryptic old drawings and map clues.
For players diving into Onimusha: Way of the Sword, hunting down collectibles is a great way to break up the intense demon slaying. Once you hit the To Live is to Suffer main quest, a series of side missions opens up across Eastern Kyoto. These tasks give you vague old drawings to decipher, pointing toward hidden chests packed with valuable gear like fine silk cloth, oni stones, and power stones. Polygon has put together a comprehensive breakdown to save you from aimlessly wandering the streets while enemies try to wipe you out.
The first two treasures rely heavily on visual cues like pagodas and ladders scattered around the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope and Yasaka Pagoda areas. To find them, you need to track down specific rooftops and cascading waterfalls, then pull out your trusty gauntlet to force the invisible chests to materialize. Later hunts get a bit trickier, requiring you to read between the lines of cryptic descriptions rather than relying on obvious landmarks.
For instance, the third treasure points you toward a temple where dragons soar, leading you right back to the genma brothers boss arena. Meanwhile, the final two quests demand some serious verticality, sending you across rooftop pathways and up the sprawling staircases of the Yasaka Pagoda to reach the highest points in the capital. Checking these locations off your map is essential if you want to maximize your upgrades without losing your sanity in the process.
