    At the end of the path, find the STONE HEAD. Place it on the Jizo statue with the missing head near the entrance to get a Life OTG item.
  3. 3

    SAVE your game.

    After the cutscene, Ayane gives you the BOW.
  8. 8
    Jump downstairs to a small supply room. Buy the ARMLET OF THE SUN if you have enough cash. Scour the shelves for items.

    Replenish stock at Muramasa's Statue. SAVE your game at the Save Point.
  16. 16
    BOSS BATTLE: MASAKADO.

    After defeating Masakado, grab the Life OTG item he leaves behind. Exit through the double doors and SAVE at the next Save Point.

    Enter the burning courtyard of the Clan Leader's Residence. Defeat the Samurais and Warlocks.
  19. 19
    Enter the small alley on the left of the house to find a chest with an item.

    Head inside the house. Slice through burning walls to reveal enemies. Prioritize Warlocks, being mindful of the inferno in the center.
