Unlock and wield the ultimate weapons in Onimusha: Way of the Sword! Discover locations and uses for swords like Enryuu, Raizan, Shippuu, and the Bishamon Sword.

Alright, let's talk about the gear you'll be using to cleave through those demons in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Having the right weapon can make all the difference, so knowing what's out there and where to find it is key. Here's a rundown of the weapons you'll encounter:

• Bishamon Sword — This is a seriously powerful sword, but it's sealed away by the demons. You'll only get your hands on it in the Demon Realm, right before the final boss. You need the Bishamon Ocarina from the Dark Realm to access the room where it's hidden.
• Bow — A fairly standard, if slightly large, bow. You'll find this one in the Keep, tucked away in a combination box in the back room near the stairs that lead up to the second floor.
• Enryuu — This is the sword of fire! Its power is unlocked once you find the Fire Orb.
• Knife — This is Kaede's go-to. It's got a short blade, but it's her default weapon.
• Kunai — A great throwing weapon for Kaede. It's her starting gear, and you'll find more scattered throughout the game.
• Matchlock — This is a hefty 18.4mm caliber firearm, crafted in Sakai. To get it, head to the west area and find the chest. You'll need to use the Statue Head on the corresponding statue to unlock it.
• Normal Sword — Your basic, run-of-the-mill sword. It's what you start with, a standard warrior's blade.
• Raizan — This is the sword of thunder. You'll get it after you find the Thunder Orb.
• Sacred Knife — Another knife for Kaede, this one has the special ability to dispel demons. You'll find it in the West Area.
• Shippuu — This sword channels the power of wind. You get it after you defeat the second major boss, the Wind Orb boss, who's chilling on top of the Keep roof.
