Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Players can purchase upgrades at a shop found on each stage.
  2. 2
    The shop offers new moves, amulets (accessories with passive bonuses), Ninpo, and alternate costumes.
  3. 3
    To expand the shop's available wares, players must collect Oboro Artifacts hidden throughout the levels.
  4. 4
    Ankou Rifts are special portals that lead to challenging platforming sections.
  5. 5
    Completing these challenges rewards Musashi with fragments of a sword.
  6. 6
    Once all sword fragments are collected, the player gains access to the Dark Katana, a weapon that deals more damage than Musashi's standard sword.
Tips
  • Prioritize collecting Oboro Artifacts to unlock the best upgrades and gear early on.
  • Tackle Ankou Rifts when you feel confident in your platforming skills to acquire the powerful Dark Katana.
  • Experiment with different Ninpo and amulets to find combinations that suit your playstyle.
