Onimusha Hidden Treasures — All Locations (1, 2 & 3)
The three hidden treasures in Onimusha: Way of the Sword are Chance Encounter side quests: an NPC hands you an Old Drawing, and the drawing — not the map marker — tells you where to stand. This guide gives the exact route for all three.
How Hidden Treasure Quests Work
- Each quest starts with an NPC who gives you an Old Drawing — a sketch of a landmark, not a map pin.
- Go to the area shown on the drawing, then use Oni Vision (Oni Eyes) to reveal the chest at the exact spot.
- The map marker only shows an approximate area — match the landmarks from the drawing first.
Hidden Treasure 1 — Kiyomizu-zaka Slope
Quest giver: a woman northwest of the Gojo Street – West Spirit Mirror. The drawing shows a rooftop with a pagoda behind it.
- Start at the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope Spirit Mirror (Eastern Kyoto) and head right between the two buildings toward the stairs.
- At the bottom of the stairs, look at the building on the left for a ladder — climb to the roof.
- Take a second, smaller ladder up to a higher roof.
- At the top, use Oni Vision to reveal the chest.
Reward: 1 Fine Silk Cloth, 2 Oni Stones.
Hidden Treasure 2 — Yasaka Pagoda
Quest giver: a man near the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope Spirit Mirror. The drawing hints at a pagoda, a ladder and a waterfall.
- From the Yasaka Pagoda Spirit Mirror, turn so the mirror is behind you and head past the house on the right toward the rock edge (watch for enemies).
- Climb down the ladder at the rock edge, then head left to face the waterfall.
- Use Oni Vision at the bottom of the small waterfall to reveal the chest.
Hidden Treasure 3 — Kamo River East
Quest giver: a woman on the north side of the map, west of the Shijo Street Spirit Mirror. The drawing shows a gate marked with a red X.
- From the Kamo River East Spirit Mirror, run so the mirror is directly behind you.
- Enter through the second gate on the left (not the first) — the temple garden where you fought Ifuu and Burai.
- Inside, go right over the water toward the edge of the area, then around right again past the corruption.
- Ahead is a large closed gate on the left — use Oni Vision in front of it to reveal the chest.
Reward: 1 Fine Silk Cloth, 2 Power Stones.
