There are five Hidden Treasures in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which appear as chance encounters that become available once you reach the main quest “To Live is to Suffer.” This guide will provide you with all Hidden Treasure locations in the game, including their exact spots on the map.
Hidden Treasure No. 1 Location
- Location: Near the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope Spirit Mirror.
Here, you need to talk to a woman northwest of the Gojo Street – West Spirit Mirror. Once you obtain an Old Drawing No. 1 from her with the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope and a rooftop pagoda, travel to the Spirit Mirror, then go right and take the narrow path behind the buildings. Follow the path to the roof by climbing the ladder on the left side. There will be a second, smaller ladder. Climb that to reach the top. Once there, use Oni Eyes to find a chest containing a Fine Silk Cloth and 2 Oni Stones.
Hidden Treasure No. 2 Location
- Location: West of the Yasaka Pagoda Spirit Mirror.
You will find an Old Drawing No. 2 given by the man located near the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope Spirit Mirror. Take the narrow street path and go downhill. Look for the ladder on the right side. Take the ladder and go to the west side to reach a small waterfall with Buddha statues above. Use your Oni Eyes at the bottom of the waterfall to reveal a chest containing a Fine Silk Cloth and a couple of Oni Stones.
Hidden Treasure No. 3 Location
- Location: Near the Kami River – East Spirit Mirror.
Locate and speak to a woman on the north side of the map, west of the Shijo Street Spirit Mirror. She will give you an Old Drawing No. 3 with a gate leading into a garden. From the main door, just east of the Spirit Mirror, enter and immediately head to your right. Alternatively, you could approach the area where you previously fought two Genma brothers, then turn right before the temple main building to the east side of the garden. Approach the closed gate from the inside of the garden area and use Oni Eyes to reveal the chest in front of the gate with a Fine Silk Cloth and 2 Power Stones.
Hidden Treasure No. 4 Location
- Location: Southeastern side of Eastern Kyoto, near the Gojo Street – East Spirit Mirror.
Once you find a man selling geta on Shijo Street, north side of the map, he’ll give you an Old Drawing No. 4 with the outside corner of a wraparound veranda and a pagoda in the distance. Follow the path from the Spirit Mirror, climb the stairs on the right and walk along the wall to cross the gap. Take the path left and continue northeast. At the highest part, climb the large stone steps to reach a small shrine, but do not enter it. Go around to the left side of the building to the small balcony that overlooks the area and use your Oni Eyes there for a chest with a Fine Silk Cloth and 2 Power Stones..
Hidden Treasure No. 5 Location
- Location: Yasaka Pagoda, east of Rokudo-chinnoji Temple.
Finally, speak to a woman on the northern side of the map, west of the Shijo Street Spirit Mirror, who will mention a mysterious armored ghost looking for Musashi. She will also give you an Old Drawing No. 5 with a partial rooftop and street. Enter the pagoda area, which you can find by turning right from near the Spirit Mirror. Climb the series of stairs all the way up until you emerge on the upper rooftop. Clear the Genma at the top and use Oni Eyes on the southern side of the upper level to reveal the chest with a Fine Silk Cloth, 2 Oni Stones, and a Skeleton Hozuki.
