All Hidden Treasure Locations in Onimusha: Way of the Sword

There are plenty of secrets tucked away all across Kyoto in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, but the Hidden Treasure Chance Encounters are among the easiest to miss. There are five treasures to find, and each one starts with an NPC who gives you an Old Drawing showing a rough picture of the location. Finding the exact spot can take some exploring. This guide covers all five Hidden Treasure locations in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the quests that unlock them, and the easiest way to reach each one. If you're stuck finding the hidden path in the In the Light of an Icy Moon quest in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, this guide can help. The Hidden Treasure quests are part of the Chance Encounter system in Onimusha. These are story-related side quests that begin when you meet certain NPCs. Once a Hidden Treasure quest is active, the NPC gives you an Old Drawing that acts as a clue to the treasure's location. The drawing usually shows a landmark, a building, or a particular part of the environment, with an X marking the spot. You will also receive an approximate map marker, but it is important to remember that this marker does not show the exact treasure location. It only narrows down the search area. When you reach the correct place, use the Oni Vision to reveal the Hidden Treasure. The treasures are not always sitting in obvious chests, so if the drawing seems to point to a wall, rooftop, or small structure, inspect the surrounding area carefully. Hidden Treasure No. is located near the Kiyomizu-zaka Slope Spirit Mirror. The X on the drawing is actually pointing toward a rooftop. If you search the streets below, you will not find anything useful. Instead, look for a nearby alley with a long ladder that leads up to a roof. Climb the first ladder, then continue to the smaller ladder that takes you to the next rooftop. Once you reach the top, use the Oni Vision to reveal the Hidden Treasure. The two ladders are the key to this treasure. If you have reached the first rooftop but cannot find the treasure, keep climbing rather than returning to the alley. Hidden Treasure No. 2 treasure is found near the Yasaka Pagoda and its Spirit Mirror. The Old Drawing shows a ladder, a waterfall, and the pagoda. These details are enough to identify the location, but the picture itself is not particularly clear. The easiest way to narrow down the search is to zoom in on the map and look for nearby ladders. You can also follow the stream in the area. As you move along it, you will eventually find a small waterfall. The Hidden Treasure is located at the bottom of this waterfall. Once you reach the correct spot, activate the Oni Vision to find this treasure. Hidden Treasure No. 3 treasure is located near the Kamo River East Spirit Mirror. Follow the quest marker to the location shown on Old Drawing No. 3. As you approach the marked area, Musashi will reach the correct destination, triggering a glowing sparkle and an on-screen notification. The drawing shows a gate with a red X marking the treasure's location. Shizuka also hints that the drawing is worth checking, so use it to compare the gate with the surroundings. You may find boxes, urns, and vases to break while exploring, but the treasure chest itself will not be visible at first. Stand in front of the gate shown in the drawing and press V to activate Oni Vision. The hidden treasure chest will appear. Hidden Treasure No. 4 is located near the Gojo Street East Spirit Mirror, in an area that is usually crawling with Genma. The location can be frustrating because the treasure is hidden away from the main route. In the northeastern part of the area, you will find a small building that looks like a shrine. To reach it, you'll need to take the longer southern route around the area. Once you arrive at the building, do not go inside. Instead, move around to the left side, where you will find a small balcony overlooking Eastern Kyoto. Use your Oni Vision on the balcony to find the fourth Hidden Treasure. Hidden Treasure No. 5 is the easiest Hidden Treasure to find because the location is the Yasaka Pagoda itself. Head to the pagoda and climb inside. There are a bunch of ladders here that you can continue climbing until you reach the upper rooftop. A few Genma enemies are waiting at the top, so deal with them before searching for the treasure. Once the area is clear, move to the southern side of the upper level and use the Oni Vision to reveal the final Hidden Treasure. How many Hidden Treasures are there in Onimusha: Way of the Sword?
