Rise of the Ronin Ishikawa Collectibles, Cats and Storehouse Key

Rise of the Ronin Ishikawa Map

The in-game map with all 13 Ishikawa collectibles marked. Click the map to open it in full size.

All collectibles show up on your map once you reach Area Bond Level 3 in Ishikawa. You raise the Area Bond by restoring Public Order, raising Veiled Edge Banners and finding collectibles. Nothing in Ishikawa is missable, so you can also come back after the story.

Ishikawa Cat Locations

Cats are real cats you need to pet, not statues. Listen for meowing, which means one is close. Ishikawa has two of them, and one is a Calico cat that runs off if you are noisy.

1. Sleeping Calico Cat at the Western Banner Tower

Location: At the tower with the Western Road Veiled Edge Banner

A Calico cat sleeps right at the tower of the western Veiled Edge Banner. Crouch and sneak up to it slowly, then pet it. If it wakes up and runs away, leave and come back later to try again.

2. Black Cat Inside the Northwestern House

Location: Inside the house at the northwestern tip of Ishikawa

There is a house at the northwestern tip of the region. Go inside to find a black cat and pet it.

Ishikawa Treasure Chests and the Storehouse Key

Treasure Chests are big chests you open for gear. Two of the three Ishikawa chests are part of the main story, and one of them holds your Glider.

1. Cave Chest in the Southwest

Location: Cave in the southwest, during the main quest The Bridge to Yokohama

During the main quest The Bridge to Yokohama you meet an eccentric ronin inside a cave. Do not follow him too quickly, or you miss the chest inside the cave.

2. Where Is the Storehouse Key? Storehouse Chest With the Glider

Location: The locked storehouse marked on the map below

Keep following the same quest line and take the eccentric ronin to the bandit camp in the main mission Curtain Falls, Curtain Rises. At the end you get the checkpoint permits and the Storehouse Key. The game does not show you where the storehouse is, so use the map above.

Unlock the store room with the key and open the chest inside to get the Glider. You need it to reach a lot of collectibles in the next regions, so grab it right away.

3. Daigoro the Highwayman Chest

Location: Inside the open building in the southeastern corner of Ishikawa

The Fugitive Daigoro the Highwayman guards this chest in the southeastern corner of the map. Defeat him to loot it.

Ishikawa Fugitives – Yosuke and Daigoro

Fugitives are bounty targets you have to find and defeat. Both Ishikawa Fugitives show up at night. If one is not there, follow the main story until you get your Longhouse in Yokohama, rest there until nighttime and come back.

1. Temple-Crasher Yosuke

Location: Closed house at a small estate in the southwest corner of Ishikawa

Yosuke hides at a small estate with three buildings: a white building with an open entrance and a ladder, a closed house and a tower. He is inside the closed house.

Climb the ladder in the white building to the top floor. Step outside, grapple over to the tower, then jump to the closed house and get in through the open window.

2. Daigoro the Highwayman

Location: Open building in the southeastern corner of Ishikawa

Daigoro waits inside an open building in the southeastern corner of the map. He guards the third Ishikawa Treasure Chest, so open it once he is down.

Ishikawa Shrine

Location: The far west of Ishikawa, near the region border

The only Shrine in Ishikawa sits in the very west of the map, close to the border. Walk up to it and pray to collect it.

Ishikawa Photography Location

Location: Elevated viewing platform on the magistrate estate in the northeast of Ishikawa

Take the photo from the elevated viewing platform on the magistrate estate. It has to be noon, so use your clock to fast-forward the time if needed.

Ishikawa Veiled Edge Banners

Veiled Edge Banners are save and fast travel points. As soon as you restore the Public Order, the banners are revealed on the map.

1. Main Village Veiled Edge Banner

Location: Center of the main village

Restore the Public Order in the main village first. Once the village is free, raise the banner in its center.

2. Western Road Tower Veiled Edge Banner

Location: Tower at the western road

Climb the tower at the western road to raise this banner. The sleeping Calico cat is right at this tower, so sneak up to it while you are here.

3. Third Veiled Edge Banner

Ishikawa has a third Veiled Edge Banner. Its location is marked on the Ishikawa overview map at the top of this guide.

Ishikawa Public Order

Location: The main village, the only village in Ishikawa

Public Order events are areas occupied by enemies. Ishikawa only has one, in its main village. Defeat every enemy there to restore order, raise your Area Bond and unlock the Main Village Veiled Edge Banner.
