Rise of the Ronin Bashamichi Collectibles and 100% Completion Guide

Rise of the Ronin Bashamichi Map

The in-game map with all 12 Bashamichi 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 Bashamichi. You raise the Area Bond by restoring Public Order, raising Veiled Edge Banners and finding collectibles. Nothing in Bashamichi is missable, so you can also come back after the story. Reaching 100% unlocks Egg Deliveries to your Longhouse.

Bashamichi Veiled Edge Banners

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

1. Sakura Inn Veiled Edge Banner

Location: Sakura Inn, the Anti-Shogunate Base

Follow the main mission Follow Your Blade Twin to meet Kogoro Katsura at the Sakura Inn. The banner unlocks as soon as you get close enough.

2. Dojo Veiled Edge Banner

Location: In front of the Dojo in the center of Bashamichi

The banner stands right in front of the Dojo in the center of the district.

Bashamichi Public Order – Shukan-Benten Shrine

Public Order events are areas occupied by enemies. Defeat all of them to restore order, raise your Area Bond and reveal the Veiled Edge Banners on the map.

Location: Shukan-Benten Shrine in the northwest of Bashamichi

Bashamichi has only one Unruly Area. Bandits occupy the Shukan-Benten Shrine Landmark, so defeat them all to restore Public Order. This also lets you loot the Foreign Book chest inside the shrine.

Bashamichi Fugitive – Sneak-Attack Nezuyoshi

Fugitives are bounty targets you have to find and defeat. You need 50 of the 91 Fugitives in the game for the Keeper of the Peace trophy.

Location: Center of Bashamichi, south of the Dojo

Sneak-Attack Nezuyoshi is south of the Dojo in the center of the district. He is not alone, his friends are with him, so be ready to fight the whole group.

Bashamichi Landmarks – Shukan-Benten Shrine and Sakura Inn

Landmarks are important places you only have to visit. Bashamichi has two of them.

1. Shukan-Benten Shrine

Location: Northwest of Bashamichi, in the middle of the Public Order area

The Shukan-Benten Shrine sits at the center of the Public Order area. Clear the bandits, then walk up to the shrine to collect it. Both Bashamichi cats are close by.

2. Sakura Inn – Anti-Shogunate Base

Location: Sakura Inn, next to the Sakura Inn Veiled Edge Banner

Enter the Sakura Inn to receive the Landmark collectible.

Sakura Inn Landmark Not Unlocking?

The Sakura Inn only opens during the main mission Follow Your Blade Twin, so the Landmark does not pop before that. If it still does not register afterwards, climb onto the roof of the inn and move around up there until the game counts it.

Bashamichi Shrine Location

Location: Small courtyard just north of the Dojo

The shrine is just north of the Dojo, tucked inside a small courtyard. Fast travel to the Dojo banner and walk over.

Bashamichi Cat Locations

Cats are real cats you need to pet, not statues. Listen for meowing, which means one is close. Calico cats run off if you are noisy, so sneak up on them. You need all 100 cats in the game for the Cats Over All trophy, and you can trade them for rewards at the cat vendor in Yokohama.

Both Bashamichi cats are around the Shukan-Benten Shrine in the northwest of the district.

1. Cat on the Tower East of the Shrine

Location: Top of the tower just east of the Shukan-Benten Shrine

This white and grey cat sits on top of the tower east of the shrine. Use the grappling point to reach the top.

2. Cat Below the Tree Southwest of the Shrine

Location: Below a tree just outside the shrine grounds, to the southwest

The orange cat sits below a tree in the tall grass, just outside the shrine grounds.

Bashamichi Treasure Chests – 2 Foreign Books

Treasure Chests are big chests you have to find in the region. Two of the three chests in Bashamichi hold a Foreign Book.

1. Shukan-Benten Shrine Chest – Foreign Book

Location: Inside the Shukan-Benten Shrine

The chest is inside the Shukan-Benten Shrine. Defeat all the bandits and restore Public Order first, then open it to get a Foreign Book.

2. Storehouse East of the Dojo – Awa Navy Polearm

Location: Locked storehouse east of the Dojo

East of the Dojo is one of those locked storehouses that keep a Treasure Chest. To get inside, jump onto one of the lower neighbouring roofs, then over to the scaffolding with the open window. The chest holds the Awa Navy Polearm.

3. Inner Courtyard Chest – Foreign Book and Warm Boots

Location: Inner courtyard just north of the Sakura Inn

Just north of the Sakura Inn is an inner courtyard with an easy to reach Treasure Chest. Open it for a Foreign Book, a Bond Jewel and the Warm Boots.
