🖥 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PCOnimusha: Way of the Sword - All bosses
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/rasho-gan.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Onimusha: Way of the Sword(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/onimusha-the-way-of-the-sword) marks the triumphant return of Capcom's samurai action franchise after a twenty-year hiatus, with all of the hallmarks that it possessed back in the PlayStation 2 days, including fast action, Issen counterattacks, and plenty of screen-filling bosses. Miyamoto Musashi will need every ounce of his wits and skill to beat these contenders, many of whom are dangerously fierce and reminiscent of Soulslike opponents, even though Way of the Sword is more of a traditional hack 'n slash action adventure game. Way of the Sword offers two difficulty modes upon startup, including a Story Mode that will let you decimate most enemies in your path. But on Action Mode, none of these bosses are a walk in the park, and some will even be a challenge on Story Mode. To help Musashi rise supreme against all contenders, we've got you covered with our comprehensive list of all bosses in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, along with strategies for beating them.

🖥 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PCOnimusha: Way of the Sword - How to get Power Stones
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/musashi-standing-by-shrine.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Power Stones in Onimusha: Way of the Sword(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/onimusha-the-way-of-the-sword) are one of the most important currency types you can get. You need Power Stones to unlock most of Musashi's major skills. And yet for all their significance, Way of the Sword never tells you where or how to find them. There are two main ways of getting Power Stones. One is largely outside your control, as it happens naturally while you progress the story. The other takes a bit of tracking down, and careful exploration of each level outside of the central Kyoto hub. In this guide, we'll explain how to get Power Stones in Onimusha: Way of the Sword and what to look out for while you're searching for treasure.

🖥 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PCOnimusha: Way of the Sword - Underground Laboratory mask puzzle solution
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/musashi-standing-with-masks.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Onimusha: Way of the Sword(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/onimusha-the-way-of-the-sword)'s Underground Laboratory mask puzzle is a bit of a head scratcher. It's one of the first times the game gives you a puzzle and expects you to figure out the answer based on the environment, and unless you're paying close attention, it's easy to overlook or overthink the clues. It's also the end of the road until you figure out the solution, as solving the mask puzzle is part of progressing through the Underground Laboratory.

🖥 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PCOnimusha: Way of the Sword - How to parry and deflect
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/miyamoto-musashi-holding-sword.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Parrying and deflecting in Onimusha: Way of the Sword(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/onimusha-the-way-of-the-sword) might seem like your standard action game moves, but they're among the most essential skills you can use in any fight. Deflecting initially seems good for dealing with the pesky Genma archers that seem to infest every corner of Kyoto, and it is. However, it's also the fastest way to whittle down an enemy's stamina bar, which opens them up to critical hits. Parrying, meanwhile, does more than just block an incoming hit without Musashi taking stamina damage and losing his stance. Depending on where you're fighting, you can throw enemies into each other, which instantly depletes their stamina, or chuck them into a wall and disrupt their battle flow for a bit. Parrying is also how you activate the Blaze state, which increases your damage. You should get in the habit of regularly using both skills. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to parry and deflect in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and when it's best to pull off each move.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCMortal Shell 2: Desolate Keep walkthrough (Part 16)
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/mortal-shell-2-standing-in-desolate-keep.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) The Desolate Keep, hidden away behind an illusory wall in the Marrow Keep, is one of the most intriguing dungeons it's possible to find in Mortal Shell 2(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/mortal-shell-2). It may not be the longest dungeon in the game, but it's likely the most layered, with multiple secret passages, and more than a few nods to one of the oldest and most iconic levels in gaming. It's also far more challenging than most areas you can find in Fainweald, which is why we've left it until now to tackle. But now, it's time. Below I'll walk you through exactly how to 100% the Desolate Keep, revealing every secret with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions.

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/mortal-shell-2-lost-child-close-up.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) The Sanguine Caverns can be found at the very northmost point of the Mortal Shell 2(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/mortal-shell-2) map, and contains the game's third major boss: the frightful Lost Child. With everything else in Fainweald now conquered, it's time for us to journey to these far north reaches and cleanse the land of its last scant bits of corruption. Below, I've put together an easy to follow step-by-step guide to the entire region of the Sanguine Caverns, including every dungeon, every foe and boss encounter, and every tucked away valuable item - of which there are several in this area of Fainweald! So, let's begin the last stage of your cleanup of Fainweald with our 100% Sanguine Caverns walkthrough. Read more(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/mortal-shell-2-walkthrough-part-15-sanguine-caverns)
🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCThe Blood of Dawnwalker: All endings explained
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/TBODCoenEnding.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) The Blood of Dawnwalker(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/the-blood-of-dawnwalker) has one main goal for Coen – to save his family. You spend 30 days (and nights) figuring out your best defence against Brencis, levelling up skills, collecting armour and teaming up with allies. But it turns out defeating him isn't the only way to get everyone home safe. In fact, sometimes defeating him might still lead to the demise of your nearest and dearest. I played through the game's four full story endings to see what would happen and, unfortunately, it's bad news for Lunka at almost every turn. There's also three additional early endings you can try on for size, which we'll cover at the end. In this guide I'll fully explain how to get all endings in The Blood of Dawnwalker, and what can happen to your family along the way in each case.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCThe Blood of Dawnwalker: All Sanzhana locations
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/sanzhana-blood-of-dawnwalker.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Across Vale Sangora, there are little moth-like creatures called Sanzhana who possess a very special skill, one of utmost importance – the ability to gift you time. With only 30 days (and nights) to come up with a plan to eliminate Brencis and save your family, the promise of extra time will undoubtedly sound like a very enticing offer. And if you're also embarking on the Arbiter Suit of Armour quest, you'll have already heard mention of the Sanzhani for an important quest item, Silk Threads. But in order to receive these riveting rewards, you'll need to help out the Sanzhana first. In fact, there are five different quests to complete before you can stretch time to your advantage. And as you complete each quest, you also have the opportunity to send messages to Lunka and receive replies. In this guide, we'll reveal all five Sanzhana locations in The Blood of Dawnwalker and what you must do to complete their quests.

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PCThe Blood of Dawnwalker: How to defeat Bakir
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/TBODLunarTournament.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) As one of Brencis's three Boyars in The Blood of Dawnwalker(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/the-blood-of-dawnwalker), Bakir is a force to be reckoned with. Defeating him before you get to Brencis though is a wise idea. It's likely you'll have already taken down Xanthe and Ambrus before you've found yourself here, but there's something a little more puzzling about the battle with Bakir. The Mad Khan is not as easy to get to, hiding behind his own cohort and a rather strange tournament. Plus, if you find yourself following one particular route, you might choose not to kill him at all (though we strongly advise that you do). In this guide, we'll reveal how to defeat Bakir in The Blood of Dawnwalker, and what can happen if you choose to veer from our guidance.
