Location: Upper Tower - Main AntechamberĪfter you gain entrance to the Upper Tower through the Nightjar Ninja-infested rooftops, head into the main antechamber room and look for a room on the side where two Ashina Elite are looking over a map of the area on the floor.Īfter defeating them, look for a small portrait between two suits of armor.Head down the hall to the left to find a room with Divine Confetti, and a large screen on the other side of the room that hides a chest you can open to find a Prayer Bead! Inside here are many untouched spoils, including a Mibu Balloon of Wealth and Light Coin Purse. Look at the wall at the end of the passage with a painting and hug the wall to reveal a Shinobi Shortcut Secret Door, which leads to a secret room! If this sounds like too much trouble, you can always "use" the Bell Demon in your inventory to make it go away.Īfter defeating Juzou the Drunk and gaining access to the main Audience Chamber in the estate, look for a short hallway on the left side where to Bandits patrol, and the hall suddenly ends after a left turn. If you do so anyway, you'll be cursed by a Bell Demon in your inventory that will make foes more difficult, but increase rewards dropped. Head up the stairs past a Centipede enemy to find a Sculptor's Idol and a large bell with a note imploring you to not to ring the bell. This will take you all the way to the Senpou Temple, Mount Kongo region far earlier than you should normally be able to visit - but the spot is isolated from the rest of the area due to a nearby locked door. Run around behind it and look along the walls for a small tunnel opening that leads to a Shinobi Shortcut. It's best not to engage this enemy until later when you have better tools. If you look behind the shrine you can find a tree to grapple to, and then jump down to grab a cliff ledge to move to a large cave below.Īt the bottom of this cave is a Headless Mini-Boss that cannot be damaged by normal means, and will sap your will to run. Once you have defeated the Chained Ogre in the Ashina Outskirts, head up into the next courtyard where a Samurai General and his men are located.įrom here, take a right out the large doors to find a small shrine and a warning note about a Headless. Though this door is clearly outlined, the location of the shortcut itself can be tricky to find. Leads to: Senpou Temple - Bell Demon's Temple.
