The Ruckus at Rendaino Walkthrough
[1] Defeat the Genma
Musashi arrives at the temple and meets Ono no Takamura and Izumo no Okuni, along with a group of monsters known as Genma. Takamura won't talk to him until the Genma are dealt with, so Musashi needs to clear them out first.
[2] Seal the Rift
After defeating the Genma, a bloody red blotch appears in the sky. Takamura explains that it's a Rift, and that Musashi needs to absorb it the same way he absorbs Genma to seal it.
Once the all the Genma are gone, approach the Rift and seal it as instructed.
[3] Speak with Takamura
After sealing the Rift, head to the waypoint to talk to Takamura.
[4] Follow Takamura
Takamura says that without a Gauntlet, Musashi will die, though his own Oni Gauntlet is different.
He then tells Musashi to follow him to a well, which absorbs them both.
[5] Speak with Takamura Again
Inside the well, Takamura shows Musashi the Oni Gate. Simply walk and talk with him to continue. During the conversation, Takamura explains that he is the gate's guardian and an Onimusha (that's the name of the game!).
Takamura then explains what he needs from Musashi. Kyoto has locations called key sanctuaries whose powers can keep the gate closed. But with the rise of Genma, the sanctuaries are growing weaker. Takamura tasks Musashi with purifying the sanctuaries to strengthen the gate. In exchange, Musashi gets more souls to awaken his Gauntlet.
Musashi and Takamura leave the Oni Gate. Back in the human realm, follow the waypoint. Okuni tells them Kiyomizu-dera Temple is being attacked. Since it's one of the key sanctuaries, Takamura sends Musashi to save it.
[6] Speak with Okuni
Musashi will need help from Okuni first, so follow the waypoint to her location.
Okuni shows Musashi the Spirit Mirror, which teleports him to the sanctuary. She also gives him the Hozuki Pouch, which restores his health when used.
After claiming the Pouch, the quest ends. Continue to Kiyomizu-dera Temple when ready.
