Tutorial Genichiro
00:00
- Exit out of the well (without the sword jumping and kicking down is faster than walking)
- Wall jump or wall crawl over the gap.
- Either follow the left path, crouching through the plants, under the house and down the left side of the cliffs, jumping up to the building at the end. Or
- Head directly for the building. There are two mobs in front, the one of the right has a gun and requires dodging to the left as you fires, once he lines up to fire jump to the left whilst being careful of the mob on the left. The mob on the left has a sword so you the dodge is quite tight to avoid the bullet and not get too close the left mob. Afterwards head up the stairs starting on the right side to avoid the left mobs, heading towards the left, be aware of the mob on the top right as he has a gun also so be ready to jump-dodge if needed, continue the the left side of the building and pull yourself into the opening.
- Speak with Kuro (required in order for him to appear at the door before tutorial Geni).
- Exit the building the same way, running down the stairs in the same fashion. As you reach the the corner there is a mob around the corner who may sometimes run out, you don’t have to attack but be aware/ready to run around him as he can stand in the way and slow you down.
- If you continue holding run, you can get past the next two mobs in front of the door, run closer to the left mob. Continue through hugging the right side of the steps up to the Miniboss Shigenori. Head immediately right then left, grab the item (2 * Fistful of Ash) jump over and make way to the other side where the door will be.

- After spawning at the Sculptors hut, go behind the Hut and grab the item (Light Coin Purse). Head straight on grappling to the branch over the gap.
- Head forward keeping to the right side, jump over the Idol, running up to a mob next to a broken wall, (there is a also a small platform if you drop down on the right of this mob with an Ako sugar in a cave, not required but available if wanted), head through the broken wall jump and grapple to the far arch. Head right running forward across the next building’s roof that has a hole. Continue along the right side until you reach the next area, where you can grapple to a building in the centre, grab the item (Light Coin Purse). Don’t dawdle here as there are mobs that can aggro to you.
- Head down towards the broken building with the woman in it, head to the bottom of the building grabbing the 3 items (3 * Light Coin Purses).
- Head out head right and jump grappling up to the left before reaching the next arch. Grapple to the top of this rock mound, reaching the shopkeeper.
- Sell 5 * Coin Purses, and Buy Firecrackers.
- Continue past the shopkeeper dropping down on the right, picking up the item (3 * Gachiin Sugars). Jump over the gap, head up grappling to the branch, continue down the left side grappling up the next next building roof.
- Use a Gachiin at the end of the roof, grapple to the next building, run past or kill the mobs on the right (1 can dealt with a stealth blow), and run up to chained ogre on the left, crouching as you approach move around to the back of his right leg and get the stealth deathblow. If you miss the deathblow but have time on your Gachiin I’d recommend heading down the stairs on the top-left there is an idol which you can rest at the reset the area.

- Grapple to the next building.
- Head out and right, heading towards the Headless mob location, grabbing the item (Divine Confetti). Then turnaround and run towards the valley. They’ll be a mob next to the broken bridge but you can run past him and drop down to the next area.
- Continue heading down until you reach the first gap requiring a grapple on the opposite side of the valley. This one you can run/jump around the left wall grappling to a branch on the left. Immediately jump forward to the other side grappling, and if the snake notices you head on the right-side of the platform to avoid the attack, if not run through the small tunnel straight away.
- Head left, if you are keep running you can reach the wall and can start wall crawling straight away, if not crouch in the grass and wait for the snake to be looking the other way. Tapping right moves you quicker then holding right, once reaching just before being able to step off, jump off as it’s quicker.
- You can either use the tent, or quicker to run past the right side of the tent (left-side you will get hit) get to the left wall and wait for the snake to attack. 3 Grapples to the far side, and continue on grappling to the other side. Up to the idol grabbing the left item (Gachiin Sugar), rest at idol (this is to reset enemy positions) head back dropping down and running right to grab the far item (Ako Sugar).
- Jump climb up (if you didn’t rest there will be a mob here that will aggro), jump and walk through the window in building drop down on other side, crouch and walk back into the building grabbing the 2 items (Heavy Coin Purse and Balloons)
- Use Homeward Idol to go back to Dilapidated Temple, get Firecrackers. Head back to Idol. Equip Firecrackers, add D.Confetti and Ako to quick items, use Heavy Coin Purse, Purchase 50 spirit emblems from Idol. Travel back to Ashina Castle Fortress.
- Grapple up the right side, run along the roof jumping past the mob on the right. Be careful sometimes he aggros sometimes he doesn’t, so can either run past avoiding his shot or kill him although be careful if aggroed any mobs behind as well. After wards grapple up and head into Gyoubu’s arena.

- Get Idol at door of arena, Use memory for Attack power.
- Run up the stairs, run past the mob on the right-hand side to avoid his shot, grapple up and run right going back on yourself. There is a mob next to a tree looking towards the Gyoubu arena, backstab. (If you aggro, I’d recommend jumping into the Gyoubu arena and resting at Idol to reset.) Jump into Gyoubu arena and head to the opposite side up the stairs, enter the building and speak to Tengu until he gives you the Ashina esoteric texts. Homeward Idol to Dilapidated temple.
- Speak to Sculptor to get the Shinobi esoteric text. Use Idol, and acquire/buy the Mikiri Counter skill in the Shinobi tree. Teleport to Ashina Castle Gate.
- Again run up the stairs on the right-side grappling up, continue forward running past the mobs and over to the right. (An alternate path is heading left as on a platform on the left side of the next building there are some Ako sugars for a damage buff, afterwards you would run directly to Bull past the large mobs). Climb up, grapple to the next building, try to wall jump around to the right as doing correctly allows you to get into the arena without aggroing the mobs behind, (if aggro-ed hurry this opening up as you don’t want them entering the arena), 2 slash the mob on the left, buff with Ako and approach until Bull aggros.

Use Gachiin, when he deaggro’s and turns immediately run, grapple to the next roof and run past along the left side of the roof (don’t stall as he then has chance to reaggro), ‘Woooo’ guy will fly above you if you continue running, turn right running along the wall, once you reach the end jump and grapple to the window opening on the right. (Must be done quickly as there is a flying mob who will crash down once you reach the end).
- Get Idol and rest, head back to window jump on ledge.
- (Would recommend watching video above for example of this skip) Run against the window frame to build up speed, then turning right and jumping off the ledge to the roof on the left which you will need to wall jump onto.
