Rise of the Ronin contains many secrets waiting to be discovered, and that includes secret bosses that gave me valuable rewards after defeating them. Here are all the locations of the hidden bosses in Rise of the Ronin!
Where to find all the hidden bosses in Rise of the Ronin
There are nine hidden bosses hidden throughout the world of Rise of the Ronin, evenly distributed across three cities. After defeating each boss, you will be able to open the chest hidden in their arena and collect an item giving you four skill points.
Not all bosses will be available right from the start as you will need to unlock both Edo and Kyoto along with Yokohama. Defeating all the bosses will grant you the Seven War Classic rare gear.
Yokohama
Beloved
Travel to the leftmost Veiled Edge Banner located next to a house at the end of the wooden bridge. Drop down with a glider and turn towards the house. Explore the area around the giant stone elevation until you see a cave under a tree with a rope ribbon. Drop down into the cave to find the boss.
Shiba
Travel to the Shibo region and explore the forest region northwest of the lake. Look for the orange fall tree with a string ribbon tied around it. Go over the tree to find a large tree with a larger oversized rope ribbon and jump into the cave in front of it.
Hiranuma-Shinden
Go to the coast in the north-to-northeast part of the Hiranuma-Shinden region. Drop down to the beach and look around until you spot a cave. Enter the cave and continue until you reach a large room. Yokohama's third boss will be waiting for you.
Ed
Shiba
Go to the top right of Shiba's lower island. Go down to the beach and turn towards downtown Shiba. You'll spot a cave leading to Shiba's first boss.
Don't be fooled
In the Senzoku region, go to the easternmost Voiled Edge Banner and then use the glider to go south. Once you end up in the dock, you should spot a cave leading to the boss.
Kanda
The Kanda head is located across the river in the north. Cross the river and reach the shore to spot a cave leading to the final boss in this area.
Kyoto
Higashiyama
There are still three left! The first boss in Kyoto hides northwest of the Kiyomizudera Temple. Climb the tower and turn towards the temple to spot a tall tree. The boss is waiting for you in the cave next to it.
Shirakawa
Spawn in the Voiled Edge Banner below the Shimogano Shrine and jump into the river. Swim north, then turn right and head to the shore across from the shrine. As usual, the boss is hiding in the big cave.
Karasuma
After reaching the Karasuma region in Kyoto, go to the Horikawa border. Go into the trench and go west until you find the ninth boss.
