Complete Walkthrough

Head to Rinko's house

Follow the street to the east. Soon, you will run into a monster and be introduced to the focusing tutorial. After defeating the monster, continue east to find a Hokora shrine on the right as well as pick up some Red Capsules from the truck at the dead end.

Turn back and head west. If you explore the area to the south that is now covered in red flowers, you can find a Toolkit at a small table in the northwestern corner of the area. Follow the alley to the south to also collect Red Capsules from a round stool on the right and a Dried Carcass (⛩200) in a box at the dead end.

Return to the main street and be prepared for a monster to be waiting for you on your way back. On the street, go left and look for a lit-up entrance to the alley that will take you north and pick up a Ramune (⛩20) on a low wall on the right.

Proceed north, where you can inspect a scarecrow. Enter the garden to the west of the scarecrow to collect a First Aid Kit. Take the path west to explore this section of alleys between the two streets. To the right is a beer ad poster you can examine. Go further west until you hit a dead end with two monsters – one stabbing at a wall and another coming from the south. After you deal with them, grab a Higashi (⛩80) on a plant stand by a tree and check a small alleyway in the north to find the Upgrade: Shoulder Bag that increases your inventory capacity.

Trace back to the beer poster and take the alley to the north with another monster. Enter a garden behind a house to your right to collect a divine by a water pump and a Local Doctor’s Note (1) at the bench.

Exit the garden and head west and then north to find yourself on the northern street on the opposite side of the road block that you saw earlier in the game. From here, head east and visit the construction site to the north to find a Steel Pipe and a Kudzu Tea (⛩100) in the box to the left. Prepare to be ambushed by a monster in the process, though. By the ladders in the opposite corner, you’ll find another box, containing an Arare (⛩10).

Return to the street and collect a Bandage in a wooden crate before the blue truck. Continue east. You can check a crack in the wall of a house to your right. Enter the house's garden to find a Higashi (⛩80) in a red box.

New Game+: Sacred Sword Puzzle At the inner corner of the first house on the north street, you will find the Research Journal Photo 2 and Regarding the "Legend of the Sacred Sword" (3), which are parts of the Sacred Sword Puzzle.

Continue east until you see another Hokora shrine. Right across the street, you will find an Upgrade: Ema next to a house (replaced with a Higashi (⛩80) if picked up in earlier games).

Further east, you can move some wooden boards in a shed that you can move and get yourself a Sickle. Go on to reach a street junction and watch a cutscene. At the junction, you can grab some Red Capsules next to a house.

New Game+ Next to the house at the junction, you will find the Diary of Revenge (2) and an Upgrade: Ema inside the Inari-sama box (replaced by a Higashi (⛩80) if the items are already picked up in earlier games).

From the junction, go south to find more Red Capsules on the upside-down cart. Continue north past the house at the junction that belongs to the local doctor. A monster will attack you from a shed next to it. Exploring the house is completely optional, but you can find some collectibles along the way.

Doctor's House

The front door is locked, so go around and climb up using a ladder. Enter the house via an open window. The first room on the second floor has a motionless monster lying on a bed and a locked chest of drawers. The next room door will shut on you as you approach. Go downstairs.

New Game+ You will find an Old Medical Record (1) on a rocking chair in the bedroom. Local Doctor’s Note (5) is on a stool at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

You can find an Arare (⛩10) on a table in the living area and a Kudzu Tea (⛩100) in the kitchen. Examine the box on the table in the living area, then open the top-left drawer to find the Drawer Key.

New Game+ Local Doctor’s Note (3) is next to the telephone in the living room.

Go back to the bedroom upstairs to find that the dead monster is gone. Use the Drawer Key on the set of drawers in the room and pick up the Local Doctor’s Note (4).

Leave the room to find that the door to the next room is now open. Enter the room that looks like the doctor's office. On the wall to the left, there are claw marks that you can inspect. Check the drawer next to find Omamori [Pine].

Finally, on the desk, you can pick up a document titled Autopsy Report: Undetermined Cause of Death.

Nothing else to do here, so let's get out the way we came. On your way back to the open window, a monster will attack you coming from the bedroom. Climb back down and continue north via the main road. Check the next house's garden for a Bandage in a box on the porch to the left. Further north, go up the steps to the house, go around it and open a basket to find an Arare (⛩10).

Sennensugi Shrine

The path to the north will take you to the Sennensugi Shrine, but let's explore the northeast path first for some supplies. Grab a Steel Pipe on a barrel in a small area to the north. Continue going east, and as you pass the house, you will be ambushed by a lurking monster. You will find a Toolkit on a bench next to a house and Red Capsules in a basket at the dead end.

Return to the northern path and as you proceed, you will find the Sennensugi Shrine Flyer pinned to a tree.

As you approach the shrine, to the left you will find the Key to Sakuko’s Mailbox and a Letter from Sakuko’s Mother in front of the stone shrines.

To the right of the entrance to the shrine, you can get a Divine Water (⛩50). On the right side, you will also find an Antique Comb (⛩300) at one of the shrines and an Arare (⛩10) in a wooden box.

New Game+: Sacred Sword Puzzle A Rusted Flask is at a small shrine next to the Antique Comb. Go downhill to the crossroads and take the left turn. Enter the outdoor workshop area and find the second Jizo statue in its back. Interact with the statue to offer the Rusted Flask (2/5).

New Game++: Sacred Sword The Sacred Sword will be in place of the Rusted Flask left at this Jizo statue previously. You will need the sword for Ending 4.

With the collected key, you can now get back to Sakuko's house to collect a valuable item as well as get a trophy/achievement, but that will require getting all the way back across the town. Note that you will also be able to collect it much later in the game if you choose to skip it now. Backtrack all the way to the Chizuruya General Store, then head north to Sakuko's house, where you first met her. Open the residence's mailbox with the Key to Sakuko’s Mailbox to receive the Omamori [Spider] and a Letter from the Hospital.

Trophy/Achievement: A Federal Offense

Open the residence's mailbox with the key.

To the north, you can also find a Bandage at the alleyway corner. And in the western street, you can grab a Chocolate (⛩80) on the back of the blue truck blocking the road and Red Capsules on a low wall to the east of the truck.

Rice fields south

At the T-junction next to the doctor's house, enter the fields to proceed. Beware of some monster walking here that will continue to appear here, so don't waste too much time. Take the first right, and then right again. This will bring you back around to the overtuned cart, but you can collect a Chocolate (⛩80) from the box at the dead end.

Turn around and follow the path all the way to the east until you find a house in the fields. Go around the house to find a Letter to Home.

Go back, and another monster will already wait for you at the house's front. To the left of the entrance, there's a First Aid Kit. Take the path that runs northwest from the house, then continue going north and then east around another small building and then back to the house, where you can pick up a Dried Carcass (⛩200) at a dead end right behind it.

Turn around and go back north, west, north again and then east. You will be introduced to another combat tutorial. After the fight, approach another house, go right, move some wooden planks to get behind the house and collect a School Paper Cutout from the ground.

Go up to the north to get a major road between the fields.

Rice fields north

From the junction, go west and around a shed to collect a Yokan (⛩30) next to a water pump station. Go back to the T-junction and be careful as you pass another shed on the right, as a monster will plunge at you from inside. Grab a Chocolate (⛩80) in the shed after you're done with it. Follow the main path until you hit a dead end with some gross red pulsing mass. Drop into the yard to the right.

To the right, you will find a First Aid Kit on a hay bale and Red Capsules in a basket. In the southeastern corner, there's a Steel Pipe. To the north, you will find a locked door and a Toolkit to the left of it. Check the northern section of the yard to find a Ramune (⛩20) on a barrel and a Bandage in a box to the east. Now, locate a well in the yard. Hinako will find the key in a box placed on top of it, but a monster will rush into the yard, and the key will drop into the well.

Obtain the key

You will have to deal with this huge mini-boss to continue obtaining the key safely. Watch for its heavy swing attacks and retaliate then. Once the monster is down, run back to the well and press the button to pull the basket with the key inside. You need to do it three times to get the Storehouse Key.

Note that the monster cannot be killed, and it will be back on its feet after a short while, so be quick about it. Alternatively, instead of fighting, you can lure the monster into a far corner of the yard to give you enough time to turn the well's handle.

Escape through the storehouse

Go to the locked door and proceed inside using the key. Move the planks and run quickly for the open window to escape and reunite with Shu, as more monsters will be inside the storehouse.

Head to Rinko’s house with Shu

Turn around to collect Red Capsules and then go north up the slope onto the main path. At the western dead end, you will find an Inari Sushi (⛩150) inside a box. Go east to find a Hokora shrine and save your game. Check an area to the southeast to find a Bandage at the dead end, then cross a small canal into a yard to collect a Higashi (⛩80) in a red box and an Upgrade: Ema on a wooden trough (replaced with a Chocolate (⛩80) in New Game+ once picked).

Take the path leading north, and after a cutscene, you will be teleported to an unknown area.

Escape

To escape this new area, you will need to solve a puzzle.

Meet up with Shu

With the puzzle finished, go to Shu outside of Rinko’s house. After the cutscene, you will be transferred to the Dark Shrine world again.
