Complete Walkthrough

Proceed

We are back in the Dark Shrine for one final time. Head north through a twisting path until you arrive at a shrine with the red doll. You can approach the doll for Hinako's commentary and collect some items here: a Bandage from the steps, a Crowbar next to the right column and a Yokan (⛩30) at the right edge.

Continue north, and you will reach an area in front of the gates where the blue flames will surround you, and you will have to defeat multiple monsters to proceed. At the north edge of the arena, you will find more supplies: a Divine Water (⛩50) and a Toolkit to the left and an Arare (⛩10) and a Kudzu Tea (⛩100) to the right. Proceed through the gates.

Go ahead until you arrive at another arena. Defeat the monster and grab the items: a First Aid Kit and a Toolkit on the left side, a Bandage and a Sledgehammer on the right side. Continue north to find Red Capsules on the ground on your way. Proceed through the gates. In the next room, you will find a hokora shrine and more supplies: a Bandage and a Divine Water (⛩50) to the left, an Arare (⛩10), a Dried Carcass (⛩200) and an Antique Comb (⛩300) to the right. An Upgrade: Ema is also sometimes present in this room – it may depend on whether you collected all available emas during your playthrough or skipped some.

Go ahead through the gates. More Red Capsules on the ground in front of the next set of gates. Proceed through the gates to arrive at a garden. Here you will find a Kitchen Knife, a Bandage and a First Aid Kit by the statue with the red doll to the left. There's also an Axe stuck in a tree. On the stone to the right, you will find another First Aid Kit, a Higashi (⛩80) and a Toolkit. Finally, next to the next gates you will find a Hokora shrine. This is the last Hokora, so save your game and make your final preparations, such as character stat upgrades and shrine omamori pulls.

Go ahead through the final stretch. Step inside the ritual chamber from the Treasure Hall to watch a cutscene and meet the final boss of the game.

Trophy/Achievement: The Bird that Flies Highest

Escape from the Dark Shrine

After defeating the Shiromuku, you’ll need to flee from the Dark Shrine. Follow the path lined with Red Capsules, which you no longer need. You will pass through different areas, shifting between the Fog World and Dark Shrine, until you eventually arrive at the end and watch the ending scene.

There's only one ending you can get during your first playthrough, but there are four more that can be achieved during the New Game+. Your final boss will also depend on the ending that you are locked in.
