More than 60 hours later Rise of the Ronin I haven’t discovered everything that Team Ninja’s latest open-world samurai adventure has to offer.Now, besides all the cats to collect and fugitives to kill, there’s another secret with Nioh I just met it.That’s right: William Adams, protagonist Niohlurking in Rise of the Ronin. Here are the details, including where and how to find the Blue-Eyed Samurai.
On March 31, the PlayStation UK X/Twitter account revealed what I suspected the game would be: the protagonist of William Adams first Nioh The first non-Japanese samurai was in Rise of the Ronin. Well, not really.since Nioh occurred hundreds of years before the event Rise of the Roninwhere he is called the “Blue-Eyed Samurai”, reminiscent of Excellent Netflix animation Have very similar names. Anyway, William – I mean the blue-eyed samurai – has a small role here, just a sub-boss encounter in the open-world photography event, but it’s well worth fighting him.
You can find him in Edo Shiba Prefecture, Japan’s second largest city Rise of the Ronin. If you open the minimap and head to Zhiwan, you will notice a photo target called “Zhiwan View”. You don’t have to complete this activity, but taking a quick photo of the waterfront will provide you with silver coins to purchase additional Intelligence skill points. To the left of the photo location is a small alcove, the entrance lit by a faint firelight. Hang out there.
The rest of the way is blocked by a crude wooden barricade, which you can destroy with a bomb or gun by blowing up the fire barrel ahead. Once you’re in, take the only left at the end of the short, narrow path, and William – the damn blue-eyed warrior – will be standing there, waiting for you to try him. You have to give him a try, as this isn’t the kind of encounter where there’s a bit of dialogue before the blade is inevitably soaked in blood.He gets angry as soon as he spots you, but it’s not a particularly difficult fight, especially if you’ve already played Nioh. His moves are the same standard attack pattern you’d see wielding a katana in Team Ninja’s 2017 Japanese version of Soulslike, so the familiarity should make combat more manageable. Anyway, let him out first.
After the battle, you’ll get some pretty cool rewards.The first is a suit of armor themed after Yasuke, the first black samurai whose name is the title Another great Netflix anime. Then comes the real prize, Nioh-style fighting style. The same swordsmanship as the Blue-Eyed Samurai, NiohWilliam Adams, for using it, was great. See, there are four main types of fighting styles, with countless fighting styles encompassed within them. Rise of the Ronin Divided into: Ten, Qi, Metal, and Forbearance. Each of the four weapons is strong against certain weapon types and weak against others, but Gold has the most well-rounded fighting style of the bunch, as it’s effective against sabers and other light weapons. Nioh-ryu is a fighting style based on Jin, which means that since most enemies Rise of the Ronin Using a katana or saber will basically always do more damage. Of course, there are a handful of enemies with other fighting styles that are effective against Jin-based fighting styles, but even so, because Jin is so versatile, it can still cut through even the heaviest of weapons, such as clubs and otachi.
I love little details like these optional objectives that tie the studio’s games together in a way that’s fun and totally unmissable if you don’t know where to look.The good thing is Rise of the Ronin It’s that if you happen to miss anything in the game, there’s a feature that lets you replay entire areas and entire missions for completely different results. So if you want to see what would happen if you rescued an anti-shogunate official instead of killing them, you can bend time to see what happens. Unfortunately, once you disgrace the blue-eyed warrior, he’s dead forever.
