About Rise of the Ronin Wiki

Welcome to Rise of the Ronin Wiki

Rise of the Ronin Wiki is an independent, fan-made community resource dedicated to Rise of the Ronin, Team NINJA’s open-world samurai action RPG set during Japan’s Bakumatsu period. Whether you are a brand-new ronin taking your first steps in Yokohama or a seasoned veteran hunting every fugitive, hidden boss, and treasure chest across Edo and Kyoto, our goal is to be the most complete and up-to-date reference for everything Rise of the Ronin.

What We Cover

Our wiki spans the full breadth of the Rise of the Ronin experience:

• Guides — beginner onboarding, chapter walkthroughs, difficulty settings, Blade Sharpening Origins, how to reach each ending, game length, and the fastest route to the Platinum trophy.
• Weapons — every weapon type ranked in a tier list, plus Combat Styles, gear rarity, set bonuses, katana styles, and the best blades and builds for your playstyle.
• Characters — the Blade Twin, bonds and Veiled Vows romance options, factions, and historical figures like Ryoma Sakamoto, Kogoro Katsura, and Shinsaku Takasugi.
• Maps — all 100 cats, 91 fugitives, 113 treasure chests, and every hidden boss location across Yokohama, Edo, and Kyoto.
• Performance — PC system requirements, FPS unlock tweaks, graphics settings, crash and stutter fixes, and curated performance mods.
• Platforms — Steam PC release details, PS5 and PS Plus co-op requirements, Steam Deck performance, and the latest on any Xbox port.
• Reviews — Metacritic scores, critic and player feedback, PS5 and PC impressions, and whether Rise of the Ronin is a Soulslike worth your time.
• Community — how to share character creation codes, find co-op crews, troubleshoot gameplay issues, and follow patch notes and trailer reactions.

Our Vision

We believe a great game deserves a great community hub. Our vision is to centralize the scattered knowledge shared across Steam guides, Discord, Reddit, and YouTube into one accurate, searchable, and genuinely useful wiki — so players spend less time hunting for answers and more time mastering the Bakumatsu.

Community-Driven

Rise of the Ronin Wiki is built by fans, for fans. Every guide is informed by real player experiences, community reports, and the contributions of ronin who live and breathe the combat system, the Bond Missions, and the collectible grind. If you have spotted a faster farming route, a missing treasure chest, or a better weapon build, you are exactly the kind of contributor this wiki is made for.

About the Team

This wiki is maintained by an independent group of action-RPG enthusiasts and content writers. We are not game developers — we are players who love Team NINJA’s combat and the samurai genre and want to document it well. We monitor community channels continuously to keep our weapon tier lists, map guides, and walkthroughs current as the game evolves across patches and platforms.
