Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After stocking up at Muramasa's Statue, exit to the River of Blood - First Area.
  2. 2
    An ambush of Centaurs will occur. Stay near the doorway, block their attacks, and strike their backs when they turn to stun them. Use 2-3 combos to defeat them and their leftover Essence for Ultimate Techniques.
  3. 3
    Eliminate all Centaurs to clear the area and proceed through the opposite doorway to a Save Statue.
  4. 4
    If needed, return to Muramasa's Statue for supplies before proceeding through the next doorway.
  5. 5
    Enter the River of Blood - Second Area. Use Water Run to cross the river.
  6. 6
    Large red fish will appear. You can either dodge them or shoot them with the Gatling Gun. Killing all 10-12 fish is recommended.
  7. 7
    After clearing the fish, approach the stairway on the other side. Loot the goodies on the left and right sides of the large doorway.
  8. 8
    It's advisable to return to Muramasa's Statue to stock up and then use the Save Statue to avoid refighting the fish.
  9. 9
    Enter the large doorway to face Genshin.
  10. 10
    BOSS BATTLE: GENSHIN - PART FOUR

  12. 12
    Upon defeating Genshin, Ryu receives the Blade of the Archfiend, which combines with the True Dragon Sword.
  13. 13
    Immediately after, prepare for the next boss battle.
  14. 14
    BOSS BATTLE: ELIZEBET - PART TWO
  15. 15
    This fight is similar to the previous encounter, but Elizebet has more endurance. Stay close, bait her into one-on-one combat, block and evade her combos, and counter with Blade of the Archfiend combos.
  16. 16
    ELIZEBET GLITCH NOTE: If Elizebet uses her Blood Swirl attack and catches Ryu, the game may freeze, requiring a reload and a refight of Genshin.
  17. 17
    After defeating Elizebet, pick up the HEART OF CRIMSON BLOOD item and use the portal.
  18. 18
    Enter the Gateway of Judgement. Open the chest behind Ryu and stock up at Muramasa's Statue.
  19. 19
    Save your game at the Save Statue. There is no turning back after this point.
  20. 20
    Enter the large black doorway to face Van Gelfs. Eliminate them with your new weapon.
  21. 21
    Approach the door at the end of the pathway to trigger a tough boss battle.
Tips
  • When fighting Centaurs, staying near the doorway and letting them come to you is safer than chasing them.
  • Utilize the leftover Essence for Ultimate Techniques after stunning enemies.
  • For the red fish in the second area, engaging them directly with the Gatling Gun is more efficient than trying to evade them.
  • Save your game after the Elizebet fight and before proceeding to the Gateway of Judgement to avoid replaying earlier sections if you fail the upcoming boss.
  • The Blade of the Archfiend is effective against the Van Gelfs.
  • Blade of the Archfiend (new weapon)
  • Heart of Crimson Blood (key item)
