Kuji-kiri #3

The third location awaits you at the Rolling Glen, along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka. This spot is crucial for piecing together more of Naoe's past.

Kuji-kiri #4

The final Kuji-kiri is situated far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach just southeast of Nakayama Peak. This last location completes the cycle of Naoe's healing journey.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri
