Rise of the Ronin All Hidden Boss Locations (Map)

Rise of the Ronin contains many secrets waiting to be discovered, and that includes secret bosses that gave me valuable rewards after defeating them. Here are all of the hidden boss locations in Rise of the Ronin!

Where to find all hidden bosses in Rise of the Ronin

There are nine hidden bosses hidden across the world of Rise of the Ronin, equally distributed across three cities. After defeating each boss, you'll be able to open the chest hidden in their arena and collect an item giving you four skill points.

Not all bosses will be available straight from the get-go, as you'll need to unlock both Edo and Kyoto along with Yokohama. Defeating all bosses will give you the rare Seven Military Classics gear.

Yokohama

Maita

Travel to the leftmost Veiled Edge Banner located next to a house at the end of the wooden bridge. Drop down using a glider and turn towards the house. Explore the area around the giant stone elevation until you see a cave underneath a tree with a rope ribbon. Drop down into the cave to find the boss.

Shibo

Travel to the Shibo region and explore the forest area northwest of the lake. Look for the orange autumn tree with a rope ribbon tied around it. Go above the tree to find a large tree with a larger oversized rope ribbon and jump into the cave in front of it.
