Unlocking "Something to Show the World" in Rise of the Ronin 🎮

Hey there, gamers! 🌟 Today, we’re diving into an exciting Bond Mission in Rise of the Ronin called “Something to Show the World.” If you want to succeed in the Edo section of the game, this mission is a must! Let's break everything down step-by-step so you can enjoy the journey and impress your friends.

1. Mission Introduction

First off, "Something to Show the World" unlocks once you’re in the Edo area, and you should be around level 25 to tackle this challenge. The goal is to help a character named Eiichi Shibusawa. But before you begin, there’s a prerequisite: you need to chat with Katsu Kaishu during the “Looking Ahead” Main Mission. Once you’ve done that, you’re all set!

2. Getting Started

Location: Southeastern Kojimachi, Edo

To kick off your mission, you’ll head to the Kojimachi area. When you arrive, find Shibusawa and engage in a brief conversation. The good news is—you can select any dialogue option. They won’t impact the mission much. What matters is that Shibusawa is looking for help to get his hands on some Satsuma pottery to promote Japanese goods in the West.

When you're ready to take action, make sure to choose “Leave it to me.” This will start the mission officially!

3. Visiting the Satsuma Clan's Estate

Your next stop is the Satsuma clan's Edo estate, which is located in the southeastern part of Shiba. When you arrive, speak to the guards at the gate again—feel free to pick any conversation choice. Once you’re ready to kick off this part of the mission, select “I’m ready.”

4. Meeting the Satsuma Leaders

Once you’re inside the estate, you’ll have a quick chat with Kitotaka Kuroda and Toshimichi Okubo. Again, you can pick any conversation option. However, when you want to make progress, choose “I have a favor to ask.”

Here’s where it gets interesting—before the Satsuma people can help Shibusawa, they want to see your fighting skills! If you have a skill called Speechcraft: Intimidate, you can boost your Bond with Okubo by saying, “I defeated the Blue Demon, remember?” Otherwise, just take on the challenge by declaring, “I’ll take you all on.”

5. The Fight! 🥋

Regardless of your choice, you’ll find yourself in a fight against Okubo and a couple of his retainers. Here are some tips for the battle:

- Okubo fights slowly but has powerful unblockable attacks. You can counter or dodge them with good timing.

- Stay close to him and look for opportunities to attack!

- Use Counterspark techniques against his delays and unblockable strikes, and punish him quickly when you dodge an attack.

- If you deal a Critical Hit, you’ll be closer to winning the battle!

Once you’re victorious, enjoy a brief conversation with Okubo, Kuroda, and Princess Atsuko. You can select any dialogue options here too. Just remember, the princess will ask you to join the Satsuma, but you should decline. Good news, she will agree to help Shibusawa with the pottery! 🎉

6. Mission Complete!

And that’s it! Your mission “Something to Show the World” will be over, and you’ll have strengthened your Bonds with Shibusawa and Kuroda.

Conclusion

There you have it! A detailed walkthrough of the “Something to Show the World” mission in Rise of the Ronin. Now you’re ready to tackle this challenge with confidence. Good luck, and enjoy your adventure! 🌍💪
