Acquire the Pocketwatch from Ryoma before he departs, a useful tool for changing the time of day.

Next, make your way to the photographic studio in the Honcho district. Deal with the magistrate’s officials using persuasion skills or combat prowess. Inside, meet Igashichi Iizuka and agree to assist him at Maita Castle.

Step 7: Infiltrating the Consulate

To advance the main quest, speak with either Kogoro or Taka, who will assist in infiltrating the consulate. Begin The Plot to Assassinate Harris mission, completing it before proceeding further in the Follow Your Blade Twin quest.

Confronting Your Blade Twin in Rise of the Ronin

After successfully completing The Plot to Assassinate Harris, a dramatic encounter with your Blade Twin awaits. Engage in a fierce battle, adapting your combat style to match the boss’s attacks.

Here is the breakdown to Your Blade Twin’s attacks:

Attack	Description
Overhead Chop	Quick and powerful downward chop with the katana.
Explosive Cannon	Swap to a saber and blast a large energy burst from the elbow.
Explosive Grab	Crouch low, dash forward, grab, and explode arm cannon at close range.
Demon Claw Spin	Dash forward with katana slash, then spin with detached claw for multiple hits.
Triple Thrust	Thrust twice with sword, followed by a delayed third stab.
Rocket Dash	Slice past with explosion-propelled Demon Claw, then spinning combo with katana.
Demon Claw Pull	Launch Demon Claw as grappling hook, then follow-up strike with saber.
Demon Claw Leap	Shoot Demon Claw to pull up and attempt a falling attack from above.
Saber Slash Combo	Launch into a long combo starting with three slashes, followed by jump slash and final slice with saber.

Watch out for the Blade Twin’s grappling attacks as they’re tough to block. Dodge instead of trying to block them. As the fight progresses, the boss might change their tactics, so stay alert and adapt your strategy.

During the battle, deal with other threats like the shooter above the ballroom. Use ranged weapons to take them out first, so you can focus on the Blade Twin. You can’t kill your sibling, but emptying their health bar ends the fight.
