As you descend the mountain, you'll see him watching you from an overlook. If you approach Sundown near Hasshe's house, he'll walk away without a word. Once your party leader defeats him, he will realize you are not like the monsters of the forest and offer to join you.

Attempt to read the sign just before Archon's Roost and Oboromaru will drop from the trees and attack. OboromaruĪs you might expect, the shinobi is hidden from view. The Earthen Heart Master will join your party without too much fuss, but be sure to collect the sword Brion from Hasshe's gravestone while you're at the mountaintop, as you'll need it to enter Archon's Roost. If you were able to conserve damage items like Dynamite and Bottled Fire during Sundown's boss fight, they'll make a welcome addition to your starting arsenal as well. Luckily, from his starting position he can team up with the Earthen Heart Master almost immediately to create a combined threat that will see you through the early parts of the chapter. He's good in most situations but not fantastic in any.

Sundown is the game's best ranged combatant, but he's tactically inflexible.

Starting location: Next to Hasshe's house.

If you choose him, gather herbs in the forest immediately to stock up on recovery items.

Oboromaru may struggle to keep his HP up at first, as he's comparatively fragile and likely short on healing items after his chapter. If you completed his chapter without unnecessary violence he'll have some great equipment to start with, especially if you got the hidden Lacquered Medicine Box. Oboromaru is built to handle any number of opponents, with many elemental abilities at his disposal. Starting location: In front of the entrance to Archon's Roost.
