The four rituals

Next, accompany Oichi on land. If you want to listen to her Dragon King story without distraction, choose the auto-follow option. From here, she'll ask you to do a few rituals before interacting with her again. There are four rituals, which you can complete in any order.

The first ritual will be where the Lady first takes our leave. Pray in front of the Torii gate by holding Triangle/Y. From there, climb up the stairs. The next two rituals will be on the opposite sides here.

Head north to find a modest white-painted house. Interact with the Shinto Priest standing at its gate and he'll give you a gift. It will be a legendary Amulet called Amaterasu's Blessing. Next, follow the objective marker to meet Lady Oichi. She'll be in front of the Shrine.

The final conversation with Oichi in A Prayer For Omi main quest (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Ubisoft)

After you both pray inside it, you'll have a conversation with Oichi outside. Use the auto-follow feature again if you want to focus on the conversation. Near the end, you'll be presented with a few choices:

• I would celebrate what time remained.
• I would prepare for the battle.
• I would spend my last night with you – Romance opportunity
