How to pass time in Rise of the Ronin

You can pass time in Rise of the Ronin to participate in certain quests that must be completed within a specific timeframe. In this role-playing game (RPG), several missions are only available during the day or night. For example, fugitive-hunting side quests are mostly time-sensitive and usually only appear at night. Hence, if you are looking to change the timeframe in the game quickly, you can choose to pass time in Rise of the Ronin.

The game features a mechanic that allows you to skip time without manually waiting for the day to change. To pass time in Rise of the Ronin, you must unlock this feature by completing the Follow Your Blade Twin main-story mission. This article discusses how you can use this feature to change timeframes easily.

Ways to pass time in Rise of the Ronin

As mentioned, you must complete the Follow Your Blade Twin mission to unlock this feature. You have to go to the Pleasure District and interact with Taka Murayama. Once your conversation with her ends, Ryoma will insist on meeting him outside of the Yokohama Longhouse.

This Longhouse will work as your safehold where you can redecorate your weapons and armor, customize your character, and provide you with features to pass the time. More Longhouses (safehouses) will be unlocked later on around the map, providing the same features.

There are two ways to change the time in the title.

Resting at Longhouses
