While looking to pass time in Rise of the Ronin players can simultaneously work towards increasing their bond with Sakamoto. To do this, acquiring as many Western luxury products and strong liquors as possible is critical. Taking Ryoma with you on Ronin missions and supporting him on Bond missions are both critical. Finally, you may practice alongside him in the Dojo to forge a stronger bond.

Ryoma Sakamoto likes to embrace foreign cultures and has a keen interest in Western fashion, confectionaries, and liquor. Therefore, these are some great gift options for him:

• Premium Whiskey
• Milk Chocolate
• European Dandy's Kit
• Imported Beer
• Knot of Destiny

Ryoma Sakamoto is a member of the anti-shogunate group; therefore, you may find him at the Sakura Inn in Bashamichi, Yokohama, during Chapter 1. During the conclusion of Chapter 1, you will stay with him and the other anti-shogunate expulsionists in Saihoji Temple in Edo.

Ryoma spends a brief length of time in the Choshu Clan Villa in Azabu, Edo, toward the beginning of Chapter 2. When he chooses to restore the shogunate later in Chapter 2, you can meet him at Kaishu Katsu's Estate in Akasaka, Edo.

Similar to the tips for raising bond levels in general, you can also raise Ryoma Sakamoto's bond level by making sure he visits your longhouse where you have placed Western accessories to impress him. Luxuries that can raise the bond level are listed below:

• Miniature Automobile: For people who like Western items.
• Snake-Eyed Umbrella: For people who like cosmetics and fashion.
• Spiral Umbrella: For people who like cosmetics and fashion.
• Tea Basket: For people who like confectionery.
