Onimusha: Way of the Sword

How to save your progress

Save your progress at a Spirit Mirror. Game8’s illustrated walkthrough shows the mirror beside Okuni at the start of the Kiyomizu-dera chapter and identifies it as a place to save. This concerns Onimusha: Way of the Sword, not the earlier Onimusha games.

We have not verified PC-specific buttons or automatic-save timing. Use the controls shown on your own screen rather than assuming that touching the mirror alone saved your progress.

1. Find a Spirit Mirror in the area.
2. Approach it and use the controls shown on your own screen.
3. If a save destination or overwrite prompt appears, check it before continuing.
4. Wait until saving finishes before closing the game.

Saving in the game and copying PC save files as a backup are different tasks. A file backup is a precaution before changing settings or files; it is not a substitute for saving your current progress in the game.

Save and settings locations

Save data

We have not independently verified the PC save-file path for this English guide. Do not guess a save folder or treat shader caches as saved progress. Back up confirmed save files before making any save-related changes.

Settings files

Use Steam → Library → right-click the game → Manage → Browse local files to open the actual installation. The library placeholder above is not a path to paste into Run. Copy config.ini before editing it.
