The Rise of the Ronin– The Stolen Statue side quest is one of the many side quests featuring options that have dire consequences. The Tenjin figurine has been stolen from the Okamura Tenmangu Shrine, and its head priest asks you to find it. The thief in question has good intentions, but it’s up to you to decide his fate.

Beginning of the Rise of the Ronin- The Stolen Statue Side Quest
To begin the Rise of the Ronin– The Stolen Statue side quest, find the Okamura Tenmangu Shrine in Nakamura. The Shrine is a beautiful red building on top of a hill, rising above the surrounding trees. Right past the entrance of the Shrine is the head priest, who will give you the side quest.
He tells you that a precious wooden figurine of Tenjin was stolen and he believes he knows who the culprit is. He claims that he is too weak to retrieve it himself and asks you if you can retrieve it for him. You have three dialogue options.
- “Leave it to me.”
- “Sorry, but I can’t help right now.”
- “What kind of figurine is it?”
Select “Leave it to me” to begin the quest.
Defeat the Brigands In Rise Of The Ronin
The head priest tells you about the thief and that the best time to apprehend him is at night. Your new objective is to head to the brigands’ base to find the thief. The location will appear on your map. It isn’t too far, so you can choose to walk or call your horse and ride there.
There, you will be met by various opponents, sword-wielders, archers, and dogs. You must defeat all six of them, but how you choose to take them down is entirely up to you. You can face them head-on or choose the stealthy option and sneak through tall grass and onto roofs.
If you choose to fight, you must dodge swords and flaming arrows as you take down your enemies. Looting the bodies gives you a mix of items such as Ronin Gauntlets, Seabreeze Footwear, Shuriken, Hide Gauntlets, Wandering Samurai’s Kimono, and more.
Decide the Thief’s Fate In Rise Of The Ronan
Once you have defeated all six brigands, your new objective is to talk to the man who stole the statue. He’ll try to leave and you have two dialogue options.
- “Wait. Why did you steal the figure?”
- “The priest sent me. You’re not leaving.”
No matter which option you pick, the man will begin explaining why he stole the figurine. The man comes from a poor village ravaged by disease and no one would help him. He took it upon himself to steal the figurine to give comfort to those who were dying. The thief asks if you’ll help him and you have three dialogue options, each with very different outcomes.
- “I’m sorry, but I can’t let you go.”
- “Alright. I’ll let you go. “
- “The priest will help you. Have faith.” (Needs speechcraft “persuade”)
If you select the first choice, the man refuses to give up without a fight and your new objective will be to defeat him and take back the statue. In this option, the man dies but the head priest agrees to speak to His Excellency and send aid to the village.
If you select the second option, the man gets to leave but the figurine is not returned to the head priest.
The third option is the best one, but you can only select it if you’ve learned the speechcraft “persuade”. The man will give you the statue without a fight, which you can return to the head priest who agrees to try to send aid to the village.
Rewards for the Rise of the Ronin- The Stolen Statue Side Quest
Two of the three options lead to you returning to the head priest and giving him the statue. Rewards for finishing the Rise of the Ronin- The Stolen Statue side quest are Monk’s Robe, Faded Scroll (Tree), Flaming Whetstone, and a Sceptre.
