All 23 Genma Records — Locations and How to Open Each Chest
Published 2026-09-12Updated 2026-09-188 min read
Every Genma Record in Onimusha: Way of the Sword: how the Oni Power chests work and all 23 locations, from Hitotsume Gasa to the post-game Yoshitsune note.
Genma Records are the game's collectible bestiary: 23 in total, and collecting them all unlocks the Genma-ologist trophy.
How They Work
Every Record sits in a hidden chest that only opens with Oni Power. The routine for nearly all of them: activate Oni Vision to reveal the Oni marker, then unleash Oni Power at the spot to manifest the chest.
Two skills make the hunt dramatically easier — unlock them first:
- Oni Vision: Treasure (and its second tier)
- Oni Vision Search Range
And build the habit: hold L2/LT, tap R2/RT to sweep every new room.
Note: Oni Armaments do not carry into New Game+.
All 23 Records
| # | Record | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hitotsume Gasa | West of the Higashioji Street mirror; manifest the chest with Oni Power |
| 2 | Kubi Akari | South of the Kamo River east mirror |
| 3 | Togemaru | Kyoto, garden west of the Yorimasa monument |
| 4 | Kogai | Inside the house north of the Gojo Street west mirror |
| 5 | Kogashira | Underground Laboratory B3, near the grand theater mirror |
| 6 | Oboro Garasu | Mount Oe valley: don't cross the bridge — drop down, wall-run to the platform |
| 7 | Mohja | Arashiyama temple area, south of the mountain path, past the blast-opened door |
| 8 | Chijiko | Underground Laboratory B2 |
| 9 | Hirehime | Mount Oe valley lower level, near the water |
| 10 | Hitotsume Sho | Kiyomizu-dera, inside the dojo at the map's northern tip |
| 11 | Byakue | Kiyomizu-zaka, on the rooftops due north of the mirror |
| 12 | Dohatsu-ten | Gojo Street east, the open field where you first fight it |
| 13 | Nue | North of the Nue Pond mirror — your first Nue arena |
| 14 | Daidara | Oni Hideout, courtyard due north of the shrine-ground mirror |
| 15 | Shuten Doji | Mount Oe, outside the boss building east of the mountain-path mirror |
| 16 | Rasho Gan | The courtyard beside the Higashioji Street mirror — its own fight arena |
| 17 | Sasaki Ganryu | The room where you duel him beneath Kiyomizu-dera |
| 18 | Benkei | Kyoto, on the bridge of your first Benkei fight |
| 19 | Greater Nue | North of the pond-garden mirror — the first Great Nue arena |
| 20 | Dokyo | Arashiyama, just past Hozu gorge — the first Dokiyo arena |
| 21 | Ifuu | Kyoto, the open field of its first fight |
| 22 | Burai | Kyoto, the open field of its first fight |
| 23 | Yoshitsune | Post-game: after beating him, reload and return to the well behind Rokudochinno-ji. Oni Vision marks the spot; Oni Power opens the final chest |
The pattern worth noticing: most boss Records spawn in the exact arena where you first fought them. If you remember where a fight happened, you already know where its chest is.
