The Seirinji Temple Kuji-Kiri involves completing a sequence of quick-time events. When you initiate the Kuji-Kiri, four circles will appear on your screen, each displaying different inputs depending on your controller or keyboard. Your objective is to press the buttons in the correct sequence until the Kuji-Kiri is complete. Here’s the sequence for this Kuji-Kiri:

  • Top > Right > Bottom > Left+Right

As you progress, the tempo gradually increases, making the sequence more challenging. Additionally, the button indicators will start disappearing, requiring you to rely on rhythm and memory to complete the Kuji-Kiri. If you prefer a simpler experience, you can enable Auto Mode for quick-time events. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Options > Gameplay > Quick Time Events > Auto

Activating Auto Mode won’t affect the story, and you still obtain achievements and trophies related to Kuji-Kiri.

Seirinji Temple Kuji-Kiri Rewards
