Fluorites are the primary hidden collectible in Onimusha: Warlords. There are exactly 20 scattered throughout the game, and finding all of them unlocks bonus content including gallery images and, most importantly, access to the ultimate weapon path. For completionists, they are the central collectible goal of the game.
Fluorites are easy to miss because they blend into the pre-rendered environments and the fixed camera angles often obscure them. Many sit at the edges of the screen, behind objects, or in rooms you might rush through during the story. The game gives no in-world marker or tracker beyond a count in your inventory, so disciplined exploration is essential.
Collecting all 20 Fluorites is also tied to S Rank requirements on certain stages and to unlocking the Bishamon Sword. If you want the true complete ending experience, you need every single one. This guide breaks down their locations by area so you can grab them as you progress.
- Total Fluorites: 20
- Found in fixed locations across the campaign
- Required for Bishamon Sword unlock
- Counted toward S Rank on each stage
- No respawn -- miss them and you must reload
Some Fluorites are in areas you cannot easily revisit, so always check your count before advancing past major story milestones. If you miss one, the only way to get it is to reload an earlier save.

Fluorite Locations: Early Game Areas
The first batch of Fluorites appears in the opening areas of Inabayama Castle and its surroundings. These are the ones you should grab during your first hours of play, as some become inaccessible once you progress past certain story triggers.
In the castle entrance area, check along the walls and behind pillars. Several Fluorites sit in plain sight but are easy to walk past because the camera angle hides them behind foreground objects. Examine every corner of each room before moving on.
In the underground passages, Fluorites tend to be placed near dead ends and side rooms. The fixed camera makes it hard to see the floor clearly, so move slowly and watch for the glint of the collectible. If you see a side path that seems optional, explore it fully.
The Keep area contains several Fluorites on different floors. Check behind furniture, in alcoves, and near save points. One notorious Fluorite is hidden behind a decorative screen that you must examine specifically to trigger the pickup.
| Area | Fluorites |
|---|---|
| Castle entrance | 2-3 |
| Underground passages | 2-3 |
| Keep (lower floors) | 3-4 |
| East and west wings | 2-3 |
By the end of the early game, you should have roughly 10 to 12 Fluorites. If your count is lower, backtrack and re-examine rooms before triggering the mid-game story events that lock certain areas.
Fluorite Locations: Mid and Late Game Areas
The remaining Fluorites are spread across the mid and late game areas, including the deeper portions of the Keep, the Dark Realm entrance area, and the final zones leading to the climactic confrontation. These are the trickiest to find because the environments become more complex and enemy encounters more intense.
In the upper Keep floors, check behind breakable objects and in rooms that require puzzle solutions to access. Some Fluorites are rewards for solving optional puzzles or reaching hidden areas through backtracking with newly acquired key items. Always return to previously locked doors after finding new keys.
The final area contains the last few Fluorites, and these are the most commonly missed because players tend to rush toward the climax. Take your time, examine every room, and check your count before entering the final boss arena. Once you pass the point of no return, you cannot return for missed collectibles.
For reference, here is a checklist approach for the remaining Fluorites:
- Upper Keep: check behind furniture and screens
- Puzzle rooms: solve optional puzzles for hidden Fluorites
- Backtrack with new keys to previously locked areas
- Dark Realm entrance: check the surrounding rooms
- Final area: examine every room before the boss
- Confirm count of 20 before the point of no return
If you finish the game with fewer than 20, start a New Game Plus and use this guide to collect the ones you missed. In NG+ you can rush through the story quickly since you carry over your upgrades, making cleanup efficient.
