Is It Better to Join the Roshigumi or Choshu at Ejiri Post in Rise of the Ronin
Before making this choice, you’ll want to heed the advice and track down Takasugi andKusaka. The benefit of finding Takasugi is that it leads to a scripted event where youcatch a cheater in Odds & Evens.
With both saved from their respective situations, you can finally choose which side to follow into battle.
The simple answer is thatthis choice doesn’t make too much of a difference in what is to come. This is a mostly safe decision that won’t lock you into either side, but you should instead use it to inform future choices.
The mission layout slightly changes depending on your choice. It’s not a big change, and both maps are straight shots where you can just sprint right to the end. Either way, you end up in a boss fight against Kamezo Iwata and Tsurunosuke Tachiki.
There is a bit of joking after the fight between the leaders of the two factions, but that doesn’t change anything. It’s important to know that this isn’t your final choice of chapter two. There’s still a bit to go, especially once you get to Kyoto and a new map opens up to explore.
Hopefully, this helps you make your choice between theChoshu and the RoshigumiinRise of the Ronina little easier. If you’re ever unsure what to do in the story and we haven’t covered it yet, be sure to ask us in the comments.
