The Stage is Set at Kiyomizu清水寺鬼舞台

Musashi heads to Kiyomizu-dera Temple at Ono no Takamura's request. Apparently, it's one of the key sanctuaries that must be purified in order to strengthen the Oni Gate—and it's under attack by Genma.

Where it starts on the map

After clearing

En route to Kiyomizu-dera, Musashi meets someone else with an Oni gauntlet: Ganryu. It seems he met a white-haired man in hell who set him to stealing souls. Upon purifying the temple, Musashi's own gauntlet produces a strange woman, of all things.

MusashiAlright. Let's purify this place and see if that won't wake up Gauntlet Lady.篭手の女に起きてもらう。そのためには この寺を浄化するしかねぇ…か
MusashiWhat's all that noise?騒がしいな…
GatekeeperThe gate must hold! If they get through, all is lost!門を守るんだ! ここを破られるわけには…!
MusashiThey're smarter than I thought...幻魔が、城攻めのつもりかよ…
MusashiHey! I dealt with the monsters! Let me through.おい、バケモンは全部片づけたぞ。通してくれ
GatekeeperThank you, thank you!
We'll unblock the gate right away.
ああ、感謝いたします、お侍様…。しばしお待ちください
MusashiIf the entrance is this bad...the inside must be a mess.初っ端からこの有り様かよ…。先が思いやられるな
MusashiThe Malice is thickest over there.
Now...how do I get there?
瘴気が濃いのは…あの高台か どうやって行きゃいいんだ…?
MusashiWon't get through there. Is there another way?こっちは駄目か…。他に道は…
MusashiWhat's that...?なんだ…?
MusashiThe gauntlet...what's it doing...!?篭手が…勝手に…!
MusashiIt's...trying to tell me something?篭手が…。 俺にどうしろってんだ?

GatekeeperThank you, Samurai.助かりました
GatekeeperIf those...things had broken through the gate, none of
the people taking refuge here would have had a chance.
あのまま門を破られていたら、 ここに逃げ込んだ者たちも皆殺しにされていたことでしょう
GatekeeperIt's horrible...the temple grounds are just a killing field full of monsters.もはや境内は、人の命を弄ぶ化け物どもの巣窟…
GatekeeperHow can this happen?
This is a temple! It's blasphemy!
このような非道… 御仏がお許しになるはずがありません
