Developing Technology in Rise of the Ronin

First, the ability to develop technology is not available at the early stages of the game. Only by completing the main story mission, Locating the Camera, will things be set in motion. It is here that players will meet Igashichi Iizuka, the inventor who will be responsible for much of the heavy lifting. After the story progresses, players will be introduced to the Photographic Studio, where Igashichi will also be located.

Speak to the inventor, and the option to develop technology will appear. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Throughout your adventures, you will come into possession of the key item known as Foreign Books. By turning these into Igashichi, he will be able to develop more complicated technology using money. In addition, the better your bond level with him is, the deeper you can venture into the technology tree.

Some of the developments will improve or create new gear, such as the Detector, Glider, and Fire Pipe. This can allow players to fly faster, assassinate enemies while gliding or even allow for underwater photography. Just be sure to have enough cash as well as a good relationship with Igashichi to open up these options.
