How to get a horse in Rise of the Ronin
In order to get a horse in Rise of the Ronin, you’ll need to defeat the five thugs in the small village in the northernmost village Honmoku. To do this easily, we recommend using the bushes surrounding the village and going in for some one-shot takedowns.
Simply creep up to your unsuspecting enemies and deliver a deadly sneak attack, before slinking back off into the shadows. Once you’ve taken down all five enemies, a short cutscene will play, notifying you that Public Order has been restored.
Interact with the Veiled Edge Banner to recover your health and activate the fast travel point to the village. You also gain a free skill point as well, so be sure to light the banner. Once you’ve activated the Veild Edge Banner, head up the path towards the grazing horse and interact with the straw beneath the horse.
