ARENA PREREQUISITES
Arena gear comes from tournament rewards at Hozoin Temple. Free participation starts in Chapter 9. Hozoin Training is initially available. Divine Fist needs four Hozoin Training wins. Sword Hell needs two Hozoin Training and two Ho-Oh wins; Intense Freeze needs three Sword Hell wins.
In Chapter 10, Great Ho-Oh requires four Ho-Oh wins; Adamantine requires three Divine Fist wins; Scorching Blaze requires three Intense Freeze wins; Cliff Edge requires three Scorching Blaze wins. Master Contest needs three Great Ho-Oh and three Adamantine wins. Swordmaster Contest needs three Master Contest and three Cliff Edge wins. Peerless requires four Swordmaster Contest wins and Chapter 11. Advance the story if the wins are complete but the next tournament has not appeared.
The body-armour rewards are Dragon Sarashi (Great Ho-Oh), Bloodstained Sarashi (Master Contest) and Dragon Katabira (Peerless). The accessories are Hariti Amulet (Hozoin Training), Shoes of Good Health (Divine Fist), Useless Magatama (Adamantine), Wrath Talisman and Yoichi Amulet (Scorching Blaze), Soul Beads (Swordmaster Contest), and Large Tengu Fan (Peerless).
PRACTICAL PICKS
Lucky Beads remove street encounters; take them off while working toward Toyokichi's 80-fight requirement. Bloodstained Sarashi triples Heat gain but carries -30 in every defense, so it is a risky combat choice. Seamless Raiment provides bullet immunity at an enormous 500 Ryo price. Soul Beads and Shoes of Good Health supply healing in different situations. Cat Shoes make avoiding the Doshin harder, despite their collection-reward status.
