Flavour Text: 'Your name is Demon Slayer? Really? Good name for rotgut, that.' She said: I prefer 'The Goddess Of Swords'. Much more dignified. And accurate. 'Demon Slayer The Cheap And Nasty it is then. Burns going down, burns coming up?' She said: Every single time, Charan. And still...you'll bathe me, and you'll drink my love. Until you can't.

Any news on Oni-Goroshi being a low level item + a semi 1/2 Hander? I'm unsure whether to farm it in case the tree is very low level or doesn't give 2 hander tree.

Oni-Goroshi is a one-handed sword so it will generate with a one-handed sword Crucible Weapon Tree. Oni-Goroshi's from Hillock will be item level 1, however Oni-Goroshi obtained from the "Rebirth" Divination Card set will have higher item levels and thus better options in their Crucible Weapon Trees.

Mechanics

Uses both hand slots: Oni-Goroshi does not allow a shield or another one-handed weapon to be equipped in the off-hand slot. However, it does not count as a two-handed weapon.

Gain Her Embrace for 3 seconds when you Ignite an Enemy: Oni-Goroshi grants Her Embrace for three seconds when the character ignites an enemy, as long as Oni-Goroshi remains equipped. Unequipping Oni-Goroshi or switching to a different weapon will immediately remove Her Embrace. Her Embrace is a buff that grants the following effects:

  • Cannot be Stunned
  • 123% of Sword Physical Damage gained as Extra Fire Damage
  • Unaffected by Burning Ground
  • Immune to Freeze, Chill and Ignite
  • 20% increased Attack, Cast and Movement Speed

While in Her Embrace, take 0.5% of your total Maximum Life and Energy Shield as Fire Damage per second per Level: Damage taken is based on the player character's combined maximum life and energy shield, multiplied by their level. For example, a level 90 character with 4500 life and 1500 energy shield will take 2700 fire damage per second by default. This damage is "raw" damage that the fire resistance is required to take into account to calculate the final damage taken; It does not count as an ignite.

Note that flask with of Dousing suffix only remove burning on use, and does not prevent the player character from burning during flask effect. Moreover, the burning damage from this item is indirectly triggered by the buff via the item mod, the burning damage is immediately apply back to the player character if the player character still has the buff from this item. Player can remove the buff by a quick weapon swap by pressing X in PC (it bind to other button in console), thus stopping the player character to take burning damage.

Item has 6 Sockets and is fully linked (Hidden): Oni-Goroshi has a hidden mod that grants six linked sockets, ignoring item level and the socket limit of one-handed items.

Recipes

Oni-Goroshi can be created from the following recipes:

Amount Part Description
27 Rebirth unique Charan's Sword
1 The Void Random divination card set exchange

Oni-Goroshi can only be obtained as a drop from Uber Hillock, or by turning in a set of 27 Rebirth divination cards.

Oni-Goroshi is guaranteed to drop in a modified encounter with Hillock, where Hillock is stronger and the sword sticking in him is visually changed.

Because the The Twilight Strand becomes inaccessible when the character enters Lioneye's Watch after killing Hillock, obtaining Oni-Goroshi from Hillock requires the following, somewhat "grindy" procedure:

  • With a new character, kill Hillock and optionally every other monster in the Twilight Strand.
  • Do not enter Lioneye's Watch but log out to the character selection screen, wait about 1 minute 30 seconds for the instance to reset (the Twilight Strand has a shorter reset period than other zones), and reenter the game with the same character. This puts the character back at the beginning of the Twilight Strand.
  • Continue killing the monsters and Hillock until he carries the sword. This can even last until your character is level 9.

To speed up this procedure, a batch of three or four new characters can be used in serial to farm Hillock in this manner (each Hillock kill takes about 30 seconds with +10% movement speed boots). Furthermore, using Scion will allow you to take movement speed nodes on the bottom right of the tree, hence allowing you to gain experience at a faster rate.
