With a large open world to explore and plenty more to do, Rise of the Ronin will take players many hours just to see everything there is to offer in ancient Japan. After all, with so much combat and tension, it is nice to be able to just relax and take in the sights before plunging deeper into the story.

To that end, Team Ninja has managed to create a world that has all sorts of activities for players to get busy. You could take photographs of iconic places, hunt down missing cats, or, for a particular trophy, dive off one of the tallest structures in the land and show off your gliding skills. For those who are hunting the Dive of the Ronin trophy that requires you to glide from the elevated deck at Kiyomizudera Temple in Rise of the Ronin, here's how to get this task done.

How to Get the Dive of the Ronin Trophy in Rise of the Ronin

Before you can even think about using the Glider, Kiyomizudera Temple needs to be located first. Players will be able to get to the specific area only in Chapter 3, where the action shifts to Kyoto. Now, make your way southeast to the Higashiyama region to find the temple.

Once the game recognizes that the landmark has been checked out, look up ahead to find the elevated deck in question. However, it will take some work to get up there. Here's what you will need to do:

  • Look to the right to climb up some platforms and use the grappling hook to get up on the wooden scaffolding. Be sure to loop around and swing across to the next set of platforms before reaching the cliffside.
  • You will now find yourself at the entrance of a smaller temple. This is also where players can take a photo of the deck for one of the requests in the region.
  • Forge ahead and go up the stairs, then look to the left for a ladder going down. Climb down and begin making your way across the wooden platform to the other end.
  • Leap off the platform ahead and explore the nearby buildings if you wish. The next step is to go up the stairs leading back to the main temple.

  • In the courtyard, look for the scaffolding to get up on the roof of a building, which will help you to get to the next roof nearer to the main temple. It is here you will get to move across into a small gap by the side of the building.
  • Make your way through the passage, with an alternate path leading to some treasure, but the main exit is the hole in the ground with steam coming out of it. Drop through, and you will find yourself on the main deck.
  • Activate the Veiled Banner, and proceed to leap off the edge and start gliding. The trophy will pop after a short while of gliding.​​​​​

There will also be a story mission that will take place in the area, so players can also wait until then to discover the spot. Of course, doing so early via the method above will save you time from having to trek all the way here later on.
