Like a Dragon: Ishin! Book of Revelation Locations Guide

As you make your way through Like a Dragon: Ishin!, you’ll unlock a lot of skills. You’ll get most of them by spending Soul Orbs or by training with masters of the various styles, but some are locked behind Books of Revelation.

Books of Revelation are found in the world and are generally unlocked by clearing a specific style master’s questline or specific mastery challenges. This guide will tell you how to get them, and thankfully, there aren’t as many Books as there are Trooper Cards. 

Where to Find All Books or Revelation in Like a Dragon: Ishin!

Here’s where to find all 8 of the Books of Revelation in Like a Dragon: Ishin!. Luckily, since there are technically no missables in Ishin!, you’ll be able to get them all as long as you complete the requirements listed below. 

1. Book of Revelation: Strike

This Book unlocks Essence of Grand Bruising in the Brawler style. You’ll get it by completing Advanced Room 10 in the Scarecrow Chateau.

Once you’ve got a Book in your possession, you’ll need to repeatedly employ the technique it specifies to have a chance at unlocking the Revelation and earning your new ability. The Heat icon will trigger in the upper left corner of your screen when the Revelation is available, so keep an eye out for it!

Once you’ve gotten all eight Books and have unlocked their Revelations, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking all of Ryoma’s skills. There’s still more to do once you’ve maxed out every class, but that’s a subject for another guide. For more, head to our guides hub.
