Talismans and guards in Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess are a quick and easy way to change up your gameplay completely. Without them, you’re going to struggle against many bosses, so finding and unlocking them around the maps is essential.
How to unlock all talismans and guards in Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess
If you want to unlock the guards and talismans, you must pay attention to all the extra parts of the maps and bases. As you play through the game, you will find a few ways to unlock both.
Base repair
Initially, base repair inKunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddesswill only unlock recipes and extra upgrade points. However, when you manage to complete a base, you will be rewarded with either a Talisman or a new Guard. Therefore, it is key that you start upgrading your base as soon as you can. The faster they get upgraded, the better your playstyle will be.
Once you have completed all the repairs for each base, visit Yoshiro in her tent. This will reward you with either one of the guards or talismans in Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess.
Shrine unlocks
Another way to get both talismans and guards in Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess is by unlocking the shrines in corrupted bases. Before night falls, it is essential that you find and cleanse all the areas of corruption. If you manage to find them all, the shrine will unlock, and you will receive either a talisman or a guard. If you are struggling to find them all, equip yourself with the Demon Chime talisman that signals when you are close to a place of corruption.
Hidden chests
Around each level, chests are hidden while they are still corrupted and before nightfall. Only a Thief class villager can uncover or unlock these chests. The best thing to do is create a thief during the clearing stage and set them to unlock the various chests. Black chests contain talismans and guards in Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess, so seek those out first.
However, you must upgrade your thief to stage 3 to open most of the better chests. At this point, they can pick locks, giving you access to better gear. Once the battle stage begins, I suggest getting rid of your thief and repurposing them into something that doesn’t run away from a fight.
All Talismans and Guard
This is a work in progress. There are many guards to find around Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess and 72 total Talismans to collect. Here are the ones I have found so far.

Talisman Tier list
Here is where I would rank the Talismans in the Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess. I like to play hard and fast, rarely blocking and tanking hits with my dodge. These are the ones I have found so far. As I progress, I will add more to the list and adjust the Tier list, too.
All guards in Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess
Guards can seriously up your sword game if equipped with the right ones. When activated, they deliver devastating attacks, raising enemies’ stagger bars and quickly dissipating hordes of Seethes. Really, what it comes down to is your own playstyle.
If you like to keep everything spread thinly, dancing between locations, find a guard to work with that. However, I keep things grouped and often shift my villagers around.
