- Defeat Batsu at Moegi Ridge to get access to Soh upgrades
- The upgrades cost Musubi just like villager upgrades
- The upgrades cover archery, Oka Dance skills, commands, talisman slots, and more
Surviving the increasingly testing tower defence stages in Kunitsu-Gami relies on a mix of strategy, using the environment to your advantage, and targeted villager roles upgrades. Alongside, protagonist Soh also has his own suite of combat tools, namely upgrades similar to those for villagers, to take on the Seethe.
However, these aren’t available until you’ve put a few hours into Kunistu-Gami Path of the Goddess. We’ll walk you through how to unlock Soh upgrades. It’s worth learning how to get more Musubi to finance these new upgrades once you have access to them.
How to get Soh upgrades
To unlock Soh’s upgrades, you’ll need to progress until you’ve completed the Moegi Ridge stage and then defeat the area’s Ominous Presence called Batsu. They’re arguably the toughest boss this far into Kunitsu-Gami, but fortunately you have a troupe of villagers to back you up.

Once Batsu is dealt with, head back to Yoshiro’s tent in any of the stages you’ve completed previously. Select Musubi Upgrades and you’ll see a new mask, shaped like Soh’s, next to the villager role masks you’ve already unlocked. Here, you’ll see a selection of skills, upgrades, and abilities that enhance Soh’s fighting abilities, villager commands, and more. Each one costs Musubi, ranging from 5 for basic skills up to 50 for the most powerful unlocks.
