How to get the Glider in Rise of the Ronin
To get the Glider in Rise of the Ronin, all you need to do is progress through the story until you meet Ryoma Sakamoto. Make sure you beeline through the Ronin quest until you get to Ryoma and then follow his to reach the next mission. Meeting Ryoma will initiate a main Ronin Mission that takes you to a base you need to clear out.
During this mission, you will come up against an enemy called Gonzo. Once you defeat Gonzo, you will obtain a special key that can be used to open the door to get the Glider. Take the key from Gonzo, go down from the boss arena and head to the left. Open the locked door and you will find the Glider in the big chest near the other side of the room.
Get the Glider ASAP
You should focus on getting the Glider as soon as you get to explore Yokohama. We know you’re itching to explore, but getting the Glider fast will make exploration much easier.
Congratulations, now you’ve got the Glider in Rise of the Ronin and you can start cruising around the map. There is a brief tutorial explaining how it works, but it is self-explanatory.
How to upgrade the Glider
Once you’ve unlocked the Technology Department, you can purchase a few upgrades for the Glider that will help improve its use. You will need Foreign Books to get these upgrades, but you can get skills such as reducing Ki usage while gliding and the aerial assassination skill. These are all unlocked through Technology Development and can be done in any city where there is one.
How to change the Glider appearance
As you play through the game, you will eventually unlock more options to visually change your Glider. This can be done as soon as you get a cosmetic for the Glider, also called the Avicula. When you have unlocked a cosmetic, you can go to any Longhouse and choose the ‘Change Contraption’ option. This can be found under the Relax tab.
