Pets play a significant role inRise Of The Ronin. For instance, if you’re a completionist like us, you’ve probably spent hours collecting cats across Japan. You may have also begun your Cat Concierge business with Usugumo Dayu. But where is the fun for us dog lovers out there? Don’t we get a nifty pet-reward system, too?

Do not worry, dog parents. Koei Tecmo’s got you covered! Rise Of The Ronin’s Pilgrim Dogs allows fellow ronin to share their wealth with other players via man’s best friend. Sounds like some good boys and girls to us! So, what are Pilgrim Dogs, and how do they work? (And how fuzzy-wuzzy are those chonky fur babies?) We’ll walk you through the basics.
