Ah, this thing they call the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual, it’s a bit of a headache, I tell ya. Now, if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking, “What on earth is this 0/3 business?!” Well, lemme break it down for ya as simple as I can. First of all, you gotta head over to that Inazuma place. Now, don’t even think about starting this if you ain’t Adventure Rank 30 yet. That’s like the first rule. You also gotta finish some quest called “Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves”. Don’t ask me why, it’s just how it is.
Once you’ve done all that, you can finally begin the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual. Now, this thing, it ain’t no walk in the park, trust me. There’s five parts to it, but today we’re just focusing on the first three steps—0/3 as they say. If you’re looking for Kazari, that’s the lady who kicks off this whole thing. She’s usually hanging around some shrine between Ritou and Konda Village. Keep an eye out for her poking around some fox statue, and that’s when the fun begins.

Step 1: Start at Konda Village
Now, first things first, head on over to Konda Village. When you get there, talk to the village folk and figure out what’s been going on. They’ll give you some clues. Turns out, there’s some trouble with the water in the village, so you’re gonna have to look around a bit and find a way to fix it. It’s all tied to that shrine and some old sacred stuff. Do some digging, find clues, maybe you’ll even get a map, if you’re lucky.
When you get all the clues together, you’ll finally come across the first shrine. There’s gonna be these fox statues, and that’s where you need to do the first part of the ritual. Interact with the statues, say your little prayers or whatnot, and boom! First part done. Easy, right? Well, it gets trickier from here.
Step 2: Head to the Abandoned Shrine
Now, after Konda, you gotta move on to the Abandoned Shrine. It’s a spooky place, full of those spirit things floating around. Keep your eyes peeled. The shrine is tucked away in the trees, so don’t get lost. When you get there, you’ll see more fox statues. Do the same thing you did in Konda, but this time you might run into a few more puzzles. Solve ’em, do the ritual, and that’s the second part outta the way.
Oh, but be careful. Sometimes, these spirits, they don’t like being disturbed. So, you might have to fight off some enemies before you can finish the ritual. Don’t worry, it’s all part of the process. Just keep your head down and get it done.
Step 3: Cleanse the Shrine at Araumi
Now, the last part of this 0/3 business is in a place called Araumi. This one’s a bit trickier to find, but keep at it, you’ll get there. Once again, there’s more fox statues. By now, you should know the drill. Interact with ’em, solve any puzzles that come up, and finish the ritual. But don’t get too excited just yet. This ain’t the end of the whole ritual. There’s still more to do after this, but at least you’ll be done with the first three steps.
So, that’s the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual 0/3 for ya. It’s a long and winding road, but just take it one step at a time. Don’t rush it, and if you get stuck, maybe grab a friend to help ya out. It took some folks 6-7 hours just to get through this thing, so don’t worry if it takes ya a while. Patience is key.
Alright, now go on and cleanse those shrines!
