POE 3.21 Oni-Goroshi Farming Guide - Why to Farm the Oni-Goroshi?

Oni-Goroshi is the Godess Infused Sword that drops six links, it can only be obtained by farming Hillock, the boss in Twilight Strand during leveling, or by turning in a set of 27 Rebirth divination cards. It requires significant time and dedication due to the rarity of the drop. However, with the right approach, you can maximize your chances of obtaining this prized item. 

Here is the Oni-Goroshi mechanic as below:

• Uses both hand slots

• (70–90)% increased Critical Strike Chance

• Adds 2 to 3 Physical Damage to Attacks per Level

• Gain Her Embrace for 3 seconds when you Ignite an Enemy

• While in Her Embrace, take 0.5% of your total Maximum Life and Energy Shield as Fire Damage per second per Level

Best Ways/Methods to Farm Oni-Goroshi in POE 3.21

1. Choosing the Right Character and Build

To farm Oni-Goroshi quickly, select a character build that excels in fast levelling and boss killing. Builds with high AoE damage, strong survivability, and good movement speed can make the process more efficient. Popular options include Sunder, Cyclone, and Blade Vortex builds. Ensure your character has the necessary gear, gems, and passive tree setup to optimize damage output and survivability.

2. Uber Hillock Method/Twilight Strand Farming Method

The drop rate of Oni-Goroshi from Uber Hillock is 100%. Uber Hillock has a small chance to spawn in the Act 1 Twilight Strand area. There also seems to be a direct correlation between the level of your character and the chance of rubric spawning. The higher your character level, the more chance he’s got spawning. This means we should start a new character and level it without it ever Levering the Twilight Strand.

- The simplest way of doing this is to kill Hillock and then log out without going into town. To maximize our efficiency, we should use a Scion. This has access to more movement speed on the tree than any other character at the start of the game.

- With our first seven levels, we’re able to get up to 26% increased movement speed once we have 10% increased movement to be boots. To increase our chance of spawning over Hillock, we need to spawn as many Hillocks as possible in the shortest amount of time possible.

- Once we got characters, the movement speed off the tree and some decent gear we were able to find and vanquish Hillock in about 31 seconds. As an area’s refresh timer starts to tick down once we leave the area, we’re going to require 4 characters to be up all the time trying to find Hillock.

- So, roll out for Scions and we start running on the beach. For the first few levels, you can run right to the end of the beach, kill Hillock and then work your way back across the beach, killing everything else. Killing Hillock at the very start can be quite problematic because you’ll run out of Life and Mana Flasks.

- To maximize this, pin Hillock up against the rock and then keep throwing the blade at him. Our skill does most damage at the end of its run and therefore bouncing it off a wall causes it to immediately end the run.

Note

- Twink gear: Your first priority gear wise is to collect Runners boots, such as Runner’s Wool Shoes of Thick Skin to increase movement speed and a two-handed sword. After this, go for two Iron Rings. When looking for other items, just look for good stats that will either keep us alive or give us damage, such as attack speed on gloves. The best amulet to use is the one that gives us mana regen. This will help us not have to use our flask guide too often, which means they won’t run out. The amulet is also a good place to get flat damage to attacks.

- XP farming: While farming for Oni-Goroshi, you will also gain experience points. Consider using this opportunity to level up your character and earn valuable skill points to further enhance your build.

3. Trading and Alternate Methods

If the Twilight Strand farming method proves too time-consuming or challenging, you can explore other options. Trade leagues offer a marketplace where players can buy and sell items, including Oni-Goroshi. Accumulate currency through other means, such as mapping or boss farming, to trade for the sword. This approach provides an alternative for those seeking a faster acquisition but may require substantial in-game currency.
