To Live is to Suffer is the sixteenth chapter of the story in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. It begins at the end of A Tempest at the Temple, after defeating Burai. As usual, throughout this spoiler-free walkthrough we'll help you complete every story chapter 100%, making sure you don't miss anything along the way and providing tips for the more difficult situations.
