Ginkui is one of the strongest and most sought-after weapons in GHOUL://RE.
This weapon offers massive damage, stunning capabilities, and deadly area-of-effect attacks.
However, the process of obtaining Ginkui is not easy and requires proper effort and strategy.
Here is a complete guide to getting Ginkui, from defeating the boss to collecting crafting materials.
1. Defeating Noro (Boss Raid)
The first step to getting Ginkui is to defeat Noro, a boss that has a small chance of dropping the Ginkui blueprint. Here are the steps:
- Open the Boss Raid:
- Go to the NPC marked with a “?” located near the CCG Base.
- Open the Boss Raid for a cost of 5,000 Gold. Make sure there are at least 8 players in the team to start the raid.
- Choose Noro as the Boss:
- After opening the Boss Raid, choose Noro as the boss to face. Noro is the boss that has a chance to drop the Ginkui blueprint.
- Defeat Noro:
- Noro has a small chance (0.1%) to drop the uniquely colored (mythical) Ginkui blueprint. Focus on defeating him with a coordinated team.
Important Note: Noro that spawns from the Aogiri Tree Quest Board does not drop the Ginkui blueprint. Be sure to fight Noro through the Boss Raid.
2. Collecting Crafting Materials
After obtaining the Ginkui blueprint, the next step is to collect the required crafting materials. Here is a list of the required materials:
- “Ginkui” Blueprint: Dropped by Noro (Boss Raid).

3. Craft Ginkui
