Onimusha Way of the Sword contains 54 Oni Stone locations. Oni Stones are upgrade materials, needed to fully upgrade all skills for the Well-Rounded trophy & achievement. On the first playthrough you won’t find enough Oni Stones to fully upgrade the Gauntlet, but your skills carry over into New Game+ and you can collect the Oni Stones again for the last upgrades.
You can still free-roam and find all collectibles up until the Point of No Return before the final mission “The Clash At Rendaino”. If you keep a manual save from this point, then you can still clean up everything from there.

Is there an easy way to check which oni stones been missed?
There’s no chests on the map, I’ve upgraded everything and maxed out everything apart from one last special skill and the last two oni stoned I collected were from Yoshitsunes tower.
