How to Get the Agura no Hotei-sama in Silent Hill f
The Agura no Hotei-sama is found in the Hermitage of Crimson Water, a hidden area that can be accessed from the Main Hall, the 4th Otherworld location. You will need to go to the staircase that you visit after completing the second ritual and taking on the crest that allows Bestial Form. Since this is New Game+, you can reach this area from the central Main Hall without having to go to the ritual locations. Once you enter Main Hall, go to the southeast corner area and open a heavy metal door with your Fox Arm. Once through the door, open the door to your left with a crest on it. You will be at the base of a staircase. Go up two staircases. At the top of the second staircase is a room with bluish moonlight coming through the roof and a destroyed floor. Go around the destroyed floor to reach the northwest corner of the room to find a marked wall. Focus on the wall with your Fox Mask to melt it and reveal a new path. You will find an Inari-sama door at the end of this path. With the Brooch you received at the end of your first playthrough, you can open this door. Follow the path behind the door to reach the Hermitage of Crimson Water.
Overlooking this outdoor area is a building. Make your way up the paths to enter this building. Go to the table in the middle of the room to find a small jar. This is the Agura no Hotei-sama, also referred to as the Hotei-sama Sitting Cross-Legged. Interact with it to pick it up. The first time you pick this up, you will get the “Treasured Belonging” Achievement. You will need this item for the “Fox’s Wedding” Ending.
