How to reach the Limitless Tough Chijiko
Spawn at Path of Koyama Shrine and follow the main path forward.

Right after the crucible, look up and slightly left—the Chijiko hovers in plain view above the terrain.
Shoot it down with any bow or ranged attack.
Step 4
Pet it once it’s down.
Step 5
It will drop Samurai’s Locks and the Limitless Tough martial art scroll.
Step 6
Pick up the drops, then return to a shrine to allocate your Samurai Point if you have the prerequisite Limitless unlocked.
