Onimusha 2 Remastered has eight necklaces for us to hunt down. Out of eight, four of them are character-specific, and one of them requires us to rely on the RNG game to get it. It can get difficult to hunt all of them down, since the necklaces are intertwined with other objectives or items. Here, we will cover all the items and NPC interactions that you must carry out to obtain the necklace.
