Kingy has not verified a secret-encounter route or alternate-path trigger for Way of the Sword. We do not yet have a reproducible solution to recommend.
VGC describes optional activities separately from story progression. That reporting does not verify the secret triggers missing from this page. The steps below are Kingy’s observation method.
Keep your platform, build, mission and starting location with the observation.
Record the exact action and resulting dialogue, route or encounter. A nearby change alone does not establish which action caused it.
Retain an earlier save where the game supports one. Do not overwrite progress solely to reproduce an unconfirmed claim.
Use the documented guides for established objectives
Follow the related walkthrough and boss pages for their attributed coverage. Hidden encounters, alternate outcomes, repeatability and recovery after a missed trigger remain open research questions here.
