How to get the Fire Pipe in Rise of the Ronin
You can get the Fire Pipe in Rise of the Ronin by completing the A Lucky Find Put to Use mission issued by Igashichi Izuka.

- Interact with Igashichi Izuka to get the Camera mission.
- Complete that mission and visit him in the photo studio situated in Yokohama. Interact with him.

- Select the recommended choices during the cutscene to activate the quest. Two shogunate officials will try to intimidate Igashichi once you leave the studio. Select any of the choices and defeat them.
- Follow Igashichi where he keeps his inventions. Once you arrive at the storehouse, he will ask you to use the Detector to sniff out the enemies. Use it to locate the foes.
