How to start the quest
“The Betrayers” is a quest you can pick up by speaking to Hori Hidemasa. You will find him near a large rock in the Miidera Temple, in Otsu Upper District, at the Lake Biwa shores, in Mouth of Seta, Omi. To start the conversation with him, you will need to bring Yasuke.
Hori was loyal to Lord Nobunaga and recognizes Yasuke immediately. He will ask you to help him track down a number of targets who betrayed the common cause for personal gain.
In the meantime, Naoe is nearby and waiting for Yasuke to finish. This is a rare discussion between the two characters where they confront each other’s past in a side quest, outside of the main storyline.
After the cinematic, you will receive the quest “The Betrayers” as well as the first target on The Betrayers circle on your objectives board. You can choose to play as Naoe or Yasuke for the assassinating part of the quest.
Where to find all targets
There are a total of seven targets on The Betrayers circle on your board. They are located all over the map. You can do them in the order we suggest in this walkthrugh or just follow the objectives and clues you discover.
If you have already encountered and assassinated some of the group’s members before. In this case, they will appear as already crossed and completed.
Sato Katsubei Location
You can find and assassinate Sato Katsubei in Yamazaki Castle, in Yamshiro. He is usually in the northeastern corner, in the yard.
Fujichika Nakayama Location
You will find Fujichika Nakayama inside the main building, the tenshu, of Takatsuki Castle, in Izumi Settsu, the first region.
If you have discovered already the Viewpoint on the rooftop of the tenshu, you can climb down from the roof hatch and sneak two flowers below where you will find him sitting in one of the middle rooms.
Endo Tomoyasu Location
You will find Endo Tomoyasu just outside Kongobuji Temple, on its eastern side. The temple is in Kii’s central sub-region Koyasan.
When you arrive at the location, you will find Hori Hidemasa, who has already completed the assassination himself.
Talk to him and watch the cinematic where he explains the urgency of the situation and his reasons to act swiftly even though he first told you he wishes to stay clean from this.
Hori Hidemasa will move immediately back to Otsu, in Omi. Head there to talk to him. He will give you some clues about the remaining four targets on the list.
