How to start the Silver Smugglers quest
You can start Silver Smugglers when you reach Tamba. In the northeast corner of Tamba, you’ll find Sukyoji Temple. Talk to the man in front of the altar, Hosokawa Fujitaka, and he’ll give you the quest.
The Interrogator
After talking to Fujitaka, you’ll get a lead on one of the Silver Smugglers. It would be best to start with this one as it’s the most esoteric location of the lot.
To the east of Sukyoji Temple is Onitake Shrine on Mount Akaiwa. You’ll need to contact Fujitaka’s man at this location. He’ll be dead and you’ll need to investigate the ambush site.
Follow the blood trail into a small cave entrance and crawl inside. Jump down and you’ll be in a smuggler’s den with your target, The Interrogator.
