Learn where to find a lead on the rest of Atsu’s family’s killers for the mission, The Yotei Six. You’ll get to learn where exactly to find someone with information and how to get it out of them.
Finding a Lead
This mission becomes available after infiltrating Saito’s training fortress, but this mission’s objective can be complete as soon as you finish Way of the Dual Katana.
Go southwest of Yotei’s Shadow Inn on the west side of the Sarubetsu River. If you go to the pinned location seen below, a ronin will come on horseback and attempt to claim your bounty.
Yellow Glints
This encounter introduces the Yellow Glints mechanic. If an opponent is about to make a Disarming attack, their weapon will have a yellow glint. Hold and release the Heavy Attack button before they get a chance to strike.
Getting Information
After defeating the Ronin, he’ll give you information on the remaining Yotei Six. This comes in the form of a cutscene showing various locations that house targets of the Yotei Six.
The Oni is in the Ishikari Plain, a warlord who quelled a rebellion against him that was led by Sensei Takahashi.
The Kitsune is in the frozen land of Teshio Ridge. All but one in the area fear him, the exception being a kusarigama master, Master Enomoto.
The sons of Lord Saito, the Dragon and the Spider, are fond of firearms. All you learn is that for some reason, they’re after an odachi master in Tokachi Range.
You’ll then have to ask the location for either the Oni, Kitsune, or the Dragon and Spider. Each selection indicates a new weapon you can acquire.
Choosing the Oni will set you on the path to gain the Yari (Japanese spear), the Kitsune leads to a Kusarigama, and the Dragon/Spider leads to the Odachi (long katana).
Make your selection and you’ll get a new map marker that leads you to your selected target. With this new information, the hunt for the Yotei Six can continue.
