Learn how to reach Teshio Ridge for the mission Spirits of Teshio Ridge in Ghost of Yotei. The Kitsune of the Yotei Six is hiding in northern Ezo, and Atsu must make her way to this frigid land to hunt them down.
How to start Spirits of Teshio Ridge
After returning to your home for the first time, you can encounter wandering ronin that are hunting you while you explore. If you defeat them you can find a lead on the Yotei Six.
To start heading to Teshio Ridge, you’ll need to get information about the Kitsune of the Yotei Six. From there, follow the Nupur River going north to Teshio Ridge.
You’re looking for an Ainu woman near a small dock. Talk to her and she’ll ferry you up the river to the Nayoro Wilds. Get on your horse and keep following the Nupur River northward.
You’ll run into a group of merchants having some trouble with their horses. Approach them and a cutscene will start. They’ll offer to pay for your protection, but when one of them doubts you, say “Rudeness costs extra” for good pay.
Protect the Merchants
This next section is fairly simple as you’ll just need to follow the settler in front of you. As you approach the woods with the blue lanterns, you’ll be ambushed by shinobi.
They use kusarigama and shields, so using the Yari or the Oni’s Flame is good here. After the group is defeated, a cutscene will start starring none other than the Kitsune. He throws a poisoned kunai at Atsu, knocking her out and leaving her for dead.
Follow your Horse and seek Shelter
This next portion will offer a small reprieve as you follow your horse into a nearby cave. Inside you’ll find a small campfire. Make a fire to warm up and start the next cutscene.
After the cutscene, it’ll be day and you’ll be Teshio Ridge. Use the spyglass to scout the Red Crane Inn straight ahead and the mountains to your right.
You’ll have your choice to investigate the Red Crane Inn for information on the Kitsune, or seek out Kusarigama Master.
