How to start The Legend of Opusnupuri
Go to Husko Kotan in Nayoro Wilds and look for a large tree with yellow leaves. There will be people gathered in a circle around an Ainu storyteller. Sit and listen to start The Legend of Opusnupuri Myth.
Find a path up Niptay Mountain
Go south to Niptay Mountain in the direction the child pointed out. If you find the abandoned camp with cages and supplies, you’re in the right area.
To the northeast of the camp are some rocks you can climb up to start your path up the mountain. There’s also a path of white flours around the corner that will also lead you up the ledge.
You’ll find a black deer, talk to him and he’ll point out a large hole in the mountain, and then lead you to the path up the mountain. It’s a short swing of the grapple followed by some rock climbing.
Talk to the Ainu man, and he’ll help you open a barred off area stating how you won’t need your weapons from that point on. Jump across to the climbable rocks to get started.
Ahead are two paths, the right leads to some Bird Cherry Wood for upgrading. The left path leads you further along the mountain to progress the mission.
Grapple to the tree stump and climb up, you’ll find an Ainu Item. Examine the burnt campfire and the blood on the ground. After inspecting the blood, you’ll be attacked and thrown off the cliff by a gray bear riddled with blood and arrows.
Climb your way out
After gathering your bearings, you’ll find yourself in a grizzly situation. The sound of gunfire will be heard and you’ll find a ronin on the verge of death. Talk to him and he’ll tell you that this is no bear, but a demon, and no weapon can kill it.
This bear cannot be killed despite your efforts. It can survive a Ghost Stance onslaught, rifle bullets, fire bombs, explosive arrows, your bare fists, you name it.
Instead, the name of the game is to run and hide wherever you can, searching for a path forward. This bear will one-shot you with unblockable attacks if it gets too close.
Either run and roll past the bear, or squeeze through the rocks on the left, and climb up the wall with the white rocks. Make your way across the log and look for the rocks leading up.
Jump across to the gap and climb up more white rocks and go inside the cave. Keep looking for and climbing white rocks inside the cave until you’re outside and see that same Ainu man from earlier.
Sneak past the bear in the grass
Climb down below and make your way across the jumps and then immediately crouch inside the nearest tall grass you can find. Now it’s time for the hard part of this mission.
This bear has the nose of a bloodhound and will actively explore any amount of noise you make. You need to keep moving through the grass patches as stealthily as you can without alerting the bear.
Go forward through the various patches and you’ll see some rocks you can climb up. The moment you’re close to those rocks, run as if your life depends on it (which it does) and get up those rocks before the bear reaches you.
Climb over the ledge the immediately crouch in the tall grass as the bear is back. Follow the path of grass near the left wall, making sure the bear doesn’t catch up.
If the bear gets too close, circle back and make your way to the torch. Grapple down the stump.
After grappling down the stump, look to the right for a tree branch you can jump to. Jump across to the ledges, go down, and hide in the grass. Ahead is a frozen waterfall up ahead, sneak your way through the grass while avoiding the bear and reach it.
Near the waterfall is a torch next to a wall you can climb. Get up that wall, jump across the branch to reach the next torch, and keep climbing up.
Use the Arrow of Okikurmi
Ahead you’ll find a small grove of lush plant life amidst the frozen terrain. Go to the tree and pick up Okikurmi’s Arrow. Once collected, climb up the rocks to the left of the frozen waterfall.
Talk to the Ainu man and he’ll tell you that only this arrow can kill this bear. Take aim and release the arrow when the targeting reticle turns red.
The bear has finally met its end and after a short conversation, the Ainu man leaves and Atsu gives the arrow to the Ainu people. This completes the quest and you’ll gain the Charm of True Aim
Charm of True Aim
The Charm of True Aim is an upgradable major charm that allows the Yumi to automatically lock onto a target, dealing massive damage.
When you first get this, it’ll fire 1 arrow. As you upgrade it, it can fire 2 then 3 arrows up to 2 and 3 targets respectively. This is an insanely useful charm if you’re looking to snipe multiple enemies at once.
When equipped, targets will have a yellow reticle locking onto them as you draw your bow. When the reticle turns red, you’re ready to release the arrow. Disarming Arrows will have yellow reticles when fully charged
This charm will have you use multiple arrows unless you only have enough to fire one or two. While it’s not great for single targets as it wastes arrows, that single target will take a LOT of damage from multiple arrows at once. The more reticles on a single target, the more arrows that target takes.
