This Ghost of Yotei walkthrough guide will take you through the A Fox in Monk’s Clothing side quest in the game.
Just when you think the Nine Tails can’t stoop any lower, they somehow sink even more, as evidenced by Ghost Yotei’s A Fox in Monk’s Clothing quest. The outlaw group has now resorted to using an imposter monk to lure unsuspecting people into traps. An actual monk has caught wind of the scheme and wishes for your help to save lives and bring the sham to an end.
A Fox in Monk’s Clothing is one of the shorter quests in the game, and fairly difficult to find if you don’t know where to look. If you’re having any sort of trouble with this quest, our guide will walk you through it.
How To Begin A Fox in Monk’s Clothing

You begin A Fox in Monk’s Clothing by talking to the monk near Bifuka Sake House in Teshio Ridge. Spawn at the Bifuka Sake House and look to the hill to your right. You’ll find smoke piercing into the air. Follow this smoke trail and you’ll discover a monk by a campfire.
The monk will call out to you, stating he needs help. He’ll reveal that he’s searching for an imposter who wears the robes of a monk. This accused monk works for the Nine Tails, and their involvement now has the monk worrying for his life. He wants your protection, so select “Accept Job” to accept the job and begin the quest.

Once you agree to protect the monk, he’ll lead you to a nearby cottage where the imposter resides. Follow the monk to the imposter’s home, and your ride will be cut short by Nine Tails. Fight off the ambushers and protect the monk while doing so. Resume the ride once the coast is clear.
Ride to the imposter’s home and enter. Examine items around the house to pick up the imposter’s trail, then head out to find footprints. The prints lead to the Crimson Forest. Follow the monk to the forest, and fight off all the Nine Tails along the way.
Reach the Crimson Forest and resume your search on foot. You’ll then reach the Traveller’s Rest, where you’ll be able to spot the imposter by a campfire below. The imposter is surrounded by hidden Nine Tails, and uses his unassuming nature to draw people to him, leaving them exposed to ambushes.
Sneak around and kill off all the ambushers around the imposter. Confront the imposter after killing the Nine Tails, and he’ll reveal that he was coerced into being bait. You then have the option to force the imposter to help people or leave the land as punishment. We recommend forcing him to help people to make up for his crimes. This will then bring the quest to a close.
