Ghost of Yotei: All Fox Den Locations

In this guide, we shall go over the fox den locations in Ghost of Yotei and discuss the rewards you get for finding them.

Ghost of Yotei brings back the beloved fox dens you saw in Ghost of Tsushima, but now they’re better than ever. Instead of blindly following a fox, you now get to partake in mini stories involving the foxes. Each fox you find has its own personality. One wants you to look out for its friends, another is scared of masks, one more is simply obsessed with getting pets, and so on.

They’re all a joy to meet, but finding them is easier said than done. They’re hard to find if you don’t have a keen ear for their purrs. If you’re having trouble finding the fox dens, this guide is here to help.
