In this guide, we’ll discuss how you can begin and complete Burning Plains in Ghost of Yotei, one of the post-game quests.
Burning Plains in Ghost of Yotei is an Unfinished Business quest, which means it’ll only appear on the map after you’ve completed the main campaign. However, this particular post-game content will only appear for you if you didn’t already complete the requirements beforehand. In the following guide, we’ll explore more about how to trigger the quest and how you can complete it.
How To Start Burning Plains in Ghost of Yotei
To begin the Burning Plains quest after the campaign, you’ll need to first meet the following conditions:
- Completed the game’s main story.
- Didn’t start or complete Sensei Takahashi’s questline before the conclusion of the main campaign.
If you meet both these conditions, the quest marker will automatically appear on your map as soon as you complete the campaign. If you completed Sensei Takahashi’s questline earlier on, Burning Plains won’t trigger at all for you.
How To Complete Burning Plains in Ghost of Yotei
Burning Plains is a post-game quest that clubs together the entirety of Sensei Takahashi’s questline for players who didn’t complete it while playing through the main campaign. So, you’ll need to complete all of the sub-quests to get through this Unfinished Business. These are the quests within Sensei Takahashi’s questline.
- The Way of the Yari
- The Path of the Yari
- The Yari’s Fury
- Sensei Takahashi’s Persimmon Tree
- The Burning of Castle Ishikari
Now let’s take a brief look at how you can complete each of these parts in the questline.
The Way of the Yari
In this quest, you’ll have to visit Modaiwa Island to find the Yari Master. After a battle with him, where you prove your mettle, he will teach you how to spear fish with the Yari and how to perform the Typhoon Kick, among others. Soon, Oni Raiders will attack you, and you can use the new moves on them to defeat the group. The Yari Master will hand over a stronger Yari to you once the battle ends and the quest concludes. You can read more about it in our detailed The Way of the Yari quest guide.
The Path of the Yari
You’ll automatically begin The Path of the Yari after completing The Way of the Yari. Head toward the Higashi Lumberyard in the Ishikari Plain. Defeat all of the enemies inside. After taking down the last enemy, you’ll learn of their leader, Eijiro the Ruthless. Head through a gate within the Lumberyard to find this specific foe. After an intense battle with Eijiro, you’ll finally liberate the lumberyard. Bow at the Altar of Reflection in this area once the fight is over.
Next, head to Bold Kaji Forge and liberate this location as well. The forge holds several enemies, and you might have an easier time using stealth to take down some or all of the foes. You’ll eventually find Kotetsu, the forge master, who’s been captured by the guards. You can release him from his captivity and take down a few more guards to finally liberate Bold Kaji Forge. This completes ‘The Path of the Yari’ quest.
The Yari’s Fury
In this part of the Burning Plains in Ghost of Yotei, you’ll have to visit Sensei Takahashi’s Dojo, which is located in the northeastern parts of the Ishikari Plain. Throughout the quest, you’ll work on improving your Yari techniques, first by hitting the tree by his Dojo, and later by reading the three technique scrolls here. You will soon learn the Thundering Wave skill.
You can perform this move by equipping the Yari and then pressing triangle and circle at the same time. Once you learn the move and practice it a few times, Oni Raiders will attack the Dojo. You can test out the new moves with your Yari on these enemies. Defeating all of the enemies will complete this quest.
Sensei Takahashi’s Persimmon Tree
This one automatically begins after you’ve completed The Yari’s Fury. You will need to learn five skills under the Yari skill tree to progress in this particular quest. If you haven’t devoted any points to this branch yet, you have to find five Altars of Reflection to earn the skill points.
After unlocking five Yari skills, you need to get back to Sensei Takhashi’s Dojo. Once there, strike the persimmon tree with your Yari to complete the quest. You’ll get a Weapon Kit for completing the quest.
The Burning of Castle Ishikari
The final quest you’ll have to get through is The Burning of Castle Ishikari. Doing this completes Burning Plains in Ghost of Yotei. The quest begins with Atsu making her way to the Otaru Hills to convince the Bomb Maker to join her cause. Next, you’ll need to liberate three specific locations, namely, Nishin Fishery, Masked Man’s Quarry, and Broken Horn Garrison.
In all of these locations you’ll have to eliminate all of the guards inside to liberate these places. In Broken Horn Garrison, you’ll also have to rescue a prisoner besides fighting off the guards. After that, you’ll need to complete The Oni main quest, where you find and kill the Oni. Once all of these tasks are complete, speak with Sensei Takahashi at his Dojo. There, the Sensei and Ina will fill you in on a plan to retake Castle Ishikari.
Accompany them to the castle and then wait for Takahashi’s signal before springing the attack. Eliminate all of the guards inside the castle to conquer the location. After that, a night of celebration follows. Once the festivities end, you’ll have to follow the sake jars to regroup with your allies. This brings The Burning of Castle Ishikari to a close.
