This Ghost of Yotei walkthrough guide will take you through the Face of a Master side quest, a horrifying tale in the game.
Ghost of Yotei doesn’t shy away from tapping into the superstitious elements of the time and culture of its setting, but rarely does it question its legitimacy the way it does in the “Face of a Master” quest.
In this quest, you’re faced with unprecedented brutality. Loads of people are seemingly murdered in cold blood. Was it a sickness that drove them mad? Was it a curse? Face of a Master will force you to ask those questions, and we’re here to walk you through the quest so you may find the answers.
How To Begin Face of a Master in Ghost of Yotei
You begin the Face of a Master quest by visiting Ikidomari Grove. As you approach this area, you’ll find a loud bunch of Ronin threatening a settler. Initiate a standoff and kill all the Ronin. Once they’re dealt with, walk over to the captive settler and press R2 to untie him.
The settler will reveal that he’s a medical practitioner and was here to help treat the sick. However, the Ronin took offense to that, believing that he was here to meddle with Kanemori’s curse. This then kicks off the quest.

Once the healer is free, he’ll immediately rush to help the sick people. Help clear the blockades on his path, the locked gate leading into the camp. Use your grapple hook to break this gate open. Squeeze through the gap and enter the camp, and you’ll discover that there are no people here, only remnants of a brutal fight.
Investigate the camp for clues, beginning with the banner on the left. Then, go to the impaled body at the center, and finish off the investigation with the basket to your right. The healer will then lead you to a chest, which you can loot to find a note. This note talks about Kanemori and how the people in the camp were planning to revolt against him.
Follow the healer to a nearby rock, and blast your way through by lighting a fuze with R2. In this next area, you’ll find a large wall with text on it. The text on this wall reveals that the people in the camp were cursed for revolting against Kanemori.
Follow the healer further, and he’ll take you to the next section of the camp. Investigate this area and you’ll discover more clues detailing the curse. The healer will simply refuse to believe that a curse is at play here, but will instead opt to abandon the issue altogether.
Whether it was a curse, guilt, or genuine sickness that killed the people is then left up to the player’s interpretation, bringing the quest to a close.
